Re: Lost files?

[Mike Linnett]

Oops!
Check out data rescue. I think they have a trial version that'll show  
you the files it's recovered but you need to stump up the funds to  
actually recover the stuff.
Takes a while to run it's scan, and sometimes doesn't get the right  
file names, and needs a bit of free space, but it gets the job done!

Hi All
I just made a mistake with RsyncX I thought I was backing up one  
folder of music to a 1 TB drive and when I was looking at the  
progress I saw that it removed all the folders on the drive
instead of just the one I was copying. So I stopped the process but  
I think I lost a lot of stuff. Is there a magic bullet to get the  
stuff back or am I SOL?

RE: MDD won't deep sleep

[Stewie de Young]

 First the specs of this machine. It's a Dual 1.25 G4 Powermac MDD.
 It's bone stock except for having 1.25gb ram, and an Apple combo drive
 in the second bay. The problem I'm having is it will never auto sleep.
 I understand that some PCI cards can cause this problem, but I have
 none installed. I've tried everything short of installing a new OS to
 fix the problem, and with little to show for it. I'm kinda hoping this
 is an easy fix because I hate the idea of this thing running 24/7.
 Anyway, this is what it's doing. I'll set the energy saver panel to
 put the computer at some value, and when that time is reached, the
 monitor immediately shuts down, but everything continues to roar
 inside the case. Occasionally I'll hear the hard drive spin down, to
 only hear it immediately spin up again. All the problematic option in
 the control panel are switched off (spinning hard drive down when
 possible, or wake for various things), I've removed the multiple
 preference files, flashed the pram, unplugged all USB devices, ect.
 I'm stuck, and open to ideas. Thanks guys.

Re: Open MDD DVD tray

[Chance Reecher]

If that doesn't work, I know my MDD has the paperclip hole on its 
optical drive, so you could try manually opening the drive that way.

Hello,

You could try pressing the button in the upper right of your keyboard 
- it has a triangle with a bar below.


If you have Toast just click on Eject under Recorder in the menu bar.

If you can already start it, you can hold down the mouse button while  
it starts up (from b4 u turn it on), and the tray will open.

Re: Apple Ram/warranty question

[Mark Sokolovsky]

Apple warranties do run out of your Applecare tuns out. If you need a
lifetime RAM warranty, go to www.otherworldcomputing.com and buy your RAM
there. Thy will replace it when it breaks, and they can automatically
replace it if it came broken when shipped. Even if it's 2080, or 2977, or
even a million years in the future, you will get it replaced.

Re: OFF-LIST: I can't format this new hard drive???

[Mark Sokolovsky]

Try this. In the installation, don't click on anything. just click the first
continue button, and then hit the utilities menu. On that menu, find Disk
utility and open that. On the panel to the left side, you should see a list
of devices such as your DVD drive, CD drive, and your Hard drive. Click on
your Hard Drive, and on the Erase tab. Then for the volume format,click
Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and click erase. Once it is done erasing, exit
disk utilities and then it should go back to the installer. Once the
installer starts again, make your way through the license agreement and the
barrage of continue buttons, you should find your HDD on the installer.

Re: installing a printer on an iMac G5

 I have been trying to install an inkjet printer on my wife's iMac G5.
 I have tried installing 3 different printers (Lexmark X75, HP8050
 Canon MX300).  All installations end up the same way:  the iMac can't
 find a driver to use with the newly installed printer even after I
 have downloaded the latest drivers from the manufacturer's websites,
 and followed all onscreen prompts

Since all three printers have drivers for 10.4 and work on other Macs
it seems as if the problem is in the iMac G5. After you install the
drivers you should be able to find them manually in System\Library
\Extensions or in Library\Printers.  Things to try include
1) a different USB port
2) a different USB cable
3) repairing permissions, then shutdown and start up with a printer
attached and turned on
4) use a utility program like Xupport to force optimization, then a
restart will be required

Question about Tiger DVD Install Disc???

[Richard Gerome]

   I am wondering if these retail install disc's are licensed like Window's 
are??? Is there a limit to how many times you can use them??? I'm asking this 
question because a while back I had a Jaguar disc go bad and I wasn't sure how 
many times I used it, so when I got a new one I made about 6 copies of it just 
in case... Thanks!!!

Re: OFF-LIST: I can't format this new hard drive???

[Mark Sokolovsky]

Your welcome. Here's a tip. If the Mac doesn't start for a simple, fixable
reason... When in doubt, press Command+option+P+R. you will hear another
Bong noise, and the computer should start up. The screen resolution will
temporarily be at 640X480 until the logon screen. After that, even if you
restart, everything will be back to normal. This works for me when i install
something new and my Mac doesn't startup. Also, if you fixed so many
clamshells back in the day, why didn't you know about my technique? Maybe
either you got lucky that all of their hard drives worked, or maybe you
forgot...

Hey Mark, All the HD's were used ones out of the Clamshells I bought to fix (I just cleaned them and did reinstall) I only bought one new one but I just found out it was a reconditioned HD and it has an Apple logo down in the left corner (this one didn't have the logo)... I did forget about the "Utilities" on the menu bar after you put the install disc in and click to the first step, I didn't put 22 together about that... I got so lost looking for the HD to click on instead... Thanks for the tip on "Command+option+P+R" I will remember that for the future!!! Rich-Original Message-

Re: Open MDD DVD tray

   Just for curiosity try holding down the F12 key and the return/enter key at 
the same time and see if it opens that way, that's what I have to do on one of 
my Clamshells to open the CD drawer it's the only one without a DVD drive... I 
don't know why this is??? It won't open with just the F12... Figured this out 
one day by mistake... I'm thinking your button (not the paperclip button) on
