Re: Firewall ports?
Thanks for straightening me out on the maximum number of devices on a single fire wire port. I knew it was more than what you could do with USB, but couldn't remember the exact number. Fire wire actually has intelligence built in to it, at least I think so, especially if it's able to communicate to other devices without the use of a computer. It is also more efficient than USB as well when it comes to the actual transfer speeds. And with Fire wire 800, it's even faster than USB 2.0. In a message dated 2/3/2009 11:20:56 A.M.

Re: Safari Panic
Dan It wasn't a normal panic. Not the dark box with 'you need to restart your Mac' written in lots of languages. It was similar to the text when you start up in verbose mode. Simon --- If it took the whole OS down, it was a kernal panic. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: thumb drives (jump drives)
What OS are you running Michael. If it's OS9 than that could be your problem.

I got one version of the cruzer with a backup software site that was PC only at one point. 5 minutes on SanDisk's website and it was fixed. Wow. Guess the pissed-off Mac users finally got through to them. Their U3 removal software originally did not run under 10.5, and at one point they were saying they were not going to upgrade it to do so. read through that thread on their web site http://tinyurl.com/apb9nm Also, contrary to may people's syatements in that thread, the only issue was NOT that an extra CD icon would appear. If you tried to reformat or re-partition the device using Disk Utility, you could brick it. I have several of them, and they work fine, but I was pissed that I had to find a friggin' PC to get their pre-installed crap off the things. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

With Disk Utility running where you can see the flash drive, use Help in the top menu bar. Enter something like format drive. That should give you all the information you need to proceed. I am using OS X 10.5.2 Leopard, but I believe the older versions give the same info. Look for the page Erasing a hard disk or volume. That process will work for the flash drive. Go for the Mac OS Extended option. With a flash drive, you will not likely gain advantage from the Journaled option.
