File Sharing Problem
Hi All I am having huge problems with file sharing on a G4 500DP, running OS 9.2.2, 512MB RAM, 40GB HD, partitioned into 3 drives...10GB System drive, 10GB, 20GB. After startup, but before file sharing starts up, the message ³The application File Sharing has unexpectedly quit because an error 29 has occurred² Soon after that, either the Finder ³unexpectedly quits² or the machine freezes all together. I have tried searching the archives to no avail, I have deleted file sharing prefs, rebuilt the desktop on all 3 partitions, zapped the PRAM, increased file sharing control panel¹s memory allocation. I have officially run out of ideas, and it is one of 2 workstations we have that are both desperately required. Any help, ideas, URL¹s, fixes, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Quick hard drive question
Hi All! Here is a curly question for you all. Is it possible that if a machine is hooked into ADSL, it can be hacked and the drive initialised? Yes. We have a customer that is hooked into ADSL. He says that while he was online, the machine crashed with a type 1 error. When he tried to reboot, a flashing question mark appeared. He brought the machine into the store. After booting off a Diskwarrior CD, we noticed that the drive had now been called 'Untitled' and was empty. Does this sound at all possible? Yes, that's possible. The leap from that to 'someone broke in and hacked my machine' is somewhat nebulous though.

Installation Issues with indesign 2.0
Hello All: I am having a weird experience with installing Indesign 2.0 for OSX and I am wondering if anyone has managed to accomplish this feat. First, I am running 10.1.4 on a G4 T-powerbook. I am logged in as administrator. Usually, when you install something, the installer prompts you to enter in your admin password before it launches into the install. This was the case in Adobe and other products. However with my copy of Indesign 2.0 (which is for OSX), it doesn't ask me this--instead it goes about the business of installing just as it would under OS9. Of course, during the install process I get an access denied error message, and when i click OK it tells me I don't have permissions to install this. I have been on the phone with Apple and Adobe this morning, and neither have a solution. We have tried the following work arounds (without success): 1. Log in a root user. Believe it or not, when I do this and attempt to install, the installer won't even run--claiming I need to be logged in as administrator to have the right permissions to install the program (!!??!!). 2. Create a new admin user, and try to install using their account. I had the same errors. 3. Custom install of product (as opposed to easy install). Resulted in same error. 4. Installing under OS9. Product installed, but then was unsuable due to missing files when attempting to use the application in OSX. 5. Restart the computer. Wish it to work. Log back in. Resulted in same error. (Not wishing hard enough?) So I call out for suggestions, workarounds, comments? Particularly form those who have this installed. Apple and Adobe asked me to contact them tomorrow and report any progress to them for their systems help. Thanks in advance Nathalie

Auslinx Little Devil Mac Drivers HELP?!

FW: Redraw probs
-- From: Paul Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 02 May 2002 07:51:43 +0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Redraw probs I suppose you have defragmented your hard disk using Norton's or similar? Regards, Paul Hi there Yep. Disk Warrior, Nortons, TechTool Pro (very nice and thorough program) all to no avail. I posted a message on the Apple Discussions page and received this little bit of info. I will pass it on as so far it seems to be working; Hi, John - Sluggishness - in OS 9.2.x, there is often an interference between the Apple CD/DVD Driver extension and the Iomega Driver extension which causes that problem. The test for this - insert a zip disk in the drive; if the sluggishness disappears, you have this interference problem. Solutions - If you never use the zip drive, disable the Iomega extension. If you sometimes but rarely use it, just leave a zip disk in the drive. Usual long-term solution - downgrade the Apple CD/DVD Driver extension to a version earlier than 1.4.5, such as 1.4.4, 1.4.3, or 1.4. You can download those here - http://homepage.mac.com/macdgm/ - at the bottom of the page. Another possibility: if you've updated QuickTime in recent months, you probably now have version 5.0.5; that version adds a new file, which can cause that kind of problem. Look in the QuickTime Extensions folder (it's a separate folder in the Extensions folder) - if you find a file there named QuickTime JPEG Update, try removing it and restarting. So I will wait a few days to see how it all pans out. Thanks again everyone for all your help and suggestions. Wamug really is a great service and it is nice to know there is this wealth of experience and willingness to help. Regards Jon

Re: Rant (and Raving)
Hi All, I actually have never had a problem with Random Access. I just have to ring them up and they post out my stuff and I receive invoices later, if something goes wrong they always compensate me and they are always willing to discount me when I question their prices or I find it cheaper elsewhere. They know I have a GMac Card and they always discount it by a further 10% or more. Maybe they feel sorry for me because I am blonde and feel I need all this stuff to keep myself occupied during the day. It does make you wonder how it all works as I had to ring up for software today and Random was actually $100.00 cheaper than another Apple store which shall remain nameless? Be Good Karen

How to fake a monitor...
Hello all, I have just acquired a G4 and want to use an external monitor only. However, the G4 will only start if there us a monitor plugged into the build-in card. Even if that monitor is not turned on, it will work fine. I recall reading somewhere that you can jumper some of the pins on the DB-15 connector to fool the machine into thinking there is a monitor present. I don't want to have an ancient, low res monitor sitting there just so I can use my nice Silicon Graphics solid state screen, so any ideas where i might find that info will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Paul
Primus v Telstra ADSL
I'd be grateful for anyone's thoughts/experiences on any significant differences between Primus Telstra's ADSL service please. I'm currently a Primus dial up user, thinking of upgrading to ADSL. Don't really have a problem with Primus unless I have to contact them - they don't respond to email inquiries, and phoning them means at least a half hour wait. I've sent off about 3 email requests for someone to contact me about ADSL sign-up, and made one phone call, all over the past 6 months or so - I'm still waiting. Does the ADSL software chew up much additional RAM? I'm using an iMac Special Edition with 128Mb of RAM, and will probably upgrade to a new iMac when Apple release the next round of updated models. Telstra's ADSL plans seem to be a bit cheaper if you pre-select them, a bit more expensive than Primus if you don't. I'm contemplating the 512/128 1Gb plan (Telstra or Primus), or the 1.5Mb/256kb 1Gb plan with Primus (Telstra only provide the 1.5Mb/256kb speed starting at 5Mb download limit and $240pm - don't want to pay that much). Is price the only measure to consider? Are there any other (better) ADSL providers out there? I'm in Brisbane for now. Thanks...Steven

Re: PowerBook G4 Update.. is now official
Hi WAMUGGERS, Mark, I've been doing a bit of work on these sorts of units for some primary school music teachers and there are a lot of options in these external USB AD/DA interfaces. These are needed as the teachers have laptops not desktops. The ones we want need to have both MIDI and audio connectivity both hi and lo Z inputs and some aux input and connectivity to USB. The upshot is that the tascam, yamaha, roland edirol ua3 (and others), midiman , m-audio quattro, aardvark, digidesign mbox (recently featured on Apple's website!) all do the job. One big difference is the quality of the software for sequencing/recording and then mixing down to audio. Some come with nothing and don't work with much either (not even Steinberg Cubase VST or EMagic Logic Audio - go figure). The Tascam units come with Cubasis that does 8 audio tracks and 48 midi and seems a good value - this is $200 software. I like the US-428 unit with 8 sliders that link directly to software mixers and let you have 16 banks of 8 slides - with presets and DSP built-in - sweet! It's the one I'd buy - but it isn't cheap. http://www.tascam.com/products/us428/index.php http://www.tascam.com/products/computer_recording/us224/index.php These are great for small mixing/recording needs and ideal for beginners getting into recording. Creative have a great but PC-only softwarewise (at this time) unit called the Extigy which is good for the home hobbyist who wants it all - a bit of recording, amplification, surround-sound for gaming etc. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/extigy/ I'd love to get my hands on one of these and see how well it works with macs - it's far cheaper than many alternatives and has some unique features. petersw Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
