Fwd: ftp problems
Did this get through?? I'm having troubles using ftp to upload my files to websites. I thought it was just Dreamweaver, but I downloaded Fetch (BTW did you know that is free if you're a student or teacher?) and the same thing happens. I put or synchronize/mirror files, some upload fine, for others the date/time changes and the files are stripped (0kb) When you try to synchronize again , message says already synchronized. What's worse, files that have not changed are made to go to 0kb too! The Fetch troubleshooting site says Norton Personal Security might cause problems and to move it from the Startup folder. I did that... still no go. Do I need to delete it? I'm going crazy...I have 4 websites, 2 personal and 2 volunteer for organizations, so that's a lot of changes etc. I'm running mac 10.2.6 on my flat panel 700mhz G4imac with Dreamweaver MX 6.1 or Fetch 4.0.3 Rosemary Horton
my mac is very slow
I sent this the first time with the wrong email address. Help please Rosemary I think my mac, or bits of it is sick. takes forever to boot up, The mouse only works if I keep unplugging it, the system seems slow and things just stop in the middle.. As a complete novice in macs, can someone explain whether I should use single user,or fsck or Disk Utility if so ... how?? Rosemary
Disk Copy 6.4 images 2Gb
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a copy of a file called Cleanup for ASR that works with Apple's Disk Copy 6.4. ( I have 6.4 but the only copy of the Cleanup file I can find continually downloads as corrupt). I wish to make a disk image greater than 2 Gb to restore over our network with Apple Software Restore. Up until now I've ditched stuff to make the image smaller than 2 Gb and used Disk Copy 6.3.3 and it works well. Has anyone had experience with 6.4, as in making the image it breaks it in to 2 parts which can be mounted but are not recognised when scanning for ASR. Have tried making the image with OS X (10.2.6) but again 6.4 can mount the image but not prepare it for ASR. I can use 6.4 to clone the image but this means taking a firewire device to each machine, booting from it and running the cloning process . Takes too long for 60+ machines plus only half of them have Firewire. We use OS 10.2 Server with all OS 9.2.2 clients most of which don't have enough memory to go to OS X so using OS X with Carbon Copy Cloner is not an option at this stage. Thanks in Advance pmarty Peter Martinson IT Eaton Primary School Bunbury WA PS Look after your Server install disk like gold because if you damage it or lose it Apple insist (as of yesterday) that you pay the full $1200 (EDU price) to get a replacement CD even though you own an unlimited licence. I've already started at looking for an alternative platform. UNIX ?
opening files in preview
Hello All, I am new to this kind of stuff so bear with me. Can anyone let me know how I change my preferences so that my files and documents open in PREVIEW not ACROBAT READER as I find this to be better for me. Is there anyone who does any tutoring ? I have MAC OS 10.1.2 it is great, but I still want to learn how to use all the programs Cheers, Bridget

Select Get Info from the File menu (or command + I). Go to the tab Open with: select Preview from the list and hit the button Change All.. All PDFs (acrobat files) will now open with Preview.

Running a script on startup
Hi, I would like to know where in OSX (10.2.6) one would place a script to run on startup. I tried to look for something along the lines of /etc/rc2.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d etc as found in most flavours of UNIX. Some pointers would be greatly appreciated. Regards Trevor Lee

Re: Running a script on startup
Trevor I would imagine you would be able to start a script at startup by dragging it into your Login items within the System Preference.

Quick question...
Hi All, A quickie.. Does OSX take care of the memory allocations of apps running in classic, or does this still have to be done manually (I know I can, I just wonder whether I need to?) TIA Stewart
Re: Mac OS X OpenOffice
Thanks to all for your comments about OpenOffice. Certainly got a cross section of views which is what it is all about. Considering the it is going to take up nearly a gig of my hard drive and that I have MS Office on my PC, I will continue dragging files through the little network I have. If I did not have the PC with Office there is no doubt I would have given it a try. Well, I know where to come for an opinion next time I'm thinking of getting a new program. Thanks againDave
Re: Running a script on startup
This would only run it at loggin - some programs you want/need to run before even the login prompt appears maybe: var/run/StartupItems?

Re: Quick question...
change classic apps memory the same way as in days of old... get info, memory, change it OSX only manages the memory that it gives to classic as a whole classic and it's apps have to fight it out within that allocation (well that's the simplified basics of it) Hi All, A quickie.. Does OSX take care of the memory allocations of apps running in classic, or does this still have to be done manually (I know I can, I just wonder whether I need to?)

Imac 350
I have made an offer on above machine required by a friend. The owner claims the date and time display in menu bar is unpredictable, being due to the need for a replacement battery Owner claims this to be a $10 part and is easy to instal I have used Macs since the original LISA and am unfamiliar with this battery issue Are the above claims correct and is the issue a minor one?

15 LCD iMac box needed urgently
Hi, does anyone have the box and foam innards for a 15 (or 17) LCD iMac? I urgently need to ship one and am having difficulty finding a box - resellers don't tend to have spares nor does the Perth Apple office. Cheers, Matt

Well, the above claims could be correct given the symptoms described, in which case you need to replace the battery, involving some delving into the innards of the machine.
