Re: Tiger -- what gives?

2005-05-18 Thread Shay Telfer
I downloaded the 10.4.1 update today and installed it on a couple of 
800 Mhz eMacs and 800 Mhz iMacs with on problems, Tried the same on 
an iMac 1Ghz., an eMac 1 Ghz. and iBook 900 Mhz. and it would not 
install because "This volume does not meet the requirements for this 
update", this strikes me as a bit unusual!  Does anyone have an 
idea/explanation why older machines accept the update and more 
recent machines (less that 2 years old) wont? and does this mean 
that updates will be model specific for Tiger?


Are the volumes on the machines that won't work formatted as HFS plus 
(also knows as HFS Extended format)?


Have fun,
Shay

As a new user to Mail I have found an annoying little thing. After

email above the one just deleted.
Is there a way around this. Yes, I know I could read my mail from the 
bottom of the list rather than the top, but I am becoming a  "grumpy 
old man" and want things to work my way.


When I delete a message the next mail down the list is displayed in the 
bottom pane. Mail 1.3.11 (v622) in OS X 10.3.9. If you change the order 
of display in the top pane from earliest to latest then I think that 
will change the direction of displaying the next mail.

The update was downloaded from  http://www.apple.com/support/

vintage (2 eMacs and 6 flat panel iMacs) and were purchased at the

installed under warranty a few months ago. My home machine, a 1 Ghz.  
17" flat panel iMac Super Drive wont accept the update and a friend  
who has a 1 Ghz. eMac tells me that his wont either, The update was  
only downloaded once.

I connected my new powerbook directly to the modem etc no trouble,

Firstly the airport express just blinks orange..never gets to green.

The instructions say go to airport setup and follow the directions.  
But there comes a time to choose the airport and it's not there; or  
something called apple network followed by numbers is there. If I

The airport admin is even more confusing.

I'm lost. This is all new to me.

Anybody got any clues?

Hi Rosemary,

Plug your ADSL Modem Ethernet Cable & USB printer cable into Airport  
Express BEFORE you plug  Airport Express into Power outlet ?

Then wait until the status light glows solid green.

Open Airport Express Assistant and 'Create a New wireless Network'.

It has been reported in the past that some makes of non Apple RAM  
(unsupported) has caused this type of problem. If you have fitted  
additional RAM which was non genuine Apple it would be worth trying  
to do the update installation after removing this RAM. You can add  
the additional RAM back after completing the update.

Re: Disk partitioning

2005-05-18 Thread Shay Telfer

Hi Colin,

There is a disk utility from Techtools (http://www.techtools.com.au/) called
DiskStudio. It claims to create and remove disk partitions on the fly. I
have not used it, may be someone the list have that can make some comments
on the product.

Cheers,
Peder


Well, I wouldn't be using any tool that changes the partition map 
without a full backup first. And I'd be running DiskWarrior after it 
had finished.


Have fun,

They're both using the same physical method for ejecting the CD, so 
there should be no difference.


I'd suspect that trying the dragging to trash will eventually eject 
the CD, it was sheer luck that the File menu option worked.


I'd probably avoid using that CD, as if it gets stuck you'll have to 
pull the machine apart to get it out!

Which brings to mind that somebody else had a CD or DVD jam in a

BECAUSE

an extra label had been placed over the top of the original ..
Obviously it then made the disk too thick.

My guess/deduction is that it is only showing those updates that are 
not currently under heavy download  - I assume (reasonably) that the 
various updates are hosted on various servers  with it's  mirrored 
across several servers so if all the servers hosting 10.4.1 are being 
worked too hard then you may not get to see the update for a while - 
if you are on broadband I'd change the "check for updates" to a daily 
and to download in the background. else just go to the direct 
download link in your browser and collect it form there

Adrian,

I think I remember your first question being that while you had the 
updater

some Macs accepted it and others did Not.

I suggest you check Hard drive driver version and firmware versions and 
compare

what is on the various Macs.

Careful...  they may actually need different Firmware versions.

Fonts in OfficeX

I have been paring down the list of active fonts using Font Book and  
notice that Word from OfficeX still displays every font I have ever

displays the correct set of fonts while Photoshop CS2 shows something  
in between!
In Preferences/Microsoft there is a Font Cache but I can not access  
that.
How can I clean up all these fonts?  With things as they are  
physically deleting fonts does not necessarily remove them from

a funny thing happened !

2005-05-18 Thread bill cole
Hi, running 10.4, G5, 1.8., had 10.4 open, working on some of the  
widgets that come with 10.4( don't know which particular one at the  
time ) all of a sudden a number of applications in the Dock was  
replaced by ? ( a question mark ) ie, mail 2.0, Sherlock 3.6.1,  
iphoto 4.0.3, Balance pro 5.6, Grab 1.3, Epson c65 printer.
To get them back again I had to drag them out of the dock and replace  
them by dragging them from the original application. except the Epson  
printer which did not show up in Spotlight when I did a search for  
it, I had to re-install from the original Epson install disk, all now  
working ok.
I did noticed that when the ? marks appeared Meteorologist 1.4.3 was  
updating in the menu bar, I don't know for sure but I am putting the  
problem down to this possibly conflicting with what I was doing.
I'd be interested if anyone has had a similar thing happen, and was  
Meteorologist the culprit ( I've since stopped using it until this  
can be clarified.)

Thanks
Bill

While waiting for suggestions about airport express I tried to use the 
firewire to transfer stuff from my old imac to brand new powerbook.


Firstly Migration utility didn't like that the user was named the same, 
so asked me to rename incoming user files.

Then it moved all the stuff to a subfolder of my home directory.
1)Do I just drag it to the appropriate usual place?
2) many of the folders are marked red and have 0kb eg Pictures; itunes 
Do I just drag these over individually or is there some reason they 
weren't copied over?



When I have time I'll try the airport suggestions.
