Re: DiskWarrior 3.0.3 & Kernel Panic on New G4 PowerBook

Hello People,

I've used my DiskWarrior 3.0.3 CD on my G4 iBook OSX10.4.3 many  
times with no problems.


Today I decided to try it on my New G4 PowerBook OSX10.4.3 . The  
Disk mounts on the desktop,
but when I ReBoot & hold down 'C' key to start from the  
disk .. yikes . Kernel Panic .. which in turn  
causes Ronni Panic !!!


Why doesn't it work the same as on my G4 iBook?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers,

Ronni


Replying to my own email, from what I can find out, it seems that:
Quote:
"In most cases, older DiskWarrior 3 CDs cannot start up newer machines
because they do not have the necessary System files. To start up the
newest PowerBook models released at the end of October 2005, you need a
DiskWarrior CD with a more current operating system.

An Update CD (revision 39) with the latest startup System (Mac OS X
10.4.x "Tiger") and DiskWarrior 3.0.3 is available for order by calling
our Sales Department at 800-257-6381 (US Toll Free) or at 281-353-4090
(International). The cost for the Update CD is US$12.95 plus US$7.95
shipping & handling fees.

Finally, if you purchased DiskWarrior within the last 30 days, we will
send you an updated CD for the price of shipping."

Seems odd to me that they are offering free upgrade software to  
people with older versions of DW (ie. pre-3.0.3) But if you are   
people who bought 3.0.3 specifically to work with Tiger, then bought  
a new Mac and found that DW no longer worked with Tiger - you have to  
pay for a replacement."

End of Quote:

Has anyone with a New PowerBook managed to startup from their  
DiskWarrior 3.0.3 CD?

Ronni

so this leads to a further question.

If I trash files, how do a remove them from the disk  with the Finder


With 10.3.9 it's just the normal   Finder -> empty trash

The trick is to Empty Trash before ejecting the USB drive ,
otherwise if you do that, and empty trash after is when i think you get 
into trouble.


Sometimes you can recover situation by rebuilding desktop  ...  
something not normally done in OSX

Google Earth for Mac gone!

It appears that the file has been taken off the download site.  It is a 39

I guess it will return some time in the future.

Very Interesting to have a look around Garden Island too...

Some areas of mapping have been done in high resolution while others
haven't.  Not surprisingly there is good detail in Bagdad City...

Amazing stuff indeed.

Have you emptied the trash with the thumb drive plugged in. When you
delete from the thumb drive it goes into the trash on the thumb drive
itself.

Re: ipod not mounting

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Rosemary,

Sounds like you are not the only person having trouble with this  
since update to 10.4.3 & also iTunes 6.0.1


I would download the 10.4.3 Combo updater and use it to reinstall  
10.4.3 on top of your current Software Update installation.




I would also repair permissions after running the combo.

Cheers,

Ronni

Hi Rosemary,

You could try: Open  disk utility and see if you can mount the  
ipod from there.


I found this in Apple discussions:  trash the extension  
"iPodDriver.kext" and restart your mac. The ipod was then able to  
mount automatically.


This is the location of this extension:

Re: WMV files

Or if you don't want to view them in Yet another Media Player, just  
get the Flip4Mac Quicktime Codecs and all WMV files will play using

Is there some downloadable software that will achieve this?
