Re: Need help with Terminal

[Peter Sealy]

Your friend needs Disk Warrior 303 for 10.4.7. It is a free upgrade  
from Alsoft's site. I would then run DW and I guess that will fix the  
problem.

It's a bit late now BUT there is a lot of info that says Tech Tool is a 
Disaster for OSX,

lots of people are sorry they ever heard of it .

Sorry , can't help with Terminal .

AND  you need the RIGHT version of Disk Warrior ,
but as it's a G4/867 which will boot off OS9.2.2
you might find that a correct OS9 version of  DIsk Warrior
can help with your OSX volume .
but only if your OS9 can be started on a different Volume .

It's an excellent reason to have a separate volume for OS9

Tried Apple Disk utility and Disk Warrior 3.0.1. The disk shows up
under Disk Utility and Warrior but will not mount and Disk Utility
gives: Invalid B-tree Node size. Any of you using Apple OSX 10.4 know a
way to get in to the disk in Terminal mode? For you windows experts OSX
is a Unix Kernel. I need to copy off some files then can reformat the 
disk."


If anyone can help, send the reply to me and I will forward it.

Hi Kevin

Glad it's working, sorry to hear it lost the email.
One thing you could try, if it's created the new account in a different
"Reference name" you could aim to import the old email.

To check this, have a look at the following from within the Finder:-
Users//Library/Mail

In there, there may be a couple of folders, normally (From memory)
referenced via the account names given within mail. If there are two, then
you may still be able to import it and save it.

What you're best to do, is make a copy of that whole Mail folder before you
try anything. Always a good idea, then if worse happens (which is of all
ready has I suppose) then you can at least go back to it, or know that it's
there.

If you've got what looks like two accounts, then go back into Mail and from
within the new account see if you can "Import" the other account. You can
navigate your way through to that folder and ask it to import "Mail"
mailboxes. This should then hopefully bring it back in.

I hope that makes sense. Some things are easy to do but trying to put them
into a logical order to follow isn't always as easy as it seems.
(Especially when you're working from memory) ;o)

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Making a new account worked.  Unfortunately she lost her inbox with a 
heap of unsaved mail, some of which was quite important, but that 
can't be helped.

Thanks for all your help
Kev

Make a new account in Mail with the requisite preferences  ... don't 
just copy the old ones .


If that does not work ,

Crate a new User in the Mac and setup a Mail account in that .

One way or the other ... you will get there !

If Ronda's suggestion does not do it :

Make a new account in Mail with the requisite preferences  ... don't 
just copy the old ones .


If that does not work ,

Crate a new User in the Mac and setup a Mail account in that .

Hi Yvonne

You need to "log in" to the Laser printer and there are some settings there
you can change. One of them is turning on and off that header page.
It was an OS9 Utility called Apple Printer Utility, if my memory serves me
correctly. ;o)

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards

Hi Kevin,

Is your wife using OSX10.4.7?

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result  
of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to  
mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". The problem can usually be fixed  
by going to System Preferences > Network and disabling the SOCKS  
Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet,  
if it's enabled.


 I don't know whether this would be an acceptable solution in your  
case, though.


Cheers,
Ronni
