Re: AppleCare's TechTool Deluxe NFG

OSX on a Kanga partition?

Any advice please: I want to try to install OSX onto my Kanga powerbook using XPostFacto. I have a 20 gb hard drive partitioned into 2. Now I have OS 9.1 and 9.2 each on a partition. I have an OSX 10.1 CD and a 10.2, but the instructions say that if OSX is installed on an older powerbook with a

Re: strategy for repartitioning drive

John, A few thoughts. First of all, you have OS 9 on this machine, why not use SCSI disk mode? This would allow you to make your powerbook into a large external hard drive from which you could then back your stuff off. (really bad grammar there...) The do require a special SCSI adapter - a

That's what I was afraid of. So now I'm wondering how to get all this stuff off my wallstreet. The logical thing would be to create a folder on my ibook and then copy everything via ethernet. Boy is that going to take a while via 10T ethernet or wireless ethernet. Can I copy the startup par

Saving the Wall Street

I had somewhat similar problems (but only on shutdown) when I upgraded my G3/250 WS running OS 8.1 to G4/500 (Sonnet upgrade card, upgrading to 9.1 at the same time). It took about eight months (!) to diagnose the problem (with the help of a Mac expert via e-mail). It seems to have

Al: Yup, without question you are correct. However, like all insurance, the point is to spread the liability out amongst the whole population of subscribers. Thus, if my computer chokes and it's going to cost $1,000 to repair, I've made out by paying $350 for three years of AppleCare. If my co

Hi Dan- Thanks for the info! Wow. I'm amazed by that info. Makes me love and respect Apple even more. Even though taking apart that TiBook made me curse it's very existence ;) I came across some instructions my good friend gave me and they recommend using Loc-Tite; which I used to used when I wor

Re: Can this Wallstreet be saved?

Anne, Are you running OS X or OS 8/9? If 8/9 your problem may be software. 8/9 was never that stable. Install OS X and see if the problem goes away. If you are tied to 8/9, I suggest you do a clean install of the operating system. Paul On Mar 2, 2004, at 6:31 AM, Anne Judge wrote: My Wallst

Could be a faulty keyboard. Not sure if you can start without keyboard, haven't tried it myself, and don't have my wallstreet with me to try right now. Keyboard is easy to disconnect. Doesn't cost anything to try. Matt On Tuesday, March 2, 2004, at 09:31 AM, Anne Judge wrote: Is there any

My Wallstreet (266 MHz upgraded to 466 with the PowerLogix BlueChip card) constantly freezes. Usually it just freezes - no response to any key or mouse, so I have to force-restart. Every once in a while it puts up an error "restart" box, or at least starts to draw one. These aren't consistent

Mark, A quick question: do you want one partition devoted solely to Users? I mean, are you seeking to get a "Users" volume mounted on the desktop like "Macintosh HD" or whatever your boot volume is named? I'm assuming that you do. You need to use /etc/fstab which became support in Jag. Sh

You should create an appropriate "Location". Open Network Preferences, create a new location, say "Wireless", and in this location leave only Airport as an active network port. This way your mac will not try to use the internal modem; and keeping a separate location which does use the modem wi
