Using Sony Clie With Mac

I am using a Sony Clie TG50 and syncing it everyday with the Palm Desktop 4.1 and iSync 1.1 through USB as well as Bluetooth under OSX 10.2.8. I do not have Missing Sync. Ever since upgrading from Palm Desktop 4.0 to 4.1, syncing has been possible. Naturally, the PC-based utilities that come with the […]


Samsung SM-332B Combo DVD/ CDRW Drive

OS X 10.2/iTunes3 Support file for Samsung SM-332B Combo DVD/CDRW Drive is here. I have installed a Samsung 332b DVD/ CDRW Drive (in G4/AGP). I just figured it out that if I modified the Plugin file, it would work. I have successfully modified the file. Now the Samsung 332b combo drive is now fully recognized. […]


Maxtor Drive Wake-Up Issue

I too have been having drive wake-up problem for about year, though not the beeping issue. It started when I added a slave Maxtor drive to my digital audio Mac with a built-in Maxtor drive. As far as I could tell, the slave drive was often refusing to wake up, occasionally causing corruption problems. Not […]


FSCK

You actually do not need to ‘reboot’ into single user mode to use fsck. Quit all programs other than Finder and Terminal. In terminal, go into su (superuser) mode. Type ‘shutdown now’ without quotes. That’ll kick you into single user mode. At the prompt, type fsck -y. Once done, type exit. ©2002 EthnoSync.com. All Rights […]


Clock Issues With OS X 10.1

NTP not working, and I can not even force an “update now”. It does, however, correctly talk to NTP at power up ONLY. Numerous calls to Apple resulted in no answer. I have, however, identified that the clock does work properly in my QuickSilver when booted into OS 9.2.1 without NTP. So, there is something […]


Umax, And Unicode Charaters In Terminal

I have been reading complaints about Umax. I share the same frustrations. However, Umax 2100U now works in classic under 10.1. I am using Vistascan 3.7.5. Apple apparently has made a change to their USB software with 10.1, which now sees the scanner and passes on this information to the Classic. On another note, In […]


$19.95 Mac-OS-Up-To-Date Package

I ordered the 10.1 upgrade package within the first hour of availability last week by sending a fax to the South Bend, IN, order desk. I live 30 miles away from South Bend. The package showed up this afternoon shipped via ground. There is not a whole lot there on top of the free upgrade […]


Novell Access Beta For OS X

I recently asked […] Novell about the status of OS X access to Novell servers [and was told to] “download the beta at http://beta.novell.com/public.jsp. We should be shipping this within the next month.” Looking at their site, I see a file that has a read me that claims: 2.0 Novell Native File Access for Macintosh ——————————————————- […]


Retrospect and Novell Client Conflict

Novell NetWare Client for Mac OS 5.11 can cause Retrospect 4.0 to crash. When you log in to a Novell server while Retrospect is running, Retrospect crashes with a Type 2 error. Retrospect can successfully be launched before logging into a NetWare server, or after logging off. However, if you subsequently log into NetWare, Retrospect […]
