Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
My iPod stopped working again. That is, it worked fine except when I connected it to the Cube, when it locked up, along with iTunes and Finder. So I booted the iPod (by itself, not connected to a computer) into diagnostic mode and ran a disk scan. Then I reconnected the iPod to the Cube without using the dock (as I read somewhere to not use the dock when dealing with this problem). Then it worked again, except that by failing to follow the scientific method I don't know which of the two things I did got it working again.
Then my Cube died again. This time it turned out the power cord had fallen out of the power supply.
My cube's power supply had the same problem.
It's a Flowpoint 2210.
No worky, sorry.
BTW, thanks anyway, Tommyrot.
Mac question. We just got a new G5, running OS X 10.3.8. When I tried to install PageMaker 6.5, I got the following message:
No Classic system folder
You do not have a version of Mac OS 9 installed that supports Classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later.
WTF? Our old G4 came with OS X installed, and it ran Classic apps right out of the box. Do I have to install OS 9 on top of OS X? And if so, where do I get OS 9?
Ah, nebbermind. I found it.
Stoopid hiding it on the Additional Software disk.
The latest version of InDesign has a PageMaker compatability mode, if you want to, you know, upgrade to 1990s software technology.

Does anyone have Hotmail, AND within Hotmail you've set up custom folders? (Like, one for work, one for family, one for mailing lists.)
If yes to both of those -- did all the messages in your custom folders disappear???

No, I don't. I like PageMaker, and it works fine in Classic mode. Why should I fucking buy a new program just for a few extra bells and whistles? It's bad enough I have to deal with an ad agency that only uses Quark.
It's funny because it's true.
Ouch. I swear that if I get my lost e-mails back, I'll save them to my hard drive....and then switch to gmail as my primary account.
