Restrospect

Well, reinstall did the trick, and seemed to take care of a few other random crashes taht were occurring other programs too. Thanks for the advice - in retrospect, I don't know why I didn't think of this to begin with.... Brian

I am trying to get my 3 macs (mini w/tiger 10.4.2, powerbook w/panther 10.3.9, iMac w/panther 10.3.9) to talk to each other over airport express (updated to 4.2) (WPA 2). I can get the mini to connect to the iMac, and I can get the Powerbook to connect to the iMac but I can not get the powerbook to connect to the mini. I have attempted to use the ip address and the .local...

I check for software updates about twice a week. A few days ago (last weekend, I think), I got a list of a few software updates. I noticed that they were all checked except the AirPort update. Each time I check for updates, everything that shows in the list is usually automatically checked (the little box next to it) for installation. Anyway, I clicked on the AirPort update...

BorneoBound's strategy is exactly what I used to do... until I found that Retrospect does NOT work in Tiger. ...

INMHO your backup strategy depends on the value you place on the data and how fast it changes. For myself, it would cost more to replace the data on my computer than the computer itself. I use Dantz Retrospect to back up to 2 external drives (one connected to the computer, the other stored at a different location). Retrospect automatically performs an incremental backup...

Even with incremental backups that would be impractical. I used to use Dantz Retrospect but now use Chronosync. I back up to an external hd and burn a dvd containing important documents once a week. Not foolproof but the best I can do. ...

In retrospect, Jaguar, for me was when OSX matured to a point of a real solid, stable OS. One could argue that Tiger may have been introduced to early, and makes selling it difficult, because Jag is a great OS. Some one mentioned Java problems under JAG. Tiger, I have not had any of the difficulties with Java. Spotlight is awesome, smart-folders and mail alone would make me...

i have also discovered this info (though it is a little dated now) So I've been plugging and unplugging these devices constantly. I this period, the FW bus on my G4 has died twice. Since the ports are on the logic board, this is a $1200 repair (under warranty, thankfully). After the last one, I asked the tech about hot plugging. Suffice to say, what he told me has meant I...

changed. Bobw suggested it and I find that it fits my needs perfectly. I had a copy of Retrospect but it was overkill. ...

Not sure quite how to get round the problem that each disk image will have the same name so retrospect MAY not be happy to overwrite without my OKing it.... ...
