Sorry about the spelling ... not one of my strong points. As for the rest, I'm lapping up any optimism on this issue with the same degree of zeal exibited by a man whose hair is on fire, seeking out a pond ...to paraphrase Joseph Campbell.

Ok, Mavins ...


From one of the Jews on the list, I think that's "Maven's," but we get your drift.





I just opened up the HD on my old computer and was looking around. I Checked the Pref. Folder in Library, and found it was empty. Would this be expected after I transfered info via FireWire the other day?

P.S. When Karen suggested my "kernal" problem may well have been caused by external devices, I did in fact update my Printer Driver, checked with Edriol's site the see if there was an update for my MIDI (UM 1), which apparently there is not, and unplugged my Zip drive. After checking the Iomega site for Driver updates, I couldn't determine if an update to the 1.0 version I was running on the old computer was still good or not. Tiger may not even support the Zip 100 I was running,


Probably not.



I don't know and can't tell from the site. So, it remains disconnected. The only other external device I was using was an old set of Apple external speakers I had plugged into the Audio Output Port ... could that be a prob?


I doubt it.



I also had my UM -1 MIDI coming in via a bus, which I changed to a direct connection via a USB port on the back of the new G5.


That usually works smoothly and is easy to configure in OS X.


I think that about sums up what I've done in preparation for my talk with MM Tech tomorrow. Oh, yeah, I just checked the Application Support Folder>MM Folder, which I opened. The only thing in there right now is the Fin PA Folder.

Again, my computer seems to be functioning totally normally at the moment, but I haven't yet given up the dream of running 2006 yet.


I'm sure you'll get there. I think the problems are a result of the big hardware upgrade and the transfer process. Frustrating as it is, these things seem to get resolved eventually. So many are successfully running 2006 on G5s that it surely can be done on yours.
