Hi guys ~ I have a Quicksilver G4 733mhz with 1 gig RAM running OS 10.4.11.
It stopped sleeping again so I decided to do an archive and install - goes back to 10.4.? When it was done I tried to run the 10.4.11 combo update, but this messed things up rather badly, computer would not even boot. In retrospect, I think it gagged on newer versions of things. Did not seem to even want to start up on the OS DVD. Tried Restart + C and Restart + Option, no go. So ... put a paper clip in the DVD drive, got disk out, put disk in again and with option did get it to start up on the DVD. Went thru install process again, but it did not give me an option to archive and install, so I just went ahead as I have whole user folder on an external HD. This is a pain - off to buy a bootable external soon. Several FYIs and glitches. Apple Mail wants me to set it up again, but doesn't provide me with the appropriate fields. First it wants to know a POP or IMAP account, and my email is DHCP, so there's no putting I.P. numbers in the fields. I did go to Sys Pref and inputted things there, but Mail doesn't get that input. So this is webmail, tee hee. Other curious thing - wondered if I'd have permissions probs on moving files back over from the external, but apparently not. It did leave programs untouched, and they mostly seem to work. I think it partly archived and installed, which could leave me with curious adventures down the road. Thanks for any insights, etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
