FF vs iCab
Interesting...when I tried to use iCab to login to pepsistuff.com it said I needed to upgrade my flash to version 8 yet when I then tried FF 2.0.0.18 it worked fine. Why would one browser say I didn't have new enough flash yet another works fine?

Re: G5 Dual 1.8Ghz video questions

Re: would a new ipod touch work on os 10.3.9?
Sorry, but the reason that won't work is that the iPod you want to sync is only supported on certain versions of iTunes, and Apple doesn't allow those newer versions to run on 10.3 because that'd be too much effort to backport. I suggest that you either just give up and run it on Windows or that you head to versiontracker.com and find another app that runs on 10.3 and will sync the touch (doesn't seem likely, but whatever). 2008/11/13 vacputer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: this is a copy of my question originally posted on the imac list.

If you need access via Finder you can create a symbolic link to the /var, /etc, /tmp, and others and put the links on the root, /, Finder will then let you in because it treats the links the same as it would an alias. ln -s /private/etc /_etc ln -s /private/var /_var for instance.

I called the previous owner, whose name stilla ppears on the box, but he could not remember what to enter. He made a couple of suggestions, but neither works. Is there some way to get inside to reset or bypass the password? If you insert the install CD/DVD containing the OS into the optical drive, then start up your mac while holding down the C key, your mac will start up from the install disk and you can install the new OS without the password.

How do I access Mailboxes?
On my G3, I dutifully add mailboxes to keep my messages in order, but apart from the In, Out, Trash Drafts, and Sent, I can't find the mailboxes. Those five are available by using the top bar and clicking show from the drop-down. The Mailboxes icon alongside the Get Mail icon does nothing at all. I'm sure I have tried every link, icon, etc. without success. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
