Throwing out old password on G4 iBook running Tiger 10.4.11
I just purchased a used G4 iBook running Tiger 10.4.11 and many of the folders do not give me permission to open them. Folders like System Preferences that has things I need to reset. There is a procedure for blowing away the old password but I'm not sure what it is and I think it required the startup disks, which did not come with the computer. Suggestions?

Re: iPhoto home movies disappear using CCC
I don't know anything about CCC, but last month I had a big hard drive drop dead in my G5 that was full of movies, made by iMovie, Final Cut Express, and Final Cut Pro. But fortunately I have this G5 connected to a 1 TB external hard drive with Time Machine backing up to it, and it saved the day. I put a new hard drive in the G5 and told Time Machine to restore the data from the dead drive to it, and it worked perfectly. Every restored movie launches and runs just fine, and the OS was also restored and boots up without a hitch. After the restore process was done (it took hours) it was as if the original drive had never died; everything was back to normal and works great. Another thing: since Time Machine makes hourly backups, when I'm editing video and really screw something up, all I have to do is enter Time Machine and go back a few hours to get an earlier version of the movie and start over. Very convenient. So I can certainly recommend and endorse Time Machine.

On Nov 15, 4:39 pm, Jim McGee orb...@dslextreme.com wrote: Don't know if this helps http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2216434 There are two parts to that discussion. One is the possibility of setting permissions in OS X so that the drive is read only. But can that be done before the system writes its little files to it? The other part is the fact that a disk drive with the Windows NTFS format will normally be read only on a Mac. NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, and it's not a format you want for a Mac auxiliary drive. Windows identifies the drive I'm working with as FAT32 and not NTFS. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
