Switching wireless networks
For the longest time, the wireless network connects automagically with network A. But recently after connecting to network B, it won't automagically connect to Network A any more, but does network B. Network A is WPA and network B is WPA2 Enterprise. When on network A, I've gone to network preferences and dragged network A to the top, but that does not fix anything. Any ideas?

File and image server
I'm looking for suggestions and what I want to do is be able to serve images and music from a machine on the lan. Clients on the lan will be other macs. I would like the images to either be served as thumbnails or full images to the clients. The music, when played from the application sought, play from the speakers on the client machines. Freeware is ideal, but she can pay for a good app as well. Thanks a lot.

Re: Fresh out of ideas on .dmg mounts
Try booting into Safe Mode (shift key held down). Login and see if it works then. Then reboot normally. While in Safe Mode I was able to mount and install VLC. Once I restarted normally, I was unable to mount the same VLC. Seems as though we reverted to the same problem. Try creating a new user account. I created another admin account and was not able to mount any of the .dmgs. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- 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.

Re: Fresh out of ideas on .dmg mounts
I'm going to go with some issue with the user account, (in which case logging in as a different user will fix it) or something messed up that a safe boot will fix. You're on the right track with the Safe Boot. As per previous post, just a few minutes ago, I was able to install vlc while in Safe Boot. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- 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.

Here is the solution: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080127213553144 I have tried this solution by burning the image onto a disk and installing from there, as suggested from another link from macosxhints, since .dmgs are not mounting. Anyway, once I burned Security Update 2005-009 ( Tiger Client) from this link:http:// support.apple.com/downloads/#security%20update%20tiger, it won't install. All the partitions had red rain-drop arrows on them. II'm not sure if I'm suppose to uninstall previous updates. If so, could someone please say I how I do this. Thanks everyone, so far. Dan, what plist file do you think would need to be cared for, deleted or whatnot?
