Re: uhoh - Security Update 2005-007
No problems here, Ryan. I can copy (move) files on my external firewire drive either internally or to and from my main drive, subsequent to updating. I did notice a note (but didn't read it) about having to disconnect any external drive before updating. Did you do this? I also repaired permissions, before and after updating.

They seem to be caused by copying any file(s) from any partition of my Firewire400 drive to any other partition. The crash reporter lists the same cause though: panic(cpu 0): BlockAllocateContig: allocation overflow on Taliesin Anyone else having problems, or am I playing the Blame-The-Update game by myself this round? :) - Ryan (who is --ing tired of rebooting tonight... )

ISDN rant (was Apple Support Saga)
The MacOS 10.4.2/Telstra NT1 Plus II incompatibility persists. For those that may have forgotten, Telstra's ISDN modem will not connect under OS 10.4.2. The only work-around is to regress to OS 10.4.1, as I have done, or do as Rod Jurich did (WAMUG 28 July) and buy a $200 router. My most recent contact with Telstra left me feeling like I was at fault for having an OS that has been upgraded. While my previous contacts with Telstra technicians have been useful, this last technician (Stuart, I think) was patronising at best -- at worst, he was negative and evasive. According to him it was Apple's responsibility to rectify the situation. He said the problem was that Apple didn't supply the drivers with its upgrade. Sounded like a load of bull to me. There were never any NT1 drivers supplied by Apple. I had to buy them from Telstra and install them myself. Anyway, I thought the primary onus was on the third-party supplier to comply with the OS, rather than the other way around. Please correct me on this, if I'm wrong. In summary: Apple's direct help has been non-existent. They were more interested in selling, as opposed to helping. Telstra's help has become useless. Likewise, they seem more interested in selling, as opposed to supporting. Mac users, in contrast, often provide helpful information. That's why WAMUG is so valuable. Cheers, Vlad

There are other alternatives like utilising old Intel PC box that is most probably holding door open and install IPcop, works a treat with Telstra NT1 PlusII and the newer Argent. It also does a neat little trick with ISDN that is called DOV if you are paying for every second you are a online then look into IPcop. I have a NetJet card if interested to try. Comes with a GUI that is run from a browser, IPcop is a firewall, gateway, router and then some. Totally free just supply hardware, and no it does not utilise old Apple hardware. http://www.ipcop.org My most recent contact with Telstra left me feeling like I was at fault for having an OS that has been upgraded.

Common problem when dealing with large organisations whom will not and do not support the minority, I would not have paid for drivers they should supply them as part of hardware. In summary: Apple's direct help has been non-existent. They were more interested in selling, as opposed to helping. Nothing unusual lately. Telstra's help has become useless. Likewise, they seem more interested in selling, as opposed to supporting. Nothing at all unusual, but I have had good support in past with ISDN. I no longer use ISDN,but technician whom used to service my connection has moved on unfortunately. Mac users, in contrast, often provide helpful information. Cheers! `Rob...
Re: editing song names
Click FILE Click GET INFO Click INFO On 16/08/2005, at 4:55 PM, Chris Burton wrote: Hi all Can someone please give me directions on how to edit the song name of mp3's in itunes? I normally just click once in the 'album' or 'artist' column so a space is highlighted then type something. With several new songs added to the list, I cant edit the song name. Using get info on the song in the finder shows the 'locked' box ghosted out, whereas some of the others are not?? Also in get info in itunes the volume adjustment and 'Artwork' heading are also ghosted out? I would like to be able to put in the album name, genre etc. Would the later versions of itunes overcome this problem? Maybe in Tiger? Im using itunes 4.7 (41) in 10.3.8 on a PB 1.33 ghz machine thanks for any help kind regards chris -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WAMUG is powered by Stalker CommuniGatePro Regards, Stephen Chape
