It was a script from Google ( it was from *something*.google.com ) and
it was on a site where I block scripts (only enabled Temporarily if

Re: All NON Boot Drives are 'Locked' ???

2009-11-27 Thread aussieshepsrock 
Howdy,
   The commands worked! Thanks a zillion. This was my first encounter
with an issue like this specific one. I figured it was about 99%
surely a simple permissions issue was the prob, but that other 1% was
the terrifying feeling All my internal drive files and the archive
external HD files were gone for good!
   I did have to do a 'repair disk' with Disk Utility before the
externals became accessible though. Huge sigh of relief

Doable IFF you have admin type access to said routers.

And if you swap out the router, all those "filters" vanish.

And if you screw up an entry, you can interrupt service for all those 'puters.

And if you move the computer to a different location, it is no longer 
protected by such filters.

How do you handle filtering on a domain to which access might be 
needed by someone else on your network?

Ditto for issues of editing the hosts file.  Requires admin access, 
no syntax errors, 100% cooperative users, etc.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of this type of filtering.  Domain blocking 
should be done in the browser, where it can easily be undone / 
corrected by normal users, not at a higher level where it becomes an 
admin hassle.

Now, if you're running a large business and your job is to filter 
your users up the wazoo... then you deserve to have the hassle.

I didn't remember what card I have but it is the same, a SeriTek 1S2. 
This is in my GE server running standard Tiger.  It has a 750 Gb and a 
1Tb drives attached.  There are also two IDE drives connected to the MB 
IDE controller.

Now I'm in the market for another card.  I'm thinking I might go with a 
2 SATA, 2 E-SATA controller.  I'd use this with the existing card 
allowing me to expand to external drives later, when needed.  I'd 
replace the smaller drives with 1+ Tb drives.

Currently one of the IDE drives has the OS installed on it but the next 
drive will likely take over that task.

The card has worked fine the year or two I've had it.

This is what's so great about the Web Inspector versus looking at the

the page it's coding. I just with there was a way to break the Web  
Inspector window off, so I could see the whole web page and the code

Re: All NON Boot Drives are 'Locked' ???

2009-11-27 Thread Bill & Bunny Kuhlman 
Richard,

We had the same problem with the same symptoms and the same inability 
to make the appropriate changes - four drives were affected.

After a relatively lengthy search, we found this thread on the Apple forums:
.

The third post, the one from V.K., is the one which worked for us.

Make sure you do a copy and paste on the two Terminal commands he provides.

Input the first command line, enter password, and then input the 
second command line.

All of our HDs (one internal, three external) were unlocked immediately.

Hopefully this procedure will work for you, too.

All NON Boot Drives are 'Locked' ???

2009-11-27 Thread aussieshepsrock 
Hello,
   I've encountered a weird issue. There are little paddlelocks on
most of my drives. I think it's a permissions issue of some sort I've
never encountered before. My boot partition on the internal drive is
fine, but the other boot partition and the user data partition won't
let me access them at all. Says I don't have enough access
priviledges. The same issue with my 800gig raid external drive too. I
can't access or modify the 'locked' drives with drive utility when
booted from an install disk either. When I do a Get Info and look at
the sharing and permissions section, all the listings there have a
'custom' indicator in the popup menu. The custom indicator won't
change to anything else using the popup menu either. This is very very
weird. The 'ignore ownership' check box is marked in the get info
window, but the orange paddlelock is also there, I had to click on it
and enter my admin password to do the tasks I listed above.
   What the heck is going on? I'm locked out of all my software, data,
data archives, software archives. I tried a reinstall (the boot drive
is 'sacrificial' and the user folder is kept on the user partition. NO
Help. Quite confused here.

The Qt stuff can be useful.

If you open that plist in the Property List 
Editor, and widen the properly list field a 
*lot*, then you can see from which apps it was 
used.  The key names include the app names.

eg:

Qt Factory Cache 
4·5.com·trolltech·Qt·QImageIOHandlerFactoryInterface:.Users.dan.Desktop.Minitube·app.Contents.PlugIns.imageformats.libqgif·dylib

"Minitube" is an app I fooled around with recently.

For the rest of the features, you'll need to install their software.

Most of the time a USB 2.0 device will work on a USB 1.1 bus just  
fine, albeit at USB 1.1 speeds.

I have run into a few USB 2.0 devices that "Mean It!", but not in  
quite a while.

In my experience they were very early USB 2.0 devices, like DVD burners.

Turn on the developer menu is Safari and you can use the Web inspector  
to isolate the bit of code that produces that Twitcrap.

IN this case it's the section that begins at:

div id="text-553827321" class="widget_widget_text"

And is loading stuff from:

http://widgets.twimg.com/j/1/widget.js

So if you block

widgets.twimg.com either with SafariBlock or in hosts, that should  
stop the Twitcrap.

That said, I have a crapload of stuff running right now and my load is:

frankenmac:~ johnson$ w
10:46  up  1:08, 2 users, load averages: 0.19 0.15 0.08

With that page loaded. (running Safari 4.0.1 with all flash on that  
page blocked)

So it may be something else bogging stuff down.

An addendum to my previous answer.

More generally, ANY USB pointing device will function in OS X, at  
least in a basic fashion. I had someone bring over a box full of old  
Mac stuff to surplus (a ton of Phone-Net cables, some SCSI-Ethernet  
adapters, etc.) and among them was a Cirque Glidepoint ADB trackpad  
(discontinued since OS 8.6 times).

I happened to have a ADB-USB iMate adapter around, plugged it in and  
lo and behold, it worked. Only one button was recognized, even with  
USB overdrive, and it tracked kind of slowly, but it worked.

Any typical USB two-button+scrollwheel PC mouse will also work with  
full functionality out of the box on OS X, the left button clicks, the  
right control-clicks and the scroll wheel scrolls. I've also never run  
into a wireless mouse that didn't work.

I suspect that if you get a monstrosity like this  you'll need drivers, but IMO you'll also need your head examined!

Note: That thing sticking out of the side of the mouse, where your  
thumb would go?

That is a joystick.

Yes.

A joystick ON a mouse.

Even Dr. Moreau would declare this an experiment too far.

 To further clarify my earlier post; IIRC I had claimed that the bus o my

a hardware limitation but a software limitation. He cited the OS X versions
that were in question. Again IIRC YMMV.
