Re: Getting really sick of access privileges
It's UNIX. Not Mac OS X. Most OSes have the permissions crud because they are optimized for multi user systems. The only OS I know of that doesn't have permissions is BeOS. -- 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: Getting really sick of access privileges
Run Disk Utility?>Repair Permissions on both Computer A & B. This problem could be with the application and not with the file. It may be telling you that you don't have privileges to "Save" within the application rather than the file's privileges have an issue. Hopefully Repair Permissions will correct any issue with the application. Sometimes when computers are linked, a file will launch an application on the OTHER computer, and this can cause this type of issue. So if you have iPhoto or Photoshop or some application installed on both computers, and it's running on the wrong computer, you need to close that application and start it again on the computer you're using. -- 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.

Getting really sick of access privileges
I thought that when I got my two home computers wirelessly networked I'd really be able to move files back and forth between them (G4 and G5 Powermacs both running 10.5.8). No more running back and forth with a flash drive to transfer files. Well, I can move files back and forth between computers wirelessly now, but that's about all I can do with them. I've run into Privileges Hell. Every time I go to open a file that's been moved between computers, I get all tangled up in "access privileges." For example, I just pulled a TIFF image from Computer A to Computer B. I open it on Computer B, make some adjustments to color, and then try to Save, and up pops a box that says I can't Save because I "don't have the necessary access privileges." So I go to the Get Info box for the file and make sure that I and anybody else DO have read/write privileges--I have the Read/Write privileges, Admin has Read/Write privileges, Anybody has them. EVERYBODY on that list in the Get Info box has read/write privileges. Close the Info box, open the TIFF file again, make changes, try to Save---and up pops the same blasted warning again: "Could not save the file because you do not have the necessary access privileges." So I try to Save As with a different name-- with the same result--can't Save because I don't have the "access privileges." I tell you, I'm getting really sick of "privileges" and not having them, and not being able to get them either. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way around this "privileges" hell that Apple builds into OSX?

Log into the router's GUI interface using IP address 192.168.1.1 and then list the log, check it out, and, finally, issue the REBOOT command. This can be done from any computer on the Intranet side of the router, using your favorite browser. -- 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.

What do your children do! However, if you type in the ip address of your router into the address bar of a browser you will be taken to the router’s set up page (after being prompted for a user name and password - usually “admin” for user name and “password” or “admin” for password, without the quotes.) Somewhere on the left sidebar there will be a “Diagnostics” section. Click on this and you should find reboot or restart router at the bottom of this page.

Try putting the router IP address into a browser. You can find the router address in your IP settings. You'll have to look around to find the reset / restart command. This will only work if the problem with the router isn't in LAN access or the management function.

The login address is specific to the router model, you'll need to look it up in the manual. Most NetGear are something like 192.168.0.1. Once you login, you might also want to check the router firmware and see if there have been any firmware updates for your router. Often an update might cure your intermittent disconnect issue. When you're logged in, you should be able to find a "reset" button that will reset the router from within your browser. As I said, there's a chance a firmware update could cure your issue, so check that also. You shouldn't need to reset the router that often, or often at all. -- 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.

router question
Greetings Listers, I am using a NetGear wireless router in my home, and quite often, especially when my children are at home.the router needs to be reset in order for me to get online. If I unplug the router (from the electricity)for a couple of seconds and then plug it back in, I can always get back online. My G4 is connected via a CAT5 cable. The problem is: the router lives in my garage and is not close to my G4 in the basement. Is ther a command of some kind that I can send to the router from the basementor must I continue to make that long walk to the garage?

Re: PCI Cards under OS X 10.5.8 vrs 10.4.11
Hi, I also have the 7.1 Revolution in my MDD and after upgrading to Tiger I tried the M-Audio "upgrade" drivers for Tiger. Actually they worked very irratically and when I reinstalled the M-Audio Panther drivers my system was "reasonably" stable again. Don't know how the Panther drivers would perform under Leopard, though ... All the best, Jörg.
