Re: exceded maximum B tree depth
I have Disk Warrior bought October 20, 2011 from Alsoft. Before I use Disk Warrior, are there any pitfalls I should be aware of? Not many. DiskWarrior won't proceed if it determines it can't fix the problem, but I believe this is one it can untangle. I have dealt with many drives Disk First Aid and Disk Utility couldn't repair, but DiskWarrior could. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- TODAY'S DUMB TRUE HEADLINE: Enfield Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide -- -- 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.

That is an error beyond the capability of Disk Utility to repair. Yea. Fsck, the unix tool underneath Disk Utility, is a bit simple minded. If I can get that HD to mount, and if those seven files/folders are readable, I can then copy them from the desk top to one or more other HD's so that I have a back up and some peace of mind..

It works by rebuilding the file system from the ground up, instead of trying to repair it in place. First, try mounting the volume read-only. That might be enough to get those files off it. If that fails, then run Disk Warrior. Here are the directions to do the mount: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23941 HTH, - 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.

G5 and Airport Extreme
So it looks like I might bite the bullet and buy this particular G5 just so I can run Leopard and sync with the recently acquired 2nd gen ipod touch. It sure would save time on the various workarounds proposed here for my G4. Local seller wants $100; inside is 1 gig of ram and a nice 500 gb hard drive [is that a decent deal?]. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/stats/powermac_g5_1.8_dp.html Now, what it does NOT have is an Airport Extreme card installed. I have one in my dead G4 iBook. Could I just swap it in? Is it real easy to install in the G5, like just sliding it in place as in the G4? This particular model does NOT require the special bluetooth card, correct? -- 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.

It appears you could swap in the Airport Extreme card from your iBook, but... You'd need to acquire an Airport G5 T antenna because without the little T antenna you won't have good reception. There was one listed on LEM-Swap for $12 recently. You might be able to improvise an alternative antenna to make due? You'll only get 802.11g speed of 54mbps whereas if you bought any Broadcom chipset 802.11n PCI card which will recognize by OS X as Apple Airport you can get minimally 130mbps for single channel 802.11n or up to 300mbps if you get a dual-band card. If you have to buy the T antenna, you might check out prices for Broadcom chipset 802.11n PCI cards which could be a better deal in the long run? The price on your G5 is good, but get more RAM, and perhaps a better video card. -- 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: G5 and Airport Extreme
Not a bad deal, but you will want to max the ram as soon as possible.
