It's so cool that you're in Nairobi, Nicko. Is the Fairview (hotel) still there? When I'd visit there that's where I'd stay. I love it there. What kind of bird is it, bubblewra…

It's a Carolina Wren or House Wren as we call them. I saw it late yesterday afternoon with it's mother. The little fella was anting on the seat rail of our deck while the mother ke…

I knew it. A wren. Birds are cool. Until they crap on your car.

That's why we have waterhoses.

My mom used to have that problem all the time with cardinals. They would fly from her cherry tree into the same window. This went on for years. They would **** all over the place, …

I live in a log home with a large bank of large glass windows on one side and during our first couple of years here we had too many bird strikes and saw several deaths and several …

When I was young, we lived in a house that had a wooded area as a back yard (trees virtually within reach of my bedroom window). One evening I heard a small thump followed immedia…

I just installed a Belkin 750VA UPS and tried to use the Bulldog software (downloaded the latest version 3.0.4). It disconnects before I even login, and I can't get it to see the U…

Did you try using the UPS without the Belkin driver? All but the very oldest versions of Mac OS X (as well as Mac OS 9.0.4 and later) have built-in support for USB UPSes. tooki

That's what I thought, but when I uninstalled the Belkin software, I didn't see any UPS options in System Prefs. Maybe there's something wrong with the UPS?

I just recently started having issues with my SoundSticks. For some reason the sound sounds like it is muted and underwater (for lack of a better descriptor). When this first happe…

Wow, I could think of several things, but those possibilities all but vanish when I consider how they "used to work" for over a year... Have you e-mailed H/K Support? Try going i…

If switching usb ports has fixed the issue in the past, i'd suspect the driver might be having issues. Do the soundsticks have downloadable drivers or are they supported directly …

I'd GUESS, and it's a pretty wild shot, that some other driver is interferring with the USB sound driver. Tiger changed a lot of the internal kernel interfaces that the drivers use…

When I bought Tiger I also bought a 160gb Seagate hard drive and Macally PHR-100AC enclosure. I was going to start doing backups, but the hard drive would only work via USB, not F…

I have had problems with my firewire enclosure too, the USB 2.0 works fine though, I bought a cheap $10 usb 2.0 card for my mac Zach

Are you sure you have the latest firmware and drivers? http://www.macally.com/techsupport/drivers.html

Yep, I made sure to get the latest firmware. I think I've come to the conclusion that the HD is bad. I think Disk Warrior may be able to fix it, but I don't want to buy Disk Warr…

Silly question, but have you run the hardware test CD on your iMac to check the Firewire port?

No, but both my Powerbook and iMac work fine when I plug in the firewire cable and use the Powerbook in Target Disk mode. I assume that means both ports are good.

I had the same problem with the usb working but not firewire on the phr-100ac. I believe the fix was making sure the jumpers on the drive were set for master.

So, I a was sitting there, in my Tiger, wanting to copy some files off my external drive, which has a partition formatted in fat32 and one in hfs. But for some reason, Finder froze…

Er, no. DiskWarrior does not fix FAT volumes -- it's for HFS and HFS+ only. Use a disk utility (such as Norton) on a PC to try and fix it. The Mac has no utilites to fix FAT volu…
