    You’re gonna have issues because many apps don’t behave properly and are more set up to live on a one account box. So you probably will have to reinstall all apps through the new account to resolve most everything…

    The other option is to back up and wipe and start over. You might get it to work this way, but it can be very tricky.

    In 10.3.x you can just use the Find commmand in the finder and under options choose the “invisible files” option.

    I don’t know if this is true, but maybe one of your sensors on the inside is set ON a drive or too close to a heat source so that any kind of heat makes it think your machine is about to burn out, and hence, it goes to sleep automatically. It would make sense to have some sort of fail safe like this in machines that run so hot… but this is a complete guess. You could check the internal sensors and see if they look “off” in any way.

    There is also a built-in tool for viewing the non-alpha numeric symbols, just bring up the character palette.

    Have you tried the Apple website? https://www.apple.com/support/

    You should be able to download whatever you need.

    iChat doesn’t work with Yahoo. You could use something like Adium, but I don’t understand… is there some web page that you can do chat through without a separate application that you are talking about?

    I just always format the drives on my Mac. It is an option just like HFS+.

    Technically the spec is a bit stranger than that… It is if those devices on the same port are all talking to your computer at once that you get the slowdown. Now, if your mouse is 2.0 compliant, but only has the 12MBps speed, then you should be fine. USB is a weird spec in that way, but you should try testing it to see. I have used a USB 2.0 HD while using USB 1.1 devices even and while much slower than FireWire, it was fast enough for my file transfers. If you are doing something like video editing though, USB 2.0 spec really isn’t the greatest anyway. You will only notice the problem if you have a lot of USB 1.1 stuff working while trying to capture because you might get a dropped frame here and there, but if your buffer is big enough, you should be fine.

    I take it Cyberduck worked then? 😉

    What do you use FTP for and what kind of features do you need? How often do you use it? How many sites do you FTP to?

    Try downloading Cyberduck to see if it works:
    https://cyberduck.ch/

    My guess would be that you simply need to reinstall Transmit.
