10.4.9 Xserve Setup

March 30th, 2007 by Brandon

Currently I’m trying to get link aggregate setup…any advice? I’m seeing under Network in the System Preferences, “the cable for link aggregate is not plugged in” but I have both network cables plugged in.

One is directly to the wall, the other is in a switch. First I’ll put that one straight to the wall and see if that helps.

Link aggregate will seriously help my network bottleneck for this server, just need to get it figured out!

Printing Error Numbers

January 29th, 2007 by Brandon

I have seen many different Mac OS 9 printer error numbers. These codes are usually vague at best and finding information about what they mean is usually impossible. However, following the tip below can solve a lot of the problems regardless of what the error number is, or what it means.

Delete the following files:

Macintosh HD > System Folder > Preferences > Printing Prefs > Parsed PPD
Macintosh HD > System Folder > Preferences > Printing Prefs > Laserwriter 8

If you delete those two files, all of your OS 9 printers will be deleted as well.

Then just open your Desktop Printer Utility and add a printer. Verify that your printer is working by printing a page to it.

That should fix most of your OS 9 printing error codes!

Can’t empty trash in OS X file is in use

January 18th, 2006 by Brandon

If you get the “File is in use” and it cannot be deleted from the trash can, there is a simple fix. This command will overwrite all permissions and delete the file that can’t be deleted. You may need to be logged in as an Administrator and type your password into the terminal box.

Open ‘Terminal’ and type this in:

sudo rm -R ~/.Trash/*

Always be carefule when using Terminal and the sudo command. Use at your own risk.

Hope that helps,

Apple Happy Staff
