00:11.59 | dn3e8 | still trying to create a guest account |
00:31.41 | wps | dn3e8, you could create an account named something else and then change the account's short username |
00:31.44 | wps | http://homepage.mac.com/frakes/MOSXPT/content/shortusername.html |
00:32.50 | dn3e8 | I am still a little curious as to why I cant use the name guest |
00:33.23 | wps | try asking the list |
00:33.50 | wps | I have never heard of anyone not being able to use that and since I cannot replicate it, it's hard for me to debug or come up with ideas |
00:35.28 | dn3e8 | do you know who is the MUGer that works at the genus bar |
00:36.01 | wps | I don't. Sorry. There are a lot of smart people on the list though. I would ask if anyone else has every experienced something similar. |
00:36.59 | dn3e8 | I bet ther is a bug in the upgrade to tiger version... |
00:37.27 | wps | you upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4 instead of installing 10.4 fresh? |
00:38.04 | dn3e8 | my mac mini came 10.3 and an upgrade disk |
00:38.30 | wps | that's a good guess then… not even that there is a bug per say, but just the upgrading process, something could have not been written correctly |
00:38.41 | wps | I would always recommend reformatting and installing fresh |
00:38.47 | wps | for major upgrades |
00:39.06 | wps | how long since you set it up? would it be painful to reformat? |
00:39.09 | dn3e8 | My tiger is an upgrade only |
00:39.29 | wps | upgrade only? |
00:39.36 | dn3e8 | not too pain full, I do whole clone of my HD every month... |
00:40.23 | wps | I have never heard of Apple releasing an OS disc without the entire OS on it |
00:40.39 | dn3e8 | the DVD says it ina an upgrade.. and when I tried to just install off of the tiger DVD it said it couldn't... |
00:41.10 | dn3e8 | Maybe I need to check it again |
00:41.24 | wps | do you have a normal 10.4 install disc? |
00:41.33 | wps | (ie: one that didn't come with the mini) |
00:42.24 | dn3e8 | I might... it depends on what apple shipped... the recovery DVD is 10.3 |
00:42.56 | dn3e8 | NO I don't have one that didn't come with the mini... I could probably get one though |
00:43.02 | dn3e8 | (from the MUG) |
00:45.44 | wps | so, why did it come with 10.3 installed and an upgrade-to-10.4 disc? did you purchase it right at the time 10.4 was released? |
00:50.57 | dn3e8 | yes |
00:51.55 | wps | I'd say that you own a license to 10.4 then and would recommend just borrowing a standard 10.4 install disc from a friend, wiping the mini, and installing fresh |
01:09.56 | dn3e8 | thanks |
01:10.02 | wps | sure |
