Install AppleJack before you need it.

AppleJack is a great troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X. With AppleJack installed, you can troubleshoot a computer even if Mac OS X won’t fully start, or don’t have a startup CD handy.

We recomend AppleJack in our tiny-but-popular My Mac Won’t Start! guide. We’ve been holding back this tip for a new version that is compatible with Apple’s new Intel-based Macs. Happily, version 1.4.3 which adds Intel-compatibilities was released this month.

Creativetechs Tips on Toast?

This is the oddest line item in the Creativetechs marketing budget for 2006. 55 bucks for our message on a digital piece of toast?

Link: Your Name on Toast

I’m a Seth Godin junkie, and he mentioned this site on his blog. I would have dismissed this out of hand from any other source.

Concerns when buying Mac Pro RAM.

Free server planning sessions in Seattle.

xserve_question.jpg

The bad news: Your network is overloaded and slowing to a crawl. You team is producing larger files, but your server can’t handle it. And you’d rather not admit it, but your studio’s archiving and backup strategies are held together with duct tape and WD-40.

The good news: For a lot of companies, it’s budget planning time, and you might get a chance to fund some solutions to your server woes in 2007.

As a service for Seattle-area creative teams, we are offering a complimentary server strategy session with Creativetechs’ lead consultant Craig Swanson. Take this opportunity to map out your creative team’s server strategy for the coming year.

We’ve set aside 4 days through December, and have 16 open slots. If you manage a creative team, we encourage you to call and schedule a session. We’ll make sure it is a valuable use of your time.

Macs creating files with “._” prefix on servers?

We get occasional calls from Mac-based corporate creative teams, asking about strange files their Windows-based co-workers are seeing on shared file servers. The files have familiar names, but all start with a “._” prefix.
