I just upgraded from Shockwave 11.5 to 11.6, but now it runs at about 1 fps, and the option to use hardware OpenGL rendering is greyed out. Shockwave 11.5 worked fine. This is a problem both in Safari and Firefox; I've used both the Full installer and the Slim installer. I have a GeForce FX 5200...

In Photoshop CS3, I need to save several jpgs using "Export for Web & Devices" and embedding the ICC profile. When I save each one manually, the ICC profile is embedded, but when I created an action to do the same thing, the ICC profile isn't embedded! I can tell this because when I embed the...

I have a Dual 1.8Ghz G5 running 1.4.11. It is set to fall asleep after an hour, but lately I've noticed it doesn't. To test this, I set the monitor to fall asleep after 1 minute and the computer to fall asleep after 2 minutes. I waited, the monitor fell asleep, but the computer never did. I...

I'm having problems transferring photos from my camera to the computer. The transfer stops and just hangs there. I can't stop the transfer, unmount the CF card, shut down, or restart. The only way to recover is to hold down the power button and restart. The system does not freeze, just the...

I just upgraded to iTunes 8, and every time I click on the iTunes store, there's a display that says "1 Song" next to my username. I can't click on it or anything. What does it mean? (I've attached a picture.)

I have a picture of World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. As you may know, it is composed of 16x16 squares (called "sprites"). I want to break it into squares and re-create it using a few pictures in an HTML table. The image is made of 2,968 tiles (212 x 14). The image is 3394x224 pixels. This may...

I bought an iPod off of eBay a while back, and today it finally arrived. In short, it won't connect to my computer. Here's what it can and can't do: Power on/Play songs/Run normally: Yes Reboot: Yes Charge: Yes - Proves the USB cable is capable of something. Disk mode: Always says "OK...

I'm trying to install mysql-python. When I try to build it I get the following errors: $ python setup.py build running build running build_py copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.darwin-8.8.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/MySQLdb running build_ext building '_mysql' extension...

/* Hmmmm... The title seems a bit truncated. I wonder how that happened. */ I'm having a problem with my Canon Optura 200 MC: it won't import video from the DV cassette to iMovie. When it's connected to the computer and is in "play" mode, the camera displays "DV in" and iMovie says that no...

Ok, so I want to make my own satyrical newscast/TV show, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on a camera. Most of it will be studio work, but I hope to do a little "out and about" shooting as well. Mostly what I'm looking for is a good webcam, but I also want it to be like a low-quality...

There's this open-source project called Touchgraph which is a sort-of interesting open source project. I was wanting to build it myself and mess around with the source code a little bit, but I can't get it to work. I downloaded the Graph Layout example and started a new XCode project, then I...

Ok, I want to create an image in Photoshop whose background matches the background in a webpage. I'm using the "Generic RGB Profile" for my monitor, and "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" for Photoshop (I'm using the North American General Purpose Defaults). No matter what profile I use for my image, it's...

I want to be able to create documents with mathematical formulas in them. If I bought Pages, could I create my formula in Grapher, then paste it into Pages? I don't want to paste in something that's like a bitmap, I want to be able to paste Latex or EPS. If this won't work, feel free to make...

Basically I've narrowed my Tiger problems into two categories: Things are slow, and the fonts don't work correctly. I think the fonts are causing all of my problems with Tiger. EDIT: I've solved some of these problems below, so you might just want to skip to the next post. Today's problem...

I don't know what all is going on with X11, but two things that are showing up are that the $PATH is messed up, and the .xinitrc files differ. The $PATH in Terminal: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin The $PATH in XDarwin...

For a long time, I've been using Smultron, which is a text editor with a lovely interface, but horrid logic. I've finally decided to kick the habit and try to get used to Text Wrangler. However, Smultron has made it so all of my .xml files have a "kind" of either "Smultron document" or "Standard...

I installed MySQL from the OS X installer package, and now the $PATH has changed so it doesn't include /sw/bin or /sw/sbin so I can't use any programs from Fink. There's nothing worse than software taking over to such a degree that you don't know how it's doing what you don't want it to do...

I recently bought a 200 GB drive on which to put a minimal install of Linux (namely, Gentoo). I want to be able to do two things: 1. I want to be able to go between OS X and Linux easily. How do you boot Linux from OS X, and how do you boot OS X from Linux? I suppose on the OS X side, the...

I've spent a lot of time collecting fonts and sorting them into about 25 different collections. Is there a way that I can archive all of this so I can either share it with other people or be able to restore my settings if my computer goes sour? Thanks.

Whenever I start Stuffit, it bounces in the Dock for about a minute before it opens. I have turned off "check for updates at startup" and removed the plist files, but nothing seems to help. What's the matter with it?
