greetings, I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions or tips/scripts/tools/etc for managing the power management settings of a group of computers - a mix of g5 & intel, all running 10.4.x, 10.3 server. specifically, to control the time to sleep, and a wake schedule. i've recently...

So I've got a bunch of Macs out with folks here at work that were prepared with Carbon Copy Cloner, so they all started off with exact HD copies. The machines all have Office 2004 installed, and when I was making my master disk image was not thinking and put in a "generic" name (something like...

Ok, here's the problem: I'm signed up to a couple of important e-mail lists that send e-mail in HTML format (and there is no option from them to receive only plain text messages.) The font size they use makes the messages microscopic on my 12" PB so I'm constantly clicking the "Bigger" text...

Some quick background info... I have a 2001 Dual USB iBook G3/500. I didn't have it much longer than a week or two before I cracked it open and performed the resistor mods to up the bus speed to 100MHz (thus making it a G3/600.) Its been fine for 2 years until recently. The machine always...

On a multi-processor Windows NT based machine you can bring up task manager, look at the list of running processes, right click and use the "Set Affinity" option to tell which processes to use which CPU. I'm wondering if there is something equivalent on OS X so that I could force certain...

Seemingly randomly my system hangs on me... the mouse still moves around (and its just an arrow, no spinning beach ball or anything) but I can't click or do anything. The current song will keep playing but skip on me - it will play maybe 5 seconds of music, pause for about 30 seconds, play...

Today I went to look for a message I had sent a few days ago with Mail, so I switched to the Sent mailbox. Every time I opened a new message, it would display below in the preview window - but funny thing is happening, a FORTUNE COOKIE appears randomly in the middle of the message. Text-only...

I've got a dual USB iBook G3 with Panther recently installed on it. Panther was installed as an upgrade from the developer preview release that had originally been clean installed... and I know the developer release specifically discouraged attempting to upgrade to later versions but what can I...

Another quick prehiphreal question... I want to use the two side buttons on my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical on my iBook to activate the Expose clear screen and all windows tricks.. I can configure this fine from the Expose system preference menu and it works great. I then installed the...

I have a mirror drive door DP867 that I just installed Panther on (upgrade install from 10.2.5, yeah I was behind on my updates). I'm still using the black/white/clear keyboard that came with the machine... just wondering if anybody knows why my volume up/down/mute and eject keys (the 4 keys in...

I'm just wondering if anybody out there has seen this.. I'm using screen version "Screen version 3.09.10 (FAU) 4-Sep-01" that I obtained and compiled through fink. I use it to keep some command line processes running after I close the terminal window and re-attach to them locally or sometimes...

OK.. this is going to sound weird.. but I have an original model Dual USB iBook 12".. the kind that uses the same jack for headphones and the audio/video out cable... whenever I plug in a particular pair of headphones, the screen turns blue for a second as if its changing resolutions - I think...

Brand new dual G4/867... I have a minimal amount of software installed on it and I dont *think* I have screwed anything up yet.. but several times now I have been typing mid-sentence and suddenly all the characters coming out of my keyboard are greek symbols! Its not a font problem, because at...

I've been using the Windows RDC client to connect to my Windows XP machine via my iBook for months now. I recently received a new powermac dual g4/867 w/radeon 9000 pro. Upon hooking everything up the first thing I needed to do was check something out on my PC.. so I loaded up internet...

I recently received my brand new Dual G4/867 powermac with Radeon 9000 Pro... there were a number of system updates so I ran them all right away, one of which included the quicktime 6.02 update... so I'm not sure if this is just a problem with the update or with quicktime in general - but...
