Hi, A project I am working on requires a long range (100m) Bluetooth connection to be available. My powerbook has built-in Bluetooth, but (I believe - please correct me if wrong) this has a range of 10m. If I purchase a 100m Bluetooth dongle, e.g. the Belkin model, will OS X allow me to...

Thanks Giaguara, I should probably point out I'm using a cheap wireless mouse that I picked up for this project (as I'm soldering components all over it), so it doesn't have specific OS X software like say a Logitech would. Does the standard system software provide the functionality to act...

Hi, For a project I am working on, I need to disable the right mouse button from showing contextual menus. Is there any way of configuring OS X to ignore these inputs. I am using PureData, so maybe if anyone knows how to switch off the PD context menu, that would probably do the trick...

Not a support question as such, but I just turned on iDisk syncing (thought i'd finally try to make use of my iDisk...) and saw these funny icons appear next to some of the folders. Does anyone know what they mean? I can't find a reference to them anywhere. Chris -- www.chrisblunt.com...

hi that's worked, thanks! always the smallest of mistakes causing the biggest headaches! Cheers, Chris -- www.chrisblunt.com

Hi, I am trying to build address book access into my cocoa app using the address book API. No matter what I do (using every example I've found on the web), I get the following error message: ZeroLink: unknown symbol '_kABGroupNameProperty' Which I figure is telling me I've missed a...

Once you have shown hidden files (using, for example, cocktail), go to: (Restore DVD 1)/System/Installation/Packages/ The installers for iphoto and imovie are in there. For reference, I'm using the software restore dvd for a PBook 12".

Viro, not sure if it's clear from my last post, but the software restore discs my friend had were the same as yours - Panther with iLife'04. By finding the hidden installation packages as described, you'll be able to restore these apps back. You don't need to buy iLife 05 unless you really want...

My friend upgraded to tiger recently and found the same problem. If you have the software restore discs (as he did), iLife 04 is on them, just hidden. To get at them, get a program such as Cocktail from Macupdate that lets you show invisible files in the Finder. Put your restore disc in and...

Hi, My copy of itunes had similar problems to the degree that Force Quitting it locked my mac up completely. it turned out the problem was something to do with my iPod being plugged in - it seemed iTunes was trying to connect to the iPod but not finding it. Despite the Do Not Disconnect...

If you hover your mouse over the spotlight icon, you'll get a tooltip saying Indexing... or something similar if that's the case. The little magnifying glass also has a pulsing dot in it if I remember correctly; I did a clean install and indexing lasted about 3 minutes. Since then I've not...

Hi, Does anyone know if XCode 2/Tiger will allow easier (or, more accurately, allow) development of J2ME MIDLets? Mobile Java development on OS X seems a lost cause on Panther due to lack of Wireless Toolkits and support. Cheers, Chris

I didn't have the auto-time update checked. I've set it now to time.euro.apple.com. Is it best to leave this option checked? Chris -- www.chrisblunt.com

Recently, I've found myself merrily working away, only to find the clock in the menubar seems to be running a little slow. On moving my mouse to the clock, I get the rainbow ball, and find that the clock crashed over an hour ago, I've missed an appointment, lecture, etc.etc... It also turns out...

Hi, does anyone know if the new Motorola A1000 3G Phone syncs with iSync via Bluetooth? Cheers, Chris
