Hey there. I was wondering if theres anyone out there who knows where I can go to download some original and other Apple sounds? I'm on OSX but still would like to add a few new sounds to use for different actions. (I hope this is the right sub fora to write in about this, if not I...

*Swoosh* (sorry...just had to)

Wow, what a lot of wining over something that's free. I say, take it or leave it! I like some of the podcastings that one can download and listen to "on the go". There are more that I do not want to listen to so....what's the big deal? There are worse things to rant about, imv. ;) Cheers!

C. Addict: -"Mighty Mouse"!. Now...who will be the lucky one getting your kidney? ;) G

-That may be true but perhaps he did not notice that option because of the feature's lack of huge capitals? :p G

Thank you, Bob for making my day. You're THE master! ::love:: :D Gambit

Well...upgraded to Tigrrr from Panther and all is well...except, I do not know how to import my Safari bookmarks to Firefox. I've searched so many places now (including Mozilla.org and macforas) but can't find any other references to this subject other than "importing from IE to F.F." and I do...

Did that once myself...ended up having to reinstall my OS! I had tryed to fix it with everything and anything (tips that others gave me) but had to give up after some days because it had really messed up a lot of things for me. Realised that it would be better to reinstall than go on, even if...

I'm one that has actually scrolled down and read all the posts here :) I could not agree more with both Bobs and frykes views on the subject. To me it is pretty simple and clear from the start. Either you respect the rules of a board (that is moderated--->for the sake of all) or you do...

profx: nope...that didn't work. The puter just restarted. fryke: I'm not afraid of a reinstallment. It's just a big nuissance, that's all. Reinstalling all the programs and prefs all over again. I asure you that these have grown in size in very little time ;) But on the whole; yes...you're...

DeltaMac: aaah, that's why it didn't work. Every darn space, dot and slash is vital when typing. A lack of a space makes all the difference. profx: never heard of that. interesting, but what utility are you speaking of that I need the password to? If what you mentioned is correct then I...

Doh! "UID" = user identity, "GID" = group identity. Silly me. Still...no numbers.

Darkshadow: Opened Terminal and did a sudo and then the first command nidump -r/users/my-real-short-user-name. What I got was a list of: aliases bootptab bootparams ethers exports fstab group hosts networks...

Thank you Darkshadow for the Terminal tips. I suspect I will find the fix there if I can do it right. I'm not a Unix fantast but I did think that that must be the only thing I can use to solve my problem or...reinstall the whole darn OS again. I have fixed other stuff via the Terminal before...

Thank's deltamac for that info. Down here you can see what probably is going on. And no...nothing happens when I try to restart, shut down or log out via the apple menu... So here's what's happend: I think I now know where the problem lies. It doesn't lie with permissions but with where I...
