    Mac Themes vs. Apple Lawyers

    Think of it this way.... Your company has spent millions in R&D to develop the interface which it is going to position against whatever Microsoft and anyone else is going to put out in the next year. What do you do to preserve your brand identity? Aqua is going to be Apple's signature, the...

    Moving Applications around

    There are a lot of funny things that happen when you do this. One of the things that I could see becoming a problem is that if you move Classic, trying to boot a Classic app will fail unless you have Classic already running; it just won't boot. I can still open the terminal and type "open -a...

    Moving Applications around

    Trying to organize my OSX HD the other day, I moved some folders around trying to put all my OSX downloads into some sort of order. I moved All the Apple apps into a folder and now 'Command-F' in the Finder gives me a"can't find Sherlock' message. I know that the Unix file system is different...

    Panic problems on Cube

    Some of the Dual G4s were having that problem... one of them being mine. I had a third party 256 RAM module that had to be pulled before the OSX PB would install. I also took out a SCSI and Miro card to be safe. I used to get a kernal panic each time I installed it, until I literally stripped...

    Blue Screen on G4/450 Dual

    While I can appreciate that this software is beta, I am more than a little surprised that I cannot install this thing on a brand new (still has some of the plastic-on-the-front machine) G4... you would think that Apple would have some sort of documentation on this. I mean, did they not even try...

    Blue Screen on G4/450 Dual

    Thanks for the reply... not sure if I actually tired booting fresh from a shutdown or not. I have had a hell of a time tring to get this installed.... pulled the Apple SCSI card, a 256M DIMM, a Lightwave dongle and all my USB periphrials (sp) off in case something was messing up the install...

    OS X CD boot problem

    I have a G4 Dual0450 with a 6g OSX partition on a 30g drive, and a DVD-RAM. I have been trying to install OSX all day (from a legit CD, not a copy) The CD boots the machine... lots of noise, then usually a blank blue screen. The last time, hitting the Enter key after 10 minutes of blank screen...

    Blue Screen on G4/450 Dual

    I get a similar thing when trying to boot the machine from the OSX Install CD... I get either a frozen blue screen (pointer won't move) or something that looks remarkably similar to an NT blue screen.... messages about kernel and such. I called Apple about the problem and the wanted to charge...

    Can´t boot on OS X beta CD

    I'm having trouble getting the OS to install on my G4 - the system just hangs and gives me some really scary screens. A few times I get a blank happy Mac screen with the spinningrainbow cursor, other times I get what looks like an NT blue screen (with the 0x0000000 -type errors) saying...
