I did everything it said. It worked for several hours then CRASH. I get the same console messages like this: .org.gnome.tomboy[801] (Tomboy:801): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_TOOLBAR (container) || widget->parent == GTK_WIDGET (container)' failed :eek: It also...

I downloaded this after the instructor mentioned wanting us to use Onenote in class because we'd be able to take the notes when we leave. I asked if it was mac compatible and got the uhhh.... Anyway I searched for a mac compatible freeware equivalent (I hardly want to buy Microsoft office...

Bumping this up...I've seen the question posted but I'm unclear on the answer. Is there a way to hook my macbook up to the cable box and dvd-r a couple of shows?(Basic cable, not premium or even HD) I know there are gadgets but I'm really curious as to if there is a way to do it with just...

Thanks. I downloaded the NTFS-3G. Since I can't escape the need to work with the PC...

how to delete

I couldn't play some online games in Safari so I clicked the go to shockwave website, read something about it not working on intel macs and tried restarting in rosetta. Then it worked. Then I downloaded something called Better Privacy in Firefox (I use both that and Safari) and I either...

I haven't seen any evidence it's been removed and online others mention it. But my intel macbook (refurbished, and no install discs) has no font book. Fonts and Font collections but no book. I just missed it. Is this a fluke on the folks that refurbished forgot to add it or has Leopard not got...

oops never mind. With much experimenting I find that one can get it with cat /usr/share/ and so on. The grep command no longer works and it's no longer mixed in with all the rest of the history, (at least I think it was before.) And sometimes it only works with copy paste. Weird.

Yes, I can yank stuff off. I just wondered if there was a way for leopard to rewrite it back to FAT. I've read that there are ways for Snow Leopard although they sound rather complicated-terminal and all that.

It was given to me for a computer class for backups, theirs are pc but I do need files off my mac at times. But the first time I transferred between the two it went 'blooey' for unknown reasons (properly ejected and all) :( And had to be reformatted. But instead of reformatting as FAT the pc...

Okay, It's hardly critical. But I'm curious and it was fun.:cool: It's on my old imac running panther but I can't get it to open in leopard's terminal. I finally found that it is in there: if one types open usr/share and looks in the finder window that pops up then one finds the calendar folder...

Thanks for the tips. The message about blaster is coming from an embarq service message, its not a pop up, it's a redirect -very annoying as it can't be disabled. I have to quit browser and all to get it to leave. If I even open the other browser when it's open that one gets it too. I really...

So I hear all this about mac viruses and malware being rare, but I got this weird message from my internet browser about unusual high internet usage "You may have a blaster virus". Of course, last time it was my Dad's pc that got the message. And this morning my wireless internet has been on the...

Does anyone know if there is a sign in console for any wierd trojans or anything? I don't mean I expect it to be a virus blocker or anything but some lines are suspicious. I'm getting a line that says '4/30/10 5:31:45 PM [0x0-0x11011].com.apple.Safari[114] DrawDirtyStuff() 4/30/10 5:32:02 PM...

I'm taking job training in Web design applications-so it's school related. And they are all using old Gateways that break down or have log in issues every day. I've seen students have to haul in their own laptops because the 'virus squad' zoomed in and took their computer for upgrades or...
