Does that really work? I thought the archived file could only be opened by iDVD. I assume that because encoding doesn't even seem to happen, considering that when I choose the archive option, I'm asked for 83GB of disk space. I wish I could do that though. As it is, I'm feeling sorry I...

I have recently got a great deal on an external firewire DVR-106D and it works fine, except it doesn't work with iDVD. Anybody know a hack to allow it to work? By the way, I'm working on a powerbook G4/800 (bought it before superdrives were an option) so putting the drive into the case isn't...

I have a DVR-106D and it works fine, except since it's an external firewire device, it doesn't work with iDVD. Anybody know a hack to allow it to work? By the way, I'm working on a powerbook G4/800 (bought it before superdrives were an option) so putting the drive into the case isn't going to...

I already looked through that list. I guess I should have realized that pretty much everything is available on versiontracker. Therefore, I guess it just isn't out there. Oh well...

Perhaps I'm not searching correctly on their website, but I'm not finding anything other than MooSB, which assigns sounds to various system events. I'm just looking for the overall system beep to be a random sound picked from a group of files in a specified folder.

Does anybody remember Speed Beep from the classic Mac OS? It allowed you to have a random sound each time the system beeped. Now, I realize Mac OS X doesn't beep quite as often as the classic OS, but I really miss this utility. I'd put a huge number of sounds in the system and it was always a...

I have a friend who is having a hard time reading CD-Rs burned by her PC using friends. She has a 15" powerbook G4/867. Is she doing something wrong? Or does OS X not support these proprietary format disks? I supposed those wintel users could burn ISO-compatible disks, but they probably have...

Actually, it was working fine BEFORE I installed 10.2 - it's now that it turned brown and won't change to anything else. [ADDENDUM!!!] I tried quitting mail after a reboot and changing the settings in the general system preferences to green. Now mail is highlighting in green. HOWEVER, it...

Well, I have a G4/500 Powerbook and I just installed OS 10.2 on it. I had a minor problem during install. The system restarted itself and then installed again. I think it's because the CD didn't go into the slot-loader correctly the first time. So far, 10.2 is nice. Windows open like they...

Hello there, This morning I came into work and the G4/400 Tower on my desk was emitting lots of noise from its hard drive, as if I was accessing it heavily. I opened up process viewer (which took forever as everything on the machine was super-slow) and it showed the process perl taking up 80%...

Hello folks, There is an iMac 333 (Grape) running OS X 10.1.5 here at work that will not print to network printers. You can set up the printer by selecting it via appletalk, and it even automatically creates the printer with the proper print driver. However, when you try to print, it doesn't...

I was under the impression that OS 9 PPD files didn't work right under OS X. Am I right here? If they do work, then if I can see a printer under Appletalk, I could set the PPD to the OS 9 version, and it would work properly? If this is the case, then why are there OS X PPDs at all? Matthew

I saw this utility on versiontracker: Print Center Repair. It supposedly fixes all sorts of issues like this. Just go to the OS X section of versiontracker and do a search for "print center" and it will show up. Matthew

Actually, I use VNC here. However, I actually need terminal services because I have multiple people logging on to this server machine and using a special windows-only application on it. I have both PC and Mac users accessing it from home, which is its normal use, but if a Mac user would need...

Thank you very much for that information. I will store that in a safe place. I wonder if rdesktop will ever be able to compile in a way that doesn't require X Windows. After all, it would be much easier to deploy to novice users. Currently, if I want a Mac user to have a nice way to access...
