Earlier versions of MacOS X fully support CREATOR/TYPE codes. They use this metadata as part of a sophisticated scheme to establish the relationship between files and applications. Many MacOS X applications continue to support CREATOR/TYPE codes. This would appear to be the case with the...

Here is the deal, gsahli is correct about resource and data forks. There is something else--CREATOR and TYPE codes. MacOS 9 and earlier versions the classic Mac OS associate files with their default applications using the CREATOR code. The OS uses the TYPE code to tell the application the...

Two things: Mapping drives is DOS/Windows parlance for handling network volumes. It refers to the practice of assigning a DOS drive letter to a volume's network address. MacOS 9 never used drive letters. MacOS X and other Unix and UNIX-like operating systems have no concept of drive...

You are confusing issues. When you share a drive, the host OS handles the filesystem. The client goes through the host and does not worry about the native filesystem. If you want MacOS X to share a partition, then the partitition should be formatted HFS+. Enable Windows sharing on your Mac. Your...

I would be careful about what I inferred from the Apple tech's comments to you. Just because he acknowledged some of your factually obvious descriptions of LIon does not mean that he slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "My God, you're right! What on Earth were we thinking?! Will you ever forgive...

This has nothing to do with the version of the OS. It is firmware and hardware issue. The firmware on the graphics card must be Mac-compatible. Windows cards must be re-flashed if they can be re-flashed to run on a Mac. If they cannot be re-flashed, then they can't run on a Mac.

The Image Capture driver is installed along with the TWAIN driver from the manufacturer's installer file. The installer on Canon's website was posted in April 2007, about 6 months prior to the introduction of MacOS X 10.5. However, Canon posted a driver uninstaller about a year later. Why it...

No version of Word has ever been reported to make folders disappear. This will conceivably be possible in Mountain Lion, but you are running Lion. If you want help, then you need to share relevant information about the folder: How was the folder created? Was the folder always on your Desktop...

You have not given enough information about the folder for anyone to say anything about it. It sounds like the folder may have been in fact an alias to a folder on a network volume. This, we do know. A folder on your hard drive will not just disappear on its own. It may very well be that you...

There is no "might" to it. It is a violation of the rules of this forum to discuss Hackintoshes. There are websites freely allow you to ask for such help and to give it. This is not one of them.

You are as wrong about this as you are about everything else. Old school people know stuff. I love the G3 and the G4. However, I really love the G5. Its one fault is that it ran hot. The cooling module dealt with the heat. Nothing can be done to the G3 or G4 to raise their performance levels to...

This is not true. MacOS X 10.0 shipped with the latest MacOS 9 CD. Having purchased MacOS 9 separately, I had mixed feelings about it. I seem to recall that MacOS X 10.1 also shipped with the latest version of MacOS 9, but that was more than a decade ago. My memory fades and I can't locate my...

A simple search could have answered this question is less time than you needed to type your question. That is not how you install the OS for an emulator. The OS is installed from within the running emulator or with the aid of a provided installer utility.

You steadfastly refuse to learn.

You did not say that. Current Intel processors are not first generation Pentiums. The PowerPC 970 (aka PPC G5) is not the PowerPC 740/PowerPC 750 (aka PPC G3). The G3 ran very cool. However, G5 ran very hot. The coolest G5s required mated processor/air-cooling module units. The hottest, like my...

Undo what you did to create the problem.

Yours is a local issue. That Safari 4.1.3 user has absolutely no issue with HTTPS access on MacOS X 10.4.11 either at home or on a similar setup at work.

You appear to be asking for help in building a generic Intel-based computer to run MacOS X. This type of computer is commonly known as a "Hackintosh." It is a violation of the rules of this forum for you to discuss Hackintoshes. It is a violation of the rules for any member of this forum to...

If you know what's good for you--and you obviously don't--then you will not delete any of them.

WOW! Just Wow.
