    Palm goes to the darkside...

    I would like to see you stick that iBook in your pocket! I cant lice without my Treo. I havehad a long line of Palm devices and this one is the best yet! I will not buy a Windows OS Palm device though. Maybe a Linux one, but hopefully Palm will not go all Microsuck in their devices.

    Best OCR software for OS X ?

    READIRIS SUCKS..... I paid for, emailed, called, etc etc. for 3 weeks to help get some installation support. They have some crazy anti-piracy scheme that prevented me from installing the package I bought because I had used the demo first. It expired so I bought the package, proceeded to...

    Airport Express Connection Cuts Out

    You can try changing the channel on the Airport. Do you have cordless phones that are on the 2.4 Ghz range? Neighbors have one? These can cause bad problems with the network. I had experienced similar problems, and had to work on airport placement and channel issues. I also got rid of a Siemens...

    Slow Bluetooth startup

    I have a 10.4.2 dual G5 that I recently converted to Tiger from Panther. Since the conversion, my bluetooth (a Dlink dongle) is slow to startup bluetooth services. I have to wait about 20-30 seconds when getting the login window to wait for my bluetooth keyboard and mouse to come online. If I...

    Tiger Preview.app is BROKEN!!

    Oh, and to ElDiablo, the problem is with Tiger, not Panther. Panther Preview has always worked good. My current advice, if upgrading to Tiger, take a copy of Preview for Panther with you.

    Tiger Preview.app is BROKEN!!

    Nope, I have both versions of Preview (Panther & Tiger) on my machine. The Panther version continues to display and print the files just fine (even does that little smothing trick on the tiffs so they look better on screen), the tiger version will display them, but that is about it. It will not...

    Palm And Isync

    You need to remove the palm conduits from the conduits folder. Isync should have done this for you upon detection and installation. I recently converted to Isync from the Entourage conduits, and when running Isync, it asked permission to put the conduits in a disabled conduits folder. My...

    Tiger Preview.app is BROKEN!!

    I use the service eFax. The faxes I get come into my email as a single tiff file. This tiff file can have multiple pages. The old version (pre Tiger) of Preview would open and print these with no problem. Tiger's version of Preview will open them, but will not print them...won't even properly...

    iTunes 4.8 prevents sleep

    I don't use auto sleep, but I use manual sleep every night, as my dual 2.5 blast furnace is in my bedroom. I can no longer manual sleep, or I get one shot at manual sleep. I have located a couple of widgets that prevent it for sure. They are the type that access the web for map updates etc...

    Is there any one knews what OS used on Apple II?

    SHowing my age, I had an Apple II in 1980. It used DOS (Apple DOS) and later used ProDOS. Those were the only official OS for that computer that I can remember. You could run CP/M, but as mentioned earlier, required a card to do so.

    using laptops over 10,000 ft

    The last poster is correct. The difference in pressure between 10k and 12k is very small. It would be safe to say that you should not move the machine around much at all when the HD is spinning. I lived at 10 and 11k for several years in Colorado and has many computers and repaired them as well...

    network drives disconnect after awakening from sleep

    That thread does not really answer the problem. I would think that an advanced OS like OSX could have a delay when waiting for a network to re-register after sleeping. I DO want my blast furnace (dual 2.5 G5) to sleep once in a while to cool the room down. However, I hate having to constantly...

    network drives disconnect after awakening from sleep

    does anyone know how to stop OSX from disconnecting network drives after awakening from a sleep? The network is a wireless airport network, so it takes a second or two to reconnect, meanwhile it scans does not see the drives right away, and always disconnects them. Any way to set a delay before...

    I'm over it. Are you?

    I agree with everyone that a 2.5 PPC runs circles around a 3.5 Pentium...BUT... the general consumer like big numbers. The eyes start to gloss over if you try to explain why 2.5 PPC is better than 3.5 Pentium.... its all about marketing. How about vac cleaners that tout how many amps the...

    Possesed OS X

    I have had this problem before on a powerbook of mine.....twice. The only solution, after days of trying other things was to do a CLEAN INSTALL, not an archive install. THEN, VERY IMPORTANT...upgrade the OS to the version you actually want (eg. install from 10.3.5 cd's then update to 10.3.9)...
