Well, one of the most frustrating things about switching OS's is to find a PGPDisk-like utility. PGPDisk, for those who don't know, is a program that creates an encrypred disk image that one can mount as a Volume and access as one would any disk. The filesystem on the volume is encrypted and...

I'd swear I could do this in the Public Beta, and I don't remember trying it in 10.0.x, but I'm on 10.1 and I want to place a folder that contains aliases on the dock so I can do the click-and-hold to get a sorta-emulated "apple menu" effect of having a pop-up applications list. However, no...

Annoyed at the lack of ability to browse for SMB servers/shares, I just started playing around. I did a "locate smb" from the terminal and was greeted with a program called "mount_smbfs" From the manpage (man mount_smbfs): "mount_smbfs - mounts a shared resource from an SMB file server...

Okay, so I upgraded to 10.1 thrilled that I could, without third party utilities, access my Windows and Linux SAMBA boxes. I also was happy that I'd be able to access legacy Appletalk shares (i.e. Win NT 4). However, when I clicked "Go" and chose to connect to a network share, I was greeted...

All the time. I've even installed OSX without OS9

are these gui clients you use in OSX and OS9 classic only, or are you using Classic versions in OS9 and OSX versions under OSX? I ask because if you're using the OS9 version of, say, Fetch under both 9 and OSX, then in reality you're only using it under 9 in both cases. Trying to narrow down...

Wallstreets are a mixed breed. They were designed before OpenFirmware was fully defined. As such, they do infact have OpenFirmware, but it's not the same as the New World machines, hence the powerbook is consdered and Old World machine. It is possible using Quik (the Linux/PPC bootloader...

So I have this Pismo (PowerBook G3/Firewire) at 500MHz with 256M of RAM (original Apple RAM) and an IBM Travelstar 20G drive and an Airport card and a DVD-ROM. The only component not from Apple is the IBM Travelstar. Under 9.2.1 the Pismo runs poifect. No problems what so ever. But OSX...

first question is what kind of connection? I.e. is the Windows client on an ethernet connection going over a T-1 and the Mac using Airport over some other connection? Does this happen to every site, or just a few? What FTP client on the mac? I know fetch is pretty good. I didn't like...

Anyone who couldn't tell it was a joke deserved to be fooled ;-)

I've had that happen countless times under OSX just running OSX apps. Have found tons of articles on people experiencing the problems, but no TIL on it or any resolution.

Not that I disagree, but XP is $199 for the "professional" upgrade, $599 for the full version. Compare to $30 for Windows95 when it came out, that really sucks. I'm also curious as to why Apple calls Mac OS X with the numbers "Mac OS X 10.0" and "Mac OS X 10.1" etc. Wouldn't it be "Mac OS...

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I called Apple and, of course, while the tech was on the phone nothing happened, but started up again when I hung up. For me, I can repeat this issue by doing the following: Click on a finder window clicking "View" and "Show View Options"...

I didn't consider hardware b/c things worked fine under 9, but on a whim I took out the ram chip under the logic board and put in a new one from a ThinkPad. Mac works perfectly now. Unfortuantely, it goes all haywire again if I put any type of RAM chip in the upper slot--I put an identical...

Hello, I was thrilled to get my hands on a Pismo, as I had a Wallstreet and OSX was painfully slow on the Wallstreet. I installed OSX on my Pismo and it's been nothing but trouble. First off, every app crashes when I launch it. I'm talking IE, OmniWeb, System Preferences, Terminal...

I find it inexcusable really that there isn't at least some sort of beta PCMCIA support. I mean, they're using netbsd as the reference platform for Darwin. NetBSD has had PCMCIA support for quite a while. but, alas, I suppose they have their reasons. Until then I'll just be dragging my...

As of 10.0.3 pcmcia is still not supported in OSX.

What I'd like to know is how to make a desktop picture or at least change the blue if you've disabled the desktop (never liked the "desktop" idea anyway, too messy and cluttered)

open up terminal.app, su to root, type "cd /System/Library/..." until you're in the folder, the type "cp left.pdf ~/left.pdf" and the same for center and right (this copies the originals to your home folder. Edit the pdfs in photoshop, then from terminal.app just reverse the cp: "cp ~/left.pdf...

Unfortuantely it doesn't support swap partitions. It's rather stupid of Apple, really, to not at least include the support, even if it's off by default. It's not like they had to figure out how to it, I mean they're using NetBSD as their reference platform so they have access to all the code...
