Anybody know a way to slap the system upside the head and get it to start playing sounds again? My system stopped emitting sounds (alerts and iTunes) after it woke from sleep. I'm afraid to reboot because of other ongoing problems with my system where a reboot = { reinstall 10, upgrade to...

It's getting so that every time I have to reboot, I have to reinstall Mac OS X. It started a few days ago. The system was churning (uptime 10 days) and taking forever to do simple things. I rebooted the system. It came back with the Blinking Icon in a Floppy Disk. Using a Windoze machine...

That would be lovely but I've seen nothing like it. I've only read one acknowledgement of this problem, and it was from the good guys at BBedit -- their 6.1.2 upgrade now has ~5 paragraphs about getting bbedit to open files (you can "map the file name") under Mac OS X. About actually changing...

OmniWeb is the best, with a great interface and very nice features for a web developer -- the view source, edit source, re-render feature really simplifies finding code and html problems. However, at times its ram utilization (256m RAM, Mac OS X 10.0.3, Titainum PB) goes up to 60%, and it churns...

There is nothing more tiresome than scrolling through pages and pages of other people's config info. Especially if you're trying to read the two sentences per post to figure out how to pin a dock or make terminal transparent. What I would do is keep the config handy on a sticky and paste it...

Do'h! Hard Drive/Developer/Applications/IconComposer If you installed the Developer CD, then you have this nifty application too. It answers all my icon-creation needs, which are modest. It only took me 2 months to figure out -- thanks, Mac Addict! Anyways, I now have a good quality set...

New software, "Autocompleter," which I found through VersionTracker: http://www.catchysoftware.com/autocompleter/ I've just downloaded it and haven't tried it out. Hope it's good! It's shareware, US$15.

I also had the Seti screensaver active when I started this thread. After my 2nd reboot, the vert.banding probs went away. Later that day (or the next, I forget), I finally dragged seti to the trash due to unrelated issues. For my own system, TiG4 v10.0.2 256mRAM 10G HD, seti and...

I know what you mean. My company has sun solaris webservers where uptime is routinely >250 days. When we're lucky we reboot about once annually. 7:52pm up 287 day(s), 18:09, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 [in EST] This is what I'm aiming for w/ Mac OS X. To the OS's credit...

...And then, just as suddenly, the problem is gone. I was at a stopping point so I made another reboot (2nd since 10.0.2 upgrade) and now I can drag windows without the display going to hell. Another problem -- dragging files to their applications on the (hidden) dock wasn't working. It's...

Installed the 10.0.2 update last night, as well as iTunes 1.1.1. This morning, I wake the machine from sleep, login, and connect to the internet. I don't know why, but the computer *feels* faster. But there's a new problem: ANY window I drag, the contents (but not the title bar) are...

iCab pre 2.4 -- good and fast, but crashes at inopportune times. Often crashes when I hit cmd-f for find. Actually, found it too unstable to use often. Still waiting for a stable version; loved it under 9 -- so fast and sleek. OmniWeb 4.0 -- crashes about once every 2 days of hard and ongoing...

That IS a cool idea. [a] drag-n-drop: drag files off telnet window to the finder [b] macros -- define commands or file locations resident *in the console* (not symlinks, aliases, etc.) for quick access [c] point-and-click -- option-click files and select "Edit" from the popup menu to...

a: bbedit wasn't out for X when I needed to change zillions of files' newlines. Before that I had BBedit 5.1 which was giving me headaches under classic. Pepper doesn't launch for me, and Jedit confuses my BBedit sensibilities (though it's a great program!!). b: b.1: bbedit allows recursive...

NekkoOnDesktop is a small application which puts cartoon cats on your screen. They romp and play. It's a cute diversion. When the app is active, its Dock icon is animated. It shows a statistical graph for each cat; when it switches cats the graphs scroll vertically. What with this app's...

FYI -- the Jennifer Lopez icon is her upper torso. She's wearing a sports bra and boxing gloves. She's in the middle of throwing a punch. RATED G. *Sorry* :)

NOTE: script also ignores directories if they have a space in their name. I find this useful for when I want the script to skip certain directories.

http://www.KineticCreations.com/exporticon/index.html Good photoshop plugin. Though it's a plugin for a Classic app (photoshop) it still makes 128x128 icons with masking. So... I got my Jennifer Lopez icon. It's attached below as a stuffit file (though I renamed the file to *.zip to obey...

Here's another starting place... it's the xicon bboard and it has a few dozen posts... http://xicons.community.everyone.net/commun_v3/scripts/topics.pl?NodeID=245097&ClientID=694368

Help! Has anybody seen a tutorial for making jumbo icons? I just need to make a few icons, 128x128 with masking, and I don't want to spend money to do it. I've searched many places for this info, but unfortunately "icon" is one of the more common words in the Mac lexicon. All I want is...
