Hi-- I have a problem. I created a user, and now I want to delete it... but it just won't go away! The first time I did it, it added " Deleted" to the end of the user's home folder, but it doesn't remove the user from the list of users in the Users preference pane, or the login window. Of...

I'm not sure why I'm getting choppy playback either. I will probably try again some time and mess around with some things to see if I can get better results. For now, I can watch it on my screen. I've got a 17" monitor, which is only 2" smaller than my TV anyway. :) ...man, a superdrive...

Well, I tried it and it worked... sort of. I guess I didn't realize how long it takes to convert a long DivX movie to MPEG (like 5 or 6 hours for 90 minutes or so). Once it is converted, the quality has been taken down-- and the size of the movie has been reduced to about 320x240. In...

All right, I'll give things a try and post my results. Thanks for the reply.

Ahh... stupid me. Obviously Sherlock won't find that. :-) Well, I got it to work-- thanks for your help.

Would it be at all easy to convert a DivX movie to an MPG format that I could burn onto a CD in VCD format (with Toast)? What would I use? Anybody have any info on this? Thanks!

I searched my disk-- there is no httpd.conf on my hard drive! I suppose this isn't a good thing? It seems to be working fine on port 80, btw-- I've had no problems.

Okay, I would like to to change the port I am serving up web pages on from the default of 80 to something different-- how can I do this? I've looked all over the Apache documentation and I can't seem to find anything.

Yes, I know this. The problem is that I want to use my desktop folder-- I just don't want to see it on the Desktop. I still have it set as my download location, etc. So I like how I can turn off the Desktop with TinkerTool-- and I'm going to keep it up. I just hate to give up my desktop...

Ahh, I see. If ya ever get that working, put up a post on how you went about it! I'm sure there are others that will be interested.

scope... do you have two cd drives in your g4 tower??? Just wondering, because I have an two cd drives that I want to have installed into my g4... obviously, that's sort of a problem because the second slot there is too small. I'm looking for people who have accomplished doing this.

Okay, I turned off my desktop via Tinkertool... it's really great-- I prefer having it this way. The problem is that I now don't have a desktop background with the desktop turned off-- it's the same solid light blue colored background you see when OS X boots up... Anybody know of a way to...

1. Pop-up folders 2. Spring-loaded folders 3. Backgrounds on text on the desktop (and in folders too), rather than just white text with a drop shadow... or maybe an option to change the color of the text. You can't have a light colored desktop, it looks like crap and it's hard to read! 4...

Ya know, Apple also doesn't let people watch QuickTime movies in RealPlayer or Windows Media Player, either... I really don't like all three of these formats (QT, Real, WMF) because they are proprietary. (Although QuickTime is a better format by far than the other two)... I would much rather...

On my Mac (G4 533 w/ 10.1.1), run-only (or saved as application) AppleScripts always 'unexpectedly quit' before they even have a chance to run. I was seeing this problem before when I was writing some scripts, but I've also seen the same problem when I downloaded an AppleScript application...

Hi-- I've got a G4 533 (gigabit ethernet). It shipped with a CD-ROM drive, and then I went out and bought a Plextor 16/10/40a CD-RW. I couldn't believe it when I first opened up the G4 to find that the slot right under the CD slot was tiny, so you could only fit a zip drive or disk drive in...

Assuming you're not connecting with a modem... go to System Preferences / Network. In the TCP/IP tab, choose to configure manually, and in all the fields, fill in 0.0.0.0 for ip addresses. Then make sure appletalk/file sharing and everything is turned off too (if you want). I'm pretty...

Sweeeeet. Hopefully there will be a little checkbox in the prefs window to toggle this in future versions, rather than having to edit text files! :) Thanks a lot.

I was planning on trying that today! I think I'll be doing it. Thanx!

Javintosh-- how are you getting Mozilla to disable popup ads? I have looked through the prefs and everything and can't seem to find any options to do this. ...also, Mozilla can filter images out by what server they are coming from, but does anyone know if I can make it match certain parts of...
