    direct cd burning

    You don't even need a reader *and* a writer. Insert the Audio CD into the writer, in Toast, select "Copy". Click "Record". After Toast is finished preparing the disk, it will eject the Audio CD and ask you to insert a blank one. It's *that* easy. You don't even need more than *one*...

    Deleting large files cause a bomb.

    Sorry for not coming back to you earlier but the pages seemed to be unavailable for a while. Congrats for being able to empty the trash again :) So the culpable *was* the Symantec kernel extension. It would have sufficed to remove the SymOSXKernelUtilities file (located in...

    Deleting large files cause a bomb.

    Are you getting a kernel panic ? If so, see what it says. Does it say anyting about "kext" "modules" or the like. I had the same problem after updating to 10.1.5. The culpable was a Symantec Kernel Extension. You should check that before you mess around with any "Repair Utilities". All except...

    trying to get my fonts to work...and failing miserably!

    Well, you probably know anyway that, under OS X, fonts belong in /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts. Perhaps they are specific fonts that only work with Adobe products ? Try using them in AppleWorks or Word...

    Avi...

    Also, you might wish to check out this little app. It allows you to play both DivX and MS-MPEG 4 encoded .avi files. Tell me if you're still having trouble installing DivX Doctor...

    Avi...

    The biggest problem with .avi files you get when they're DivX encoded. Go here and download DivX doctor. On that page you'll also find links for where to get the latest codecs for QT. That should fix most of your problems. Note however, that sound can still be an issue since .avi files have a...

    Moz/Netscape... window behaviour

    When you open a new navigator window in Mozilla or Netscape, it doesn't pop up right above any other open windows but moves slightly down and (in my case) to the right. While some ppl might think this useful, I found it extremely annoying since it means that windows will travel down the screen...

    Quartz Extreme - is Apple on Crack?

    Are you trying to tell me you're not ? Navigation is *so* much more efficient in X ! Getting to a file in X (Column view) is so much faster. I used file browsers in 9 that were but a poor excuse compared to the Finder in X. Granted, the Finder needs refinements but is a whole leap forward as...

    Netscape Web account + Mail

    Okay, last time I didn't get any answers so here I go again... Has anybody had any success in downloading mail from a ...@netscape.net account other than with NETSCAPE browser/mailer? I set up an account in Mail and it does check, doesn't give an error but also, never downloads anything...

    .mpg  .mpg ?

    Okay, so here it is : I've got some .mpg files that I can easily use to make a VCD with Toast. With some (that are also playable in QT) it doesn't work. When I try to use QT to convert them to Toast VCD format, it tells me that it cannot find a video track (?). So please, good people, can...

    IP telephony and Mac OS X ?

    dricci and MacFreak88, thank you for your replies. Well, DialPad doesn't really work too well and anyway, the company seems to be bankrupt. "Empower Pro Phone" is nice but lets you only connect with other Mac users (which is a good start but not what I've been looking for). I actually found...

    IP telephony and Mac OS X ?

    Any news on IP telephony on Mac OS X ? Telephony hasn't been one of the Macs strong points in recent years... Does anybody kow if it's at all possible on (MacOS) X ? That is, are there any apps for it out there ?

    File disappeared after copy

    Did you use a utility like FileBuddy to make sure the file wasn't accidentally made invisible ?

    Restore Cds

    I'm not 100% sure but it's certainly not the checksum. I think the installer (or whatever programme launches first) reads in the specs of the older machines and refuses to work. After all, the SW restore CDs may include Firmware updates etc. that aren't suitable for older iMacs

    A soft router for OS X ?

    What sort of DSL modem do you have? Connected by ethernet, or USB? Is it a DSL router or simply a modem(for lack of a better term) >Connected by ethernet. It's a modem+splitter... Does your DSL modem/router have a static ip or dynamic? Does it assign your main computer with an ip via DHCP...

    Font Organization

    There's also "Fontreserve" which IMO is the best font utility for OS X right now. http://www.fontreserve.com/

    Mac RAM

    It can be true :(. First off, while DDR RAM is sweet, it's not everything. Even some supposedly powerful PC servers (!) don't use it. Apple's server (Xserve) does. So, expect the next revision of the G4 line to feature DDR Ram. As for RAM prices, I don't know where you've been looking but...

    A soft router for OS X ?

    Hi all, I would like to use my DSL line with both my G4 desktop and my iBook. A second network card is there. Now, does anybody know of a good software router ? (Any further tips on this subject are also appreciated). Thanks

    Has anyone been successful at using a Netscape WebMail account (imap) with Apple's Mail app ? Despite specifying the respective servers (imap.mail.netcenter.com, etc.) it doesn't seem to work. Anybody ?
