    10.2: why does it take 25 seconds to sleep my powerbook?

    Let me guess.. upi updated over your existing 10.1.5 installation? If so, I have read tons of times that upgrading does't work nearly as well as a clean install. Just installed 10.2 on two machines. One was an upgrade and the other a clean install. The difference is like night and day. The...

    Powerbook Battery drain after 10.2 update

    After installing 10.2 on my new TiBook I noticed a significant difference when running off of battery. I usually never shut down my PB but instead put it in sleep mode all the the time. After the update the battery was depleted MUCH faster than under 10.1.5. I can usually leave it in sleep mode...

    Arranging two monitors

    I have the same problem. Put a 32MB card in my G4 and under 10.5 it seems to forget how the monitors are arranged at times. All drivers for my monitor work and the card is brand new. I also noticed that the startup screen varies from left to right... Unpredictable butsort of fun...

    Quartz Extreme - is Apple on Crack?

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File browsing is fine, I'm helped by the preview functions (browsing images and getting the preview is great !) though not perfect ones (I often get some garbled previews of TIFF with LZW for instance)...

    Quartz Extreme - is Apple on Crack?

    <b>1st... have you tryed Windows XP?? (toylike OS) </b> I never compared the two because I have been an Apple user for 12 years. I am just concerned that Apple is making a bad decision here. <b>2nd You don't like ..that makes it crap?? </b> www.macintouch.com has pages and pages of post...

    Quartz Extreme - is Apple on Crack?

    I have been reading about the Quartz Extreme controversy on Mac related sites but haven't really seem much talk about it here so I am posting this thread. My question is if Apple is simply on crack and is working in a wrong direction. For those who haven't heard: Quartz Extreme will yet...

    Printing has slowed to a crawl...

    I don't have a solution to your problem but I too have been having a hard time to get OSX to work well with my Epson C60. Only 1 in every 4 print jobs will actually be executed and only after I stop the que (upon receiving an error message) and restarting it. My guess is that Epson hasn't...

    Verizon DSL commercial SHOWING OS X!¿

    On another note - I noticed how Verizon gets slow the longer the connection of my Firewall is alive. After I disconnect the power and plug it back its back to the old full 760K speed again. Anyone with the same prob? Might be the wrong forum for it but thought I'd ask. G

    Verizon DSL commercial SHOWING OS X!¿

    My personal opinion is that Verizon's ad agency wanted to be hip and get some attention by using one of the more snazzy looking computers out there. And why not show Mac OS X in their ads. It works great with OS X - got it working within mintutes like a charm. In fact the slow connection...

    Screen Shot to Clipboard

    AAAAAAAHHHH! You are my savior!!! =) Here is the difference between OS 9 and X: OS 9 allowed you to just press Shift-Command-4 and then while selecting the screen area press control. OS X apparently requires you to press all four keys at one... Thanks a bunch for the eye-opening... =) G

    Screen Shot to Clipboard

    It does save the screenarea - but it saves it to a file and not to the clipboard. Am I going nuts now? You can grab a screenshot directly to the clipboard??????? G

    Screen Shot to Clipboard

    I basically lived off of the Screenshot to clipboard (Shift - Command - 4 and then holding the control key) function to put together quick compositions in Photoshop. Since X this feature seems gone. As a workaround I have the Grab applicaton in my dock which at least allows me to select a...

    iPhoto Book Printing

    I took pictures with a Sony PC110 Camcorder at 1.55 Megapixels. I order book through iPhoto with 15 pages and realized two things: (1) I DEFINITELY need a new camera because 1.55 just ain't cutting it. (2) The book is EXPENSIVE. It cost $55 and included shipping. Overall, I think it's...

    Mounting external Firewire HDD

    I have two OSX machines setup each with their own external 60GB harddrives. I formatted one of the harddrives to be mountable with Anubis Pro and the other one just with the Apple driver. The one formatted with the Apple driver will not boot up no matter what through it mounts fine. Not even...

    10.1.3 Observation....

    I updated to 10.1.3 on all of my three machines but can't see a damn thing changed. Maybe that's good but I wish Apple was a little more descriptive in the SOftware Update dialogue box. After all, they are asking users to download 30MB for 10.1.2 and not another 17MB for 10.1.3. That's a whole...

    Damn! This site is fast... (under Windows)

    Just downloaded Opera 5 and I love it. The scrolling is awesome and speed and reliability is much better than in IE. What's up with Mozilla - who the hell cared. Anyone notice how long it takes mozilla or Netscape 6.2 to start? I don't have all day. G

    Mac OS X in Linux Lan or Windows Lan

    Forget Dave! Used it for a while until I discovered it was the source of all evil on my machine. Runs very buggy under classic mode and in OS 9.x. Don't want to even touch the OSX version. They are out of business anyway since there are so manu workarounds. I have my OSX machine running on a...

    Cable Modem and Belkin Gateway - Disconnected Often

    I don't have an immediate answer for your problem but I can report a similar issue with a Belkin product. I have a standard DSL connection and the Belkin DLS router/gateway running and after some time the download or upload gets incredibly slow. Sometime the connection stops altogether although...
