    Can "iMac Computer" Finder icon be changed to G4 Cube??

    Even if no one likes his site I am gonna give you his other contribution to the Mac OS X community. And if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, OK? Or at least don't be derogatory about it. I mean we're supposed to be helping one another here right? *NOTE: Elemental Aqua...

    Can "iMac Computer" Finder icon be changed to G4 Cube??

    You know I did say "search this guy's page" for a reason. I like it because it doesn't follow normal conventions. So what? It wasn't made to be accessible to the point you can drop in and out... Take a minute to look at something not related directly to the task at hand. In any case, now that...

    Can "iMac Computer" Finder icon be changed to G4 Cube??

    First, search this guy's page as he has a few killer icons for your new toolbar: http://homepage.mac.com/jblakeh1/ Second, I think I can help here, the icons reside in this directory: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/ Good Luck and show us your results!

    Using Mac OS X as a file server and for FTP... need help!

    I have a similar situation but different purpose, same partitioning scheme. What I have done is use the 20GB partition for my files and documents, and have replaced all references to the user's documents folder in OS X with an alias pointing to the partition, directory or file. This is more...

    Problem with 'optimising the system'

    There is no progress bar in the terminal or in single user mode. Do you mind explaining?

    Problem with 'optimising the system'

    I am running as follows: G4 450 DP/MP 448 MB RAM 3+ GB Free space on OS X partition. Does this qualify as "about 256 ram, and a lot of hd space"?

    Icon Previews

    Hey PlaidPajamas: I did not defragment my drive as it seems unreasonable to require this after a fresh install of an OS. If otherwise, let me know (and which utility works best with OS X?) I have all applicable firmware updates (as noted in my signature {grin}) I also have the .0.1...

    Icon Previews

    Answers (Polar Opposite): 1. OS X on my G4 450 DP/MP (448 MB RAM) is OK but not as smooth as OS 9.1 by far. Window scrolling is OK but resizing is agonizingly slow and any disk access (Mine is a 30 GB, 7200 RPM drive from Apple) seems to be slow. Programs run quickly; Classic apps are...

    Problem with 'optimising the system'

    OK I tried this again, I knew better, and OS X told me I should have listened to myself and then it threw up on my nice new tie. I was denied access to applications, folders, and partitions with what seemed to be no pattern at all. Booted into single user mode (option+s, right?) and noticed...

    Super Quiet G4 Cube!!

    Sorry to be a booger but I do know that you are probably mistaken about that CPU overhead bit in that their are not any Firewire native devices available on the market today (to the best of my knowledge); all devices (hard disks, cd/dvd-rom/r/rw/ram, zip, tape drive, etc.) to date use some sort...

    The Gigantic icon!

    I hope you haven't been playing around with the system like it lists here: http://www.macaddict.com/content/news/2001/04/05/29633 'Cause that would mean you were trying to pull one over on us!

    Problem with 'optimising the system'

    Got a similar freeze when running the command from MOSR about prebinding for optimization purposes... Mine ended up in kernel panic. Let me know if you want specifics.

    Dual Display needs to be configured everytime

    What? If you are saying what I think you are, setting both monitors to run at 74.9Hz is not an option. As I mentioned before the refresh rates listed were "known good rates that I can use in OS 9.1", and I am unable to use them in OS X. Again: I cannot use the previously mentioned refresh...

    Dual Display needs to be configured everytime

    I have had a bit of the same problem... OK the only thing that is the same is the fact we are both using OS X and and an OEM ATI Rage card. I have a G4 450 DP with an additional IX Micro Ultimate Rez card installed pre-OS X. My problem is that I cannot change the refresh rates to known good...

    AbiWord

    *NOTE: this is a guess... I have picked up in the forums or from chat or somewhere that OS X cannot decide "what to call itself. Sometimes it thinks it is darwin, others OS X, other times bsd..." The context was regarding the host name, other than that I have no clue. Perhaps this refers...

    Fwee... I'm not such a complaining kind of guy, but...

    ...I totally understand. Where are my options? Was the idea of Aqua to make us seasick? Before you read any further, if you are planning to bash me or flame me 'cause "I can't see the (future, advantages, genius, whatever)" don't bother, I applaud the advancement of a UNIX core and all that...

    Repeatable Crash in OS X

    I don't have any trouble when using Fire, the über-messenger from <a href=http://www.epicware.com/fire.html>Epicware<a> It supports AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber all in one application... You should give it a whirl if it is indeed a software problem (or if you just want an all in one solution)
