    Keeping a permanent wireless connection under Leopard.

    Thank you very much. I checked these steps, and it turns out that this is exactly the way that I already have my wireless network set up. And actually, there is no other network to compete with it (in other words, the wireless network is the only one in the Preferred Networks list). Can...

    Keeping a permanent wireless connection under Leopard.

    I'm running Leopard on a MacBook Pro. I'm using the AirPort to maintain a wireless connection. I notice from time to time that the connection goes down. I understand that this could be due to vagaries with my wireless router, or interference from other devices in my vicinity. And under...

    Disabling Stacks?

    Oh well ... (sigh) ... But I wouldn't be surprised if some day, someone comes out with a 3rd-party app to tweak this. Thanks. .

    Disabling Stacks?

    Thanks, but I'm talking about Stacks, not Spaces. Actually, I like Spaces! .

    Disabling Stacks?

    Thanks, but I want things to remain in the dock ... I just don't want the Stacks view when I left-click with my Mighty Mouse on the folder icon in the dock. Yes, I know, I suppose I just shouldn't left-click on folders in the dock (it's like the old joke: "Doctor, it hurts when I move my arm...

    Leopard on MacBook Pro: remapping delete key in Terminal?

    Never mind on this. Delete sends Ctrl-H does indeed work. I was doing something else wrong. I'm sorry for the false alarm. .

    Extracting the icon from an .app file?

    I'd like to extract the icon from an .app file under Leopard. I know how to get Info about the application and then select the icon for copying as the icon of a different application, but what I'd like to do is create a stand-alone file which contains the given application's icon image, such as...

    Leopard on MacBook Pro: remapping delete key in Terminal?

    On my MacBook Pro running Leopard, I'm trying to remap the delete key so that it sends a ^H instead of a ^? in the Terminal application. I went to System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts and tried to add a new entry under Application Keyboard Shortcuts for the Terminal...

    MacBook Pro AirPort to Netgear RangeMax 240?

    Never mind: I figured out the problem. I overlooked a key instruction in the documentation: to set up the router, I have to do it via a wired connection. Duh! Once I did that, I could configure all the password and IP parameters. I'm sorry for the bandwidth.

    MacBook Pro AirPort to Netgear RangeMax 240?

    I have a MacBook Pro running macosx 10.4, and I have an AirPort card which supports 802.11g. I'm trying to establish a wireless connection to a Netgear RangeMax 240 (WPNT834) which also supports 802.11g, but I'm having problems, even though the specs for that piece of hardware specify that it...

    "choose file" from a specific folder in AppleScript

    I'm using OSX 10.4 on a MacBook Pro. I've been looking all over the internet for an answer to the following question, and I haven't been able to find any. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to point me to some online documentation which could help me. In AppleScript, whenever I issue...

    As an alternative, is it possible to cause the window shadowing effects to be done in light colors instead of dark?

    Border at the left and bottom of Terminal window?

    By default, the Terminal app in OS X on my MacBook Pro has the title bar on top and a scrollbar on the right, and just a shadow effect at the left and the bottom. In addition to these, I'd like to see a narrow border on the left and at the bottom. Is it possible to configure Terminal to show...

    Plain black desktop

    Thanks. That did the trick. By the way, is this and other similar info documented anywhere? It seems rather basic, and I don't want to bother the forum with such fundamental questions.

    Plain black desktop

    I'm running OS X on a MacBook Pro. Could someone point me to the instructions for setting up my desktop to be a plain, solid color of my choosing (as opposed to the "Solid Colors" offered to me in the preferences)? I want basic black. Thanks in advance.

    Airport Extreme base station behind my router?

    Thanks a lot to both of you! To Satcom ... I'll give your configuration a try. At worst, if it fails for some reason, I guess I could just use the base station in place of my current router, seeing as how I could use its two extra ports for my wired connections. ... and I'll definitely...

    Airport Extreme base station behind my router?

    Since before I got my MacBook Pro, I've been running a couple of Linux boxes with static IP's via DSL. I have a router inside of my DSL modem that manages this little network. Now, I've plugged my MacBook Pro into this network, and it works fine (I have three static IP's). However, I want...
