    Hmmm... Depends on what the defination of "exactly" "is"... Neither WAV nor AIFF are codecs. (See the FLAC FAQ) Also both have been around longer than FLAC...

    Tiger Upgrade For 800mhz G3?

    Wait a minute! He did not say if that machine is current running OS 9 or some flavor of OS X. If it's running OS 9, then the changes will be huge and his wife will be pissed!

    Lost Email In Entourage

    Also make regular backups of your Entourage data files, since that's where it keeps "local" copies of your email. On OS X these files are in ~<home_directory>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/

    Lost Email In Entourage

    Whenever you have more than one computer accessing the same email box, always make sure one of them is set to "leave messages on server". Also carefully check the settings related to deleting from server when deleting locally.

    Powerbook Harddrive Full- But Not Really.

    Use the terminal to see if there are any hidden files starting with a dot ".". Do this by doing an "ls -la" of the directory. There almost certainly will be a ".DS_Store", but thier might be something else. If there is another dot file there, it might be a temp file that is placed during the...

    Sudden Trouble With Entourage X For Mac

    I've been using various versions of Entourage for years, and periodically it gets corrupted. Try running it's database cleanup tool in the Office X/Office folder. That' might magically fix it.

    The <bgsound...> html tag, .wav's, and Safari

    Also, .wav is a Window file format. You might have better luck converting it to something more universal like an .mp3...

    Sound

    <wild_speculation> If you use the headphone jack a lot, maybe the connector inside is bent and making periodic contact... thus cutting the internal speaker and sending it to a phantom headphone? </wild_speculation>

    Old Imac G3 Question

    BTW, there is not such thing as "iMac OS". iMac is the name of the hardware. The OS is named Mac OS... Either Mac OS 9, or Mac OS X. ;)

    Urgent!! My Home Folder: I can't get into it!

    I think you just identified your own problem. If you create a LtBurns user, and put all your stuff there... You will not be able to access that LtBurns "home" with your new "family" account because that's effectively a differnt user. Log back in as LtBurns, and voila you'll have full access to...

    External Monitor On An Old Imac

    Are you sure he doesn't just have one hiddent under the mentioned "vented cover"? Also, just to clarify some PC's DO use USB to connect monitors... I know it seems weird, but they do do it: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000030051629/

    No more poll in the forum

    I think the question is how come us normal users no longer seem to have the option to create a poll? Has this option been limited to admins and moderators only? Are the permissions for this option different in each sub-formum? (Sort of like images is?)

    Classic not seeing HD

    When you put the 40GB drive in the machine did you correctly reset it as the ATA "slave" vs. "master"?

    Dividing a large file on two CDs

    Like bobw my first thought was StuffIt, since that has been the answer to this question as long as I've been using Macs. But I have to say, I really like the unix spit --> cat solution... I just love these things hidden in our "all powerful" OS. Seems like it would be trivial for someone to...

    Which Powermac G4 to run OSX?

    So I have a single 867MHz with 1GB of RAM. In my case, I always max out my CPU before maxing out the RAM. (I usually hover near 700MB or RAM in use.) I uses this machine to host a very low traffic web site + all of my day-to-day web surfing, email, etc... IMHO, 500MHz might be too slow...
