It seams like a good update so far, only one missing feature in my mind. The feature they could have put in instead of all these others if you ask me : AAC support. But it's comming. Anyway, does anyone know what the Alarms are for? Is it to do with the calendar? If so does anyone know a good...

This is taken from Apple's iPod site. Looks like they are getting ready to release it. I was thinking it was just a matter of releasing finnished firmware, but ofcourse, the firmware on the new iPod's won't work on the old ones. So they have to write a backward compatible one for us old podders.

I read somewhere from someone that had been developing software for the platform iPod uses, PIXO is it? Anyway, he said that they had developed an AAC decoder for that platform and that it used less processing power than MP3 decoders. So that sounds like good news, just a question of when Apple...

I need to draw a diagram. (I am turning a van into a camper and I need to visualise my ideas.) All I need is a lightweight vector based drawing program, like the one that's built into Claris Works. Is there anything like that available in the shareware/freeware market for Mac OS X? I tried iDraw...

Hello, I hope this topic hasn't been covered yet, if it has, I'm sorry but I didn't know what to search for. I want to know quite simply what the default layout of the unix part of my HD should be, and how this works together with OSX. The problem is that I have for example the bin folder...

Fire is a great app. But not a substitute to Gerrys ICQ. I still run it in Classic mode because it is the greatest ICQ app for Mac. Sorry I just can't stand the hiddeous look of the official client!! The thing is with fire is that you don't have the specific parts of each service, MSN is...

Nope, doesn't work. The eject button (F12) works infact, I thought that was only on the iBook :) But the F14 and F15 buttons don't do anything. Unless I have to be in a cocoa app for it to work. In that case I have to confess that I don't have a single cocoa app running :( :D

Very interesting post, thanks! As you say I must completely rethink how my OS works. It isn't until I have left OS9 that I realise what an utter sense of security it is to know pretty much what the OS is doing! For all I know OSX is now running all sorts of interesting things I have little or no...

I know all this but what disturbs me is that OSX is performing badly, and that I have pageouts with 576 mb of RAM!! I guess some apps feel it is better to use HD ram for some reason, or maybe it has to do with OSX memory management, just like Modern Memory Management under OS9 which suggested to...

That makes sense, but this seems to steal performance from already running applications, thats no good! :)

Is there a way to flush OSX from unwanted memory allocations and running processes? I am currently running Finder, IE, and the terminal. Using the command "top" in the terminal I can see what OSX is really doing. Here I see that I have 34 processes, only 2 of which are running, the rest are...

I think the Docks functionality is ok. Before OSX I used an app called Malph, a freeware launcher by a guy that works for apple. I had it set up to 16x16 icons, and placed it in my bottom left corner, growing towards the right. Now it will take alot of apps to fill my 1200 screen width with...

1073741824 bytes transferred in 45 secs (23860929 bytes/sec) Unfortunatly I couldn't get it to read it back. Anyway, this is the largest partition of my new 80gb Western Digital IDEI, connected to my ATA100 card. The specs of the HD are, 7200 rpm, and 8.9 ms access time. I am running a 300Mhz...

Hi, long time reader first time poster..... :D I have a question about 10.1. I remember that in 10.04 although everything was painfully slow there was one thing that anoyed me even more. I am not sure if it was memory fragmentation that created this problem. But the problem is that you can't...

I just want to say my ipinon on the right mouse button. I don't have one right now, because my kensington trackball died, after several years of serving me. A replacement is on its way, not a kensington this time though. Anwyay, back to the subject. I have realy missed that second button (the...

I just got the MacOS X beta today, and I was SO happy! Until i tried to install it that is :( It got to the bsd subsystem, about half way on that one it stoped and put this text above the status bar: "There where errors in the installation. operation failed" Or something very simmilar. I...
