Here's a couple of features from iGetter that I have yet to find in SD2. In iG either from in the app or just from its dock icon I can set it to automatically reconnect to my ISP if I get disconnected, e.g. after 4 hour limit, then disconnect from the ISP when finished downloading. For me this...

Since reading this post I've been giving it a try, but I think I'm going to go back to iGetter. To me it just has much better browser integration and I like the dock controls. After using iGetter for so long Speed Download just seems clunky (although it does seem a tad faster).

I have read a detailed description of this somewhere and I'm pretty sure I remember that it was a limitation imposed by the OS itself, not by any 3rd party applications.

This feature is called packet writing and as yet it is not available for mac os x. It basically means you can treat your cd-rw as if it was a floppy or other removable drive. I remember once seeing a very detailed discussion as to why this wasn't available but I can't remember the details...

To access the vi editor you just type vi plus the file you want to edit, i.e. vi /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (edit: that's just a single space between the vi and /Applications) BTW thanks for bringing this up. I'd been thinking for ages I wanted to change my search engine to...

To shut down from the terminal type sudo shutdown -h now

I think you are confusing inactive RAM with not available. To see how much RAM is available you should add inactive and free. e.g. at the moment I have 50.0M wired, 100M active, 181M inactive, 331M used, 181M free, so although top reports I only have 181 MB free, I actually have 362...

If you're running 10.2 (I'm not sure about other versions) Apple has a good little utility called Keychain First Aid which will fix any issues with your keychain (as the name suggests). Its a free download, I can't remember now if I downloaded it from the downloads page or the support page, but...

OK, me and my partner have just recently purchased a Coolpix 4300 and we're using Nikon View 6.0.1. In the Quick Start Guide that came with the camera there is a special note for OSX users to open Image Capture and select Preferences and in the "Camera Preferences" area select "No application"...

The way I do it (in 10.2.8) is hold down the command key and then tab between the open applications, pressing the q button at any application I want to quit. Its not a single key combo but I've got it down to way less than a second to quit 4 or 5 running apps.

Are you trying to do this from the Install CD as per my above post? If so you have some serious problems with your OS. As stated above you can not repair the disk that you started up from, so disk utility can't repair the startup disk.

You can't repair the startup disk so you'll either have to run disk utility from the Install CD (available from under the installer menu) OR run fsck from single user mode as outline above. fsck is exactly the same process as Disk Utility's repair disk, just without the pretty interface.

G'day again. Quick question - did you install the security update before installing 10.1.5? According to Apple's site you have to first install the security update which is located at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75304. Good luck. 10.1.5 was very stable for me, its just not...

Try this. Boot into single user mode by holding down the Apple and S keys straight after the startup chime. When you get a >prompt type "fsck -y" keep doing this until it says your disk appears ok. Now type "mount -uw /" and at the next prompt type "SystemStarter" when all that has finished...

You can also set it to check for mail automatically at startup by going Tools > Run Schedule > Add Schedule. The click on new and use the pull-down menu to connect automatically at startup if connected. You can then add a new rule to check however often you like.

Once you've done this once use that same pull down menu to either "Save custom setting" (10.1.x) or "Save as..." (10.2.x). Unfortunately 10.1 will only let you save 1 custom setting but 10.2 will let you save as many settings as you like - I assume this is carried through to 10.3 Once you get...

The easiest way is to connect to the server and mount the volume. Then go System Preferences > Login Items and drag it into the pane. I remember there was something else I had to play around with to get this to work the way I wanted it to so post back if you have difficulty.

You can follow this link to update your OS all the way to 10.1.5. This is as far as you can go without forking out more money to Apple. If you can afford it spring for Panther, it is definitely worth it, especially after jumping from 10.1. BTW you might have to install a security update...

Here is Apple's answer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106163 . Have you been to http://www.apple.com/macosx/ yet?

Have you re-installed Final Cut Express after upgrading from Jaguar? If any issues with software occur after a major system upgrade occur the first thing you should try is re-installing the software. If that doesn't work you should visit the software vendor's website (in this case Apple) to...
