    PC users amused

    A bit categorical today are we? First: there are more reasons than APE that can cause Leopard not to load properly, and stay at the blue screen. Second: I've been using haxies for years, and haven't had a single kernel panic or "crash" as you call it for the past two years. Period. Does that...

    big problem with 10.5.1

    Apple recommends that you start in "Safe Mode", and when you reach the login window, click restart (you may have to click "Back" first if you end up at the password screen). That'll let you start normally without the Setup Assistant starting.

    Mac mini keyboard shortcut

    Not sure if this is related, but I remember a bug in Illustrator 12.0.0, where shortcuts wouldn't work at all unless you used the "USA" keybord layout (not "Extended" or "Pro", just USA or US). All you had to do was to switch layout, use a shortcut, and then you could switch to the original...

    Leopard 10.5 - How to force windows to stay on top

    Windowshade X will solve your problem as soon as it is released for Leopard. Unsanity are hard at work to bring Windowshade X to Leopard, it's the second thing in priority after APE, so it shouldn't be too long before it is released.

    Disable Annoying Co-Worker's Audio

    ...or you could try what I did a few years ago: cut the wires going to the speakers and headphone outlet from the sound card...worked like a charm! Mind you, this was after he refused to obey orders from his boss to turn off sound. And I was his boss.

    PHP Won't Access Files Outside WebServer !!

    Permissions are not to blame here, it's the Installer that malfunctioned. Your problem is that the Leopard installer didn't move the /etc/httpd/users/ to /etc/apache2/users/. It had me stumped too, but once i manually moved them everything worked fine, and still does. PS: you're no longer...

    Is there any OS X software that will connect to cell phones via USB?

    Actually, a lot of phones work with USB. iSync has supported synchronization via USB at least since version 1.5. It's the phone that can limit the support, not all phones will talk SyncML over USB, some only support SyncML over Bluetoth. There are also other applications for syncing. Nokia, for...

    Leopard resolution independence!!

    My previous post was probably wrong, I think it'll look exactly the same in the Display Preferences in Leopard as in Tiger (I really shouldn't post after midnight). You'll only really notice it when you do the "Ctrl+scroll" thing or use the other zoom command that I keep forgetting (in...

    Leopard resolution independence!!

    I haven't checked Display prefs in Leopard, but I'll do it tomorrow. A colleague is running the latest beta on a spare MacBook, but I declined to install it myself as I use all of my computers for production. If we really get resolution independence, we really shouldn't get to set the width...

    Leopard resolution independence!!

    Fryke: We're comparing apples to oranges here... Lets clear this one up real quick: the "resolution" we set in System settings isn't resolution at all. It's a setting to decide how many pixels we want to show across and down on our screens. I should've been more clear about that. The dot...

    Leopard resolution independence!!

    Operating systems don't assume anything, people do. Besides, assumptions, be it by people or operating systems, don't affect the physical aspects of a display. Captain Code wrote that most displays have a resolution of 72 ppi. They don't, and it doesn't matter what operating system you use...

    Leopard resolution independence!!

    Bollocks. That hasn't been true since the MacIntosh SE/30, which was the last computer on earth to use that resolution. Ever. All usbsequently released displays have had a higher resolution, and most displays today have resolutions around 100 ppi or greater. The comment becomes even more...

    Text in Safari appearing as fractions

    It is probably not a font problem, but a text encoding problem. Check the bottom sub menu on the menu to the immediate right of your Edit menu. You should have a check mark next to the first option (probably named "Default"). I'm using a Swedish version of Safari so I'm not sure of the name...

    Safari search box

    Read the text on the page links to please... It clearly states that you should go to the page you want to add as a channel, choose "Edit channels" and then click "New channel...". Now, how hard can that be?

    HELP!!! Web Archives and Original URL

    Try copying a bit of the text from the web page, and paste that into Googles search field. The page will probably show up in the results, if the text you copied is special enough.

    Is there a way to "queue" file transfers between machines?

    Maybe this'll help? http://www.macorchard.com/filetransfer/ I haven't tested it myself, but it kinda sorta looks like something that maybe is close to almost doing something similar to what you want...:)
