    Multiple mouse cursors: ME WANT!

    Fingerworks (now defunkt alas) made nice "keyboards" that were actually touchpads. They support multiple contact points, and gestures, to manipulate the interfaces in applications. One problem is that it requires special programming for each application, if you want anything else than the global...

    Font Book Is Crap

    Try out FontexplorerX from Linotype, it's free and looks like "iTunes for fonts". You can keep you fonts wherever you want, preview fonts you haven't installed, and also buy fonts directly (from Linotype of course). It's a "final candidate", but I haven't heard any complaints about it from any...

    Can "Connect to server" but can't write to it

    Well, it does work, just not the way YOU want it. Most people need to connect to ftp servers mainly to download documents from them. That works. The only thing that doesn't work is uploading, but if you read the specs, it isn't supposed to. Not a bug, but hardly a feature either...

    WMV and Tiger

    The WMV player from flip4mac works perfectly on my Mac Mini (1.25 GHz) but not quite so great on my iMac G4 (800 MHz). CPU speed seems to be of the essence here...

    can't connect wirelessly

    This is also a known problem with the original Airport Base Station (and possibly other versions too). Sometimes it will loose the connection between the wireless and wired networks. On those occassions you'll have full signal strength for Airport, but no connection to the internet. The only...

    Odbc Connection

    Well, you've got me stumped. I was dead sure there was a "General" tab there, but I'm probably mistaken, its been a while since I ran OS 9. I'd try another ODBC driver and setup if I where you, with a clearer user interface. Try one of these: http://www.openlinksw.com/ If you don't have...

    Odbc Connection

    I still want to know what applications and versions you are using, there are a number of things that can go wrong, and they differ between versions. My immediate guess is that you have a problem related to FileMaker 5 or later: you are trying to use ODBC in Excel, and FileMaker has installed...

    OSX Tiger won't connect to XP

    Here's what I would try: allow the router to set the IP #s. Then change the settings on each computer to "DHCP with manual address", with the same numbers that they got from the router. Then the numbers won't change over time, and you should be able to reach the internet. Then restart the...

    Pb Not Connecting to Wireless Network

    If you're running a "private" network, the base station won't broadcast the name of the network, and you need to enter it manually in your settings on the PowerBook.

    Wireless Network

    There's a checkbox for "Create a private network" or something similar (I don't have an english version). Tick that box, and you network should stop broadcasting its name.

    Problems With Airport

    It might just be that the router presents itself on a different IP address on the internal network. Check it out in the specs, and if they are different from your old routers settings, change the settings in Airport Administrator accordingly.

    You don't. You downloaded the web page (downloader.php) instead of opening it you browser, try again.

    Connecting Imac G5 to a Linksys Wireless Pc Network

    What operating systems do you use on the respective computers (Mac, Dell, Emachine and Compaq)? There is a problem with samba and newer versions of Windows filesharing, in that Samba can't handle encrypted passwords the way that Win Server 2003 does, so you have to enable clear text...

    webdav, OS X and Windows 2000

    I've seen some indications that it might depend on the authentication mechanism: Basic+SSL seems to work, whereas Digest does not. I've also seen that you need to enable something called "WebClient" (whatever that is, I don't have a Windows 'puter to try it on). From Microsofts webdav support...

    Connect Wireless a Minimac to a Pc Wi-fi Network

    Open System Preferences and click on "Network". Choose "Network Settings..." or something similar (I don't have the english version) where it originally says something about "status". It's the second menu from the top in the panel. In the settings panel you should see the active ports, the...

    PHP on "Personal Web Sharing" ?

    You already have all that you need to run PHP 4 in your current Apache server, the only thing you need to do is to change the configuration to activate the PHP 4 module. Open the file "/etc/httpd/httpd.conf" in your text editor of choice, preferrably through sudo in Terminal, as that will let...

    Opening a pc picture in Mac

    A number of things can go wrong with EPS images. The most common are: 1. That they are saved in a state that does not allow editing. FreeHand was reviled for this "feature" in the past, but has since abandoned the practice. 2. They were created on a Mac, and transferred to another platform...

    Odbc Connection

    Maybe if you fill us in on what client application you use, it would be easier to help you. Also, what database server are you using, and on what kind of system is it running (OS version)?
