    My Burner Won't Be Recognized

    Hi Tyaak. First of all, you will not be able to burn a copy of Max OSX directly to CD/DVD AT ALL. This is partly to do with the operating system being in use, and also because there are many special hidden and restricted access files that your CD burning software will not be able to access...

    OSX Native Indeo Video AVI Codec or player?

    Unfortunately that codec still crops up in AVI contained movies made on some PCs. I worked around it by making a disc image of a minimal install of OS9 with Quicktime Pro and the Classic IV50 Quicktime codec. Whenever I find one I want, I launch classic from the 80Mb disc image and transcode it...

    Safari 1.3 = 17Mb, Safari 1.3.1 = 2.7Mb?!

    Put version 1.3 back, deleted receipt for 1.3.1, repaired permissions, reapplied the update, and Safari is back to full multi-linguistic fighting weight.

    Safari 1.3 = 17Mb, Safari 1.3.1 = 2.7Mb?!

    Cheers ElDiablo - Looks like it's running without all the extra language support that would normally be there. I'm amazed that the updater ran without issues, and that it seems to be running fine so far. I'll unpack the 1.3 version I saved, delete the update receipt and reapply the update.

    Safari 1.3 = 17Mb, Safari 1.3.1 = 2.7Mb?!

    I installed the Safari 1.3.1 update yesterday, trashing Safari 1.3 beforehand (I backed it up though), as the 'Updates' are often full installers which just update what is needed. To my bewilderment, while Safari 1.3 was 17Mb, 1.3.1 is only 2.7Mb! The new version is running fine, so doesn't...

    Mac/pc File Differences With Adobe Illustrator

    Hi dla Your issue is more likely to be issues in the Mac port of Illustrator 10 than with the EPS files themselves, UNLESS you have EPS files that are calling fonts, which may/will differ (kerning etc) if the exact same font isn't used on both platforms (often an unlicensed Truetype windows...

    Problems with rear speakers

    The fact that the preferences are not sticking suggests a permissions issue either on the preference file itself, or that the software that handles the surround sound setup is trying to write to a write protected location (either it installs Support files only into the Admin account, or - Worst...

    Help Request - Eratic Mouse behaviour

    I have finally managed to track the problem down, and it turns out there are two separate issues. 1. The erratic mouse issue is due to a failing micro-switch in my Microsoft Intellieye Wireless Mouse (annoying, since it's only about a year or so old). 2. The console log flooding has turned...

    Help Request - Eratic Mouse behaviour

    Hope someone out here can help me bug hunt this problem. I've started having erratic mouse performance in ONE user account with my Microsoft Intellieye Explorer Wireless Mouse (V2). Sometimes mouse clicks aren't properly registered, or a single click will perform a double click function. Also...

    10.3.9 And Programs Not Working

    Which would explain why Premiere and Toast (plugs into Quicktime) aren't working. If you haven't already, do try downloading the re-released version of Quicktime 7, and re-install it, remembering to repair permissions afterwards. You may have to revert back to Quicktime 6.5.2 first, but I hope...

    Recommended Multi-functional scanner/printer?

    I'm considering getting a multi-function scanner/printer as they do seem to take up much less space. Can anyone recommend any particular brands and/or models for OSX (Panther)? The chosen device will need good drivers (nothing flaky), decent support (service dept. doesn't disavow their own OSX...

    Installing Tiger DVD on a mac without a DVD drive?

    Hello Kinniken If you have a machine which can be started in Firewire Disc target Mode (connect the machines together with a Firewire cable while both are turned off, then start the one you want to show up as a firewire drive - your machine without the DVD drive - while holding down the T...

    Adobe Systems Incorporated to Aquire Macromedia

    With any luck Adobe will resurrect the good bits of Freehand that Macromedia butchered with versions 10 and MX, and finally acknowledge that you simply cannot treat vector art editing the same way you do Pixel art editing (a la Illustrator). The potential for a Illutrator/Freehand hybrid is a...

    Adobe Systems Incorporated to Aquire Macromedia

    Transcoding Windows Media Files?

    As anyone who views Windows Media Files on Mac OSX will know, Windows Media Player 9 for Mac is sorely lacking some of the codecs which are standard in the PC version - notably Windows media 9 video streams (or WMV3 video content in media files) I'm finding that more and more of these media...

    Journaling (and some other things)

    Answers: 1. - What you are describing is Apple's hot file clustering, not journaling. Hot file clustering moves commonly used files to areas of the hard disc that are physically faster to access. this only happens on the boot volume, so any files on other partitions are not affected. There is...

    Sending pdfs on PCs

    The issue is likely that you are generating Acrobat 5 or even 6 PDF files. In your output options, you can set InDesign and/or Distiller to output Acrobat 4 compatible PDFs, that your clients can open with their somewhat out of day Acrobat Reader 4 (remember, most PC users never thing to update...

    3M Renaissance Vertical Mouse drivers for OSX?

    I'm trying out a 3M Renaissance vertical mouse (pistol grip type ergonomic mouse), as I'm having some repetitive strain issues after many years of heavy traditional mouse use (even with nice mice). I've found that it is a reasonable alternative, however all of it's mouse buttons don't work under...
