    Dual DVI ports not working

    I have a G5 PCI-E with 2 DVI ports. Up until this past week, I have been using an old tube type monitor and converting the signal with a DVI to VGA converter. We had a power short circuit at the house and now I cannot get a signal to the monitor. I also have a brand new ViewSonic 24" monitor...

    IT Course and writing code on a G5

    Wow. Why do I feel like I just got poked in the eye? Thanks for the reply and history lesson. All I wanted was to find out if I needed special software to play with codes, find out how code worked, etc. I think I got my answer from ElDiabloConCaca.

    IT Course and writing code on a G5

    Currently it is algorithm, pseudocode and the basic understanding of programming. Upcoming courses deal more with the web design. This one that I am competing may be the only section with programming, but I would like to do more. I only have a week and a half left in the block (9 weeks) so maybe...

    IT Course and writing code on a G5

    Thanks for the reply, EDCC. I just want to be able to write simple executable "programs" that will help with my assignments. One of the students has mentioned Perl and I have no idea what it is. I have used a Mac in Prepress since the early days (MacPlus) and know the Mac can do a whole lot...

    IT Course and writing code on a G5

    My question is:What programs are out there that I can do this? Is there an application I can run? Is there a compiler or editor of some type for me to be able to do this?

    IT Course and writing code on a G5

    Not sure if this is the place but here goes. I am finishing up my secound block of online classes with University of Phoenix, 9 months away from my AA in IT/MIS. I miss the days of long ago, writing If-else and loops on the Atari 800 and Commodore. I really need software for my new G5 Mac...

    Menu items duplicated in Leopard

    Yepp, that was it. I don't remember the program - maybe when I was using Equation Editor in Word (for school). My keyboard is a Logitech wireless, so half the function keys don't work anyways. And I very rarely have my speakers on. Good job, thank you tons.

    Menu items duplicated in Leopard

    Sorry, didn't work, although that may come in handy later on. Look at the screenshots, they have nothing to do with applications.

    Menu items duplicated in Leopard

    I have noticed just this last week that my finder is showing duplicate commands in the menus: shut down, empty trash, and secure shut down. There are 2 of each. There are also 2 move to trash commands. Also, windows now have a black box around them, like the Mail window now has a black rule...

    FSCK and Internal Slave Drive Problems

    TechTool called the bus a slave. But then I think it was TechTool that may have caused the MDB problem in the initial stages. I do not think that the version was compatible with Leopard. In any event, I got a hold of Disk Warrior. H-A-L-A-L-U-J-A-H! Disk Warrior saved the day. Rebuilt the...

    FSCK and Internal Slave Drive Problems

    Is there a way to get fsck to recognize a 200gig internal on the slave bus? It seems that fsck only recognizes the startup drive. Stellar Phoenix shows all the files are there but I cannot mount the drive through Disk Utility and I can't afford $99 right now. Thanks in advance. Leopard...

    2 USB Headphones on at same time...possible?

    That solves the problem, but I guess what I'd really like to know… Is there a way to do 2 USB headphones at the same time?

    2 USB Headphones on at same time...possible?

    I've got a Mac Mirror DD, running 10.3.9. We're members of a paranormal investigative group (yes, we're ghost hunters) that at times when reviewing audio, we need 2 people listening to headphones at the same time. Up until now, we just pass the same set back and forth. The software I use is...

    Upgrading my MDD from Panther to Tiger

    Good questions. I hadn't thought about it really. I really don't want to reinstall my apps...CS3 suite mostly. Maybe that's why I haven't upgraded. Mail, Firefox, iMovie, iDVD... do all of the Apple apps update automatically?

    Upgrading my MDD from Panther to Tiger

    Just wondering what issues I may run into upgrading my Mirror Door from Panther to Tiger. Will the 1.25 GHz MDD handle it? I've got the max ram installed at 2 gig. Thanks!
