    I need help with an AppleScript I'm writing...

    That's really cool. I'm curious about a couple of things though. Does AppleScript just "automagically" find the applications? Will it waste lots of time searching for them or will it just know where they are? And can it "automagically" find stuff on removeable disks? I don't see how this...

    Defragmentation in OS X?

    Actually, I believe PlusOptimizer can be run under OS 9 without having to start from the CD. (Of course, it won't defragment the areas of the disk that contain the active OS files, so IMHO it's best to boot from a CD). So, perhaps this will be updated to run under OS X someday. There...

    I need help with an AppleScript I'm writing...

    I'm sure there is. But, this is the first AppleScript I ever wrote, and I never had the time to go back and make it more efficient. And hey, it works.

    I need help with an AppleScript I'm writing...

    I wrote an Applescript a while back which effectively does exactly what you want. I was distributing a CD with a variety of different software installers on it. When running the script, the user would be presented with a list of software included on the CD. The use can then choose the...

    Defragmentation in OS X?

    to defragment your disk, you are probably going to have to start up from another disk anyway. Alsoft ( www.alsoft.com ) makes a defragmenter called PlusOptomizer that works with HFS+ disks that have OS X on them. To use it, you have to start from the program CD (which includes and OS 9 System...

    iMovie crashing very regularily

    You might get a response if you posted this in the OS X section of the forum, instead of the Classic section. I think more people probably read that OS X section on a daily basis, and you are using OS X.

    Mail Signature

    Did you sent the message as plain text or rich text? It would probably have to be rich text for the image to show up in the message. You can toggle this with the Format menu in Mail. It might not make any difference, but I don't have a PC to test with right now.

    broken iMac ??????

    I believe the graphics chip is integrated onto the motherboard. Sounds like the OpenGL drivers have been munged. I would back up data, format the drive, and try resinstalling OS X. If that doesn't work, it probably is indeed a hardare issue, and since it is new he should be able to call...

    If others are experiencing this problem, the following article may be useful: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n106905 (Basically says to delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and then reboot).

    Interesting problem--stuck CD crashes system.

    Does the new iMac have a manual eject paperclip hole? Most CD drives have this feature. You would probably have to flip down the CD door to get at it.

    industrial strength UNIX - Flaw??

    The fact that you are are not actively using the application does not necessarily mean that the application is not still using the processor. Open a terminal window and type: top -u The "top" command shows cpu utilization and memory usage stats for all running processes. The -u flag...

    Login mask on OS 9 & UNIX/Linux - How ?

    No, it is an existing feature. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, 10.1 can use Active Directory for user authentication and to locate home directories. So, what is jaguar adding? Can the Macs now have AD computer accounts, so they will be able to authenticate themselves when connecting to...

    strange os 9.2 / osx desktop

    It sounds like a Classic application is loading at startup, and then crashing/freezing. See if you have any items in /System Folder/Startup Items. Also, if you press Command-Option-Esc, OS X will bring up a list of all the currently running applications. See if there is something in the list...

    installing 9.2 on a partitioned drive...?

    What filesystem did you use to format "nine"? Os 9 can only be installed on HFS/HFS+ filesystems, not UFS.

    RtCW shipping!!!

    What about the system requirements? This page ( http://www.aspyr.com/mini-sites/rtcw/ ) says a Radeon or GeForce is required. The multiplayer test version runs fine on the Rage 128 in my iMac, if you turn the resolution and detail down a bit. I'd like to know if this is also the case with...

    can't get OS X to let me ssh without a password

    based on your ssh -v output, it looks like it is looking for the key at ~/.ssh/id_rsa or ~/.ssh/id_dsa, but you said that you put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2. So maybe you just need to move your key up to the ~/.ssh directory?
