I'm looking for a tool which will display the total number of messages in a mailbox regardless of the Read/Unread status. Ideally the number of messages is displayed next to each mailbox but I'll take whatever I can get. Anyone know of such software?

Here's a fun one... I'm running a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 wireless access point and router with the stock firmware. It's running in mixed-mode 802.11b/g and WPA (TKIP) security. My MacBook (Core Duo) has intermittant problems getting a DHCP address. For a number of days everything works 100%...

If I was going to run Linux on my Mac, I'd just get a PC laptop and call it a day. If you're going to deal with hardware driver issues, it may as be on the Intel platform.

The XML file opens now via Firefox. I had edited it using TextWrangler which may (or may not) have bumped something into action. (Wishful thinking at least.) I get an "error loading stylesheet - parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed". Either it can't find the file via the relative URL...

Apple's Property List Editor doesn't recognize the file and won't open it. I tried TestXSLT but it doesn't render the output properly. TextWrangler simply shows me the markup. Firefox won't open an XML file. Safari spits out text - not parsing the XML. I'm trying to view ARCserve...

Internet Explorer (for Windows) can view an XML document and the subsequent output looks like formatted HTML. You don't see XML tags or other arcane information - IE simply outputs human-readable information. I'm looking for software which does the same for OS X. Thus far all I can find are...

Follow up... I've read about every article out there on PowerBook batteries and followed the suggestions including full drain, rechage, reset PMU, etc. I've determined the batteries are just worn out. Interestingly, there wasn't really a gradual decline in charge - they just tanked. I...

nmblookup worked and gave me the IP address. Any thoughts about the hostname resolving order and getting WINS in there?

Righto, but what I don't understand is how Finder is resolving the names but other TCP/IP applications are not (such as RDC, VNC). It seems I need the Mac to lookup the DHCP client addresses from the local DHCP server. Interestingly, my SuSE install can resolve DHCP client addresses just...

I regularly connect my Mac to my Windows computer using Finder. However, I can't connect to the Windows computers using Terminal, Chicken of the VNC, or Remote Desktop Client - the hostname won't resolve. It works fine if I use the IP address. Problem is, I use DHCP at home and don't want to...

I've done the PMU reset and I'll see how it works. Low battery levels and warnings are still not accurate but they are improved since the PMU reset. I've attempted the discharge/charge calibration a number of times without the PMU reset - no improvement. I'm doing more calibration since the...

I've got two batteries for my TiBook which I've owned for the last 18 months or so. Traditionally, I have always plugged in the AC adapter unless I needed to be untethered. My batteries were always being charged. I recently discovered that my batteries have lost their memory. Both...

I use Office 2004 for the Mac - just upgraded. It ensures I have near 100% compatibility with everyone else. Although Word is bulky and I don't use many of the features, I'm hesitant to switch. It's my understanding that OpenOffice runs under X - I want it native to Aqua. Not sure if...

We're going to see some interesting law suits in the future. I realize that companies need to protect their investment but some things seem too generic to patent. A progress bar, tabbed browser, a square power button, etc. But maybe they weren't so generic at the time. These patents might...

I don't change it on purpose - it does it when I move between my KVM switch and using the laptop untethered. It's very strange why only the disk volume icon is that one that moves at random. None of the other icons do. I don't have the desktop icons set to auto-arrange, but that might keep...

Agreed. Windows users (myself included) are used to the crap Microsoft dishes out for an OS. We don't know any better. As for the folks that continually state how much cheaper that Wintel hardware is, well, look at it this way.... Standard car models vs. luxury models. Lexus has been...

I'm running OS X 10.3.5. Does anyone know why, and how to stop, the Macintosh disk volume icon from randomly moving around? After a reboot or a display resolution change, the icon will randomly move elsewhere. The space it takes on the desktop is wide open - it's not as if the other icons...

I haven't read through the entire thread but I'll respond to the orignal post. Apple's iBook line competes in the same space as lower-cost Windows laptops. I'm not sure Apple has anything to gain by introducing more hardware. In fact, I feel that Apple improves the image of their "brand" by...

I've got a TiBook G4 800 and love it. No problems whatsoever. I suppose my experience is pointless since the AlBook is a completely different model. Too bad about the latch and screen issues but I'd like to think they are worked out by now. This is the best computing device I have ever...
