    upgrading (gigabit) g4's graphics card

    I need to attach a 20" cinema display to my 450 MP G4 (gigabit ethernet,) and I am not sure whether my radeon 32MB is capable of supporting that monitor. Various apple pages imply that I would need to upgrade to a geforce2 mx... but for some reason I can only seem to find geforce2s for the g4...

    Apple toys with media

    lorem ipsum dolor sit amet I really enjoy run on sentences that don't make any sense whatsoever, have a nice day, comma splice.

    apple remote events woes (for controlling itunes with speakable items on another mac)

    Greetings, After moving to a new house, I've decided that I want to be able to control itunes vocally from various different locations in the building. Rather than trying to run 50 ft microphone cables to a computer hooked up to the main stero system downstairs, I've been using a sattelite...

    updates -> can no longer drive monitor at same resolution

    i'm really confused as to how the hell a quicktime/itunes update could have caused this... but I was previously running my display at 1280x1024@75 Hz... and after rebooting it won't go any higher than 60 Hz (quite the bloody pain in the eyes)... what the heck happened! graham

    Mysql for macos x???

    flacochala, the easier way to install mysql is probably through fink... but there some binary distributions available online. http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ is good if i remember correctly. For a broader list of option check the actual mysql docs...

    spaces in file names and $1

    As I am not entirely familiar with the replace command, would it perhaps be easier to use awk's built in gsub syntax? i believe for awk it is something like gsub(" ","\ ",/path/to/file) --- hope this is of some use graham

    simple "run command" from finder

    it turns out that launch bar does basically everything I could possibly need (and quite a bit I'd never actually use.) It's really a great little piece of software. Thanks everyone, graham

    simple "run command" from finder

    thanks guys, all three methods will accomplish basically anything I would want to do... what I would really want to do is have a keystroke call terminal's run command dialogue, but it doesn't seem to be in the apple script dictionary. Maybe I'll see if I can record it anyways later... but for...

    simple "run command" from finder

    Although I hate to use an analogy to windows... the start menu key + R presents a very nice dialogue through which you can run any DOS command. (perhaps the only convenient feature i've found yet.) Yes you can run a command from within terminal, but it's not very convenient to be in that...

    can't add files to xmms playlist

    This seeems as if it should be an easy problem to fix... but after installing xmms via fink, I can't add anything whatsoever to the playlist, no matter how hard I try. Thus I have no way to verify the player even works. thanks, graham

    i hate 7b21.. massive install failure

    Well the iBook is not something I can try to install on, because it actually belongs to my parents. I realize it is beta software but to my knowledge no-one else has had such large problems. I attempted to install twice, but maybe i'll give it another shot now. Admittedly I didn't get the CD...

    i hate 7b21.. massive install failure

    Well... maybe not hate, because about two thirds of the way through my installation it failed miserably, leaving me with a half complete system, that wouldn't boot at all, even into single user mode, so basically I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem. G4 dual 450 with a damn lot of...

    spellchecker doesn't work, in the slightest

    Well i can click "check spelling as you type," but every time i enter a space or a punctuation i get the error... quite a pain since many apps have it on by default. Damn beta is too... betaish.

    spellchecker doesn't work, in the slightest

    Every single application that uses the spellchecker service replies. "Could not contact spellchecker" when i tell it to spell check, or when it does it while i type. Overall this is rather annoying, i was wondering if maybe this was specific to my system, or a more global 10.3 issue. Any help...

    I cannot launch half of my applications!

    I actually think the primary issue is with installers... InstallerVise does veryfrequently doesn't run, or gives up after a certain point. The event I could give that triggered this activity is a very spontaneous loss of preferences after a reboot. (my desktop was default, the dock was huge...

    i've done that since the problem arose, to no end i'm afraid. But you know what, i'm gonna go try that again. thanks, graham
