    Photo Edition - Any app. like MS Photo Editor?

    I tend to use ToyViewer for most basic image editing stuff that doesn't require Photoshop's horse power. Unlike GraphicConverter, ToyViewer is free. Unlike Gimp, ToyViewer is Mac OS X native (predates just about all other image apps in Mac OS X except TIFFany). If you have to spend money...

    iMac SE DVD Drive not working

    The slot loading DVD drives are notorious for dying. I've replace three for clients within the last two years (two were replace with new DVD drives, one with a CDRW drive). I just replaced one two weeks ago with those same issues. Sadly the DVD drives were not of the same quality level as the...

    What does it take to run OSX on a intel PC?

    I wouldn't go that far. The developer releases of Mac OS X v10.4.1 that accompanied Apple's Intel based developer kit hardware was successfully installed on a number of non-Apple PCs (illegally). And this was possible because Apple had kept a version of their operating system in development...

    upgrade to os9

    I have 4 systems (5 if you count Blue Box) running Mac OS 8.6. This isn't because I don't have Mac OS 9, it is just that 8.6 has always been far more stable an OS (for me) than Mac OS 9. The only system with a copy of Mac OS 9 on it is my iMac/350, and that is strictly for use in Classic in Mac...

    Thumbnail image-browser for OSX?

    So you want an image browser but nothing anyone suggest will work... Sorry, but what are you asking for? :confused: Personally, I've been using Curator for image browsing since Mac OS X was first released. It does exactly what I need (which is let me browse my folders for images and...

    What does it take to run OSX on a intel PC?

    Depends on what you want to do with it... anywhere from $0 to $4,000. My top of the line system is an old Beige G3 from 1998. It has been upgraded to a G4 at 533 MHz (with 1 MB of L2 cache), has an ATI Radeon 7000 (with 32 MB of VRAM), has an 80 GB hard drive connected to an Ultra ATA/66 PCI...

    What does it take to run OSX on a intel PC?

    Here is the problem... there has never been a copy of Mac OS X sold that wasn't already tied to an existing piece of hardware from Apple. If you have Mac OS X for Intel without an Intel based Mac, then you have it illegally. If you have an Intel based Mac and are trying to install that software...

    Why is the internet SOO slow sometimes on Mac....?

    Well, if we are talking about MySpace it could be that the page is attempting to install a virus (or moleware) and is having problems. And on the Windows system it is able to complete the task very quickly. I, personally, have not had any of my browsers hang for that long on any page. The...

    Reimport messages saved as RTF (RTFD) into Mail.app?

    Actually it is pretty easy... this is what you do: Open the RTFD document in TextEdit. Once opened, go to the Edit menu down to Select All. Go to the TextEdit menu down to the Services menu to the Mail menu and click on Send Selection. This will open a new email in Mail. Save the new email...

    Powermac G3 in a sorry state

    If it is the CD-ROM extension that is missing, then this should fix it: Apple CD Extension

    Powermac G3 in a sorry state

    Best starting point would be to do the following: Go to the Apple Menu down to Control Panels over to Extension Manager. When the Extension Manager comes up (and it may prompt you about missing/changed extensions, don't worry about it), there should be a pull down menu for the extension set...

    Found a 'Mac SE' on the street!

    Actually it sounds like AtEase is installed... and getting around this is... well, lets just say that reformatting and installing a new OS would be less complicated. The only reason to attempt to disable AtEase would be to save info on the drive, which isn't something that I'd worry about in...

    Too big of a switch!

    I'd be happy to attempt to help with questions on any pre-installed apps that came bundled with an iBook and anything you actually own (as in was purchased)... but I'll leave questions on the uploaded stuff to those who find that sort of thing less objectionable.

    All indesign stories to word for translation

    First question that comes to mind is... how did you get the text to begin with? I know very few people who use InDesign as a word processor. The second thing that pops into my head is... what makes you think that the translated text is going to be the same length as the original content...

    another "you have inserted a disk containing no volumes that MAC OS X can read" prob

    If DVDs used to work for you and have stopped... try repairing permissions of your startup drive (using Disk Utility). If any of the format files gets the wrong permissions it'll stop your system from reading them. Repairing permissions usually fixes this*. * Note: I am not one of...

    Highlighting a PDF if commenting not enabled by author

    Once an author has locked out a feature (including modification, copying and printing) you are pretty much out of luck with that document. In most cases you would need the authors password to reactivate these features. When setting up secured PDF documents I'm asked for two passwords. First...

    How do you use your old Macs?

    I don't own a newer system, so my older Macs pretty much do everything for me. My newest systems are from 2000 (a PowerBook Pismo and iMac) and my main two systems are from 1998 (a PowerBook Wallstreet and Beige G3). Looking around this room at what computers I have in service currently...
