    Nano question: Sync with USB 1.1?

    The Nano does work with USB 1.1... and the only thing that Firewire is good for is powering the device (no data transfer). And when I say that USB 1.1 works, it isn't very fast but it does transfer data and power the device.

    Will update from os 8.6 to 10.4 keep aplications?

    You can update without losing the application... but you won't be able to use the application in Mac OS X (at least not without Classic which requires having Mac OS 9.2.x). 10.4? Yes (but it is not supported on that system, 10.2 or 10.3 would be better). Graphics applications within 10.4...

    renamed home directory oops! help!

    And there is a point where you should realize that attempts at helping can often make situations worse. You've been helping in this forum for a year... I've been providing service and support for Macs for 9 years now (and help in this forum for 5 years)... I can tell you from first hand...

    renamed home directory oops! help!

    See, there's an attempt... :rolleyes: and it even overlooks using tools like NetInfo Manager to avoid system conflicts.

    renamed home directory oops! help!

    You are talking about home directory stuff... permissions and the like... I don't see an easy answer for you. I've fixed this problem for clients before, but I don't think I could tell you in a post (or couple posts) everything you would need to fix. That is really a hands on type of problem...

    NT Server and G4/G5

    Yes, but in the case of your network just keeping it off is the best course of action. But with later Windows servers (Windows 2000 and later I believe) you wouldn't run into the 8.3 problem like with NT 4. At the same time, Microsoft dropped support of AppleTalk in later versions, which would...

    Quark 6 will no longer launch

    Is there a reason you aren't upgrading to 6.5? As I recall the 6.5 upgrade is a free download from Quark. Also have you attempted to run QuarkXPress from another user account? That would help in figuring out if the problem is specific to your account or is more wide spread.

    NT Server and G4/G5

    No... but just remember that that is where the Windows networking stuff is. If you need to connect to a Windows system that doesn't understand AppleTalk, you'll need to re-enable SMB. Also, that is were you set up the workgroup name for Windows networking (by default it is set to WORKGROUP).

    NT Server and G4/G5

    SMB is the native networking protocol of Windows. Apple implements it using Samba in Mac OS X. Odds are you are connecting via SMB, and NT wants to restrict the names for that protocol to the 8.3 convention. If you go to the Directory Access app (Applications/Utilities/Directory Access)...

    NT Server and G4/G5

    How are these systems connecting? NT 4.0 Server has AppleTalk built into it, are you using AppleTalk with these systems? Or SMB? Remember, AppleTalk is not active by default in later versions of Mac OS X.

    mac running windows

    The last estimate I heard was that a computer running Windows would be attacked within 30 seconds of being connected to the internet. You just don't run Windows connected to the internet without protection.

    Quake 3

    Quake III was released for beta testing on Macs only and was released for both Mac and PC at the same time (and on the same disk as I recall, at least my version has both the Mac and PC version on it). The problem with the Mac version is that it is for Mac OS 9...but the Mac OS X version of...

    TextEdit (in OPENSTEP/Rhapsody/Mac OS X)

    Well, Mac OS X didn't support EPS/PS images in Preview or TextEdit until 10.3.x. Before that you would have needed a third party app to help with those types of images (I use PStill which you can set up as a service on older versions of Mac OS X to convert EPS/PS graphics when an app attempts to...

    TextEdit (in OPENSTEP/Rhapsody/Mac OS X)

    I didn't respond to simbalala's post for the very reason that I didn't want to pull this off topic (though I had a post composed... you should have seen it, it was really long and everything :D ), even though I hardly think what Apple has added so far constitutes bloat. The thing about the...

    TextEdit (in OPENSTEP/Rhapsody/Mac OS X)

    Apple/NeXT's RTF/RTFD format never, ever, supported footnotes. And they were never passed off as being the same format as, say, Microsoft's RTF which might. In the 18 years the format has been in use on the platform, no claim of footnote support ever existed. And for support for other...

    TextEdit (in OPENSTEP/Rhapsody/Mac OS X)

    You can add it via services using Devon Technologies WordService (it is at the bottom of the page). You select a section or the whole document, then go to Services to Statistics and up pops a dialog with a count of characters, spaces, words and lines. And because it is a service, it is...

    TextEdit (in OPENSTEP/Rhapsody/Mac OS X)

    You ask the question...Is footnotes _really_ such an advanced function?And the answer is yes. Specially, as you noted, no one seems to have a standardized way of handling footnotes. I'm sorry, which way would you have Apple apply footnotes to TextEdit? And who would start screaming because...

    If you are running in Windows... yes. Friends don't let friends run Windows on a Mac. :D

    "Macs are virus targets....."

    The events of that article took place over at MacRumors on February 13, 2006. It wasn't that big a deal then and hasn't gotten any worse with age. As to why it is being rehashed now... FUD and a slow news day. To date there has been more articles written about viruses on Macs than than...

    Let's see if your real face looks better than your desktop. Post your pic!

    So I haven't posted in this thread since... 2001 (it is mainly because I don't like being photographed). Well, my wife has been playing with our (very cheep) camera and snapped some shots of me in my computer area. As it'll most likely be around 2011 before any more images of me pop up, I...
