    Empty System Preference

    This is interesting - I was emptying just a handful of documents (28) from my Trash and the whole system became sluggish, a dialog came up and said the trash couldn't be emptied because it was inuse, but didn't remove the empty trash bar and the system was non-responsive so I shut it down...

    Tiger iSync 2.2 Palm Desktop 4.2.1: Nada

    I've searched here and elsewhere on the web looking for a reason why exactly I can't get iSync to see my HotSync software is properly installed. All I've come across are people who have the same issue, and no explaination, I'm guessing that's a giant 'shrug' from the world at large, but I...

    Apache 403 issues

    I'm using 10.3.6, attempting to set up the Personal Web Sharing with sym links to share some directories and files. Specifically, I have some music under iTunes of my own creation I'd like to share. To the best of my understanding, the doc root is /Library/WebServer/Documents I've created...

    My own Mac Rant

    <sarcasm> Ever since I've gotten my G4 PB, the first Mac I have ever owned, I have had a considerable amount of free time on my hands. Instead of tweaking the machine all the time, I was left wondering what to actually do with it. So I started downloading software. When I had downloaded...

    Desktop Grid Size

    Running 10.3.5. Googled around a bit, and I see this question asked, but not answered. Is there any way, through any means at all, to change the grid size on the desktop in OS X 10.3.x? If I manually arrange my icons, I can easily fit several in between the spaces that are left when icons...

    Change focus after sleep

    I seem to have developed a nasty habit of letting my Powerbook G4 either run low on battery power or simply closing the top when in a game. This presents a problem, as I have enabled the setting to ask for authorization after waking from sleep. Seems that while the screen asking for...

    Two types of iPod? PC and Mac?

    An fellow co-worker is looking to sell her iPod, and I'm considering buying it, but said iPod was hooked up to a PC, and I recall that there was a different iPod for Mac and PC because of the HFS and FAT file system support. Curious if I would be able to use this on my Mac by formattting it or...

    Buy now, or wait for Tiger...?

    Well, I'm dreadfully close to having the funds to purchace my new PowerBook. However, with all the hoopla going on about tiger, I'm wondering if I should hold out and wait for it to be released and save myself $150, or is it really going to be a long ways off? What are the consequences to...
