I'm pretty damn sure I read about Panther having an all-new Location Manager, where all the System Prefs would be able to be controlled per-location, like the Network settings can be in Jaguar. I haven't heard any more about it: do we have it or has it sunk without trace?

Hi, Well, it's exactly as it sounds: my Accounts pref pane is missing. I had to restart unexpectedly the other day, so I reckon /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Accounts.prefPane is corrupt. Is there a good way to restore this, or could someone .dmg up theirs (OS 10.2.6) and put it somewhere...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had any problems/good experiences with the latest Linksys Access Points (specifically the WRT54G) when used with Airport Extreme. I've heard dodgy things in the past, so it'd be great to hear good stuff! Thanks in anticipation...

Ok. It all started when I changed the startup folder to OS 9 on my Nov 2002 iBook under OS 10.2.6. I rebooted, and was greeted with the Happy Computer...for about 3 seconds, upon which the Question Mark System Folder icon was presented. Ok, i thought, let's try a few tricks: Option on boot...

Hi all, Warcraft III runs pretty ok on my nov2002 iBook (800MHz G3, 256Mb RAM, radeon 7500, 32Mb VRAM), but only if i keep it in 16-bit colour, and take most of the detail options down to lowest. Is this normal for a machine of this speed? I'm maxing out my RAM to 640Mb soon - will this speed...

Here goes: I'm running OS 10.2.4. I don't have OS 9 (or, more accurately, don't want to install it, because it's on the Software Install cds, and it installs a whole load of other cr4p along with the bits you might want). I would very much like to play Diablo II, but it doesne have an...

Hi all, I wondered if there was any way to extend the functionality of the 'Location' setting in OS X. I use it extensively at the moment, as i'm always on the move with my iBook, and it'd be great to be able to run a shell script or AppleScript when I change location. Any help much appreciated!

Hello all, I'm an ex-windows user (and i'm thanking my stars i decided to Switch :-), and i think all my main mac questions have been answered, but for one: how does OS X handle file types and which application they are associated with? It seems to me like the particle-wave duality - one minute...

Ok, i got the OGG plugin/component/whatever for QuickTime from the by-now-probably-well-known http://www.illadvised.com/~jordy/ . All is well in Quicktime, but when i use iTunes to play OGGs, there appear little gaps in the music, like someone's censoring out all the naughty words! Quicktime had...

Hey all, I got a couple of docklings from www.aquafiles.com and installed them- the Quitling, the Network Moniter and the Vanity Dockling. That's all probaly irrelevant, cos all docklings seem to crash. They load, and I get one go of the right-click menu when they stop responding. I can drag...
