    MacPorts and xemacs

    Thanks for the suggestions. xemacs does work using "xemacs -nw" but I would like to get it working in its own window. I ran "dtruss xemacs" which produced a lot of output which I do not understand.

    MacPorts and xemacs

    I'm running 10.5.6 and recently installed MacPorts. I wanted to get xemacs so I tried sudo port install xemacs which appeared to complete with no problems. But when I try to start xemacs from an X11 xterm I get the following error Unresolved inheritance operation Any suggestions?

    Safari 3.03 Public Beta and new iMac

    I had a similar problem with installing 303Beta but my existing Safari (3.0.2) is already in the Applications folder. I wanted to try 303Beta because 3.0.2 crashes way too much to be useful. I'm running 10.4.10.

    Firewire - 800 or 400?

    I would think so but I'm not sure if I understand the description given under "Firewire Bus" which says Max speed up to 800 Mb/sec - ? I have a 15" powerbook, which I think is an Al not Ti, so probably there is Firewire 800. thanks-

    Another reason to love Safari...

    The solution is to set the opening application (by doing a "get info" on any .smil file on your computer) from Quicktime to RealPlayer and then click on the "change all" option when doing this. The result is that all future downloaded .smil files will be opened with RealPlayer rather...

    Another reason to love Safari...

    Yes I have installed RP, Windows Media. I am not sure what the stream is - the file that is downloaded has the suffix .smil and the icon in the download window shows the Q of quicktime. The weird thing is that when I listen to the stream (filename of mbe.ram) from eg KCRW then...

    Another reason to love Safari...

    When I want to listen to something from eg the NPR All Songs Considered website, I click on a link that says, you know, "listen." In the old days (pre-Tiger) this would pop open a player, such as RealPlayer. And music came out of the speakers. And it was good. Nowadays, after...

    Safari and Quicktime

    Now that I've upgraded to 10.4.1, when I try to play a song by clicking on it at eg the NPR website the song appears to download and Quicktime opens it but then nothing happens. Any solution? Or how do I change the player Safari uses to play downloaded music?

    iCal and To-Do list

    I've synced my to-do lists from my Treo to iCal using iSync. On my Treo, these lists are organized by category (eg books, house, work) but they appear in iCal in one group with no category info. What gives? any way to recover the group information in the To-Do list(s) in iCal? thanks-

    Inactive memory

    After reading the informative previous post on memory usage, let me ask this simple question: is ~400 MB a reasonable amount of "real memory" for Safari to be using? I have one window open with 6 tabs of Safari if that makes a difference. Still trying to figure out why my machine has...

    Inactive memory

    When I look at the System Memory in the Activity Monitor, I see that often a few hundred megabytes out of a total of 1 GB are in an "inactive" for the RAM on my iMac G4, running Panther. What does this mean? The amount of inactive memory grows as I open applications until at times its...

    G5 Ultra

    You are lucky. I put in an order for virtually the same system as yours in early August and it finally arrived last week. The difference is that I did get the 30 inch Cinema HD screen. Its amazing! Btw I second the suggestion to get more RAM.

    Bluetooth mouse problem

    No I am using the builtin bluetooth. I've checked the power save settings - there is no option having to do with shutting down bluetooth devices. Another clue to this puzzle is that my Apple bluetooth keyboard works just fine - it stays connected to the Powerbook.

    Display delay?

    Has anyone who ordered one actually received an HD 30" flat panel display? I ordered mine back in July and am still waiting. The Apple website claims that they are shipping.

    Panther installation problem

    I just installed Panther on my iMac, which was perfectly happy running Jaguar. Of course now my iMac is unhappy. Upon restart it comes up with the error message "The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error". Then when I try to launch almost...
