Hi all, I'm a pretty seasoned OS X user, but I've run into a slight problem that I can't for the life of me figure out. Every time I launch an application, it will launch, but it will remain unusable for about a minute while I get the spinning beachball. This happens for EVERY APP...

So I've been using G-Force as my main visualizer in iTunes, but after the update I decided to check out if the built-in visualizer had changed any. Has anyone else noticed, um, i dunno, something in the neighborhood of FRAMERATES 3 TIMES AS FAST AS IN 2.0.4?!?! Apparently iTunes can now...

I'm still enamored every day with this OS ... I'm currently encoding 2 DVD's to DivX, net surfing, iTunes going, with Mail, Address Book, Photoshop 7, Slashdock, and Classic running. And its not even giving me a hiccup :) *sigh* if people only knew....

So when Agent Dogget and Rayus (actually i don't know if that's right, personally i think the show sucks w/out duchovny) were video chatting w/ Scully across the country, guess what they were using? iChat on Mac OS 10.2. Got it on tape, freezeframed on Scully's side of the convo, and...

So I just did a freshy install of 10.1 and the Dec. 2001 Dev Tools. All the Dev Tools work except for one: Project Builder, the biggie. Whenever I try to launch it, it will appear in the dock for a split second, then disappears right away. No error messages, nothing. Just refuses to...

Hi all, I'm not new to the board, but i'm new to programming. Basically I need to fill some gaps, and doing it myself will probably be the best way to make sure i get what i want. I need to write a small app/script/whatever that will read the ID3 tags on MP3 files and extract information...

Hi all, just a quick question to see if this has happened to anybody else. For some reason, even though its been working fine for a while, whenever I mount a server volume on one of my machines, it mounts just fine ... but with a "-1" after the name of the server. This isn't impeding any...

Just acquired a free G3/233 with no HD or CD-ROM. I'm looking to set it up as a webserver for the time being running OS X, of course. It's got the stock 2MB RagePro graphics chip, 32MB RAM. I have a PC100 128MB chip from a B&W I'll throw in, plus a G3 350 processor to speed it up a tad, and a...

Alice rules!!! :) :) :) If you don't own it, buy it, its worth the money and its worth supporting Mac gaming (this is coming from someone who hasn't ever bought a console and has only purchased 2 games for his Mac – i'm just not a gaming type person). I'm having a slight problem though, I...

So I just got my Radeon 7000 from Page Computers ... it only took 2 days to get to me! This is one smoking card. AdmiralAK, I know you have a B&W G3 as well, and if you haven't upgraded the video card, DO IT NOW!!! The Radeon7000 is going for around $100-$110 a lot of places and it is worth...

So comcast switched over from @home to the AT&T network here in baltimore and man is it sucking. first, my modem "lost" the fact that i pay for additional IP addrsses, and I can only get online with 1 computer at a time. And it sticks with THAT COMPUTER until they "repush" the modem. They...

So I just did a fresh install of 10.1 and then did all the software updates automatically in a row without installing ANYTHING ELSE. As of right now, I'd expect that this would be an optimal situation, with no problems. Boy was I wrong. It always used to work, now I get messages from a...

So I've been looking at these new ATI Radeon 7000 and 8500 cards ... about 2 weeks ago, I started seriously looking for a replacement video card for my B&W. I was stuck with getting a PCI card cuz I decided to buy my computer in '99, but I'm not much of a gamer so I'm not too concerned with...

I'm using Apple's never-quite-finished Apple Telecom solution. Basically, you need an Geoport Telecom Adapter (a modem interface that you can usually find on eBay for about $10) and the Apple Telecom software version 3.0.1 (actually I forget the entire version number, but its the last one they...

Oh man, what a piece of garbarge. First of all, the interface is absolutely nauseating. I felt like I was in preschool playing with those giant Legos. Its completely obvious the Microsoft wants you to have an "MS"-only XPereince. The entire thing felt hacked together, like a Frankenstein...

Hello, I was wondering if its possible, or has been done already, to put a PC Radeon PCI card into a B&W G3. I really want to replace the stock Rage 128, but I can't spend anywhere near what the Mac Radeons are going for, and I can get a PC version for about half the cost. Is it possible...

Hello, I was wondering if its possible, or has been done already, to put a PC Radeon PCI card into a B&W G3. I really want to replace the stock Rage 128, but I can't spend anywhere near what the Mac Radeons are going for. Is it possible to flash the ROM on a PC and then use the card in my...

Here's something that worked very well for me... I keep mail open all time time, see? and I keep it checking my email every minute, see? y'know, i got a cable modem, what the hell? i turned it off today because I realized that i have no need to downloam spam that quickly. cut it back to...

Hello, each and every time I try to run vi or pico through the command line, I get the same response: Incomplete Termcap Entry and then its right back to the command prompt - this only happens on my regular user account, in my admin account I can use vi or pico fine. What might be...

So i'm poking around the terminal and decide to try out vi to edit some text. i get: [cc603769-a:~] zjd% vi ex/vi: Error: network: No such file or directory So then I try pico: [cc603769-a:~] zjd% pico Incomplete termcap entry I just want to change my hostname and its not...
