Hi all, I'm a shareware developer, and I would like to make my software title run on the new Intel Macs. However I don't have access to one! I'm looking for someone willing to test my Universal build on their Intel Macintosh. This is a music software title that appeals to guitar players...

When I run my program in Project Builder the "current directory" seems to be different than when I launch my program from the Finder. Specifically, I've got a "data" folder which is copied into the Resources folder as part of the build process. When I run the program from Project Builder...

Apple just released a New Safari Beta today. I've been using it and it feels much faster that the first beta. Surely it eliminates the nasty bugs that plagued the first release. How does it compare for y'all?

When I installed Entourage X I had it import my settings from Entourage 2001. One of those settings was to have my email attachments save automatically to the desktop when reading a message. Entourage X correctly imported the setting, but now I find that there's no preference option in Entourage...

Yup. Every vendor should have the opportunity to write plugins for the Finder so they can be previewed in the column view and Info window just like RTFs and PDFs and JPGs.

This is a really bizarre behavior. If I right-click on an item in the Dock to select a contextual menu item (i.e., "Empty Trash") the popup menu appears but my selection is ignored. At that point "Dock" becomes the active application and even appears as such in the menu bar. However...

Web pages are able to put up a dialog that asks for a line of textual input. The Javascript code to do this looks like this: x = prompt('Please Enter Your User Name','') Unfortunately Internet Explorer doesn't display the supplied text in the dialog, so you can't tell what IE is asking for.

This one's been buggin' me for several versions of X... In open / save dialogs the horizontal scrollbar in the navigator view has a cosmetic glitch. When you click in the empty area of the scrollbar the columns update correctly but the scrollbar itself doesn't jump to the correct position...

I've been having this problem on all my Macs for awhile but haven't seen it mentioned anyplace. It used to be that under Classic I had no problem running programs that use the QuickTime Music Synthesizer such as FretPet, Virtual Drummer, and Harry The Handsome Executive (yep, Harry uses QTMA...

I'd really like to get my big Wacom ArtZ serial tablet to work under Mac OS X. It works great with Mac OS 9 and the Keyspan two-port USB-to-serial adapter. Is there some way to hack the Mac OS X drivers to make them work with this configuration? Thane, I know you could do it... Are you...

10.1 added support for pasting icons on hard drive volumes but the icons tended to disappear after more than one paste and wouldn't come back until you logged in again. Thankfully 10.1.1 seems to have fixed this bug. Desirable New Feature missing: Alas, 10.1.1 doesn't show Windows computers...

Using the 'fink' install for XFree86 I get the following error when I enter startx -- -quartz and select "rootless" mode: Fatal server error: assert failed on line 454 of darwinKeyboard.c! OsVendorFatalError AbortDDX Quitting XDarwin... X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill...

When I select "Restart All NetInfo Domains on Local Host" from the Options menu I get an error which states: Can't find process ID for "nibindd"! Sure enough, if I check the running processes nibindd is nowhere to be found. If I attempt to start nibindd myself from the terminal it starts up...

If your box is connected to the outside world through your web server you may have noticed your access_logs growing really huge lately. This is of course due to the propagation of worms that take advantage of weaknesses in Microsoft's Network Information Server (NIS) to attack webservers...

I managed to get the Fink version of Apache working seamlessly with MacOS X. It wasn't as simple as simply choosing "Update" but it wasn't all *that* difficult either. In order to be totally integrated with MacOS X the Fink install of Apache needed to have several things made to work: 1...

I just updated the firmware in my two ATI cards in my G4, a Radeon Mac Edition AGP card I installed to replace the OEM Rage128 card, and a PCI XClaim Rage128. Following ATI's instructions I placed the ATI ROM Extender file into the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNDRV folder. But while moving...

I understand that 10.1 comes with PHP 4.0.6 pre-installed. That's fine, but I'd like to re-install Apache and PHP to get support for the maximum number of libraries. However, I just downloaded the latest developer tools and now I can get neither Apache nor PHP to successfully compile! (They...

I noticed after updating to 10.1 that the "virtual hosts" I set up with NetInfo Manager and through httpd.conf are suddenly being overridden in a weird way. I was using a few of these virtual hosts to specify subdirectories where I had different tools I had written in PHP and MySQL. For...

Here's a nifty thread where you can post 10.1 features you've discovered that are pretty well-hidden, but are too useful to be Easter Eggs.... 1. Control-click on a running app in the Dock. Press OPTION and notice that Quit becomes Force Quit. 2. In List and Icon view you can draw a box...

Here's an interesting one: Control-clicking (or right-clicking for you two-button mousers) on icons in the Finder gives useful options for the selected items. But this doesn't work in List view, only in Icon or Column view. It's not that the options don't show up, exactly. I'm sure they...
