    when configuring "Loging Prefs" you can login automatically into an account, disable Restart and Shut Down buttons, show a password hint after 3 attempts to enter a password... and you can choose the authentication scheme you want. When you click the select button it brings an open dialog box...

    AdmiralAK, after another look at languages menu I have to tell you that there are no Russian or Greek options... sorry, there are many flavors of French, English and others. In the Keyboard menu there are Unicode caracter sets for 2 byte languages. Russian and Greek will be supported but they...

    Custom installation shows 4 items: - Base System (228 MB aprox). It is selected and dimmed by default so you can't unselect it. - System Software (520 MB aprox). It is selected and dimmed by default so you can't unselect it. - Printer Drivers (75 MB aprox). It is an option, but I am...

    Those are the languages supported in this release, but the language panel in Preferences has all the languages listed... I supose you will be able to download them pretty soon.

    Ok, the readme in the installer has some good/bad news: - You can't install MacOS X in a USB or FireWire disk. SCSI should work, though they warn you about third party SCSI cards... if they don't work properly try to attach a disk or terminator to the external port; if no luck contact the...

    I gots the final. :)

    I went to my local dealer here in Spain today and there they where, 15 boxes with MacOS X. They won't sell them until Friday's midnight, but they are there. I couldn't buy mine, but they had an open box and I could install it at one of the dealer's Macs. The Spanish version has 3 cds: MacOS...

    How to burn 4K73?

    Most of the problems with downloaded Mac OS X install images relate to mounting the image before burning them. Don't do it. Just download it and burn it. Once you mount it, even just one time, you won't be able to install it anymore. The problem has to do with desktop database or something...

    Upgrading h/w for OSX - is more MHz better than dual G4s?

    I agree with many of the things said here, but as we have read many times Mhz is not everything. I have been working on an "old" PowerMac G4 500 (single processor) and I am really happy with this machine. It works fast and reliably. I have installed MacOS X and I think it makes the machine much...

    IE 5.5 kills OS X

    Some people out there say that there are builds after 4K78... I have heard of 4k80 for sure and some not confirmed rumors say there is a 4k81 that is the golden master. 4k78 is not the golden master and the golden master out there in the "shareware" world is false.

    Cocoa programming manual

    It was a little bit deep in the site, but here it is: http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/ObjectiveC/ObjC.pdf It is interesting, but you need to have some knowledge of C and programming.

    Unix File System

    I've been reading a lot about MacOS X and one thing that I keep reading is that its structure makes it file system independent... so I suppose that is a matter of porting XFS (Silicon Graphics Open Source offering), JFS (IBM's) or RiserFS (Linux variant). There some really good commercial...

    dvi to 15 pin

    The other day I was looking at some URLs I had and there were a couple of places that had DVI converters. One of them was http://www.drbott.com/ ... the other is http://www.gefen.com/ I am not sure if they have the type of converter that you want, but there were some of them for...

    x translation...

    After looking around for some time I have found a tip in an Italian site that shows how to turn on all the extra languages that MacOS X PB has inside. Below I post the tip but read the article for all the extra information: http://macprof.macity.it/archives/Xinternational.html...

    x translation...

    March 24 Apple will introduce English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese versions of MacOS X... all other languages will follow afterwards. What they don't state is if the version you buy in US, Germany or Spain will contain only their home language or all of them. Unix can support...

    is this site dying?

    Well guys, my experience with other sites like this and other new products or OS' is that when Mac OS X final comes out and arrives to people's hands this will be a very busy place... not many of us have taken seriously the time and resources to deal with new "beast", so all the newcomers will...

    OS X final & language kits

    You are right, future looks bright. Now I must hope all the other software developers do the same and we can have a unique package with all languages. This will make updates faster, easier and more straightforward. An example to demostrate what I am saying: Now we have update 9.0.2 for...

    OS X final & language kits

    What they didn't say is if all those languages will come in one unique package or we will have different versions for every country. I am working in Spain, but the company has half of the workers that speak English and the other half in Spanish. The problem is not the language but buying Mac...
