Hi, A project I am working on requires a long range (100m) Bluetooth connection to be available. My powerbook has built-in Bluetooth, but (I believe - please correct me if wrong) this has a range of 10m. If I purchase a 100m Bluetooth dongle, e.g. the Belkin model, will OS X allow me to...

Hi, For a project I am working on, I need to disable the right mouse button from showing contextual menus. Is there any way of configuring OS X to ignore these inputs. I am using PureData, so maybe if anyone knows how to switch off the PD context menu, that would probably do the trick...

Not a support question as such, but I just turned on iDisk syncing (thought i'd finally try to make use of my iDisk...) and saw these funny icons appear next to some of the folders. Does anyone know what they mean? I can't find a reference to them anywhere. Chris -- www.chrisblunt.com...

Hi, I am trying to build address book access into my cocoa app using the address book API. No matter what I do (using every example I've found on the web), I get the following error message: ZeroLink: unknown symbol '_kABGroupNameProperty' Which I figure is telling me I've missed a...

Hi, Does anyone know if XCode 2/Tiger will allow easier (or, more accurately, allow) development of J2ME MIDLets? Mobile Java development on OS X seems a lost cause on Panther due to lack of Wireless Toolkits and support. Cheers, Chris

Recently, I've found myself merrily working away, only to find the clock in the menubar seems to be running a little slow. On moving my mouse to the clock, I get the rainbow ball, and find that the clock crashed over an hour ago, I've missed an appointment, lecture, etc.etc... It also turns out...

Hi, does anyone know if the new Motorola A1000 3G Phone syncs with iSync via Bluetooth? Cheers, Chris

Hi, For my course I need to (quickly) develop a simple App to scan for Bluetooth devices. preferabbly, this would be done in Java (as I know Java), or I would have to learn Objective-C in some form. Can I ask if anybody knows either: 1) Is this possible with java on mac? From what I...

Further to my question about .Mac sync and Palm OS......http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45104 As I use Entourage, and have a .Mac account synced to my iPod, mobile, etc, I find it annoying that Entourage and iSync can't sync their address books. As I understand it (which is not...

Hi, Just a quick question about Tiger's new syncing. Does anyone know if the new Sync engine syncs neatly with Palm OS(5) devices, removing the need for HotSync, or is the functionality the same as iSync (IMHO, messy!). Regards, Chris -- www.chrisblunt.com

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade (sort of) from my old 15" to a new 12" PBook for convenience, maybe having a desktop system for power. However, I wondered if there was a noticeable difference between a 1.3GhZ (or the 1.5ghZ 15") G4 processor, and the 1GhZ G4? Cheers, Chris

Hi, Does anyone have any clues as to when (if?) Apple will be releasing a G5 Powerbook. My PB is getting a bit old now, and struggling with the amount of DV work I am throwing at it, but I'm reluctant to upgrade to 1.25 G4 if the G5s are just around the corner!!! Regards, Chris --...

Hi, Can anyone help me with iMovie; I created a project for my coursework and exported it as Quicktime. When I view the movie, there is no sound output. At first I thought this might be iMovie, but I then tried using another video program to output the video file (as Quicktime). Once again...

Hi, Recently, the left hinge on my TiBook 15" 1GhZ fractured, and the screen became loose. On close inspection, it seems as if the metal was faulty, as the screen had not been put under any pressure or dropped or anything like that! I rang Apple, who are arranging to have it fixed... then a...

Hi all, I have a 15" PBook G4 1Ghz with 512MB of memory. Im using panther, and for my course I have to do a lot of video, graphic and web work. Im thinking of upgrading the memory to 1GB, as I know memory upgrades have a good impact on PC hardware - does the same apply to the mac? I.e. am I...

Just thought I'd put an idea forward (and hope that someone from Apple may read it...! :) ) I know there has been a lot of controversy over the brushed metal look in Panther. It's a lot better than I thought it would be, but for such a polished OS as Panther, it looks pretty amateur. On the...

Hi, I have a 1Ghz PBG4 running OSX 10.2.8, and am having no luck whatsoever with DVD-Rs. I have checked with apple that the drive reads DVD-R (as opposed to DVD+R), but every time I put one of these discs in, it is ejected straight away (after much 'grinding'). Does anybody have any clues...

Hi, I am not a tester, and only recently switched to Mac. However, I have a couple of questions about the upcoming OS that I would be grateful if anyone could answer. 1. Could anyone tell me if text rendering in Panther has improved over Jaguar? I find the text anti-aliasing in 10.2.x just...
