    Bypassing list/grid function in Dock folders?

    Hey everyone, I just started working on a new Macbook and this is my first exposure to 10.6.7 (don't laugh ;)). I'm trying to get the folder icons I'm used to having in the Dock, but am running into issues. In 10.4, I'd just drag the folder down to the Dock by the trash, it would stick, and...

    One quad-core vs. one 8-core (two quad-cores)

    Our design firm is looking to upgrade our Macs so I'm doing a bit of research. Right off the bat though, I'm confused about the number of processor cores available, namely the Mac Pro with a 2.8 quad-core vs. two 2.4 quad-cores (8-core). Our shop still uses CS3 now and will be upgrading to...

    VPN to network drive slows down Adobe programs?

    Please bear with me, as this is a long description... I'm running a G5 PPC with OSX 10.4.11 and all my Adobe software is CS3. (Also, apologies if this is in the wrong section, since it seems to cover networking, programs, and general OSX.) I recently began working remotely for my company...

    Firefox 3 immediately crashes when started

    I'm currently running OSX (10.4.11) and have been using Firefox 2 for a while now. I finally got around to downloading and installing Firefox 3, but when I try and start it up it crashes with this error: Add-ons...

    Disable slight window transparency in OS 10.4?

    I'm running 10.4.11 and've just run into a problem with a slight bit of transparency my windows have. It seems to be happening in Firefox (version 2.0), so I'm not sure if it's an OS thing or a Firefox thing. My browser window appears to have a slight bit of transparency, like it's at 95%...

    Randomly display a server-side include?

    It should be. I don't think there are any restrictions against it but I'm sorry to say I don't know the first thing about coding in PHP, so it might be a little bumpy unless it really is step-by-step easy. The only hiccup I can think of is that the site's already built out in HTML/.shtml and...

    Randomly display a server-side include?

    I'm working on a plain old .shtml website, with the "fanciest" element being that it uses server-side includes. Each subpage has a sidebar with an area for a blurb of text with a "Tell me more!"-esque button that links to another page in the site. I'd like to set up a handful of SSIs that...

    Updating a ColdFusion site?

    (I read the "what to post here" and think this belongs... So hopefully it does. ;)) A client has approached me and asked if I'd would be willing to do some general maintenace on a ColdFusion site they have. I'm not personally familiar with .cfm at all– is that something that can be easily...

    Sudden poblem w/ Fusion, Indesign, and a font

    I've been using Indesign CS3 (5.0) and Suitcase Fusion (12.1.7) happily for about a year and a half with little to no issues. Now suddenly I'm having some issues with Indesign documents I've worked on fine in the past couple months. Specifically, I've been using the GillSans family in a series...

    FileMaker 6 capabilities?

    Is anyone here familiar with FileMaker Pro? I'm using FileMaker 6 Pro for timesheets and as a database of active and inactive jobs I'm working on. I currently use the FM6 client on both PCs and Macs in the office with the .fp5 databases stored and accessed on a Windows 2003 network server...

    Suitcase Fusion - removing a problematic font

    I'm using Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7. My Helvetice Neue fonts are causing it to crash whenever they're selected or try to activate. Fusion tells me to remove the font so it won't crash, but as soon as I select it in the font list... Fusion crashes. So as it stands now, I can't activate, select...

    Safari won't update?

    Actually, I take that back... I did some more checking and I was correct in the first place. 10.4.2 is lower than 10.4.11 (.11 is the latest 10.4 update). It doesn't go .18, .19, .2; it really does mean .2 is point-two and .11 is point-eleven. I can also verify that because AutoUpdate doesn't...

    Safari won't update?

    Ahh! Geez, you're right, I was thinking 2 vs. 11. D'oh! ;) Running an OS update now... m19

    Safari won't update?

    I'm currently running OS 10.4.11 and Safari 1.3.2. I've downloaded the 2.0.1 update for Safari but when I run it, I get a "this software requires Mac OS 10.4.2" and it won't let me install the update. I would've figured since my OS version of .11 is higher than .2, I should have no problems–...

    File boxes don't remember last location

    The weird thing is, it was working fine and remembering last positions in the dialog boxes up to about a month or two ago. I don't think it's simply the fact that it's a Window shared drive (which it is) since that's the case, but unfortunately I couldn't say what's changed on said server to...

    Indesign CS3 won't update links, nor place updated graphics from shared drive

    I'm running OS v10.4.10 with Indesign CS3 v5.0. My files are stored on a (Windows) shared network drive. The problem is two-fold. 1) Links aren't updating automatically when working off the the shared drive. If I have a document with a linked graphic, then update the graphic in Photoshop...

    Random crashes w/ Indesign, Photoshop, Word

    One of the Macs in my office has been experiencing very frustrating random program crashes for a while now: the designer will be working normally and suddenly the program (usually Photoshop or Indesign) will just crash for no apparent reason. I'd been happening with CS for a while; we recently...

    File boxes don't remember last location

    I'd tried the various suggestions posted and so far nothing's made a difference (but I do appreciate the guidance), but I think I've discovered yet another piece of the puzzle... First off, in Photoshop I opened a file off our Design drive (a network drive all our designers have access to) then...

    File boxes don't remember last location

    Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work. I actually trashed that preference along with other programs' (Photoshop and Indesign, as a start) but still have the problem: opened a file, saved it in the directory, then both another "save as" and "open" start me out in the Documents folder. This is...
