topics about right. when i install CLI apps the bash returns with "command not found". i got around this with mplayer by making a bashrc with mplayer's path, but im using the shell more and more and this spitwad&bubblegum patch just wont do any longer. any guru willing to help me out...

i'd just run a hardware test on disk utility or with the cd's that come with it.. if no flags are raised then it shouldn't be an issue. Unusual.. i guess the system thought it wasn't able to access itself and.. kernel panic XD

.exe files are windows dependent. they require windows libraries to run. I would suggest looking into wine or something like it for mac. You can install windows on any intel mac with bootcamp to boot into windows, but it's best to get apps native to macos X you can find mac equivalents to...

that sounds serious.. it's not detecting the cd in the drive? do you have a local apple store?

that is a kernel panic. (the exponentially rarer mac version of bsod) there are several potential causes of this, but my gut is telling me the hard drive could be failing, i'd do a test on it with disk utility(in the macos cd that came with the system) or apple hardware test to make sure, and...

I believe new macs have system migration tools built into them which are compatible with windows pcs and other macs and give you plenty of options. I'd google around for it or search this site for tips on it, but It's been so long since i've used the tools i forgot where they were accessed.

there was a guy who managed to get the MS release of their "vc1 demo decoder" to work with mplayer in order to convert wmv files, though it couldnt play them real time. it's very advanced stuff though.. while i could figure out his procedure for getting mplayer cvs compiled from source i could...

ok.. cable modem first. Did you try rebooting the modem with the mac connected to it? in the old days modems just adapted to whatever computer was there, nowadays they seem to need rebooting any time you connect something different to it. This started happening with comcast's service about a...

leopard is entering beta phase.. I can assume it will be available within the next year. If youre a student you can get a student copy (only difference is package is marked "student") for about 75 bucks. You don't have to upgrade, but I find it helps out a lot for power users and people...

The case did not remain the same though, it was seriously renovated inside.. it's much better in my opinion. The price is amazing though for what you get. I got a twin 2.7 before the g5 went quad and i'm going to stick with it for a while though, i'm still paranoid and want to see another 4...

also useful is macpar deluxe, found at versiontracker.com

glad to be of help. I have noticed with the upgrade from X.3 to X.4 that the memory exchange is less efficient than it was before in demanding tasks. While irksome to me, I can only assume it was for a good reason, and hopefully it will be fixed in leopard.

there is the osX86 project, which produces installers which work with normal pcs. However, because theyre navigating around DRM restrictions which are being re-implemented each update, you need to get any and all updates from that project. I still use ppc apple, but I've heard reports from...

Greetings, and impressive system. I have a similar system processor-wise (g5 though) but 2 gigs of ram, and I sometimes notice it will "freeze" while running many tasks, especially when you switch between them often. I can only assume it's to load pagefile (virtual memory) from the hard disk...

I'm engaged in a project which requires I install dia, but i'm running into dependency issues when using darwin ports, which is supposedly the simplest way to install from source. Looking at the documentation from their homepage, it seems someone was able to figure out how to get it done on...

So, i've been reading reports of intel macs shipping with the much dreaded and despised "trusted platform modules" (TPM's) installed and active by default. So far reports have shown their use has only been to keep MacOS on mac hardware only, but I have more in depth questions regarding this...

i've never had jumper issues before.. but to add to their comments, if absolute worst comes to worst you can always get a firewire enclosure for the drive, which would make it more palatable for the system. If i were in your shoes though i'd try to mirror the jumper settings from the first...

I have the same revision of the g4 and am well versed with the interior. so i'll post you a tutorial.. if you pull the handle on the side and fold down the side panel you'll see the followng layout: the panel you folded down will have the mother board, pci slots and heat sink. The...

After a recent windfall i'm seeking to build a g5 to be my home media center, including functionality as a PVR for current dtv and future HDTV signals, but i've been running into confusion. For one it seems like there are separate pieces of hardware for dealing with HDTV cable/satellite and...
