you didn't install Apple's java 1.4.1 preview did you? I think there is a way of reverting back to 1.3.1 that is described in the doc.

After upgrading to 10.2 I was having the most terrible problems with my computer. The UI would crash several times a day for no apparent reason. Crashes seemed to occur a lot when dragging windows so I suspected the graphics card. But I checked the RAM and the graphics card and both were...

Hi, As far as I know, system freezes in 10.1 almost always have to do with faulty hardware. My friend's PBG4 400 kept crashing (without kernal panic) and it turned out to be the motherboard, which apple replaced. Now my G4 450MHz 450 is freezing in 10.2 but rumor has it that it is an...

Hi, I recently installed 10.2 (yes, from retail CDs) on my G4 450 MHz AGP. Ever since I have had regular system freezes where the mouse stops moving and the system becomes completely unresponsive. It happens pretty randomly -- moving a window, unhiding an application, printing, etc. At...

I've been having the darker-than-expected system highlight color as well. In addition, I've had this happen a few times where my battery reading says 100..90..80..70..60..50..45% and then suddenly drops to zero and the machine goes to sleep. This is a new 10.2 issue. Has anyone else had...

Hi, After I installed 10.2 on my G4 450 AGP, it was freezing up a lot (mouse would be unresponsive). This was even after I did a clean install. I noticed that the clean install hadn't changed my login items. In there was the Microsoft Mouse startup as well as a few other things. Once I...

That happened all the time for me with an earlier build of 10.1 (5G24 I think). Are you sure you have 5G64?

Go to the command line and type apachectl restart for a more detailed error message. Respond with what it says if you want more help.

Hi, The modified source code that compiles as well as a precompiled package are available at: http://homepage.mac.com/jessecostellogood/public.html

I finally figured out a way to compile the source. I'll be posting a package soon for people who don't want to mess with the headers.

Has anyone been able to successfully compile and install Embedded Perl (Embperl) on MacOS X (10.1). Compilation gives me a 'symbol defined multiple times' error. I tried modifying the make file to ignore multiply-defined symbols but still couldn't get it to work. Any ideas?

I have read that there is a way to get the classic app Finder to launch as any other application under OSX. This would give you access to the OS9 finder. I think the hack involved opening Finder in a resource editor and changing a flag (making it look like a normal application that can be...

Hi, I've noticed that often one bright white pixel appears on my screen in MacOS X. This is not a problem with the display as when I move the mouse over it, it turns black. The pixel, when it appears, is always in the top left-hand corner of the screen just under the menu bar. It's...

Why don't you download the preview version of Toast (5P2), mount the image and save it in .dmg format? Though I'm not sure Toast recognizes .cdr format.

As for cleaning the screen, I have been able to get all those marks off, though it takes a little patience. First you can buy certain cleaners made specifically for laptop screens although I haven't found that these take off the really strong lines that look like the keyboard imprinted on the...

Thanks, I actually noticed after I sent the message that the 10.1 Developer Tools has a great tutorial about how to use the PreferencePane framework to create a System Preference module.

He totally ruins this new Star Trek series for me. Didn't they do any audience testing with him? I've loved every other ST series and I couldn't even make it through the premier of this one. He is the most annoying captain ever!

Hi, Does anyone know of documentation for creating new Preference Panels for MacOS X? I think that some 3rd party developers (like TinkerTool) have fingured it out. Thanks, Jesse

Thank you for your help. I did end up creating a location on each machine for peer-to-peer sharing over AFP. It works well but from a user's perspective I wish that Apple had been able to duplicate the ease of connecting over AppleTalk in OS9. In OS9 I can just plug the computers into each...
