    Hi again ! As you'll know, on the PowerMac G4's(PCI graphics) logic board you can set the processor speed. That's done in the jumper block (J25). Now, I've been told the metal clips inside the jumper block are 'regular clips' used (or that were used) throughout the industry. Can anyone give...

    Toast doesn't burn 800MB CD-Rs ?

    I'm trying to burn a 800MB CD-R using Toast (as I succeeded once with Toast, burning a SVCD). However, there seems to be no way to have Toast recognize the correct size of the CD (it always indicates 700MB). I can't find where to set the size manually either. The Finder/DU don't correctly...

    How to recover deleted items

    Right, here it comes. Made a back-up of some files only to find afterwards that one was corrupted during back up. I deleted the original file on my HD. Now, Panther features journalling which I have enabled. Supposedly, that allows you to recover deleted items. Is that right, and if so, how do...

    Reuters and Panther - Still no luck

    Just as under Jaguar it is impossible to watch the TV console on Reuters main page (http://www.reuters.com/). You get the following explanation: "The Reuters Television is not yet optimized for your operating system and/or browser."

    Panther's sleekness: Memory usage

    As most of you probably find, Panther is much faster than its predecessors. When I had a longer look at 'Activity Monitor' it became obvious to me that Applications behave vastly better than under Jaguar. Namely, they take up much less memory and CPU time (less idling loops etc., I guess)...

    RCE, anyone ?

    Okay, here's the deal. Bought a DVD from the US and wanna play it in Germany. Over here, the DVD region code is '2'. Both my stand alone and computer DVD player are coded '2'. I ripped the DVD so as to get rid of the region coding, using 'DVDBackup'. To no avail. Apparently, RCE (Region Code...

    GUI colour

    I'm pretty much impressed overall with Panther... However, the new grey tone that reigns in it gives me the creeps. Does anybody know whether there will be an alternative colour scheme/theme?

    Hello, I'm using Fetch Art to download album art to iTunes. It works fine but I'm looking for a convenient way to copy the art not just to one song but to the complete CD (all songs from one CD that is). Any tips are much appreciated.

    Heavy permissions problem

    Seems like I'm in deep shit, guys. I need to allow external access to one of my FW drives. Accessing it hangs the computer. I was about to check the drive but I get a "Can't open /dev/rdisk3s9: Permission denied" error. Now, I know I can't repair permissions on that volume directly, so I tried...

    There are a couple of password manager out there for the Mac (e.g. Password Wallet, ForgotIt? etc.). Why would I want to use one of those over the built-in KeyChain? Please let me know your thoughts/experiences.

    .rm/.ram in QuickTime ?

    When requesting a .rm or .ram stream on the Internet it either downloads (which is not very convenient) or it tries to load in Quicktime! (Which is catastrophic). I've got the latest version of RealOne and it works okay so far. Has anybody got the same problem? I couldn't find where to adjust...

    Apple from a european perspective

    Apple - from a european perspective. "Apple is Apple no matter how you look at it" you might say. Well, it at times seems that this is not the case. Indeed, the Apple has some mouldy patches turned towards Europe. Why am I writing this? Well, I'm a Mac aficionado and as such would like to...

    font typefaces in X

    As of MacOSX text apps seem to be unable to emulate typefaces (such as italic or bold) that are missing in a given font. Classic used QuickDraw for that purpose. With Quartz, we lost that ability. Does anybody know of a way to create the missing typefaces for a font (without having to design it...
