I know it's MacOSX.com. All of a sudden in the last few days, Mail flakes out and can't get my MacOSX.com email. It NEVER did that before. Now all of a sudden I'm getting all my new incomming Topic Reply Notification emails with some stupid "THIS EMAIL IS SPAM!!!!" message tacked onto it. I AM...

Does the screensaver run when on the login screen? And if it does, how do I choose it? I have moved all my Screensavers into my Home's "Library/Screensavers" folder for convenience, so if it requires I have them in the main Library, forget it. Just curious as I got the SereneScreen...

I would like to write a script. Either AppleScript or a Shell Script. Whichever is more convenient. That will be run at login. What it will do is randomly pick a file from a specified folder, copy it to a certain directory and rename it to a certain name. To clarify, it will pick a JPG...

I don't know if it's a feature or a bug, either way it's an annoyance. Whenever I type o/ in the Terminal it changes it to ø. This is NOT what I want.; I can't type URL's that work because of this. I don't know how long it's done this but I only noticed it yesterday when I tried to Curl a file...

My friend would like to keep all his email from his Windows XP PC in Outlook Express so he would like to get it from OE on Windows to Mail.app on his iMac. Is there ANY WAY to do this? Thanks

I need to set up a Network for our house to connect all our computers to my Cable Modem. Here's what I have: iMac with 10.2.3 GateWay with 98SE Compaq with XP Home Xbox with future Live account Acer with 98SE Now, the iMac will be connected directly to the router. The other PC's will...

Sheesh! I'm deleting a Backup off my FW HD of my main HD. I don't need it. I can't just reformat the HD as there are other backups on it. So it's in the Trash and I choose Empty Trash and it is taking FOREVER! JUST TO COUNT! WHY the hell does the Mac OS COUNT every file? And WHY is it so...

Anyone know what this arrow means in the Status column? I never saw it before now. It's in the Sent Messages folder. [Picture Removed from server. Message edited to reflect.]

Anyone know how to accomplish this? The Find dialog first of all should be resizable. Silly Apple made it static with only room for 4 folders/drives. I want to make it bigger. I know omeone did it before. I saw a screenshot, so I know it's possible and I'm not afraid to hack my OS. I've done...

Ok, I placed this thread in the Unix section because I figure Unix peeps would know most about it. If it's in the wrong place, please move it. Anyway, I am really mad. Ok, the story is I used to have a font available to all apps called "VT100" which as you guys prolly know is a monospaced...

I can recieve my new @macosx.com mail, but I can't send. I need to make sure I got all the settings correct. I hate having to load a webpage to send email. It might be an AOL problem. I couldn't send my ISP mail through it either, but I don't know. They suck anyway. What settings...

My iMac, that's what. All of a sudden about 2 hours ago I got a problem. It all started with me trying to mount an image for an app called "AquiliCalendar" when the OS quit all apps one by one. Not quit. CRASHED all apps. So I tried to delete the damn DMG when I found out I CAN NOT DRAG. I...

Ok.. My friend asked me what would happen if he moved his Home out of the Users folder and removed the Users folder. I said the computer would explode in a fury of rage and burning silicon. Or at least Kernel Panic or screw up a lot. I said it's a Unix thing. Explained that Unix was made...

Say I have a folder full of files with a .gif extension. How can I rename them all to have a .jpg extension easily? Thanks.

A couple simple questions about AppleScript. First, you know about my mysterious "Temporary Items" problem. So I want to do some tests. How would I make a script that runs in the background, watches a folder for certain folders/files being created and acts when one appears? Like, for...

What exactly are these "Temporary Items" folders for? They show up all the time and if I delete them, they come back. If they're OS X's, why can't the OS make them a ".temp" folder so they don't show up! If it's some app, what is doing it? They show up on all HD's. I have 4 partitions. One...

I DON'T KNOW WHY. I have two separate email services. My Mac.com address which uses Apple's SMTP server for outgoing mail and my own dialup's Jasoco Mail which uses mail.jasoco.com to send mail. But the screwy thing is I can only send mail while connected to the internet through AOL. But...

Okay, so I have a whole bunch of things set to launch at Login, but there's a bug in the darn thing that makes it so not all apps launch or acknowledge that they have launched and it is annoying. I have the following set to launch at login.. DragThing Net Monitor WeatherPop...

Ok. My story. Can I make VCD's in OS X? Can I make them easily? What would I need? My plan: To copy favorite TV shows and old movies from VHS tapes to my PowerMac as MPEG's (Or whatever) then onto VCD's. I can take care of the getting the video onto the computer, but can I put it on a...
