Pierre I am quite aware of the fact that the current service policy has some unfortunate sides to it. However, please keep in mind that Apple has nothing to gain by having her customers walking away. And while it is clearly inadequate to let customers wait for their top-of-the-range...

I was having the same problems, logged in as root. I found the problem to be the invisible files. I just could'nt delete them. For example AppleWorks 6.2... I gave up and deleted the files when started up uner MacOS 9.1 I don't really know what to do, the only adive I can give is to do it in...

really? that would be great, but I just heard that the sound and volume controls will be moved to the title bar beside the clock...

no no harder the files are not locked. the problem dissapeared after update to 10.0.4 though. still cant delete files inside invisible folders? special command there?

My absolute Favorites are: TinkerTool and XMorph. TinkerTool will let you set different options such as finder options, dock options, fonts and terminal transparency. (http://www.macosxapps.com) - search for TinkerTool XMorph will VERY easely let you change themes...

Oh and... you're right of course. your iBook DOESNT look like a purse. It reminds me more of an "attach-it-yourself" colorful Toilet Seat... ;)

On that particular subject: I've had problems with file permissions even as root user! Sometimes I need to boot OS 9 to delete the files I want... weird!?

Sorry to say I've had the same problem with 10.0.3. The only difference was that I had OS 9 on a second partition. I can only tell you what I did after counless attempts to avert it: I started from the 9.1 CD (you can start from OS X CD also) and reformatted the whole drive into two new...

I could understand Apple's attitude if the TiBook was an old model - you can't please evryone. But the TiBook is a new machine, built at a time when OS X Public Beta was out already by a long shot. That is not the way to keep customers happy.

From what I can see, more than half of the REAL problems posted here are not known at Apple initially. God bless us all for trying. :) I am just starting to use this forum. I am not only using it to post problems, but it was indeed a problem which sent me looking for an OS X Forum initially...

Sorry everyone, I didn't want to post stupid questions. But I did, so... sorry. The QuickTime Player does the job allrighty.

OK. How the hell do I play Video CD's on the mac using a third-party utility? Apple DVD player does not seem to support them... any ideas anyone?

Not that I am a definitive Source or anything, but that one should only leave today TUESDAY or tomorrow WEDNESDAY.

I'm surely not the only one who noticed that on TiBooks, the Sound Volume and Brightness Buttons on the Keyboards are useless. The Volume Buttons do not display the Volume on screen when pressed, rendering them pretty useless. The Brightness Buttons only work when the Display Preferences have...

I'm sorry to say I've had simelar problems with my TiBook. The disk was found allright, but shortly before the Login the sartup stopped. Apple Support (the so-called specialist support that comes with a protection plan) was unable to offer anything apart from re-installing. So I did. And it...

Is there a way to manage the memory usage in Mac OS X? I have loads of spare physical RAM, yet still OS X uses over 600MB of virtual memory. Is there a way to tell it to use more of the "real" RAM instead? Unused RAM is over 400MB... Thanks for your help!

Allrighty, I know what the problem is (at least on my TiBook): USB. The 10.0.4. update included new lines for USB. Well, they dont seem to be perfect. When I unplug my USB Devices, the clicking stops instantly. To be precise, it would seem that my SuperDrive from imation is causing the...

Sorry, no solution, jus a confirmation. It only started after my update to 10.0.4 though, but I'm not sure is that's the problem. I heard it the first time after installing Transmit... it's annoying, I dont want to use OS X anymore because I am afraid the HD will give up service. :mad:
