Does anyone know the terminal command for toggling on/off the System Prefs for Keyboard & Mouse? I'd use it for an Automator workflow or Quickeys shortcut. The specific setting is "Use all F1, F2, etc keys as standard function keys." I and many other Cinema 4D users find ourselves...

Anyone ever have folders start appearing on their desktop? I had 500, then I restarted and there were 300, and now they're propagating with different names than 'untitled folder.' Some are named 'RequiredSystemBreakdown' and some are called 'CheckFormat' along with the usual couple hundred...

A quick google shows files with this extension to be Amiga Warp files. Are files of this kind openable with an OS X application?

Perfect! Great tip! govinda

I must be missing something. Address Book only has import filters for VCards, LDIF and Text. Which of these is usable to import saved Address Book data? I just did an erase-and-install but saved my AddressBook.data along with other files out of my library (ABPerson.skIndexInverted...

Thanks, I'll try the Tiger disk. But will this erase whatever user is currently set for that volume? If so, I worry about erasing all data associated with the user, which is to say erase everything on that drive. Regardless, I'm doing a major backup today...

Yes, thanks, I'm talking about 'Erase and Install.' 933Mhz G4, 768mb ram, 10.3.9. I've tried cleaning my Panther install disk but to no avail. The error is always the same, and it occurs after two tasks completed--(1) checking the install disk and (2) writing the software. After the 'writing...

Let's say the answer is: put/carbon copy clone the contents of your CDs onto your other drive, and install from there. Or put it them on your firewire and target-disk-mode boot from there. The problem is that the installer package prompts for a restart upon opening and then looks for an...

Hi, first post. Mac user since 1986. I've been having a day of it. I'm trying to clean-reinstall my old copy of 10.3 from the disk to one of my internal HDs. I haven't had any success making bootable copies of the disk or using some other volume (FW drive, my other internal HD) to install...
