I have an iBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11 which I have had for a few years now. However, today when I opened the lid (I almost never shut it down) I found that it would not accept my password. Now, I know what you're thinking; I must have forgot my password. But I have had this password for a...

Recently over the last couple of days I have noticed a change in non-anti aliased 10pt Monaco font in applications such as SubEthaEdit, Xcode and Terminal. A few of the characters look 'ugly' and different, while some, such as () which never used to 'line-up' the ) was always smaller seem to be...

A few weeks ago now the hard disk in my iBook G4 died, forcing me to replace it and re-install the operating system. Everything (seemed) to go fine. Today, however, when I tried to use my iBooks bluetooth functionality I found that even with bluetooth on and set to discoverable people could...

I am currently playing around with the Zend Framework, but am having trouble getting mod_rewrite to work. I have enabled .htaccess files in my user directory to over-ride any settings in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and then downloaded a tutorial/example and placed it into...

Last week the hard disk on my iBook G4 died (well, it is not totally dead, it still works for a couple of minutes before giving me the click of death). This means that I will need to replace it. Since my iBook is out of its warranty period I am probably going to have to do it myself. However...

Hi. For some reason my User font collection is dimmed off all the time and I am unable to enable it (such as Edit -> Enable). I am not sure when this happened, however it would appear to be in the last two weeks. I have looked at the Apple support article on it, which was of little help...

I am currently in the process of learning Carbon (using the aptly titled book, learning carbon) and am quite enjoying it, coming from a procedural background. However playing around in the interface builder and looking at Apples HIG I have found that there seem to be significantly fewer Carbon...

I am having some trouble mounting an NFS export on my Mac. I have followed this guide here: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~salathe/osx_unix/nfsmount.html (harder but more robust way) and it seems to have mounted it fine - the problem is that I can not write to the NFS share. On my host...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get Xcode to print out the line numbers when you print a source code file? I often print out my nicely highlighted source code and would very much like to see the line numbers as well; like I do in the editor. Thanks for all of your help.

I have been having trouble with finder and ftp support for a while now and it is starting to get very annoying. If I type into the address bar of Safari the address of my local ftp server (ftp://192.168.0.5) I will start connecting and 1/5 times it will connect (after a long wait) other times it...

I have a problem with the software updater in OS X (10.4.2), normally it works fine, apart from when it comes to updating iTunes. The last two iTunes updates (5.0.0 and 5.0.1) have caused the auto software updater to stall on 'Install iTunes'. Last time this happened I just went to the apple...

Hi, one of my Dads friends has just given me an old iMac, saying that the hard drive is dead. However, I am not sure what model it is. I have taken a look around but nothing on apple-history seems to match what I have sitting next to me. All I know is that it is puprle, has two firewire and two...

Hi, I have just got a new iBook, which I am very pleased with (it is my first mac). However, I am having some trouble updating Java. Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) comes with Java 1.4.2, however I am a Java 1.5 (J2SE 5.0) developer and make use of many of the features in Java 1.5. So, I went to apple's...
