    C++ header file locations in Project Builder?

    "conio" is a library from Borland for MS-DOS programs. Lots of functions in "conio" (if not all) are not ANSI C++ compliant neither POSIX compliant. Your book is probably made specificaly for DOS. MacOS X has everything in place for you to program in ANSI C++ and you can call POSIX functions...

    Renaming file-extention in the terminal?

    There's just one problem. The "for" control structure does not exist in tcsh. Why don't you just create a shell script? Create a plain text file either with 'pico' in Terminal or with TextEdit.app. Write this: #!/bin/tcsh foreach file (*) mv "$file" "$file:r.mp3" end This will replace...

    Help with connecting to a specfic wireless network

    I guess adding '0x' in front of a key in hexadecimal also works. At my university all WEP keys that the admins announce begin with '0x', and they work with my iBook.

    Wallpaper changes when I plug in headphones!?

    The iBook is actually detecting the headphones jack as if it was the video cable. So it goes into TV display mode. But you already said this. However the behavior of MacOS X when changing display modes has changed since some software update (I don't remember which version... probably since the...

    Keynote Buggy

    I've got an iBook 500 and Keynote crashes it on every presentation. It's an issue with the particular ATI graphics chip that is inside this generation of iBooks. The problem does not lie in Keynote itself, but probably within the interaction between MacOS and the graphics hardware and Apple has...

    Keynote?

    Give Apple a chance?? It crashes my iBook (10.2.3) every single time I play a presentation. Not just a simple application freeze! It causes a kernel panic! Now, from all the people in the world, you would expect that Apple would be the one to know its systems best, both software and hardware...

    Touch pad fails after sleep

    That's a MacOS 10.2.x bug. Every iBook owner I know is experiencing this. It also happens to my iBook. I first checked the HD but nothing was wrong. Then I checked the hardware with the Hardware Test CD that came with the iBook and everything was fine. It's just a plain bad OSX bug. If you check...

    Reconnecting background job and interactive shell

    Use the "screen" command line utility. It doesn't come with MacOSX, but you can download it with fink.

    port some opengl screensavers

    These screen savers look really awesome!! :eek: I have some experience on writing OpenGL applications on MacOSX and I would definitely like to have those on my system! Currently I am all tied up with lots of projects and I don't have the time to do this. But if any free time comes up, I'll...

    Amen! :D First the US beat Portugal. Then they beat Mexico. Today Italy goes home defeated by Korea!!... Watching this World Cup is turning out to be a very surrealistic experience... :eek:

    SSH login

    I have this very same problem on my iBook. I thought it came with 10.1.5 but, as this thread shows, it was already present in 10.1.4. I'm connecting from my linux box (192.168.1.2) that doesn't have a valid dns name. But this shouldn't matter, right? I noticed that if I reboot with sshd...

    Files greyed out?

    It happened once to me. I was using QuickTime Player to open a DivX movie and it was grayed out in the open panel. The file had a really big name. Much more characters than the 31 allowed for classic and carbon apps. Maybe this is the cause of the problem. I don't know... just guessing...

    PC vs. Mac

    I forgot to mention on my previous post... I now own an iBook 500MHz, 640MB RAM, DVD, 10GB HD, and the only thing I would trade it for would either be for an iBook 600 12" or a PowerBook G4 Ti. :D

    PC vs. Mac

    I still own a Performa 6200CD. It was really sweet when I bought it, but it's so slooowww! I don't just mean that it is slow now. I mean it began being really slow just some months after I bought it, when MacOS 8 came out. That and MacOS X is why I chose "G3" on the poll. I mean... get real...

    Ok DISSAPOINTED (new ibook)

    I bought an iBook500 on Sep.2001 in one of the best Mac stores in Lisbon. Mine also didn't have anything installed and it just asked for the Software Restore CDs when it was turned on. But I thought this was a special case. I had called the guy at the store in the morning and picked the...

    Autoupdating & moved apps

    I also have all my Apps categorized inside the Applications folder and that has already happened to me twice, the latest time being with the update to 10.1.2. What I did was to copy all the new files into the apps' packages. It has worked very well both times I did it. The apps got upgraded and...

    The BIG OS 10.2 thread...

    How about fixing the nasty PPP/Modem connection kernel freezes? This has been on MacOS X long enough to make me want to throw my iBook out the window whenever it freezes when I try to connect to the net. Last time it did this it had an uptime of 7 days and I had to force reboot because it froze...

    Mail.app turned into a Folder

    This also happened to me, since I have Mail.app in /Applications/Internet. After the upgrade, I simply went to the terminal and did: This overwrites all files in /Applications/Internet/Mail.app that are also present on the 10.1.1 version, thus leaving you with an upgraded Mail.app. It...

    The two worst things in OS X EVER

    If you have installed the Developer Tools, you should use /Developer/Tools/CpMac and /Developer/Tools/MvMac instead of the usual cp and mv. These two commands will correctly copy/move both the data and resource forks of the macintosh files on a HFS+ volume.
