Mac Pro with OS 10.4.10 When I print a file to PDF does it embed the fonts? I have to submit a pdf file and they request that I have the fonts embedded, and I don't know if what I produce on the mac has embedded fonts. I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Also, if the fonts are not...

Thanks. I didn't know about what the "home" key did...very useful. I'll give "folder control" a try try. Maybe someone at apple will think my way of thinking about this is useful. I know there are lots of other ways of looking at folders, files, and windows... I just want to be able to set it...

Over time I have learned that one of the most important aspects of computing is controling the size of the windows I deal with (the real estate on my screen, and the way the files are presented). I love OSX but there are some controls I want to have that I can't figure out, and I think they...

I logged in as root, so I could write in the Library/Logs directory. I copied the DirectoryServer.service.log file, since it was a type owned by the "console" program, and renamed the copy Software Update.log. I double clicked on this file and it ran the console program and I cleared the old...

I have no Software Update.log file in my Library/Logs folder (which may be the problem). I tried to copy an error.log file with the console program, but I can't write in the Logs folder even though I have admin privileges. Maybe I can copy and create the Software Update.log file in the...

I am running Pather. That button is greyed out and won't do anything. What is the name of the log file in logs? -- andy

In the Software Update preferences program, I don't see any log of installed files, even though I regularly update my system software. I don't see any settings I can make or a way to create a log file. How can I get the software update program to keep a log of my updates? andy@purdue.edu

Is there a way I can just color a folder in panther? I don't want the label to make the text a color and not the folder. Is there a place where I can get folder icons to replace the ones I have so I can visually see a folder's differerence? I really don't like panther labels, or it should be...

Bob: Sorry for the post here. I am at Purdue University on our network, so there I don't think its my ISP, but I'll try to see why they can't see mail.macosx.com My other email seems to work ok and my setting have been fine for a long time. Here is the message I get... The original...

Help! Is the an email problem at macosx.com? Email I send to an account there, help@macosx.com and webmaster@osx.com about my son's account bouncing back unsent is also bounced. There should be an announcement at the top of the macosx page if they are having this trouble so a paying customer...

I cloned my main HD with carbon copy cloner, and now, even though I have my main drive as my startup drive, when I click on a file (like a Word file) it starts up the application from the cloned drive. I have the apps in the dock (but not running) and it still starts another copy of the app...

I had a power outage last week and didn't realize the date was wrong when I rebooted. It got set to 1970. This caused an authentication certificate date error when I installed itunes 4.0 and tried to use the store. Unfortunately I tried upgrading to 10.2.6 to fix the problem before I noticed...

Well, I'm answering my own question. When we had a storm last week the power outage took my G4 down and reset my date to 1970. Apparently some certificate that is needed by the itunes authentication server got a wrong date on it when I installed itunes 4.0 When I reset the date and rebooted...

When I connect at work with a broadband connection I can use iTunes 4.0 and authenticate at the Music Store, but when I try from home with the same OS version, I get a -9815 connect error which says to check my internet connection. I am at the store seeing the song lists, but why can't I...

I am using OS X jaguar and trying to learn some C++ programming. I bought a good book and it has examples that seem to be working in Project Builder. I can compile and run some simple programs, but I am running into cases where the library functions the programs examples call don't seem to be...

I have Entourage at work and at home so I can continue working on my work files, but when I copy the MS User Data Folder from my Documents folder and then copy them to my home folder of the same name it doesn't see the data when I run Entourage. It makes me start Entourage as though it is the...

Cmd-Shift-3 seems to capture af full screen in Preview, and Cmd-Shift-4 gives you a cursor to select an area and then into a Preview file. I would like for the area selected to go into the "copy" buffer automatically, rather than having to open the Preview file and then doing "copy", and then...

Thanks for the info and the timely reply! Great forum. Andy Hughes (long time unix user... never been root 'til now)

How did they get the OS to take spaces in filenames, since unix treats as space as a delimiter? So for example cp file newfile would get confused by a space in the file name. Do I put files with spaces in the names in quotes? I know I can use * to match things, but how does it keep track...
