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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I have a 20 GB hard drive that has my 10.1 system and files, and a 60 GB drive I can back up to. I have my files in the normal folder locations (applications, docs, etc.). How can I back up my whole main disk to my backup drive such that if my main disk ever crashed I could get things back? I...
