    Podcasting - who cares?

    Wow, what a lot of wining over something that's free. I say, take it or leave it! I like some of the podcastings that one can download and listen to "on the go". There are more that I do not want to listen to so....what's the big deal? There are worse things to rant about, imv. ;) Cheers!

    -That may be true but perhaps he did not notice that option because of the feature's lack of huge capitals? :p G

    Importing Bookmarks from Safari to Firefox?

    Well...upgraded to Tigrrr from Panther and all is well...except, I do not know how to import my Safari bookmarks to Firefox. I've searched so many places now (including Mozilla.org and macforas) but can't find any other references to this subject other than "importing from IE to F.F." and I do...

    Omg Help!

    Did that once myself...ended up having to reinstall my OS! I had tryed to fix it with everything and anything (tips that others gave me) but had to give up after some days because it had really messed up a lot of things for me. Realised that it would be better to reinstall than go on, even if...

    Policy on Warez, Serialz, and P2P Discussions

    I'm one that has actually scrolled down and read all the posts here :) I could not agree more with both Bobs and frykes views on the subject. To me it is pretty simple and clear from the start. Either you respect the rules of a board (that is moderated--->for the sake of all) or you do...

    No restart nor shutdown via apple menu.

    profx: nope...that didn't work. The puter just restarted. fryke: I'm not afraid of a reinstallment. It's just a big nuissance, that's all. Reinstalling all the programs and prefs all over again. I asure you that these have grown in size in very little time ;) But on the whole; yes...you're...

    No restart nor shutdown via apple menu.

    DeltaMac: aaah, that's why it didn't work. Every darn space, dot and slash is vital when typing. A lack of a space makes all the difference. profx: never heard of that. interesting, but what utility are you speaking of that I need the password to? If what you mentioned is correct then I...

    Doh! "UID" = user identity, "GID" = group identity. Silly me. Still...no numbers.

    No restart nor shutdown via apple menu.

    Thank you Darkshadow for the Terminal tips. I suspect I will find the fix there if I can do it right. I'm not a Unix fantast but I did think that that must be the only thing I can use to solve my problem or...reinstall the whole darn OS again. I have fixed other stuff via the Terminal before...

    No restart nor shutdown via apple menu.

    Thank's deltamac for that info. Down here you can see what probably is going on. And no...nothing happens when I try to restart, shut down or log out via the apple menu... So here's what's happend: I think I now know where the problem lies. It doesn't lie with permissions but with where I...

    No restart nor shutdown via apple menu.

    Actually...I jumped for joy too soon. I thought it worked but missjudged it too early. The thing is...when i try out what you said I found out that the checked box was already checked but greyed out. When I've added another user I had no way to log out via the new one nor shut down, nor...

    No restart nor shutdown via apple menu.

    Hi. My problem lies with not being able to go to apple/finder menu to shut down or restart my G4 800 Mac. Panther is installed and every possible upgrade is made. I am forced to shut down by pressing the power button on the G4 box for it to work. I can log out and do a sleep via the...

    Stickies and "sticking", so to speak...

    Woha! Thank's for that info. I had no idea that this actually is a bug. Good to know how to handle the stickies in the future as well. Again, ta! /G
