Hello all, When using mail.app on a MacBook and sending a message, the folder "Sent" changes temporarily to "Sending ..." and displays a spinning progress wheel, and eventually it changes back to "Sent" once I hear the "whoosh" indicating the mail successfully went out. However, when using...

Hi all, I have one of the aluminum PowerBook G4s that has a lot of trouble with signal strength with the internal airport card, so I purchased a Motorola WN825G PC card. What I'm not sure how to do is tell OS X to use the Motorola card instead of the Airport card. I'm hoping it's not...

Hi all, I have a backup script that I wrote that uses hdiutil to burn an image file to the disc at the very end. I want to switch to 8.5 GB 2.4x DVD+R discs owing to the size of our backup data (we had been using regular 4.7 GB single-layer discs), and the Mac Mini we use for backups has the...

Hi all, So a while back I wrote an Applescript to handle our office backups, and among other things it uses mount_smbfs to grab some mall folders off of individual machines and copy them to the file server. After everything is on the file server, the script calls hdiutil to make an image...

Hello all, I'm dealing with a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.3, and it's connected at times to an external monitor. When waking from sleep, sometimes the external monitor comes back on but the internal monitor doesn't, even after a reboot! Only disconnecting the external monitor and rebooting...

Ever since installing Tiger, I've noticed that if Classic is running when I put my laptop to sleep, it chews up about 75-80% of available CPU cycles after waking from sleep. I was hoping that this was a bug that Apple would fix with the 10.4.3 upgrade, but it persists. Have others seen this...

Hello all, I've run into some oddness with file sizes of graphics in OS X 10.4.3 that I thought some others may have seen. The drive is formatted as HFS+ (just to avoid any thought of it being a minimum block size issue). I don't recall seeing this problem with OS X 10.2.8. So I have an...
