    So, I am attempting to process every frame of a movie using QTMovie and have a loop that looks like this: while (QTTimeCompare([myMovie currentTime], [myMovie duration]) != NSOrderedSame) { // I do some stuff with some things [myMovie stepForward]; } And it works just fine, but...

    Cocoa freezes during function

    OK, this isn't real important, but I was just wondering if anyone here who know objective-c/cocoa could tell me how this works. I have a program that is supposed to update a NSTextField to tell the user what the program is currently doing and also to update a NSProgressIndicator to show how...

    how to 'uninstall' games?

    On one application that I used I installed it from a CD and didn't actually put the installer file on my HD, but when I put the CD back in and ran the installer when I was reinstalling the software I noticed that there was a list menu, one option of which was 'uninstall'. So if you installed it...

    CodeWarrior 9 go boom...

    I don't know about code warrior, but if your worry is that it is built to handle such a large file, and you're on OS X, then you could try xcode or g++ on the command line.

    I need help with if and else statements.

    The condition "hour == 1-24" is read as "hour == -23" because '-' is the subtraction operator. What you want is "hour>=1 && hour <= 23".

    Mail crashes after reading e-mail

    I don't claim to have any idea of what's going on, but it might be that an update could help (assuming your version is not up to date). Just go to the apple menu->software update and check for an update to mail. That is what I do when my programs don't work.

    iPod video converter??

    I had a strange experience with iSquint, so I guess I'll tell it just in case it helps anyone: The first converted videos I made wouldn't play, so I opened the advanced drawer and filled in every single entry field (fps, kbps, etc.) and then it worked fine. Don't know if anyone needed that...

    Safari plays video files in the browser.

    Use firefox for sure. Then you can just go to the movie and file->Save page as.

    is php the language to write this?

    Yeah, that sounds good for PHP, python, Perl, whichever. And regarding Captain Code's comment on a database, I guess it depends on how many people there are. I think a multilayered array would work pretty well if you don't have excessive amounts of people.

    [HOWTO] - simply turn Finder's showing of hidden files on or off

    That's cool. Usually to get at those files I go to Terminal and give it the 'open' command for whatever directory I want and finder shows it.

    iMac G4 - Monitor has gone Pink

    This hasn't got anything to do with the problem (all I can think is to go to sytem preferences and mess around with the settings in the display section), but it does have to do with screen colors. On OS X command-alt-ctrl-8 is pretty trippy! (It reverses black and white points.)

    USB Wireless?

    I agree with what's been said. I've used USB wireless adapters on an iMac, but airport card installation isn't too troublesome and once you get it installed it is much easier to configure on the computer.

    How can i Change ICON of Dashboard in Dock?

    Something interesting that I have noticed about changing icons in OS X is that in the system help it tells you that if you go to the info window of a file or folder, select the icon, select edit->copy, go to the info window of the file you want to change, select the icon, select edit->paste...
