    Eudora personalities

    My dad is still running Eudora 4.0 and is trying to deal with the junk mail problem. He has decided he wants to have two email addresses, one for family that only allows mail from pre-listed addresses through, and another email address for online order confirmations, etc. since thats likely to...

    My new powerbook - 'Crashy'!

    Network drive mounting is a problem with the Finder, hopefully addressed with Panther. Basically all we can tell you is to remember to umount your network drives when they are still connected. Better yet, don't go to sleep with network drives mounted if you can help it. The Finder is what...

    Diskwarrior 3 Thoughts

    Yeah, I certainly hope that's the case. I read that somewhere on MacFixIt I believe when people were wondering why it was hard to make a bootable CD, why Drive 10 didn't have a Finder, etc. Anyway, it's easy enough to make a bootable CD with a Finder and all the disk repairing programs you'll...

    Diskwarrior 3 Thoughts

    However, Apple has plenty to do with not licensing the Finder out to 3rd party companies, even though the logic of this system is somewhat contradictory. As I understand it, Apple does not license the Finder because of concerns that anyone could reboot a Mac with that Finder-licensed CD and...

    HUGE "bug" in OS X? Hmmmmm...

    winword10 (interesting name btw :P ) you can confirm the crash by going here: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter. If there is a ScreenSaverEngine crash log then the screen saver did indeed crash.

    HUGE "bug" in OS X? Hmmmmm...

    This is a fresh install no more than 2 weeks old, all straightforward and updated. Permissions haven't been repaired, but I think this isn't limited to my machine evidenced by the other replies. I created the crash the non-geek way by putting an object on a letter key and hitting enter about...

    HUGE "bug" in OS X? Hmmmmm...

    The Screen Saver crashes when I try it, 10.2.6 first rev 17" iMac, no haxies or anything.

    Is there any way to remove the ownership of an entire partition?

    i echo the others here, root is almost always too much. you can sudo around an admin acct and its much better imho. anyway, on jaguar you could get info on a non boot HD and check the Ignore ownership on this volume box which did just that.

    free

    Hey guys! You won't believe this! Apple is actually giving us FREE UPDATES TO OS X! Just run Software Update and click Update Now! Cool huh? I pity the engineer that is going to be fired for this...imagine how much that bandwidth must cost!

    Panther not really 64 Bit?

    Hey, lets give RacerX a little credit here! He probabaly has more experience with computers than all of us in this thread combined. Plus the fact that he is a Rhapsody user gives him insight into the roots of OS X very few people on these boards have. There are a LOT of hardware changes...

    Panther Finder questions

    I hear that there is no such option...but if you don't like what Apple is doing, just send feedback! This is just the developer preview, and if enough people dislike the brushed metal look Apple will give an option to change it I'm sure. And if they ignore protests, it will be hacked just like...

    Final Cut Express

    Oh, and by the way people, it would be great if we could get these product's real names straight: Final Cut Pro = FCP http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/ Final Cut Express = FCE (not FCPE or FCPCEPECE or whatever people come up with) http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/

    Final Cut Express

    It would be really stupid of Apple to disable Export to DV since it's been in iMovie since version 1. I'm sure it's in FCE, but you have to keep in mind that for any computer to export a video over a DV connection, it must be in DV format. You can't just export any old video format to DV in real...

    Tryign Try to call Apple and you'll get Bill Gates..

    Is it me or is that one hell of a coincidence? Methinks someone at the phone company is a Mac user. :)

    Lost ability to take screen shots after iTunes update

    The reason you can't take screenshots is because the SystemUIServer, which controls Menu Extras and the screenshot function, has crashed. Try restarting and fscking, double clicking a menu item in the menu extra folder (it's in the main system folder somewhere, sorry i can't find out now) or...

    Silent iBook update

    Amen to that, bjurusik. I think Apple really should have done more than processor speed bumps. Usually when new products come out on their webpage I say to myself "Wow, that's cool!" but today I just felt...well, nothing impressed me frankly. I guess the current iBook owners have nothing to...

    10.2.5 is here boys and gals...

    Alright, I hope I remember this: if you want to permanently enable verbose booting mode type this into Terminal: sudo nvram boot-args="-v" The -v means verbose booting. -s is single-user mode, and nothing ("") will return startup to the normal gray screen. (as will rebooting in OS 9 and...

    Some changes for 10.3

    Oops, sorry, I misread what you were asking. I would like something like the changes in 10.2 where you can change text/icon size in toolbars but you also have text labels on the right. That way you would have minimal space taken up by the buttons. For apps like Help this would be really great!
