I have an NSNumber object called "initiative" that I need to use its compare method on. Unfortunately, compare isn't doing what I thought it would so I want to rewrite it. I have no idea how to write the first line of the method, though--the declaration! I have the code I want to use...

OK, I have an on-screen "form" that is used as such: 1. a table controls which item is being examined (list of names and some other info in the table). To switch which set of data is displayed in other fields on the form, one selects a different name in the table. 2. some NSTextFields...

My window controller's windowDidLoad method runs any time I create a new window, do a File | Open or double-click a saved document AS LONG AS THE APPLICATION IS ALREADY OPEN. Whenever the application is closed and I double-click one of its documents in the Finder, the application loads but...

I need to change some various data fields in other objects in a window whenever the user clicks any particular row in a tableview. Does anyone have any sample code on how to trap the click even in the tableview? Once I know the user has clicked, I think I can get the row # with selectedrow...

Please help if you can. I don't have much hair left. I have a project with a document called iDMDocument, a window controller called iDMController and on my main document window I have a tableview that uses an NSObject called CombatTableDataSource as its data source. The trouble is that...

I really like using uControl on my iBook for the trackpad scrolling option, but it seems like I have to go into System Prefs and click on the uControl Pref at least once on each startup of my computer in order to get it to work. The load at startup option doesn't seem to be doing anything...

What can I do to make my touchpad on my new iBook G4 ignore my accidental taps while I'm typing besides turning on that option in System Prefs? It doesn't seem to make a difference if it's on or off, but I'm constantly tapping it accidentally and jumping it around. There has to be...

Well, here's what's going on: I have two users on my Panther box. One is called "k3nt" and the other is called "person". If the k3nt user goes and looks at person's home folder (/Users/person) he sees that darn near everything has a red "-" on it--which is expected. If person looks at...

It looks like the sound output jack on the back of my Quicksilver is hooped. If I plug speakers or headphones in all-the-way, only the left speaker works. If I pull the plug out a little bit, only the right speaker works. Any ideas on how this can be fixed? Will it be expensive to fix...

I am going to attempt to write a Cocoa app in Objective C. I have a great deal of programming experience, but never in this framework or language. I am wondering what type of application (something fairly small would be good--I'm not going to write an MS Word compatible word processor) you...

Hello All, I upgraded the hard drive in my eMac from the factory Maxtor 60 GB drive to a Maxtor 120 GB (2 MB cache model) that I picked up at the local computer store. Since upgrading the drive, whenever the drive is handling considerable disk activity, the bottom 1/2 to 3/4 of an...

A question: I used Slackware for years and never had any trouble compiling or installing any *nix type software. I got source files off of sourceforge and ./configur-ed and make-ed my way through hundreds of programs--never a problem. I even got using Slackware's developer's tools for...

I would like to build a small database using MySQL and a couple forms to go with it. I'm not sure what to use for a frontend to build the forms, though. I've never used MySQL and all my database experience has been with Microsoft Access. I would like to build the database tables using...

Can someone please give me some idea how much space 4 hours of DV (4 one-hour tapes of my sister's wedding) will take up on my hard disk? And am I looking at double that to have the imported DV and the actual iMovie that I create both sitting on the drive? That is, does the project contain...
