I am looking for a good to-do list software for my mac desktop. Specifically, I need something that is a) easy to access, and b) unobtrusive. I would envision perhaps something that hides as a small tab on the side of my screen, where I could click to view the list, and click again to hide it. A...

Does anyone know of any software that you can point to an iTunes playlist and have it generate a "songbook" of the lyrics from those songs using the embedded iTunes lyrics? Thanks.

I have used iTuneSleep for quite a while, and, for the most part, quite like it. Unfortunately it no longer works in 10.6, and from what I can tell the developer is no longer reachable. So I'm looking for a replacement. Nothing I have found so far, however, quite meets my need, so I am asking...

The office where I work is planning to redo the network wiring, and we are looking for some ideas as to how to identify the various network jacks. The layout of the building is roughly two rows of offices, one on each side of a large hanger area, with two stories each. Network jacks are located...

I know Xcode has a distributed build feature, but is there some way to get this directly for the underlying build processes without going through Xcode? Specifically, I often compile large programs using Fink, a process which often takes a number of hours to complete. Is there some way I can...

I recently installed a new DSL modem on my computer (I had been accessing the internet through a friend's wireless network). After getting everything set up and working, I activated MacOS X's built in firewall. Suddenly I was unable to load webpages. Some sites, such as www.versiontracker.com...

I have an application that I am working on using Carbon and C++, and I have a window that I need to make scroll. The contents of the window are drawn at run time using either Quartz or QuickDraw (I have code written for both) and are obviously larger than the window. If, after the contents are...

For some reason today my processor has been continually pegged at 100% usage, but I cant figure out where that processing time is going. I have attached the output from top, sorted by processor usage. As you can see, the total processor usage from listed processes adds up to only about 20%, and...

This should be a simple one for you guys: I want to make an apple script that mounts a disk image, and then opens an application. However when I try to tell finder to open file, I get an error saying can't get file. I finally got it to work using the do shell script open command, but this seems...

I have a HP 1210 All-in-one Printer/scanner/copier that I would like to pair up with OS X's built in fax capability to use as a fax machine (at least on occasion). So to do this I scan an image as whatever format I feel like, open it in preview, chose print, click the fax button, and off it...

Is there a way to change what compiler Xcode uses (other than between GCC 3.1 or 3.3)? I work with writing code for the motorola 68HC1x, and would like to be able to write and assemble/compile the code using Xcode. Currently I write the code in Xcode (since it has nice code formating features...

Probably an easy question, but I don't know the answer, so I'll ask it here :). I have been working on a design for a small robot in Illustrator CS, and it has recently grown to be larger than one page. I enlarged the page size and set up tiling in page setup to compensate, and it prints fine...

I have four computers networked in my house, three on Airport and one on Ethernet, all sharing a single printer using Mac OS X's built in printer sharing. The printer is connected to one of the Airport computers. The whole network is connected to the internet via a cable modem. The Airport Base...

I have noticed recently that there is a direct correlation between my refrigerator shutting off and my computer waking up. That is, for some reason, if my computer is fully asleep (pulsing light) when the compressor on my refrigerator shuts off, my computer will wake up. Put it back to sleep...

The other day I downloaded and installed the recently released version of MyTV XTC, and was pleased to discover that it was apparently apple-scriptable. I say apparently, because when I choose Open Dictionary... in script editor, the MyTV XTC application is listed, and it shows commands such...

It would appear that the hard drive on my brother's iMac 333 MHZ is dying. At any rate he frequently gets the blinking question mark icon on startup (although not always) and the hard drive does not show up in the installer or disk utility when booted from the install CD (although again, not...

I know this general topic has been discussed here before, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on whether or not it is possible to put a working copy of Norton utilities on an OS X boot cd. Is this possible, and if so, how? I know I can use bootCD to make the actual bootable CD, but can I get...

I have been having some problems with Hard Drive sleep in OS X. I currently have my system set to shut off the monitor after five minutes, the Hard Drive after twenty, and the system never (so I can use the comp as an alarm clock). After I leave the computer for a while, the monitor will shut...

Several questions here. First, an easy one (I hope ;)) When answering, please keep in mind that I have very little programming experience: 1) How do you get icons/images into Interface builder? I have some pictures I designed in Photoshop that I want to add to my buttons, but I can't figure...

I have written a command line application which uses ncurses to give it a semi-GUI. I would like to transform it into a stand alone application. The application could look and behave just like the command line version for all I care (Although i would prefer to be able to give it a nicer GUI...
