A couple things come to mind: 1. Diagnose port mapping. From the computer you are trying to use for the VNC client (and failing to connect to your wireless OSX/VNC box), try to telnet to port 5901 at the AirPort Base Station's IP address. If you don't get a connection and some odd characters...

The iCab browser has some preferences to filter by domain.

The easiest way to become root, avoiding the need to enable the root account, is to go into terminal and type 'sudo -s'. When it asks for your password, just give it your password (and you are an administrator, right?). You'll then be at a root shell prompt. Be careful. Type exit to 'become'...

It's not that non-secure, because the session is encrypted over the network. So, if you're logging on around the world, with ssh your password does not go around the world unencrypted. With ordinary telnet, it would. The man page wouldn't consider this the best security, because it only...

With 0 pageouts, the virtual memory system isn't doing any writing to disk. It would be your applications opening or initializing work files. The disk activity you note could be reading (pageins). If your applications execute bits of themselves from here and there around the program, they...

I only have 384MB of RAM, and see very little paging activity. How many pageouts are you seeing in top (in the Terminal)? Maybe something to do with the apps you are running, some apps try to do their own 'paging'.

My non-Apple USB mouse does right-clicks on OS X. Thankfully, it is actually doing left-clicks for me, since the new Darwin code let me change the USB mouse driver to left-handed operation. The scroll wheel works on most of my favorite OS X apps (by no means all--e.g. Opera). So, you don't...

Nope, just 1.4. But, the sources now available at www.apple.com/darwin do seem to match, well enough that the IOUSBFamily project I downloaded worked when I converted AppleUSBMouse to left-handed and installed it on my 10.1 system.

DHCP is working fine for me on a TiBook running 10.1. I'm running over AirPort. When I first installed, I re-inited the OS X partition rather than installing over 10.0.4, and DHCP didn't appear to work. The problem turned out to be that I hadn't re-established the AirPort network. Once I...

I had a similar problem *once*, under OS 9. The CD wouldn't show up, so I couldn't eject it (though I forgot to try the F12 key). In my case, I picked up the TiBook and when I squeezed it a bit with my right hand (it was open and running), there was a mechanical 'click', the CD began to spin and...

Very interesting. When I installed 10.1, rather than just updating the 10.0.4 partition, I re-initialized it and let 10.1 do a fresh install. The Apple->Dock->Preferences link works OK in this situation.

I think the problem you are having with Quicken and Bryce are not generic to Carbon applications, it's the way those applications were written. Especially for multi-file and bundled apps, permissions have to be set properly, and the app better not try to write to any part of 'itself' (in the...

Here's what worked for me: I wanted to move my own home directory (not /Users, just /Users/mac), but the analogous actions should work for /Users. I wanted to put my home on one of my OS 9 partitions so that wiping and installing new OS X's wouldn't keep nuking my prefs in OS X. Using OS X...
