Hmm, I was not aware that you couldn't adjust the Apple supplied pictures. That's odd; I'd think the setting would be global rather than just pertain to your own pictures. However, if you select one of your own pictures, then change this setting, it also applies to the Apple ones. So, while...

Well, that's because the NSTableView is inside the scroller, and doesn't own it. It's the other way around. You can get a pointer to the NSScrollView with [self enclosingScrollView] (it's a NSView method that NSTableView inherits). If the second NSTableView is also in its own NSScrollView...

I don't know of a way to show it at all times, but you can always move the mouse over the folder name at the top of the window, hold down the command ( ⌘ ) key, then click the mouse button. That'll show you the path.

How much did you get up to, Scott?

What does the crash log say? It should be at /Users/your_user_name/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/iTunes.crash.log - maybe we can figure out what's causing the crashes with that.

Hmm, macmastah is just asking how not to have the desktop pic scaled to the screen. Open up the Desktop & Screensaver preference pane (Desktop preference pane if you're still using 10.2 or earlier), and in the popup change it from Stretch to fill screen to Fill screen (or whichever of the...

It's part of the BSD subsystem install. Which is installed by default. Since you aren't being told that the file doesn't exist, I'd suggest trying to fix the disk permissions and see if that fixes pico. Mac OS X doesn't have ldd, but you can use otool for similar functionality. Looks...

Yeah, something like that. I had it set to on, then instead of deleting it, I just set it to NO. Did creating this file work the way you wanted it to?

There's a chance. Macs mainly don't get them because a) it's harder to write them for it (but not impossible), and b) there are less people that use Macs.

Hey, best of luck! Put up another demo song or some such, so we can listen before we decide to vote. ;) (I was one of the ones that enjoyed your previous one, though I don't remember if I posted anything about it.)

There's a file you can create/edit to have variables available to everything running (including Cocoa apps). In your user's home folder, create a folder named .MacOSX. Inside this folder, create a file named environment.plist. This is a standard plist file. You would add the environment name...

Some of these may be cron jobs running. Those show up pretty briefly in Activity Monitor and often have strange looking names. Though I haven't personally seen it listing the user as ??? that may be because the process runs and finishes so quickly, Activity Monitor wasn't able to lookup the...

Yes, because cron runs as root. Though there may be problems if cron is running as a user other than root (from changing it in /etc/crontab or from a user's personal crontab) if that user doesn't have permissions to the script/executable at that path.

I was simply saying that when the user name System Administrator shows up, it is asking for root's password. System Administrator is root's long name. I don't know why Adonsa's security dialog is asking for it, but that's what it's asking for. It's definitely not asking for an admin...

Yeah, I'll second that. I come up as fourth and ninth if you search for "Darkshadow" on Google - fourth place is my old poetry page which hasn't been updated since Oct 2000 - mainly because it's on Yahoo/Geocities (though it still seems to get people in...), and the ninth place one is my "About...

It's more than that - the code wouldn't run at all. If it wasn't compiled on MacOS X, it's not going to work on MacOS X. Period. This isn't just a MacOS X thing; if you tried to run anything compiled on a different operating system than you are using, it won't run. This actually goes the...

Actually, when the security dialog pops up with the name System Administrator, it's asking for root's password. Which, as was said above, you can usually change the name to an admin and use that admin's password.

I made a small command line program that gets the PID of processes by name. It matches like grep, though, so if there are different programs with similar names, it will list them all (as would grep). vnc should be pretty safe from that, though. You can download it if you want to try it...

I made a folder /Library/CronJobs where I stick 'em. This was just so that I had a central place to add in scripts for cron jobs. Feel free to do the same. BTW, anywhere on the hard drive is acessible by cron, Lycander, so long as you give the full path to the script/executable in the crontab.

Hmm, I don't have any unprintable characters in mine. The file is updated when you change stuff in the control panels, did you have System Preferences crash on you at some point? If it's not causing any problems for you, it's probably OK.
