A friend of mine sent me a bunch of music in WMA format. I downloaded Windows Media Player, so I can play them, but I can't really use them at all. I really would love to get this music out of this horrid excuse for a sound format... is there anything on the Mac for converting wma to mp3...

Quick question: what are you using your computer for? You said that your graphics card is slow. I just bought a new card for my mac (g4 533), and it's great because I play games and use Photoshop n' stuff... But as far as "normal" use... word processing, web browsing, etc. etc. etc. the...

I'm running 6C92 and it looks like this functionality is gone! ...which sucks! If they got rid of it in this build, it looks like it's not going to make it to the GM. Sounded like a really cool feature. Let's hope they were just having problems with it or something...

Hi-- I've got a copy of 6C92-- I'd like to install it and give it a test drive, but I don't have an extra hard drive lying around... Can I install Jaguar onto my current drive without losing data? And can I reinstall 10.1 onto the drive after that without losing my data? Doing the actual...

Well, I don't have VPC, but are you sure you tried downloading the same thing from the same place around the same time in both OSX and Windows? Speeds vary all the time when you have a broadband connection-- it's not always your end when you have a fatter pipe, it's usually the other side that...

Hey everyone-- I've just taken an old PowerComputer PowerBase 180 and added a second hard drive, some more ram, and a faster cd-rom drive. Everything works well (except the cd-rom)... It is the drive that shipped with my G4 533 (I believe 24x). I figured I might have problems putting the...

Sorry for bringing this back up top, but does anyone have a reply? :(

Hi all-- I don't know a lot about video cards, I was hoping some of you do... I want to get a new video card for my G4 (533, graphite, agp graphics) so that I have video out and improved performance for games and video editing. ...from the little bit of looking around I've done, it looks...

Yay-- I found what I was looking for. If anyone else is interested, check this out: http://www.macslash.com/articles/02/05/09/1535230.shtml

Sorry, this isn't much help, but I found directions out on the web somewhere (just use Google-- you're bound to find it). I forget where I got directions and how to do it, but it worked. Just so you know it's possible. :)

Not that setting up FTP is incredibly difficult, but it is more of a hassle than using AIM (I've got to create a user, turn FTP on, poke another hole through my firewall--which i don't really want to do)... Anyway, I don't need to be convinced not to use AOL's client. I have decided to... I...

I've used Fire, Proteus, and Adium... they're all great except none of them support file transfer (which I use a lot). ...anyway, anybody else know anything? I know there was at one point a patch for an earlier OS X version of AIM, but I haven't seen it in months.

Has anybody made/seen a patch to remove the ads from the latest version of AOL Instant Messanger for OS X (4.5.651)?

You can configure the built-in Mac OS X screensaver to require a password to get back into the system. Just open up System Preferences, click on Screen Saver, and click the Activation tab. Select 'require my password', and you're all set.

Hi all... I just reformatted my hard drive a few weeks ago, and reinstalled OS X (now 10.1.3). I hadn't gotten around to reinstalling the developer tools until today, and now I'm running into problems. The install seems to go just fine, but when I try to run Project Builder, it dies. There...

Aussie John is right-- download Stuffit Lite from download.com or directly from Aladdin at http://www.aladdinsys.com/ ... It includes a program called 'DropZip' (as well as DropStuff and DropTar). Just drag a file or folder onto this application to zip it. ...the 'zip' command of course is...

Yeah, I was thinking about this. It seems that I may have to do it, and if I continue to have problems I will. Thanks for the advice.

The 4 did it! Thanks.

I can't get classic to start. It gives me an error message that says I need to run Classic as root. ...I found the 'TruBlueEnvironment' file and made sure that it was owned by root and setup with the right permissions... but I can't figure out how to make it 'setuid' (I don't even know...

Wouldn't sudo rm -rf /Users/ completely remove the users directory and everything in it? I certainly don't want to do that. I had a problem with removing just ONE user. Anyway, I figured it out. Somehow I messed up the permissions for my System folder. Basically, any non-admin users...
