unfortunately, this is a common problem, especially with download/plugin links generated via cgi/server-side scripts. the suggestion about cutting and pasting the d/l url is about the only way around this.

Unless Apple wants to distance users, then yes, they should support a common configuration of their OS/hardware. OSX is a little too touchy when it comes to RAM. Even Microsoft doesn't have that problem. BTW, wasn't there a utility out there that could make the mac not check the ram, and...

yeah, i've managed to avoid the dock by using FruitMenu and ASM to get back the sub-menus under the apple menu and a task-switcher next to the clock. by setting the dock to it's smallest size and autohide, and using "Dock Detox" to kill all bounces, the Dock is now out of site completely for me.

this may just be me, but when i run with the dock killed, or having replaced the dock with, say, dragthing, my OSX box never shuts down or logs out. It just hangs after it closes down my desktop and sits at a blue background. the dock is the worst idea apple has come up with for the...

The answer to your last question is yes. Send her the .img and she can double-click it to mount it and use it (see how much easier Macs are than Windows ;-) ) the answer to your first question is no. You can not burn a mac-formated CD on your Windows box. (Actually, you can but not...

6 is for Classic. You can't use an OSX icon with Classic apps.

he's right, .img and .dmg are not convertable as the filesystems are not the same. If you're making iso images of iso formatted cd's (such as any cd that isn't specifically for the mac) you can use the unix utility "dd" I use dd to make images and when I transfer them to my pc, I name them...

Connectix does not make any "Virtual Mac" software. Just Virtual PC. It's not possible to emulate a PowerPC on an Intel chip with any degree of usability.

a worthwhile poll would be nice. gee, while we're at it let's debate whether or not kirk could defeat picard

my powerbook had some disk corruption which was causing the thing to hang at "Starting Network" and "Starting Appletalk" during bootup. being a NetBSD person, I frustratingly hit ctrl+c which cancels/quits/stops running jobs in unix. I expected nothing since this doesn't work when OSX is...

I don't know if this ever worked, but in OSX 10.1.3 i can't see any appletalk printers shared off of non appleshare/ip macs. i.e., any older mac that uses straight appletalk to share a printer, that printer doesn't appear for me. I do, however, see the mac itself just fine in the . . ...

mount_smbfs from the man page: MOUNT_SMBFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT_SMBFS(8) NAME mount_smbfs - mounts a shared resource from an SMB file server SYNOPSIS mount_smbfs [-E cs1:cs2] [-I host] [-L locale] [-M crights:srights] [-N]...

oh boy. move the mouse to a corner or click an icon, both require equal work. the mouse to a corner is easier, i think. i just rub my hand over the trackpad in that corner's direction as i leave the mac.

I second, third, and forth that. I honestly hate the aqua look and feel and it actually bothers my eyes being too white. Windows at least always let you change colors, but OSX you're stuck with just white. At least stop breaking all the third party apps. Everytime there is an OSX update it's...

I totally agree regarding OS9's interface being superior to OSX. There is only one OSX feature i like and that's the column view, but other than that, i wish we could have the OS9 interface with columns. At the very least bring back the apple menu and allow us to turn off the dock (or have...

I'd love for someone to make one. the one thing I need an old pc from time to time for is to plug serial into a router or sun box. new pcs and all macs have usb and no serial port.

The one in the top left corner of the first screenshot? That's the Hotline client. Search macresource.com for it if you're intersted. it's a file sharing/chat/news app.

Currently you can't see icons on the desktop unless you're running the Finder. But, if you pay the $25 for SNAX the author is extremely responsive to requests and bugs. He is anyway, I just think it's well worth the few bucks for his time. In any event, there is a suggestions link within SNAX...

I had this exact same symptom but my issue was a faulty daughter-card in my Pismo. I found an unused Pismo and swapped daughter cards and resolved the issue. This symptom seems to be the result of any number of issues and my three weeks of hell with Apple support were fruitless (As they'd...

well, while Theminator seems to support OSX 10.1 now, there are no interesting themes that I can find for 10.1. The Resexcellence ones have maybe a handful of "OSX" themes mixed in with Classic ones, and aside from simple variations of Aqua at the other sites nothing looks too interesting...
