Wow, I missed that option for the keyboard. That's very helpful, even though it wasn't directed at me. Thanks, simbalala.

Sounds like Adobe's apps are just finicky. Although, and this is just my two cents, I wouldn't recommend renaming apps, only their aliases ("shortcuts" in Windows-land) and the folders that contain the apps. Speaking more technically, you never know if an app has been coded to look for itself...

Wow. You mean the menu bar icons on the right, right? I must try this tonight when I'm back on my Mac.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check those out. And thanks for putting up with the rambling diatribe.

I tried to find another thread that covered this -- I'm sure this must have been a big issue for a lot of people, but I can't find any talk about it. I just upgraded to Leopard, and (I'm a longtime Mac addict so bear in mind that when I say anything critical it hurts me more than it hurts...

All I can think of is to try Clean All Targets.

I'm writing a program that I may want to port to Windows at some point, only so I can get all those Windows geeks to see what I've done. I don't want to limit it to 5% of the market, yada yada. So, right now I'm writing in Obj-C in Xcode. I am using as much custom code as possible, mostly...

I am simply trying to do this: NSMutableArray *ray; [ray initWithCapacity:5]; // or whatever number NSNumber *q; [q initWithInt:8]; [ray addObject:q]; Hopefully the above code, reconstructed from memory since I'm not at my Mac, will give the result that nothing is added to the array...

The one piece of advice I can give you, jeno, is that no one should teach themselves programming. It's a bad way to get started. So it's good that you are looking for a class. If it's hard to find one, at least you should buy some books...

How many people here have heard any? I ask because I have two that a friend gave me two MP3s of recordings years ago, and I just searched and found the motherlode. Look forward to such inane calls as: - The one where the tech support guy must try to explain to the caller what a paper clip...

I generally find that people who say things like this: ...are just Trouble Incarnate looking for a computer to happen on. A PC user who doesn't have the common sense to not open foreign emails (and stay off those pr0n sites!) is going to have problems with any computer. In fact, I...

This is not a serious test. It is definitely an ego-stroking test. I mean, who doesn't want to know what famous leader they can identify themselves with? Well, I thought it would be an ego-stroking test until I got my results: I'm Hitler. I'd post the test result but it's in HTML so it...

That's a perfectly good alternative to my code. I'll try that. Thanks.

Wow, I stumped the board. 83 views, no answers. I hate to bump my own thread, and I won't do it again, but I can't help but express my surprise at the lack of responses. Does that mean that the code I listed works fine for other people, or what? Or does it mean that no one even understands...

I also found "Learnining Cocoa with Objective-C" very helpful. I vastly prefer using hard-copy references over online references. You just can't read on a screen. Quick answers are easiest to find in the on-line and off-line Apple Documentation, but I needed an intro to object-oriented...

OK, I was a little mixed-up when I posted yesterday -- as HateEternal pointed out, {0, 0, 0, 1} is black. When that didn't work for me, I ended up trying {1, 1, 1, 1} and everything in-between until I got my wires crossed as to whether color in the Mac was additive or subtractive. I'm back...

Hi guys. I have a really weird history in programming, where I am fairly skilled in some ways but blasted ignorant in others. I am still getting the hang of drawing in OS X. I've made some great progress in things like loading and displaying images with color masks, and yet some of the...

The problems now aren't even X server-related. "display" refuses to run, mentioning libtiff and saying that it requires version 12.0, not the 11.0 it's finding. But libtiff is v3.8.2, which is the latest version. So what number is it referring to if not the version of the library? If I...

Yes, the MacBook Pro I used made odd sounds, but only when it loaded Windows (can you blame it?). And I think they're resolving the heat dissipation problems the early batches had.

Yeah, thanks. There's some benchmarking, like http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=38816 (see 2nd page in particular for encoding), out there that shows the MBP's power, but not a lot of attention seems to be given to it. I have only recently been able to confirm through...
