Having a look at the AE prefs sure'd be useful. As of version 5.1.3 of their AE software, Apple introduced special security measure to 'prevent unsolicited internet traffic', namely DOS attacks. I'm entirely speculating here, but could it be that your Base Station has been inundated with...

When playing the sample file the window jumps to a size where the lower corners become invisible. So I can't resize it (15" TFT). Also, clicking the red button ('close window') actually quits the application. Windowesque. Okay, System Preferences has the same behaviour but it makes sense there.

This sounds much like a Firewall problem. It could be an Airport Extreme specific problem in which case I cannot help you as I don't have AE. First thing to check: Start the System Preferences and go to the 'Sharing' pane. Click on Firewall to see whether a Firewall is active. Have you ever...

As most of you probably find, Panther is much faster than its predecessors. When I had a longer look at 'Activity Monitor' it became obvious to me that Applications behave vastly better than under Jaguar. Namely, they take up much less memory and CPU time (less idling loops etc., I guess)...

Possibly. I don't say it couldn't be faster but with my (currently) 158 it works quite decently.

Font Book is really fast on my G4/400 PCI. Indeed, Panther is much faster than OS 9. I don't get it, what are you guys doing to make it go so slow ? Maybe a clean install would help ?

Okay, here's the deal. Bought a DVD from the US and wanna play it in Germany. Over here, the DVD region code is '2'. Both my stand alone and computer DVD player are coded '2'. I ripped the DVD so as to get rid of the region coding, using 'DVDBackup'. To no avail. Apparently, RCE (Region Code...

.avi is just a cover term for loads of different formats. They range from divx to 3ivx to Windoze mp4 'variants' or even regular mp4, if you want. The divx and 3ivx formats are actually quite good and, if done correctly, offer much higher quality:size ratios than .mpeg files (which are the...

While I like the new Aqua style, the grey of the Menu Bar etc. is just terrible. In my view it makes the whole thing look dreary and dirty. I would be content if that alone could be changed. I posted a new thread on that. If you like, opine there.

I'm pretty much impressed overall with Panther... However, the new grey tone that reigns in it gives me the creeps. Does anybody know whether there will be an alternative colour scheme/theme?

Hello, Was wondering: Is there a way to add public directories (LDAP based) like 'Intelius' to the Apple Address Book so that one can conveniently search from within the AB ? Addendum: Okay, I basically know where to add the stuff (AB, Preferences). Intelius charges for the stuff. Any...

Thanks for the suggestions. I had tried those but they don't work. Actually, the only app that 'accepts' the file right away (i.e. I don't have to press alt+command) is iTunes. However, it doesn't play it or list it. Seems like I'm stuck with VPC... Thanks anyway.

Hello, I received some sound files with the suffix .mpc. Seems to be connected with 'Media Player Classic', a Windoze based product. Has anybody successfull opened .mpc files with a Mac application ?

Yeah, I'm having that a lot in Jaguar as well. It first happened after changing icons. But if it happens in Panther too, that is hardly the cause.

Hang on. You mean, it *says* 'Finder not running' but the Finder actually runs ? Yeah, happens to me too. I never bothered. Did you change icons (CandyBar or the like) ? G4/400 10.2.6 Cf. this thread also: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34020

Mail does for me what an email client should do. It doesn't have the 'to do' and calender thingy. That's good. I wouldn't want it. You *can* interact with Address Book etc. if you want but you don't have the whole bulk forced on you at once all the time. That's exactly why I don't like...

You can't. You either have to repartion your disk (that means you also have to reformat it) or buy an additional HD (internal or external).

I'd advise strongly against it. Apparently, Panther deletes certain apps when installing. Also, this is *beta* software. You will not be able to upgrade to the GM (golden master) version of Panther. In short: Don't do it !

At least not in Germany, from this autumn (fall) onwards. That is, once the new copyright law is enacted. Well, we'll see. Nothing is eaten as hot as it's cooked, as we say in Germany. P.S. You're Korean ? (I'm asking because of the Korean 'think different' signature :-) P.S.2: I hope that...

Hello, I'm using Fetch Art to download album art to iTunes. It works fine but I'm looking for a convenient way to copy the art not just to one song but to the complete CD (all songs from one CD that is). Any tips are much appreciated.
