    Disappearing HD Space

    Thanks, Cheryl but I don't think that could be the problem. For one I would like to think that 40G=one quarter of the hard drive would not go bad. I do not like to think that because of any evidence, but becasue it helps me sleep at night. Also Disk utility (under the latest Panther build)...

    Disappearing HD Space

    I bought an 160GB IDE Hard Drive on eBay the other day and when I viewed it using disk copy (latest Panther seed), it said that the capacity was around 120 GB while Available was 157GB under Windows NT format. This seemed odd to me but odder still when I re-formatted it to OS X Extended, the...

    I have an iBook from last year with (2)12MB/s and (1) Firewire port. I recently bought a 160G USB2.0 Hard Drive But I had neglected to realize how abysmally slow USB 1.1 is. So my question is, how can I hook up my hard drive to my computer to get decent throughput? The best case would be a USB...

    What is the deal with those green software coupons that came with my new iBook and I assume come with all new macs? Supossedly, they are redeemable for new software. Can I use one to get panther when it comes out? I doubt they would let me walk away with DVD Studio Pro for just a green coupon...

    What should I learn for porting linux and unix apps to Mac?

    Thanks both of you for those pointers. This sounds like a tough job and I am now confused. I see the pdf for porting from *nix to Carbon but is there one for Cocoa? For some reason, I think it would be simpler to port to Cocoa since it is all Darwin and the apps run faster but this is only...

    Still gaps in tracks with iTunes

    I have the same problem in iTunes but I know the source files do not contain gaps becuase they are live rcordings of concerts. iTunes will also sometimes wrongly play wavs of aiffs expanded from other formats. It's quite annoying when it happens.

    Safari - seamless downloads?

    The Safari site claims that the browsers has seemless downloads, i.e. that it will not save small files to the desktop and will automatically open files with the appropriate app. Does anyone actually find this to be the case? With windoze media, it saves a 40K file on the desktop which I have...
