    Problems with Sound and Quicktime After OS X runs for a while

    Yes, I have heard Apple is in denial. I also so a very long thread on this (I think on Apple's on Forums) and there was definitely a pattern. Seemed to be 832 Quicksilvers, DP 800 G4s, and Powerbook G4/550s suffering from the sound issue. Haven't found anyone reporting the Quicktime issue...

    Had enough with slow folders (with many files)

    Gotta say I totally agree with the poster here. OS X is slow as a dawwwwwg in viewing folders with lots of items. RAM, schmam. I have 512 Megs and a G4/550 and this thing is slow as molasses. This is outrageous and embarrassing. I just hope to god they know people are pissed of and will...

    And where's the speed?

    The bottom line is that the Finder speed in OS X is a sick joke. A complete and total scam. Scrolling through ANY list of text (a good example is in an email program, or in the Finder in a folder with lots of files, like MP3 files) is multiple times slower than OS 9 or any previous version of...

    OS X "Services:" What the???

    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, it looks like Services are of no use in any of the Microsoft applications, which would be a place where it seems like they would be very useful. So, I've got some followup questions... (1) which of your favorite X applications employ Services? (2) is...

    OS X "Services:" What the???

    Alright, I've been trying to figure this out for along time and am totally stumped. OS X has a "services" submenu in the application menu of every OS X application. Within the "Services" menu there are sub-menues like "Disk Copy," "Grab," and "Email." My understanding is that you're...

    Problems with Sound and Quicktime After OS X runs for a while

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've figured out that the sound issue is a bug with the TiBooks caused by the latest firmware update. Apple seems to be pretending it isn't happening, so we'll see what develops. As for the quicktime issue, the problem is exactly like you said. The little...

    Startup TiBook off an external CDRW drive?

    Tried it out, and it works great. Thanks for the tip! Now I won't be forced to send in my computer for repair so soon...lord knows how long those fools at Apple would hold my baby hostage. I think it's time to defrag my HD! :D

    Problems with Sound and Quicktime After OS X runs for a while

    Hi Folks- I have a really annoying problem with my computer. After it's been restarted and running for about half an hour or an hour, it loses sound AND it will stop playing any movie file (.mov, .mpg, etc.) after about 10 seconds (the movie keeps playing, but the picture is frozen...can't...

    Looking for OS X Gurus to write Guides/Tutorials

    Hi Folks- I'm starting a new Website called www.OSXGuide.com. What I want to do is focus on short to medium length "tutorials" or "guides" on how to do various things in OS X. For example, we might have a tutorial on setting up a Web server with PHP and MySQL on OSX. Or, maybe someone...

    Startup TiBook off an external CDRW drive?

    Anyone know if there's any way this is possible? I was thinking maybe it was because Apple's own CD drivers now support so many external firewire drives, however that support may be secondary to the support for Apple's own drives, at least when using the drive as a startup device. Anyone had...
