apps

I am running os 10.3.7 on a PowerBook G4 and more often than not can not open various system apps such as iphoto, ichat, safari, system update... From time to time I do absolutey nothing different and all these apps work just fine. I read somewhere that bluetooth may be affecting things and have...

(apologies if this has been done before) Im a Windows user (boo hiss) making the switch to a nice spanky new mac mini, Ive used linux daily so have had some experience making switches before although I hope this one will be a bit more permanant :). So.. what programs do you use for your...

Here's the deal: I run OSXVNC to connect to my Mac from work. I don't like the VNC server running when I'm not at work, because VNC's not that secure, and I'd prefer it not run unless I'm using it. I have a cron job that starts the server in the morning, while I'm on my way to work. If I...

Hi, Curious problem here (am glad i found a workaround, or it would be less curious and more making my face bleed): On first login after boot of a particular user, there is a massively rabid SystemUIServer process that hogs about 110% of CPU (on a 2x2.5 G5) and seems to lead to a lot of...

Does anyone know of an XDarwin(X11) type program that would run on 10.3 or higher? I know about Apple's X11, but there are certain features that XDarwin has that are preferred. The current XDarwin only runs on 10.1 or 10.2. At least I've tried running it on 10.3.7 machine and it won't...

Here's my dilemma: I want to access the TeamSpeak network from my Mac. Unfortunately the rotten swines haven't made an OS X client. I have tried running the PC client under an Windows emulator, but that didn't work. I expect the same problems trying to run a Linux emulator – quite apart from...

Hi, I'm quite new to Mac OS X. Came over to the world of Mac from Windows and Linux. I like the system, just got to get to know it a bit more. I'm wondering if there's a way to change default applications. For example, i want to use Firefox as my web browser, and I can change .html files to...

Ok, So I posted this question in apple/discussions and I had no real results. I'll try macosx.com/forums because an issue previously unresolved inspight of posting to apple/discussions, was magically explained to me in this post, tar will not pipe | to log file. The Problem I have been...

Hey guys, I am taking a second semester course in digital design and we're dealing with Verilog as the description language for logic gates and such. I have an ibook which I would like to do this type of work on. Does anyone know of a Mac OS software package that will do the same as the Xilinx...

I recently reinstalled the system software (archive and install) to get rid of performance issues and general bugginess. After that i was forced to reset the passwords for users. But some applications (like entourage) ask for keychain access, and the only password that works is the old...

I have some problems opening some apps and a strange Console log :( I have tried to fix permissions etc. The same apps will open on my other computer with the same OS X. Here is some of the Console log: Mac OS X Version 10.3.4 (Build 7H63) 2004-07-26 11:00:17 +0300 ## Component Manager...

I'm just wondering what would happen if you try to use a beta tiger app on panther. Like iChat or Safari or any of those new programs. Thanks

For three successive weekends, I have arrived on a Monday morning after leaving my Mac (Dual 2GHz-G5, OS X 10.3.4) on for the weekend only to find that the Mac applications (Mail, Safari, Address Book) appear to launch (I see the icon with the little triangle under it in the Dock), but I can't...

Just got an iPod Mini as a gift. I am wondering what utilities iPod veterans like to use to manage contact, notes, music, to-dos on their iPod. Thanks for any advice.

Dear all, This puzzles me: I upgraded my G4 800Mhz iMac from OS X 10.2 to 10.2.8 and installed the two current security upgrades listed by Software Update. I forgot to repair permissions before starting. Yes, I know. Mea culpa. When I got through with the upgrades only the Apple applications...

Sometimes I will get the message "Safari.app (or Mail) has been moved. Do you want to update keychain settings?" or something like that. I just click yes and all goes well, just wondering why it is going on.
