apps

This is the type of thing I should really know but I can't find any options in osx for. Files have default applications in osx, just as files belonged to apps in classic but is there a way to change all files of a certain format e.g. jpeg to be opened by one app e.g. preview? Cheers, Craig

Yeah! :D I'm definately going to my Apple Store on Friday and getting myself an iPod - FINALLY! A few minutes ago I rec'd an email from Avantgo (spam) and I got to thinking about how I wish Avantgo would come out with an OSX version - then thought maybe Apple could do it for us, then thought...

Look under 'Internet Community' on the bottom of the forums list. Doug

I am wanting to limit the usage of MSN Messenger on my Mac. I don't have seperate users set up and I don't want to for HD space reasons. Is this possible?

I want to permanently modify the nice value of apps like MSN and iChat and Mail when they're loaded, because I have better things for my processor to spend time on, like Bryce, Photoshop, and my servers. I've read about a few different ways to do that. The one I'm leaning toward is creating...

Like Mail or iChat. Both those programs could use a world of improvements. Does anyone know if something is in the soon future?

Anyone know if there are any dev tools for MacOSX which support J2ME and blue-tooth API's. I want to start developing peer-to-peer apps for Java enable devices such as mobiles and I certainly don't want to change from my Titanium Powerbook. John.

Hi y'all, I wonder whether its possible to activate the brushed metal UI in Java apps? I've written a small app for document version management. Currently its using the standard Aqua UI, but I guess the app would look much better with brushed metal on it. Is there anything I can do? Like a...

Is there a way that you can keep a certain applications icon from being in the dock? Say you keep it open all the time and want it to just stay in the background.. Can you write something to its plist that keeps it out of the dock? I have a graphical app that I want to be able to just be...

Does anyone know if there's a utility out there that will put open app icons on the menubar (always visible, not on a drop-down list) instead of on the dock? It's one of the two or three things I think Windoze actually got right. Any help would be appreciated.:D

I bought a new drive and want to move all of my apps and directory to my new drive. Essentially I want to clone my current OS X system. OS X has a lot of hidden files and I also don't want to lose my application registrations and such. How do you do this in OS X I am running 10.2.4 Tangier

Ok I really need to take a step back here. i want to learn how to install and run linux/unix apps on my G4. I know about Fink, but that does not seem to work for me. Is there away to install and run these apps without Fink? Please keep in mind that I am completely new to OS X, and have...

i can't seem to get some screensavers that i download from VT, or create from the special apps for doing so, to play thru more than once. they stop on the last frame and just sit there. what am i doing wrong?:confused:

We haven't done this in a while and I find it's a good way to be exposed to new software that I wouldn't have ever found otherwise. So, what are your 5 (or less) favorite shareware/freeware apps? Please give us a little description and a link. I'll start: Acquisition It's gotta be the...

Hi all, I know very little about unix but want to learn stuff. So I have Apple’s X11 Public Beta v0.2.1 on Jaguar 10.2.4 and it works fine. I’ve now installed Fink Commander and that seems to be working okay except when I download programs with Fink and try and run them from the X11 terminal...

After seeing a few apps greated by geeks that are relly cool. I want to be geeky and make cocoa apps myself. Does anyone know of a method that could help someone starting from zero? I know nothing about anything and i want to start from the beginning. Searched the threads to no avail : ( Alex

I have a dual 1 ghz processor G4 system which originally shipped with OS 9.2 and OS X 10.1. Running apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, etc) in classic mode under that configuration, I would often encounter memory errors and my apps would quit. After increasing the memory requirements, the...

All my applications unexpedtedly quit when I try to print from them in os x. This occurs on a powermac G4 running 10.2.4 and an iMac G4 running 10.2.3, when trying to print to either an HP deskjet 940c or Epson 777. A soon as I hit command-P the app quits. All apps - acrobat, mail, explorer...

I have drive 10 on my system right now, but when i start it up, it says that it's not written for my latest version of os x.2.3. Looking at reviews on the web and here (did a search), it doesn't seem like it's a good software to use. I remember reading that Norton System Works 2 also has...
