Curious: The kind of system you describe with redundant harware sounds like a pretty specialized solution for a specific production. OS X is mainly a system for Desktop use, more than for example a specialized server OS or for use with redundant har…

...in the same way XP or Vista is just DOS + GUI. On one hand everything besides that actually IS splitting hairs, since the above statements are true. But in my mind it sounds like saying OSX = Unix + GUI is basically implying OS X is a *nix with a…

After some browsing, it turns out the problem is with Quicktime and nt the Flash plugin. The solution is to delete com.apple.Safari.plist from ~/Library/Preferences. In case anyone has the same problem.

Jeez Apple, just re-introduce themes already. One Aqua for the tiger-enthusiasts, one OS 9 for the retro peeps, and one metal (not brushed mind you) for the rest of us. Why does it have to be so hard?

A quick and safe way to run a HD fix is to restart holding down the Shift key right after the startup chime sounds. This will startup in Safe Mode after running a disc repair. I'm not sure that's such a good idea though since your hard drive seem…

Download the trial again, reinstall and uninstall, then try installing the retail version.

I updated the script to accept folders dropped on the application and if no folders are dropped a "open folder" dialog box. Check my post above for the updated script. Enjoy!

Hmmm, kindof deprecated now that Marvin already posted a solution, but here's an applescript that does the same thing. Creates a duplicate of the folder structure of the frontmost finder window. Here you go anyways! Update: The code is below …

You could write a terminal script or combine applescript and unix commands to do this. Maybe someone could be kind enough to whip out a script, it shouldn't be too hard...

You got a kernel panic. Many kernel panics are caused by hardware, either that it's broken or that is doesn't work the way the system or program expects. In your case I'm guessing it's the graphics card... You could contact the developer of the …

Yeah that's what I figured. Thanks!

I'm guessing "here" is the united states? I don't know but if English keyboards use a different keyboard layout than the American english keyboards, you're gonna have to get used to seeing different characters on the keyboard than the one actually t…

"Drawers are gone at last" Yes!! "And at last welcome back adjustable grid spacing for the Finder, and lightly colored stripes in list view." Yay!!! "You can also at last kiss goodbye pinstripes and "textured" (aka brushed metal)." Finally!…

I think Leopard looks great, except for the transparent menu bar. Based on the screenshots it looks a LOT better, more unified and consisent than Tiger.

A big gripe I have with OS X is that renaming the "Utilities" folder or moving Apple apps breaks the automatic updates of apps and OS updates. Does anyone know if that's been fixed in Leopard? I hope I'm not asking anyone to break any NDA's if s…
