  • Glad you decided to switch to X. I haven't tried assigning F keys, but I do have some tips regarding the dock. Control clicking on the divider brings up a settings menu, option clicking and dragging resizes snapping to certain presets (probably mu…

  • I don't have a Belkin router, but I've used Linksys and own an SMC, and figured I might be able to help. Connect to your router's internal IP address with your web browser, it should give you a status/setup page. That's pretty standard, whether yo…

  • Hey, if that doesn't work, go to your neighborhood Apple Store . They've got machines there that you can use, just install the demo and play with it. The machines get fresh images every night, so the time limit won't matter. Also, they may act…

  • I can't believe I forgot about that one... Chances are pretty decent that it'll work. Make sure to set the date to AFTER you installed but BEFORE it expired though. And turn off the time server syncing.

  • You might try emailing Adobe and asking if they'll reset your timeline. Explain what happened and they may help out. If they won't, you might try starting up off a CD, or maybe making a RAM Disk, copying system software to that, installing GoLive …

  • I think there is something in the Apache configs that password protects directories. That would probably be a good place to look. There are many howtos online, just check Google. It is possible to password protect pages with PHP, I've done that…

  • Haven't had that problem with mac.com email, but we did have an answering service through the phone company that had a similar problem. We dropped it as soon as we figured out what was happening. There are lots of places to get email addresses, an…
    in What the HELL is up with my Mac.com address??? Comment by jrego June 2002
  • I'd recommend the standard trashing preferences and optimizing disks routine. You'll want to get rid of Print Center and Microsoft Word v.X preferences (or at least move them for a bit to see if they're the problem). For optimization, I'd recommen…

  • Can't say that I've ever heard of that problem... I've transfered movie files in excess of 3GB before (X to X, haven't tried it in the older OSes) without any trouble. What kind of machines are you working with? The two I tried did have new world…

  • Try DiskWarrior from Alsoft, the universal fix for almost everything. Granted, it probably won't solve ALL your problems, but it certainly will get a bit better, at least. Excellent advice, thuh Freak, I use top as well when my system feels slo…
    in Why is this 800MHz G4 so slow? Comment by jrego June 2002
  • I'd recommend rebuilding the hard drive with a tool such as DiskWarrior. Also, test the RAM, etc, make sure nothing got fried.

  • Rev. A iMacs have the benefit of the mezanine slot. If you're not already using it, I'd look into an ethernet adapter for that. I'm not sure if one exists, but it's worth a shot.

  • Well, you could always alter your UNIX keymappings, if anybody can figure out how. I know it's possible, but I've never really given it a shot (haven't needed to). A cursory check didn't turn up any friendly GUI tools, so it may just be you and yo…
    in Pro Keyboard eject function on an older keyboard... Comment by jrego June 2002
  • Apples aren't as flaky as PCs, in general (had a PC laptop that just randomly died, took a couple of registered Comaq service providers and a few hours to fix it, and I know, I didn't ASK for a Compaq...). Still, I've seen some rather expensive pro…
    in Apple Care -- Is it worth the $250? Comment by jrego June 2002
  • I've seen phantom "used files" on network drives, too. Apparently, it's not just limited to disk images. Restarting does work, but that's a pain. You can also try to use your handy UNIX skills to remove the file from your drive. Try "rm -f filen…

  • Try Gefen for converters, they make a lot of stuff, including a VGA to ADC adapter. Their stuff is a bit expensive, but it does look like quality hardware. I can't personally vouch for it, though. Their website is:

  • I think the problem is Apple's recent emphasis on security. Connecting the older OSes was not very secure compared to what we now enjoy with 9 and X. Logically, trying to connect a 7.5.x machine to X would not be a good idea from a security standp…

  • One thing I've noticed is that my graphics card/hard drive sometimes cannot keep up with huge near-lossless formats, and thus playing them can look... pretty bad. Sorenson Video 3 (highly compressed) files often look better than DV stream files (wh…
    in iMovie quality question... Comment by jrego June 2002
  • Constantly? In what console? Just while you're installing? A better explanation of your problem would probably help. Are you talking about the terminal window after the install, or a single user mode type of UNIX prompt during the install? Or i…
