On thinksecret they have a screenshot of the desktop of OS X.1.2 and the dock in that screenshot has what looks to be tabs or tabbed folders on it. Can anyone tell me what this is. Shareware, a new feture of the dock or something else. The picture can be found <a href=" http://www.thinksecret...

I tried going through some (okay, A LOT) of Carbon and Cocoa (no Classic) apps to stress-test my Mac. Well, after a while I tried running 'top' in the terminal, I got the message "No more processes." WTF??Does Mac OS X have a limit on the number of threads it can run?? :confused:So much...

A while ago Maccentral had an article saying that 10.1 had some sort of Surround Sound Frameworks. Does anyone know anything about this? Is Apple going to impliment Surround Sound through the CPU like they do with stereo sound? Or is it the frameworks for a 3rd Party card :confused: . Any "In...

I've been switched back to OS9 for the most part these last few months, but I'm starting to slide back over to OSX, especially on my new iBook.I'd be curious to see people list their preferred OSX software apps, their "tool chest" for various functions. Maybe it would be instructiv...

I'm looking at setting up an OSX server to run our workgroup. Im trying to find out if OSX has, or if there is a third party app that allows real-time messaging between machines on the network. Haven't had much experience in this area so if this is dumb question feel free to flame :) th...

I cant stand it! It always goes on at such inopportune times. I went to permentally disable this annoyance. Help me, hearing beep-beep-beep in games is not welcome.

$%$##*- meaning arrgh.sorry, my login settings are again scrambled. Mac OS X does this repeatedly and regularly by itself to me, so I guess it's a feature.But every new fresh installation sets the login to "automatic", and after a little while I find myself presented with a request for my pas...

OK, I missed some things about the old Apple Menu, my short-cuts to applications, etc. To substitute I placed them in folders in the dock. I had never noticed until I accidently right clicked on one of those folders just now but all my old functions are right there.If I got really ambitious I co...

I know it is probably just a pipe dream, but does anyone else think that perhaps these two events are related in some way?If 10.2 is complete enough to have been released at MWSF but was then pushed back to a summer release, that would indicate to me that there are some major changes occurring, no...

Hi everyone,I apologize in advance for any dumb questions I may ask, but as you'll soon be able to tell, I'm very new to this. I'll try to keep it as short as I can.I recently purchased a DP G4/450 with 256MB of RAM at auction (used). It came with a few programs loaded such as Illus...

I have no idea how but I think I might've deleted Aqua when I was playing around with OS X. Now I have some pretty ugly theme that I downloaded a while ago for some reason so could someone please send me Aqua? Thanks.

Moderator, mebbe this should be moved to the Genius Bar, sorry..Now this is wierd! Have 10.1 and after a brief reboot into OS 9, seemingly have lost ability to add background images, both my own pics and from the set of Apple Background Images. I can drop them in the well, or select them from th...

Hi, any idea why the java console in the internet explorer (MacOS X 10.1) is always empty? Is this a bug or is this a configuration issue? Thanks! Smaxxy2

What does this mean? I get that message when I type 'clear' in the terminal. Curiously, when I ssh into my Cube server (on 10.0.4) clear still works, even using the same terminal window. Clear used to work without a problem, but it's not lately. I don't recall changing anything...

The old Adobe Type Reunion functionality is sorely missed. Does anyone have any command-line hacks that would enable this (by treating folders in fonts the way that the Classic Apple Menu did)? Or are there share/freeware products that do this?

Back to the pre 10.1 time we heard that Adobe was complaining about the API of X and they said it was crap and would be extremely difficult to port their apps.But during that time we did see some big apps really ported to X. From high end apps in 3D (Maya, Lightwave, Cinema), Motion capture (FilmB...

Anyone heared anything about drivers coming for the intelli keyboards and mice?

It's magically appeared via Software Update.

Everytime I restart to OS 10 and I open my Mac OS X hard disk it's ALWAYS shown in list view! And I always want it to be in Column view! This is getting on my nerves because in os 10.1 it used to be just fine. After upgrading to 10.1.1 it began to do it. Yes I did check the box in the Finder-...

I have my computer set to use the graphite theme in OS X, however, just recently some programs have started to defy the system setting to use graphite widgets.

What did I ever do without this? I've got it tucked away in the lower left hand corner, in "floating window" format. I've even learned several things:1 Itunes playing MP3s in the background uses about 20% of the processor power.2 Microsoft Turd for OS X hogs the processor, sometimes even...

I have a dual USB iBook, 500mhz with 256mb of ram. I wanted to know how much of an effect extra RAM has on OS X performance. Right now its pretty good, but with any more than a few programs open, it goes really slow. This doesn't happen on 9.2. I'm thinking about upgrading to 384mb. Than...
