If WaitingForLoginWindow is an app, does this mean it can be replaced with a custom-built app? The name implies that it simply waits for the login window to open, then quits (prog…

WaitingForLoginWindow is an "application" with graphics inside it, yes. The graphics inside can be replaced with a custom made. For a detailed walkthrough, including the restrictio…

Has anyone figured out how to customize the login screen (not the login/boot panel) in Tiger. In 10.3 you could edit /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins/loginwindow.…

My computer is configured to connect to the airport base, i've spoken to apple support and they checked all of the settings which appear to be ok, they used the same settings to su…

Have you considered reworking the base station's setup? If you're getting any sort of PPPoE message, (and you have the base station log you into your DSL connection) your base sta…

Some time ago I lost the original USB cable that came with my Canon A40 camera. I bought a replacement USB cable with the appropriate Mini-USB connector on one end (A or B, whateve…
