The link the OP posted lists that fix as one of the suggestions so evidently it hasn't worked in this instance (and fwiw, yes, it is far too common an issue, grrr).

I've tried all the methods describe in the link above but nothing seems to work. The main OS help viewer doesn't show anything, nor do any of the applications. I don't use it that …

If you need something prior to the archive and install, don't forget that Help Viewer is essentially a browser. All help files are html and if you look in your /Library/Documentati…

I just tried opening the individual help files in the /library/documentation folder and can't do it with Safari. Nothing comes up and the Safari window is empty too, just like the …

Oops, my bad - those .help files are actually packages - you have to Show Package Contents and locate the index pages in the Resources folder.

So I did that and found that I when I tried to open macHelp.html I got a blank page, while opening the individual html documents in the other folders work. I'd assume the machelp.h…

I extracted the help files from the install DVD and just replaced them on my powerbook and it worked! So strange given that I used Pacifist's option to install before and it didn't…

Hi....I have some questions in which format would best suit me in both video quality, sound quality and battery life. I use a program called Handbrake, is it good or are better one…

Better quality? H.264 I'm not sure about battery life. Encode at 320x240 and save your source material.

Mark is right. H.264 provides far better quality and at lower file sizes. I use Handbrake as well, but have really fallen in love with an application called Podner. http://www.spla…

The iPod can display H.264 only up to 320x240 anyways. If you use Handbrake, make sure you keep your bitrates below 768 Kbps, and use the Baseline (not Main) profile. If you use a …

I use this handbrake guide, and have never had any problems, http://howto.diveintomark.org/ipod-dvd-ripping-guide/

There has been some debate elsewhere, that running an optimised manager or client is cheating in some way, but this is not my view. BOINC is open source and issued on a lesser gn…

I never understood how people were cheating under Seti Classic. Can someone explain this? I ran the stock client, slow though it was on a variety of machines and welcomed the fac…

Well said, Todd. I also agree with Knightrider's comments. As far as I'm concerned, over-clocking a computer is no different that the much more expensive method of buying a fast…

I really don't see the point. Someone crunches more, he asks for less points, though more often. Someone crunch less because of his computer, he asks for more points less often and…

Thanks for outlining that - I always presumed it was some crazy thing like finding a way to make the result look like 10 or 20 on one PC. Interesting too - that people were SO d…

My ipod 30gb Will not play videos with sound on my computer or my ipod once i have converted them. If i have the video in itunes it plays once i converte it to be ipod ready it has…

are you trying to convert the videos in itunes? if so i had similar trouble. you have to download a video converter. i use the jodix converter. http://www.ipod-video-converter.org/…

Hello there, I've got a very similar problem. I can't seem to hear any sound from the iTunes music store or when I play back any vid's that I've downloaded. The vid's run fine, bu…

I'm using a Mac Mini as a file server (OSX Tiger, not server edition) and can access the Mini's external drives to store backups on from my powerbook. My wife uses a Wintel laptop…

After much searching on the web, I came across SharePoints, and this works. I can create new shares and make them work with SMB sharing. I just do a search on the XP laptop for w…

Here's the situation. I have two PB's. One stays at home. I have a LaCIE 500 GB external hard drive connected to this PB. I want to back up the files from a second PB onto the LaCi…

I have a similar set up, with various LaCie drives mounted on my G5 desktop system. If I want to read or write files on one of these external volumes over the network from my lapto…
