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/

I have looked through the forums, looked through the folders on my computer and cannot find where to install the Optimized G4 Boinc Superbench client that I downloaded from our for…

OK.... Here is what I did for Mac os X 10.4.xx. This may not be the correct or best way but seemed to work for me. If you are already running BOINC manager, select 'no new work' …

The client downloads automatically for all projects into the projects folder for that project. On seti at home you have an option to install a highly optimised client which is avai…

Team MacNN has several different flavors of optimized BOINC Manager, depending on whether you have a G3, G4, or G5, and 10.4.x or 10.3.9. The web site is here for the optimized BO…

I need some help on this. I've switched from CLI to Boinc manager. However the Boinc manager is not sending the completed work units. I switched because, the prior CLI stopped sen…

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…
