I've got a dual core intel iMac connected to an EyeTV 200 (universal software). I'm considering installing CyTV on the intel iMac but CyTV only has a PowerPC version. The other c…

Hi - sorry... I still have the PPC Mac Mini but I can tell you CyTV is friggin cool!

Leaving Thunderbird running seems to prevent my G5 from going to sleep on it's own (due to no action on the keyboard or mouse for a specified time). Short of quitting Thunderbird e…

First of all, nice Mac!!!! I see your specs in the post. Are you sure it's T-Bird causing the problem? I don't have that problem w/it on my G4 iBook. Hmm, I'm running t-bird 1.5.…

I'm running 1.5...but I do have a few extensions running in it.

I had the same problem. I had set up TBird 1.5 so that it checked for mail automatically every 10 minutes. I set the sleep time to 15 minutes. It never went to sleep. Apparentl…

im not sure if this is the right forum or not, but i'll soon find out.. what is a droplet and what are they used for?? is it something different than a contextual menu? i've bee…

A Droplet is an AppleScript app (or now Automator, also) that launches when an item is dropped onto it's icon in the Finder. It then does it's thing to said item and promises to gi…

As long as your videos are on itunes, will they be able to go onto a video ipod? or does it have to be a certain file type? how do I find what file type it is?

Hi. I'm fed up with PC's and Windoze and all the probs that go with it, and am happily defecting to Macs. After much research, it seems I should have come to my senses and done thi…

Depends on your uses for the machine, and how long you wanna/can wait If you NEED a computer NOW, & will run only ppc software, grab an iMac NOW, & be happy. The 20" iMac…

Yes, exactly. If you just do a little web surfing and email you can buy whatever you want. If you do serious things and rely on a working system, better buy a trusted ppc machine…

I have an old osx box that records video of motion in the driveway. The hard drive will fill up, and the app(evocam) will stop recording. Is there some app that can email me when…

It's been a while since I tried it, but doesn't Evocam have a setting that does this automatically? Otherwise maybe an applescript that temporarily checks free space on the drive a…

LOL! I love how MS states at the bottom that CandyBar is the best way to customize your desktop images. Idiots.

I need to know if Macs support ASM. This is some type of code a programer used to write one of his programs. Hes willing to try for a mac if it isn't to much trouble and wants to k…

Er…ASM is shorthand for assembly language. It's totally processor-dependent. So while you can write a Mac program in assembly, whether or not that will run on a given box depends o…

not all of it is in asm. he has c and c++ in it as well. but i know those are mac compatible so i was just worried about asm. So what you are saying is it will depend on what proce…

If he's converting from one processor's assembly to another, he'll most likely have some issues converting the assembly code. C/C++ is relatively processor independent.
