I'm updating a small screensaver I wrote to universal Binary, and I'm wondering about backwards compatiblity. I wrote it origionally on 10.3 and found it works on 10.2 as well (so…

If you compile as universal binary, you must use the 10.4u SDK. This makes it incompatible with anything less than 10.4. So "no", it will not work with 10.2, but even more signif…

I'll preface this with the caveat that I have no Macintels, so I haven't tested any of this myself. That said, it should be possible to create a 10.2-compatible universal binary. F…

Quote: Originally Posted by saddino Yes, there is a way. As you note, the SDK will affect what APIs are availble to your code, but unless you are using "fully deprecated" APIs …

Ah, I'm very glad to hear that I was wrong! I shall have to look into those suggestions.

I'm glad I posted this thread, because I quickly discovered I wasn't even compiling Universal Binary to begin with. And My saver was never compiled for 10.2... The URL above help…

i'm moving to a new place with Adelphia broadband connection. they tell me i can buy my own modem to use. there are two computers in the home. one is a macbook pro and the other …

D-link DI-524 Newegg has it for $41 - $25MIR = $16 + $2 shipping. Connect it to your cable modem (WAN port), then connect your mini to it (LAN port).

Why would you want to buy your own modem? All the broadband I've ever had has come with a modem that they take back when I unsubscribe.

This belongs in Networking. Further, Adelphia is a U.S. cable provider, and most cable providers "lease" the modem to the user. Why not just pay a relatively small amount once in…

whats my best option for a modem/router. i'm thinking about putting the main computer downstairs, then having my macbook up and around the house wirelessly. should i get an all …

With the modem, you have little choice. Buy whatever basic model Adelphia says you need (they're $50-80 last I saw). Don't buy one that includes a wifi AP in the modem (can't upgra…

ok, gotcha ya. hows the d-link compared to the linksys?

I had lots of trouble with D-Link and Netgear. My Linksys has been going strong. tooki

Linksys and Netgear (twice!) have both had brain-dead security holes ("super"). Many people like the Linksys WRT54G because they can load different software on it, but I'm very ha…

which one has better reception? range? quality? i gotta pick one

Would something like this offer the same features as an AirPort Extreme at a lower price? http://www.usr.com/products/networki...es&sku=USR5461 Would the printer sharing confi…

Range and performance depend on so many different variables that it is impossible to say which one works better in all cases. I would look for a device that offers external, high-…

how do i add an access point? i'm moving into a 5 bedroom, 2 story house. i'd like to be able to walk aorund the house and at any point have my macbook function with a nice conn…

Adding an access point is as simple as pluging it into a LAN port on a wired router. You still have to set up the access point, but you do that via the network. And most likely y…

aah i got ya, i thought "access point" meant something else.

Access point means only the wireless connection between your wired network and your wireless network; it is different from a "wireless bridge" or "game adapter" because those two d…
