Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier)
Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier) Nothing can be more frustrating than turning on your Mac only to find that it won't start up. Instead of seeing the Finder, you see a blue or gray screen, an icon of a broken folder, a kernel panic, a flashing question mark, or a computer that just sits there. What can you do? Don't worry. It could be a simple issue that you can fix yourself. Note: This article applies to Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier. Tip: If your computer won't start at all, skip to "You see a blank, gray screen" below.

Are Mac OS X 10.5.8's iLife programs safe to use in Mac OS X 10.7.x and 10.8.x?
Hi. Someone told me that Mac OS X 10.7.x and 10.8.x do not come with iLife like the older Mac OS X versions (e.g., 10.5.x). I did not know this! Since my client uses iPhoto that came preinstalled on his old 2008 MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.5.x (10.5.8 right now), can he use the old one from 10.5.8? Or will he need a third party replacement (needs to import/copy the old image files) or buy a new iPhoto version for his photo(graph)s? I recalled he did not like iPhoto and wonder if the new one is any better. Thank you in advance. :) -- Quote of the Week: "Every ruler...

Mac OS X Kerberos Extras updated for Mac OS X 10.3
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Just a reminder to coincide with today's release of Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther"), the MIT Kerberos team has released an updated version of the Mac OS X Kerberos Extras that work with both Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). The Mac OS X Kerberos Extras allow CFM-based applications, such as Eudora and Fetch, to work with OS X's built-in Kerberos. Older releases of the OS X Kerberos Extras will not work with Mac OS X 10.3. You must have the latest release (which was released back in June) for it to work with Panther. However...

Cursor in Mac OS X 10.5.6 w/X11 2.2.3 and 2.3.2

Mac OS X 10.3.7 upgrated to 10.3.9 won't boot

Matlab crashes on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3
Matlab r2009b crashes on snow leopard 10.6.3 whenever I try to resize the gui frames; for example. with the default layout, if I try to drag to make the command window wider, it crashes.

gvim (v. 6.3) problems on Mac OS X (10.4)

I have tried setting mousemodel to both "extend" and "popup", but neither solve the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Bus Error asprintf. OS X 10.3.6. gcc 3.3

Apple Mac OS X 10.6 support & compatability with Python 3 ?
I've been given a MAC AIR laptop with OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard". On my desktop I dual boot with XP - Ubuntu and have Python on both. Unfortunately all my Python programs are written on Windows XP and I heavily rely on WConio for console I/O. Called Apple tech support. The technician had never heard of Python, ascertained the MAC AIR does not come preloaded with Python and did not know if Python 3 would run under OS X 10.6. This was "beyond" their expertise. Does anyone have experience with OS X ? Could I use WConio in a Windows emulator ? I have no experience with MACs and am debating whether to send this back before opening. Thanks.

repeated useless pauses in Eudora 6.0 and Mac OS X 10.3
All, I'm using Eudora 6.0 on a G4. After upgrading from Jaguar to Panther (10.2.x to 10.3.x) Eudora has started pausing for 4-5 seconds every other minute or so. The rainbow pinwheel spins even though there's nothing it needs to be doing at that time. (It only checks mail every 15 minutes, while this behavior is much more frequent.) It's starting to get really annoying. Any ideas whether upgrading to the latest version of Eudora (6.2 the last time I checked) will end this behavior? Thanks. -- Steve Caine (Remove the other white meat to reply.) -----BEG...

How do I install GMPY 1.11 on a Mac with OS X 10.6 and Python 3.1?
Ok, so I got a MacBook Air. Has OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Python 2.6.1 already installed. So I install Xcode, download macports and download gmpy-1.11rc1. Following the instructions in mac_build.txt, I do the following: - sudo /opt/local/bin/port install gmp This works fine. Then I do - python setup.py install This also works (a few warnings, but nothing looked serious).

cc65 on Mac OS X 10.3.x?
I just dusted off my old AIM 65, (a late 1970's early 1980's SBC), I though it might be interesting to make a small controller device using an SBC, and since I uses to do 6502 code many, many years ago, and I still have the AIM 65, I thought I could use it as the development platform. Anyway, I was looking around and I found an open source c comiler for 6502 and it will work on UNIX, so it sounded like a good match, maybe do the program in c instead of assembler. Anyway, I downloaded the compiler source, applied the patches the source and compiled it. I seems to compile OK, but now ...

Pbuffers on Mac OS X 10.3.x
In my quest for hiding the platform-specific details of pbuffer manipulation in my engine, I am now trying to get this to work on the Macintosh. The Apple documentation is not enough to help me over the rough spots (may05devdoc.dmg and its associated OpenGL pdf)--a verbal description of the order of calls and what they do, but not a single code sample to go with it. Sorry, Apple folks, but some of us are not mind readers. I downloaded the sample Xcode project, GLCarbon1ContextPbuffer, but found it quite awkward and hackish--the pbuffer code and application code are intertwined. A cleaner s...

Undefined symbols compiling wx2.6.3 samples/minimal app on Mac OS X 10.4

However, today I felt like trying WX using C/C++ and stumbled across http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/Mac_OS_X_And_Xcode_For_Beginners Since I already had WX itself built I followed only the part of "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR OSX 10.4/XCODE 2.4/wxWidgets 2.6.3" for compiling samples/minimal (including adding the given Info.plist). I needed to replace the reference to library wx_mac (which did not exist) with -lwx_mac_adv-...
