DMG mounting issues & Sandbox.kext/Seatbelt.kext * LAST EDIT November 25, 2012 The Problem Kernel Panics, which happen during the mounting if Disk Images (.DMG), can be caused by not having the correct Sandbox.kext/seatbelt.kext matched…

I have a MacPro 1,1 and am considering installing Chameleon to emulate EFI64 (See jabb awok.net/?p=47). The method described within Jabbawok's guide uses a second drive to set up Chameleon and the installer. This drive would continue to be…

Yesterday I gave PCwiz's Osxtools a try. I wanted to install EFI bootloader as I have been using the bios to change which drive to boot up & I was thinking of upgrading to 10.5.6. I ran the tool and it prompted for a restart. After restart…

Im fooling around with an Acer Aspire One and ran into this when I try to run the Firefox Installer. [EDIT] I get a similar error when I close the lid to put it to sleep. Acer Aspire One A150 Atom 1.6Ghz 1GB Ram 10.5.5. with Voodoo Release…

It's near that time. Apple Insider released [float=right] an article with a YouTube video displaying the new Stacks for 10.6. You will now have the ability to navigate deeper into the folder hierarchy while remaining in the stacks view.…

I think I am missing something. Ive used this tool about a year ago on a PPC with good results. Using it with my Leopard install has been less successful. I must have missed the part on the site/manual where it says the actual limit to…

Apart from Apple's Dev site can anyone give me some recommendations on books or articles regarding OSX. I am thirsty for knowledge.

Not that anyone would be using a pirated copy of iWork but this just goes to show that the focus on OSX is growing. toms guide.com/us/Apple-Virus-iWork-Pirate,news-3343.html

I like the new background. Very festive. I hope everyone has a merry Christmas.

I am familiar with changing values in property lists via the command line. Does anyone know how you can remove all the strings in a particular part? I use an old version of Capture One Pro and every session you start is saved in a drop…

So I am starting from scratch and would like some advice. Questions: 1. Which distro should I use? Or should I use the Kalyway distro I already know works and update? 2. Do the program crashes apear to be cause because of my AMD processor…

I am browsing Google for the answer but I figured I would throw it out here in addition. Can you point OSX to a specific drive to use for its scratch disk? In XP I know you could setup which drives it uses for scratch and how much memory…

I came across this article on Macworld.com which talks about the AppleDisplayScaleFactor variable. By setting this variable to say .80 the next time you open an application it will scale to this percentage. The article explains how to set…

I am receiving an AppleScript Error when trying to pull AirPort Extreme Update. sh: line 2: 1.0*Convert: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".0*Convert") (127) I do not necessarily need to install this update but the…

Well this is a new one. I updated to 10.5.8 and everything has been running fine. The computer has been on for a week or two since its first restart after the update. I had a brown out and now Its hanging on "AppleNForceATA::Free" I hear…

So someone please tell me if I got my facts right. 1. Leopard OSX is 64bit compatible. 2. Using the -Legacy flag forces 32bit only. 3. Not using the -Legacy flag will allow me to run compatible applications written to support 64bit. But…

Anyone experienced 100% fan speed for long durations on a PowerPC? Ive got a Dual 2.0Ghz G5 and I ran fsck on the main drive from Single User Mode and that thing revved up and stayed revved up for a reasonable amount of time. Just figured…

I noticed this while browsing the news stand. Assuming the screens fold in and don't slide into the main screen, I feel sorry for the poor guy who has to sit next to a tribook owner on a long flight.

I don't know how many Firefox users we have here but Id like to point them to Foxmarks. I went through my Firefox on a USB drive phase but id always forget it at home. With Foxmarks ive got 4 computers from home to work syncing my…
