There have been a lot of topics here at Astahost Forums about people's favorite applications, but most of them were Windows. So I'll start a topic about our favorite Mac OS X applications. (Since we all know that OS X is the best! ) • Finder: obivuous choice, make my life so much easier • Safari: most used by far, a really good web browser and free • [url="http://adiumx.com"]Adium[/url]: best free IM client. (probably the best IM client period.) Free • [url="http://homepage.m
In Windows, I used to use a program that would read text to me, but I'd usually have to copy all the text into a window and then hit a button that would make it speak to me. Once I got a Mac OS, I wondered where I could find this feature. Although I love reading, my eyes are just not able to focus on text for too long, so I was looking for some kind of program to read to me - that is, have it read Ebooks (pdf) to me. So I have the computer read to me. Might be a little lazy, but it sure do
Anyone play games on their Apple Mac (either desktop or laptop)? I currently own both a Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch and a desktop computer running Microsoft Windows 7. I have never installed or played any games on my MacBook Pro, probably because I use the MacBook Pro for work and university education purposes. Although I am entitled to Mac copies of Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam, I have never tried any of those games on the Mac operating system. I think the reason that I do not lik

Mouse And Keyboard Not Responding...
If the keyboard and mouse doesn't respond (either no cursor or have cursor, but can't move it), is that a corrupted Mac OS or could it be a logic board issue? Let's say it's for an iMac with OS 8.6 or 9.2.2 installed... Thanks.
Hi everyone, I have a friend who is advising me to get a Router for my G4's connection to the web but since I am only running this one computer in one room, I don't understand what the advantages would be. He says that it will improve the reliability of my connection to the web, (which isn't something I\ve ever had a problem with) I didn't take him up on his offer to fit a Router for me but I am wondering now whether I am missing-out on something? Isn't a Router j

I currently use Safari for most browsing on OS X just because of stability. Firefox was able to decipher more sites correctly, but would frequently lock up (under 10.4.3), spike my processor, flood my bandwidth, and need a Force Quit. From posts in various forums at the time, this was not unusual and due to a networking bug. Question is, with new versions of OS X (10.4.5) and Firefox, is it stable? Are other people still experiencing this problem?
I have been with my lovely macbook for 3 years. But, I feel so bad when my macbook started becoming so noisy since third years.

How Does Personal Web Sharing For Mac Work ?
Hi, I guess all of you as Mac OS 9 or X users came across Personal Web Sharing at least once. It is briefly said a folder (on OS X called Websites) where you can store websites. Then you can activate Personal Web Sharing in the Network/Sharing Control Panel and you get your IP right there, so others can access you online. Sounded easy to me so I tried, but I was not possible for friends to reach my pages (they just saw a page sayin' "Ruben's personal webspace" or something lik

Now that I've had a chance to use a Mac computer, it seems too easy to use once you know where stuff is. Being a fast learner, I don't like it very much. Because I am used to using Windows, I have some questions about Macs for the Mac experts around here. 1. Where is the text editor? Gedit (or Pico) in Linux, Notepad in Windows, ??? in Mac. 2. iWeb. As I understand from reading the page on Apple, iWeb allows you to instantly publish your photos, movies, etc to the web with a few clicks.
Hey everyone. I have an iBook g3 700 mhz with 256 RAM. It runs Mac OS pretty reliably, but a little slow. I'm thinking about installing either Ubuntu or Xubuntu, and I was wondering if anyone has done so successfully, while having their already-installed copy of OSX in tact. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I recently stumbled upon using OSX on regular PC.. I know, this is old school but before when I tried PearPC, It was so darn slow, I didnt get to install it.

FedEx dropped the little computer off on our porch yesterday. It may be small but not under-powered. It's has an 80 GB hard drvie, a combo drive (read/burn CDs, read DVDs), 512 MB memory, and a 1.42 GHz processor (PPC, so thats like a 2 GHz Intel, kinda) It's not an incredibly powerful machine, but it's the fastest computer in the house now and we're all very jealous. I came with Tiger and iLife '05 as well as a demo of the new iWork. Nobody can belive how small it is.

Os 10.5 To Use Sun Zfs File System
Slashdot has an article about it, but it looks like Apple is moving from HFS+ to ZFS for their harddrives, probably for Time Machine in OS 10.5 as the default file system. What does this mean? Support for OS9 is now gone, even on the PPC machines. Not a big shock, I have no applications in Classic anymore since QuarkXpress developed an OSX version. Also, it may help in indexing external hard drive arrays (for those of us in the video world) as well.
Help, My G4 Is Acting Very Strangely
Hi, Something very weird is happing to my G4 Tower lately because each time I restart it, something has changed....... for no reason.

G4 Tower And A Strange Fan Noise
I had a friend with an old Dual 1.25Ghz G4 quicksilver with 1.5GB of ram that went on the fritz. It was 5 years old and they told him it was the HDD. So he decided to buy a new MacPro instead of sinking more money into an old computer. (recently added 1GB of ram and had a new powersupply installed) He offered to sell me the hulk for $100 to cover shipping so I took him up. I had several good EIDE 80 and 120GB HDD's in a tub from old PC's so I figured cheap rendering node for my
I will be working on a G4 (I think) tower and the user is saying that the white power light is one when he pushes it but no other power seems to go through to the computer or monitor (no chime sound). He already replaced the 3.6 Volt battery on the logic board and also hit the reset button (CUDA). I haven't worked on these for a long time and have some questions: 1. Can I test the power supply using a 20 pin power supply tester? I did some reading up on this tower and it seems that it will
We had a Mactel developers box a couple years ago, but I finally purchased my first Mactel: a 2ghz 17" iMac for my father. To test the power, I used Blender 3D 2.42a and tested against my existing Powerbook (G4 1Ghz, 1GB RAM) and his iMac Dual Core 2Ghz chip and 1GB of ram. In a 1920x1080 (HDTV) rendering, it took about 8 minutes to complete on my powerbook. On his iMac with threads enabled: 48 seconds. This isn't exactly fair apples to apples, but the best I could do until I get
I've heard about people getting MacOS X to run on their PC and still keeping their Windows OS on too. how? i've heard of hackintosh or sumthing like that but how do i get this. i've also seen videos on youtube.
His Mac computers the best computers for working with audio ? I think mac computers, are the best to work with audio producing. Mac operation systems are very stable, and very light for working with audio and image. When i have possibility to buy one,i will buy one Mac. I already worked with Mac G4, in a studio, and i was exited with the performance of the computer and its operation system. Don´t you agree with me ?
Security firms warned users of Apple's Mac OS X earlier this week about the existence of an exploit that could result in the execution of arbitrary code. The news has made upgrading to version 10.4.7 even more important, as the update fixes the issue. The vulnerability lies in an operating system file called "launchd." The proof-of-concept code was created by Digital Munition security researcher Kevin Finisterre. He has written other exploits in the past, including another for a B

Anyone Here Any News About MacOS 10.5

I have a PowerMac G3 that I'm working on and it's giving the kernel shutdown error from time to time.

Now that Macs are FINALLY affordable and nice, is there anyone here who is considering getting one? (especially since If it didn't work out a mac mini is a small easy server). And for those of you who aren't, is it because you don't need a new computer, don't care, or is it still too expensive(please consider the software bundle, and your pirated stuff doesn't count). Also, if you aren't switching, what would it take?

Mac OS-X Kernel: Is It A Bad Idea ?
Monolothic kernels.... Pros... 1) Easy to write drivers. 2) Fast 3) Simple Design. cons... 1) 1 faulty driver can crash the whole system. Microkernels... Pros... 1) Very Stable, drivers dont run in kernel space, so faulty crashing driver can just be re-started without affecting the rest of the system. cons 1) A little hader to program. 2) Device Drivers must use message passing instead of driect calling to get anything done... you lose a little performance. The MacOSX kernel is what they

Lately, I have been exploring other options. This time, I will talk about Camino, Safari, and Firefox. Later I will probably post about OmniWeb and Opera. There were several reasons I stuck with Safari as my default browser. The first was that it came with the OS and was well-integrated. At the time, Camino seemed unsable

It appears that the main reason Macs are safer is merely because they are such a small segment of the computer market.

Dead Imac Battery = No Bootup?
Was just working on another one of these iMacs and this one won't even power up. Tested everything I can...had to bring it in the office and they replaced the battery. I assume this is that little 3.5v battery I've seen. My question is, does that render a iMac powerless if it has no juice left? I'm still learning about the Mac everyday, but from what I know the main thing that causes no power (can't even power up) is if the analog board is bad. I thought that small battery w

It probably won't be too useful for you unless you frequent [url="http://brian.astahost.com/forums"]my forums[/url], but if you could test it out for e anyway, I could really use it. I don't have Tiger yet so I've looked at it in Safari, but I can't preview it in Dashboard myself.

When the major OS' were first being created the reason that people liked macs is because of their ease of use. You didn't have to memorize all sorts of code just to open a document, they had an interactive interface from the start. Now that everything is so simple a hamster could run it, the Apple company has gone the other way. They still have the simple interface for those that don't require something more customizable, but thanks to a little program called Applescript you can us

For those of you who don't know, [url="http://www.apple.com/macosx/"]Panther[/url], Apple's newest OS (Mac OS 10.4) is coming soon. Apple has said that it will be released in the first half of this year, so within 3 months. But some [url="http://"]sources[/url] say that the release date may be announced this Friday (April Fools, so maybe it's just a joke?) and it will ship during April.

What Is Your Favorite Ilife App?
We just got iLife '05 and it reminds me how much I LOVE iLife. Which one is your favorite? I'm thinking GarageBand. Making movies with iMovie and iDVD is fun, but I don't have movie to edit very often. iPhoto is nice and iTunes is awesome, but you can get it without iLife. So Thinking GarageBand is my choice. I want to make some tunes.

Okay, here's the gig.. I have an iMac DV (G3 400MHz) sitting on my desk, currently unused. I want to install Mac OS X, due to support for Mac OS "Classic" being cut off (I liked classic...), So I've decided to make the move to OS X, but...I don't want to use Aqua....I want to use X, and WindowMaker as my window manager. But...Since I'd be running X and WindowMaker instead of Aqua....Would OS X-native programs that would normallly run in Aqua be able to run in X, withou
