This post and thread should probably be closed. Talking about a 10 year old mouse issue that doesn't say if it's wireless or wired. The posters that talk about wireless mice neglect to mention if theirs are optical or laser, which are fully different in action on my Macs. No …

As for showing invisible files, you can use this from Apple's site. [url]http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/showorhideinvisibles.html[/url] Or, download Onyx for free as well. It has the ability to show or hide invisible files.

As the subject says, I really don't know where to put this, but since Windows folk are usually more versed in router set ups than Mac users, I thought this would be the place. Move it if it's not, thank you. Whenever I go out to my folk's place, they …

Welcome Roy, Never heard of a DOS mode on a Mac either. Maybe with Windows installed? Totally ignorant of that realm. You can use Zipeg, Stuffit Expander and The Unarchiver for free. Those are just the ones I'm aware of. If the zipped files are Mac compatible, any one of …

Usually, if you delete a zip file that hasn't been opened, you're good to go. Use Secure Delete (and that can be adjusted to more secure levels) and you're even better off. Takes longer because it over writes more than standard Delete.

I had the same issue some weeks ago, with my Mini. My Macbook worked fine. Both were on the same Trendnet router. My ISP doesn't have any support for Mail.app since outsourcing help to the Philippines. Trendnet 24/7 service dismissed it as a computer problem at first. Many Applecare techs …

I've found out from experience and Apple Care that I can no longer print documents or .jpgs that are taller than my 23" portrait/vertical oriented monitor or any other for that matter. Preview has been crippled in Snow Leopard so that it will not recognize that the image/document is taller/longer …

[QUOTE=vermeer99;1582732]royng, please back up your claims if you say the Mac has viruses, then please tell us all what the virus is called, so we can look it up. I am an Apple-certified technician and I have not yet heard of this. I am aware of a trojan (not virus) …

When you upgrade to Windows 7 your Windows Mail will no longer work. You can, from what I understand, upgrade to Windows Live Mail now and it will import your Windows Mail data. You will have to copy and restore the folder C:\Users\username\Contacts after your upgrade to Windows 7.

Welcome jacklegs/Mike, I see from looking, you haven't found an answer to this yet. The only thing I can find that might work for you, if you haven't cleared the caches, is to type into Camino and Opera's address bar, about:cache and hit enter. This does not work in Safari. …

This is illegal to do and against daniweb rules to give advice on. Your last link was about installing Windows on a Mac not what the OP asked.

It depends on the browser you are using. And, do you want to disable the pop up blocker, or get rid of pop ups by enabling it? If using Safari, go to the menu bar, click Safari, look down the list and either block or unblock pop ups.

Latest version is Snow Leopard and more than likely won't run on a G4 machine. You can buy an appropriate version from ebay.

From a slightly thorough look around, the answer is no. You can put them in G4 towers. Panasonic made one for laptops, but it's been discontinued.

Other than the methods you mentioned, Onyx can take care of that. It will delete caches, temporary items and more. And it's free. Good luck.

royng, Hello again from your other post on DOS. I use Camino the most. Using it right now. It uses the same engine as Firefox, but is like a stripped down version of Firefox. Both Safari and Firefox use way too much memory for my tastes. Opera is my second …

SplitFish makes something that might satisfy this request. The FragFX Shark Controller.

I started on Windows and swiftly moved to Apple within a year of dealing with Windows security. Now I only maintain friends' Windows machines. I don't trust Apple as far as security patches much either. I've not updated from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 since I've found no sure way to disable …

Go to Dell and look for mouse drivers for Mac OS X under Support. It should have all basic functions out of the box. Some drivers for mice, although said to be Snow Leopard compatible, are not or not very compatible. I have an $80 Logitech laser mouse that if …

I bought Disk Warrior and used it 4 times successfully. Then it started telling me, before replacing the directories, that to insure a failsafe replacement, that I needed to delete 98mb of 'contiguous' space for it to do so. Neither Alsoft nor Apple can tell me how to accomplish this. …
