Grab Ever since I can remember, I've been using command-shift-3 or -4 to make screen snapshots. It doesn't seem to be described any longer in Tiger Help. It says to use Grab. It's more cumbersome to open the application than to hit three keys. Is it superior? ... 23 Apr 2010 21:02
Ripping a DVD? Michelle Steiner wrote: I'd like to copy the contents of the DVD to my hard disk; what free or low-cost software is available for me to do that?

I've tried different US... 23 Apr 2010 21:02

I want to install Snow Leopard on the 17" iMac, but its optical drive has failed. I know the MacBook Air OS can be installed this way, but how about the iMac? When I re... 18 Apr 2010 23:02
OS X Terminal and ports I'm installing the UPS (battery back-up) monitoring program apcupsd. After basic configuration, I can't get apcupsd to run. It stops immediately, reporting: Cannot open UPS port tty.PL2303-000053FD: No such file or directory yet when I list all devices it shows up exactly as "tty.PL2303-000053FD". I... 18 Apr 2010 18:37
access Linux ext3 fs os leopard? I have some old Linux HDs lying around, which I would like to read from my Leopard macbook.

Resizing images pardon me for asking a Mac related question... A cousin has a vanilla Mac. She has photos in Iphoto. Those images are too big to be emailed. On a vanilla Mac, is there a way to downscale an image to a smaller size and save it on disk so that a browser can then upload the smaller file ? I know that when using... 20 Apr 2010 16:01 |
