Great. Where were you last night, auricom?
- err0
What problems I don't have any? What should I look for all I see is that everyones CPU freeze.
Arggg I just updated 3 macs last night.

I upgraded 2 macs at work to 10.2.5 and don't have any problems. So ha.
Here is an OS X tip:
Grab all of the porn you can, put it into a folder, and set screen effects to display the images in that folder. It's hilarious to see images of nasty freaks freaking all over as it pans slowly and elegantly. Possibly put iTunes on a classical station at the same time. CHICKS LOVE IT.

i updated my mac at work, rather funk it up then my home mac. i couldn't get my system prefernces to work nor could i choose anything from the apple menu. couldn't even logoff to see if it was just my account. plus photoshop was tweaked and i couldn't get the the SMB server.
luckily i still 9.2.2 on it so i just used it all day. hell i'm the only one at work that uses 10.

I have had no problems. I even test some of the areas that were listed above.
I have a TiBook 550.

Ive tested all my macs no problems as of yet.
except the tibook 667 froze when the screensaver loaded up. (BEACH)
but thats it.

dont bother minimizing... its a get effect but in order to re-open the windows you need to click them in the dock....
APPLE-H to hide the app and ALL its open windows when you want to open them again either click on the icon of the app or APPLE-TAB threw your open apps until you get to the open you wand boom there is all your work.

you you ever need any help email me and I will help you along. OS X is not only the future for Apple but once you learn how to use it and its tricks you will wonder how the hell your computed with out it.

i'm wondering if my problems have anything to do with it being an older G4, 500 mhz. i fixed the photoshop problem but still nothing with the apple menu items. hell can't even select "About this mac".

get cleardock, it makes your dock clear. Which is obviously essential.
apple shift a opens your applications folder.
APE manager lets you swap different GUI skins.
Sony Ericsson t68i phones go well with OSX

is there a keyboard shortcut to minimize only one window of an application???
for example i have two netscape windows open but i just want to minimize one of them (with keyboard)
i have been using windows for years and im accustomed to do that
As well how can i navigate through my folders windows?? the Apple + tab doesnt work! it just works for applications not folders
thanks guys for your support

apple m
theres a hack called windowshade that makes windows behave like os9, dbl clicking collapses them.
As for your folders windows just choose column view in your finder preferences.

I'm new to os x and mac too...
Is there something like Add/Remove programs in os x? Some place where I can see every application that's installed, and then delete the ones I don't want anymore?

To view all applications in OSX-->
click on "about this mac" under the apple on the left. a window will then open up and tell you the ram and os version you are running. then click on the "more info" button at the bottom of the window. then click the "Applications" tab.To delete an Application -->
Simply find the application you want to delete and drag it to the trash if there is no uninstall file associated with it. Most apps are stand alone apps like Internet Explorer but on occasion you will find apps that are in their own folder like Adobe Acrobat 5.0. in this case simply delete the whole folder and your all set. Sometimes its best to search the hard drive for any other instances or ancillary files the app may have originally installed.
