(You can also easily just do a search for it). Using "Get Info" you can lock it by checking the "Locked" box. Make sure you have the dock set up the way you want it before you do. Obviously, they still will be able to poof the items out of the dock, but a restart or log out and in will return it to the way you set it up.

Message-ID: <20060124201632.90794.qmail@web88106.mail.re2.yahoo.com> I tried to run Cubase on my Powerbook G3 with OS9.2, but apparently it won't run properly on it because it needs a faster disk with 7200 RPMs, and this one is slower than that!. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other software that I could use to record audio tracks on WAVE format, and that will run on this powerbook, either on OS9.2 or OSX (I can always upgrade the OS on the powerbook). That way I can make the recordings on the PB and then transfer the WAVE files to my desktop G4 and edit it there using Cubase. Thanks in advance! E.

Something's not right there, or I don't understand what you're doing. I can capture DV (much higher bandwidth) to a 5400 rpm drive without a problem. Real-time audio shouldn't even stress the slowest of drives (unless you're talking many simultaneous tracks). Can you give a little more info on why Cubase isn't working? Do you maybe not have enough memory for it (I'm not familiar with the program)?

I can record ok, but the real problem comes at the time of playback. it will play the audio once, but if I hit the stop button and try to play it again, then it won't do anything else. I spoke to one of the salesman a the computer department of a music store, and he told me that the problem is that Cubase needs a disk with RPMs of at least 7200 because the disk spins faster, or something like that. I also run Cubase on my G4 desktop no problem. But I need to record on the laptop since its easier to carry around and a desktop! If I can record the tracks on the powerbook then I can bring it to my G4 and do all the editing there!

If you simply select the text you want and then press command-c (Copy from the Edit Menu) and then command-v (Paste from the Edit menu) into Text Edit it should work just fine, at least for text.

I set GC to make large previews and then when I visit a folder all the photos are displayed in adequate size. GC is a phenomenal program, but the interface is perhaps better for experienced users. The catch is that I use a unix program (with a shell (bash) function) 'jhead' to convert the file name of my digital photos to "year month day hour second" (no spaced) and a simple Perl script I wrote to file the photographs (and create the required directories). What I'm left with is a tree of folders Year/Month/Day each populated with photo's from that day. I also have Perl scripts to generate input from the photo directories into an SQL database (PostgrSQL) and viewable in Filemaker but that is overkill.

What finally worked was removing 3 DIMMs and leaving one in the '0' slot. Today I tried reloading all the DIMMs to see what would happen. I discovered that if I had a DIMM in slot 1, the Mac would not boot. Out of curiosity, I tried one of the old 256MB DIMMs in slot 1. That worked. Odd. The slot works with a 256, but not 512 DIMM.

Something I've seen happen once or twice with interrupted downloads is that the system thinks the file is in use, even after logout or restart, and refuses to move it to the Trash. It's possible to delete the file via the Terminal. (NB: the rm command doesn't move files to the trash; it deletes them, and there is no undo. So make sure you're deleting the right file.) 1. Open the Terminal application, in the folder /Applications/Utilities. 2. If necessary, move the Terminal window and/or hide other applications so that you can see the file you want to delete (in a Finder window or on your desktop). 3. In Terminal, type "rm ", without quotes but not forgetting the space after the letters. 4. Drag the file you want to delete and drop it in the Terminal window. Terminal will autocomplete the file's pathname, so you'll see something like this after the prompt: rm /Users/yourname/Desktop/example.ext 5. Hit return. Miche.
