  Panel Type in my MacBook Pro         


Author: Casper Vollenweider
Date: Sep 6, 2008 05:53

Hi

I'm thinking about buying a external Display for my MacBook Pro. I've
been reading a little about colors and different display technology's.
In different display magazines I read about TN, PVA, S-PVA, MVA and
S-IPS panels.

I'm pretty happy with the Quality of my MacBook Pro's 15" Display, but
couldn't find any information on the web about the panel built in. There
is only it's LED back light mentioned, but nothing about the panel
technology itself.
Knowing this would at least give me a hint, from what kind of displays I
should choose from.

  X11 problem on Mac Mini         


Author: jon
Date: Sep 2, 2008 00:56

Hi, I have a Intel 2.0Ghz Mac Mini fitted with 2GB of RAM (a process NOT
for the faint hearted!)

I want to install CrossOver, but it just wont run X11, I installed it
from the Leopard install CD (twice), then from the Apple downloads site,
I tried Disk Utility to repair disk permissions but nothing.

When I first installed OSX, I launched it from
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app, it just played peek-a-boo in the dock
with the icon appearing and disappearing, but now it just quits with no
error message.

But most annoyingly I have an old iMac G3 500Mhz with 384MB of RAM running
10.4.11 and X11 works perfectly.

Thanks for any help.

  Unexpected ACL Found -- Reason to Worry?         


Author: TaliesinSoft
Date: Sep 1, 2008 11:39

This morning when I tried to send an email from Mail nothing happened. My
first thought was to shut everything down, boot from a different disk, one
that has only the latest Leopard stuff, and run Disk Utility on my regular
startup volume, the one I've dubbed "Cowboy". The Repair Disk option produced
no errors. The Repair Disk Permissions on the other hand took about a half
hour and must have changed literally hundreds of instances where the user was
501 when it should have been 0. A second run of Repair Disk Permissions took
only a few minutes but produced the following.

====================

Verify permissions for ³Cowboy²

Reading permissions database.

Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

ACL found but not expected on "sbin".

Permissions verification complete

====================

Is this something to be concerned about? If so, what should I do?

Running fsck isn't a diagnostic measure - it's a disk repair measure.
But you haven't diagnosed this as a disk problem, have you? If this
isn't a disk problem, running fsck will not help at all.

So this may not be a disk problem -or- it's a disk problem that running
fsck doesn't solve.

The best thing to do is try and figure out what the actual problem is.
Only then will you b able to procede intelligently.

  Nagging Leopard problem         


Author: Pluto
Date: Sep 1, 2008 08:12

I have recently encountered a nagging problem with Leopard 10.5.4 on my
MacBook. Every day now I have application freezes. When I reboot in
single user mode and run fsck it always reveals an invalid file and
folder count when checking the volume information.

The problem is fixed but then recurs within an hour or two.

Anyone has any idea of what causes this and how to fix? I have run
Leopard Cache Cleaner and TechTool Pro but to no avail.

Thanks

  Printing part of an e-mail         


Author: Howard Brazee

I had a long message in my Mac Mail (I was trying out DiskLabel, and
when I tried to print it, it aborted - so I sent them my abort). They
included instructions to change my printer driver, and I wanted to
just print out that part.

I didn't see how to do this from Mail, so I cut and pasted what they
said into Text Wrangler - but lost my formatting, everything was in
one paragraph.

No big deal, I could format it by hand. But I want to learn a better
way for next time. What could I have done?

  Finding an error creating a disk image         


Author: Howard Brazee
Date: Sep 1, 2008 06:20

I copied a laserdisc to a DvD +RW (using a DVD player/writer) and
wanted to copy it to a DVD+R.

So I put it in my Mac and started it playing to test it, cancelled,
opened Disk Utility, and selected the New Image icon. It started
copying my DVD, but after a while the Disk Utility Progress changed
to:
Unable to create "My Fair Lady - part 1.dmg". (Input/
output error)

I tried again a few times, including once trying to write to my LaCie
drive. Same error.

1. How do I trace down my error?
2. Is it possible to skip this step, copying my DVD directly to my
Mad Dog portable drive?
