Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2005

I have changed my system dates to use the 24 hour clock, but the iCal,
iChat and some other aps still use AM and PM.  Is it possible to make
everything use 24 hour time or do I have to be satisfied with 12 hour
AM/PM for some applications?

OK, so I've been playing with iLife '05, and it's great.  iPhoto's upgrade
is worth the cost of admission by itself, but I'm beginning to really like
GarageBand.
One thing I'd like to do, and I can't see an obvious, non-annoying way

Can someone comment on the compatibility of the Sony DCR-TRV480
Digital8 Handycam Camcorder with imovie?
I take note that the list of compatible camcorders on the Apple site is
way out of date.

it starts, then crashes. :(
I have an ibook G4 running os x v.10.3.8 . . .
I ran a virus scan and it was clear. I don't know anything about
computers  . . .

I have to let off some steam. I have tried two well-known FTP clients.
Both say they support the keychain. Neither retrieve my ftp passwords
from the keychain. It seems they only use the keychain for passwords
they made themselves, which defeats the purpose of having one keychain

From old unix days on vax/sun I am accustomed to using C-space to "set
mark" in emacs. However, when I tried this on my Mac (OSX, Carbon
Emacs), the command was intercepted by Butler which is also installed.
It never gets to Emacs.

I d/l Panther Cache Cleaner 2.4.7 to work with OS10.3.8.
I now cannot login. As usual I press OK and don't enter anything. I get
incorreect login.
Anyone Help?

Hi,
I'm trying to buy a router that will send a signal wirelessly to an
iMac.

I recently bought a used software which apparently needs two
reigstration numbers and the previous owner duly gave me both.
Now when I run the sw and the activation scree comes up, one
box already has a number in it which I can't edit and which is

I have a few hundred 15 to 20 year old WriteNow 4.0 documents
distributed in locations all over my Panther HD that I'd like to make
more readily accessible by converting to PDF documents.  
I can open them individually in Classic mode, print to file, then

This is rather strange but all my Cyrillic fonts seem to have
disappeared, possibly as a result of upgrading to OS 10.3.7 (???). They
aren't in Font Book, tho they are there in Character
Palette->Unicode->Cyrillic (including some phenomenally obscure

I am using Toast 6 on a LaCie dvd burner. Is there a way to burn a
video that is configured  in the RealMedia format to a DVD? LaCie
doesn't have an answer. Roxio doesn't have an answer. Is there other
software that is compatible that I can use on a iMac G5?

Some of you may be interested in this free program
download and others may not. I noticed
this while surfing the

My mother's G3 (running 10.3.7) was getting pretty sick, so I tried to
use DiskWarrior to fix the directory.  No luck -- DW kept getting
partway through, and then hanging.
So I brought her computer to my home, and connected her to my dual G4

I'd like some help setting up my Powerbook, "tibook G4", 10.3.8 at
400mhz to surf the internet wirelessly.  We travel in a RV, and some
campgrounds have "Wi-Fi" available for our use.  Presently we use the
modem system, which is real slow.  It would be GREAT to be able to go
