Snow Leopard has the ability to mount NTFS volumes as read/write, but it’s not enabled by default. Here’s how to get full read/write support for NTFS drives in Snow Leopard : In Terminal, type diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name, where volume_name is the name…

Ever since OS X 10.5 came out, the embedded netrek server in MacTrek simply quit. I never got a good fix for that, which is why MacTrek 1.5 no longer supports a local server. At least that way a player…
Last one.. (i hope) here’s a snippet that will flick the screen in a best match resolution using only 10.6 API. – (void) setDisplay:(CGDirectDisplayID) dspy toMode: (struct screenMode) screenMode { CGDisplayModeRef mode; CGDisplayErr err; CGDisplayModeRef originalMode = CGDisplayCopyDisplayMode(kCGDirectMainDisplay); if (…
We used to have a cool function that would give us the best match for a given resolution, it’s deprecated so let’s work around it. Again Apple failed to provide a documented example so here is one: struct screenMode {…
This one is tricky, since Apple does not provide you with an alternative API. There is one hidden in the header files however, replace: .. bitsPerPixel = CGDisplayBitsPerPixel(CGMainDisplayID()); .. with: — (size_t) displayBitsPerPixel:(CGDirectDisplayID) displayId { CGDisplayModeRef mode = CGDisplayCopyDisplayMode(displayId); size_t…
I know this one has been depreciated in 10.5 to but i never found a nice replacement until now: message = [NSString stringWithCString:(buffer + 4) length:(arg2 -5)]; becomes: message = [[[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:(buffer + 4) length:(arg2 -5) encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease];
