Dai the Socket Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Lol that's odd...Mine does - Also this might help:It should have preserved your previous settings, it did for me after a couple of tweeks in settings.

Tomm Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 how do i get my toolbar transparent!? i have just installed leopard but it still hasnt gone transparent yet helpLeopard does a system analysis when you install it - if you have an older mac it turns off some of the special effects. How old is your PC? If it's as old as mine (Powerbook) then it won't be transparent ( ) although the word on the street is that it's a bug and it might get fixed in 10.5.1.EDIT: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306894So it looks like the graphics card in my 1.5Ghz Powerbook (GeForce 5200 Go) SHOULD be compatible with the transparency, but isn't, so they're calling it a bug. Which may or may not get fixed :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR_Trials Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Is there a way of logging into iChat with your msn address so sort of using iChat as your msn. If you get what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get what i mean.Unfortunately not. You can use Adium for all these types of online messenger but iChat works only with .Mac, AIM, Jabber and Google Talk accounts.

RR_Trials Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Unfortunately not. You can use Adium for all these types of online messenger but iChat works only with .Mac, AIM, Jabber and Google Talk accounts.Its just i use aMSN and its quite slow and uses alot of memory for what it is.

JonMack Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Get Adium! I'm currently signed into my MSN, AIM, MyspaceIM and 2 Gtalk accounts. Although I did make my contact list look really ugly last night for some reason, and can't be bothered to change it. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Dose it support, Webcam and coloured DisplayNames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 No and no. But it's better than aMSN. I use aMSN when I wanna go on webcam/watch people on webcam, apart from that I use Adium all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well thanks for the advice chaps! I'll give Sims 2 a go then. I'm hoping the 256vram can do well with something other than the funky visualisations within iTunes. I'll report my findings once it's arrived, should it prove useful information for anyone else Works fine, beefed resolution, all the trimmings. Forgot how annoyingly addictive this game is...N.B. the card is an X1600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR_Trials Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I was just randomly checking to see how much each section of my HD was taking up memory-wise and looked at my music folder which contains ONLY music this folder is 14.45gb. Yet in my iTunes i have all the music in there and it says at the bottom the music is only 6.99gb. Dose anyone know my problem because i wouldn't mind that 5gb or whatever it is back.

Rob_P Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You have got ALL your music in there haven't you? (in itunes) subfolders the lot.Also have you deleted any music from itunes, as when it says do you want to delete, move to trash, I don't think it actually does.No idea other than that.
