Aug 29, 2012 - Wine is 100% safe since it is more of a translation layer than a generic way of running Windows. If you need to be able to run Windows, Wine and Winebottler aren't probably what you want to look at unless you have to run one or two Windows applications that are supported by Wine.

OS X :: How To Completely Uninstall Adobe TidySongs On Mac 10.5.8
Mar 17, 2010I have Mac OS 10.5.8 running on a G4 tower (Power PC). I installed Adobe TidySongs for the Mac, but it didn't work correctly so I tried to uninstall it with App Delete. When I try install it again, the TidySongs installer says I already have the same version installed. Does anyone know what I need to look for to get rid of all remnants of previous install (including js file and where this would be located). Do I also need to uninstall Adobe Air installer (which would affect Adobe Media Player as well)?

OS X :: Snow Leopard Build In WINE Without X11?
Oct 27, 2008Is it technically possible for Snow Leopard to build into OS X the WINE project, and have seamless ability to install and use Windows applications on OS X (without X11 cluttering it up - and with the realization it wouldn't be 100% compatible?) Is that even possible? Would the WINE license prohibit it?
Windows On Mac :: Running MSN Using WINE / CrossOver?
Jan 6, 2010I've been meaning to sign up for ages but only now am I getting around to it.Anyway, here is my question.I have been running Linux for quite some time, and am fairly adept at using terminal, WINE, etc. As with most people, I still cannot completely avoid Windows (Borderlands is addictive ok?) and I still use MSN, seeing as 95% of the people I know use it, not Yahoo messenger, AIM or Skype. Which is a nuisance for me, because while I like Adium, it really does suck compared to the real MSN client. And as usual, Microsoft pretends to be nice to Apple 'developing software for it' while making sure its products are crippled so people either need to run CrossOver / Wine or Parallels / VMware to use it inside OS X, or create a boot camp partition for Windows. This doesn't make me want to use Windows, it makes me even more glad I purchased a Macbook.Ranting aside, I find the Wine client for Mac kind of 2nd rate compared to the Linux version.Installing winetricks fails miserably, where on Linux it was simple. Also, the lack of a decent DMG file or package makes installing it that little bit more difficult, I've never had good luck at installing things via terminal, even on Linux.My question is, has anyone found a way to install Wine and Winetricks on Mac to install MSN messenger?-IMPORTANT NOTE-I have Adium installed, as well as Microsoft Messenger, aMSN and I've tried basically all the other clients out there. Do not suggest these as solutions. This is about how to install the OFFICIAL Windows Live Messenger on Mac OS X using Wine, CrossOver or another method.
PowerPC :: Wine + Ibook = Flashing Screen?

We got the battery out and it unplugged right away, but when I turn it on the screen violently flashes on and off. It does seem to run fine other than that, though.

OS X :: Want To Completely Re-install Mac OS X On My Mac Pro?
Nov 4, 2010I want to completely re-install Mac OS X on my Mac Pro for several reasons:
The system is old. I started it with 10.4.1 and upgraded it to 10.5, then to 10.6. On the way there, the system has been moved from an old Mac Pro to a new one.
The system has seen a lot of playing around with, tons of installs (incl. drivers) and by now is simply a grown mess with a lot of problems that I can't seem to fix nor want to fix.
So - I want a fresh start. And I need some help planing this.
Back in the days of 10.5 you had the option to 'archive and install', which would simply move the old system to a folder and install a baby fresh Mac OS X on the system. You could then go ahead and move things like applications, the user library and what not from the archived location back to the new install, one by one, piece by piece, in a very controlled fashion.
With 10.6 that option is no longer available.so the question is: How do I erase and install Mac OS X 10.6 while retaining my old stuff? I know how to do the fresh install, the point is more like how do I keep and import old stuff...
How good is the migration assistant? I figure you can use it to import old stuff from a time machine backup.
In the end, I want a fresh install and be able to import things like preferences/library for certain applications (that I don't want to rebuild from scratch, like a huge Plex Media Center install) - without reimporting things that are causing problems on the current install.
Any ideas,

OS X :: How Can I Completely Copy My Mac's HD To Another Mac
May 20, 2009Anyway, before the celebrations begin I want to know how I can completely copy my current Mac's hard disk to an external hard disk so that I can then copy this all onto my new Mac. Forget networking old and new Macs, that's out of the question for reasons too complicated to go into here.
Ideally I'd like to have my new Mac with all of the apps and documents and what have you that I've got on my current Mac.
Can I achieve this all with Time Machine ie. can another Mac read the backed-up data from another Mac?

MacBook Air :: Completely No CPU Throttling At All?
Nov 1, 2010There have been many brief posts mentioning that unlike previous MBAs, the new MBAs do not slow down the CPU when heat goes beyond a certain point. Does this mean there is completely no CPU throttling at all? Or that it still throttles, but at a higher heat level? If there is completely no CPU throttling, then logically it should fall back to another common method of handling overheating which is to automatically turn off the machine (not a very elegant method, but at least it's something). Do the new MBAs do this? If not, how do they handle overheating?
OS X :: Is It Possible To Hide Dock Completely
Dec 5, 2010I wonder if it is possible to hide the Dock completely. If you go to Dock settings and hide it, it will appear when the cursor near its edge. What I want, is to hide it completely - dont want it to appear all of a sudden and interrupt me. I found the app Dock Gone, which hides the Dock and makes it accessible via a keyboard-shortcut. Thing is, it costs $14.95, and I just want the dock to disappear.
Is there a way to do this? A terminal command or something? I guess there must be - Dock Gone is doing it somehow.

PowerPC :: G4 Won't Completely Boot Up
Aug 28, 2006I opened up Garageband, went into preferences to configure the audio for my peripheral audio device, and the computer and curser locked up, so I had to shut it down by pressing the power button for 4 seconds. I restarted the G4 and it would only boot up to a blue screen with the pointer curser, but would not finish loading anything on the desktop, no icons, no menu, nothing. I tried restarting repeatedly this way, but got the same result each time.

1.75 GB DDR SDRAM
And I would like to know how to completely powerclean my computer, I know that most of the things you delete or visit somewhere on the internet, or messenger conversations still get stored somewhere inside your computer, but not possible to find or simply delete. I want my computer to be faster etc. again because sometimes it's getting a little slower than it used to be. Also I maybe want to sell it, so I thought this would be useful then. I don't want to reinstall mac OS X again, because i have many important files, photos, memories, ... etc. on my computer and I am too lazy to make a huge backup. Any good free downloadable software that deletes all the hidden files, messenger history, caches, deleted files, etc.

He deleted my user and saved my files on his side.
I want my pictures and things but I dont have to have them

OS X :: Completely Removing Applications
Oct 8, 2009I want to completely remove final cut studio from my machine before I install Logic Studio. I used App Cleaner and then emptied the trash.
But still, when i put in the Logic install disc, it says it detects an install of Final Cut Studio 2 or older.......
And in software update it still has updates for final cut. But with the application being removed it shouldn't try to upgrade it right?
What else do I need to do to get everything off my machine?

So I've made the jump, Leapord to Lion, and Lion is pretty sweet for the most part. One thing that is more than annoying is the fact that Wine/X11 don't work. And when they do, it's pitiful. I have some games that I had been playing via Wine/X11 on Leapord problem free, but whenever I try to start something with wine (via terminal) it get's all funky. X11 starts coming on, it bounces, stops, and an error report pops up. Repeat, over and over. Doesn't stop until I restart. Can't force quit. And of course it doesn't open up my programs/games. I used this guide (http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/) and followed it TO THE LETTER. Did everything in it. So can anyone help me? Like I say, using OS X 10.7 Thanks in advance.
