Murlyn · Dec 13, 2004

I don't think Im going to catch up with the 1st place person even with my new G5

PowerBookG4 · Jan 16, 2005

I am going to join, but i really don't know what it is. Going to do it now, just letting you know.

PowerBookG4 · Jan 16, 2005

ok i am signed up, don't understand what you mean by what place you are in... ok i am not understanding why my progress has not gone up what so ever... i am going to leave it on... see what happens

Murlyn · Jan 17, 2005

It might take awhile

Make sure you put our team number in!

MacAddikt · Jan 17, 2005

i started when the team first formed and forgot about it til last week. been running the CLI app for the last 3-4 days now

Man you guys should merge with Team Mac OS X (1971) :dive:, its the biggest mac team and I already fold for them..., though I'm not sure how you would merge teams???. I'm mainly saying this because if we all team together we could eventually have the top ranking team being a mac team, wich would make a lot of pc powerusers consider switching, and thats why I chose to fold for the biggest mac team, sorry bout rant.

ok now i have a little question, my progress bar does not go up, how long does this take to start moving. I am running a powerbook G4 1.5 ghz and 1 gig ram

schweb · Jan 17, 2005

It could take a few hours to a few days to a few weeks to process a work unit depending on the size and complexity of the unit and also what else you're doing on your computer while it's processing.

Murlyn · Jan 17, 2005

does it at least say 0%?

PowerBookG4 · Jan 17, 2005

yeah it says .25 percent now... it eventually started moving.. will it continue where it left off it i turn the computer off... i don't want to leave my pb on all the time.. not sure if it is good for it

Murlyn · Jan 17, 2005

yeah it'll continue where you left off, if you start it again or add it to your startup items.. otherwise you'll need to manually start it once you turn the computer back on and then it'll startup where it stopped.

PowerBookG4 · Jan 17, 2005

Thanks for you help so far with this, but i am new to macs just started using them becaue my school was using final cut pro hd and preivously i was using adobe premiere so i switched. I do not know how to put something into my start up items

PowerBookG4 · Jan 17, 2005

never mind i think i got it... is it a folder system/library/startupitems and then i just drop the icon in that folder?

schweb · Jan 17, 2005

The way to do it is to goto the Accounts Preference Pane in system preferences. Find your account, click the startup tab and add it to that list.

PowerBookG4 · Jan 17, 2005

thank you, so simple, yet didnt' think of it, it is going to take me a month or to to get use to all the funtions of osx...... THIS TEAM IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD WITH ALL THESE MACS PERFORMING THE FUNTIONS.

Macman · Jan 17, 2005
