    Other Finder peculiarities with resource-fork icons (ICNS) rendering in Leopard, when ICNS are created/pasted in at least High Sierra

    The title I’m starting here isn’t very helpful and is also kind of vague, so I’ll try to describe here what the title can’t, along with a bit of background. Some background on why I’m posting: For many years, I’ve maintained an archival library of music on which I’ve been curating since about...

    Is there a way to confirm or unregister an OS X Server Serial Number?

    I'm not finding much about this and wanted to see if anyone here know: I have a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Server with a serial number. The Xserve that it was installed on originally is wiped and long done (it was sold with a standard/client version of a later OS X 10.13 on it). Someone wants to buy...

    Has Apple rewritten macOS aka OS X since its existence?

    Just a curious thought that popped into my head. I probably should have reached out to Steven Troughton-Smith but thought I would ask here. Does anyone know if Apple has rewritten the macOS code base since OS X was introduced in March of 2001? I know they have deprecated technologies and...

    Anyone know the latest version of OS X this Mac can install?

    Hi there. I hope someone can help. Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have a Late 2008 iMac, which I have fished out the loft. Its horrendously slow (because of the HDD I reckon) I plan on giving it a clean and booting it off a external SSD to (hopefully) speed it up. Before being put in...

    Screencapture filename options for adding SQL-style date/time strings, pre-10.6?

    I gather from searching around that the answer amounts to “not possible”: From SL onward, the default file name for screencapture is “Screen shot YYYY-MM-DD at HH:mm:ss.[format]”. Pre-SL, the default file name was “Picture [x].[format]”, where “x” was a sequential digit. In Tiger or Leopard...
