Odds and Ends: DVD Player 3.1.1 Installation; Word v.X
DVD Player 3.1.1 installation Chris Boughton notes a restriction on installation of DVD Player 3.1.1 that prevents function of a valid feature:
"One of the new features of DVD 3.1.1 is the ability to read Video_TS files on a local volume and play them. So I can rip DVDs on my Power Mac G4 Cube, transfer them to my Titanium PowerBook and watch them when travelling. However, I can't install DVD Player 3.1.1 on the PowerBook because the install process says, correctly, that there isn't a DVD drive on the machine. Catch-22. What's strange is that DVD Player 3.0 is already in the Applications folder from the original OS X install."
Word v.X bullets Scott Rose reports a bug in Word v.X's rendering of PDF files.
"There is a bug in Microsoft Word v.X when trying to print a document as a PDF file -- if that document includes "automatic bulleting" anywhere within the document. The automatically-inserted bullets will not appear in the PDF file; empty space will appear instead. Switching the list within the document to "automatic numbering" instead of "automatic bulleting" works: the numbers will appear on the resulting PDF file."
UPDATE: Jonathan Lundell notes that users can also choose a difference bullet style (for instance, square bullets) via Format->Bullets and Numbering in order to work around this bug.
Apple ADC to DVI Adapter Noise Apple has posted a Knowledge Base article (#75319) describing an issue where the Apple ADC to DVI Adapter produces a low volume high-pitch noise which can be clearly heard. Apple tech support officials say:
"When the Apple ADC to DVI adapter is plugged into an AC outlet and the monitor is in sleep mode or off, you may hear a low-level, high-pitch noise coming from the adapter. It is normal for you to hear the high-pitch noise when the monitor is in sleep mode or shut down. However, if this high-pitch noise is heard after the computer starts-up, or after waking from sleep, contact Apple support."
