How to set mac shortcuts (for mac and windows OS)

i am having a bit of an issue.
i run windows 7 and mac os on the same computer on different hard drives in this computer. i also have a "mac" keyboard. i am not sure how this may be different from a "windows keyboard" but the point is i need to use this keyboard because it matches the one on my laptop which is a mac.
when i switch to windows on this machine i always end up deleting information because the CMD + X and CMD + V cut and paste shortcuts on Mac OS are not the same in windows. windows requires (currently) CTRL + X and CTRL + V. so when i got to cut and paste in windows CTRL + X (this is my habitual way of working) and then i run a CTRL + V i end up writing /over/ the text i selected with a "x" and i end up pasting /over/ the text i selected to paste over with a "v". this is because instead of running a cut and paste, this set of shortcuts in windows simply enters "x" and "y" respectively since the shortcut is not active.
does anyone know where i set these in windows OS and in mac OS?
also, does anyone know if it is possible to set how many UNDOS i can do in either of these OS's or to know how many i can in fact undo?
THANKS
long story background:
1. while i may move to a windows keyboard on the computer i am using (because the mac keyboards these days end up losing keys and they end up very wobbly) i cannot do this for the laptop machine so this may not make a lot of sense if i end up also running windows on the laptop which is my intention at some point.
2. CTRL + X is a very long stretch on the mac keyboard so rather than switching mac shortcuts to accommodate windows shortcuts i am thinking to switch windows shortcuts to mac ATM.
3. this is no small issue! i just went to copy and paste this text so i could save it for myself in order to explain to someone else and i ended up overwriting with a "c". if i had not thought fast and remembered to UNDO by hitting CTRL - X and not CMD - X i might have lost all my work.

long delay - no email of your post here
I also realise that you can use system preferences - Keyboard - modifier keys to make cmd = ctrl or vice versa
I'd surely ask/read elsewhere about altering windows, given the reach issue - but no qualms beyond confusion if switching/using other machines. You might soon find you switch layouts mentally, quite easily.

Ctrl-Tab shortcut for Mac?

In GoLive on Windows, you could easily switch between the windows in GoLive by using Ctrl-Tab (aka "Show Next Window in Workspace" or similar in GL9 on Windows). This doesn't work in the OS X version, so what I am wondering is if there is some way to reproduce this behaviour in OS X.
Recently converted to a Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.2, so if there is a built-in keyboard shortcut for this, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Go to System Preferences (in the Apple menu) and choose International. There choose Input Menu. At the bottom of the dialog you find a button called Keyboard Shortcuts. There you will find the most commoon once that are universal for all apps. Cmd+< takes you between open windows in active application (if you have a US keyboard layout).

Apple releases Java update for Mac OS X Tiger

Apple released J2SE 5.0 Release 4 on Tuesday, an update for Mac OS X 10.4.5 Tiger users. According to notes provided with the update the release delivers improved reliability and compatibility for the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. With today's release J2SE 5.0 becomes the preferred Java version, superseding Java 1.4.2. Apple notes that Java 1.4.2 is still installed on the machine, but applications will run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2. The update is available as a download from Apple's Web site
or via the Software Update mechanism in Mac OS X.

When I go to the DOWNLOADS Section of the Apple Support page and find the Java update, I see "(PPC)" next to it. Does that mean anything?

You don't necessarily need netcfg to get networking. But I used it before for my wireless on my laptop, so I just used the same on my desktop too. Also if you want to do things like this its easier rather than have to go digging around with macspoof and what not. your netcfg eth0 file could be something like
PRE_UP='ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='dhcp'
If you use a different interface then obviously, you need to change it accordingly

N95 Software Updater for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopar...

Hi Guys,
I am posting this in preparation for potentially migrating from a Windows PC to a Mac.
I have just got an N95 on T-Mobile, which is fully up to date. Currently, at the moment I have a laptop running Windows XP but I am considering moving to a Max OX Leopard MacBook in a couple of months and I wondering whether there is a "Software Updater" application for Mac OS X?
I am very interested to gain a full understanding of the Mac OS X compatibility. So I'd be very interested to hear anything.
Many thanks in advance.
Neil

This infuriates me! The non-microsoft users will remember how you treated us, Nokia. You can make things work cross platform or at least with Wine. This is inexcusable.
i'm a mac user.
before that i was a linux user.

i haven't been a windows user since 1998.
and i dont blame nokia at all for not providing a mac tool to update firmware on our phones.
have you ever updated the firmware on ANYTHING before? no? let me give you the run-down:
1. motherboards. they used to provide DOS boot floppies to update motherboard bios, but these days it's invariably a windows gui tool. yeah - when that change happened all i could think was "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont bluescreen on me"!!!. but, thats the world today - so if you want to update the bios on your linux box, you'd better have a windows drive to boot from.
2. DVD/CD drives. again, windows gui tools - but with a higher percentage of exceptions. in some RARE cases you can even do it from linux.
3. mobile phones. well? i've never had a phone before with firmware updates even AVAILABLE. it used to be that you could tell a good motherboard manufacturer from a bad one by looking for firmware updates to its top 3 models. if there were only a few, and only for the first year, that company sucked (think Biostar). if they had ongoing support, frequent and adding features worth wanting over several years, that was a good company (think Asus). so where does that leave us? Nokia provides ongoing firmware updates. THANK YOU NOKIA FOR CARING ENOUGH TO DO IT.
yes. thank's are in order - not complaints. they dont sell windows. they dont sell macosx. they dont sell desktop operating systems at all. they sell phones. phones that have software. they provide ongoing support for these phones in the form of firmware updates. they give these updates freely and ensure that for a large portion of their user base that these updates can be installed from home with well tested code. for the rest of us? either take your phone to a nokia service center (i think the closest one to me is a 9 hour drive) or use a windows box. OR JUST KEEP YOUR OLD FIRMWARE, hell nokia isn't compelled to provide new firmware in the first place. the fast that they do is nice, but your phone does what-it-says-on-the-tin. you don't need to use windows at all if you dont want, you just cant update your firmware.
i am so sick of hearing the same tired complaints that "we'll never forgive you nokia" and "you make me switch to a competitor". its all **bleep**. you bought your nokia phone because of the features listed on the box. they are good features. the phone has these features, just as promised. use them and rejoice.
hrmph.
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

Reference book for Mac OS X Tiger

Can anyone recommend a good reference manual that goes beyond being a user guide. I haven't used a Unix machine since University (over 10 years ago) and feel I need a comprehensive guide to the inner workings of Tiger. I might even be tempted back into some software development.
Thank you.

Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach, by Amit Singh
The book "Mac OS X Internals" (ISBN 0321278542) describes the architecture and design of Apple's operating system. The book is targeted at anybody who is curious about Mac OS X and has a system-level interest in operating systems. At a very high (and simplistic) level, I expect this book to appeal to both those who use Mac OS X, and also those who do not.
The primary audience among the existing users of Mac OS X are those who wish to have a deep and solid understanding of the system's composition and working. This category includes power users, developers, and administrators. Based on the feedback I have received from my earlier writings on Mac OS X, even "non-power" Mac users enjoyed my rather technical descriptions of the system. I expect such readers to find several things of interest in the book.
Among those who do not use Mac OS X, many people might be interested in finding out more about it—out of academic curiosity, to broaden their understanding of the design of modern operating systems, or perhaps because they are contemplating "switching" to Mac OS X. This category could be further broken down into the following (possibly overlapping) categories:
The Linux community
Other Unix communities, and possibly people from the Windows community
The academic and research communities
Even people who are anti-Mac, assuming such people would want to read the book to seek potential armament for the rather rampant OS-related religious warfare.
The book's nature is better understood by reading its preface and browsing its table of contents.

HT1343 How about keyboard shortcuts for Mac Book Air, which has a different keyboard?

Mac Book Air has a diffent keyboard layout and some of the shortcuts aren't applicable. Please rectify.

Hi Lanny,
I understant that, but if I complain to Apple on the feedback, nothing will happen for a million years.
Here things are visible to the wide Apple Users and hopefully get sorted.
Apple representatives are welcome to reply and post that the shortkey list is updated to include all the diferent Apple Keyboards.
Thanks,

Hardware requirement for Mac OS X Tiger

Hi,
I'm going to upgrade our lab from Mac OS 9 to Mac OSX Tiger, some of the machines are iMac 350 with USB port only. Just want to know is the 'Built-in FireWire' a MUST to run Mac OSX( from Tech Specification)?
Any help will be appreciated.
Allan

The iMac G3 350 will not run Tiger.
It will run Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.3.9, with the following caveats:
1. First you must upgrade the firmware to version 4.1.9 while you have Mac OS 9 booted on the hard drive (if running 10.2 or later, as I would not run 10.0 through 10.1.5):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
2. Second I would backup your data and upgrade the 9 to 9.2.2 if you intend to use Classic:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288
3. You can choose to network those machines to Mac OS X machines using this method, and not upgrade to Mac OS X:

4. Follow these tips when upgrading:

JPEG file viewer for MAC 10.4 tiger

Hi,
My mac (laptop) doesn't open jpeg files.
Is there anyone who knows which free program I can download to view jpeg files?
Thanks.

If Preview is not opening when you double-click on a jpeg, Get Info on the jpeg file and set Preview to be the default application for viewing jpegs. Click on the Change All button to make all jpegs open with Preview.

Quicken 2006 for mac free with Tiger?

After reinstalling my OS i discovered the following file:
CPU_Quicken.pkg
I installed it and it works, as its the full programm, not trial...
Anybody else is using it?

I use Quicken 2006 on my PPC Mac. I've used different Quicken versions on various Macs since 1995 - well before OS X was introduced and it has always worked well for me.

Missing install DVD for Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1 Server version

Have a client that has a Mac X server that is not booting - stalls at start screen but won't boot to desktop. Problem is they cannot locate their install DVD. How hooped are they? Not on site yet, so haven't tried some of the other boot options, but will in next day. I do have OS X 10.4 Tiger on a laptop, but not the server version, so not sure if using the install disk from that will do anything. Appreciate any direction given this minor information as a starting point.

Excellent news!! Much appreciated.
Have worked in IT tech since '86 and find that, compared to other sources, the most helpful and knowledgeable resource is right here on the Apple Discussions forum.
