  • Device Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Device Manager 1 This chapter describes how your application can use the Device Manager to transfer information into and out of a Macintosh computer. The Device Manager controls the 1 exchange of information between applications and hardware devices. Manager Device This chapter provides a brief introduction to devices and device drivers (the programs that control devices) and then explains how you can use the Device Manager functions to ■ open, close, and exchange information with device drivers ■ write your own device driver that can communicate with the Device Manager ■ provide a user interface for your device driver by making it a Chooser extension or desk accessory. You should read the sections “About the Device Manager” and “Using the Device Manager” if your application needs to use the Device Manager to communicate with a device driver. Applications often communicate with the Device Manager indirectly, by calling functions of other managers (for example, the File Manager) that use the Device Manager. However, sometimes applications must call Device Manager functions directly. The sections “Writing a Device Driver,” “Writing a Chooser-Compatible Device Driver,” and “Writing a Desk Accessory,” provide information you’ll need if you are writing your own device driver. If you writing a device driver, you should understand how memory is organized and allocated in Macintosh computers. See Inside Macintosh: Memory, for this information. You should also be familiar with resources and how the system searches resource files. You can find this information in the chapter “Resource Manager” in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox. If your device driver is to perform background tasks, you’ll need to understand how processes are scheduled.

  • Mac OS X: an Introduction for Support Providers
    Mac OS X: An Introduction for Support Providers Course Information Purpose of Course Mac OS X is the next-generation Macintosh operating system, utilizing a highly robust UNIX core with a brand new simplified user experience. It is the first successful attempt to provide a fully-functional graphical user experience in such an implementation without requiring the user to know or understand UNIX. This course is designed to provide a theoretical foundation for support providers seeking to provide user support for Mac OS X. It assumes the student has performed this role for Mac OS 9, and seeks to ground the student in Mac OS X using Mac OS 9 terms and concepts. Author: Robert Dorsett, manager, AppleCare Product Training & Readiness. Module Length: 2 hours Audience: Phone support, Apple Solutions Experts, Service Providers. Prerequisites: Experience supporting Mac OS 9 Course map: Operating Systems 101 Mac OS 9 and Cooperative Multitasking Mac OS X: Pre-emptive Multitasking and Protected Memory.

  • Assignment 4 Handout
    CS 377A a Programming Approach to HCI Borchers - Spring 2002 May 2, 2002 Assignment #4 Due: Wednesday, May 8 2002 by noon The idea in this assignment is to give you a chance to explore Macintosh Toolbox programming a bit. It will be useful to you to know how the Mac Toolbox works and what it provides in order to compare and contrast it to utilities provided on other platforms. The idea with assignment 4 is not to give you a long, complicated project that will take a lot of time – so enjoy! In this assignment you should implement a small application of your own choosing. It can be similar to the color-chooser application that you implemented for assignment 3, or you can invent some other interesting application of similar scope. Look at the functionality provided by the Macintosh Toolbox for ideas for other features you can include. Some ideas are: Ø sound Ø menus Ø other controls On the materials page we have linked the electronic version of the book “Learning C on the Macintosh 1.2”. The first few chapters should be the most interesting and useful with respect to this assignment. In addition, we have provided the sample applications from the first two chapters. (the versions that come with the book don’t quite compile as-is, so please download the archives on the course webpage) The sample apps we have compiled are: Ø SysMemRes: Loads PICT and string resources and draws them into a window. Ø LowEvents: Outputs a continuous monitor of low-level and Operating System events If you want to compile and try out more of the sample applications from the book, email David and Jan for advice on how to make them work: [email protected] You should experiment with using ResEdit to change the resource for your application.

    1 Introduction About This Book This book explains how to install the Korean Language Kit. You will also learn how to designate which of your application programs should be opened in Korean, and how to use the new control panels and menus the kit adds to your system software. The Macintosh Korean Input Method Guide, the other book that came with your kit, explains how to use the Power Input Method for entering Korean characters from your keyboard. A 1 Here’s how to use this book and the Macintosh Korean Input Method Guide: 1 Install the Korean Language Kit. Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of this book to install your kit. 2Display Korean file and folder names correctly. Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of this book to adjust the Views control panel so you can read your Korean filenames. 3Display Korean menus correctly in your Korean application programs.

  • Chapter 3: System Software
    75 System 3 Software When you first buy a computer, it’s the hardware that gets all the attention. But what really makes the Mac what it is—an easy-to-use and highly customizable personal computer—is the system software. The system software creates the desktop, lets you organize your files in folders, and gives you capabilities—such as cutting and pasting text and graphics—that work in virtually any Mac program. In this chapter, we describe the basic components of the Mac system soft- ware. You’ll also find advice on system software installation and modification. 76 Chapter 3: System Software Contributors Contents Sharon Zardetto The Operating System.....................................................77 Aker (SZA) is the chapter editor.
