If you have a very long line, unterminated, you may also get reflections (ghosts) back down the line.

Preview is a viewer application for a number of formats, including PDF. As such you could delete it and not lose OS functionality.
Quicktime Playeris an application and could be deleted. However, Quicktime, overall, is comprised of a suite of many libraries files and extensions that live in the System folder and as such should not be casually tampered with.

Not clear as to why you’d really want to delete either of those things, though.

Did a quick “otutilitylib” search (www.google.com/mac.html is your friend). There is an Apple doc https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24960 that at least explains the situation and offers a couple of procedures to deal with it.

Can you boot up from the CD copy? Just curious.

[David Miller] ” the cd is a burned copey but when i scaned the cd its saying ita all good working good”

If your “burned copey” is from a CD that came along with a specific model computer, the original CD may only properly install on that machine.

What kind of “scan” tells you it’s “working good” as an install CD?

Is your copy a full OS install or just an updater? Both kinds were sold by Apple.

Get ahold of a general retail version of the legal install CD. Available cheaply on ebay and from many online Mac dealers.
Bet it will work just fine.

“Someone” gave you bad advice. OS X 10.3.x can read but not write to NTFS-formatted volumes.
If you’re using the drive with a Mac and Mac apps, format HFS+ journaled, as with any Mac drive.
If you have a Windows box you have to share the drive with, use MacDrive on it, as suggested earlier.

[Michael D. Brown] “If needed, run these through a Photoshop batch process to shrink them into safe title, and slow down screaming colors.
“
The usual problem encountered with PPT slides not intended for video use is, in addition to no bleed for title safe area,
the tendency of PPT composers to want to cram as much type on a frame as possible. Projected on a large screen with a
good data projector, they can (Lord forgive me for saying this) look OK. Squeezed through the low-rez medium we work in, typical small type and serif fonts usually turns into little balls of fuzz, and everyone complains how bad they look (and can you “enhance” them?). Usually helps if possible to work with the graphic artist to make sure good, clear typefaces are used, optimal use of color and color contrast as viewed on a video monitor, no type smaller than 20 or 24 point, not too many lines of copy on screen at a time. This often means making 2 or 3 or more slides for video out of one original PPT presentation slide, but they’ll be readable on the DVD or VHS dubs!
