Wow, I believe I just hosed myself up as well. I used to have a .bash_profile in which I exported a couple of things. I just finished installing MySql and added the path to the it in the profile. Long story short, I can't issue an "ls" command, I can't issue a "vi" command. This is what my...

Yes, the PC and the MacBook Pro are both on the same subnet. The MacBook is obtaining an IP address via DHCP from the router that the PC is connected to via a ethernet cable.

I am sorry for not giving all of the details. The printer in question is an HP 1100. As for the Mac's both are running Snow Leopard. But I still don't understand why the "Add" button would be grayed out on the MacBook Pro.

Sorry also jump in but I have a similar situation. My brother is running an windows machine running XP Pro with a parallel port HP Laserjet printer that he has shared out. My nephew has a MacBook Pro and he wants to be able to print to that same printer. I went to the system preferences and...

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to wait until the time that the new version of MySql comes out for Snow Leopard. Hopefully by then I will have been able to remove this version and all of it's tentacles.

I performed all of the steps as they appear. I then attempted to install MySql again and I still get the same error stating that it is already installed.

I am trying to install MySQL on a MacBook running 10.6. When I try to install the software I get a message stating that an older version is already running. I thought I had removed the old version an in fact I can't find any file that belongs to MySQL. When I look at "Applications" there is...

Hello, I would like to set a profile when I open a "Terminal" session so as to have some aliases available to me. For now, I have been typing in the commands when I open the terminal session but I know that there is a way to have them available as soon as the terminal session is opened. TIA...

I have Linux experience and I am trying to find out what is the name of the file that executes when you start up a "Terminal" session to set your profile. I would like to set several "aliases" automatically whenever I start a terminal session. I know there has to be a way of doing this but I...

I believe the folder was empty as I did issue the 'ls -al' command and all that came back was '..' and '.'. I did not see the '.DS_STORE' file.

Duh, what a dummy. I never even thought about that. Thanks that did the trick. I still don't know what was preventing me from deleting the folder in the first place since the folder appeared to be be empty. Regardless, thank you again for the advice. That did the trick.

I have a NAS system at home and I created a folder using the Mac. The particulars for the folder are as follows: drwx------ 1 javier_s5 staff 16384 Dec 30 11:10 Picture_Frame_old The folder is empty, however when I try to delete the folder via the gui, I get a message that says the...

Thank you. I was working with a terminal and I happen to notice the file permissions and did not know what that character meant. I am sure I had seen it before, I just didn't pay attention to it. Javier

I am sort of new to the Mac, but I have worked on Unix as well as Linux. Last night I purchased a new song from iTunes store and I could not down load it. I was getting an error. Long story short, I store all my music on an NAS box, and I was logged into that NAS as the root instead of my...

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a MacBook running OS X 10.5.6. I just installed MySQL (version MySQL 5.1.30-ndb-6.3.20-cluster-gpl) on it and I was trying to create a new database within it. However, I am told I do not have the necessary privileges to do this. The message goes...

Thanks for the hint. I used the "Connect" to server command and fed it the IP address. It asked me for my user id and password and I was in. Thank a million! Javier

It supports FTP, SMB, CIFS, as well as NFS Network protocol. The box in question is from the Promise Technology Inc model number NS4300n. It is connected via an ethernet cable to my Linksys wireless router. Javier

I have NAS box that I want to use to store my iTunes music. Even though I know the IP address to the NAS, I always have issues trying to connect to it from my mac running OS X 10.5.4. The only way that I have been able to find and connect to is is when one of my Windows machines is turned on...

Thank you. When I first bought the laptop, I read something about "right-clicking" but since I had no need for it I did not pursue it. Now that I saw that I needed it to access the dictionary I figured I would look into it. Thanks again.

I just received a message from Apple in which they mention that you can access the built in dictionary by doing a "right-click". Only problem is that since I am new to this operating system I do not know how to do a "right-click". Can anyone help me? I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.2. TIA
