    SMB and WinXP

    Does smb work out of the box with WinXP. I was able to connect to my WinXp box using smb://MSHOME;jason@192.168.1.100/MyDocuments when I had the Dave 3.1 beta installed. I also connected to my NT network at work using smb://hcpd/hc1 Problem is ever since removing the beta of...

    iPod & iTunes 2

    iPod does nothing for me personally, but I am sure many folks will love it. I believe it should sell well. I am more interested in iTunes. MacMinute reported the following. Does that last line mean we can burn directly from iTunes, and that the new version will have an EQ. If so...

    iBook disaster....

    I am extremely happy to report that the Glendale Apple store folks were very helpful. It appears that the HD did actually fail :( , but Apple will be replacing the drive at no charge. I should have my baby back in 5-7 days. In the mean time I will be on a formatted Windows box with a freshly...

    iBook disaster....

    So here is my scheme: 2.5 GB Partition with OS9.2.1 7.5 GB Partition with OSX.1 Everything is smooth as butter since my purchase of the icebook on August 4. All hell breaks loose last night. I fire up Transmit my FTP client to upload some html files to my webpage, but the system...

    Installing OS X 10.1 ... bleeding from my ears!

    From Apple.... 1. Log in to Mac OS X as an Admin user. 2. Open the Terminal utility. 3. Type: sudo rm -rf /Users/shortname\ deleted  Important: Where the example says "shortname," you would insert the former user's short name, which is the name (preceding "Deleted") on the Home...

    RealPlayer support

    Real Player 8 Plus works for me under classic. Why yours is greyed out I have no idea. It is possible to run though, because I use it quite often. Sorry I can't be helpful!

    10.1 Speed Not Acceptable

    The speed difference I experienced on my icebook was phenomenal after I did a clean install. The upgrad just did not cut it. The one thing I will agree with that Mind Bend mentioned was resizeing windows. Finder resizing is smooth as silk for me, but IE it a bitch. I too can grab a bite to...

    Why isn't there right-click in OS X yet?

    Is a two button with a wheel that works just fine. Why wait for Apple to design a mouse when there are hundreds on the market that already available. If you are that obsessed with Apple that you will only accept a multi-button mouse blessed by Steve, then I would argue that you don't really...

    What if share name has a space in it...

    Any thoughts on the spacing issue. Is this a flaw with smb that will require a fix from apple. Or is there some type of obvious work around that I am missing. Thanks for the info about the printing, Jason

    What if share name has a space in it...

    i.e. I have two printers located at /servername/hp4m/ /servername/hp/ When I use the smb://domain;login@servername/hp4m/ command and attempt to connect I get the"no shared file system" error. Well a printer is not a file system but I would still expect to be able to share the printer...

    What if share name has a space in it...

    OK, so I can mount smb://hc1/apps/ no problem using 10.1 over a NT4 network. I have tried smb://hc1/hchc%20data/ where %20 represents the space in the sharename but this is not working out. Has anyone else ran into this type of an issue. If so what did you do about, aside from renaming...

    Weird Gimp problem?

    When running the Gimp in X-Free86 rootless the pointer disapears behind the picture window which make the Gimp useless. Has anyone figured out how to correct this problem. Under fullscree mode the Gimp does not have this problem. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason

    OpenOffice

    http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ In it's current state I don't think it is ready for the average consumer. If you are a developer, I say go for it, fix it up for the rest of us. Jason From the above page under what still needs to be done: As of the OO638C release tag, about half...

    can't get top to work

    have you considered a clean reinstall. I would suggest this to everyone. Not only will you have a clean system without any 10.0.4 remnants, but it should speed things up quite a bit. My icebook jump in speed considerably when I did a clean reinstall as compared to a simple update. I am...

    If 10.1 performance sucks for you...

    I too have the new iBook. 10.1 was actually pretty nice before the clean install, but after the clean install it actually jump quit a bit. In regards to apache, mysql and such, I would suggest using fink as well. Under 10.0.4 the entire Fink process took me about a day. I formatted my...

    burning a disk image?

    By the way, it took me about an hour to figure this out as well after trying Toast under X, Toast under 9 and Disk Copy 6.5b11 under 9. It did not occur to me that good ole Disk Copy on X would do the trick until after several reboots. :D

    iMac Strawberry....

    My friend has a 2nd Generaton iMac Strawberry (not the very first model, but 2nd) and upped his ram to full capacity. Does anyone know if such a setup is capable of running OSX.1? I know you need 128MB ram to run X, but I did not know what maxed out for that system meant. I am sure there is...

    burning a disk image?

    Open up Disc Copy and select Burn Image from the Image menu, it will ask you to locate the .dmg file, once you have selected the file it will ask for a blank CD-R. Pop one in and twenty minutes later or so you should have a clean copy of the Dev Tools on disk. Did this exact procedure last...

    Finder Issues.... What's Going On!!

    1) When I click on the Finder icon in the dock it immediately opens a finder window regardless if another application is the active app. In 10.0.4 if I had a finder window already open, and I hit the dockling again, it would open a second finder window. This does not seem to be the case in...
