Hi there, My MacBook Pro is my primary machine and I'd like to back it up automatically so that if the hardware fails, I can reboot another mac from a clone of the system. I bought a 500Gb Firewire drive, and am wondering if anyone can give me suggestions for how to proceed. I was...

I *think* the permissions were set with the finder.. sorry, I don't know what an access control list is.. ( i just googled ACL ) A company tech that has remote access to the server set the permissions for me.. I don't want the folders inside the top level folders to be read-only.. i want them...

Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate help with this because as is, Windows users that connect to my Mac OS X Server (10.4) can delete entire directories in a folder that should be read-only. Basically, the folder structure is this: username is "rtdb" when the user logs in and mounts...

thanks guys.. the connection is SUPER stable and fast, but the other machine is a server and I'm not an admin... I actually seem to be having some luck with the Finder right now.. fingers crossed... One other question.. is there a way to chage the permissions of a folder so that even you...

Hi there, I need to copy about 30,000 important files over a network. I tried using the Finder and it says there were some that could not be copied. I tried using cp recursive and I got a lot of "resource is busy", yet, I was able to open the file in question and there seemed to be no...

Hi there, I have a machine I am considering upgrading to 10.4 Server unlimited. Because of custom web, PHP 5, Zend Optimizer, MySQL applications, and currently working PHP/MySQL installations, I'd rather not do a fresh install of 10.4 Server and then be forced to re-configure everything...

Hi, I have an important machine at my job that several Mac and PC users have to connect to. In fact they are connecting already. In total, there are about 12 Mac Users and 12 PC users, but that number will grow. The nature of the connection is a permanent one... PCs map to the drive on...

Hi there, I have a new MacBook Pro that I want to use connected to a large monitor at work. While sleeping with the lid closed, I plug in a Mac USB keyboard and mouse, DVI cable, ethernet cable and power cord, then press the keyboard... sometimes it wakes up and sometimes it doesn't...

Hi there, I have Vine server running this weekend, and it became unresponsive. Is there any way I can reboot such a machine remotely when the Vine Server is not responding? The machine wasn't crashed. I was able to access it via other methods-- http:, afp:, etc. i.e. are there any...

No, I did enable that and rebooted. So I think I'm good in that respect. Could there be another reason. Note, I've noticed this sort of activity on other Macs running Chicken of the VNC connecting to OSXVNC/Vine... sometimes it seems that if I reboot the client machine (COVNC), then it will...

the only issue I'm having with Vine Server and Chicken of the VNC is that I lose the connection on User Account Logout. I can then reconnect.. I don't have the server set to automatically terminate on a fast user switch.. any ideas why I get disconnected?

Does the Mac's "Remote Desktop" sharing "Allow VNC Connections" preference conflict with Vine Server? Does it have to be enabled ?

Hi, Can someone please tell me what the end all end all is of VNC reliability for controlling both Mac and PC machines from Macs? Chicken of VNC ???---> Mac OS X native ? OS X (Vine) Server ?

I seem to have fixed the problem.. but if someone could tell me WHAT was going on, please let me know. I repaired permissions... that did nothing.. then downloaded OnyX and optimized the system (complete optimization), restarted, and voila, now the computer works as it should and feels...

Hi there, I have a new MacBook Pro 2.4 with 2Gb of RAM. Weirdly, the UI is sluggish. When I try to drag an application window, the window doesn't move immediately but moves about a full second after I perform the drag. Other things.. like typing or application processes do not seem...

sweet.. thanks.. all I had to do was rename the new home folder , change the old home folder's name to what the new folder WAS named (*), then log out, and back in with the new name which actually points to the original home folder.

THE TRUTH COMES OUT... I found out what caused this.. My wife wanted to change her username on her computer... so guess how she did this ??? She went to the home folder, got info on it, and changed her name there. When she turns on the computer, she is only offered one account to log into...

The files and folders in my wife's desktop and iphoto library are gone (and missing from the Photos folder).. I've launched her into target disk mode and am running Data Rescue.. it's not done scanning yet... but, I've never seen anything like this in my several years using a Mac...

I wanted to do a test upgrade of a machine to 10.4, so I cloned the system to a Firewire drive. The firewire and my main volume had the same volume name: STARTUP After successfully testing the upgrade to 10.4 on the Firewire drive, I disconnected the Firewire drive and installed Tiger on...

Hi folks, I just upgraded a 10.3 machine to 10.4. After the upgrade, the PHP installation prevented a certain PHP application from running properly... I have a mess now.. I've had PHP4, PHP5, and Zend Optimizer version 2, 3.0 and 3.2.8 installed.. I'm confused about a few things.. first...
