Hi all, I was hoping to rip the dvd/cdrw out of my pc and drop it into a firewire enclosure and use it on my powerbook. I did a search and found that some success has been had so i thought I would ask... Which enclosure would anyone recommend for my Ricoh IDE DVD/CDR-W... and where might...

Mac OSX is a flavor of unix and security is built right into the filesystem... If you want to grant access to a file only to yourself the set the permissions like so... Open a terminal window... type either... chmod 700 /path/to/folder ---- for directories chmod 600 /path/to/file...

10.2 does have cups installed and can print to windows shared printers...However...it all depends on what sort of printer it is, and whether or not your winbox has LPD printing enabled. I have 2 printers being hosted by my WinXP PC. One is connected via Parallel port and the other is...

In almost every folder, there is a hidden file called .DS_Store. For some reason(I have no idea why) this file gets muddled up and the OS either can't or won't write the current icons locations or Folder views properly. The only way i have figured out how to fix this is to delete the .DS_Store...

Try Timbuktu... it works on PC's and Mac's and does remote desktop and file transferring. I don't use it, but my friend does and he swears by it. VNC is nice when you are trying to remotely see a UNIX desktop as in FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris... but if you are only interested in Mac to Mac, or...

None of those options will work for you under MacOSX. One thing that would have been nice is if Apple would have included FreeBSD's Linux emulation when they borrowed the rest of the distribution. then you could have used Linux version, but unless you install some sort of Linux on another...

Let me get this straight.. you have two isp's and two ethernet cards. Are you connected via ethernet to both of these isp's? Clue us in how how your server is supposed to connect to the upstream isp's. The flaw I see in your logic is that you think the enet cards are doing the routing...

Instead of wiping everything, I tried the upgrade option, and it worked flawlessly. I was prepared to do a wipe/install if all did not go well, but as it turns out... there was no need. Photoshop, office x, Dreamweaver all seem to work still. My only noticable problem so far is that that I...

more on what these shareware apps do. Lauchbar is pretty self explanatory but I am not familiar with the others. I am one of the switchers, but I did it just before the ads started appearing. I have been a Windows user for quite some time as well as FreeBSD. I harbor many ill feelings to...

My reply was neutral as I think it lacks some functionality... While I know there are 3rd party apps that make use of virtual desktops, I feel apple should write one. To me, Aqua is nothing more than a glorified window manager, for those people that are accustomed to a unix like interface, this...

Give system manager a try. It has a cpu, network, os9, vm, load meters... I like it alot. Its written by Jeff Parsons and I think I got it at version tracker, but if you can't find it there, I will post the url.

I wonder why I can't see it. I ran it manually too and nothing...hmmm any ideas? All is shows me are the uninstalled language updates that I never install.

Well, I have an ISDN line into my house... its 128k up and down which equates to about 14Kbps. I pay the phone company about $75/month for it... Normally I would have to pay my ISP too, but my best friend owns it so I don't have to pay them. If I could get DSL or cable access I would jump...

that you do need to do this... While I am by no means a mysql guru, I have gotten several web/php based things running by doing so. Give it a try, if it doesn't work you can simply revoke the permissions you just granted using the revoke command command.

1. Make sure that php knows the path to your scriptfile and mysql executable. 2. Make sure that your database has proper priveleges granted to the www user. Like so... do this with ./mysql GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER ON macimage.* TO...

but considered the hassle and opted to go with the less secure telnetd just so I wouldn't have to bother. While I have way more experience with FreeBSD(and the source code is right there) doing it with MacOSX seemed a bit more daunting so I opted to chance it... its not like my mac is a...

just a text file with SQL commands in it? Basically, with the command line argument you are using, it would try to open your scriptfile and feed it into mysql and if its not some sort of sql, it wouldn't work. I guess it would help if you tell us what this script is supposed to do.

Do what Baur said to enable telnetd. There are times when it is necessary...like from work where the ssh port in their firewall isn't open to you and the telnet port is. That being said... let me ask you another question? When you say you want to run a Mac OSX application remotely... do...

your hardware is misconfigured. Your modem should still show up in your system configuration. Perhaps you need to take a look at the drivers, and IRQ settings of both the nic card and the modem. Dollars to doughnuts, one is stepping on the other. On a side note... I don't have an airport...

Are you using the crontab -e command to add a cron job? Perhaps its running, but something is wrong with the permissions of the file you trying to write to, or the directory for that matter. Add a personal crontab instead of altering the system's. Generally its easier, and you won't have to...
