OK, so I have an XP box and a powerbook...i have file sharing set up on my xp box, and normally, i can mount it no problem on my powerbook. when i first set it up, i went to go->connect to server->smb://computername. once it was mounted, i dragged the icon from the window down into the dock to...

another positive experience here with OSXVnc and Chicken of the VNC...OSXVnc seems to allow more access from Windows clients, I've found...for some reason, I couldn't really get the Remote Desktop server built into OSX to work with RealVNC or UltraVNC viewers on the Windows side...but OSXVnc...

i know this is an old topic, but did anybody ever find a way to disable the share window from opening every time you login? i'm looking to do the same with my smb share from 10.4.4 to an windows xp pro box. any help would be greatly appreciated!

that is what i thought (on the booting issue). and i know that firewire may never completely disappear...i just hope it's not a situation where they remove it from just the laptops in the future or something. i don't know...apple's definitely not one of those companies that does absolutely...

Hey guys...this is just a general question, really. Can macs (new or old) boot from an external drive that is USB2? I thought I remember seeing something about only being able to boot from firewire, but looking at this new MacBook Pro, it doesn't have a FW800 port on it...and if FW in general...

i picked up this tip from steve gibson's (and leo laporte) podcast, and i've been starting to implement it. think of a password algorythm, of sorts, that changes with each domain name. for instance, you could do: first two letters of domain + birth year + remaining + address...so like...

sweet! thanks.

i think if you want to do realtime streaming, as opposed to progressive, yeah. but i'm not looking to do realtime.

i guess maybe it's under construction?? iiiiii dunno.

so i tried to search for a problem i'm having, and i can't seem to find the search link anymore...am i being a total knob, or has that function been removed? perhaps it's because i haven't posted in a while??

OK so I have this muxed mpeg1 file that i want to put on my webpage and have it stream. So I loaded it into QT Pro, and went to Export Movie to Hinted Movie. Put it up on the site with the embed tags, and.....boooooo, it doesn't stream (i know it's not real "streaming"), but rather waits for...

do you have t-mobile by any chance? there is a good thread on setting up your phone to work via bluetooth without using the *99# over at t-mobile.howardforums.com .... it just uses the t-mobile access points at the "dialup number". Works for me all the time, check it out (if you have...

Hey guys..>I'm trying to set up my jabra bt200 bluetooth headset to work with my mac (osx 10.4.2, 15" powerbook 1.67ghz)...and I can get it to pair, but it won't stay connected for more than a split second. this is a problem i've seen a few people have, looking around on various forums and...

Nope...I actually have no problem making copies of copyrighted, retail video DVDs using the proper software. And to my knowledge, no movies come on 2.6gb DVD media, as it's pretty much first-generation crap. And I know we don't talk about circumventing css here...but I do appreciate the help...

That sounds good...I would have had all this information sooner, but I had to return his DVD. Perhaps I will try again in the future, but I'm actually out of blank DVD's at the moment and waiting for a new shipment to come in. I wouldn't need to do anything special for the DVD? I can just...

yeah i remember having pc laptops and dreading having the damn things go to sleep...it just couldn't happen otherwise i'd spend the next 15 minutes fixing the damn thing after a reboot or two. my powerbook is an extremely welcomed change. welcome to mac!

i just did a disk copy in Toast. If you mean what format the original DVD was in (the 2.6gb), I have no idea, it was my friend's...and it worked in my DVD player, so I'm assuming the original was fine...so I just did a disk copy.

Hey all. I'm having trouble. A friend of mine asked me to make him a copy of a DVD he had...so I stuck it in my drive, loaded up Toast, and proceeded to burn. It copied over, but didn't play in my dvd player. Then I noticed it was a 2.6gb disc he had asked me to copy, and I copied it onto a...

ah great...thanks so much for your help. good to know i'm not going insane...well...completely at least. :)

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a brainfart over here...because I can't seem to figure out how to create a keyboard shortcut to launch a certain application. For instance, if I want to set a keyboard shortcut apple+shift+F to launch Firefox or something...is there a way to do that, or does it...
