I am looking for program like TaskPaper with possibility to draw sketches inside. So todo can be note or sketch with note. I am mentioning TaskPaper as it is just plain file with todo list enhancments.
When I plug my Canon PowerShot digital camera into Snow Leopard, it automatically opens iPhoto and asks to import the pictures, but does not mount the camera on the desktop (from what I read, it's a Canon feature to prevent people from screwing up the file system on the memory card, or something). Is there a way I can move photos I've already imported back on to the camera? I can't seem to figure out how to move stuff from Snow Leopard to the camera using iPhoto, and since it doesn't mount....
Hi,
I got OPML files from an iPhone application. I wonder if, appart from Omnioutliner, is possible to open them with Microsoft word or Mail.app for OSX
Thanks
Is there any way to disable the feature where Mail.app on OS X 10.6 will automatically add addresses into the address book when replying to an email from someone not in your address book already?
I have looked through the settings and tried to find ways around this on Google but nothing has come up, so I thought it best to ask the genius pool.
Cheers!
I am wondering if there is any way of easily creating a zip file that contains a bunch of files. However, when I double-click to open this zip file, I do not want it to create a subdirectory with the same name as the zip file, I just want all of the files to be extracted into the directory where the zip files is stored.
Is there a certain flag I can add in terminal to do this, or any program that does this.
Thanks for your help!
I want to set up an Astaro (Sophos) UTM in a Virtual Machine.
The Setup should be at the end the following:
Cable Modem (one IP adress)
| [Ethernet]
Sophos UTM (running as VM [VMWare Fusion 5] on the MacMini)
| [WIFI]
Airport Express v2 (for sharing Local Network to wireless and wired clients)
1)| [WIFI] 2)| [Ethernet over Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter]*
Clients MacMini (Local File Server)
*To have the Mini also protected behind the UTM
So the setup process for the UTM works fine, but then the problems start:
I just have one external IP (from my cable modem provider)== So if I put the VM in briged mode my Internet connection drops, because the MacMini also has its IP adress.
If I put the VM to NAT mode the Mini itself is not protected by the UTM
So: is there a way to hide the en0 interface(Ethernet) and the en1 interface (Wifi) from the MacMini, so that they not even appear in System Preferences Network section but are available to the VM?
That way the Mini must connect to the en2 interface (Thunderbolt adapter) to make any Internet/LAN connection and I just use the given single IP from the Cable Modem.
Thaks for any suggestions...

I'm looking for a simple project management app that performs task scheduling, along the line of Merlin or MS Project, but no where near as robustly. I don't need to deal with other (human) resources, but I work on anything from 3 to 6 different projects at a time. What I'd like is to be able to input deadlines and tasks, and have a schedule suggested to complete them.
I do technical work, but I don't think I need anything specifically for software development, especially considering I do plenty of other kinds of things, like graphic design and social media PR.
I'd really like this to be dead simple, as simple as possible. Suggestions? OmniPlan, something web-based? Definitely cannot afford anything too extravagant, really looking for something under $200.
Thanks for your input!
I have been experiencing high CPU usage (138%) on my MacBook, while looking at flash videos on the internet with the Firefox browser. Mostly this usage makes itself noticeable by the loud noise of the fans and a hot MacBook which is very annoying for me.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem or a workaround in of any kind?
I was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to choose "Don't Save" when an alert comes up. I'm talking specifically about Photoshop but the same action happens in many applications.
It's the standard pop up that shows when you are canceling out of a window and haven't saved the document or project. To be clear it says "Don't Save", "Cancel" and "Save". Save is generally the default but I was just curious if there's a way to choose "Don't Save" without clicking.
I know this may be a pretty simple question but I was curious about it and it's surprisingly hard to Google...
Thanks!
I am using a Nokia E50 and iMac. My iMac is connected to the internet.
I want to share my internet connection to my E50 via Bluetooth. Is there any way to do this?
Is there any third party application which does the same? ie, which provides an option to share the internet of a desktop?
Thanks in advance.
How can I hide file/folder in Finder and roll it back easily (like windows)
and how can I tell Finder to show hidden files or not (like folder option(hide hidden file) in Windows)
I don't want a way like this.
So, I broke a website with some server changes oops. I roll back the changes I made, hit cmd-R, and oh noes, it is still broken. But I relax thinking, there must be something held in safari's cache so I press the handy 'Empty Cache' button. Hit cmd-R for refresh it is still broken. I'm really worried that I've done it and broken something bigtime. But first decide to check on a hand win xp computer, and voila it works.
So the question is how do you "really" clear the cache w/o restart safari, I have many browser windows open a restart every time I make a server side change will ruin me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
My question is essentially the same as this one, but for OS X 10.6 instead of Windows 7.
I would like to run a program whenever I connect to my home wireless network (not the one at work or university). I'm sure there's a program that does this, but unfortunately my google-fu isn't strong today.
I have been running into walls with this for a while, so I posted at stackoverflow, and I was pointed over here...
I am attempting to setup multiple IP addresses on Snow Leopard so that I can develop with SSL certificates. I am running XAMPP - I don't know if that is the problem, but I guess I would run into the same problems, considering the built in apache is turned off.
So first up I looked into starting up the IPs on start up. I got up an running with a new StartupItem that runs correctly, because I can ping the ip address:
ping 127.0.0.2
ping 127.0.0.1
And both of them work. So now I have IP addresses, which as you may know are not standard on OSx.
I edited the /etc/hosts file to include the new sites too:
127.0.0.1 site1.local
127.0.0.2 site2.local
I had already changed the httpd.conf to use the httpd-vhosts.conf - because I had a few sites running on the one IP address.
I have edited the vhosts file so a site looks like this:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/jim/Documents/Projects/site1/web"
ServerName site1.local
<Directory "/Users/jim/Documents/Projects/site1">
Order deny,allow
Deny from All
Allow from 127.0.0.1
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443>
DocumentRoot "/Users/jim/Documents/Projects/site1/web"
ServerName site1.local
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile "/Applications/XAMPP/etc/ssl-certs/myssl.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/Applications/XAMPP/etc/ssl-certs/myssl.key"
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
<Directory "/Users/jim/Documents/Projects/site1">
Order deny,allow
Deny from All
Allow from 127.0.0.1
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
In the above code, you can change the 1's to 2's and it is the setup for the second site. They do use the same certificate, which is why they are on different IP addresses.
I also included the NameVirtualHost information at the top of the file:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.2:80
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.2:443
I can ping site1.local and site2.local. I can use telnet ( telnet site2.local 80 ) to get into both sites. But in Safari I can only get to the first site1.local - navigating to site2.local gives me either the localhost main page (which is included in the vhosts) or gives me a Access forbidden!.
I am usure what to do, any suggestions would be awesome.
a couple of other people have posted about this but my specific problem has not been addressed. For months I have been backing up DVDs and home movies with no problem then all of a sudden I get an "input/output" error. Yes I have cleaned the disks. Actually I have tried 8 different ones - they are not all bad so its obviously my computer. I have done a scan and cleaned up the HD a bit just in case but nothing is helping.
I don't want to download other programs since this one works but seems to be having a problem. Any ideas?
Hi,
I am redirecting my question to superuser from stackoverflow:
I have a http streaming link which gives me .flv streaming feed. I want to convert that and access in my iPhone program. How can i do that? I want to have a desktop software like VLC and input this streaming feed URL and convert to iPhone supported and stream again to iPhone. I tried VLC with H.264 and Mpeg-1 audio, but seems to be it doesn't give the supported format, so as iPhone program doesn't play the video. Could someone please guide me how can i setup a desktop software which can stream iPhone supported file?
Thanks in advance.
Many times I have the following problem. I create a new folder, but it doesn't appear in the Finder. Right now I have this problem with a folder created in Eclipse. After a while it appears, but I cannot tell when. I can see the folder in the terminal. A similar problem happens when I rename a folder or file. Then I have to move out of the parent folder, open another folder, go back, and most of the time it's there.
I'm using 10.8 Mountain Lion now, but this is not a problem of this release. I have this problem for several years now.
Maybe I'm the only one with this problem? Is there a way to get this working normally?
I've set up cron to run a simple hello world shell script, but it's giving me an error that Google isn't helping me resolve. I've got to be missing something really simple!
Here's my crontab:
[email protected]
SHELL=/bin/bash
30 * * * * * $HOME/hello.sh
Here's hello.sh:
#!/bin/bash
echo HELLO WORLD!
I get this error email:
/bin/bash: 555: command not found
I have tried setting shell to /bin/sh but it makes no difference. I still get an analogous error message.
I have a Logitech MK250 keyboard I use with my Macbook. One day the "minor/mayor than" and the "back slash" keys flip their functionality, so I have to hit "backslash" to get a "minor than" symbol and press the "alt + minor than" key to get the "backslash".
Is there any way to reverse this annoying behavior? I often switch to Windows, where the keys work the expected way, and I'm always missing the right key.
I need to work out a way to have Firefox 4 or 3.6 on OSX to auto open Word, Excel and Powerpoint file types from a local intranet.
I have setup Firefox under a localuseradmin with the file types set to open automaticly and then I copied the Firefox/Mozilla folders into the /system/library/user template/ but when a new user logs in the file type association is set back to default when Firefox runs.
I am trying to set my bash prompt to display the time and current directory in bold:
export PS1="\[\e[1m\][\A] \w \$ \[\e[0m\]"
This does apparently work, but when I use the command history (ctrl-r), after finding the command I was searching for and pressing enter, this line is not displayed correctly. Here is an example:
[21:58] ~/Wyona/svn-repos/zwischengas $
(reverse-i-search)`ta': tail -F logs/log4j-cnode1.log
becomes, after pressing enter:
[21:58] ~/Wyona/svn-repos/zwischengas $ -F logs/log4j-cnode1.log
Of course, this is not "really" a problem, since the command does work correctly, but it is still annoying. Does anybody know why this happens? And, more importantly, how to prevent/fix it?
Thanks,
Memo
I need (free) software to login to my iMac from my iPod. TeamViewer works but the iMac puts itself to sleep. Are there any programs that can turn on my iMac remotely? Alternatively, are tere any settings that I can change to keep my iMac on at all times and ensure constant availability?
I am no longer using the trackpad on my macbook and using a separate wired apple keyboard instead. I miss the scrolling functionality on my trackpad, I'm having to make do with the keyboard (the mouse is too far away for efficient scrolling).
Is there a way to map a key combination (such as cmd+pagedown) such that I scroll up/down half a page instead of a full page?
Even better, is there a way to map key combinations to arbitrary scrolling distances?
Thanks for your time
The server was upgraded from 10.5 from 10.6, during the upgrade the Reverse Zones were lost so I tried to recreate these but found that it's best to delete all zones, definitions and start again.
So I've started again and Reverse Zones are appearing but I'm still having issues. I receive the following errors (if they help)
01-Nov-2010 12:52:01.254 client 192.168.1.52#57051: view com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public: query (cache) 'server.dev.home.gateway/A/IN' denied

At the moment I have the following setup in the DNS
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Reverse Zone
