Hello,
I am using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. What I need is to map my FTP server as a local drive - or anything I have write access to - in Finder.
Thanks - A LOT!!! - in advance.
Problem: I've set up a mail server using SASL authentication, and have given Mail.app (on Mac Os 10.4) the login information it needs to connect. I wrote a test message for it to deliver to my server: the Activity window shows that it tries to deliver the message, but then it simply stops, with no indication of error, except that the test message is left in the Outbox.
How can I find out what went wrong? Is there some log file I don't know about?
I am looking for a password manager for a command-line Unix environment. So far all I can find are keyring applications for Windows, Linux, and Mac. But no command-line Unix interfaces.
My main goal is to be able to access a password keyring through an SSH connection to a machine that has no graphical user interface. If there are no good unix password keyrings out there, what would be a better way to store personal passwords in a central location?
I have a mailing list with 100,000 email addresses, and I have to send it an email weekly.
What application/program/webapp/script/etc do I have to use to send 100,000 emails weekly and avoid being considered a spammer?
No program for only Windows or Mac please. I use Linux.
I'm trying to search my Windows Home Server for .DS_Store files that my Mac littered the server with. Windows 7 reports there are no *.DS_Store files in a folder, even though I can see it with the Show hidden files and folders option turned on. What can I do to track all these files down on my server and wipe them out?
i have wanted to learn about networking and how they work. Are there books or websites that are good for them? Some things I wanted to learn about:
how to write a program that works like traceroute / tracert
how subnet masks work
how http://192.168.1.105 works
how http://127.0.0.1 works
how http://localhost works
how http://room3pc works
how smb://room3pc works
how a LAN works with or without DHCP
how to connect to a mac using a URL
I just upgraded a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought with 10.5 installed to Snow Leopard.
After doing the upgrade I am trying to access NTFS partitions on my external hard drive but they are just not showing up. I went ahead and installed Windows 7 using Parallels, and I can access the NTFS partitions from within Windows, but not from Mac OS X. I know that Snow Leopard should be able to at least read NTFS drives, so what is going on here?
I am trying to upload a 12MB .wav file on a Mac running Transmit to a Linux box running Apache and get the following error after uploading just 160KB of the file:
error-135-socket-write-error
Any clues why I may be getting this? I have successfully uploaded much larger files in the past and nothing has changed on the configuration.
Thanks in advance.
if i want to mount remote folders in my mac and use them as a local one, should i use webdav over ftp?
basically, i have read that webdav is better than ftp (old protocol).
does this mean that i should never use ftp and only webdav?
Can anyone give advice or pointers to resources for migrating a PC Outlook user's email, contacts, etc, to Entourage 2008 on a Mac? Most of what I see is from circa 2005, and I wonder if there is more accurate or effective information.
Short of getting a Mac and using iMovie, what are the alternatives that you'll recommend to a non-profit organization that needs to produce simple (but polished) videos to showcase their community service activities to raise funds.
Currently they are using Windows Movie Maker but have sort of outgrown it. I installed Jashaka for them, and understandably, they couldn't grok it at all. Their current system is powerful enough to handle most video editing tasks.
Which is preferred FREE video conferencing software to do conferencing with multiple people? where every user should be able to all other user at same time using small screen on screen.
and with cross platform compatibility as if i'm on windows then other person can be at MAC.
I've created a presentation as a series of .png images, one per slide. What is a good way to convert these into a .ppt (PowerPoint) that I can give to some audio-visual person? I'm entirely on Linux, with no Windows or Mac software available.
(Or maybe PowerPoint isn't the only game in town for presentation file formats?)
Consider a standard GigE network switch. In order to do the switching, presumably it needs to maintain a map of MAC addresses of all things that exist on the network to its (switch's) port numbers.
How does it maintain such a map?
What are the protocols involved?
If I change the topology of one part of the network, does the entire network get notified or do things get discovered "lazily" (i.e. on first need)?
Host OS: Mac OS X 10.5 with VMware Fusion 2.0.6
I have successfully installed and running Ubuntu 9.10 server edition on a VMware guest. When I select my VM and click Install VMware Tools, nothing happens. Is there a way to install VMware tools through the CLI only?
My landlord would like to print to her printer connected to her Mac from Windows machines in her house. (I'm unsure of what versions of windows, but I assume Vista or 7.)
Looking at these docs from Apple, it sounds like I can set up the share via Bonjour for Windows or SMB. What are the pros and cons of doing it one way or the other? Has anybody who has tried both found one more reliable than the other, or is it pretty much a tossup?
On the native mac widgets, emacs keybindings (ctrl-a,ctrl-e,ctrl-k,etc) are default.
On Ubuntu, I can configure GTK to use emacs keybindings.
I've recently installed Tomboy on OS X, which uses Mono and GTK. Does anybody know how to configure this application (which uses GTK widgets) to use emacs keybindings?
Is there an open-source web app for viewing .ics calendars?
I have a server running the open source CalDAV server "DAViCal" to share calendars between co-workers. I (the admin) add/delete the calendars by configuring my Mac OS X iCal application, but I want to also host a web app that displays a human-readable calendar, so without any configuration my coworkers can visit a web page and see the calendar.
Thanks
Is it possible to set Google Reader as the default feed reader on Safari and/or Mac OS X so that when I open an RSS in Safari I'm redirected to Google Reader like it does in Firefox when you set it appropriately? How?
Are there any good FOSS tools to do an audit of reserved IPs used in a Linux/UNIX ISC DHCPd environment? I'm trying to ensure that we do not have stale IP addresses reserved when old MAC addresses are pulled.
Spaces rarely returns focus to my last used window. Haven't been able to peg universally reproducible steps, but spend any time switching among spaces and windows and you'll come across this.
It often happens with Finder windows. I'm thinking this is because Mac OS X treats Finder as a single app, so bringing Finder forward in one space brings it forward in all spaces. Extremely annoying!
Anyone have a fix for this?
My one month old MacBook Pro suddenly does not sleep anymore when I close the lid. There might be a relation to the Caffeine program that I installed recently. Caffeine prevents a Mac from going into sleep. But I have the problem when Caffeine is not even running.
What reasons could there be for this problem happening? I'm hoping its a software problem instead of some hardware failure.
I have a friend with a broken iBook, but we wish to recover the hard disk. I haven't seen the drive itself, however the spec lists it as an "Ultra ATA drive". Could you please advise if this is 100% compatible with any standard USB IDE 2.5inch enclosure?
Full spec:
iBook 12" 1GHz(AP) 256MB DDR266 SDRAM built-in Keyboard/Mac OS X Bluetooth Module 40GB Ultra ATA drive Combo (DVD-ROM/CD-RW).
I'm using my 13" Mac Book Pro's audio input functionality with an external microphone (recent vintage, bought around Thanksgiving). I've increased my input volume to the maximum in system preference, but the resulting recorded volume (using iShowU HD) is very low.
Is there anyway to increase the input volume/sensitivity beyond Apple's default settings? I've found plenty on google about increasing the OUTPUT volume, but I want to increase the input volume.
