Is it possible to set per-application volume levels under Mac OS X?
I would like to be able to turn the volume down on Entourage for new emails, but leave everything else at a pleasant level, adjusting media playback volumes via iTunes or the DVD app.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). What's the best way to find a folder for which I'm not sure of the full name?
For example, I know the folder name I want is like:
"farm-animal-type"
But the full name may be something like:
"farm-animal-type-horse"
On Windows, I would just use the find tool through Windows Explorer.
Is there a utility built into the Mac software to allow for burning ISO downloaded from the internet.
Or.. Is there a better utility on the Net for performing this function?
I've been getting these weird icons attached to Windows related files on my Mac.
The file is usually associated with some Windows application.
Where can I find these icons? Can I replace them? Are they originated by Windows (running as VM)?
Does anybody have the step by step configuration process that would allow VirtualBox running a Linux/Ubuntu guest on a Mac OS X host use the bridge type network using Ethernet and wireless? I have read that it does work and it doesn't work, trying to find a definite answer. I want the guest environment to look like a separate box.
Thanks
How can I make a bootable backup of my Mac's internal hard drive to be restored using Disk Utility, without formatting my external destination drive as HFS+ (it's FAT32, of course)? Time Machine and SuperDuper both require that the volume where the backup is saved be HFS+ formatted.
This looks helpful:

But it doesn't explain how to use FAT32 disk.
Hi,
I would like to upgrade my mac from 10.5.8 to Snow leopard 10.6. I searched around the google but didn't get any clear info from Apple sites. Is it possible? Are there any steps to follow this from Apple sites? Is there any possibility to do it without wiping the existing software and files?
Thank you. I appreciate your helps.
On the Mac, a lot of programs hide the .xxx extension by default. Is there a way to turn this behaviour off so that extensions are never hidden by default?
I know I don't actually need it, I just prefer it to be there.
In the past I have always run a NAT router between my Windows PC's and the internet. I'm wondering if I still need this or whether the OSX firewall is good enough to let me put a Mac directly on the internet.
The Mac OS X Server homepage tells of a feature "Mobile Access Server":

But the text is very marketingy and doesn't actually say what it does? Is it a type of VPN or a remote desktop thingy or what?

I have a Western Digital My Passport Studio external hard drive. It works with either Firewire 800 or USB 2.0. I've noticed that when I have it connected to Firewire, after a few hours, processes on my Mac start to go into an uninterruptible wait state. Eventually the system becomes so hard locked that I can't even shut it down. I have Spotlight indexing of the drive disabled, and the mds process seems to be the one that triggers this eventual system collapse.
My colleagues mark folders on mac server using their macs, and sometimes tell me i've marked those folders in green. I'm wondering if there's any mean to see what colours got assigned to what folders using PC. I'm connecting to the server using smb/ssh. Solution can be either windows or linux. Please not i'm not about to change those markings, neither looking for some robust solution, just quick hack.
I have a number of old VHS tapes, as well as some analog 8mm tapes. I still have a working VCR, as well as the camcorder that recorded the tapes. I'd like to convert these on a Mac (MacBook Pro) - what do I need in order to digitize these tapes?
I got a AT&T compatible Nexus One that I'm trying to connect to my Mac Book Pro (Snow Leopard) for development. When I do an adb devices, it doesn't appear, and I can't do an adb install either. Until today, I've been using a G1 and I haven't had any issues. I haven't placed a SIM in the phone yet, but I don't think that should matter.
on my iphone there is a program called notemaster that lets me manage google docs right from my phone. but i was wondering if there is a similar app for the mac?
