In cases like this I'd probably suspect the cable (FireWire or USB, whichever you're using) or the bus. If you're using the same cable at home and at the office then it's unlikely to be that. In which case there may be something up with the port on the Mac Pro or the connection bus on the logic...

The Entourage Help Page is your friend :)

You can with a couple of caveats. You need a fully licensed operating system to run in the virtual machine. For instance you can not use the serial number for the copy of Mac OS X Server which is running as the Host OS as the Guest OS too. You also can't install Mac OS X Desktop as a Guest OS...

It's very unlikely. As long as the adapter is in good shape with no damage (e.g. stressed or broken cable connections or pins.) then it should do the job.

I had a similar problem at a clients a couple of months ago. What you're experiencing MIGHT be due to statistics and 'delayed_acks'. If you're not scared of the command line, have a look here and here. This gives a bit of related background as to what is is you're changing.

For the love of your own sanity do at least this: 1) Boot from OS X install disk. 2) Open Disk Utility 3) From the 'Security Options..." button under the Erase tab choose AT LEAST the 7 pass erase, if not the 35 pass erase 4) Erase disk using these settings. It'll take a while (24 hours...

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060914134524613&query=mail%2Bscreensaver Any help? edit/ I just read the hint again, and it probably doesn't. But you COULD bash something together by making your own screensaver using Quartz Composer, which is part of the Developer Tools. Maybe...

If you're trying to print over the internet to a printer on another network (e.g. from home to work over your ADSL line) then trying to print to any 192.168.x.x address won't work as that's a 'private' IP address used on private, non-routable LANs. Basically your machine at home can't see the...

Do you mean you want the same eMail accounts available on all 3 machines? If so, having a single Entourage database in a central location isn't the best way to do it, I'd use an IMAP account and point all 3 instances of Entourage to it. Keeping the individual databases locally.

Well you have XCode for your IDE (On the disk that came with the MacBook) and can write in Objective C, C++, Java... you name it. As for PuTTY, you have a filly fledged OpenSSH environment right there installed now. Open the Utilities folder that's in the Applications folder. Double click on...

I'd check eBay and what similar models go for there and then take a bit away for the lack of RAM and the damaged button. £450 off the top of my head.

RBrowser, it can be used in an FTP only free mode!

It's all the windows and menus you normally have when you use your Mac. Did you type 'exit' (without the quotes, of course). What happened then?

What's happening is that the Mac is now booting into single user mode. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106388) This is a mode usually associated with troubleshooting where your Mac boots directly into a 'terminal window' without loading all the GUI windows you're used to. The...

Really? Nothing? Surely I'm not the last user of serial comms ever!
