Hi, I am getting some console messages like this: 12/29/10 4:55:59 PM Firewall[67] Stealth Mode connection attempt to TCP 192.168.2.100:56549 from 8.12.203.126:80 (and some are from the 192.168 range so I assume those are within the network) I looked up the ip and it appears to be from...

I was wondering if there was a way to enable or add the functionality (safari extensions?) of Firefox's url bar to Safari. For example, in firefox if I want to go to the myspace page for example of the band Cynic, I would just type "myspace cynic" in the address bar and it would take me right to...

Sorry, I'm probably going to slap myself for having to ask this, but how do I stop sound effects (deleting files, copying, etc) when I have music playing? It just stutters the actual music playing and makes an annoying sound. Thanks.

Hi, After updating to 10.6.1 snow leopard, I noticed a weird bug: when I first open the applications folder after logging in, the applications all have the "no icon" icon, the icon you get when the application doesn't have an icon. Slowly, the icons start to show up. It appears as if it isn't...

Hi, I'm looking for an application with the ability to search matching strings (as designated as anything between a set "prefix" and "suffix") and display them (or what would even be BETTER is if it could write them to a text file). I've looked into text wrangler and it doesn't fit my...

Hi, Currently I have my desktop set to hide all items from the displaying, but I want it to display the standard things (Hard Disk, External HD, iPod/etc but not my clutter of other files and folders in my actual desktop folder). Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks, Aaron

I currently have it set to by date modified, however it is not accurate. For example, when I download something, it will often be near the bottom of the list, rather than the first item in the downloads folder. However, I have a stack for the downloads folder, and it organizes them *correctly*...

Hi, My brother has a NTFS external hard drive connected to his pc that I would like to access from my mac. I can connect to his shared docs fine through smb, but I cannot mount the external drive on my mac (because it is NTFS-formatted, I would assume). Is there a way to do this? Preferably...

Hi, My windows partition has been running great, no issues (besides it taking an unusually long time to login), but I decided to run a quick spyware detection program to make sure its clean. The result: over 30-35 (way too many to count) different trojans/worms are infected. Could the boot...

Hi, Usually when playing an online game called "Marble Blast Online" (via instantaction.com) my mac will lockup and go to a solid black screen. The computer will not respond to any keys pressed, front row remote, mouse, basically anything. The only way to get out is to hold down the power...

Hi, I am getting an error message whenever time machine has tried to back up, today. It says that the volume is read-only; however, I checked it and I have read and write access... I have tried verifying/repairing disk permissions on the volume, to no avail. Can someone help? Bonus...

For some reason, a few people I know think that is is 'bad for the hard drive' to move it around, e.g. from room to room. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Doesn't seem very logical to me.

Lately, I've been noticing problems when logging off and restarting/shutting down my mac. It goes as far as to only display the wallpaper, then is completely frozen. I can get back the finder and the top menubar (no time bar) by clicking menu on my apple remote (little snitch automatically...

I just noticed there is a locked exe on my desktop that has the filename "___" Its last modified date says to be Friday, June 20, 1969. Anyone know how it could have gotten there or if it's okay to delete? -Aaron

Is there any code available or an option to set my mac to wake from sleep and log me in at a certain time each day? Thanks.

It has always worked for me by holding down the option key during boot but now it is not working. It just boots into mac os x without allowing me to choose the disk while I am holding option. Any help?

Hi, I just bought a new keyboard for my mac, and although it is very sleek (but the keys are smaller), I have a problem. I cannot configure Control-F11 as an application shortcut. It will only decrease the volume when I try to set it as that. Is there a way to do this? (*Better be :D) Thanks.

Hi, I have just experienced a problem with my mac- I was booted in windows, clicked standby, and it restarted into mac.... that was very odd, and I clicked sleep on the login screen once in mac, and oddly enough the screen went black for a split second then turned back on... any ideas? I have...

Hi, I'm running Leopard and I have a printer attached to a Windows XP Pc, attached to a linksys wifi router. I can currently connect to the computer itself (by typing in its ip, and the login credentials in Connect to Server window), but for some reason I cannot find the printer when...

Hi, I've had a long term problem where if I try to update quicktime using Software Update, I always get an error message saying I do not have appropriate access privileges (even though I am admin). I have checked to see if the application has been locked somehow, but that line is grayed out...
