I travel back and forth between US and UK and have DVDs from regions 1 and 2. I cannot change my region anymore on the macbook without it being the last change allowed. I downloaded VLC and went to system/preferences and changed the instruction to open VLC (instead of DVD player) when DVD...
At work we use MS outlook on Windows XP as email system. I was using Entourage on macbook but have just switched to Apple Mail. All good, it runs more smoothly, except the "sent" and "drafts" folders from apple mail don't synchronize with the sent items and drafts folders on outlook/exchange...
When I open a finder window one of my options is to list files by "date modfied" but when I search ("find files") i lose the "date modified" option and instead only have "last opened" as option. Is there a way to get the files listed in searching to appear with a "date modified" column?
Thanks for the response.
I use the VPN on the macbook, not anything I downloaded. I use it to connect to network at my work.
I don't understand the changing parts configuration question.
Why? Obvious reason -- save the hassle of retyping password each time I connect.

Thanks to both, Soulwar and Delta. The AirPort card not recognized, so when I do the airport setup asst it just tells me there is no airport card on the computer. What Delta writes is correct: AirPort works fine on macbook, but hardware on the iMac....

have reset PRAM, no difference. Will try reinstalling OS when I have a moment to free up the macbook (the DVD drive on the iMac is broken, so I have to reinstall from the macbook with the iMac booted in firewire target mode). If reinstallatin does not work I may try reseating Airport card, but...

I had to reinstall the OS on my iMac. Now when I go to Internet Connect it says "Status: No AirPort Hardware Found." In fact, the little pie-shape that is usually on the menu bar next to the clock and the volume indicator is gone (as is the icon for the VPN connection). I know the airport base...
I did not get to that screen because i, stupidly, was using the DVD from the iMac and receiving a notice that the software from the disk could not be put on the computer. Once I used the installation DVD from the macbook I was able to get to the screen you ask about and I've reinstalled the OS...
thanks for your responses. The situation has evolved, but the problem is still unresolved.... As requested I've begun a new thread: http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/297829-installing-os-firewire-target.html#post1428598
Thanks,

This note ultimately regards reinstalling the OS from the DVD on an iMac that has been booted in firewire target mode.

I have an iMac (with the Intel chip) running OS 10.4
When I boot the computer I get a grey screen with a flashing folder (with question mark in...
