Well been around the bend with this one and apparently it's some kind of proxy problem. After getting home from a business trip, I tried Safari and Software update (both had the same error) and they work from home just fine, no proxy. But we use a proxy at work. I had it configured for...

Also check the Parallels forum here http://forum.parallels.com/index.php A huge amount of information there, and honestly you'll get answers there more quickly than from Parallels support. Still a great product, I use it every day. Invaluable to a business user. Mark

I don't know. Something else is wrong with Safari I haven't been able to fix - open it and any page results in a POSIX error. I suppose I could download another browser, but I actually prefer Firefox for just about everything. I typically keep my home page open in a tab and then work in...

Honestly not sure if it's flash or not, have not looked that close. Go to cnn.com and surf up any page. If the Mac ad comes up, Firefox goes nuts. I can't say if it's isolated just to Firefox because my Safari won't load any page and has a POSIX error...lucky me. However it does not happen...

I wouldn't think so because once I connect manually, signal strength is full and it works perfectly.

You read that right. I can always tell if my home page suddenly has an ad with video running (like the new Mac ads) because the fan will suddenly max out and when I take a look at the CPU, Firefox is going to 190%! My only option is to force-quit Firefox, restart and hope the same ad doesn't...

Anyone have a clue about this? I still have not been able to find a fix. Clearing preferences doesn't do anything, saving a network apparently doesn't do anything...

This started happening a while ago when I was running 10.4.7. I didn't dig into it too much because I use Firefox for most browsing. Then I upgraded to 10.4.8 and all was well, Safari was working again. For a day or so. Now it does this (below) every time I open it, for every page I try...

Seems like another twist on a recurring problem. I have a MacBook Pro and a Linksys wireless router set to WPA. With 10.4.7 I had no problems, the wireless connection would automatically connect as soon as I booted the Mac. This weekend I upgraded to 10.4.8 (along with 9 other packages) and...

I've got rsyncx now, but still pretty complicated for an OS that pitches itself as being easier for everyone. Generate scripts, schedule scripts...pain in the...I just want a simple "on login - sync, on logout - sync" nothing more fancy than that. So if I create the script I want, can I use an...

Ok so Carbon Copy is a disk cloner, and my only option is to clone the entire Users folder? No way, not good enough. I need to sync certain things, but surely not everything. I'd like to keep my files within my home folder for security reasons, but holy crap there's a lot there that I don't...

So let me get this straight. In order to sync files between my MBP and a server I have to download some utility and then set it up to sync certain things on a schedule? You gotta be kidding me. Here's the situation, and I know this is common. I use a MBP, and that's all I use...no Mini, no...

Not sure if this solves your problem, but I ran into a similar issue with my MBP not connecting to my WEP wireless network at home. I have other PCs on the network that connected every time without problems. I read through all the tricks and nothing seemed to fix the problem. Then I converted...

Actually I just finished changing my network over to WPA and the problem vanished. It now connects without any problem, automatically and transparently, just like it should. No $ signs, no other tricks at all. Looks like there's an issue with WEP and Tiger. Besides, I'm happier now because...

I searched and didn't find this issue. I have a Kensington PocketMouse Wireless which I've had for over a year now and really like it. Small, portable and works very well on my Windows machines. Except for the fact it eats batteries, it's a great travel mouse. Now I'm trying to get it...
