When purchasing/downloading OSX apps from the App store, is it possible to keep an offline backup as well? I've been told that you can simply copy the app itself from the /Applications/ folder, but of course that only assumes that the installer didn't spread lots of additional support files all...

I didn't know extra software was needed in order to limit folder/file access in MacOS Tiger. I've installed it now, but touched nothing as I don't quite understand it yet. Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't be surprised that I can access everything from my Powerbook when I'm on the iMac...

Aha! That changes everything. Loopyl00: Like Doctor X said earlier on it's up to someone to supply a new, region-free firmware for that particular drive. Without it there's nothing you can do, regardless of computer/operating system. Ask around nicely in the firmware forums (I used to hang...

I believe I read somewhere that you can (can sometimes?) still make a drive region-free even if it's locked to a specific region. Perhaps it's worth a go, even though I don't want to be held responsible if the drive ends up being a door-stop or something.

I'm the original poster of this thread. I understand the problem is that the firmware updater isn't Leopard compatible. I'm no expert, but wouldn't it be possible to boot the computer from a Tiger (MacOS 10.4.x) system DVD, then run the firmware updater from the computer's hard drive...

My household has a wired network (Ethernet) with two computers connected to a common router: a recent iMac running Leopard and a Powerbook G4 (1.67GHz version) running Tiger. I want to be able to transfer files between the two computers' desktop, but it only partially works. I have the...

As far as I understand you also still have a last chance to make it into an RPC-1 drive. I guess the worst thing that can happen is that you end up with a drive locked at one specific region. Don't hold it against me if anything goes wrong, but I think you'll be alright if you follow my...

I'd prefer to set it up without a switch. Only one of the two rooms will be assigned as a workroom (which is where the computer/printer goes), but in case I want to make the other room the workroom later on I want to have the LAN sockets there as well. I want to install LAN sockets in both...

I think you're misunderstanding me. Have a look at the two LAN lines going from the router to room #3 (brown and red cables). Each cable has to be around 50 feet long. Now, if I also wanted two LAN lines in room #4 I would have to add two more 50 feet long cables and attach them to an...

I should have mentioned that I already have a router which is connected after the cable-modem. See the attached diagram for my idea. Notice the small numbered boxes. Those are the ethernet wall-sockets. I understand that you can't connect several computers to the same line (as indeed is...

I would like to create a cabled network at home but don't really know which cables to get etc. I have two Macs sitting in different rooms and will possibly buy a multi-function networking printer later. I haven't decided where I want to place the printer yet. I would like to place several...

How does the new 20" iMac (2.66 GHz) compare to the previous 20" model (2.4 GHz)? The new model is more expensive where I am. Will the new graphic card make any difference (I hear that Snow Leopard will take advantage of better graphic cards, possibly making the whole computer faster or...

Yes, I want to change the available colors (e.g. I don't paritcularly like the green label, so I want to change it to a completely different green). If this is possible within MacOS it sure is hidden well. If not -is there a freeware/shareware tool that can help edit the available color labels?

Is it possible to change the colors of the Finder labels? I'm using MacOS 10.4.11.

I realize this is an old thread, but as I'm struggling to open my LCD display and found this I thought I'd give it a go :) I've got a Samsung LTN152W6-L01 and it has a label with the same warning as you describe. However, I've been told that by removing that tape you can end up with uneven...
