Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to say this but I forgot to mention that the only way I have access to this is via webdav.. no ssh shell :( Is there a means to recover the password that only requires the web interface and editing files?

I have been put in charge of a mediawiki but do not have the sysop password. Is there any way for me to reset it if I have read/write access to the directory it is installed in? Attempts to contact the prior admin have not been successful.

I have the Harman/Kardon Soundstick II speakers and my computer plugged into a UPS yet somehow the power adapter still died which pisses me off. So.. after going on the harman/kardon website and getting a quote for the cost of the adapter I found it would cost me 40$ to get a new one...

I am attempting to run efence on os x using gcc4.0.1. I have compiled it and can link to it dynamically successfuly with the following issue: I do not know the gcc flag to set to prevent malloc from being dynamically linked to my binary and as a result, while efence appears to run, the...

Your link is broken so I could not find the exact details of what you need to do. Have you though of making a login script? Where are the user accounts stored on these lab computers?

I am attempting to restrict who can connect to my mac mini's airport in order to access it's ethernet connection. I do not want to do this via encryption however but rather by: 1. Restricting the mac addresses that can connect. 2. (preferrably) When a user connects, they are presented with a...

Have you tried rebooting your computer and unplugging/turning off and plugging/turning on all the connections back in? You might also want to try another firewire cable and wiggling the firewire connection on the end of the firewire drive. If I recall, some of these devices have two firewire...

What did you format the iPod as and what generation is it? Formatting it should definitly not kill your iPod. Also what types of problems were you having with it before you formatted it? From the sounds of it so far, your iPod's hard drive may have been damadged even before you did the format.

I have a mac mini, a spare 80gb 3.5 ide hard drive, and am looking at powered firewire enclosures to make use of said hard drive. Since I also have an iPod and would like to use both devices at the same time, I figured it might be a good idea to check if anyone has had problem with...

Looks like I can trade in the old cd-rw for 25$ so the total for the trade would put me down 125$ Robn Kester - What did you end up doing with the other drive?

Hmm, looks like they have the dvd burner and I can install it myself. Great! :) Now, does anybody know where I can get my hands on the airport/bluetooth module and also where I can sell the old cd-rw drive?

Well, I tried the free mac mini website and got the base 1.42Ghz Mac mini model out of it. Success, but not without cost :) I would really like to add the dvd-r drive to it and also the airport and bluetooth module however I am nowhere near an apple store and I don't have personal access to a...

I tried using the iPod.framework but it does not seem to have anything that is useful for identifying iPods other than perhapse a firmware version function. I guess I will have to use the IOKit to find this stuff out. Yuck..

I have a need to identify the iPod model a user plugs into the computer. I know I can parse this information from the files in iPod_Control however I would like to identify it via the firmware or however apple does it (without backwards engineering the iPod framework. Does anyone know how to...
