Macmastah I'm assuming you have got the advanced option, but just not the SAMBA option. Make sure you are logged on as a user with admin privileges. Then start a terminal and cast the following unix rune: sudo ln -s /etc/smbspool /usr/libexec/cups/backend/smb You'll be asked for your...

This is possible using SAMBA (a network protocol). You need to make sure that the Windows box is setup to Share its printer over the Network. Then you have to to clever things in the Print Center. Hold down ALT (option on some keyboards) when you click on Add Printer. Now from the drop down menu...

I had the same problem, but fixed it in a different way. I made a copy of 'Bookmarks.plist' from ~/Library/Safari, and then trashed the whole ~/Library/Safari folder. On starting up Safari again it re-instated the ~/Library/Safari folder. I needed to quite Safari once more to replace the...

Command-` (the ~/` key just next to the left hand shift key) does the job. The same as in IE.

I'm still trying to puzzle out why I can readily access an exchange server from OS 9 (or a client running in classic) but not under OS X. Here's what I've found out. I know that OS 9 supports NTLM authentication (which is the authentication my MS Exchange server asks for). An Apple Knowledge...

Thanks Danny and Larry for replies. Just to clarify. I've had no problems with OS 9. Outllook Express, or any other IMAP client, talks just fine to the exchange server. It's mail.app or any other IMAP client in OS X where things go wrong. I have used the service Danny and Larry both...

This thread has gone quiet, but I wonder if anyone on it (or not on it) had any other tips. My university doesn't 'officially' support OS X and since I've got a work around there's only so much time they are prepared to give this issue. When I first started using OS X I could access my...

Sorry the angle brackets meant the text didn't appear in my last message. This is what the file looks like, with angle brackets replaced by dashes. ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?- !DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd"- plist version="0.9"-...

My problem was once having selected Show Time or Show Percent in the menu bar battery status icon's drop down menu, I could not restore the battery status icon to it original state, i.e. showing neither time left or percent remaining. Well, I'm not sure anyone else has this 'problem', but if...

On my freshly installed OS X 10.1 the battery icon in the menu bar shows neither per cent remaining nor time remaining. I liked it like that. But having once used the drop down menu to 'Show' either per cent or time remaining I cannot get it back. (Moan: this is bad UI design; if I make a change...
