    Question About boot camp

    I have a VMWare Fusion virtual machine for Windows XP with Visual Studio. The machine has two processors (my MBP has four cores, which the virtual machine sees as separate processors) with 1552MB memory and 30GB hard disk. I have to say that I normally use VS on PC, but it works just fine on...

    I need to hook up to hdmi from MBP17

    Have you tried with another HDMI target, like monitor? Anyhow, my mini displayport -> HDMI "cable" (about three inches) works fine: when I plug it to my MBP the computer shows automatically either my monitor (Samsung) or my TV (Panasonic) on the display list and makes them the external display...

    I need to hook up to hdmi from MBP17

    There are some mini displayport to hdmi cables that support also sound. The catch is, they cost so much that you could add dozens of audio cables alongside the video cable.

    Ideas for rewriting files with random stuff?

    How about this (use Terminal.app) Use "say" command to create an audio file, like $ say -o audio.aiff "I do not use shared folders to my own music" You did not say the format of the files, but if they are mp3, you need to convert the .aiff files. Download LAME from Versiontracker and...

    My SQL

    Are you sure you used legal names on tables and columns? There is no guarantee that the GUI checks that the SQL command it generates is legal. You said you can view your old tables. Have you tried to create a new one that is almost the same as an old one, for example changing the name by adding...

    Safari ignores letter-spacing on my account

    Create yourself a new account and use the style on that. If it works, check what files differ. Or, move all your files to the new account (remember to change owner of the files).

    Pasword potect folder

    If you have some static stuff, i.e. something that does not increase much in side, you could create an encrypted disk image file using Disk Util. When clicked, Finder asks the password and mounts the disk image file as a disk, where you can have the files you like to protect. After use, drag the...

    [Leopard]NFS Problems With long path

    I guess the problem is more on the utf8 and Russian than in spaces. You have to be certain that the filesystem supports utf8, nfs server supports utf8 and nfs client (mac) supports utf8. Try long paths with normal ASCII characters (/Users/username/level1/level2/ .. you get the idea).

    find command in terminal -- listing files twice

    To me it lists the files only once, so there is something wrong. You might like to try find . -iname "*text*" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l It lists each file with lots of information in columns. You should check the second column. It should be 1 (each file contains has only one name).

    crontab

    Why .rtf; is the file RTF file? In Unix configuration files are plain text files. http://adminschoice.com/crontab-quick-reference says, that /5 (repeat the command every fifth hour) is not supported on every systems. You might need to use *0,5,10,20 * * * * /Users/mariondeckert/Test.app...

    If you can open the port with Firefox, why do you use Safari?

    Extra Folder in my /Volumes folder

    I did not right get it, but if I understood right, you have a directory named /Volumes/Trigger and you need to remove it. Why not first rename it something else, in case some problems come. Use command "mv /Volumes/Trigger /oops" and then reboot. If the original Trigger comes without "1", it...

    Problem with grep caused me to spot library issue

    Sorry I cannot help, but one notion: In OS X and Linux, grep, egrep and fgrep are same program. You can check it with $ ls -i /usr/bin/grep /usr/bin/egrep /usr/bin/fgrep , you should get same number along the file names. This means that the program decides its behavior from the name (grep...

    know the password without risking it

    I use HandySafe on my phone. It is a program that stores passwords, credit card numbers etc. The phone is Microsoft Mobile based, but it is awailable for Symbian phones also. I guess there are similar programs for other phones also. However, it does not solve your problem totally: you need to...

    Run following command on terminal.app: mount You see a list of disks, like (on my MacbookPro) /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowe) .. /dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/Civilization IV (hfs,..) /dev/disk2s2 on /Volumes/LacieMac The first line is...

    Really dumb perl/terminal question

    There is one reason why ' (single quotes) are better than " (quotes): In shell (both commandline and script mode), text inside ' quotations is read character by character, but in " quotations variables are expanded first. So, if you have variable name='Hello World' code perl...

    Can't play avi file on VLC or QuickTime: 'not a movie file'

    It might be (I did not download the movie), that the original movie is sliced to smaller pieces. You have to put them together. I bet there are some graphical programs that do that, but you can do it using terminal.app and Unix command(s). Try on terminal.app. The catch is to give the files...
