Yeah, I'm so flooded with replies I'm swamped! The DNS setup is done by VirtualBox and is (was) the default settings. Yes the tools were installed. The VM worked flawlessly when copied to another Mac on the same network. I fixed it by adding a new adaptor which uses the host's airport...

Info on the 64-bit version of Blender at the bottom of this page http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/CocoaBlender

After trying VMWare and Parallels and not getting acceptable performance in Vista, I switched to VirtualBox last year and have been very happy with it. I decided to see what the difference is running it via BootCamp, apart from Aero it wasn't any faster really so I did a full system restore via...

I DID find some info as to why Blender is not out for Mac 64-bit, basically more work is needed. I'm in a similar predicament, unfortunately us Mac Blenderheads aren't given the same priority as Linux and Windows users, that's my view anyway (like no sound support on Intel Macs, no 64 bit, no...

A lot of people here are going to have strong feelings about this, to be honest I've just realised I care a lot and I really like the guy. He's going to be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to see him back doing what he does best in the summer.

I've just been having a play with the Beta myself, I honestly can't say it's much quicker, took as long to install - I think, I didn't time it. I really, really, really do not like the start bar, it looks crap compared to Vista's. It feels marginally quicker under VirtualBox but with no support...

Like a golden egg vs. a wet fart... basically Looking at the screenshots, it looks like the start bar is going for some kind of KDE-ish look and the chunky window borders look to me like Aero isn't running properly. I've been having a good play with Vista, it feels like it's bloated and by...

I guess I'm the only one with the problem?

Everytime I start iWeb, since re-installing my Macbook I get a nag asking if I want to join MobileMe, I say no. But it comes up every single time I start it and I'm starting to get irritated. I cannot find anything about it here or via Google, does anyone else have this problem? How can I...

Well it would be rude to leave this thread without some final thoughts now that some time has passed. All in all, I love my MacBook, still got a problem with my main application - Blender but as I understand it, it's due to a bug in the GMA950 driver or something that I can't recall at this...

well, I'm not sure about graphical 'oomph', I would just like some overall 'oomph'. As I continue to use my Mac I'm running into more and more problems with applications which I've never had before. I use blender heavily, I'm having to go back to an older eMac to do anything at the moment...

LOL! I agree mate, totally. I've had great fun showing my MacBook off to 'PC' users, every arguement they levelled was just blown away when booting up windows in Parallels (or Boot Camp). In fact, *I* am having great fun saying things like "see, a PC just CANT do that". Coherence in Parallels...

Hi JBarley, after I read your post, I thought 'to hell with it', I'd used Time Machine to backup already to an external drive. So late last night I did a new erase and install (without printer drivers, language support, X11 etc.). The freshly installed system HAS I'm pleased to say, provided a...

Hi Fryke, no not really, this is for opinions and open letters, so I'm expressing an opinion and finalising with a question if anyone else has had similar experiences or 'opinion'. :)

Well after a long happy relationship with my Mac mini G4 1.25, I eventually went mobile and got a 2nd hand iBook G4 800. It was a bit slower than my Mac mini, but I was generally happy and Tiger was quite snappy - all things considered. Then Apple dropped a bombshell on me, Leopard would only...

As an update, I've not found a single application which can test the battery, but plenty which will do various things with laptop batteries. In addition, last night I came home unslept the Mac and used it for a few seconds before it just died, as if someone ripped the power cord out. I could...

Are there any utils to test the battery in situ?

The USB disk drive is for data only, the disks NOT being found at boot-time are the internal and combo drives. As far as can recall the hub was an active USB hub. But I can't recall the brand etc. so I can't check (I couldn't find any online info anyway) and I took the offending article back...

To be honest, I've doing lots of creative work on my lucious Mac, but I do drop by from time to time, how could I not? ;)

Hi fellow Mac lovers Bear with me while I rattle this story off: Since this is a Mac and not some PC, I've only had cause to shutdown a few times this year, mainly when going away overnight on a trip (I mean that as in going somewhere, not dropping acid and watching the floor ripple)...
