Okay. I know that workstation and server class machines are a lot more stable - they are built to survive under stress loads. I was checking a number of 'Geek' sites, and I couldn't see any such comparison .. they were comparing Mac to PC equivilents, but nothing like Mac Pro to iMac.

I have a Mac Mini G4 1.25 Ghz ... The video memory was the biggest problem for me when it came to Civ 4. Civ 3 complete works great. Rise of Nations gold runs wonderfully and is excellent. Sims 2 and Sim City are a little slow. Railroad Tycoon 3 rocks :) There are more games I could have...

This is odd. Apple was in talks with Cisco regarding the use of the iPhone name. Cisco wanted Apple to implement a number of network specific features into the phone, cisco protocol compatibilities, etc etc. Apple refused to make THEIR product to another company's specs .. and Cisco wouldn't...

I haven't tried setting up solaris on a mac specifically - however I thought I'd interject here with another point. Solaris supports EFI natively (Sparc systems use EFI too). Because of this, I would think you wouldn't need boot camp or anything special. Just partition, install, and go ...

I can't be sure about your LaCie drive issue - you can check the console and see if you are getting a number of IO seek errors, etc .. they should give you better insight. Its possible that when you zero'd it (depending on how you did it) you overwrote some specific drive parameters that...

Apple -> System Preferences -> Sound Adjust Output volume.

First off - I am assuming a few things... lets not proceed unless I am correct at assuming: * You are running XP SP2 * You are using the built in Windows Wireless Utility (Zero Conf Util) * You don't have any security software or wireless intrusion software installed (ie. Symantec Security...

Go into Wireless Properties - where it says preferred networks. Remove all the profiles listed in that box, then try reconnecting again. If still no, remove wireless connection and reconfigure. EDIT: I am assuming you are SEEING the wireless connection, and can connect to it - just can't surf.

First off, I want to you to note that I'm not saying the driver is necessarily wrong or bad. This was with a MacBook Pro, not a MacBook - and come to think of it - I think it was Vista :P .. but its still a possibility... lets check.. Go into Device Manager on the Macbook - What things have a...

Have you tried turning off your wireless access point's encryption and see if it works wide-open? That'll help pinpoint what's going on. Edit: Not 100% sure on the MacBook - but i know the MacBook pro can get different drivers and have similar issues - if you use the Atheros drivers that...

Can you get into single user mode (hold command+S after turning on) If you can, try running the fsck command listed when you boot into single user mode.

The software is the way to go... If you are looking for a free method however, the songs on your iPod are in a hidden directory as well. Once your iPod is mounted, from Terminal you can go into the directory. Your songs are in random filename format - so you'd have to rename them manually, or...

cd /private/var/db gives you cd: /private/var/db: No such file or directory ?? That's not good :) Are you SURE you typed it correctly? Those are forward slashes, not backslashes. All lowercase - it is case sensitive.

For a while I have been mulling over whether to get myself an iMac or a Mac Pro ... Recently I came across a discovery. Apple, on their website, lists the iMac and the Mac Pro as "Core 2 Duo", along with the specific speeds. HOWEVER, if you go to intel's website, there are different type of...

LOL fast posts here :)

Try this: 1. Boot into single user mode (Hold down Command+S after chime, until you see a black screen with text) 2. Enter the following at the prompts: cd /private/var/db rm .AppleSetupDone cd netinfo rm -rf local.nidb exit This essentially removes the flag that Apple's setup was finished...

A kernel panic is one of two things basically: Failed/Failing Hardware or the drivers for the hardware. Something on the kernel level would cause a Kernel Panic. My Mac Mini got a kernel panic only once - it came while trying to load USB webcam drivers to replace the Apple ones. I reverted...

Yeah - VLC is by by far the easiest streaming solution - but whether you can do that with a webcam, I'm not sure. As for Quicktime Broadcaster - you don't need QTTS - you can use Darwin Streaming Server. I've set it up on 10.3 without a hitch. I was streaming movie files - not sure how much...
