    Newbie with problems

    I don't belive that it will allow you to play wma files with any sort of DRM on them.

    VPN/Networking

    You should ask your admins at work which protocols they're using on the Server. Is the office all Mac or a mixed environment? If they're using Windows File Sharing then you'll be connecting using samba (ie, the smb:// prefix). If they're using AFP then you'll use the prefix afp:// (which is...

    What Changed You???

    I had a MacPlus as a kid. In high school I had Windows 3.1. I couldn't name my files anything coherent. It really, really upset me. :D

    New to Mac and need some help

    This link has a download of Aladdin Expander (ie Stuffit) 5.5 as a .hqx file. It'll fit on a floppy (494KB) and you should be able to uncompress it with your web browser.

    New to Mac and need some help

    Okay, if you're using System 7.5 then Open Transport is definitely installed and you should have no problems networking it. For Ethernet connections you need to configure the TCP/IP control panel. For dial-up connections you need to configure the TCP/IP, PPP and Modem control panels...

    New to Mac and need some help

    Wow, that's a pretty old system. Hope you don't judge the modern Mac experience based on a system from the early 1990s. ;) 1. I don't believe that Mac OS 7.1 came with Open Transport pre-installed. You'll have to install it yourself. I believe that Open Transport 1.2 will run on 7.1, but...

    Compatible files between PC and Mac

    As someone else asked, what file types are you talking about? Most should be cross platform, but one problem you may be having is if the file extensions aren't being appended... (ie, you have a text file but there is no .txt at the end). More info would be helpful. One of the problems you...

    cut files / rename files

    I found this shareware contextual menu plugin: Move Items X. Haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it. I'd like to be able to do this from the keyboard as well.

    Computer Does Not Wake From Sleep

    Just had the privilege of reinstalling my Dual 1.8 GHz G5 with system 10.4. (thrashed my HD, corrupted the volume header file, recovered it but decided to wipe the drive and start fresh after removing data files). The new installation is thus: 2 partitions: 1 20GB system partition 1...

    ...poking around and the Core Macs? Intel Macs? (what do we call these things?) are using HFS+.

    Efi

    I was reading up on EFI on wikipedia and came across this statement: If this is _true_ what does this mean for HFS+?

    cut files / rename files

    I'd love to see them add the functionality to the contextual menu. But let's just call it Move (the *nix command is mv afterall (ditto would just be silly)).
