Xerox Phasers have been a godsend to my company. If I have my way, I'll never give HP another dime til I die. I've logged at least 12 hours in the last 2 months on the phone with HP's "support"... How they even call it that without lawsuits is well beyond me. Suffice to say, I heart Xerox...

Welcome, Cimmerian! Not having any prior experience with Veritas, I can only say that if it will clone data bit for bit to a new volume, then no, there won't be any permissions problems. If it doesn't, that standard tricks of the trade here are SuperDuper! and Carbon Copy Cloner. They're free...

I'd take it into the Apple Store and let them know what's up. It could be a number of things, but one thing's for sure, you brand new MacBook Pro should not be having these kinds of problems. Opinion time: I think Apple has really started a trend of lax quality standards in their overseas...

Quit Safari, then do a search for com.apple.safari.plist and move it to the trash. Restart Safari. In most cases, that'll take care of it.

Can't use a Powerbook as another computer's monitor, no, But the TV output is easy. You'll just need to pick up one of these which will then give you the option of using composite video or s-video to your TV.

If it's crashing at login, then reboot holding down the Shift key after the startup chime until you get to the login screen. That'll get you into safe mode and won't load any third-party applications or services at login. Make sure you remove anything in the /Library/StartupItems (at the root...

Go here and scroll down to "Supported Graphics Cards" (section 4.1). The GMA950 is listed.

The colors are a lot sharper on laptop displays with glossy screens. You just get better contrast without the matte coating, is all.

If your honda has a card reader, then all you would need to do is get a usb card reader for your Mac. Just that simple.

From what I've been reading, the dispute claims the patent was granted before the iPod was released.... but not before it was developed. I'm sure Apple can just turn in their R&D documents to show that the interface was developed LONG before Creative was granted a patent for it.

Success! So here's what I came up with: tell application "Finder" activate display dialog "Enter your name:" default answer "Your Name" set computerName to text returned of result end tell tell application "System Preferences" activate set current pane to pane...

Definitely a good start, BobW, thanks for introducing me to that site! The solutions you linked to require some tweaking to do exactly what i need, but definitely something for me to start playing with. Thanks for showing a man how to fish, BobW. Hopefully I'll manage to learn something for...

We often have temps in the office for data entry purposes. Our standard policy has been to name the temp's Macs as "TempMac1", "TempMac2", etc. This creates a problem with FileMaker, since it saves changes to the database as "last edited by _____" where _____ is the Computer Name as set in...

You could embed the sound in a flash file. For example, MySpace's music player is flash-based, and you can't download the song unless the artist posts a "Download" link. There are free flash-based music player out there for you to use, like MusicPlayer. Check it out. There is also a way to...

Also, using spaces can cause issues with some more archaic software scripts. Take eCopy Server (a PC hooked up to a copy machine that scans documents and emails them to you as a pdf). If you name the outgoing pdf with a space, (my file.pdf) it emailed you "my", dropping everything after the...

Another thing to try. Delete all instances of FileMaker on the offending computer (prefs and all) and copy over the FileMaker 6 Application folder from another machine (intel or not, won't hurt). Since FileMaker is self-contained within its folder, we've often installed it on multiple Macs...

Ah, shame. Is this an isolated incident? Are there other Intel Macs running FM6 just fine? I ask because I can't find any documentation suggesting this is a widespread issue. The one thing you didn't list in your reply is the uninstall/reinstall. And also, it comes to mind, make sure you...

Hate to say it, but it's time to Archive & Install from the system disc. Changing shortnames is NEVER a good idea. The system recognized the original shortname as the admin. Once it was changed, it basically created a new user, which doesn't have the "Allow user to Administer this computer"...
