Although I agree in that this is true in general, it's not entirely true. For instance the folks at Adobe rejoice as they no longer need to write processor specific code, like specific routines for Altivec. All applications that currently have to rely on Altivec in their Mac versions will...

Ignore the reply from barhar above. That method is to convoluted and not necessary. There is absolutely no need to turn off the modem, it isn't involved in the port forwarding settings at all. There's abolutely no point in connecting the Mac directly to the router either, nor to use a cable to...

First off, this forum is for posting instructions on how to do stuff, not questions, so please use another forum next time. Second: there is an application called "VNC" that you can use. It has many incarnations, and the server you need on the Mac can be found here...

Yeah, but not really. IIRC, if you create a sparse image of say, 10 GB, it'll not occupy 10 GB from the start. It'll only be as large as the documents on it, and grow until it reaches 10 GB.

I haven't found an application that will let you lock a folder in such a way as to hide its content (although you can make it inaccessible). A work around would be to create an encrypted disk image in Disk Utility, place a folder on it, and then place an alias to that folder on the desktop. Then...

Easiest way would be to check the configuration of a PC, and copy the settings to your Mac (manually). You need to know if they use dynamic IP, and if so, if they use BootP or DHCP. They could also be using DHCP with static ip numbers, or just plain static numbers without DHCP, and if they...

It might not be the Mac as such that brings your router down, it could be traffic intended for it that does it. I've found that running bittorrent will bring my Airport base station down, especially AFTER a torrent session, when i've shut down the client on my Mac. What applications are...

You can't use 127.0.0.1 as the address to your Mac Web server in Virtual PC. Virtual PC sets up a "virtual NAT" server to handle ip requests from the Win environment. So, the Windows "PC" has its own ip address, which means it'll see "itslef" as 127.0.0.1, not the Mac. You'll have to...

Did you try this? http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18976

That a cable worked well with the old router doesn't mean it's still working. You moved it, and if there was a flaw in it, it might be broken now. Change the cable. It's the same argument as saying "it worked yesterday so it can't be broken now". Well, guess what: it can!

My 2¢w: Run Disk Utility first, and let it repair any problems it might find. Run it at least twice. Next up, I'd have a look at the RAM modules if I were you. It might be that one or more of them isn't up to par. From your description of your PB and the disks, you should be able to install...

I've had this problem myself, as my old job has a very mixed bunch of operating systems. Here's how I solved it then: In Windows 2000 you should be able to connect by adding the webdav folder as a Network Place. It doesn't really work in XP, so there you have to add it as a network volume...

Most of Apple's revenues still come from hardware. They'll not turn into a softtware company in a hurry. Selling the Mac OS for installation on generic computers is not in Apple's best interest, so it is very improbable that that will happen in the foreseeable future. I don't think we'll see...

They'll work, but you're not allowed to do that as the good perfessor stated.

If your PB is an old one, it might need a Firmware upgrade, the only ones that do are the two early G4 models, the 500 MHz and the "Gigabit Ethernet", who need version 4.1.8 and 4.2.9 of the Firmware respectively to work. If you have other devices connected (FireWire or USB), especially...

Sure. Follow the instructions in this document: http://homepage.mac.com/max.elander/.cv/max.elander/Sites/.Public/webdav.rtf-zip.zip The document is a bit old, but the method still works.

Use the Finder Get Info window, and choose "No access" for your folder. It will be inaccessible, until you change the setting in Get Info again. It won't be "safe", since it only requires a simple click in Get Info to undo, but it'll stump newbies. Other than that, there's really not much you...

http://tinyurl.com/ch3cm Most of them are shareware. There's also an outline view in NeoOffice/J and OpenOffice IRIC, and they are free.

They've seriously goofed on most of their games. If you just change the user agent in Safari to "Windows MSIE 6.0", all the games play just fine. Interestingly, you can also play the games if you just ignore the "The Mac platform doesn't support Livescript" window. Keep it open, and just move...

Just open System Preferences, and click on Network. Then select "Airport", to show the Airport settings. If you're using Tiger, you then select your network in the list, and click "Edit" (a small button below the list). In the dialogue box, you check "Show Password". You may have to...
