Assuming the icon you're referring really is the VPN icon and not the wireless signal icon Satcomer mentions, you can remove it through one of the System Preferences. Unfortunately (in more ways that one), I'm not in front of my Mac right now so I can't tell you exactly where - I have to look...

Something that keeps bugging me is that whenever I make changes to an account in Mail preferences there's no way to immediately and explicitly save those changes. Instead, I have to click on another account (or another preference icon) and then click "Save" when the prompt appears. Am I...

Hey Durbrow - I have the same machine you have. I installed from an ISO named ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso. Hope this helps.

I have Ubuntu Desktop - 6.10, I believe - running just fine. I installed it as "Other 2.6 Kernel". I don't recall the exact wording of the option, but hopefully you'll recognize it when you see it.

Could be that the second user - the user that *cannot* access the windows machine - doesn't have permissions to the parallels file (the .pvs file). By default, these files are created in ~/Library/Parallels. In other words, in your user directory. Other users don't - and shouldn't have access...

Google "coldfusion os x" and you'll get many, many results. As of 7.0.1, though, CF ships with a native OS X installer. That should only leave you to deal with the Apache install and that will vary by version (1.3.x, 2.0.x or 2.2.x). Here's one tutorial that appears to cover everything from a...

In linux, you'd be able to restart the dhcpd server to make that happen. Using Redhat it might look like: # sudo /sbin/service dhcpd restart or maybe: # /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart (this syntax may not be exactly right - I usually use the service option) I don't know exactly how it's...

nixgeek is right. I run WinXP (and Ubuntu Linux) simultaneously in separate Parallels windows on my MacBook Pro. I run each of those windows in full screen mode on separate desktops provided by VirtueDesktops. The end result is that I can change the desktop with a quick touch of 3 hotkeys...

Please post the solution so that other folks who may be searching for answers to the same problem can learn. Thanks.

I don't recall doing anything in finder (except selecting photos for sending or displaying elsewhere), but it's certainly possible. What steps should I go through to reimport? I tried one image that I had modified in iPhoto and it didn't work, but maybe I need to try it on a larger scale. Thanks.

Then I guess I definitely haven't done that. I have no reason to believe that any of my software updates have gone wrong. Would there have been any sign at the time I did them?

I have repaired permissions, but I'm not clear on the "Combo Updater" you mentioned. If you're asking whether I've run the software updater, then yes. Otherwise, I need a little more clarification. Thanks for all of your help.

I've restarted both the print server and the Mac in an effort to avoid missing the obvious. Just out of curiosity, though, how can I restart Samba on the Mac without rebooting? Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what I did, here, but in the last month or so I've noticed that entirely too many of my photos no longer display as thumbnails and some won't even display. All I see is a gray, dashed outline. When "editing" the photo I see a bang (!) in the center of the gray, dashed...

I seem to be having no end to my printing troubles. I removed the existing printer in order to try adding it again with the Gimp-Print option, but now OS X won't even find the printer. I can navigate to the network machine on which it resides - I can even mount a share that exists on that...

Hey gsahli - Thanks for the reply. I guess I didn't see enough common symptoms to realize that the issue was the same. My printer is a HP LaserJet (2100). An older printer, unfortunately, but hopefully one that can be made to work. Thanks again.

Although there are a number of "print to windows" threads, I didn't see one that quite matched my problem. I can connect to the server, I can even print to the server, but what gets printed is nonsense. It looks like its printing raw data. Any idea why it's doing what it's doing an how I...

Man, am I an idiot. I got blinded by the beautiful GUI and forgot all of my Linux basics. I can't even imagine why it didn't occur to me to just run the job itself as root. Thank you.

I find myself constantly using the locate command on my new Mac (I'm a switcher, but this seemed like a geekier question) frequently and I'd like to set up a cron job to run locate.updatedb so that my database stays reasonably current. It seems, though, that I need to run that under sudo. Is...
