    Boot Camp - Win 7 - Hardware error (harddrive, I'm guessing)

    I cannot help you other than the chkdsk: Run . It should tell you that you have to reboot. When booting, Windows asks if you like to run chkdsk. I rebooted Windows 7 on my PC (dual boot: Windows/Linux) when it was on booting sequence. Windows 7 trashed its files quite hard. I run not only...

    Upload movie

    I use vlc, but I guess there was some license problems and it has been removed from App Store.

    Macbook RAM mysteriously dropped 1 GB

    Well it might be just that, i.e. one of the memory chips has failed. Try the Apple menu (top left) About This Mac, the the "More Info..." button. On left list, select Hardware/Memory. You should get list of memory chips and their status.

    Java not saving Object on disk

    Have you tried to output some object that is serializable for sure, like a double or int? That way you can check where the problem is (you said you made some changes to the class).

    running .java using terminal?

    I think the error message says that you have compiled the file using different compiler to the virtual machine (i.e. javac and java are not of same version).

    Help! - Compare two columns in text files and extract whole row if they match.

    Did you try it? Join needs the files to be sorted based on the key field. So, you have to first sort the files sort -k1 < file1 > file1_s sort -k3 < file2 > file2_s and then use the join join -1 1 -2 3 file1_s file2_s (or use the grep, as I wrote). I guess join is better in memory...

    Help! - Compare two columns in text files and extract whole row if they match.

    Try $ grep -F -i -w -f file1 file2 or if the letter case does not matter, use $ grep -F -w -f file1 file2 Grep command is used in searching files. Normally the search text is given in the command as an argument, but -f file1 makes the file1 as a list of searched text. The "re"...

    accessing another users folders on my macbook pro

    OS X is Unix, so you could try to use user groups. Set both the default user and the other to be on the same group and make the files you like to access to be accessible by the group.

    Need C++ compiler

    To my knowledge you can use XCode to make c++ programs. Since Mac OSX' graphical user interface is meant to be accessed using Objective C, you can only built either console programs or X11 programs. It seems that Eclipse is not suitable for c++ development on Mac (debugger problems).

    problem with compling program by makefile

    It seems that Apple does not have OpenGL files standard place. Google gave some hints, but mainly it seems that directory others call GL is OpenGL in OS X. Either edit the makefile (and programs) or create suitable symbolic link.

    Wed Browser not loading on secure sites

    If Firefox cannot access the files on your PC, it seems the problem is more on the site than on the Mac. Most likely they use some extension on the pages that work only on IE. Since Microsoft has stopped IE support on OS X, I guess your only solution (if you cannot fix the web sites) is to...

    Format via Terminal

    There is a command called diskutil, that might work. Its manual page is several pages long, so you better study it yourself.

    X11 not working on Mac OSX 10.4.11

    Have you checked your .xinitrc file? It might contain some lines that cause X11 to stop before it has fully started .

    keyboard

    Why would files on your folder make the mouse act erratically? How could it know about the files? But, on your question. Start the terminal.app (I don't know how you can do that if the mouse is not working). Type cd rm -i name-of-the-funny-file The "cd" stands for: go to my...

    gcc flags problem

    The problem is not with the flags. The first line "sqrt in -lm" says that you do not have (or more likely, gcc does not find) the math library and the line "ld: library not found for -lcrt0.o" says that you do not the C startup library. Since both are needed for any basic program, most likely...

    Should Apple buy out Microsoft?

    No, but they should buy Nokia. Maybe they'll learn how to build phones that can be use also be used in cold weather.

    problems with terminal

    What said you do not have permission? From your description it seems you try to execute python commands on the terminal prompt. Try following: - Start the terminal app. - Type "which python" Since python comes on Mac OS X, you should get "/usr/bin/python". If you get "python not found", you...

    bash error when terminal opened

    Both error messages look the same: instead of exporting the variable, you are exporting its content. In Unix (and most other operating systems), environment variables are names programs use to refer some text. So when you specify the name DOG to stand for Spot, all the programs know that your...

    Adding Lines to Startup Shell Scripts

    I guess originally there were two shells: sh and csh: sh was for making programs ("shell scripts") and csh was for the command line interface. After that came tcsh (enhanced csh), bash (enhanced sh) and zsh (enhanced everything).
