While that may be true - I've encountered on numerous occasions where the GIMP-Print driver is updated by installing the USB driver. If that fails - we can always start to do testing on the cups setup and verify that it is setup properly. (You'd do that via Terminal, start with 'man cupsd')...

I agree with bobw - trash /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist as the problem may not be dock. You can also try trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow To verify if Dock is restarting, check out its process id and see if...

Okay! First lets clear up your network topography. Server (192.168.1.4) -> D-Link Firewall (192.168.1.2) -> T1 Router There are so many points of failure in this setup. It could be the server configuration, D-Link Firewall Configuration, T1 Router, or even the upstream provider. 1) First...

The fact that Mac OS X runs on top of a Unix-like operating system really helps stave off viruses. In Windows, a computer administrator can access all of the hard drive and change all of the system files. On the Mac, the system files are owned by the system... The user cannot touch. Being...

Its a turnkey solution. You plug it into your TV and boom - you are able to stream media. No fussing with configuration directives or anything like that - it'll just work.

http://www.apple.com/batteries/ its a good read. Essentially - your batteries will not last forever - there is a finite number of 'charge cycles' - once you use them up your battery will stop working very well. You may or may not have known that ... but that may be what it is referring to as...

Sorry - but I have to ask ... If you can get into single user mode: Try running an fsck: fsck -y If you can't get into single user mode - and you have another mac, you can put this one in target disk mode and do the checks from the other computer.

It was OnyX's maintenace and tweaks that reallly bothered me. The ability to mess with the cron jobs and the daily, weekly maintenance that mac does... Fail to do your system maintenance and your system will not run very good for very long. Why they'd even give an option is beyond me.

<Sigh> - guess I'm stuck with Civ 3 until I can upgrade my mac :) I just hope Steve announces new macs before my Income Tax refund comes in .. otherwise I'd be forced to spend the money on something I actually need.

trash your dock prefs in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist If its still doing it there, then run Activity Monitor (Utilities Folder) and see if one program has a higher CPU or Memory Usage. If everything looks fine - you may want to run Disk Utility->First Aid->Verify Disk to rule...

You are going into single-user or maintenance mode because something is afoul. Try this command (type what's after the #, I put the prompt for clarity) -sh-2.05b# reboot and hit enter at that # prompt. your system should shutdown and restart - and see if boots up fine now. If it goes back...

Install the Mac drivers for that printer on your Mac (download from HP's website). Then select the correct driver for your printer.

A) Have you went into Login Options under pref/users/ and made the change, exited out, then went back in to double-check it was still there? B) Does it do it only when you try setting the one account? Try creating a temp account, and setting autologin to the temp account. Does it work? C)...

OnyX scares me.

ISP: SHAW Type: Cable Package: Extreme-I Downstream: 7-9Mbps (depending on time of day - package rated for 7Mbps) Upstream: 1Mbps (rarely drops below that) Quota: 100GB / mo Price: $49.99 / mo (CDN) There is a new package they started offerring, but its too expensive for me: 25Mbps Down / 1Mbps...

*MY* Essential apps: Safari, VLC, Azureus, iTunes, Poisoned, Quicktime Pro, and of course all my games.

I agree - _VERY_ stupid. Get rid of the drive altogether. Ship software on flash drives :)

Absolutely not ... but I know it'd run on a 32MB .. just really poorly :P

You can hook a handset up to the same line as your modem so you can 'hear' the modem dialing. That'd be the test. I'm not sure if iMac has a modem speaker feed - if it does you can turn the speaker on with full volume by using the M3 command: echo ATM3DT18005551234 > /dev/tty.usbmodem These...

Well - all you'd need to do is send the modem a few Hayes commands to make it dial. While I haven't done it - the following information should help: ATDT18005551234,,,,,,,,123456 then wait 4 seconds and issue ATH You could put it into a cron statement, and then just do a echo ATH >...
