    Mail left column missing

    Hi Jon, Apple-Shift-M (or from the menubar: View -> Show Mailboxes) should do the trick.

    copy entire mac directory to SMB share & suppress errors ?

    The 'sudo' should take care of permissions. Looks like the fatal error might come from the two files it reports as "missing": mkstemp "/Volumes/research%20training/STEVEN/TECHSTUFF/Backup/RTDB_BACKUP/Application_Material/DB/z__2004-2005_archive/2004-2005/Feinstein...

    Separate icons for slightly different invocations

    There's a good thread here which talks about generating icons from images. The only thing that might not be clear is how to cut-and-paste an icon. All you have to do is click once on your newly created icon file (assuming you use one of the methods in the thread above) and press Command-I...

    Separate icons for slightly different invocations

    One way would be to set up each terminal the way you want and save it as a .term file. So for example, open Terminal.app, set up window colour as blue, text as white, then File -> Save As... making sure that you select "Main Window" in the "What to save" dropdown list, and you can enter the...

    copy entire mac directory to SMB share & suppress errors ?

    Try: rsync -az /Your/Big/Mac/Directory/ /Volumes/Mounted/SMB/Share/Some_Folder/ It will spit out the names of anything it has a problem with but should march on to the end. If you use the "-n" flag it will show you what gets copied and what causes errors without actually copying anything, a...

    Can't find Windows

    I believe you run Parallels, then click File -> Open -> and browse to your "winxp.pvs" file. Then click "Play". There is a "Getting Started Guide" for Parallels here, and you'll find more information in there, specifically Chapter 10 (page 47). Hope that helps!

    Anyone still play rune?

    Off-topic a bit, but nixgeek, did you like 'Oni' from Bungie? It had a nice mix of 'shoot-me-from-a-distance" and up-close-and-personal-ass-whupping. :) Now that would've made an excellent on-line game :D

    VNC Viewer

    Hi Andrew - I set this up a few months back on my powerbook, worked great: First I got SSH Tunnel Manager: http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/stm/ and set that up, pretty straightforward as I recall. Then the latest Chicken of the VNC as nixgeek recommended...

    Configuring Airport extreme

    Are you sure about that? RFC 2865 seems to imply it does exactly that - i.e. provide a method for username/password authentication, among other things... or am I reading it wrong??

    terminal keeps opening script

    Don't know why I'm afraid, unless you changed some Terminal preferences and saved them after executing the script...? When I get home I'll try it out on my powerbook, I'm curious now to see why it happens....

    terminal keeps opening script

    Check your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist file for an ExecutionString and it may well contain the name of your script. Remove it and you should be set. You can issue the command "open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist" in the terminal to open the preferences file...

    Perl help/101

    Exactly right. Although it can be used on the command-line with the "-e" flag it's much more convenient to save your programs in a script and then execute them. In a terminal do "man perlintro" for an introduction, although it's easier to read on the web at...
