    How can I use this Windows command (for VLC) in OSX Terminal?

    iPhone coming to Ireland

    Good news, and of course this being Ireland there's a catch (besides the cost!): directly from the O2 website: *** Visual voicemail is not currently supported. D'oh!

    possible to clone both OSX + Bootcamp at once?

    If you're comfortable with the terminal, dd might be one way to go - it will make an exact (for better or worse) byte-for-byte copy of an entire device if you so desire. I've done this with Linux drives with multiple partitions, including the partition map etc. Works fine. I haven't needed to...

    smb problems

    Create a text file /etc/nsmb.conf containing the following 2 lines: [default] minauth=none You might need to restart, but it's a while since I did this... This works on OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

    Automator wildcard?

    In automator there's no direct way as far as I know, although you could string two "rename"modules together... But you might also look into using the terminal. There's various ways of doing it, some decent examples here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20010509130450691

    Using Terminal to start application

    How about the "open" command? A text-based command (say, "top") will open automatically in a new Terminal window, e.g.: open `which top` You can also override the default application with -a, if for example some other app tries to open your program: open -a "Terminal.app" `which top`

    ssh, keys, and faiing host-key verification

    I don't think you need to generate new host keys at this point. This is how I'd start debugging the problem: Select 2 machines, we'll call them 'server' and 'client'. On the client, generate a pair of keys without a passphrase: ssh-keygen -t rsa Copy id_rsa.pub onto the server and...

    Processes started in terminal end when terminal closed

    To get the job to run in the background (and return a prompt) do: ./agent.be & Now if you quit the terminal the process should stay running. You can verify by opening a new terminal and: ps -ax | grep agent.be As to having it run automatically at boot time, did you try rebooting the...

    iSale 5 quit immediately after launch

    Ahah, very useful! So the app fails to load a dynamic library in a framework called CalendarStore and this appears to be a feature of Leopard (OS X 10.5). Although iSale 5 is supposed to support OS X 10.4 as well (see this anouncement) I wonder if it in fact requires a feature only available...

    iSale 5 quit immediately after launch

    From the equinox.com support site: Does this help at all or does it still quit immediately? I notice that equinox.com list iSale 5 as "coming soon". Do you have a beta or pre-release version?

    AppleTV Release 2

    As I understand it, the (free) update to the original Apple TV should come out about the time the new ones ship, in about 2 weeks from now.... http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/01/15/apple.tv.take.2/

    AT&T as a service Provider?

    Just a thought, get the cheapest prepaid AT&T pay as you go or whatever, and try it out for a week or so? Maybe more trouble and $$$ than it's worth although you'd get a pretty good idea on coverage where it's important for you...

    Keychain "login" cannot be found to store "Safari"

    Try moving your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist to your Desktop or somewhere else (i.e. don't trash it) and logout/login, see if that helps. If not you can try moving aside your login keychain (~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain) and logout/login, and then a new one will be...

    Keychain "login" cannot be found to store "Safari"

    *applause* for reporting the fix so that others can benefit, instead of just a "oh I fixed it, bye" type of thing. Thank you! :)

    Any way to re-add a menu in IB?

    Those disabled "Special Menu" buttons seem to be a bug, they're always disabled (IB 2 anyway). But here's a workaround that worked for me (IB 2.5.4, Xcode 2.4.1): (1) Open existing nib file in IB (2) Fire up Xcode if it's not already running (3) Create a New Cocoa Application Project in XC...
