Hi there, I have a Mac running 10.3.9 (not server) with File Sharing and Windows sharing enabled. I have about 3 macs and 12 or so PCs that need to connect to a share on the mac. Does this exceed my available number of file sharing connections? If so, is there anyway I can increase...

thank you.. it finished over night.

Hi there, My computer (G5 2.5) is kernel panicking frequently on shutdown. Could someone please take a peek at this log and let me know if anything looks fishy?

Hi, I needed to re-index my hard drive, and it gets to a certain point and then the indexing status bar gets stuck at a point that says "About 2 hours remaining" and the status bar hasn't moved for about 6 hours. Does anyone have any advice for me ? I don't see any activity in the...

I know this is simple to do by Print/Save as PDF... but I have quite a few docs emailed to me and would very much like to automate the process of converting them to pdf files. Is there some sort of drag-n-drop utility that will pull this off... or, do you think it's a job for applescript??

Is it possible to borrow some processing power from your 2nd mac ? I looked at xGrid but it seems you need at least 3 macs to setup a small grid. Are there any relatively simple ways to do what I'm looking to do. (something like iGrid !!)

Is there any way I can make it so that a triple-click will select not a whole line of text but rather, just the word I'm clicking on as well as the word to the right of it? *** so_triple_clicking_on_this also_selects_this but_not_this ***

I'm so silly.. I was on 10.4.7 before and just now updated to 10.4.8 on this machine. whoa... the whole site just changed to NoWonder what the ?

I upgraded to 10.4.9 and that fixed it.. just curious.. where is the index kept.. is there a way I can look at it using a text editor or database management program? thanks for the help!! :)

thanks.. but I don't think I was clear.. Spotlight is not finding ANYTHING.. not even stuff it was finding only yesterday.. it finds nothing.

Yikes... 10.4.8 is not finding any files on my computer.. neither Spotlight nor doing a manual find Apple-F (even with file type set to "any") will find files that I know exist on this volume. It's not pulling up ANY files at all in fact in the results window. I tried repairing...

Hi there, I tried to search the forum for "vnc" and it returned no results.. I find that odd (if that is because of the minimum # of letters for a search term, is there a way around that?) I'm writing to ask if anyone is successfully controlling a mac using it's built in VNC compatibility...

Very often, because I've disconnected from VPN or connected to VPN.. a mounted shared volume will no longer be accessible.. the 10.4 system will often hang for quite a few seconds (almost a minute) while it tries to resolve the share... eventually, the system gives me the option to disconnect...

hey thanks.. yeah.. it is a bit harder to find something though when you have absolutely no idea what you're looking for. Even with this app, I have no idea how to approach decode the user/pass from that web page.

Hi, There's an interesting contest here: http://www.defcondelta.com Could anyone tell me how one would go about trying to decrypt the password ? (I'm just curious to know more about how one might tackle this problem.. I looked at the source code and there is a decrypt function.. but I...

Hi, I would love to have something like iDisk for network backup, but only... backed up to a computer located in my home network from anywhere I happen to be with my laptop. I'd also like my work computer to be synced with that same set of files. Does any product offer something remotely...

OK thanks.. I haven't been to the location yet... my friend was telling me her problem and I'll go visit her to help with this. She may already have it connected correctly, but reports that the PC (w/ a linksys card) fails to get internet even though it's connected. She also said it...

Oops.. sorry, I think perhaps I was unclear.. what I want to do is Share the wired internet signal coming in from the wall into an iMac with an airport card.. create a wireless network and share the internet signal with 2 other laptops. you message confuses me because there is no...

Hi, Can an iMac share an internet connection to 2 computers (1 a mac laptop, and one a Windows PC) ? If so, is there any trick to this ? or any suggestions to make the PC live happily in this environment.. currently the PC will connect to the network but not get internet. thx. :) beta
