    Creative thread: What can I do with a Mac mini Server ?

    I see what you mean. You're right about it just running DHCP. But to say replace your router is a bit deceptive. Using Internet sharing over Airport is sorta backwards. All of your network services take a performance hit, not to mention that it isn't the say as an actual access point. Plus...

    Creative thread: What can I do with a Mac mini Server ?

    The Mac Mini won't work for DHCP as you need dual network cards, unless you went with a USB NIC. There really isn't a "home" usage for a Mac server. Mine runs DHCP, file sharing, FTP, VPN, and hosts my business's, Java based with a MySQL database, web help desk. It's more a "fun" thing for a...

    Display only HD's on desktop

    You can disable the desktop completely, but if you still want your HD icons and whatnot, you can't stop other files and folders from showing up. Just routinely move those items from the desktop to elsewhere. That's what I do.

    Hyperlink to specific email message

    I can't really see why you want to do this. Have to tried dragging the email message out of Mail? It creates a .eml file that open up in Mail.

    Entourage alternative?

    I assume you are looking for the combined features that Entourage has. Look at Mozilla Thunderbird. There are numerous plugins for calendar, contacts and email.

    Burning issue

    I had exactly the same issue in 10.5.8 on my internal drive using my SuperDrive. I also couldn't burn using my external burner. Booted on an external and I could burn fine. Try an archive and reinstall, or a fresh install. Maybe test on an external drive first. I rebuilt to 10.6 and it fixed...

    Using external modem

    Monitor, not modem? ;) I assume you just want to use the external display and not have a dual monitor setup? If so, with the external monitor connected, close you MacBook Pro's lid, and then wake it from sleep. Or, as you are restarting, close the lid. You can open the lid afterwards and the...

    DPKG Snow Leopard

    Why are you trying to host your own repo? Just use an existing one. You'll get better exposure anyway, if you use a repo that is popular or already part of Cydia.

    Atapi/AT/MacBookPro Not Burning DVDs

    I had an issue with my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 no being able to "calibrate the laser for the media." I also had issues using Toast Titanium. But, I was able to burn disc on my MacBook Pro running of an external hard drive. The issue was something with my internal build of 10.5.8. Try an...

    Ignoring ElDiabloConCaca, use Seunti: http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/. There is a 30 day trial. I'm not sure why he had the rant.

    Never again a Mac

    True. I quickly glanced through the posts and didn't realize that non-system files were deleted. A third-party utility needs to be run and see if anything can be recovered. And backing up is a must. I have no sympathy for people when they lose stuff because of lack of backing up. Especially...

    Who grabbed the focus?

    Sounds like is Exposé. F10 shows application windows and "loses focus" if you only have one window open.

    Adobe Reader problem

    You can also disable browser viewing of PDFs, forcing the browser to download it. Mac OS X has built in browser PDF viewing, so Acrobat isn't required. Try removing all traces of Acrobat and see if that works.
