If you have Tiger, you don't even have to install the VNC server. Just make sure Apple Remote Desktop is enabled in the Sharing System Preference, and check the option that says "VNC viewers may control screen with password" and specify that password. The Apple Remote Desktop VNC service always...

That's the right solution, IMHO, just make sure that each user points their iPhoto library at that folder if that's what it's for....

If you want to edit invisible system files like the .bash_profile file (you have to create it, just follow the same instructions I gave before: 1. Open Terminal 2. do "touch .bash_profile" 3. echo 'the string you got from that site' 4. log out and back in If you're working with...

The "admin" group is group 80, one of the builtin OS X groups and the group specified in /etc/sudoers, so changing its name is a bad thing. It's better to create a new group, and nest the admin group inside, then specify the new group in the ACL. However, I do have to say that the ACLs are...

If you used Fink to install it, try "Fink remove kde-base"

Try creating the .bash_profile file and editing that instead of .tcshrc, that ***should*** work for you. man bash for more info....

I'll agree that NAV (Norton AntiVirus) version 9 had some serious bugs initially, but I can also say that version 10 is much much better and rock solid on our customer's Tiger and Panther systems. While ClamAV is nice, it doesn't remove viruses, just detects them. Intego is unproven, while NAV...

If you're going to upgrade to Tiger, make sure you save your Classic System Folder before wiping the drive, as the retail version of Tiger doesn't include Classic or OS 9, and hasn't since OS X 10.1. Therefore, if you don't have the original CDs, make sure you save your installation, or be...

Try downloading and running my application, Mac HelpMate, to see if there's anything out of the ordinary. I would do the following: 1. repair permissions 2. clean user caches 3. clean caches 4. validate preference files If any of the preference files come up as corrupt, toss 'em.

Import the .movs into iMovie iMovie will let you export the soundtrack as AAC, that should work just fine!

Tiger uses bash as the default shell, not tcsh. If you want to use tcsh, simply type "tcsh" at the command prompt. Then, while in your home directory, simply issue "touch .tcshrc" and then "echo 'limit stacksize unlimited' > .tcshrc Quit Terminal, type tcsh at the prompt, and it should read...

Much like reapplying a combo updater can fix some OS X System-Level issues, it's not a bad idea to download the Front Row 1.0.1 updater from Apple's site and reinstalling it. If anything's corrupt or missing, that might fix it.

I wrote a similiar application for Tiger called Mac HelpMate, and it does most of what Onyx does, but it can be automated to run on a schedule as well. It also has many diagnostic and troubleshooting tools in addition to optimization functions. We OS X users now have an embarassment of riches...

The PM 6500 has two PCI slots, so a ~$15 USB PCI card would do the trick. But why not get one with both Firewire and USB? Sourcehound, author of Mac HelpMate http://www.macworkshops.com/machelpmate ACSA, ACTC, MCP, APP, Mac IT Trainner and MacTech Columnist http://www.macworkshops.com
