So I'm trying to get ical to write to a shared calendar. Apparently this is possible through Prefs->Accounts. However, when I do it, I get a lovely error: Request encountered an unexpected error (domain CalDAV No Calendar Home Error / code 1). Sounds like I gave it the wrong path right...

My iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) has gone on the fritz. I plug it in, and nothing happens. It doesn't show up on my desktop, nor does it show up in iTunes. If I open up disk utility, it doesn't show up there. I have the iPod Reset Utility and it never gives me the chance to reset my iPod because it...

I have some crappy movies I downloaded from publicdomaintorrents.com that I want to put on a dvd so I can watch them on my tv. I don't have iDVD. Is there a way to do this with free software or software already on my mac? The videos are in mp4 format.

I have Apple Remote Desktop Sharing enabled and am allowing VNC viewers. Now my question is how to connect to that machine with a vncviewer and specify the depth. It seems any vnc client I use will only connect at truecolor. I try to specify different depths, but nothing works. Any ideas?

I searched around for this but couldn't find anything. Forgive me if this has been addressed. I'm considering converting my audio files to mp3. Currently the bulk are in aac (m4a) format. If I set the import setting on iTunes to mp3, I can just ctrl-click the songs I want and select...

I've searched the forum and the posts I've found seem to be too outdated to help. I'm trying to set up dovecot on my mac. v1.0-beta3 from darwinports. Anyway, I can get it running, but I can't authenticate. I'm just tryin the basics right now: no ssl, plain login, etc. I just want to...

Is there such a thing as a usb to firewire converter? And if so, would it enable me to boot from and external usb drive (converted to firewire, of course)?

I'm just wondering why this site seems to keep getting wider. Maybe my memory is selective, but it seems that a year or so ago the site didn't demand at 1000 pixel wide window to view the entire page. How about variable width? Not all of us have huge monitors.

I can only make reference to 1.5, as I haven't used 1.0x for quite some time. And, fair warning, the comments I'm about to make are fairly provoking. But I'm hoping to get some passionate responses. That said, I downloaded 1.5rc3 about what, 2 days ago and have been using it exclusively up...

I have a situation where I want to have a string of bits *much* larger than what is allowed (32 bits I believe). I am wondering if there is a way to combine several of these 32 bit units to create one larger unit. I need to be able to to various operations on said unit like bit shifting...

I was trying pith helmet out and I really like the functionality. What I don't like is the instability it causes for Safari. Are there any alternatives that do the same thing?

So I'm looking to buy an HDTV, but I'm having problems picking one out. I go to stores and look at them and go "ooooh pretty...", but I don't know the difference between some things that I probably should know about. Like plasma vs lcd? I've heard that one is better than the other (and...

How can I execute a system command from a obj-c program? I just want to be able to execute something like 'ls -l'. I can't find anything to help me out with this. Ideas?

I have a Canon MP780 attached to my powermac. When I print from that machine, I can select automatic duplex printing and all is well. I have it set up for printer sharing. However, from my powerbook, I don't have the same options when I print, and cannot print duplex. Any ideas on how I...

Back in the day I used VNCThing for no reason other than it would let me set the screen size of the window I was using. That is, on my powerbook, the max res is 1024x768. My powermac is larger than that, so when I try to use a vnc viewer to "see" my powermac, I get a window that is larger than...

First, my stance: I was very unhappy about the switch to x86 in the beginning. There were many reasons for this. For instance, I personally like the fact that the PowerPC chip is somewhat unique in this x86 world. I makes me feel good to be a bit different. Also, I see the move to x86 as...

So I'm moving into a new place and I'd really like some software to help me out. I'm looking to be able to put in the dimensions of the room as well as the dimensions of the furniture and then be able to move the furniture around in the room to see how it fits. Does anyone make anything...
