I'm setting up a colleague's new MBP running Mavericks and having a hard time getting the webserver working properly. Following various posts elsewhere I got MySQL installed and running, enabled PHP in httpd.conf, allowed access by "all" in that file as well, but when I created a phpinfo.php...

I'm using an Iomega Storcenter IX2 NAS. When I create folders on it from my Mac, our user on a Windows XP can't write to those folders. When I browse to the folder on the Windows machine and look at properties, it is set to Read Only. I can uncheck this box (well, it has a green square, not a...

In my old home office I was using an old Powermac G5 running Tiger (not server) as a local fileserver, connected to our network via a gigabit switch. I was able to work directly on files off the server - pretty big photos, Photoshop documents, zipping/unzipping files - with very little perceived...

This is driving me crazy. My sidebar links to various locations on our office server keep not working - they just reload the current finder window. Links to the local machine do work. After a restart the remote links work again - but eventually, at some point, for some reason, they stop working...

I upgraded my Interarchy 9 to 10 late last year. The new version of this venerable FTP program looked great, but was missing certain key features that version 9 had. I emailed the company several times with no response, and now, 6 months later, there appear to have been no updates to the...

A web dev client of mine was complaining about the site we built her, and sent over some screenshots. It appears her font size is about two sizes larger than "normal" in both Firefox and Safari. I had her reset it to normal in Firefox - no change, apparently the setting wasn't made in Firefox...

I've set up a letterhead template in Word for a client. It has her identity graphics in the header and footer, and the graphics run right up to the edge of the page (bleed). She uses this template, adds her own letter content, then prints to PDF using the OS print dialog. She sends these to...

I want to set up secure file sharing of my home G5 (running Tiger), to be accessible from outside the home. I'm not looking to to VNC - I want to be able to mount my home drive to access files stored there. I don't want evildoers to be able to sniff my password or intercept my files. I have a...

Here's the story: 1. Got new Mac Pro with Parallels and XP Pro preinstalled. (Disks included) 2. Installed all apps, updated everything, moved my life to this machine. 3. Discovered it was damaged in transit, so a replacement is being sent out, also with Parallels and XP Pro...

My wife's new Mac Pro arrived today and the bottom rear "handle" (actually the "foot") is a bit dented in the middle. Looking in the box it appears the box took a hit there, munching the styrofoam a bit and denting the foot of the mac. It starts and runs fine as far as I can tell. I reported...

Just got a new Mac Pro and manually downloaded 10.5.2, installing in safe boot mode. After rebooting in safe boot mode (while still IN safe boot mode) I ran software update to install the other 14 items that hadn't yet been done. When this was done, I clicked "restart" and the next thing I...

I use Retrospect to back up (with compression) to an external LaCie drive with both FW 400 and FW 800 interfaces. Right now I'm using a long-ish (15') FW 400 cable since I keep my backup drive secured away from my desk. When I'm doing a full backup of 300+ gigs it takes quite a while. I was...

I'm running a stock G5 dual-core 2.3 mHz with 2 GB of RAM and I just got Quake 4. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to play it at any kind of reasonable display quality. At anything above Medium quality, low resolution it gets really jerky. The video card is, I believe, a GeForce 6600 with...

playback" (sorry - your subject line wouldn't allow a complete description) An update or two back iTunes started doing this thing called "determining gapless playback" in which it counts to some number out of some other number (e.g. "Analyzing 2 of 383") and then freezes with the spinning...

I decided to make my PC more secure by adding a password to the guest account and my own account. I also said to make my home folder private. Now when I try to log on from the Mac (OS 10.3.8), I double click on the alias in the Network window (Finder), get the dialog with the (MS) network...

Everyone keeps telling me how cool Tiger is, but the number one reason I'm not upgrading is, I have about 10 MySQL databases (I'm a developer) all set up in MySQL and I'm afraid of having to recreate them when I upgrade. Is there somewhere these databases live that I could just move them over...

I'm relatively knowledgeable about many things technical, but my security knowledge is weak. I set up mysql & php (to run an application I developed) on a client's OSX 10.4 (tiger) server. Now they're thinking about opening a port to the outside world (using port forwarding on their dsl...
