Thanks Zammy, I trashed that org.videolan.vlc.plist, restart but the result is still the same. I use Quicktime for almost all my media and Mplayer for the stuff quicktime can't play, but VLC was supposed to be my default dvd player since its not too fussy about regions and I play a...

Don't mean to barge in like this, but maybe you guys have an idea on whats going on: VLC runs great on my powerbook(12",g4 867, 640MB ram, 10.3.5) but It keeps giving me errors on my powermac( g5, 2.0DP, 4GB ram, 10.3.5). DVD playback has no sound, and some xvid files gives out error...

Linux? I think Linux is quite good and I dont think it's too difficult for an average user to get to grips with it. I'm not a computer science major nor am I a tech wizard of some sort. When I expressed an Interest to learn how to use a computer to a friend ( who's a sys admin), she...

I dont know of anyway to remotely start a machine, but what you can do is to let the computer sleep when not in use and set up the user accounts as such that the Sleep, Restart and Shutdown buttons are hidden(in system preference> users> login option) . As for power failures, you can set the...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, Zammy, I did that apple+i but nothing appears under owners, no locks or anything except "You can only read files" It seems mslifkin might be right, I played that google game and found on some sites that writing on NTFS is still limited. I'd love to...

Hi, I brought back a 200GB USB 2 External drive from work. It shows up on my desktop ok. and I can access the files but somehow I can't copy anything to the drives. It says I don't have permission. when I "get info" for that drive it says that I can only read the files and gives me no...

Oh! well, I think I'll leave things as it is for now, since I need the faster file transfer more than a wireless LAN, and I "forgot" that I also have 2 Linux workstation to deal with if I decide to go wireless. Thanks for all the suggestions and help

Hi Zammy-Sam, u haven't been online for a while. I'd like to have just the wireless router handle both the LAN and the WAN but after reading this thread I found out that wireless 802.11 is not as fast for file transfers( local LAN), so I thought one way was to have both the wireless and the hard...

Ok, so I can keep the airport and my local LAN seperate. If I open safari it will use the airport to get online and If want to transfer files it would use my local LAN. I must be sure before I fork out money for the airport base station thanks

Great info on wireless stuff. I was thinking of getting an airport base station but now that transfer rates are slow (even with extreme), I'm not so sure. Can I somehow still use airport just for internet and at the same time use my exixting 100baseT LAN for file transfer? or is this...

I know how this guy feels :D good for him.

Maybe you should enter the DNS addreses given by your isp in the built in ethernet settings of your G5(under DNS Servers) if you have not done so and set your iMac as a router. :D

You can try sharepoints http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12512 bobw recomended this on some earlier post and I find it easy to use

The only reason I'd want VPC 7 is to run MS Word 2000 and an old PC game Alpha Centauri and use IE once in a while in XP. I've already changed most of my software licences to OS X. Is Word and AC considered too processor intensive for VPC 7? I have a P4 1.5 but its now running Suse 9.1...

I had the same problem with an external USB 2 Hard drive. Won't show up on the desktop of my DP 2.0 G5 even when the system profiler sees it. After leaving it hooked up for 3 days(after restarting a couple of times) and hoping for a miracle to happen, it still wouldn't appear. It finally...

I like Apple's Pro application, I'm already using FCP and Shake, the only thing that's missing now is a 3D app like Maya. OS X and G5 is perfect for heavy 3D Work. and maybe down the line ..i3d, thats light enough to work on my 12" PB.

I have a 12" 867mhz Powerbook. This is the only trouble free computer I've ever owned...so far so good.

I'm calling it quits too. I'm gonna try it with my 12" PB when I get it back, get all data out and format it from my mac. everyone, thanks for your help and suggestions. *acidtuch10, I see you're running Zeta RC2 OS, how is it?

Let's see, in the malay dialect ( I'm from K.L., Malaysia) 1. Cinta 2. Sayang Might be more but those 2 are the most common

It uses an external power source, It's one of those HD where I bought the HD seperately and then bought the casing that comes w/ a small fan, USB 2 connections and the power supply unit.
