I have an APX base station. My network currently has a linux box serving a few shares via samba to linux, winXP and OS X clients. While everything works fine, I would like to dump the linux server b/c my home office is just getting too hot with all those computers in there! I have been...

1) Valid question. Answer is they were so-so. There have been a few wrinkles ironed out with the latest catalyst drivers (and a few more added), but my primary problem is with a couple specific apps that the radeon drivers do not agree with. Generally speaking, I noted dodgy performance...

I have Tiger running with the last beta version of bootcamp on an Aluminum iMac. I have slightly static sound when booted into XP. I understand that's a common problem, and wanted to know if it has been resolved with Leopard? Also, are the Windows graphics drivers any better with Leopard?

Anyone try Office 2004? My office relies on Office and VMware fusion to run Quickbooks premier, so those are two of the main apps I care about . . .

Just want to hear what software you believe does not work in Leopard for reasons unknown: <EDITED TITLE TO MAKE THREAD MORE SPECIFIC> Edit from Jason: Please report any compatibility problems and/or bugs you have with Leopard here. If you have more indepth questions, please feel free to post...

Haven't seen the answer to this (yet), but with the new Mac Pros being released, anyone know if nVidia and/or ATI are going to have unified drivers like the Windows world, allowing us to stick, e.g. a nVidia 7900 GT, into one of the new boxes?

My dad called me this morning. Has a 1.8 Dual G5. Won't boot at all - pushing the power button results in it flashing on for about 1/2 second then shuts back off. I'm thinking it's either a bum power supply or a capacitor is bad (a problem on some older pc components). Any thoughts? I...

Thanks for the tip guys. The miniStack is indeed pretty cool. I have a web/mail/dns server going on the athlon as well, but I'll be foregoing all of that except for the mail server (using courier IMAP), so it's my hope that I can set up a couple of samba shares, a printer share (using both...

I currently have debian running on an Athlon 2100 system for use as a combination web/file/print server. Wife has an iBook and I have a win2k desktop system. As I need another computer at my office, I'm thinking of getting a Mac mini for use as a server at home + an external 200gb hard...

Nevermind. Only part of the site says 10.3. The main part of the Apple store site says 10.4

I'm looking into a new powerbook, and the website is telling me they ship with Panther, not Tiger. Anyone know if the site just hasn't been updated yet? I watched Jobs keynote yesterday, and he intimated that new macs were shipping with 10.4 Thx, Matt

I've been trying for 3 months to get my ibook to print to a samsung ml1450 that is hooked up to a samba server running cups. The printer never showed up as an option. Lately I don't even get a choice of printers anymore. I get a spinning wheel for 1-2 minutes while my mac "searches for...

That's what I thought. However, the application I referred to above does have a "create thumbnail and save" option. It might be for it's own internal thumbnail. . . Any idea why the os is unable to generate a thumbnail for a fairly large tiff image? I figure this raw converter program that...

Since upgrading computers to ones running OSX, I and my father, a retired yet borderline professional photographer, have appreciated the OS's ability to display image files as thumbnails in a directory. However, we've stumbled across a problem that neither Apple nor Canon seem able to figure...

I think I was using the wrong terminology - sorry for being unclear. When I try to add a printer using the print utility, it doesn't let me select the proper printer. That's the point where I get the "client-permission" error. I only resorted to all those other options because the print...

Thanks for the reply. Things seem to be set up appropriately on the server. No firewall issues, and cups is set to allow all requests from the local ip's (192.168.1.*) and subnets (255.255.255.*). Additinally, the printer is selectible on windows and linux computers as a SMB printer (I do not...

Hey all (first post): I am having an impossible time setting up a networked printer in OS X. I had it working successfully until recently. Things you might need to know: 1) iBook running 10.3.5 2) printer is Samsung ML1450 attached to a debian (sarge) server, running samba 3, CUPS...
