I discovered it was a network latency issue. After restarting everything on the network from a complete (and I mean every single appliance shut down so that new DHCP leases are created and nothing renewed) it fixed itself. I could not figure out why this fixed and I accidentally stumbled upon...

Does anyone know of a way to Copy / Paste an entry from a web page? I use Google Checkout and I want to ad new customers without retyping them. I can highlight the whole address, copy it, drag it.... but find no way of adding it to address book in ANY sort of automated fashion. Ideas?

I would first look at your router. When this happens, reboot it first next time. After about 1 min, all the network addresses are assigned again. See if your computer will access without a reboot of its own. I had this same problem with a Linksys wireless router. I had to update the software in...

transistor radio???? i think that term has not been used since the death of the vacuum tube in consumer electronics (circa 1972)

That misses my point entirely. I was not trying to violate anything. I switched hard drives, so I switched DVD's - no big deal, no violation. My question was, is the OS that was originally installed on the Core Duo also ready and optimized for the Core 2 Duo - meaning is the kernel already to...

I know it works, just wondering why the Leopard DVD that came with the new mac would not load on the older one of the same type?

I recently had to purchase a new 17" Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo to replace a Macbook Pro Core Duo that had a cracked screen in an emergency. I had previously upgraded the older Core Duo with a 200GB 7200 RPM drive. To get up and running quickly, I just did a hard drive swap. (it turns out the hd...

I have done a search, but have not turned up what I am looking for. I simply am planning a hard drive upgrade in my MBP, and do not want to go thru all the boot camp partition and xp load again. Is there a way to clone the partition easily, so that when I repartition my new drive (keeping the...

Just pick up your trusty Dremel tool and put one of the sanding barrel/discs on it. Headphone jacks (most all of them) have a ton of extra material on them. Just sand back about 1/8 of the material and you don't need any stinking, ugly, extra thing to carry, adapter. I modified my Bose QC2...

I am running 10.4.9 on a Macbook Pro. I have been trying to press the NEW button in the Sharing/Firewall settings, but it does not do anything. I can edit previous firewall settings, but can not add a new one. I have already deleted the preferences file and started from another volume and...

PocketMac (free) lets you sync with a MAC. Blackberry's do support POP accounts if your service provider has BIS (ask them). I have been using a Blackberry (and a Treo for 2 years before that) for about 9 months and have been more than pleased with it. I currently have a 8100 (Pearl) and used to...

Are you talking about iCal? iCal default icon shows the 17th (the day it was created or released i think), that is normal behavior

I am a homebrew Mac IT guy, have been servicing the breed for about 10 years (PC's too) - so yes, I have done all the permissions check etc. - hence the reason for the post

Yes, all updates have been installed....

I am using the user name and password on the remote (which is the same, not that it makes any difference, on all the computers) REMEMBER, I have been sharing files with no problems at all from my Intel Mini, the G5, The G4... its JUST the new MBP. It will read, but not write files.

They are all adminstrator accounts... since it is really only me, on the network, I do not have lower user level accounts. One account, same name and password on all computers

I have a MAC network with a G4 Powerbook, a G5 tower, and a newer Macbook Pro. I have been able to share files fine since the start of time between the G4 and G5. However, the MBP has trouble WRITTING to either of the older macs. I am administrator, and am using administrator login and password...

You can reinstall and keep all your settings, programs, etc.- however, I would advise starting in target disk mode to another mac if at all possible and get everything from the user account to another hard disk, just in case

Well disk space would not be an issue as I store everything on a 2TB Terrastation with an additional one as a backup to the RAID5 system. (ok I am a bit paranoid, but it happened to me before) - But the larger problem with all this is automatically keeping the 2 libraries in sync. If I am...

Has anyone found a way to down sample, down convert, whatever you want to call it an entire iTunes library like iTunes will do with the Shuffle? I have over 80GB of music and growing by the week. Once I start Riping my obscure vinyl it will get even bigger. I am looking for a way to down sample...
