So we've got a few computes that share a single iPhoto library that is store on an external Mac mini. It works fine in that all the computers can access and use the same iPhoto library, but the problem I'm having is say Computer One uploads photos to the library and then I fire up iPhoto from...

So I just got a new Lacie Ethernet Disk mini that I'll be hooking up to my router. I also have a "spare" Mac mini that I thought about using as a file server. Both would just be connected to the router. Which do you think would be faster in terms of access speeds? The Mac mini or the Lacie...

In the past day or so I've noticed that my mouse pointer no longer reacts to certain things or gets stuck on a specific pointer. For instance, in Safari when I mousover links that should change on mouseover (change color/underline/etc)...they don't and the cursor stays an arrow instead of...

I have a set of folders that whenever I restart my machine they get removed (they're in the /tmp directory as they are temporary cache files). Right now I'm manually re-creating those folders whenever I restart. So how could I automatically create the set of folders on startup? I need...

What would be the best way to get PHP, MySQL, Ruby/Rails, and Apache all running happily on OS X?

I've got a Powermac G5 and my wife has an Intel Mac mini. I'm always needing to test website in IE/Win and use the evil that is Virtual PC. But since my wife's mac mini can run parallels, which would certainly run faster, is there a way I could access her computer on my desktop and test sites in...

I have a smart folder in Mail.app setup to show all "flagged" messages. There are only 3 flagged messages (all of which are already read) but the number next to the smart folders shows 7 unread. Screenshot:

I've got a fairly solid knowledge of web programming languages but haven't ever really touched platform specific languages. I'm wanting to build a "site-specific" app similar to the idea used for Pyro. Basically wanting to create a downloadable app that visitors to my sites can download and...

I've had my Dual 2Ghz G5 for over 2 years now and (cringe) have never cleaned out all of the dust that has built up inside...and there is a LOT! So two-fold question: 1) How will (if at all) the dust affect the G5? 2) What's the best way to thoroughly clean it out?

Right now I've got both my Dual G5 and a PC hogging my desk space. The only thing I use the PC for is to do cross-browser testing of websites and run a couple of pretty low memory apps only available for PC that I have to use. Would Virtual PC be sufficient enough for me to ditch the PC all...

I have about 15 accounts setup in Mail that get checked automatically every X number of minutes. But there seems to be a bit of a problem. Of those 15 or so, 5 specific ones have a problem with frequently prompting me for the password for each. But what's even worse is that it won't accept the...

I've got all my apps, files, etc etc on my G5 and have for a couple of years now. This next week I'm going on a fairly long business trip and will be renting a PowerBook for the time I'm gone. Ideally I'd like an exact duplicate of what's on my G5 as far as apps, settings, data, etc etc so that...

I have a dedicated linux server that I rent from a company and was wondering if there's any sort of OS X app to help me monitor the server?
