Does anybody know how I would go about forcing preferences to be pushed out immediately from an OD server? For instance, on the Windows side, AD will force a group policy update every hour +/- a half hour. Can OD be set to update its policy (user/group/computer preferences) in such a way? Or is...

OK, so I have an XP box and a powerbook...i have file sharing set up on my xp box, and normally, i can mount it no problem on my powerbook. when i first set it up, i went to go->connect to server->smb://computername. once it was mounted, i dragged the icon from the window down into the dock to...

Hey guys...this is just a general question, really. Can macs (new or old) boot from an external drive that is USB2? I thought I remember seeing something about only being able to boot from firewire, but looking at this new MacBook Pro, it doesn't have a FW800 port on it...and if FW in general...

so i tried to search for a problem i'm having, and i can't seem to find the search link anymore...am i being a total knob, or has that function been removed? perhaps it's because i haven't posted in a while??

OK so I have this muxed mpeg1 file that i want to put on my webpage and have it stream. So I loaded it into QT Pro, and went to Export Movie to Hinted Movie. Put it up on the site with the embed tags, and.....boooooo, it doesn't stream (i know it's not real "streaming"), but rather waits for...

Hey guys..>I'm trying to set up my jabra bt200 bluetooth headset to work with my mac (osx 10.4.2, 15" powerbook 1.67ghz)...and I can get it to pair, but it won't stay connected for more than a split second. this is a problem i've seen a few people have, looking around on various forums and...

Hey all. I'm having trouble. A friend of mine asked me to make him a copy of a DVD he had...so I stuck it in my drive, loaded up Toast, and proceeded to burn. It copied over, but didn't play in my dvd player. Then I noticed it was a 2.6gb disc he had asked me to copy, and I copied it onto a...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a brainfart over here...because I can't seem to figure out how to create a keyboard shortcut to launch a certain application. For instance, if I want to set a keyboard shortcut apple+shift+F to launch Firefox or something...is there a way to do that, or does it...

is there any way to get a keyboard shortcut set to bring up the energy saver in the system preferences? is there already one??

so i just got firefox, and i notice that when i use my two-finger scrolling trackpad on my powerbook, the horizontal scroll seems to be used as back/forward...is there anyway to stop this and just have it scroll as normal?

hey, i'm sure it's been asked a thousand times...but oddly enough, i searched and couldn't find anything before 2005...nothing of relevance at least. So I was considering getting a firewire hdd, but wanted recommendations on brands and stuff. I want it to be bootable, and around 120gb in size...

So, I'm on 10.3.9, and I forwarded myself three files, two doc's and a pdf, to my gmail account. when I checked my gmail account, there were 5 attachments. a copy of the PDF and a copy of one of the docs (the only one i edited...i also edited the PDF before forwarding it). But the copies were...

Hey all...I'm looking at getting a new printer. Hopefully something in the $100 range, so nothing too extensive. All I'd really like is for it to print nice photos, and text...not planning on opening up a photo lab or doing any extremely fine high-res work or anything...the biggest thing would...

So, I have this .wmv file (a bit over 300mb) that I wanted to convert to QT format so I can burn it to DVD through iDVD. So I got the Flip4Mac player that will allow me to play .wmv files in QT. Got the .wmv in QT, clicked on Export, set it up to export it to a Quicktime movie, and let it...

when I repair disk permissions, it goes through and finishes up and at the end it requests the admin username/password to make changes to DiskMaintenance or something like that. So I tried entering the admin info I always use when installing something (my password is blank because there's not...

So...I know I can import a track from CD as .wav with iTunes, and I can chop it up in iTunes...but is there any way to convert an mp3 -> wav? i know there are programs that do it for pc's...and i'm not really worried about quality loss, as I'm going to be using the wav as a ringtone (phone...

So I think I'm going to make the switch in the upcoming weeks, and was planning on doing an Archive & Install, as opposed to a straight Upgrade. From what I've read, it's somewhat like a clean install, but it creates a folder "Old System"? And when I'm done, I can drag my programs back over to...

I have a 15" PowerBook with a Superdrive, and I was wondering how I would go about copying/making/burning bootable DVDs. For instance (ONLY EXAMPLE, I'M NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY DO IT), if I wanted to make a copy of the Tiger DVD (and I only use this as an example because it's the only bootable...

Hey all...I have a few apps I'm concerned about before I upgrade to Tiger (OfficeX and Photoshop CS, for instance). I think I've read here and there that they need updates for them to be Tiger compatible? Is there a list (maybe even on Apple's site?) of common applications that need to be...

Hey...trying to ultimately burn a WMV file to DVD (for viewing on a DVD player, not data) using iDVD. Is there a conversion utility (or any way) to convert a WMV file to a QuickTime file? Or maybe even a program that will do a straight burn of a WMV to DVD? Friggen Windows.
