I wouldn't go with a partition. If I were you I would use disk utility to capture the disk then save it to your external. That way you can keep multiple backups, save on storage (as you can compress the disk image) and be able to use Apple Restore feature in disk utility if you ever needed to...

To get firewire disk mode hold T on startup, you should get the fire wire logo on the screen. Your Mac is then exactly the same as an external drive and you should be able to connect to another mac and run disk utility. Let us know if that doesnt work!

A disk image will do the trick. Open Disk utility select new blank image from the file menu. Select a size for the image, make this quite big and under format select sparse image. This will make the disk image only as big as it needs to be. So while you may have made the image 1 or 2 GB the...

assign a static ip to your xbox, then using an ftp client just enter the address. The default username is xbox and password is xbox. You can test the connection using finder in the go menu select connect to server enter ftp://xboxIPAddress. You will be able to login, but not modify anything as...

the first version ever of flight simulator by microsoft was made exclusively for the macintosh. I remember many hours playing it on my Mac SE. It was on one floppy disk that the computer started off (startup disk). You could fly about 3 planes and fly between airports and could even do world war...

What a rediculous thread. I would invisage that apple are infact on the verge of giving up on producing hardware. Maybe they will have someone that slaps an Apple Sticker on the beige box as it roll down the production line - not really caring if he gets it straight or not (much like the...

you could use the host file on windows to point any domain name (valid or not) to any ip address - it looks there before it goes to DNS. You can do a similar thing with the host file in mac os x /etc/hosts but i recommend using netinfo. I used to do much the same thing when i was a webmaster for...

speak of which, i just found a really cool feature. Just select a word then hit apple-control-d and a little popup appears attached to the word with its definition from dictionary. Mean!! Word of the day dipsomania

go to system preferences, keyboard and mouse. Then keyboard shortcuts. There is a section called Dock, Exposé, and Dashboard. You can change all the shortcuts there.

i remember a shareway utility that did something similar to this. I cant remember what it was but it may have been a calculator or something. The black box was a hot-point you could click and get a window up. Its a stab in the dark but fire up activity viewer and see if there and any apps you...

webmin. http://www.webmin.com/ Its a web based perl powered admin utility for almost everything. Really easy to use and install. Very powerful. I work for an ISP and we use it to manage 1000s of domains

telnet is a very generic program, able to connect via tcp to any port. Traditional "telnet" runs on a specific port - port 23. Telnet should work. Your ISP may have blocked port 23, but telnetting to another port will work. To prove my point try "telnet www.macosx.com 80", this will connect...

when you connect to a service on whatever port, it does not mean that the data is flowing in or out of your machine on that port. It is simply the port on which the server is listening to at the other end. You do not need to open any ports. When a tcp connection is made a random port is selected...

http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/php.html Thats a how-to guide for PHP and the itunes XML file

if you imported them with itunes you may be able to get the track names by selecting all the songs then selecting the get track names from the advanced menu. I believe this works only if you imported them with itunes. If that fails try doing it album by album.
