    No Internet Connection With Safari, Aol For Mac Osx, Or My Router...

    Are you connected to the wireless router? Are you using any sort of encryption on the router? If you are using encryption, make sure you place a $ symbol before the password key - if you don't, you won't successfully make the connection to the router. If you're not using password keys for...

    Airport Card Problem

    Looks like it's not the card, Bob, but the connection to the logic board that is messed up. Not exactly a do-it-yourself type of job.

    "shut down" and "about this mac" not working

    I've had that from time to time since installing 10.4. Everything in the Apple menu just stops responding. I have no idea what causes it, but logging out will fix it. You might say "But you can't log out, the menu doesn't work!" But you can. ;) Use the keyboard shortcut...

    Serve SSH from MacOS X

    The sshd daemon isn't always running, it's brought up on demand. It could be that the router is timing out waiting for it to respond.

    My 21" Graphite Apple Studio Display Won't Wake Up

    My 21" Studio Display just recently died. I bought it in Jan 2000. Did the picture look like it was vibrating, or twitching? Mine was doing that for a while before it stopped working. Though mine died spectacularly - nice high pitched whining noise, then smoke coming out of the top. It...

    Trackpad with a mind of its own...

    High humidity can cause it to do that.

    iBook power problems

    Try a different wall jack, as well. Sometimes the adapters just don't seem to like certain plugs, for some reason or other.

    Strange display problem

    Actually, that's waiting on the hard drive. Does Disk Utility show the S.M.A.R.T. status of it? It could be that the hard drive is failing.

    Enironment Variables

    That won't work, unfortunately. Sure, all users will be able to access it, but the system won't read the environment.plist file from there and use it. If you are only wanting these variables for the terminal or console, and not GUI apps, then you can add the variables to /etc/bashrc. That...

    where is my environment file for shell?

    Nope, not in there, Bob. /etc/profile /etc/bashrc ~/.profile These are the files (and order) for bash (and sh). If you're using csh as your shell, then the files are: /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login /etc/csh.logout (I use bash, so I'm not sure if csh will read anything in your...

    Hmm, the weekly script does when it's updating the locate database.

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Mr & Mrs Giaguara. Heh, that's a good one. ;) Um, I moved up to Delaware 5 years ago, so you'd have to visit up here for that to happen. Or somehow I'd have to decide to visit Texas at the same time you did. Though that's not a bad idea, I really haven't visited as often as I probably...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Heh, I'll be heading back to Corpus in two weeks. Gonna spend a week down there. My brother is getting married (again). I'll be driving down so I can visit some of my old friends in San Antonio and Austin. BTW, Gia, it's South Padre Island there at Corpus, too. Which is why the main...

    "/etc/master.passwd: No such file of directory" - Please help me!

    Yep, a reinstall is what you'll have to do. The stuff that starts the boot process is located there, as well as system configuration stuff.

    "Voyager 1" leaves solar system

    They're reading the magnetic measurements of the sun, and how far out they went. They're saying that Voyager went out of the solar system because it just recently passed the point where the sun's magnetic influence passed away. It's also measuring cosmic rays. Really, though, the main point...
