Try http://www.macosx.com/forums/ and see if it resolves for you. Update: It's some kind of funky behavior with Firefox, maybe the latest nightly, not honoring a 301 redirect.

Does anyone know of a way to reset the page ins/outs data which one sees in Activity Monitor without a restart? I'd like to know which work patterns jack this up for me. I have somewhere on this Mac a utility which did this (and more) but for the life of me I can't find it and I can't...

Very recently Little Snitch has started picking up this request and I've not seen it before. Does anyone know what this is? The warning is shown in the attached image. Edit: When I first saw this a few days ago it was asking for permission to access a domain name rather than an IP address...

I seem to remember seeing a method for switching my display (Cinema Display) for left to right imaging here, i.e. a projection type view. Can anyone remember that?

This is what I’m getting from Disk Utility... Do you see what it does? It’s setting the ownership and permissions one way then immediately switching them back. This has not always been happening and I’m curious about it. It doesn’t seem to cause any problems. OS 10.4.11

What I need is to lock the keyboard as if the machine is sleeping but not put the machine to sleep. If it sleeps my ssh session is killed. My cat is a perverse creature and she knows I hate it when she walks on the keyboard so she does it and she’s got two to choose from. Last night she did a...

I got fed up having to put in my password every time I log into my servers. I have a hot key but it’s still annoying. So I’m trying public key/private key authorization. At first I used ssh-keygen on my Mac (many times) to generate the keys and copying the public keys to the server...

I’ve been plagued by this problem for the last ten days or so and I’ve done everything I can think of to stop this. So far nothing has worked. It always running when the machine wakes up from sleep. Any ideas?

I needed an alias from a PrefPane in my user area. I figured a symlink would do. So in Terminal I did a ln -s with the proper user directory and all looked good, it appears. But the system threw an error when I tried to click it. It offered to repair the “alias” or delete it, so I opted to...

I’m running 10.4.11 and we know the launch services database has its problems. When I (or you) use the contextual menu item to choose which app to open a file with you’ll often see duplicates. The solution is to rebuild the launch services database. I dislike the warnings that pop up after...

Has anyone taken a Bluetooth dongle and connected it to a powered USB hub as the input port? Does it work? I guess the big question is – would it be discoverable? Would it receive power from that port?

I was notified of the update and I let it run but I was too busy yesterday to run the apps I normally use, Word and Excel, to see if much had changed. Did anyone find problems or improvements? It seems like Excel and Word start up a little quicker as they did after the last update.

I've been poking through the system files and folders trying to find the image file for the blue apple in the menu bar (top left). Does anyone know where this image lives?

I just upgraded back to QuickTime 7.04 after downgrading to make Flip4Mac work. I upgraded to the latest version of Flip4Mac then let Software Update do the upgrade to QuickTime 7.04. Now my Desktop is a blank slate. The Desktop folder exists and it's complete (all the right stuff is in...

I was removing a program earlier today and I noticed that in my accounts myname/library/preferences there are quite a few (maybe 15) empty folders with garbage names. Just a few characters like {DX, |\, è‰\, ˇÙX and others with accented characters followed by a backslash...
