    Maxtor Firewire HD broke my Tiger and how I fixed it

    Hi, Here's a warning and a solution to a Tiger problem I found earlier today. I installed Tiger on my iMac (angle poise one). Installation went fine till reboot when it started with a Kernel Panic. Plams got a bit sweaty, but I did the old favourite of unplugging all my extra hardware...

    Tiger blinded by Windows

    Ok, I've been tinkering with this on and off all day now here's what I have learned: I can connect to Windows 2000 machines fine though SMB I can connect to Windows 2003 machines fine through AFP (as long as I'm running the Microsoft services for mac etc) This is almost exatly the same...

    Tiger blinded by Windows

    Hi, Just installed Tiger. Spotlight is very cool. Anyway I'm having real problems connecting to Windows computers on our network (it all worked fine and dandy with panther). I'm using SMB and it's getting as far as asking me to authenticate. It then fails saying: "The Finder...

    Can't connect to the internet from behind Win SBS 20003

    Hi, Got a weird problem. Probably not weird just me neing dumb! Basically my company has just installed Windwos SBS 2003. We're running a No NAT set up with two network cards in the SBS box. SBS controls NAT, has it's own DNS (forwarding to our ISP's when not internal) and allocated all...

    Apple - two words to consider: "Home Automation"

    My biggest problem with eyeTV is that it's gonna be using my processor cycles recording the TV show whilst I'm trying to work (why else would I want to record something - me have a life beyond my mac - unthinkable ;)). **Warning - rambling stream of consciousness** ;) I'd prefer it to do...

    Apple - two words to consider: "Home Automation"

    I found it a while ago on the apple store, I've had my eye on it (as this is exactly what I need) for a while but am still havering over getting one as I'd really like it integrated with a PVR. If you get one let me know what it's like and elgato might get another sale!

    Apple - two words to consider: "Home Automation"

    Sounds to me like one of these might be what you're looking for: http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyehome It's Internet services feature may cover off your radio requirements - everything else you talk about sounds easy with one of these! I just wish apple would release...

    iMac updates?

    Why not just wedge a TV tuner in. (yes yes I know all the arguments against convergence of this kind), but it's not exactly gonna cost a lot and would be really nice to have a 21" TV in my spare room that could also function as a computer and and have a swivel arm. I suppose this could be...

    iTunes 4.5

    iTunes is now multi user aware in Panther. So I no longer get a pony message stating that someone is already using iTunes if I switch into my account and fire it up. Not only that but I can see the other logged in users library as a shared playlist. This is just what I wanted/needed...

    Buy.com Music Store (the mighty merging of 3 threads)

    Rolling out a mac or a PC only platform is a small consideration. When a store goes international then we'll be talking - if Mac go international first (including the Windows platform - if possible) they'll be doing very nicely. But if they sit on their hands and wait for someone else to do...

    Apple Office??

    Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but instead of porting Access wouldn't it be easier to have a DB system that could read and write Access files, in much the same way as Text Edit or Keynote can read Word or Powerpoint. That wold take less development effort - in fact are there tools that...

    "Piles" in 10.3????

    Here's an interesting article about Piles (still can't write it without laughing) - their history and what Apple may do with them. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/39/30360.html Sounds interesting - particularly the stuff about gestures and the BeOS indexing system.

    Fuel to Tablet rumour fire

    Personally I beleive the way forward is less about cramming more technology in one device and more about having specialist devices that can collaborate to create a network based device. This is what Sony is apparently doing with the Playstaion 3 and what mobile manufacturers are begining to...

    Fuel to Tablet rumour fire

    The Register has the following article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/39/30239.html Which basically says that a manufacturer has been appointed by Apple to make some kind of wireless display. On a side note I've noticed Apple rumour chatter increase dramatically over the last...
