So I've got a Mac mini that is giving me kernel panics and is otherwise just giving me the finger. The attached photo is the latest, but I also witnessed a gray screen on startup accompanied by three beeps and a perpetually blinking (blip-blip-blip, pause, blip-blip-blip, pause…) light on the...

So I'm speccing out some new workstations and am very interested in the SSD options out there. Apple charges $500 to switch from a 1 TB HDD to a 256 GB SDD, but only offers that option on the three top-end models; NOT the low end 2.5 GHz machine. I hit up Apple's website chat (which was...

You guessed, it. I lost some files completely due to my own stupidity. I have some critical FileMaker files that I failed to backup before I wiped the drive and installed 10.6. I have seen several articles and programs that deal with recovering deleted files (via the Trash) but I think I'm...

Hello, I've got a couple of subnets hooked up via a site-to-site VPN. Each subnet has an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.5 on each. One is the Open Directory Master and the other is an Open Directory Replica. Everything works great until one location loses its internet connection. A...

So I'd love to make an iPhone app that hooks up to our Doggy Day Care webcams. I've got them streaming on our website (limited hours, so if it doesn't load for you, check the time—Central Standard Time): http://www.stonemountainpetlodge.com/doggy_day_care/live_feed_1.php I've downloaded the...

Hey Folks, I want to use my trusty harman / kardon Soundsticks to blast my Guitar Hero jammings, but since they are USB, I don't think they'd work with a device like the Xbox 360 (the 360 has USB ports; it's the driver that would be the problem I think). I think the solution is to connect...

I'm trying to setup an image toggle that turns on and off a background WAV file. Here's a working example: http://www.hazmatt.net/test2.html Safari 3.2.3 (Mac) works as expected. Firefox 3.0.10 (Mac) image swap works but sound stays on. Firefox 3.0.10 (Windows) works as expected...

Hello community! I have a complete layout of the problem (including screenshots and log files) here. In short, I can't get IPsecuritas to successfully negotiate past phase 2 of the IPsec VPN. It thinks it's connected (the light goes 'green'), but nothing works past that on the client side...

You know, like… "Ready to work!" "I've got a flying machine!" I don't have the game anymore; probably misplaced my CD-ROM or something. This website is the closest I could find to a complete collection, but I'm looking for the exhaustive list of WAV files. I think most folks extract the...

http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_mini According to MacRumors.com, it's been 518 days since the Mac mini's seen an update. I was ready to buy when an update was rumored the last time around a few months ago (WWDC was it?) and I was definitely ready to buy with Macworld 2009, but once...

My real problem is that I can't seem to authenticate via Open Directory. I originally posted my problem over at afp548.com but responses are slow in coming (completely understandable... solving other peoples' problems is hard work). But, looking at the logs (see above link), I discovered...

Here's a thread where nobody else figured it out and the original poster didn't really want what he was asking for: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=487976 But, I would really truly like to turn on Automatic Login for at least two Mac accounts. They would be used for remote VNC...

Here's what I have: Intel Xserve with dual ethernet ports (configured manually; 10.0.1.106 and 10.0.1.107) Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 FileMaker Server 9 Two subnets (10.0.0.X and 10.0.1.X) connected via VPN. Clients on both networks must be able to reach the server. Here's what I want...

The background of the situation: The volume that is being mounted is on an Iomega NAS A300u running some variant of UNIX. I am pushing our Mac users to connect via SMB due to the NAS unit not being able to show AFP clients files whose names are longer than 31 characters. My current problem...

The quest is to easily manage the same body of music on multiple accounts; mine and my wife's. The solution thus far is to place the entire iTunes folder (which would normally be located in each user's Music folder) into Users > Shared > iTunes and replacing each user's iTunes folder with an...

Subject kinda says it all... there are plenty of washable or otherwise spill resistant keyboards that exist for PC. I'm looking for one that is made for the Mac. Bluetooth wireless is a plus. If none exist, I wonder if it's not that big of a deal to use a PC (USB) keyboard with a Mac -...

I don't come here too much anymore, but I thought it might be interesting to see the decision in a laptop shoot-out I put together for my dad / boss today. It is intended to run FileMaker, routine web browsing, word processing, and SolidWorks (CAD software). HP nx9420 (Mid-Range option)...

I've got Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Professional as part of MS Office 2004 for Mac. It's got three CDs for the VPC part. I'm wondering if I can use those CDs (or at least the activation code) for use with a new Intel based Mac / PC workstation. This will replace my existing VPC setup, so...

We are setting up our new Kyocera Mita KM-2550 in the office and have the faxes and scans setup to be deposited on a publicly-shared folder on a Windows XP Pro workstation. Authentication is handled via a domain controller on a separate server. Windows users can log in, view, move / rename...
