Ok, I know this seems to have been asked and answered a lot, but I'm looking for an equivalent to Firefox and Windows ctrl-enter on Safari. Before everybody says "just enter [string] and hit enter to get www.[string].com," it does not work for me. I'm on Time Warner, and their cable modem...

So far, I haven't found anything like RDC but Mac to Mac except for Apple Remote Desktop. I can't believe it costs so much! I could pay a little bit, but not $300+ Oh well, I'll keep looking, but otherwise I guess Screen Sharing (VNC) will work best. Anybody know of any better VNC services? I...

Sorry to be unclear. I haven't really decided on a particular application for the control, but ideally I'd like to see a remote desktop, but with less latency than Screen Sharing. At this point, I'd essentially like to use my MacBook as it were the keyboard and mouse (and maybe even the...

I have a PowerMac (Quad 2.5) running Leopard and a black MacBook, also with Leopard. I'm trying to find the best way to control the PowerMac remotely, not out of a particular need but just to distribute some resources. Is there a better way than OS X's built-in screen sharing?

it looks like this is NOT actually related. I made sure all of her proxy settings are the same as mine (got it stay Manual), as are all the other Advanced network settings, and still no improvement.

Looks like it's helping us narrow the problem down. When I go into her proxy settings, it's set to "Using a PAC File". I switch it to manual, click OK then Apply, and when I go back into proxy settings, it's back to PAC File. By contrast, my proxy settings are always set to manual. Perhaps this...

My wife has a MacBook Core2Duo, 4GB RAM, running 10.5.6. Whenever she tries to use Software Update, she gets the message: "Software Update can’t find the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, then try again. Software Update can't check for updates because of a network...

I'll take a look into the suggestions you posted, see if anything works. I like the "move the white icon out temporarily" suggestion, I'll try that first ^__^ In the meantime, here's what the GetInfo pane looks like when I Get Info on Radiant Garden (thanks, wish I could take credit for the...

I should have thought to put up a pic to begin with... I'm talking about the icon for the computer, mine is named Radiant Garden Looking at another MacBook on the network in CoverFlow shows the big version of the icon I want my icon to be the black MacBook...

I certainly appreciate the effort ^__^ The HD icon is no problem, I got that one changed. It's the computer icon that's not working correctly.

No such luck. Even after doing all this, Paste is grayed out when I have the computer icon highlighted in the Get Info window for it. I'm guessing from this that this icon setting must somehow be unique. I have changed every other icon I want to, including hard drives, applications, etc. just...

The directions look fine except for one little problem: when I go to permissions, it's actually now Sharing & Permissions, and there is no apparent way to specify the Owner; I can set permissions for different individuals and groups, but can't set the Owner. Changing icons in general isn't a...

I'm referring to the computer icon, the icon for the first item in the sidebar, assuming you have it set to show in your Finder preferences. In Leopard it's supposed to reflect the type of Mac you're working with. Similar icons will show up in the Shared category of the sidebar, showing the type...

I did some searches on the forums but haven't found an answer for this yet: I have a black macbook, and the icon in my sidebar is a white macbook. I'd like to change this to be accurate to my computer. I came up with a "fix" of sorts, but I'm looking for a better one. Here's why: In...

This may be posted somewhere in the forums (I'm searching now), but I'm having a problem in which, when I try to launch X11, it tries to start, quits immediately, and continues to try to start and quit in a loop. I tried to reinstall X11, which did no good. I'm looking into completely...

This may not be the best place for this, but it is boot camp related, so here goes. Is it possible to reinstall Leopard on my OS X partition without affecting the Boot Camp Windows partition? Or will I have to reinstall both operating systems?

I have a 2.0 GHz dual-core powermac, and rather than shell out for a MacPro, I am considering trying to upgrade the powermac processor. I'm just wondering, if I could get a 2.3 GHz dual-core, could I just switch out the processors and be all set? How about for the quad-core 2.5 GHz? Would either...

Thanks, I know what they look like. In fact, a more accurate depiction is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DVI_Connector_Types.svg It has male DVI-D dual link on one end, and female DVI-D dual link on the other, with only a couple inches of cable in between (not feet), and the...

Thanks, we have the DVI-VGA adapter, and are using it. This is an extra adapter, and does have identical configuration, one male and one female, on the two ends. Apparently, they sent us an extra part, but a goof at that! No complaints here, just curiosity.

I recently purchased a Mac Pro for my research group at my university. It works fine, came with everything, no problems. It also came with what appears to be a DVI to DVI "adapter," with a DVI in connected to a DVI out with about 2-3 inches of cable. I haven't looked in the manual yet, but...
