I am an experienced Windows user. However, my latest machine is a Macbook Pro. What, if anything, is the Mac equivalent of Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter so common in Windows?

Thanks ]]> OS X troverman http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread149704.html Deleted Folder http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread149110.html Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:24:47 GMT I just accidently deleted my entire iTunes folder 35G, Had spent the last two weeks sorting out id3 tags artwork ect. and transferred it to an external harddrive. Later made a eal blunder and went to transfer another (As I thought a copy) to same harddrive and clicked "replace" I know...............

I have datarescue II but it only seems to find individual mp3 files (no Id3 tags) Is it possible to recover complete folders?

I am using Mac Tiger 10.4.11 ]]> OS X patrickthomas http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread149110.html Leopard permissions repair issue. http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread148554.html Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:21:46 GMT Hello,
I keep getting these warning messages in the details of the repaired permissions text whenever I run repair, which is often.

Kind of worries me as I've never seen a warning in repair permissions. But I just switched to a new machine that came with Leopard.

Mac Mini 1.83GHz core 2 duo 2GB RAM
See2Xtreme external USB video card for expanded desktop (with which I'm not real happy as they haven't gotten it to support both monitors to be in portrait mode yet)
19" Acer WS 22" Acer WS

Thanks for your attention and any ideas as to these warnings.
They are attached.

Tried to rebuild network with Setup Assitant and get the message that 'this computer doesn't have a wireless card'. It does, any suggestions on what has happened.

I copied the application on a cd, but don't know how to install it.

Can it be installed from a disk? Is there a way to copy it direct from on IMac to the other?

I have zero experience with programming. I think the best place to start is with C (open to suggestions) and last night purchased the K&R book on C. I almost exclusively use a Mac (OS X 10.4 - Tiger) and would like to learn my programming skills on it. The problem is I don't know where to start. I want to start with the classic "hello, world" program, but as I said, I have zero programming experience and am not sure what to do first. I don't know what application to write it in. I don't know how to compile it or what application to use or where to get one for my mac. The list goes on. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I would also be interested in any resources for learning C or programming on Mac for a total novice like me. Thanks in advance, I look forward to your suggestions! ]]> OS X whoisparker http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread145091.html Share Backup HD between PC and Mac? http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread145090.html Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:05:55 GMT I have a 500gig HD I would like to partition and use to back up both a PC w/ XP and a MacBook Pro w/ Leopard.
