 | Linksys should work with just about any computer. Make sure that the Linksys router is working with your modem, and it should work fine with your iMac. You should have a straight-through Ethernet cable, although newer modems are configured to accept cross-over cables, too. |
| | [QUOTE]Firstly, why does the ALWAYS ASK FOR MY E-MAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD OPTIONS not functioning eventhough I have clicked that option.[/QUOTE] Have you turned off you cookies in your browser? What web browser are you using? [QUOTE]Secondly, why do I keep getting the same message that my password is incorrect … |
 | So can the Unix machines still connect to your FTP? If so, you may have a firewall problem. I would check that. You could also try using the ftp client to connect to an anonymous FTP server, and see if that works. What about router problems? I'm not completely sure, … |
 | Re: Linux Server Any distribution of Linux will work as a server. It all depends on what kind of computer you have, and how much time you're planning to put into it. For a quick and easy setup, I recommend SuSE. Only recommended if you have a fairly speedy computer. For a pure … |
 | If I understand right.... cd1.sh [code] #/bin/sh cd /whateverdirectory/inhere [/code] then, "chmod ugo+x cd1.sh" Edit your profile, so it will always be in your path: nano ~/.profile You will see a list of paths seperated by colons. Add a colon, and then add the path to where you saved the … |
| | [QUOTE=PatsBard]I have a client PC (with Windows 98SE) that is connected to my network with a WRE54G range extender. It connects to the network, but not the internet - the IP is a 169. number rather than a 192. number. I've tried using winipcfg to release and renew but it … |
| | [QUOTE=bcogney]Hi All, I am running into a major mac problem this afternoon. I logged out of my Mac last night and came today, no login page! All I see is a semi-blue screen. I restarted my Mac a few times, without any success. Please, someone advice me on what I … |
| | Re: mac VM [QUOTE=TheNNS]Now Microsoft Virtual pc is free. VMWare server is free, and a whole lot more virtualization programs are available for pc's, but why not macs? I would really like to use VMWare on macs. there's parallels, but it's not the same. virtual pc costs money for macs, and i don't … |
| | Although I agree with many of the rules, some of it is overkill. For example: [QUOTE]*Use WAP.[/QUOTE] WEP is highly insecure, so WAP is a good alternative. As long as your devices support it. Many older computers and laptops still only support WEP, so you may be forced to turn … |
| | Is this a new or used computer? Where are buying it from? If it's brand new, I would say this is a pretty decent computer. Also, what brand is it (or is it no-name)? |
| | [QUOTE=soccerdevil221]When I try to start my other computer up, it first comes up with message saying "Error loading powerprof.dll (break) One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found." Then, after the computer runs ScanDisk, another message comes up that says "Error loading Explorer.exe. (break) You … |
| | Re: trashing a file I'm not completely sure, but what type of file is it? If it's a DMG, make sure it's ejected. Likewise, if it's an Application, make sure it's not running (even if there's no application windows open, it can still be open on the Dock). If all else fails: Open Finder. … |
 | [QUOTE=cscgal]Is there a reason that mac isn't on the list?[/QUOTE] FreeBSD is the tech name for Mac OS X. (Well not exactly, but pretty close) And it's spelled "Operationg system", not "Ooperating system". |
| | Well, it sounds like you have Classic automatically starting up when your iMac is booted. To solve this, open System Preferences, choose "Classic", and then there should be an option to turn it off there. (I'm not completely sure, because I'm not at my G5 right now.) As for your …  |
| | [QUOTE=Marty]I have osx 10.4.6 Tiger installed on my system. When using Internet Explorer I am repeatedly getting a "Script Error Message." It is so frequent that it is taking all enjoyment out of using the computer. Can someone tell me what to do (step by step) in simple easy to … |
| | As easy as SuSE and Ubuntu are to use, they won't teach you very much about Linux. I don't recommend them unless you don't want to learn anything about Linux. Using Slackware or Gentoo for one week can teach you far more than months of SuSE. System administration, compiling software, … |
 | You can also set a variable temporarily by just going: MYVAR="something" The variable will be reset as soon as you reboot/restart. |
| | Maybe you need to do one of thos 'ol reformats -- ideally they should be done every few years to keep everything fresh, and also to keep viruses off it. I wouldn't do this right away, but this is definitely a good idea, especially if you are running a lot … |
 | Re: 64 bit Computing Apple just came out with 64 bit Mac Pros: [url]http://www.apple.com/macpro/[/url] Too bad I can't afford them. :( Yes, go ahead and create a 64 bit section. |
| | [QUOTE]Debugging code is twice as hard as writing it, so by definition, if you code to the best of your ability, you are not capable of debugging it. (I don't remember who it was that said this or I would acknowledge him.)[/QUOTE] [url]http://cboard.cprogramming.com/member.php?u=5094[/url] |
| | It should be stressed over and over again, that a distibution does not make Linux different. In other words, although Dreamlinux may look a lot like Mac OS X, that doesn't mean you couldn't achieve that look with something else, say Linux From Scratch. A distribution merely grabs a bunch … |
| | [QUOTE]Bios wont work cause nothing is getting sent to moniter just a blank screen.[/QUOTE] Well, how do you know that it isn't the BIOS which is dead? They can die, too. Or perhaps the computer's battery? Have you tested that? EDIT: yeah, I've been in that situation a lot too … |
| | There will always be security holes, but there's usually a way to plug them. Is it Internet Explorer which starts when you click on a link from World Book? Mac OS X security does not work on Internet Explorer. If you don't use/need IE, you could delete it, or simply … |
 | You aren't being descriptive.... 1. You burnt the ISOs. Did you burn the iso "onto" the cd itself, or did you just put the .iso file onto the disk? (I'm assuming you burnt the iso right onto the disk, but just checking) 2. "Installation screen didn't come up"? Like, did … |
 | First, connect your computer to the switch. Next, make sure Java/Javascript are enabled in your web browser. Lastly, enter the switch's IP address. This is typically 192.168.0.1, but check with your manual to be sure. If everything goes well, you'll see the HP interface in your browser. |
| | Hello, To install anything, you must be root. Root is the highest level of power in a Unix system. To temporarily gain root, type "su" into the command line. You will then be asked to type in your root password. If you never entered a root password (e.g., Ubuntu), then … |
| | Haha, this sounds like you picked up your computer while it was writing data to the hard disk. Never do this! If you have to pick up your computer while it's running, do it *very* carefully. This means that your hard drive probably wrote data to random locations on the …  |
| | The easiest thing to try is to reset the BIOS. When the computer is booting, it will usually say something like "Press DEL to enter setup". If not, just try hitting the DELETE or F1 key. When you enter the BIOS, you will see a menu of different commands. Hopefully, … |
| | [QUOTE=proliant_fan]BSD broke my thinkpad. I have searched and apparently when the machine starts up the bios looks for a hibernate partition (which happens to be similar to the bsd filesystem) so it hangs. I cant tell it to boot from the cd instead and then use a livecd to kill … |
 | Hello, This sounds like the DHCP error is from your router (although I'm not completely sure). First of all, reset the router. There might be a small hole at the back of the router, where you push a straightened paperclip in, and hold. If not, just unplug the router. If … |
| | It sounds like you need to configure your router before you can connect it to your 360º. You will need a computer with a web browser. Your router should have a manual for configuring your router, so I won't go into it here. Once you can get internet on your … |
| | Hmm... not exactly sure because I program in a structured language (C++). I definitely agree that you shouldn't use a GOTO command. I think you should use a switch or while statement, and then break when you're done. This would allow you to keep "structured" programming, while avoiding the GOTO … |
| | Re: gene OK, this is what you need to do: 1. You need to make sure that your Mac has a CD burner (or DVD burner, if you're planning to make a DVD). 2. You do not need Toast. Mac OS X comes with all the tools you need to make a … |
| | At least your laptop didn't [URL="http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32723"]blow up[/URL]. :) (Just for the record, I'm using an Apple MacBook) |
| | One of the easiest tools to use is Firehol (firehol.sourceforge.net). It is simply a script that does all the dirty work with iptables, so all you have to do is enter your rules in a firehol configuration file, and then add the Firehol script to your default runlevel. I have … |
| | Definitely sounds like some sort of hard drive problem. Could the controller be dead? One thing you could still try is downloading Ubuntu PowerPC live CD ([url]www.ubuntu.org)[/url], and then booting from that. It doesn't need a hard drive, so if it doesn't boot, then you know it's not a hard-drive … |
| | Re: Folder Creator [QUOTE=naylett]I am looking for an application that creates a client folder, sub folders and futher sub folders, does anyone have any recommendations? I best I have seen so far is "Client Folder Maker" but that only allows you to create 2 levels of folders, and that it. Any help i … |
| | If it's a PowerPC mac, you will not be able to boot Windows on it. Remember, Windows XP only runs on the new Intel Macs. However, you can probably run Ubuntu on it, provided that you download the PowerPC version (I think there's one availible), so choose that route for … |
| | If you have a spare Mac, you can boot from it using Target Disk Mode. Shut down the Mac that you want to boot, and connect a Firewire cable to it. Then, while starting it, hold down the T key. That is, assuming that you [I]have[/I] a spare Mac :D. |
| | Re: wierd start up [quote=TheNSS]I know what your problem is. You have a mac. mac sucks. get a dell or something.[/quote] I am very disappointed with this remark. This is a Mac support forum, so most people on this forum do not want to hear remarks such as this. Choosing a brand is a … |
| | Re: Lost Desktop Did you try repairing disk permissions via Disk Utility (/Applicatiosn/Utilities/)? I don't really know much about Onyx, but hopefully it didn't delete any of your files. You can check by opening the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities), and then typing the following commands: cd ~/Desktop ls And press the return key … |
| | I'm not really sure what you mean. "G3" is a processor name, but as for updates, I think there's some built-in software updater in OS 9. In any case, it's normal for a later operating system to run slower than the predeccesor, because the latest and greatest operating system will … |
| | I will never get tired of referring people needing to reset a Mac without Tiger disks to my website: [URL="http://dhost.info/joetheprogrammer/wordpress/?page_id=56"]http://dhost.info/joetheprogrammer/wordpress/?page_id=56[/URL] Hope it helps :) |
| | Even if a drive is connected via Firewire, that does not neccessarily mean it can boot Tiger. It has to say specifically "Boots Tiger" on it for you to be sure. > I've had a look, but not quite sure weither to use it or not. If I do will … |
| | I finally got one of those MacBook beauties! So I set about putting Wine on it so I can finally access some of the programs I've been missing out on as a Mac user. So when I try to run Darwine, it says it can't find the truetype libraries. When … |
| | I'm not really sure what you're trying to do. >I have 2 folders on my G4, one under the hard drive the other on the desktop. Actually, all your files are on the hard disk. So if you back up your hard disk, both folders will be backed up (assuming … |
| | There is also [URL="http://www.codeweavers.com"]CrossOver[/URL] office, which is basically Wine, but with more features and added stability. Codeweavers offers a free trial period in which you can use it fully-functional for 30 days, I think. Please note that Wine and CrossOver office can run Windows programs at native speeds, because it … |
| | Dev-C++ can compile Windows apps, just as easily as Visual Studio. Please note that writing a game is [B]not[/B] a good project to start on. I hope you realize this. Start by coding a console app, because they are the easiest to understand. You should work through your entire book …  |
| | I know this sounds stupid, but are you completely sure that your monitor's plugged in? If that's not the case, are you sure your monitor is compatible with your Mac? What brand is your monitor? |
| | Re: Lost jpeg Double-click on the JPEG, and either choose "Copy" from the Edit menu, or after you open the file, drag-and-drop into another program. |
The End.
