Hello,
I am using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. What I need is to map my FTP server as a local drive - or anything I have write access to - in Finder.
Thanks - A LOT!!! - in advance.
I tried this both on Windows 7 and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
While vrdpauthtype null works (everyone can connect to VMs without user name/password) vrdpauthtype external doesn't work (and RDC connections are just rejected).
Did anyone ever get this to work?
I want to edit the keywords for multiple references that I have in a Bibtex file. Specifically, I want to add keywords to them. I'm using Bibdesk on Mac OSX and I have a few hundred references that I am reorganizing.
Is it possible to do this?
Thank you.
So, the question pretty much says it all. I'm on Snow Leopard, and I do a lot of web development, particularly in Rails 3 which makes heavy use of the console.
I've seen some notable bloggers etc. mention Zsh as their preference over Bash, but I don't know what difference it would make.
Could anyone give me a good comparison of what difference there is and what might make one prefer one option or the other?
Thanks!
Some years ago, I've heard people saying that the OSX and Linux were better than Windows, I also remember of reading something that said the Solaris operating system didn't fragment their files and that the Linux file system was almost in the same step but none of these claims seemed to have basis or references.
I got two questions:
When comparing operating systems, what are the main points for
comparison?
How's the comparison between the main operating systems today?
While I know it's not part of the Posix standard, but how widely distributed is Ruby on Linux, Unix and other *nix's?
I ask because I loathe sh and use Ruby whenever I can on Ubuntu and OSX, but I don't want to get too locked in to 'strange' solutions.
Hi
I have a windows server 2008 running in Parrallels (on Mac osx)... the mac crashed yesterday and so I hard rebooted it, when I fired up the Windows Server 2008 VM this morning it goes as far as the progress bar then goes black screen and does nothing else (even when left for a long time).
I can boot into safe mode, Event Viewer says:
"The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
spldr
stoflt"
Any ideas? What should I do next?
I use SweetFM on my Mac (running OS X Leopard) to play (and export) last.fm music. But I find it annoying I have to look at the station on the website (in Safari 4) and enter it in manually in SweetFM. How can I make it so the little "play" buttons () will open in SweetFM instead of in Safari?
These two commands produce files that are slightly different in size.
In particular:
tar --use-compress-program=pbzip2 -cf old_logs.tbz2 1tree_* 4tree_* 8tree_*
The file old_logs.tbz2 is 100557548 bytes large.
The command:
tar jcf old_logs.tbz 1tree_* 4tree_* 8tree_*
produce the file old_logs.tbz that is 98783046 bytes large.
Where the difference in the two files originate from ?
I'm using bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3 on mac osx 10.8.5.
How can we create line breaks in a way they are respected by linkedin?
I'm using a UNIX system (OSX).
I found this answer but I think there has to be a way of doing it without running a liveCD.
Thanks in advance :)
I have a Mac Pro running Leopard and a RCA to USB cable and a VCR. I'm trying to figure out the best way to capture VHS tapes onto my computer using what I have. I cannot seem to find video capturing software for Macs that would do this through USB, especially for cheap or free, or with the ability to capture in MPEG2 format.
Does anyone have directions/suggestions?
I have an SD card with a corrupt filesystem, so wanted to clone it and attempt recovery on the copy (just in case of problems). I was thinking that dd-ing it Linux would be a sensible way to go, but don't really want to experiment in this situation. So if anyone has done this before then it would be good to know the exact approach that works.
In case it helps, I have Ubuntu, OSX and Windows machines available.
TIA,
Paul.
I am using the XeTex typesetting system on a Macintosh running Snow Leopard. I would like it to produce a PDF/X file. Is this possible? I am mainly concerned with ensuring the fonts are embedded.
I'm trying to find a utility that will allow me to generate a constant flow of random network traffic at a specified rate between 2 hosts. The utility needs to run on Windows and OSX. I've tried iperf but it seems to be more oriented toward short-term testing/statistics and it really taxes the CPU even at slower rates. I want something that will generate traffic for a few weeks at say 10Mbps while I use other tools to monitor the impact of that level of traffic on the network.
I currently invoke the following ssh command over my home wifi (from OSX to Ubuntu):
ssh -XYC -l my_username -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc -XC my_local_server
This works great, except during low bandwidth situations, like if I'm streaming music over the Web, while I'm coding.
In these situations, the ssh often drops, within a minute or two.
Is there a better setting or configuration that I can try over low-bandwidth situations?
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Server that runs a HTTPS Tunneling service. The software uses a certificate that is provided via the Windows certificate store. The certificate is located in the local computer private certificates. It supports server and client authentication with signing and keyencipherment.
Cert chain
The certificate chain looks fine. It's a Thawte SSL123 certificate.
Thawte Premium Server CA (SHA1) [?e0 ab 05 94 20 72 54 93 05 60 62 02 36 70 f7 cd 2e fc 66 66]
thawte Primary Root CA [?1f a4 90 d1 d4 95 79 42 cd 23 54 5f 6e 82 3d 00 00 79 6e a2]
Thawte DV SSL CA [3c a9 58 f3 e7 d6 83 7e 1c 1a cf 8b 0f 6a 2e 6d 48 7d 67 62]
Server certificate
Issues
Most browsers accept the certificate without any warning. But IE 7 on Windows XP SP3 and Opera 12 on OSX just report an connection error. Opera complains:
Secure connection: fatal error (552)
https://www.example.com/
Opera was not able to connect to the server, because the server does not communicate via any secure protocol known to Opera.
A connection test using openssl s_client -connect www.example.com:443 -state says:
CONNECTED(00000003)

Thawte provides two Java based SSL Checkers. The Legacy Thawte SSL Certificate Installation Checker and the sslToolBox. Both validate the certificate under Windows XP but report connection errors under OSX and Windows 2008 R2.
I'm dying at Mac OSX 10.5.8 + Firefox finding how to go to the beginning of the line in Google Docs
I was cursed with too little intelligence to use this glorified OS. Would any one please guide me in that so dead-simple stuff?
The second monitor works fine when I am running Mac OSX (10.5.8), but when I am running Windows, the second monitor will not work.
Should this work, or is it possible to get it to work?
I've an Seagate 500 GB external HD (NTFS). To read/write it on Mac (OSX 10.6.2) , I've tried MacFUSE and NTFS-3G to write my HD on Mac. Though I could be able to see the hard drive, it takes too long to see the contents like this
is this normal ? also the data transfer takes too long time and the hard disk becomes too hot .
Any suggestions are most welcome.
I have a Mac Mini with Core Solo 1.5GHz, 512mb RAM, 60gb HDD, etc... I know, it's very old but since it's lying around here, I wanted to bump it up for general usage and some experimental iPhone development. Also, Snow Leopard can't be installed as it doesn't have enough RAM. I browsed around but I'm not sure if this Mac Mini's motherboard accepts a Core2Duo (at least a 2.0GHz). If anyone could inform me which generation of Core2Duo it still accepts, I'd be grateful.
Hi,
I'm using Mac OS, Snow Leopard 10.6.2, and I'm suffering from UDP packet loss during DNS query. So I tried DNS query as TCP using dig command, it worked very well.
However, I can't find some control switch to change to use TCP during DNS query. Is there a way to change it in Mac OS?
Thank you.

I've just recently received my new MacBook Pro, and I've begun exploring Boot Camp; dual-booting Windows 7 Enterprise.
I've heard chatter that there are some new Boot Camp drivers--newer than the ones that come with your OSX Show Leopard installation CD. But I'm having a hard time locating them.
These updated drivers should fix a few issues with the trackpad, amongst other things.
Can you guys point me in the right direction?
Some OEM include energy saving apps that can switch off certain devices such as webcam or optical drive. Is there any brand-agnostic app out there that can do it? If the list of disabled device is customizable, it would be useful too for mitigating DMA attack (disabling Firewire, PCMCIA, SDIO, Thunderbolt, etc). Even better if it can recognize lock/logoff event, to mimic OSX behavior in mitigating the DMA attack.
