With Windows there is is an option from the taskbar to tile windows horizontally or vertically. Is there someway to replicate this feature in Mac OS X?
How can I associate a UID to a specific username on IBM z/OS Unix System Services?
Within USS, I see content created in my user space which I do not own. File ownership lists a three digit numerical value, rather than a userid, which I presume to be a UID. I've unsuccessfully attempted to make a username association using commands:
tsocmd "search class(USER) uid(###)"
tsocmd "rlist unixmap u### all"
I've been using Mac OS X's VNC service to connect remotely from a Windows XP box, via TightVNC. Everything seems to work normally, except that frequently - anywhere from ten seconds to ten minutes - the connection locks up entirely, without any sort of error message. The only solution is to reconnect and wait for it to lock up again.
How can this be fixed permanently?
Hi,
I notice the message:
Firewall[313] portmap is listening from 0.0.0.0:111 proto=6
repeated on my logs ever 30 seconds. How can I disable portmap (not using NFS or anything like that so I assume I have no need for it).
I already tried Lingon.app and disabled com.apple.portmap from there, but that didn't help at all as portmap is still running after i rebooted.
What would be the proper way to disable portmap and stop the service without having to reboot on Mac OS X 10.6.

Hi,
Toast Titanium 10 offers a way of mounting an image into a virtual DVD drive so that it is viewed as being a separate physical drive by other applications.
I was wondering if there was a way of achieving the same result using the built-in OS X tools (whether GUI or command line), as I am aware it has many of such built in.
Thanks in advance!
What is the last version of Skype that runs on a Mac OS X Panther 10.3.9 ?
I've download a so called compatible version but it doesn't start.
I've also heard that it can be a problem coming from Quicktime version...
Is there to manipulate icons on an OS X file from either Automator or the terminal?
In my case, I want to remove custom icons (ie the same as doing 'Get Info' and Edit-Cut on the icon) from a large number of files.
Using Mac OS on multiple monitor is great, but after removing external monitor (2nd monitor) usually windows position originally on the external monitor doesn't get re-positioned to default monitor. Is there any shortcut key or utilities that can reset window position for this kind of usage?
This may have been asked before, but I'm wondering whether there is a shortcut for navigating to the enclosing folder in OS X (Snow Leopard)?
I find navigating Finder particularly frustrating since it's hard navigating back to the enclosing folder (especially when you jump to a folder and realize the back button is disabled)...
I'm hoping for something other than Command+Up, since that's the key combination I use to navigate Spaces.
How could I enable syntax highlighting on the shell and in emacs when I use Terminal.app on Mac OS X to ssh into other machines? Right now if I ssh and do an "ls" for example, directories are not shown in a different color from flat files, for example, and I'd like to fix that.
thanks.
After googling for some Mac OS X terminal shortcuts, I wanted to find how can I go back characters on a line on the terminal or words or similar. I found ALT + B but it does not work.
Do you know some other shortcuts, or how can I customize them or links to cheat sheets?
I'd like to see the dot hidden files in the Finder but not on the Desktop, is that possible?
(.localized and .DS_Store on my desktop really annoy me.)
I'm using Snow Leopard (Mac OS X v10.6).
I have a OS X 10.6 install working, with Apache and PHP installed.
However, I cannot get mod_rewrite working. The contents of my httpd.conf is located here: http://pastie.org/828990
Does anyone know what vital thing I'm missing?
I don't know if the problem was well know,I searched the google,but didn't get anything useful.
I configed the KVM guest vga mode as
vga std
and got a yellow exclamation sign with the vga in the XP guest OS.
so I found the vbempg.zip in the follow address:

Some often,I could get a blue screen crash.Any one could give some further information?
I have a collection of .tif files but when I open them on Mac OS X 10.5 they show up as solid black and I don't know why.
thanks
Upon further inspection at really high brightness there are some out of focus objects viewable. It looks as if I am getting the first couple bits of each pixel but not the entire range of values.
Do you guys know any software that can reproduce the entire tree of directories under a certain directory to another disk and keep it update in real-time on Mac OS X?
A kind of mirror RAID, but instead of mirroring the whole disk I need to mirror just all directories inside one specific directory.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
I'm looking for a regular expression based search/replace GUI tool that is able to handle multiple files/subdirectories, something like grepWin but for Mac OS X.
PS. I'm aware of grep and I don't need an editor, just a standalone tool.
Why does OS X have both a "Hide" and a "Minimize" feature? This seems somewhat redundant to me, and also introduces some inconsistency when I am trying to find an arbitrary window. If it's hidden, I need to activate the application and use the "Windows" menu to bring it up; if the window is minimized, it appears in the dock.
What are some scenarios in which you'd use these two features differently?
On OS X 10.5 and 10.6 at least, the command to enable all files in Finder only affects Finder Windows -- the "/File /Open" dialogs on applications still show a limited set of files, ignoring nearly all the Unix stuff.
Is there a setting which enables ALL file dialogs of ALL types to show ALL files? I really am a big boy and promise not to harm them! :)
How do you encrypt a single folder on Mac OS X without using a Disk Image?
I have heard you can use a Disk Image to do this but I don't want a giant Disk Image just sitting there which I will probably never fill up.
Thanks in advance!
Today Mac OS X kernel panicked twice on me.
The first time, I got this log.
The second time, I got this log.
A few minutes ago, iTunes started sounding blocky, after quitting FireFox everything went back to normal, I am currently using Opera.
These are my system's specs.
EDIT: I ran the apple hardware test and got these results.

What FREE software (included with Mac OS X, or public domain) would be a good, simple way to take some existing PNG clipart files and do some simple editing?
I really only need to do 3 things:
Rotate the image.
Clip the image.
Set a "transparent" color.
I don't need anything that takes weeks to learn or is super-powerful or super expensive.
