Can stacks be created for application windows in mac os x - leopard? For example, if I click on firefox, it should show a stack of all open firefox windows and I could choose between them.
I'm installing boot camp on 64 bit windows 7 home premium from a leopard disc. During installation I get a couple of errors saying that some driver publishers are not registered or something and I install them anyway. After reboot windows tries to repair something and reboots again. When I finally log in, there is no boot camp any more. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks
btw, I'm using Macbook Pro 15 inch Santa Rosa (late 2007)
I have a bunch of Xvid videos lying around and I would love to convert them to a format that will play on my iPod touch efficiently and quickly.
What free programs can do this? Although I am after something to run on Leopard, Windows programs wouldn't be bad either.
Here's my setup:
I have a local server running on my machine (Mac OS, Snow Leopard). I can access it via my browser by doing
localhost:3000
I have a virtual machine using Virtual Box running a windows XP. If I try to access using localhost:3000, it fails. Same thing if I use the ip of the Mac machine.
The virtual machine has access to the internet.
How can I access my local server in my virtual machine?
I'm on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). What's the best way to find a folder for which I'm not sure of the full name?
For example, I know the folder name I want is like:
"farm-animal-type"
But the full name may be something like:
"farm-animal-type-horse"
On Windows, I would just use the find tool through Windows Explorer.
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.
I'm trying to install CouchDB on my mac, running snow leopard 10.6. I installed Xcode, MacPorts, and then followed the instructions here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX
It all worked fine until I tried to visit the web interface: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html
Google chrome said "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1:5984"
I tried connecting using telnet in bash and it said connection refused. Can somebody shed some light with some suggestions or perhaps and idiot-proof walkthrough?

I have a Windows 7 VirtualBox VM (64 bit, 8 GB) on a Snow Leopard host (64 bit, 24 GB). It works fine until I connect via Microsoft Mesh.
When I connect via Mesh remote desktop, the VM crashes about one or two minutes after the connection has been established. It doesn't answer to pings (from the host and from other machines in the network) and no RDC connections (from other Windows machines in the network where Mesh works) are possible.
Any ideas?
How do I convert video files for use on the AppleTV? I've tried Handbrake but it crashes on a lot of the video files I have. Any alternatives that are free? I've got an Intel Mac running Snow Leopard.
Is there a good bit of software on OSX that I can use to monitor incoming and outgoing network activity? Nothing too geeky, just want something simple to use.
I'm on snow leopard if that helps.
I'm using Wanderlust with Emacs on OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and frequently switch to a different application while Wanderlust is prefetching e-mails and organizing the summary buffers. At several stages during this process, Emacs acquires focus and steels me away from whatever I was doing in another application. I don't think Wanderlust has any built-in applescripts and I haven't added any, so I have no idea what could be causing Emacs to demand focus. Any ideas how to leave Emacs in the background while updating Wanderlust?
(Using Snow Leopard.) When I plug in a flash drive formatted with FAT32, the permissions on all files on the drive are set as 0666; between colored ls and my obsessive-compulsive nature, this is annoying. Is there any way to make it automatically mount with a different umask?
I'm using Snow Leopard with Remote Desktop Connection attempting to access a Windows XP machine on a home network. If I specify the Windows PC's hostname it won't connect. Only by specifying the IP address does it connect. It's the same issue when trying to ping the Windows machine - IP address works, hostname doesn't.
Both machines are on the same subnet connecting with a wireless router.
Is there way to get OSX to resolve the Windows PC by its hostname?
I have a 128x128 image of a cube (projection) like this one:
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~mec/Winter2009/Lipa/Puzzles/pics/rubiks-cube.jpg
I need to make a rotating gif out of a static image.
I am looking for a free (or trial) utility or a script that can do that.
Os in the order of preference: Windows, Mac Leopard, Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks!
I'm following a video tutorial where the author (who uses textmate) can open files by using "mate". for example mate .git/config will open this config file
I'm using textwrangler however so I don't have that option. I did try edit .README once when i tried to open the README file of an application, but it opened a blank README file in textwrangler instead of the file with the text in it
so any idea how I can open this .git/config file (or any other file) using textwrangler?
I'm using Mac snow leopard
Is there a good bit of software on Mac OS X that I can use to monitor incoming and outgoing network activity? Nothing too geeky, I just want something simple to use.
I'm on version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) if that helps.
I'd Like to set up two different websites on one IP address using two different servers. Right now we are using Apache for our one Mac Server and it forwards correctly both to the pyhsical IP address as well as the domain. We'd like to add another domain to a new computer also running Leopard + Apache
On windows and ubuntu I just download the latest drops of emacs straight from the gun/fsf site, but they don't have Mac binaries there.
I have a decent version that came with Snow Leopard, but just running in the bash terminal. Is there a version that runs in a standalone window and is more Mac friendly?
I did try using ports, and downloaded one called emacs cocoa, but it didn't compile.
For some reason I can't access anything on python.org. nslookup resolves the IP address, but no browser or curl command will fetch anything. It works fine on a VMWare Ubuntu virtual machine and on a Windows machine on the same network. I've checked there's nothing funny in /etc/hosts
I don't know where else to go looking for issues, can anyone suggest anything?
Running OS X 10.5 Leopard
I've upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion before. Now, I'm going to Mavericks.
I'm tired of downloading these big installers every time I have to use them. The installers are deleted after using them as far as my experience is concerned.
Where can I find these installers after downloading them from the App Store so that I can copy them and use them in the future? Looking up over the internet did not help.
I've tried everything but I can't get MacBook 1,1 (which was running leopard) to boot os x after installing windows 7. I had the drivers for windows in a .pkg file and didnt realise it won't install them in windows. I am totally stuck with a half usefull windows system, any help would be greatly appricatet. Note: I've tried every startup command (ie hold x, hold option, hold c)with no joy, my head is wrecked
I have to update some Mac work stations in a business environment from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Lion (10.7). I found that the way is to purchase it from App Store (for 24 EUR). Now the problem is that all my users of the workstations used their own Apple ID to sign in in App Store and thus they have their private credit card information bounded to the account and I can not require them to pay the price of the update. How can I pay for the update with a company credit card?

I would like : to cause a different selection when text is double clicked.
Eg if in Chrome (beta v9, OSX Snow Leopard) I double click on the text define:superuser, and I click on the superuser part of that line, it should only select superuser, not the whole thing.
I wonder if this can be done!
