I'm at my wit's end trying to control SMB file sharing on my Mac. (OS X 10.5 Leopard).
I want to do something fairly simple: share a particular (non-home, non-Public) folder over my my SMB/Windows network with two users (accounts are local to my Mac), and share no other folders with anyone.
The instructions on the internet are fairly…
I have installed the latest php version on my mountain lion system using these instructions (http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/server/upgrading-the-native-php-installation-on-os-x-mountain-lion/).
I even put /usr/local/bin first in my path variable, so when I run php -v at the command line I get php v5.4.x

I had a hard crash on my Mac PowerBook and when I restarted, Mail came up with only my MobileMe account still available and I cannot figure out how to restore the other eight email accounts I have.
The directories in ~/Library/Mail all seem to be there. I even did an rsync of the modified .plist files from a TimeMachine backup of…
Two weeks ago I have bought the new iPhone 3Gs. It synced like charm with iTunes and I was happy until a couple of days ago when I noticed that there was absolutely no way I could get any photos from the phone to my mac, as it doesn't even appear in the device list.
Long story short — i have even tried resetting Leopard…
I'm moving my family off of using the low tech "Boynton Mom's Family Calendar" to schedule things but I'd like to be able to create a monthly printout of the calendar in the same "Boynton" format (I'm sure it has an official name). The format is kind-of like a spreadsheet where each row of the calendar is a different day…
I have trouble to paste a list of strings in the format of 'mm/dd/yy' into iWork-Numbers. For example, I have a list of strings(text in VIM):
04/01/10
04/03/10
04/13/10
I copy those strings and then paste into my iWork-Numbers worksheet. The result will be:
2004-01-10
2004-03-10
04/13/10
It looks like that Numbers…
I'm primarily a Linux user but my main home PC is a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. The concept of "Spaces" in a Mac is extremely important to how I utilize my development environments and I use this feature on Linux all the time.

I recently moved from Windows to a Mac, but I still have to keep Virtualbox and Windows installation on the machine to use Quicken.
iBank looked promising, but I had problems importing my data from Quicken. I would switch to Mint if they would allow you to enter transactions manually, but the lack of that…

I've been a Synergy user for some time now, as I use a PC on the left side of my Mac.
My girlfriend and I both have our desks on each side of the other, and we'd like to know if it were possible for the both of us to control the PC in the middle, with our own separate mouse & keyboards.…
I'm running XP pro on VMware - it mounts and runs just fine.
However, if I power down the VM and try to copy it, or even if I try to do a simple Mac Backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner), I get an i/o error at one very specific VMDK file.
Here's a sample of the error - this from CCC:
