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.
Hi,
I used to rename file in Linux via a rename command:
rename 's/old_pattern/new_pattern/g' *glob
Is there something similar in Mac OSX (snow leopard)? Thanks
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 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?
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!
I am on a macbook. on ichat, i am unable to initialise video chat.
I can see the other person's camera, but the other person is uanble to see mine.
What could be the problem?
Also, in iChat, if i right click on the other person's name, the option to "Invite to Video Chat" is greyed out.
I am using Snow Leopard.
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.

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.
Hi there,
I experienced a major Mail.app crash on Snow Leopard couple of days ago.
It took me hours to be able to make the folder structure usable again by Mail.
I changed permissions back to 755 for all subfolders starting from and including ~/Library/Mail
Mail now works again but settings such as folder order in the left side bar and mail ordered by date in some folders don't persist anymore.
Any idea?
Thxs for help
I recently enabled FileVault on Snow Leopard, and after doing so, found a directory /Users/<myusername>.4529809818604982560, containing the original (unencrypted) contents of my home directory, owned by root:wheel with permissions 700, side-by-side with my normal home directory. Does anyone know why this was created (maybe a temporary backup that didn't get erased), or whether deleting it will be harmful?
I'm sharing a single IP address but there's no way to change what network it uses for distributing the private addresses via DHCP. My problem is that my VPN to work already uses the 10.x.x network, so I'd like my home to use 192.168.x.
I've tried messing with the Network tab within the Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow but nothing works. I'm hoping there's some way to hack the configuration file.
I frequently connect to my workplace over a VPN. I would like to continue watching videos from, say YouTube, whilst I work on the VPN, without degrading the available VPN bandwidth (say for an RDP session).
Can I configure a second NIC to deal with only the VPN traffic, with everything else going over the primary?
Specs as requested: Macbook Pro, OSX Snow Leopard, using the built in OSX VPN connectivity, the in-built airport card and a USB external wifi adapter.
I have an iMac that was from the first generation of aluminum iMacs. The reported model is "iMac 7,1".
This iMac's manual says I can put 2 2GB modules, but when this manual was made we don't have modules with more than 2GB and also we had Leopard then, that I suppose can handle less memory than Snow leopard.
Today we have 4GB modules, so can I put two 4GB modules and make it 8GB?
thanks.
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.

When I download an Office file and double click it from the downloads window or from Finder, the associated program will open, but the file won't. It worked before I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. How do I fix this?
I am using snow leopard and this is what I get in my terminal. By default I am using bash.

Hi, Our server has been locked by a person who haven't logged out after working on it, so now I cannot access it without restart. Can I somehow allow multisession access via SSH without restarting the system? It's under Snow Leopard.
The answers here
http://superuser.com/questions/13351/how-to-middle-click-on-new-macbooks
seem to give solutions that work for older versions of OSX, and one works for Snow Leopard.
But none of them seem to work for Leopard.
Does anyone have a solution to generate a true middle click without an external mouse, under Leopard?
I have this annoying problem with Finder on Snow Leopard. Every time I activate a Finder window and for example navigate to a folder, a few seconds later the selection or scroll will jump down in the list. It is like something is changed with the folder and the position is resetted or changed.
Anyone know what causes this? Is Finder detecting some constant change in the folder that I cannot see? Folder Actions?
Problem:
Occasionally, my Macbook becomes very slow after waking up from sleep
I open Activity Monitor and notice some processes like makewhatis are taking 100% CPU
I kill the process[es] and then everything works fine again
Questions:
My guess is that these processes are cron jobs. Is that correct?
Is it ok to kill them?
Is there a way to make this problem not happen?
Is this fixed on Snow Leopard?
I'm using Leopard (10.5.8) on a MacBook5,1
Whenever I attempt to take a screenshot on the second monitor, it fails silently. Is this possible, or do I have to move whatever I want to take a picture of onto the first monitor?
