I want to schedule a job to execute once a day...
Do I simply add a plist file to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons ?
Is there something else that needs to be done?

I am connected to a VPN from a Windows XP client.  The VPN is hosted on
a Mac OS X server . Does being connected via a VPN mean that I can see
other machines within the VPN and identify them by their local IPs?
My instinct tells me know, because my machine has a local IP relative

Ok, I'm trying to find out if quicktime Pro will actually do this.  I
know qt player can open these.  I've tried iSquint but it gives me an
unknown codec error.  Anyone know for sur before I shell out the $ for
qt pro?

How to make DVD from old VHS tape? What software, hardware, cables? I
own iMac G5 2.0.

When I click an mpeg/avi movie in Safari, it opens in a Safari tab.  I
much prefer it opening in a Quicktime window outside the browser (every
other browser I've used either works this way or is configurable in
this manner).  I cannot seem to figure out how to configure Safari to

Hi, My admin ran this command on our Mac OS X server.  Does the result
mean SSH is open?

Has anyone found an cost-effective way to extend the (hard-wired) cable
from the (discontinued) Apple 17-inch CRT monitor? The cable uses an
ADC connection, and it's just a couple feet too short to reach the CPU.

Is it just me, or is the "X Box" yet another example of Microsoft stealing
ideas from Apple?  The Apple Pippin was the EXACT same concept - from the
built-in modem to the scaled-down PC architecture - it was just way ahead

I have set this all up as indicated on various web sites and I the
IOXperts (802.11b Driver v 1.0.3) configuration indicates a good
connection with good signal strength.  The "Diagnostics" screen says I

When I got my new MacPro, I imported my old user profile from my G5.
Every time I try to launch FCEHD, I get an error that an AGP video card is
not found.
Is there a workaround, or am I looking at an uninstall/reinstall?

Moving some of my files around in the Finder, I inadvertently moved a
folder called "Commands" out of somewhere and into another folder.  
Problem is, I don't know where it came from, so I don't know where to
put it back.

I have a 1.25 GHz eMac with a combo drive and I would like to upgrade
that drive with a DVD writer.  Anyone know what type of burner will work
 with the eMac by swapping them out?

Hi. I'm going to help my son set up his airport express for itunes
streaming only. He does not have Internet access. He sometimes tries to
join other wireless networks as they become available. He had his new
airport express working for streaming iTunes but as soon as he tried to ...

I bought an IMAC G5 in January, just before Apple went to Intel. The
only free USB port I have is used for my printer. Now, my kids have
IPODs and they need to download music through the USB port which means
lots of unplugging and plugging in that port, something I am not happy

Is there any way to reduce the audio volume of CD tracks when they're
imported, say, into iMovie or iTunes? The volume of the music I want to
use for an iMovie project to produce a DVD is far too loud, and
increasing the volume of the narration audio clips beyond 150% is not
