Mac Forum / General / General / February 2008

I have two computers - a Dell PC running Windows XP and an iBook running
MacOS 10.3.2. Both are connected wirelessly to a Netgear router, which
in turn connects to my ISP for internet access. I am a total novice on
matters of device and file sharing between these computers.

What I wanna do is to get some of my larger Leopard
app's OFF of my MacBook Pro.
Leave big app's at home on a desktop Mac, where they
belong, and operate them remotely from my MacBook.

I am running Mac OS 10.3 and am the only user (administrator) on the
computer. Is there a way that I can avoid the
"blank could not be moved because blank cannot be modified? Or some
such message with the authentication or ok buttons to choose from.

This is for you Unix geeks.  I run Uwin on a PC and it has a program
called atp which would change alpha to postscript.  I would nroff a file
and pipe it to atp to adjust it to fit on a page.
Now I am porting my software to the Mac and my output is about 100

I am glad Leopard works great for some people and I actually know lots

With all the things that iTunes does nowadays with respect to music,
movies (downloads and rentals now), iPhone activation and syncing, I
was curious as to the size of the program package in the Applications

I am just posting this for amusement. I don't need to do anything about
it.
But, looking at the Console log, I have found several lines saying
The file name for this data might be (or it might not) ...

I'm used to doing this quite a bit under Windows - searching for
documents (including source code) that contain a string.   I usually
look for strings within a file description (such as *.html) for a
directory and subdirectories.

MacBook Air Requires Custom Install Disk
If you were hoping to use the MacBook Air installer disks to install
Leopard on any other Mac computer you can forget it. The installer
will prevent the software from being installed on any other Macintosh

A few days ago, I posted an Applescript that empties mail's sent, trash,
and junk mailboxes.  A few people suggested that I only had to set those
boxes to empty daily instead, and wouldn't need to run the script.  So I
tried that.

I created a .DMG file for my work documents, but told it to remember
the password.   I guess that's not very secure - how do I tell it to
require me to use the password when I mount it?

I use it on Windows and thinks it's da bomb. But do any peepz use it
on Macs? on mac we have dashboard which is the same thing.
What do you think?

I have a MacBook Pro and an older iBook G4.
I am trying to install 10.4 on a iBook G4.  I put the install disk in
and started the process after a moment I got this message:
Kernel Version:

So there has been a lot of contreversy about whether MacHeist is good
or bad for developers (i.e. they people that run it exploit developers
and use it to fund a lavish lifestyle - Ferraris, cociane, hookers
etc.)
