Zenostein posted:Startup disk Pref Panel in System Preferences. Or if you're in Windows, Startup Disk tab in the Bootcamp control panel thing. That doesn't work for me, i think it got something to do with my SSD. I used a Guide for booting my SSD in AHCI in Bootcamp. Is there any other way to change the boot order? Maybe in the terminal?

ScarletBrother posted:I want to install Windows using bootcamp so that I can do some gaming. I have an old copy of windows xp and I was wondering if I can do that? It seems like my version of OS X only supports Windows 7 though. Am I stuck needing to acquire a copy of 7? Gamers don't use Macs or Windows XP. I don't think XP works with newer bootcamp versions anyway. If you really want XP you might be better looking at VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or even Virtualbox, something along these lines.

Does anyone know some free slideshow generator that would let me throw in a super long fade between images? Just throw it a directory and have it go. Need it for a performance in a few hours so I appreciate your timely answers!

MOAR posted:Gamers don't use Macs or Windows XP. Boot Camp 4 drivers are needed to deal with Lion's HFS peculiarities. I had Windows 7 installed with Snow Leopard drivers/BC3 that would keep BSODing because the OS X partition was encrypted with File Vault. It was annoying to have to reinstall.

Boris Galerkin posted:Remote Sharing is enabled in System Preferences, and my sshd_config has the port number commented out (defaulting to 22, which I figure is OK since I don't allow outside connections anyway). I've rebooted my router (Time Capsule) and this Mac as well but nothing changed. I know for a fact this worked as late as this past Saturday, and I really don't remember touching any settings on my router since then. I assume you mean "Remote Login" instead of Remote Sharing? Can you telnet to port 22 from the local machine? Did you grep for sshd in /var/log/system.log to see if there are any obvious errors?

Whenever Safari tries to load gifs on SA threads like PYF gifs most of them either loop after the first few frames or load really chopped. Is this a known problem, or is it because of my internet connection/bad luck?

Is this a known problem, or is it because of my internet connection/bad luck? Safari plays GIFs as they load, so it'll do that until the GIF is fully loaded. I have no idea why this is, it's just A Thing, so far as I know.

See if you can connect on port 22 of the remote machine. nc -z remote.machine 22 I'm no expert, but based on the output you posted, it looks like it cannot establish a TCP connection on port 22. Maybe also run tcpdump or tshark while you try to connect. lord funk posted:Cyberduck has been acting up (won't move / copy files, error after error). What do you guys recommend for a good FTP client? I like Transmit, but it costs money. My only complaint is it doesn't copy Spotlight metadata uploading/downloading, as far as I can tell.

Well I typically telnet to the port just to see whether it responds, but that works too. So if you try to connect locally, like ON the mac, if you type ssh user@mac you can log in correctly, but if remotely you type ssh user@mac.ip you get a timeout? Did you check to see whether the firewall is active in system preferences? If you just type "telnet mac.ip" on the remote machine, do you get the SSH banner back?

Transmit for heavy lifting, FireFTP for quick dumb stuff when I'm too lazy to quick launch. I know people love their Cyberduck, but Transmit is absolutely amazing and worth every penny.

Is Path Finder the best Finder alternative? I'm considering buying it now that my trial is nearly up and wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something even better. I develop iOS apps, and I've found Path Finder to be much more useful for various project related file management tasks compared to Finder. Any recommendations?

 Mac Mini server running Snow Leopard. Someone on a Windows machine (we're sharing through SMB so they can use it) made a folder and the Snow Leopard users in the office can see it just fine, but the Lion users can't view the folder. I had to delete it on the server and create a new folder and put the files back in it. For some reason none of the Lion users can connect using afp since the last update either. We have about 5 Windows machines and 15 Macs, one of those companies where we're not big enough to spend the money and time on setting poo poo up right (the sysadmin is whichever web developer isn't busy) but too big to keep using the 'EVERYONE USE THE ADMIN ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD' idea.

Howdy thread- I'm visiting my mom in LA and setting up a time machine for her and she mentioned to me that my stepfather has a script that is typewritten from 30 years ago that they tried using OCR software on but it was a no-go and just made an uneditable PDF. Is there a decent OCR package that they can use that doesn't cost $200 out there?

On a Finder replacement topic - when you install a replacement, can you remove the Finder icon from the dock? I read that the only working method to remove/hide it can screw the whole OS.

If the file is not too humongous you can use a site like this http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf-to-word-converter/ or this http://www.pdftoword.com/ . Both have worked for me.

I read that the only working method to remove/hide it can screw the whole OS. In Totalfinder, which I use now, Finder is patched, so you're still running finder.app but you get tabs and the ability to cut/paste files.

Has anyone heard about this trojan floating around? I ask because I got a slightly weird password prompt when installing a Flash update the other day; the icon in the password prompt didn't quite look right. I've tried to follow the instructions in the link to see if I'm infected or not but I have 8 entries after the first step so their instructions are no help.

Yeah there's been a few fake Flash updates for a while now it seems, I think there's one that pops up one through Java too. I guess look up the different variants and see if there's different removal directions, if there's not some automated apps for it (...that aren't trojans themselves) I think there might be free trials of the various security apps.

Anyone else here having issues with GrowlTunes? Not sure when it started (last iTunes update maybe) but now it will only do a notification for one track then just stop. Restarting it seems to get it to work for one more track then stop again.

Security updates for Java just dropped. Snow Leopard and Lion get updates, get it through Software Update. The Lion one is called "Java for OS X 2012-001" and comes in at 66.6 MB, the SL one is called "Java Update for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 7" and comes in at 79 MB. Java SE 6 gets updated from 1.6.0_29 to 1.6.0_31. Also see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5045 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5055

unruly posted:Wonder if this has to do with that fake flash worm problem. I almost fell for that today.  I had unthinkingly clicked the updater's 'Install' button like I usually do whenever Flash randomly decides to update. But it then identified as a Chrome Helper process and I stopped it immediately. It was REALLY convincing until that happened.

There was an actual flash update only a few days ago, and for a little bit I was worried I had actually installed the trojan. The results from following instructions in here seem to indicate that I'm in the clear though.

My household has been sharing a color inkjet freebie printer until it gave up this morning. We're all going to chip in to buy a bw laser jet printer, and we want to plug it into our Mac mini htpc, to enable all the laptops, iPads & iPhones on the network to print. What is the best app for enabling AirPrint for a connected printer?
