sixones asked:

I’ve just bought a brand new macbook pro from the apple store, currently i have bootcamp installed running windows xp pro. Now, i’ve fallen in love with mac os x, and would love to use full time! But im a .net web developer / programmer so i need access to a windows enviroment! So my option is bootcamp, but bootcamp would mean i would have to reboot just to use mac os x which is disappointing and annoying! So parallel would be the answer! But is it all that its cracked up to be? Will visual studio run okay on it? Will i be able to compile nicely, and run specific .net windows app’s to develop and test? Or should i forgot about os x and use bootcamp with windows?! I cant decide, and its driving me crazy, i dont no if parallels will be worth it or be able to handle my needs! I dont use a my computer for gaming (if anyone wonders – i have a 360 for that!)

Thanks in advance!!

Need help with Kingston Data Traveler 64GB USB?

hikari_dreamer asked:

I just got this USB and started using it for the first time today, and I’m afraid I may have wrecked it somehow. I use a Mac OS X, which is compatible. I got a little trigger happy with loading a bunch of files at once, and then it froze, giving me the waiting color wheel. Finally, it went through. I tested the files, and they work. After that, I tried moving smaller file portions, but it got stuck again. What’s more, my computer stopped doing anything. I had to turn it off. I was concerned about the flash drive then, but when I checked it again, all the files were fine and intact except the ones it was loading at the time. I got one more folder on without any problems, but then it froze again with the next data transfer. I’ve now had to repeat this freeze/shutdown process three times. It will no longer take even a single file. It is not a storage issue, as there is still 62GB available. What’s causing the problem? Can someone please help me with this? I’m very concerned.

PHP & MySQL on Mac OS X?

Dustin S asked:

I am interested in learning PHP. I have some knowledge in HTML and want to expand on that. I have a MacBook and I am using OS X 10.5.4. I installed MySQL Administrator but I can not log in, I don’t know what I need to do to log in. I just get the “Could not connect to MySQL instance at “http://localhost/.” error. Is MySQL just for testing PHP?? I am confused as to why I even need MySQL. Also, I have DreamWeaver CS3, so I can build PHP, I just don’t know the best way to test it, and I would like to get this local server going so I can test it properly. Any ideas??? ANY info on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks!

AbsolutZero asked:

I have an Eagle Tech 1.5TB Hard Drive. The product specs are as follows
• Type: External hard drive

• Form Factor: 3.5”

• Hard Drive: 1.5TB (2 x 750GB 7200RPM 16MB cache each)

• Internal Interface: SATA I/II

• External Interface: Hi-speed USB 2.0

• Data Transfer Rate: 480Mbps

• Power Source: Universal Switching Power Adapter (5V/12V 2.0A)

• Power Input: 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz

• Certification: FCC, CE Certified and RoHS compliant

• O.S. Required: Microsoft Win98SE/Vista/ME/2000/XP Mac OS 9.0 or higher Linux

• Dimension: 5.2 x 8.4 x 4.3 inch

• Weight: 3.0 lbs

The features include:
• Cool running 1.5TB

• JBOD allows you to add capacity as needed

• One touch backup (OTB) with software by FNet

• Virtualization software by VMWare (30 day trial)

• User changeable 2 color bezels

• Ultra thick 2.0mm aluminum

• 6cm smart fan

• Plug-n-Play USB 2.0

• Usage: Scheduled backup & synchronization of important files between PCs

Now here’s the problem. When I plug it into my computer it recognizes that there is something plugged in, but won’t read the drive or make it accessible to me. In other words, if I were to go under the Remove Hardware tool, it’ll show that there is a “mass usb storage device”. However, nothing shows up under My Computer. I’ve tested it on 3 laptops, a Sony Viao, Toshiba Satellite and an HP Presario. So I know it’s not a system error.

Does anybody know what’s wrong, how to fix it or at least where I can find out what’s wrong with it or how to fix it? Any help at all would be supremely helpful. There are some really important files on there that I actually need (not want, need). Please help if you can. Thank you.

How do I center my web site properly?

n8bog asked:

I have an issue with my web site. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, and have checked all of my settings, but I am not the best at this, so I know it is some small and simple thing to fix.

First I am using CSS in HTML format, and what the issue is, is that when I upload the web page, with all the files, images, styles sheet, everything works it is all linked perfectly, so it is my code that has an issue. When I preview the web page in fire fox for XP, it is almost perfect, but one window is not working properly, and cuts off the sides of the image, even when the pixels are to size. When I preview it on a Mac OS X, the entire page is off. and cuts my image too early, jut ruins the entire thing.

I think it is a problem with my code, but I know for sure there is an issue. here is a test link to the page the problem is at…

“Please note, there are two boxes stretched out on the lower left, that is supposed to be like that”

Any help would be great! thank you!

kiyogumi asked:

I’m a Mac user and I want to test drive the Bootcamp feature on my newly updated Leopard Macbook. I’m not very familiar with a Windows installation- since any Windows PC I’ve used obviously comes with the OS- and I’m a Mac user. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a place inwhich I could download a trial version of Windows-preferably a version within the past 2 years.
Thank you for your time!

Question about Mac OS X security? HELP EMERGENCY?

James W asked:

I recently downloaded a file from rapidshare. Before I opened it I checked using ClamXAV and it checked everything in the file and it came up clean. Then I used it to check where the file was sent and it still came up completely clean.

I still had a bad feeling and I used MacScan to check every file in my computer for spyware and it came up completely clean.

I haven’t had any signs of spyware but I still don’t like rapidshare because of the lack of security, but I had to download it.

So since both of those tests came up completely clean should I still think I have a spyware? Would I know if I had a spyware? Help please

Why does my pandora battery boot to the XMB?

Asifys asked:

I’ve used this pandora battery before, to downgrade to 4.01 m33 cfw. Then, I updated to 5.00m33-2, m33-4, and finally, m33-6. After a while, I used network update, and I thought that DA released 5.50m33. Unfortunately, it’s 5.50 ofw. So, naturally, I ***** out the Pandora battery, and Rains MMS maker. After the first try, it works fine, I am led to the screen.

However, being the smart person I am, I decide to make a back-up of the MMS, on my Mac OS X (I used Rain’s MMS on Windows XP, but I prefer Mac). To test if the backup worked, I formatted my drive, and put the pandora files back in there. It didn’t work. I reverted to Rain’s MMS maker, but now all it does is lead me to the XMB. If I load the Pandora battery (Tool battery, I didn’t mod it myself), it acts regular (meaning, it doesn’t boot to XMB, just stays blank). The second I pop in my “MMS”, hit the “L” button, it simply boots to XMB. What should I do?
Rofl. Apparently, I wasn’t holding “L” before I turned it on. It works perfect now. Waste of 5 points, but I’ll best answer you anyway :D
