Hooking up to iMac to the powerbook to get HD info from iMac
what cables do i need?
where do i find the settings? (on each unit)
thanks for your help
All you need is a firewire cable to attach both macs. Start up the Powerbook with the cable attached and hold down the T key, this will start up the laptop in target mode and you will be able to copy the iMac settings to your PowerBook.

Where does the svc system get its infos from?
The longer I work with Solaris 10, the more I dread this awful "services" construction and its unwieldy administration.
I have a newly setup machine with two zones, one created right after the other, meaning they should be identical.
/usr is, as usual, lofs'ed into both zones, and contains a /usr/local/samba dir with a handcompiled 3.0.30 release.
I have not created any manifests as I intended to simply delete the 'onboard' samba service and start the new version
via the classical init script.
I boot both zones.. and one starts "/usr/local/samba/smbd -D -f /etc/smb.conf", and the other starts (or tries to) "/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D".
I inspected the manifest xmls for the network/samba service, and in both zones the entry lists /usr/sfw as start method.
svccfg listprop network/samba also reports /usr/sfw for both zones.
Where did the one zone get the info to start the /usr/local samba installation, and where did it get the (correct) conf file parameter?
Why does svccfg report a different startup method property than it really runs on svcadm enable?
I have grepped through all of /lib/svc, /etc/svc and /var/svc and nowhere is any reference to the /usr/local file nor the conf parameters.
Swapping the svc repository.db file between both zones also swaps the problem around - so it must be somewhere in there,
but as it's no longer a human readable file, I'm out of luck there. How did the /usr/local path and parameters get into that DB file?
Does the service system search the filesystem for known daemon binary names and other guesswork? And if it does such voodoo,
why didn't it do the same in the other identical zone?
rant Did we really need to get this svc "feature"? Until now I have seen no advantage from it, and only incurred a huge load of inconvenience,
be it the additional work of creating manifests for new services or debugging problems that I never had in a decade or two of init script usage.

What do you get for:
svcprop -p start/exec network/samba:defaultThat should display the start string it uses.
Where did the one zone get the info to start the /usr/local samba installation, and where did it get the (correct) conf file parameter?I can only assume that some program inserted that string into the service. As you said, it's not in the manifest, so it didn't come from there.

Of course, the milestone services still run startup scripts out of /etc/rc[S23].d, so those are perfectly valid places to run a startup script.

I have an iMac and under devices in the sidebar that name has changed from iMac to iMac(1) to iMac(2)...and is now at iMac(9). What is causing this and how do I correct it?
Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
A third-party wireless router that has incompatible settings or firmware may be the cause. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane. -
Will customers who purchased an iMac after the 1st October get a refund on iWorks which was purchased at the same time?
As the titile says. I purchased an iMac on the 4th October and added pages, keynote and numbers to the purchase. Now I find out if I didn't purchase them I would have them free anyway (and to make it more annoying I haven't even used the apps yet so have had no use out of them until this point). I know Apple gave refunds for the same situation on iOS iWorks in September.There is an up-to-date program for those who purchased new Macs after October 1.

When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -

I am getting conflicting info (from Apple folks) whether I can upgrade to Lion with 1 GB Ram. Some are saying I need 2 (which I can do by adding memory) - or 3 (which I'm not sure I can do). Anyone running Lion with 1 GB? 2? I am at Leopard 10.5.8 to run some recording mixer which the company (Alesis) told me they weren't going to support drivers to Lion, but I guess they changed their minds. Am I clear on this? thanks.
The hardware requirements for Lion are an intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM.
I wouldn't even both trying with 1GB, and even with 2GB Lion may struggle. If you intend to upgrade to Lion, can I suggest you max out your RAM. RAM is cheap at the moment.

Just published a new site to an FTP server and I got a 404 error message saying the site doesn't exist. When I retype the name of the site, I get a page from my hosting service saying this is the future home of [my site]. Any ideas?
Hi roddy,
thanks for responding. I read your link, looked at my settings and they were all correct. I tried to do a republish and got this message: The requested URL /childrenandcaring/index.html was not found on this server.
When I type the address in the address bar, I go to the site and the page says: This is the new site childrenandcaring.com
Any other ideas?

How do I get all Photos from iMac to MBP
My iPhoto album has several hundred pictures in several albums. While on the road, I'd like to put them on CD's or DVD's. Right now they are all on my iMac and I'd like to move them over to my MBP which I have with me all of the time. It makes more sense to be able to do the disc media on the road rather than at home. Any suggestions how I can pair the iMac to the MBP in order to get the pictures onto the MBP would be an enormous help?
Join them with a Firewire cable and then restart the iMac while holding down T so it Boots into Target Disc mode, then it will appear on the MacBook Pro Desktop as a regular volume. Then just drag the iPhoto Library across from one to the other (this would replace any Library on the MBP so if you need that rename it first)

How to get .pdf files from iMac to laptop?
This is a question on behalf of a friend of mine who has a desktop iMac (OS 9.2 -- about 5 years old) as well as a MacBook laptop (Tiger 10.4 -- brand new) .
He has received multiple .pdf files via email (Comcast) and has those saved to his desktop iMac. He wants to get them onto his laptop.
How does he do this?
Thanks in advance.I think the easiest, most elegant way to to do this would be to have him simply, email the pdf's to himself.
He could then retrieve the email while using the laptop. He could even go online to his comcast webmail account and download the pdfs he has attached to an email - He can download them to the desktop of any computer in the world.
I think the ethernet cable and creating a target disk steps are a bit of overkill for such a simple task, not to mention, if you don't have those cables, running out to make such a purcha$e in this instance is not justified and a waste of time (IMHO) - But proof that with a Mac you can accomplish one task in several ways. -
I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.
Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.
