Does MAC OS have a "route add" command similar to a DOS command?
I know that with DOS, you can type "route add 192.168.x.x MASK 255.255.x.x 192.168.x.x" to add a route on your PC,but does MAS OS X(10.4.9) have something similar to it? I have a network printer that my winXP can access but my MAC cannot. I was unable to ping it from both wINXP and MAC. But after I added the route to my winXP I was able to ping and print to it. I do not know if I can do the same to my MAC. Does anyone know what the command is?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, and Welcome! ...

Does mac book have power point ?

does mac book have powerpoint?

I believe new Macs are delivered with a trial version of Microsoft office, but when the trial runs out you then have to purchase it if you want to continue using it. If you don't have the trial version you can buy Microsoft office for Mac from the Apple store and other retailers.
Alternatively you can download either Open Office or Neo Office - both of these have very good presentation software and it's completely free.

Does MAC OS have a "show desktop" function?

I want to be able minimize all windows instantly, to reveal the desktop, when desired. MS Windows has an icon in the task bar that performs that function. Very handy sometimes. Does the MAC OS have a similar function?
Thanks, Vince.

Use Exposé. One of the three commands pushes all the window off to the side of the closest screen edge and shows you the desktop. If mapped to the F keys, it is usually F11 that does the +Show Desktop+ trick. Push that button again to put your open windows back to where they were before.
You can change the Exposé settings in System Preferences +Exposé & Spaces+ pane, Exposé tab.

Does Mac book have Siri?

Do any of the mac books have Siri in them?

Sadly no they don't but macs do have a dictation and speech option ( found in settings) which can read you emails, notes or really any text. If you press Fn twice on an email or somewhere you would need to write you can speak and it will dictate it for you though! But, generally it doesn't have the ios Siri on iPhones and ipad. Maybe someday they will!

Does Mac Mini have inferior Airport Card?

Ok after days on the phone with numerous Apple tech reps and no answers I want to hear from other Mini users.
Problem is I cannot get the Mini to pickup the Airport Extreme base station in the other room which is only 17' away, through one wall. Have eliminated all possible interference issues. Changing channels in the Airport utility didn't help. When the Mini was in the same room as the Airport I had no connectivity issues. Airport was hard wired to an older iMac (lampshade).
Now if I move the Airport closer and in direct view of the Mini (in separate room) I can pick up the Airport on the Mini. Not a strong signal but I do get a wireless connection. Soon as I move Airport back and out of view it drops. Also if I close door to room signal drops.
Next thing I did was reverse the computer scenario. I hard wired the Mini to the Airport and placed the iMac in the other room. Had no connectivity issues here at all, in fact the iMac had a very strong signal even with the Airport placed over 20' away behind a wall and door closed. To me that seemed to eliminate any interference issues.
So next call to the Apple tech I suggested that maybe I have a bad card in my Mini. He respectfully disagreed and said the iMac has a better antenna and that is why it had no connectivity issues. So I asked him if the Mini Airport card was inferior to the iMacs, even though the iMac was about 6 years old. He said no and then said I needed to speak with higher level Apple techs. He transferred me but after 2 hours on hold I hung up.
So do I have a bad card in the Mini or is just an inferior product? Seems to me that I shouldn't have these problems connecting the Mini wirelessly. Seems absurd to have to have the Mini and Airport base station in direct view to get a connection. Anyone else with these issues? I especially want to hear from users in 12,000' MacMansions using Airport and the Mac Mini.

The simple answer to your question is no, the mini doesn't have an inferior Airport card. In fact, it uses a standard card that can also be found in other Apple products. However, it does have a smaller antenna, and of course the antenna is mounted inside what amounts to a metal enclosure which makes the system a little less sensitive to wifi signals - particularly if there is anything placed directly on top of the mini's casing. It also means the mini's wifi reliability is affected a little more by sources of interference in the area, thus things like microwave ovens, cordless phones, other wifi networks on the same or adjacent channels, structures which reflect or deflect radio signals etc will tend to impact on the mini's signal strength and connectivity somewhat more than might be the case with other wifi devices in the same location.
Typically you will find that even small changes in the location of the mini or wifi access point will affect signal quality. In this situation I would be inclined to download a copy of something like AP Grapher (from www.versiontracker.com) and use it to examine the strength and quality of signal, trying to find a location where the mini or access point give optimal signal strength and lowest noise.
It is also possible that while the Airport card in your mini is working perfectly well, the connection to the antenna is not firmly made. If the system has been worked on at all, this is not an unusual problem, and there have been indications of some minis being sold where the airport antenna is not firmly connected, giving poor (or even no) wifi connectivity.
I must say that at one point I had a very poor connection to my domestic wifi from a G4 mini used as a media center, such that moving data to it became quite tedious and prone to failure. I found the Airport signal strength was generally quite low, despite there being little more than about 20 feet between the system and base station. I checked the Airport base station's transmission strength and found it had been set low, so reset that to full power and that helped a great deal, but eventually replaced the Apple base station with a Belkin wifi router, and that has resolved the problem completely.
Since wifi is merely radio at a frequency and power that is susceptible to interference, deflection, absorption and degradation, even over short ranges, there can be many factors affecting signal strength and quality. Usually a bit of experimentation with positioning devices helps a great deal, but you may want to get your mini checked to ensure the antenna is correctly located and firmly connected.

Does mac mini have lithium ion battery

I live over seas and I bought a new mac mini online, they are not available here. I am having it shipped to my sister who will then ship it to me. With the law stating that lithium ion batteries cannot me sent in air mail, will this effect the mac mini? I tried searching online for an answer but couldn't get an exact answer. Thanks for your time.
Josh

AFAIK, the Mac Mini has no batteries (although it would be nice that it had a battery, because that way you'd have the same protection as a laptop against power outages)

Does Mac Mini have a microphone port?

I am thinking of purchasing a Mac Mini and I was looking at pictures and it doesn't look like it has a microphone port. I was curious if this is true?
Thanks,
Daniel

Instead of a plain "no," I'll suggest you look at the Griffin iMic. Many users, even before the Mac mini came along, have found it works very well.

Running a DOS Command through a JAVA GUI

I'm trying to run a command line through a GUI.. how would i go about doing this... suppose i wanted to run the following dos command inside a java program:
String command = "jar cvf classes.jar open.java close.java"
Does anyone have a good model I can look at that can implement a dos command?

Maybe you can refer to this resource , I can not remember the Class, It seems like this Runtime.getRuntime().exec() ?? It can execute your command.

[Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to add music to my phone.
Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

Does my mac automatically create an email contact list (that I can go to) as I compose emails or do I have to manually add contacts into my address book?

Does my mac automatically create an email contact list, or do I have to manually add emails to my address book?

Hi there. You email contact list is in your address book. These are from a list you make or by you emailing someone. If you are talking about setting up email so to send and receive. With a clean install that is done when you set up you computer. Otherwise you have to open mail and go to mail preferences/accounts and set up your email account. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201728 http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1277

Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

Route add command

Hi!
I have a machine with many network interfaces. I would like to add a command to say that for a destitanations tha packets shoudl be sent on port hme0 and that the source IP should be x.x.x.x
I now the following command but how can I specific the interface hme0?
route add 172.24.169.136 10.211.4.1 -setsrc 10.211.4.211

Hi!
Thanks for the help. I managed to add the route record. My problem is that it's not in the wright place.
My netstat -rn is:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.41 U 1 0 qfe0
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.43 U 1 0 qfe1
10.211.4.0 10.211.4.28 U 1 117 hme0
172.24.169.0 10.211.4.214 U 1 6 hme0:1
224.0.0.0 10.211.4.28 U 1 0 hme0
default 10.211.4.1 UG 1 255
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 5 77 lo0
After adding the following route:
route add 10.211.4.0/24 10.211.4.214 -interface
And the resulting netstat is:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.41 U 1 0 qfe0
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.43 U 1 0 qfe1
10.211.4.0 10.211.4.28 U 1 119 hme0
10.211.4.0 10.211.4.214 U 1 0 hme0:1
172.24.169.0 10.211.4.214 U 1 6 hme0:1
224.0.0.0 10.211.4.28 U 1 0 hme0
default 10.211.4.1 UG 1 259
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 5 77 lo0
So this means that the new rout record for 10.211.4.0 was put in the routing table below the old registration. If I know well the routing table is used from top to down it means that new registartion has no effect. Is there any way to put this as the first registration or at least above the old one?
Thanks.
