Need Help Setting up Hosts File (Leopard Clean Install)

Over the weekend, I did a clean install of a retail copy of Leopard. Yes I wiped my entire hard drive and re-installed. Today at work I need to configure a series of host file entries so my computer can recognize certain computers in my domain by name instead of by IP. I did a quick look for Netinfo Manager in Utilities and found it is not there. Where in Leopard do you go to make the Host file entries.
I know this is a newbie question, but thanks in advance.

You can go straight to the file and amend
In Finder select Go to Folder and type /etc
With TextEdit or similar you can add additional entries.

Need help setting up a file sharing with VISTA

Hi,
Can somebody help me with setting up a connection to a Windows Vista computer. I followed all the instructions from this forum but still it doesn't work.
Here is what I'm doing:
1) Sharing -> File Sharing -> enabled
2) Sharing -> Options -> activating SMB
3) Network -> Options -> WINS -> "WORKGROUP"
4) Network -> Options -> 802.1X -> activating 802.1X
Under Sharing I see a lable which tells me that Windows user can access my computer via the address smb://x.x.x.x
In Windows this address doesn't work and I cannot see my Mac computer nor can I see the windows computer on the mac.
It worked so well with TIGER.
Do you have set the DHCP to automatic address on both, Mac and windows or do you use a static ip address?

In windows when you do "map network drive" you need to enter "\\server\share" (without quotes).
In Vista, go to the Windows Button > Computer. The "map network drive" option is in the bar in the top of the window. You may need to enlarge the window or click on the little expand arrow to see it.
smb://server is used when you're connecting to a windows share from the MacOS.

Need help setting up wireless file sharing

We have 3 iPhones, 3 iPads, and 2 iPod touch devices. We recently purchased the Apple air port extreme, air port express, apple tv, and a western digital external hard drive my book (for Mac) 2t. I need to know how to get photos from my phone to the hard drive wirelessly. My husband and I each have 1,200 photos on our phones we would like to back up to the hard drive. The air port app shows we have a hard drive connected, but we can't figure out how to move photos to it. Please help!

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

How can I solve error 3194? My hosts file is clean!

Hi, I try to restore my iPhone and iPad which both are a jailbroken iOS 5.1.1 to a clean 5.1.1 (and no, I don't want to update to iOS 6).
Now when I am restoring them with shift+click restore and choose the correct and clean iOS 5.1.1 ipsw it gives me error 3194 after extracting.
Error 3194 can be solved by cleaning the hosts file in system32,drivers,etc folder BUT my hosts file is clean and I can ping gs.apple.com . Deactivating Firewalls didn't help. I don't think it's a connection problem between my PC and gs.apple.com . Some say you get this if you have a jailbroken device. Well thanks, now I know why I'm getting it, but not how to solve it
So. How can I restore my phone and get rid of error 3194?
Even a clean iTunes on a friends PC couldn't restore my iOS devices. My iPod nano restored w/o any problem.
Thanks

Reboot and see whether it goes away.

Hi,
You may need to design the site again in older version OR may be copy and paste in place from new to old except what is new in the latest version.
Hope that helps!

Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Teresa,
I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

I need help setting up an apple id for my sons phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.
