Applications :: Getting Support For Open Source Software
Jan 27, 2009
I've been using Macs all my life, but it was only with Linux and also once I got into web development that I learned the art of getting help from strangers for your software. Of course, this was for free, open-source software, so I know the ropes of that quite well. Parallels is giving me problems. It seems to be somewhat "disconnected" from my system: Networking is down, and the resolution doesn't adjust with the window's dimensions. What's the best way to get support for software that isn't built around a community? I expect the Parallels guys to show me the door, as I'm not using the most recent version (seems they release two new versions every year...).

I don't get any error message, just a blank page showing nothing. I don't get no time-out message or anything. I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.2 and I have tried deleting the cookies and resetting the cache.
Besides I also noticed that while trying to load [URL] the page won't load but I can see the source code.

I'm interested in running a Darwin OS, basically just the open source parts of Mac OS X. There isn't a whole lot of recent information that I've been able to find on my own. Seems like most sources top out at Darwin 8.

I received an e-mail attachment file from a trusted source, type .xfdl. Tried to open but was denied the reason was "this type of file may contain spam or a virus". I know the file has already been read by several individuals who said no spam or virus detected.

Anyone using Prey? [URL]
I tried it out, pretty impressed with it so far.
Registered my laptop as 'stolen' and it snapped my picture, tracerouted my network, located me on google maps, and I also made it sound an alarm. Pretty good for free

I own a new-generation MacBook Pro, and I'm a computer gamer. While there are some really good games out for the Mac OS (Enemy Engaged, anything by Blizzard), Windows is still where most computer gaming is centered. I don't want to drop $200+ on Windows just to play games (because that's all I'd use it for). So my question is: Is there any free, legal (i.e., open-source) option which can run in boot camp that will reliably play Windows games? I don't care how crude or sophisticated the user interface is, so long as Windows programs (especially IL-2 Sturmovik) run on it and it's free.

There is a program called ATP which is short for "Alternative Transients Program" that I need to use for my work. The developers are extremely protective of this software even though it is free to use. You have to send a signed contract agreement to them through snail-mail before you can get a password to the site to download the program. This program is only available for Windows and Linux. There is no alternative for OSX. Can I somehow use the source for Linux to compile and run on OSX? Obviously Fink isn't going to work because of the licensing it can't be added as a package to the repositories. running it through Linux or Windows with an emulator?

When I'm trying to capture on my iMac using FCP7 through a Canon XL1 I get this message: "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape". Now I know it's not the tape as when I use my iBook to capture (fcp5) it's fine. I know I could use the iBook but I've been having problems with it in other forms so I can't rely on that working forwver and once/when it dies, I'll be stuck. I've tried all the usuals: rebooting, different cam to transfer, different cables, re-instaling FCP and I'm still scratching my head.

I'm in the process of moving my iTunes folder to an external hard drive due to my computers hard drive being full. Now the external hard drive I'm using needs to be plugged in to a power source, now if I transfer all my music/movies to the external drive and also have my iTunes automatically download everything to the drive will I be able to copy my movie files back into my computers hard drive when I wan to be able to watch them on plane trips or would I be better off using a external hard drive that doesn't need a power source so I can just take it with me?

Previous version of imovie only supported 720 HD. I did not care much because m my old camera was only SD, but now I would like to edit my HD content with ilife but I am afraid that it would down-sample my videos. Does it now support full HD?

Need a quick answer, as I'm poised to get an HTC Hero.
My question is what are the support options for iSync?
Will iSync recognise it straight off ( doubt it )?
Are there third part developers offering a fix?

I've read around the forums a bit and found some discussion on connectivity for sending / receiving emails via Outlook. Is it true that POP3 support is not going to happen with Outloook for Mac 2011? I have been testing the software and am able to recieve emails from my Godaddy POP3 but can not send anything out.
Is there an email/calendar/notes client out there that is close to Outlooks functionality? I am a nub as this is my first Mac and would really like to know what else is out there that is comparable and combines the features mentioned earlier. So far I love the OS and the speed...My custom built PC has shut down for the last time.

I know Excel 2008 does not support VB macros, but did anyone notice that "Macros..." is still available under the Tools menu? I wonder why it's there? BTW, I saved an old file in Excel 2008 that had macros and then opened it in Excel 2004 to see if the macros are still there. They are. That's a big relief, because I know I can at least work on files that have VB code in them without worrying that if I save the file in Excel 2008 format the macros will go poof. Ooof

Well, Safari was acting up and being super slow, so I decided I'd try to see what happens when I turn Flash off. Well, the internet flys now. It seems SOO much faster. Its no wonder Apple doesn't support it. I really like how fast everything is now. Anyways, the point of this thread is: 1) Apple is smart to not support Flash 2) Try disabling Flash in Safari, it makes the internet so much faster.

I just noticed when I went to log in to the Apple Support Forum to post for the first time that the login page does not display the lock for it's security credentials in the upper right corner of Safari. Is this potentially an issue given that it asks for your AppleID that is used for iTunes? The webpage url starts with "https://" but it does not display the lock.

I'd love to see Final Cut Express get an update since it hasn't been updated since 2007! It does support up to 1080i HD widescreen, but 1080p is not supported. This is frustrating as iMovie is a consumer product and I prefer the look of Final Cut.
I know I could just purchase Final Cut Studio and get Final Cut Pro, and have 1080p support, but I don't want to spend that much money. Final Cut Express was perfect in that it had the look of Final Cut Pro! I wish Apple would release an update, but I haven't heard anything.

I recently installed Keynote 2009. I am trying to display a slide show in the Keynote 2009 window instead of full screen. I spoke with Apple support and was informed this feature was not available and to submit a feedback form. I have done as asked by Apple support. The current work around is to export the presentation to Apple Quicktime. Does anyone know a better work around to display my presentation in a window instead of full screen?

If your 1Passwords stops working you need to modify the SupportedBrowsers.plist File. This allows 1Password to work with this developer preview version of Safari. This file is located within 1Password App itself so you need to do the following: Right click 1Password and "Show Application Contents" Go to: Contents -> Resources -> SupportedBrowsers.plist Open this file with TextEdit and copy and paste the following(replace all the text in this file): OR Download the attached file and replace it with this version.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" [URL:....] <plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Camino</key>
