I have recently switched over to mac (SR MBP!) and I'm in love with it. I am, however, having problems finding a suitable MUD client (Multi User Dungeon) for which to play on. I tried atlantis but it doesn't like the mud's I play on and everything else seems to not run because they are not universal binary. Do any of you have an suggestions for clients?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking of making the jump and making my first Apple computer purchase. Time machine will be a welcome native backup solution, especially since I can do it over the network automatically. However, I've read that Time Machine naturally requires HFS+ formatted disks. But I will still have my Win7 laptop for gaming purposes, and of course that requires NTFS or FAT32 for writability. My question: Can I just take a TM compatible external drive, split it into two partitions, and then specify that each computer backup onto its own partition with its own file system?

I know it shows up in the weekly view, but it would be more helpful for me to have it up show up like this so I can get an overview of the month's forthcoming events. Or if it, are there any mods/addons etc that can enable this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedReguarding Lion Server upgrade strategies: I have a macmini running 10.6.8 client serving Filemaker files, acting as File Server, and running a development web server. It runs as a normal non-admin user (nomad) utilizing a seprate admin account with admin privilages (guardua),for security. I run multiple shell scripts, apple scripts and Filemaker scripts. Many of which which use hardcoded file locations. Some bash scripts run under the non priv user other under the admin account. I also have a thrid user account which acts as rsync destination. Considering most files and programs are under the non-privileged user, I'm wondering how this user / admin account set- up will work when transitioning to Lion Server. (?) Will ther server app and scripts work with this set up? Do I need to upgrade the non-admin user (nomad) to admin privilages? I'm user sure how users and admin users work under Lion Server.Should I upgrade to Lion then to Lion Server? --Or-- perhaps do a clean install of Lion/server then reload from timemachine? Start from scratch?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an iPhone 4 as well as a Mac loaded with the new Facetime beta - after all the fun of calling myself from my phone to computer and calling a couple friends from my computer it dawned on me that when someone wants to facetime with me, they have to know where I am at. If they call me via my email address they will get me on my Mac, but if they call me on my phone number they will get my phone...obviously - what I am saying is that by having 2 places to look it makes it difficult to just "call someone".
I understand that this is no different than finding someone at home/cell/office numbers, but there are features for those to locate you - I wonder if Apple has addressed this or will in the final release? I think what is needed is a way for facetime to have "find me" feature. I think that maybe it could "ring" in to the Mac first, then to the iPhone second, or vice vera depending on how you want it set in your preferences.
which do you recommend? I haven't used any, i know my windows buddies love �torrent, what do you guys recommend?!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been experimenting with many bittorrent clients for mac (utorrent, vuze, transmision, tomatotorrent) and they are all consistently slower to download a file that the original Bittorrent client for Windows. I compared them downloading the same file at the same time (the windows client running under parallels), and always the windows client beats the hell of the others. Is there a mac client comparably fast to the windows one?

I have tried very hard to find the answer to my transferring question, but nowhere do I find my answer nor does Apple offer free help or even help by email.
So here is my issue. I want to transfer all my personal data from my HOME user account on my MacBook to a NEW user account on the SAME MacBook. The reason is that my Microsoft Office has a certain issue that is only solvable by starting up in a new user. So now I want to transfer all the personality, data, files, and all that from my home user to the new user on the same computer. After that, I want to delete the old Home user and make the new user the default home user account.
I've been a long-time reader on these forums, but the search feature I have not [had a great reason] to register until now. There is plenty of rambling on my reasoning for this, but I'm basically deciding whether or not to get a Mac Pro in the very near future.
One of the biggest questions I have is how much software is currently multi-threaded? I suppose the concern there is, if I spring for the 8-core, will I need to repurchase much of this software for a HUGE performance boost and to utilize the 8 cores outside of multitasking? It feels like the biggest bottleneck is software, currently.
How can I make my Dock multi-line? Or does anybody know the software that supports this feature?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I got a My Passport 500gb drive I want to use for work, the problem is I use both PC and Mac. Logically I have to set it up to Fat32, the problem is I do use files that are larger than 4gb. My solution is put a zip program in my external that can zip those exceptional files into smaller increments. I know winrar can do that for windows but I don't know any in Mac.
alternatively I can install MacDrive on PC but I can't install programs on PC(from work) compared to mac where I can run it off the external.

The game really requires use to use SVN to sync files, and I just usually use Tortoise SVN for Windows, is there anything as good or better for Mac?
also, I own a GMOD server so I would need a FTP client, any good ones for Mac?

View 2 Replies View Related I've got a Leopard MacBook with Screen Sharing turned on and a VNC password set. I've got a Tiger iMac with Remote Desktop enabled and a VNC password set, with Chicken of the VNC on it to use with the MacBook. I've also got an iPod touch with Mocha VNC Lite on it (not a great client, and I still have an older version cuz the new versions took away functionality, but it's the only free one I found). By the way, I also tried this with the updated version of Mocha VNC, and it didn't make any difference.
So I've had this setup for months, hell almost a year, with no problems. I haven't used VNC from the iPod much lately, but when I tried to tonight, this is what happened:
Viewing and controlling the iMac from the iPod was no problem. Worked as usual. But when I connected to the MacBook, it would load the very top part of the screen (maybe 200-250 rows of pixels, I really don't know) and then seemingly freeze. No more would load, what did load wouldn't ever refresh, and even when I tried to blindly control with the iPod's keyboard, nothing happened. Only the VNC app didn't freeze, it was still responsive as ever, as if it was totally unaware that anything had gone wrong.
The weird thing is, when I go on the iMac and connect to the MacBook with Chicken of the VNC, it works fine again.
So basically...
iPod -> iMac, no problem
iMac -> MacBook, no problem
iPod -> MacBook, problem
Where could this be coming from? I don't know when it started exactly, but the only thing I can come up with is that it must have started when I updated to 10.5.8.
Students cannot log in to AD system from Mac clients Clients were functioning okay. I discovered some file permission problems. Some student folders were receiving inherited permissions allowing other students access to other students' folders. I corrected the permissions. The student folders are located here: \SERVERstudentsgradyearstudent name. Students have transverse folder permissions to students and grad year. Students have modify permissions to their own folder. Windows clients work. Mac clients, where the student has logged in before, appear to be logging in, but then fail, returning to a login screen. If the student has never logged into that Mac before they are shook off. It appears that the permissions required for the Macs to write to the student folders are now incorrect. But I cannot find information on how permissions should be set for home folders residing on a Windows server. Also, I am fairly new at OS X administration (3 months) and have not discovered what log files to view to analyze the problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently discovered a BitTorrent of great interest and after reading a little, found that I had a few questions that need answering before I dip my toe in to the unknown.
Q - is a BitTorrent client the same as an FTP client, and if not, what exactly is the difference?
Q - in looking to install a BitTorrent client that is both easy to configure and use, which of Fetch, Transmission, Vuze, BitTorrent etc would you recommend and why?
Q - can you point me to any other references or sites that may shed further light on what at face value I find to be quite a mystery?
