I read a post recently? about a program which enabled you to open two finder windows simultaneously, one above the other. Does anybody know the name of this program or can they recommend similar.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI bought my Mac a few weeks ago, and now I have successfully installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. But what my question is, if it is possible to run both operating systems simultaneously without having to shut down computer and hold down alt to choose. For example, I want to be able to just press a key when I am in Snow Leopard, and it should take me to XP.
And of course from XP to Snow Leopard, while I still run programs on the computer. Is this possible?
Is there a hard drive that i would be able to connect both to my mac pro and windows computer at the same time and be able to access them from both computers?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for some software for mac that allows me to record from up to 4 webcams at one time. So far I've only found this one called EvoCam, but I don't feel like paying that much and it's got way more features then I need so it's not worth it. I don't mind paying a bit of money but 95% of the features in EvoCam are useless to me.

I have an iMac and MacBook pro. I have my library on both machines. Keeping it current is a topic for another thread. But what I was wondering is... Is there a way to have both playing the same song simultaneously? I want to have both machines playing so I can keep my iMac in the basement, then bring my MBP upstairs with me. What if I access my iMac's library from my MBP via iTunes shared library? Or something like that??
Thoughts??
[By the way, I searched for hours and didnt see anything quite like this. I noticed other posts about keeping libraries synced but nothing about playing in both.]
I'm looking for a program that enables the built-in iSight camera in my Mac to be used in 2 applications at the same time.
I like to stream from my iMac wirelessly to my stereo. I have a 1st generation aluminum iMac running OSX10.6.3 and stream to an Airport Express basestation. I run the latest version of iTunes.
Whenever iTunes starts to automatically download podcasts that I subscribe to the streaming stops or plays with lots of sound drop-outs. It is incredibly annoying!
Sometimes I can't even surf the internet without getting sound drop-outs? What can I do to improve this?
I always keep my Macs clean so I don't have tons of third party plugins installed - for the very same reason
I have 8 Mbit download and 2 Mbit upload.
After a few months mild use on OS X I'm starting to get used to it more and more now. I love the column view, but find it really annoying that occasionally new finder windows will open in Icon view. What exactly is the point of the finder preference "always open new windows in column view"? It sounds pretty straight forward, but finder doesn't exactly pay much attention to it. When I'm viewing in column view and I command-double click a folder, finder will open a new window in Icon view, depsite my preference. I have to reset the new window to column view and then close it, and then when I repeat the command-double click it will open in column view but it kinda defeats the point. I've read numerous posts about finder not remembering views, I don't understand also why there's only an option for column view? why isn't there "always open in list view" or "always open in icon view" option?

If Finder has been running for a while, and I have a number of finder windows open, when I option-command-w, the Finder crashes and then restarts with all the windows that just closed.
When I close a finder window, the finder menu disappears and then reappears along with the finder window. It looks like finder is crashing and restarting. This started happening after I downloaded a pdf and put it in a folder. Maybe there is a bug in the way finder is rendering the image of the pdf file at the top of the finder window?
How can I restore normal behavior of finder?

I recently added a NAS with four main partitions (recognizes them as drives). Now, when ever I start up my mac, finder opens four panes, one for each drive. Is there any way I can prevent finder from automatically opening?
mac mini running 10.4, iomega network drive attached to linksys wireless router.
Information:
Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Just formatted my HD and now, for the first time ever, I have finder windows living their own life.
When opening the applications window by the short command cmd+shift+a the window appears like on the left but opening any other folder in the same way (via short commands) the window appears normal.
Is there anything that i can do to fix it back to the standard layout?
We have:
1. MAC OS X iAtkos 10.5.7 updated to the latest version.
2. GygaByte GA-EP43-DS3L
3. nVidia GeForce 8500 GT 256 Mb
4. Nec AccuSync LCD 223WM (LCD 23 ")
5. LaCie Electron 22 Blue IV (CRT 22 ")
Problem:
When connected to two monitors, one of them displays a welcome screen, and then both turned off.
Hoping for some help with this I would like to use my macbook and a Dell monitor simultaneously controlled through an external keyboard/mouse. What do I need to set this up?
I want to double the amount of "screen space" and use a keyboard and mouse for both.
Is their a way to simultaneously use the headphone ports on the back and front of the mac pro?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to hook up two external webcams to a Macbook or an iMac and be able to display a live view of both camera images at the same time.
It doesn't matter if the live view is a single app showing both cameras or two separate windows, as long as both images can be viewed simultaneously on the desktop.
Can anyone recommend the hardware (webcams) and software I would need to accomplish this?
I have a Canon 9950F scanner and an external G-Technology 1TB HD. I connect them through Firewire (800 for the HD and 400 for the scanner) and can use either of them separately with no problem, but recently I tried to use them simultaneously and found out that turning on the HD while using the scanner interrupts communication with the scanner. This happens with both a 2008 Mac Pro or a 2008 MBP.
Apple says this could be caused by the Canon scanner driver. Canon says it is an Apple problem. I can get around by connecting either peripheral through USB but I prefer to use the FW connections (800 for the HD and 400 for the scanner). Any thoughts?
Can you run two things simotaniously via one shell script?

First, my bookmarks toolbar disappeared from firefox. Tried reinstalling, but now firefox crashes while launching, every time. I have deleted all related files, reinstalling different versions, same result.
Trying to learn to live without firefox, I now find my other apps crashing randomly and simultaneously. I will have 5,6,7 apps crashing in one go, each popping up with a message saying that the crash won't affect other apps Sometimes half the open apps crash, and the other half follows 3 minutes later
I've repaired permissions and zapped pram.
I did a complete formatting and reinstalling OSX three months ago, because of other quirks, nothing like this.
With an external HD that has both firewire and usb 2.0, is it possible to use both at the same time? Can you plug firewire into your MBP and USB into another computer or router? Just wondering if there are any downsides to this. I would hate to be sucked into a black hole by plugging in both at the same time!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have 3 computers in my house.. 2 macs and a windows PC. The two macs are capable of running on a wireless N network... the PC on a wireless G.. I am currently running a netgear router at wireless G..
My question: I have a Airport Express which is capable of being a wireless N base station.. Is there anyway I can run my macs on wireless N through the Airport Express base station and my PC on wireless G through the Netgear router? I don't need for my PC to talk to any of my macs.. just need access to the internet..
I am fairly sure the airport express defaults to the slower of the devices connecting (G or N)..
I just had a quick questions that i've spent all day trying to research, maybe i'm not hitting the right key words. I have a wired xbox 360 and using wireless on my computer. The internet is a university internet that I put in an ethernet address to configure to. So I connect the internet from wall to time capsule. Anyways, Whenever I use xbox live I cannot hit my wireless at all. My iPhone cannot connect to my wireless at anytime despite xbox live or not. So it seems the case that one connection is being strictly devoted to. I have my time capsule on bridge mode, but haven't had any luck switching to shared or anything without errors. Is bridge mode the right setting, does anyone know if both connections can run together? It has always worked just fine for me but recently my time capsule broke and I had to get it replaced and since then I can't get things going smooth again.
