OS X :: Using 4GB Memory Limit With Snow Leopard?
Jul 8, 2009i have a mac book pro ( 15 inch, 2.4ghz, late 08)
the memory limit is 4 GB. Is this an OS limit which will be blown away with snow leopard, or is it a hardware limit, which will remain regardless of 64bit OS?
other MBPs have 6 or 8GB limits, which makes me think they may be hardware related

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Mail App Limit On Displayed Folders?
Feb 29, 2012We have a user with a large number of folders of saved mail stored locally (on my mac). I haven't counted the number of folders in the list in Mail, but the last 6, alphabetically, do not display in the list of folders. I can, by going into ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes (I think it's in Mailboxes) see the missing folders and even open the messages in them, the folders simply don't display in the Mail app (v4.5).
Does anyone know if there is (there appears to be) some limit to the number of folders Mail can display? If so, is there some workaround to get it to display them so the user can access his mail through Mail app? why these particular folders are not showing up.
It seems like it must be a limit issue since it's not chronological (i.e., they aren't the most recent folders created) but alphabetical (they would, if displayed, be the last 6 folders in the list).

OS X :: Snow Leopard Drag And Drop Broken (85 Object Limit)?
Jul 12, 2010Normally consider myself quite able to troubleshoot my own problems, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do here, and can't seem to find many others who have the same problem. The drag-and-drop function in Snow Leopard appears to be either broken or deliberately crippled. My work sees me having to move a lot of files from folder to folder, and I've discovered that, as of fairly recently, I can no longer drag-and-drop more than 85 objects from one folder to another. Up to 85, everything works just fine -- but if I select 86, upon dragging I get an "X-ed out" icon, like the "no smoking" or "no parking" circle with a line through it.
I'm not quite sure what to do about this, but would be very curious and appreciative if anyone else has the same issue, or has figured out how to solve it! This, combined with the lack of a "cut" feature in OS X has begun to really impede my workflow.

OS X :: Edit HOSTS File - It's Empty
Sep 8, 2010I need to add something to the HOSTS file, here is the error message that appears when I try to log in. TextEdit[190:c0b] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x4403, name = 'com.apple.TextEdit.ServiceProvider' See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes. Using: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts It does open the file, but it is empty. Should it be empty? I can not save it after editing it. But, if i use sudo open -t /etc/hosts OR $ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts It doesn't give me any error, and it also opens the HOSTS file. But its empty! Im using MAc Osx 10.5 Any ideas of what's going on?

Sep 19, 2009I'm new to Mac so please be gentle!
I've just added a couple of entries to my HOSTS file to test whether it works the same way in Mac OSX (SL) as it does in Windoze.
I've found it does... and it doesn't.
My 4 test entries are totally blocked if I use Safari, but they're NOT blocked in Firefox.
Could someone tell me in simple terms why this is so, and if there's something I can do to make Firefox obey the HOSTS redirects?
OS X :: Using Hosts File To Block Websites?
Sep 27, 2009My computer will be shared for a couple of weeks and there are certain websites that i need to block... Let's say i want to block facebook, heres what i did:
Opened up terminal, then typed 'sudo nano /etc/hosts' Added '127.0.0.1 facebook.com' on the bottom, having them separated with TAB instead of spaces Pressed ctrl+o and enter to save the file, then ctrl-x to quit the nano thing. Then i typed 'dscacheutil -flushcache' for changes to immediatelly take place Quit terminal
Am i doing something wrong here? I can still open facebook.com in Opera after those steps.... Am i missing something?
OS X V10.7 Lion :: Make The Changes To The Hosts File Permanent?
Jun 5, 2012I noticed that in Lion my /etc/hosts and /private/hosts gets overwritten at boot time. This is rather annoying as I would use said file to store the IP to name translations of some local computers. Before editing I would always become root and use nano to edit the file.how do I make the changes to the hosts file permanent?

OS X :: Snow Leopard Takes Too Long To Sleep?
Aug 30, 2009I recently upgrade my leopard to snow leopard and when ever i put the computer to sleep it takes quite a while for it to actually go into sleep mode.
Now I tried pmset with no success like so: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
Why does snow leopard take so long to go to sleep, does anyone else have this issue? Is there anything else i could try to fix it. It says hibernatemode is 0 in pmset info table.

Mar 14, 2012I'm using Mac mail. I have a hotmail acct that I use MBOX mail as a go-between between it and Mac Mail so I can use IMAP and get me hotmail folders etc. It's working great escept for the fact that sometimes there are long delays where I don't receive emails that are coming in. Sometime not even when I click "get mail." I have to right click on the account and click "get info." That will start showing all the data on the account and usually bring in the new emails that have been sitting there for a while.
