You know, I think I did see a message about fsck doing something. I didn't realize that might have fixed the problem though. Thanks for mentioning that.

japtor posted:Wonder if that explains why the HTML5 beta performance has been blowing rear end for me lately. If I have the beta on, QTKit or some other process spikes the CPU and skips frames like crazy until videos finish loading, while ClickToPlugin and YouTube5 have been fine (have to leave the beta to get those working consistently). Yeah I've had similar really weird issues. Also, it thinks most videos are 48 seconds sometimes.

I've got an iMac, a Macbook and a printer on my home network. The Macbook and printer are connected to the router via WiFi, the iMac is wired. I've noticed that I can't access the Macbook with the iMac and vice versa when the iMac is only connected via UTP, and I can't print from the iMac either. However, if I enable the WiFi on the iMac, everything suddenly works as it should. Does anyone have an explanation for this, or ideally a remedy (aside from enabling WiFi on the iMac permanently)?

Do LAN and WLAN share the same DHCP and subnet range? What router do you have? What is UTP?

Howdy OS X thread- I'm helping a friend of mine with her iMac; she's wanting to wipe the drive because she is going to be selling it to a roommate and using her MacBook pro as her primary machine. The problem is that she doesn't have her install DVD anywhere, it went missing some time ago. We do, however, have the Lion installer that she kept when she upgraded. Can we put the iMac into target mode, hook that up to her MBP, then use the MBP's disk utility to wipe the drive and then instal Lion using the installer we downloaded from the App Store? I remember when it came out, Lion was an upgrade app only but wasn't sure if that's changed.

I know that this may not be the BEST place to ask this, but you guys rock, and who knows, there may be a Mac application to help out! Looking for recommendations for link validation programs, i.e. I give the program a URL and it crawls and checks that each link is active and working. When tasked with one off websites, I usually used the link checker in IE, but I need to check dozens of sites in a very short about of time. GUI is fine, script is better, just need a direction for a quality program that you can vouch for. Free is preferable (cause honestly, if I had time and couldn't find something, I would code it myself), but I guess I could stomach a small fee.

A UTP cable is just a standard network cable, but maybe we use that acronym wrongly over here.

I don't know how to check which DHCP both connections have, but they're both getting their IPv4 configuration automatically via DHCP and the IPs are on the same subnet (192.168.0.xxx).

japtor posted:Had that one too, like it locks up on loading the page for a sec then just decides the rest of the video doesn't need to be loaded or something. Getting out of the HTML5 beta and using one of the extension tricks works fine. Along these lines, has anybody noticed that ClickToPlugin and YouTube5 aren't playing nicely together? If I use just ClickToPlugin to do everything as HTML5 then it loads YouTube videos instantly and plays straight away. YouTube5 has a much, much better player though (links to original videos, quality selector, just nicer visually) but if I install it as well it seems that I get a good 5-6 second lag/beachball when a video starts to load. I've only noticed this recently and have got YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook killer scripts deleted from the CTP preferences to stop them both trying to have a go, and it doesn't seem to be as big a problem if CTP is disabled and just YT5 is running.

I used to have a certain model Billion router which refused to pass multicast DNS packets between interfaces. This ultimately meant that all the poo poo that relies on Bonjour (file sharing, printer sharing, iTunes sharing etc) would not work if one machine was on the wireless and the other on wired. Haven't come across any other routers with the same issue (even other Billion ones) but it could be possible... unless it only just started happening?

What does everyone think about full disk encryption software? It looks like the two options now are PGP Whole Disk Encryption (now owned by Symantec) and upgrading to Lion to use Filevault's full disk encryption (I'm still on Snow Leopard). Aside from PGP costing extra, are there any pros/cons to either of them? In the past it looks like there have been compatibility issues when Apple sent out an update that broke PGP's firmware integration, but recovery disks took care of it.

Filevault 2 is pretty seamless, and aside from requiring the recovery partition and having to login before most stuff boots up I haven't really noticed any difference with it on. (also you can encrypt your Time Machine backups, although you have to reformat first)

I have been given a project at work to go through each entry of our dilapidated joke of a database and print each entry. The database entries are all accessable through a url ending in Detail.php?id=46, id 46-140. Each entry must be scaled down to fit on one sheet for print. So far I’ve been painstakingly going through each entry one by one, page previewing, scaling down the print job, then printing. It’s a pain in the buttox. I really want to use automator to do this for me. Is there a possibility of automator doing this for me? Additionally, I am at work using Windows but I’d VNC into my MBP to do it. So, instead of printing I guess I’d just need each page scaled down or saved into an image or PDF file so I can transfer them here to work and print. edit: At this point, I'm desperate for any other solution than the one I'm currently doing. edit2: This appears to be the type of thing ya just gotta do yourself. Oh well!

As far as I can remember, the issue started the moment I changed the iMac from wireless to wired, so it might be a similar issue as the one that you've experienced. Did you find any way to remedy it? I'll try to connect my old wireless router to the network later tonight; if it really is something the matter with the current wireless device, it might work when I change it up. I've been dreading to do it, however, because many people have reported difficulties getting the ISP-issued modem/router to play nice with their own routing devices. I'll see if I can fix it that way.

I think this has come up before in the thread, but do people have a preferred alternative to Mac OS X Lion address book? I really hate the new address book because of the two pane layout (I use a lot of groups for my contacts). The hacks to make it look like the Snow Leopard address book aren't useful to me because it's the functionality and layout I hate. It's strange to me that there are several alternative calendars and email clients but not address books.
