Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'm running a traceroute on a client's FTP server (basically to prove to them that it really is NOT WORKING) and I've got 30 lines of *** so far, and it's still going.
How long will OSX keep trying before giving me a timeout message? I kind of want to go to lunch...
[eta: Went to lunch and it had timed out by the time I got back.]
Hey, meara, is it a wide flat slot? PCMCIA? Because a lot of the newer computers are coming with few or no slots of that nature. Or is it narrower like these expresscards? Those would probably be easier to find.
My cellular modem is USB for that reason; we needed it to work across an older laptop, and newer laptop, and a home-built desktop.
Or maybe look for an adapter?
I read about Google Chrome again and decided that it had been awhile and I'd try it again. I had my fling with Chrome, but like my fling with Opera and IE8, I always come back to Firefox in the end. There will be the times that Firefox will consume ungodly amounts of memory, but I just can't quit it.
It is a PC card, Liese. Sigh. that's what I was afraid of. Dang.
Maybe I can beg and plead for a change from work, for some...unknown reason. Hrm.
I don't know anything about them, but I understand there are adapters that would allow you to plug a PC card into a thinger that then plugs into your USB port. However, my initial foray on the web shows that a) they are expensive and b) they may be unwieldy for laptop use.
Not sure how I feel about this: New Mac clone maker to open retail store in Calif.
As a Mac lover, I think a lower entry point will help make the OS more accessible. As a shareholder, I don't want anything that could 'cheapen' the product.
I think, mostly, I'm pissed I don't live in LA area anymore to go check the store out on June 1st.
So, I'm trying to set up a Pro Tools machine (I got in a bad habit of updating regularly, and that's kind of a bad idea for Pro Tools).
I've installed OS X 10.5, and need to update to 10.5.4 before loading Pro Tools. How do I only update to that specific version, but no further? How do I keep Software Update from just running a "combined update" to take me to 10.7.whatever? Or will it do it in steps? How do I make sure that one particular step isn't too far?
I believe you can download update packs from the support section of the website.
You know, I posted this here before I saw what else was going on.

Digidesign has a FAQ somewhere that helps with that. Finding it is hard, once found, it helps a lot. There is also a utility or applescript that can help if you do the software update. Works most of the time.
