I have a similar problem with my ibook. Any time I try to use it at school, where the wifi network is not broadcast, I have to completely reconfigure the airport to connect to it.…

You can create a new location profile by going to System Preferences/Network. Click the Location button and select New Location. After creating a new profile you need only select…

And this belongs in Networking so there it goes!

Yes I keep having the same problem, first on my 17" G4 and now on a MacBook Pro. I fixed it once on the 17" by completely deleting all network preferences. And it worked fine for a…

Does anyone know if there is an invisible ipod shield that covers the screen, and back of the ipod video? I can't find a website that sells them. If anyone knows, please tell me a…

You might not need one. I've only had my iPod video for a few hours but I'm 99% sure that Apple covered the whole front of it with a hard clear plastic shell. It seems to me to b…

Hey everyone - I'm trying to rip a DVD of my band performing live to use in our newest reel. I've used mac the ripper to pull the whole disc onto my HDD, but it's not in a format …

I'll third it for the MPEGstreamclip solution FFMpegX is shareware and worth paying for if you are using it a lot. I've you've got Toast6+ you can extract .dv files with that

You might want to try Handbrake. It's free and works well. http://handbrake.m0k.org/index.php

I tried Handbrake to create an Ipod Video movie and was very impressed with how easy it can rip a DVD. You can do it all in one step, very sweet.

I'm about to buy an iPod, but since most of my music/recordings [90%+] are mixed in some fashion ... I'm not sure how current iPod owners [all 30 million +] have gone this long wit…

You can combine CD tracks when you rip, which just gives you an album long single track. Other than that there aren't any work arounds. I would submit a request for gapless playb…

I'd like to run my own mail server off my OS X box at home (Panther Server.) Unfortunately my ISP blocks port 25 in order to reduce spam. Is there any way to get around port 25 be…

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do that. You can easily change the port. Unfortunately, everyone sending mail to you won't know where you've moved to. And outbound will sti…

Thanks for the response. Back when I was on ISDN I ran an email server off my Debian box. Guess that's because it was ISDN- who'd run a spamming business off of that? This articl…

Well that's kind of what I was talking about. You can move off of port 25, but you have to have a relay or some other gateway upstream that does the port 25 to port relay for you.…

I'm using just the static (more or less) IP from my ADSL line. I'm using No-IP to reverse DNS(?) whatever.whatever.net to my IP at home. With ISDN it worked great; just a few chang…

Anyone with a server on the Internet can relay email for you. Maybe you can set up a trade with someone. Could be worth a post on the postfix or sendmail mailing list- you'll probl…

Gavin thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out

Yahoo BB is now blocking outgoing traffic on port 25? Man, how times are changing... guess with the 100mbit optical lines (they do optical now, I assume), they've probably had to c…

Have you tried contacting your ISP and asking them to stop blocking that port? How about using port 587? They don't block that port, generally. I emailed my ISP so I could use m…
