Hello all!
So here is my dilemma, I'm connecting an iPad to a mac mini via an app called Screens which uses VNC. When a computer is connected via VNC it doesn't want to go to sleep or activate screensaver. Well I need that to happen. I found a workaround in an app called PowerManager, which has a function that states "run script after ___ amount of inactivity, and it works and starts the screensaver even while connected to VNC! but it is $50 and I have to put it on multiple machines. I only need this one function, so I was hoping to write an applescript that basically does the following,
after 8min of inactivity run screensaver.app
and that script obviously has to be running continuously.
So yeah, any help would be much appreciated, I haven't done too much scripting but I can follow instructions.
Thank you!

I have always found it works better to use the space bar than the trackpad, but that's just my experience.

I notice if you stare up on your screen from below (ie: lie down on bed.. and look upwards on your screen) you can really see faint diagonal lines swimming all over your screen.
This LCD really disgusts me.

If you know that, can't you check with the source? Because I had not heard about such a feature before...

It must be true as it's in the Guardian (http://shopping.guardian.co.uk/gadgets/story/0,1587,1115007,00.html).

I'm still very much learning how to make a website so I apologise with this stupid question. I've had my website/porfolio (http://www.cookingwithatreus.com) up and running for a while and am now wanting to put some of my short films on there. I have the webspace so why not?! My problem is I don't know how.
I want to click a button on the website and have a new window pop out. On the left would be the list of available clips (as flash buttons), on the right would be "theatre" where the videos play. My problem is... how do I do it? What is this called? I've tried googling it up but seeing as I don't know what it's called, I'm rather confused. A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the basic question, I've been using Flash for a while and like it. It's when moving outside of Flash that I get very lost.
Example Here's (http://www.cookingwithatreus.com/Theatre.htm) a quick mock-up of what I'm trying to do. The white border just shows what the size of the proposed pop-up window will be.

Hey there.
An easier way to allow other users to use applications is by going into the System Preferences (can be found in the applications folder) click on 'Accounts'. You will see a list of all users on the left hand side. click on your family member's account and go to the 'Limitations' tab. Here you can allow your family member to use selected applications, burn CDs, modify the doc etc.
Hope this helps!

welcome! There is an introduce yourself type thread in the
community discussion. It is 'sticky' meaning it is always at the
top of the list. You may want to introduce yourself there.
I hope you enjoy MacRumors! :D

Turning brightness all the way down does not turn off the notebook's internal display. All it does is it turns off the backlight but the screen is still on. You can confirm this by pointing a flashlight to the screen: you can still see the images there.
It has always been this way, and my best guess is that it will be in Lion as well.
ok :/ Please implement this Apple. The laptops will run much cooler when using an external screen
I just installed Lion and testet it, the trick in Snow Leopard dont work anymore and the fan speed was around 4000-6200RPM and 70c when just switching spaces. The cpu usage was about 30-50%. I tested just with the internal screen on and the cpu usage was about 0-2% and the fan speed 2000RPM. WTF Apple! Fix this ASAP.
SwichResX do the job in SL but that program using to much CPU... Well, it�s better than 30-50 % cpu
...The magnet trick still work

I don't usually expect replies from sellers like these.
And accessories was the best place i felt, probably means i've got a lot less eyes on the thread though :/

That's not much less that we pay for a factory unlocked phone up here from the Apple stores. I'm guessing OP is not in Canada, though.
Yeah but those iPhones are locked to AT&T

It isn't enough just to convert to AIFF, the sampling rate and bit depth you choose for the conversion MUST match your Sequence settings in Final Cut. In almost all instances this will be AIFF at 48khz, 16 bit, but there is the chances you have Final Cut's Sequence set for 32khz, 12 bit.
You can change the settings for this in iTunes or just use QuickTime Pro or SoundTrack Pro to do the conversion.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
I am also using Parallels n Win 7 in an Intel 320 160GB SSD.
Parallels does NOT partition your drive. Hence Disk Utility will not detect any partition.
Go ahead n just erase.

I was wondering if anybody has this case, and if it is ok. Or any other generic substitute case.

I have a couple websites that are hosted on the "Web" area in my iDisk and am wondering how I can setup my web editor of choice, Coda, to access the site remotely. From what I understand, this is the same area where iWeb created site are deposited. I have been getting my with drag and drop so far but it can be a PITA.
Bonus question: Anyone successfully run a WordPress site on .mac?
Any help or insight greatly appreciated. -Hugo :confused:
FTP access available for .mac? I'd really like to live edit via Coda. Thanks!

My IPod touch 3g is only 4 months old but I get about an hours use before the the 20% battery life come up. I brought it back to Apple and everything checks out. I love the unit but the battery life sucks. I have gone on line and checked out how to get better batery life, but If I did what it says to do, it would be useless.

So the Demo came out this week. I played a game using 'Game Flow' and actually really liked it, I played as the Jets, so I have a feeling the OC will be different with Manning, but being told the play through the headset is really awesome.
I tried to run the Wildcat once with it, and it seems that like in the NFL, the game has found out how to effectively stop it from gaining big yards...
The only irritating thing with it so far is in kicking, I managed to get squib kicks and onside kicks pretty much nailed in 10, but with this new control system it seems a bit lacking in terms of determining accuracy.
Locomotion seems cool too, with Greene picking up a nice 15yard TD and a 30 yard run because of leaning away from defenders :D
All in all, I'm looking forward to it's full release and hopefully if other Macrumors people play it, setting up a league.
The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the fact that the USA gets it on my birthday, but I have to wait 3 extra days :(

Hey all,
For sale I've got an unlocked 8gb iPhone, it was sent to me refurbished from Apple as a replacement for a new phone, and has been barely used and is in perfect shape.
It'll be sent to you with the 1.1.4 firmware completely jailbroken and unlocked with all of its original accessories (the headphones are brand new and unused).
Included with this is a 3 year extended warranty from SquareTrade (http://www.squaretrade.com/) that even includes accidental damage (ie spills, drops, etc).
Also included is I can laser etch any image that you wish onto the back of the iPhone prior to shipping it to you. Send me an image and I'll slap it on the iPhone and then send it on its merry way to you.
I'm looking for $500 shipped within the US. Anyone from overseas is welcome to inquire as well but shipping will obviously cost extra.
Thanks for looking!
EDIT:
Looking for $475 for this guy now.
