Any updates of good buys/purchases at the on-going PC Fair? Or are Apple products once again out of the limelight?

Wifi Network Connection

tinkerbel — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 10:15:18 +0800

Gurus,

I'd finally upgraded to Leopard and seem to be having some issues with Network Connection. I had no problems with wifi connection until I got into the office this morning.

As usual, I was prompted to put in the password and I did; but after a couple of seconds, I got a 'Connection Time Out' error. I tried resetting the password on the router in the office but it didn't work. I did however managed to get onto the Office Wifi when I disabled encryption.

Am now sitting in the midst of wires, figuring out what's wrong plus trying to put in my printer drivers; albeit needing to get a major report done and submitted by 4PM !!

Any help will be great as I can't be logging on through RJ45 all the time. And obviously I ain't about to disable encryption here. Also, what's gonna happen when I go outstation and need wifi?! *uGh*

I can't seem to find the 'short cut' key for print-preview - anyone found it?

Customised Icons

tinkerbel — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 09:41:27 +0800

Just wondering, how do u guys change the file/folder icons? I checked out the Help Section but I'm not able to select 'Copy' as per instructions.

What am I doing wrong? Or, could it be that I downloaded a set of icons which needs a 3rd party application to open? Can someone help me puhlleeeasse?! *grins*

OT Claims

A discussion ensued about OT claims and I figured it would be interesting to know which industries or who's able to make OT claims?

Appreciate if the poll can be kept for those who's working full time, and not part time

SuperDrive Update 2.1

tinkerbel — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 14:43:50 +0800

Hi people...

In the 2nd last software update, I believe I downloaded the 'SuperDrive Update 2.1' program. As usual, I just checked for software updates and just updated whatever that was written on it. Anyhow, ever since that update, I'd been getting this particular message each time I boot up my computer.

"No Updatable Devices Found". "No devices were found that requires this firmware update".

I checked and realised the message was coming from 'SuperDrive Update 2.1' and a quick spotlight search did show that I've got the SuperDrive Update 2.1 dmg file. Question is - is it OK for me to delete the DMG file so that i'll be rid of this 'notification' each time i boot up my pc? I've also tested and thus far, it doesn't seem as if there's anything wrong with my SuperDrive - as in, it works perfectly fine.

Any ideas / opinions puhlease?

Dictionary Attack?

tinkerbel — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 22:35:55 +0800

Sifus...

I'd been trying to get my emails sent off since this morning but haven't been able to. Initially, I thought it's got something to do with my mail server and decided to just let it be till I got home [btw, I'm still able to receive mails, and my colleagues have been able to use their emails from their respective workstation].

Am trying again from home but this time, I'm getting this particular error message which I've absolutely NO idea what it means

"The server response was: Connection denied after dictionary attack". Am wondering if someone can help me out? I've like 20 urgent mails sitting in my outbox waiting to be sent since this morning *sniff sniff*

Thanks a big big big bunch!

Windows to MAC - Should I?

tinkerbel — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 16:46:24 +0800

Hi all,

I'm currently in the market for a new laptop and seriously need some advice. My main concern isn't the technical specifications, but more to reliability, stability and in the case of a MAC, its user-friendliness and ease of change from Windows to Mac.

As a 'loyal' PC-based user, I'm once again questioning my loyalty to Unc Bill. I have in the last 24 hours, gained some knowledge about MACs through some of the related threads here, esp the "MacBook/MacBook Pro Users" and through MAC 101 just so i won't come across to all you experts here as 'naive' or 'stupid'

My main concern is mostly the fact that I'm a TOTAL illiterate when it comes to MAC products hence would like to know how difficult it would be to get used to the new OS platform?

PS: I am aware that XP's runnable on the MB/MBPs through bootcamp [though i've no idea what bootcamp is *oops*] but let's leave that advanced topic for another time. For now, just provide me with whatever U think I should know.
