I want to give a Mac mini away for a couple of days to someone who would want to play with Mac for the first time. Is there a way to return OS X to a state where you find it straight after fresh OS X installation when Mac needs to be taken through registration process, given name, etc.
I want to install all the accompanying software like iLife'05 and apply all the recent OS and iLife updates and then "reset/deauthorise" OS X so that the new user did not have to install apps and download updates the first thing after powering the Mac up and going online.
If you are familiar with what sysprep does to Windows, that's what I am looking for Mac OS X.
I assume the process should include removing all the user accounts, deleting assigned Mac name and kicking in a registration app at startup.
I just hope one does not need to buy OS X server for that!

We have two iPhone 4GB models for sale. They come with the original boxes. One is perfect condition and the other has a very small dent on the top left side, and a couple of scratches on the back. They are both jail broken v1.1.3. I have a hip case and a neoprine case.
4GB like new SOLD Damn Meggan you are fast!
4GB coupleflaws SOLD
Buy one get the case you want free!
AGAIN, they are jailbroken, however, they are not anysim'd. Or if you prefer, I can restore them to a non jailbroken state.
Hurry, at these prices they will go fast.
NO DIBS! You want it, send to my paypal at chuckstacey{@}gmail.com Obsiously you don't put the brackets ;)
Thanks everyone for looking!

Also you should be able to install the surround speakers properly on the wall where the sofa is.

Nice! Was it hard to make? Do you have any fillings in there? If it's even a bit loose, it may sway while carrying it and wood is pretty tough so it could get dents or scratches.

I had on of these and gave it away.
My boss had one of those. I tried several times to get him to part with it but no luck.

Just a rant (or a whine) ;)
I was just giving you a hard time, it's the nature of my personality. ;)
On a related note, I recently took a few days off work and noticed that the hours I put in during the weeks leading up to my whopping 3-day vacation far exceeded the time off that I took. I already work a minimum of 10 hour days, combine that with the onset of an actual day off, it's absurd.
To me, and to many of my friends across the pond, US working conditions are for the birds. You should be able to take a vacation and not feel obligated to work extended hours to ensure things are ok while you're gone. I don't know if your situation is because others lack competence or what, but it's a shame that we have to wear ourselves thin just to take a couple of days off. In my eyes, the days off aren't worth it so I tend to "give back" 100+ hours of paid time off at year end each year.
Of course there is always one yahoo that counters with, "at least you have a job." Which is true but that doesn't negate poor working conditions.

Wow! Just wow. First, your movie editor cannot change your source footage. Second, DV is Digital Video. If you have analog video, then it impossible for it to be DV.
No need to be condescending. A simple explanation would suffice, especially when it's obvious he's looking for help.

Thank you very much! Is it normal that they pull the antenna cable when replacing the LCD?
Well, no, but it's a pretty tight fit in there so it seems feasible.
Oh, and do you have an AirPort base station? I'm assuming you cannot connect to any wireless networks, right?

I'm going to give it another shot. Didn't do much for me on the Playstation, bu then I got it at the same time as FF7 and the original Resident Evil (and Parrapa the Rappa :) ) so it didn't get much play time...

Not to be the pooper, but it looks really congested. Maybe have a floating shelf system under the TV, or something other than that huge shelf piece. I had a room when I lived in Florida, and at first, I had a huge book shelf and tv stand. I ended up getting a two piece glass setup for my ps3, dish box, etc., and some shelves that go on the wall from Ikea, which made the room much more spaced and open. For a room, I always feel like that less is more. Just my $.02.

The iPhone 4 was a failure at launch. The antenna is broken. It drops Internet connections and calls if held a certain. The glass claiming to be strong is weak sauce and the only good things on the phone are the cameras and screen.*
Am I the only one who feels this way?

That's essentially what I was looking for as well, first just a way of figuring out how the backlight LED levels are determined and then trying to see if it could be controlled.
Interesting. It works great for me in Xcode 3.2.6 on OS X 10.6.6. Are you using another version or OS? How does it break for you? I just created a new Application -> Command Line Tool -> Foundation, add IOKit to the project and away we go.

Mea culpa.
I just sort of autopiloted through creating a C program in Xcode 4. I should know better since I've been passing IOKit & CoreFoundation frameworks to gcc in a Terminal window for the past couple of evenings.
:o
Proof positive - yours works a treat on Xcode 4.0 on 10.6.7 on a MBP 8,2. Apologies for the confusion.
:)
FWIW, I've been basically trying to copy & update the OSX Book code you linked to but also found these other sources (using IOConnectCallScalarMethod):

I never stumbled across the google link you posted. Good info.

"There are lots because no one has been buying in anticipation"
i was at the local Apple store 4 days ago and the place was packed and i watched 3 iMacs and 7 notebooks and a mini leave in just over an hour. i mentioned MWSF to an employee and he laughed and said most people didn't know about it. they are not having ANY trouble selling stuff in the run up.
yeah, people who hit these forums are not buying, but everyone else is going to town and laying their cards down. look at estimates for Apples sales over the holiday! :D

I mean when clicking on the input box instead of it focusing on the input box for text entry, it instead focuses on the submit button.
While ie6 is not my target platform since the site worked so far without any alterations i don't mind supporting it.
IE6 is not very forgiving. If it works in Firefox then you most likely have html error(s)... things like missing close brackets /> and table cell <td></td> can effect that in IE6 where other browsers assume it's there and will still work. Have you tried and html validator?

Alright so here's my problem, my sister brought home a Macbook from her school and she just finished editing an iMovie file, and her friend needs to keep it at her house. I did screen sharing and I was going to upload the file to my dropbox from the computer, but the computer has a password to enter Safari, and won't let you go to any websites without the password. Is there any way to bypass this with some terminal command, or any other way to bypass the password just so I can upload this file to my dropbox.
Thanks
Thanks
