Any suggestions? source

Since I found the Unlocker last week, I've been trying to figure out how I want to add an Apple ESXi 5.1 host to my lab. I recently purchased a late 2012 Mac Mini that I'm using as an HTPC and I can't decide if I want to use it as an ESXi host, then getting an older Mini to use as an HTPC. I have the i7 Mini (4 cores) and running a few VMs on it would really allow me to use its power instead of it being idle most of the time. Another option is getting another <$150 Dell server (2 x Xeon L5420 quad cores, already have 2) to use with Unlocker as a dedicated OS X ESXi host. I can't use one of those for OS X now because they're used to study for the VCP exam, which means I have to use vCenter Server. Unlocker doesn't work on hosts added to a vCenter Server. Another option is getting a 2008/2009 Apple Xserve. I've been doing a ton of Googling this weekend and it seems that there really aren't any major issues running ESXi 5.1 on the 2008 or 2009 Xserve.

Netkas again did it !! SOURCE Quote I have written a special rom for GTX Titan, which allows it to work in OSX 10.7.5 and 10.8.3. It supports both 32-bit MacPro 1,1/2,1 and 64-bit MacPro 3,1+. Since it involves several low-level hacks, hackint0sh user won’t be able to get it to work, sorry. I’ll upload the rom after I fix 5 GT/s issue, so far it runs at 2.5 GT/s. source

I'm getting a blue screen when loading up Windows 8 saying "......winload.exe is missing or corrupt" press enter to retry or F8 for startup options. I press F8 and nothing happens. Is there a way to recover windows 8 through bootcamp? source

Hello, I have two questions. 1) So I am making a script to mount my external shares. One share is the NAS and one is an USB disk on the router with the Samba capability. The script is a simple one: do shell script "mount -t smbfs //login:pass@<path to NAS> /<path to mount folder>" Executing the above on the NAS works great. Executing it on the USB disk (which is actually a samba share) doesn't work. I checked like 20 times for mistakes, but I see none. It says "No such file or directory" However, when I go to the Finder, "Connect to Server", and type in smb://router, it connects without a question. Pulls the info from the keychain also. Why is one Samba share working (NAS) and the other doesn't (router). 2) I turned on samba sharing on OSX, and I can access the shares from other windows computers correctly and also log into shares properly. However, I own a QNAP NMP-1000P media player, and it won't access the shares properly, no mat...

Hi folks, Here is my device list: diskutil list output (the screenshot above is slightly outdated cause I renamed "Windows NTFS" to "WindowsNEW" but this is not the point): in the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist I put the following lines: <key>Hide Partition</key> <string>hd(1,1) hd(1,2) hd(2,3) hd(2,2)</string> However chameleon is still showing me all the partitions. I've tried to mess up with this parameters by specifying volume names and specifying only one disk/partition. The only partition that I was able to hide was hd(2,3) Please point me what I am doing wrong... source

Hello everyone, I searched myself crazy on the net, reading the man page about security(1) and being quite a beginner, can't really pinpoint how to do this. I want to mount my NAS drive to a folder: a movies folder on the NAS to my Movies folder on the OSX drive in the Users/Kosta. It asks for the password in the Terminal when I script that. I can however type in the password in text and save the app as run only (Option 1). However, I would prefer to learn how to script a keychain password into the Applescript, without it really showing. I mean, not even sure if it makes sense, security-wise… should I just save the app as run only, or should I even bother with entering the keychain access, as in, if it's even more secure? Any help would be appreciated! source

I'm putting this here because let's face it, we're the ones buying up G5s like there's no tomorrow! Mac Of All Trades is selling WORKING G5s for $69+shipping, which for me works out to be $102 shipped. They are in good condition ("no significant cosmetic defects"), and have all the original components if you want to re-use anything. They will also be compatible with the front ATX conversion cables from BlackCH and Alohacab. Here's the link, I thought someone might find it useful: http://www.macofallt...516-sp-j03d.htm Heck, at that price you can probably get about $150 locally (at least on my Craigslist I haven't seen a working G5 under $150 in months) and end up with a free G5 case once you're done! source

Hi, Let me introduce my build. (already shown @ tonymacx86.com) It's a PowerMac G5 late 2004 (I suppose) ; I'm using BlackCH Front panel kit . Using the following hardware : - Intel i7 3770 - GTX TITAN (Zotac) - AsRock Z77 Pro 4-M - Corsair Dominator Platinum 1600 (16GB : 8x2) - OCZ Agility 3 (120 GB) - WD Caviar Green 15-EARS (1,5TB x 2) - LG BR Combo reader/writer - LEPA G750-MAS - Bluetooth dongle - D-link DWA-127 Wireless N150 - Scythe Mugen 2 revB (CPU Cooler) - Noctua PC NF-P14 FLX 140 mm (PSU Fan Cooler) I went through an easy-way, using Dremel to cut out the rear panel, just enough to get to the different plugs and stick the motherboard with the original G5 stands off. source
