Virtual CloneDrive

Virtual CloneDrive

Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually.

Mac OSX 10.4.x finder is crashing/looping/closing folders

This was past on to me by a fellow coworker, sounds like a handy tip.

If your finder is crashing/looping/closing folders!!!

It took me weeks(!) to find this solution here, but I think at least for me it worked and could be helpful for anyone else who has this or similar issues (such as when typing you lose the cursor and you have to click back into the program you are using) after the last Apple Security Update that caused this bug.

I do not know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

It seems all to be linked to Stuffit and a preference called Stuffit AVR (Archive Via Rename): In your system preferences go to the bottom and click on the Stuffit AVR option. Click the Stuffit AVR tab on the left, and click the "STOP" button. This should do the trick. For some reason this is cycling through our desktop/finder and causing so much of the frustration since this update.

FIX: Trouble with Macintosh MS Entourage email client calendar does sync correctly or does not match up correct to Microsoft Exchange server calendar

PROBLEM:

Trouble with Macintosh MS Entourage email client calendar does sync correctly or does not match up correct to Microsoft Exchange server calendar display from Outlook.

SOLUTION:

Launch Entourage and select your calendar on the left hand bar and control+click it. A sub menu should appear, select the option to "Empty Cache". For some reason Entourage seems to do this every now and then. This will purge your local copy of the calendar and resynchronize a fresh copy down from the server.

NOTE: This will dump/delete the LOCAL copy of the calendar, if you have made recent updates to this LOCAL Entourage calendar some change MAY be lost.
