I need your help. I created a webpage using iweb but now i want to transfer that webpage to a different host (webstrike). I was able to upload it up but some link images are not appearing. Do you have any idea why? I think it has to do with the .rss coding not finding the images correctly but I'm not sure. Has anyone else asked you this problem? The original working website is http://web.mac.com/natalie.moranda/Site/Welcome.html The new site is Chicmommybags.com The photo/fabric selection page is not working. Please Help! Thank you Murphy.

]]> Comment on VMware Converter, Fusion, and Boot Camp by viola http://murphymac.com/vmware-converter-fusion-and-boot-camp/#comment-34645 viola Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:16:16 +0000 http://murphymac.com/vmware-converter-fusion-and-boot-camp/#comment-34645 Great info thanks. Had MacbookPro running VM fusion with Windows XP 1st installed on Bootcamp partition. Mac OS crashed the other day and I lost all Mac stuff, but fortunately I found my Windows Bootcamp install unaffected and was able to save all my Windows data. Is it normal that a Mac OS crash would not effect your Windows Bootcamp install? If so, that seems like a good safety catch but I never see this listed as a pro Bootcamp feature. Perhaps what happened was a fluke. If Mac OS crashes with only VM installed do you also loose the Windows partition? Would love to start over without the Bootcamp to save time with windows reboots, but would sacrifice that if I knew having Bootcamp provides a safety to Mac OS crashes. Thanks! Great info thanks.

(192.168.1.1) at 0:13:49:7e:78:d4 on en1 [ethernet] ? (192.168.1.33) at 0:76:cb:c4:50:6 on en1 [ethernet] 4) sudo ifconfig en1 ether {your new MAC address from above} I haven't tried it but it might just do the trick...free Best, Stephen Murphy,
I think you could go a step further maybe…

1) find out the IP address you have and try ping’ing some before it (ie if you have 192.168.1.77 try 76,75,74 until you get a ping back, or run a free network scanner like ‘Angry IP Scanner’

2) a ‘good’ ping then adds that ip’s info to the arp table, including MAC addresses

3) view the MAC addresses by typing ‘arp -a’

$ arp -a
? (192.168.1.1) at 0:13:49:7e:78:d4 on en1 [ethernet]
? (192.168.1.33) at 0:76:cb:c4:50:6 on en1 [ethernet]

4) sudo ifconfig en1 ether {your new MAC address from above}

Period. So my solution was simple: go back to logic 7.2...... works fine now......maybe one day they will fix this probably simple fix in logic 8.0.

However, I wanted to upgrade to 8.0 to get rid of the xskey because of the liability, risk etc. with taking this out live. Imagine my shock when I realize this very handy little function is no more.....control click on the qt movie in logic 8 and no setting for border less viewing. I am using QT PRO 7 and when the movie plays, it is border less....but when I load it in Logic I can't get rid of the cheesy border! Any and all help greatly appreciated as I contemplate downgrading back to 7.2 land of the dongle to get my much needed functionality back! Steve has similar problem so I fear no solution is available beyond going back to version 7 of logic.

I tried your permissions thing from the earlier post but that hasn’t helped. It seems there is a maximum of 7 emails with file attachments that will automatically get sent with the 8th always stopping just before inputting the recipient name. Notably, when I use another script to move files from several other locations into my “Send Mail” folder to which this script is attached, it does exactly the same same thing but this time on the 1st message. Just wondering if you knew of any conflicts or limitations that might be causing this. Hi Murphy,
