Can I install DLC from a DVD?

Anyone know how to transfer DLC from one 360 to another? The problem with the other 360 is not connected to the internet. Can I transfer DLC like, say, GTA IV Lost and the Damned to it from a disc or an external HDD?

Headline does not import correctly the OPML file.

I imported an opml file from google reader. The problem is Headline only seems to recognize the feeds that are outside folders (I use folders to organize my feeds i.e. Marketing, Tech, News, Lifehacks, etc.)

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Space bar doesn't work when holding the shift key down

My macbook's spacebar doesn't seem to work when I press it while holding the shift key down. I used to be able to do this (typing in all caps without activating caps lock) and didn't install any OS X updates recently.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Maybe I accidentally changed a setting somewhere?

Feature Request: @nickname "Mentions"

Plurk needs to implement a "Replies" functionality similar to twitter's that calls your attention to mentions of your @nickname . It would be extremely useful to be made aware of mentions of you on other people's plurks.

Getting OS X to boot as the default OS after deleting a Windows partition on BootCamp?

I tried to install Vista via Bootcamp on leopard. Long story short, the installation failed and now I have 32 GB of NTFS partition on my 250 GB hard drive. I used the Disk Utility to delete the NTFS partition so that's taken care of.

The PROBLEM is, when I power on my mac I get a "no bootable disc" error and, the only way I can boot OS X is to hold down the "Option" key upon logging in. I do not want this.

How can I get OS X to boot automatically?

Mikey asked a question in Digg on November 20, 2008 10:16:

Digg wouldn't let me log in.

And whenever I use the forget password or username form it doesn't forward any details on my email. Anybody else experiencing this?

How do I sign in as a new user on TweetDeck?

I cannot find the menu option in tweetdeck that would allow me to sign out of the current twitter account and sign in as a new user. Anyone know how I can do this?

Ruby automatically opens the default browser upon logging in (Mac OS X)

It calls this: file:///System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/libxml-ruby-0.3.8.4/rdoc/classes/XML/Node.src/M000180.html Anyone have any ideas how to make this stop?

Sure file:///System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/libxml-ruby-0.3.8.4/rdoc/classes/XML/Node.src/M000180.html

Here's what I did, I switched default browsers from FF3 to Safari and, to my surprise, Safari automatically started upon login too. It had the same start page as FF did. Check this out and maybe someone could make sense of it.

Mikey asked a question in Mozilla on October 07, 2008 15:55:

Firefox 3 Automatically starts upon login.

Firefox 3 automatically restarts upon logging in. It is not in my Login items. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.5. The only change I made was basically updated my hard drive--meaning I cloned my old hard drive to a larger one. The "error message" if you could call it that, says it has something to do with Ruby. Anyone else experiencing this?

OS X Cannot play .WAV files?

The voicemail in my company's phone system forwards messages to my email address in the form of .wav files.

The problem is it seems like OS X cannot open .WAV files. I use 10.5.2 and have installed VLC player and a host of other multimedia players but that doesn't solve the problem.

Any, ideas?

Outlook 2003: Leaving messages on an exchange server

Okay here's the thing: I use a windows machine in the office that has Outlook 2003 installed.

When I work from home, I use a mac and use Microsoft Outlook Web Access on a browser.

Now, I noticed that the desktop client downloads all the messages in my mailbox and stores everything locally.

This means that accessing my mail through Web Access from home or where ever will display only the newest messages and I cannot reference emails that have already been downloaded by the desktop client.

Also, from a contingency standpoint: Hard Disk Crash = Epic Fail.

I know that there's a "Leave Messages On Server" option for POP3 accounts. Is there anything similar for an exchange account?

Or is there another way of doing it?

Mikey replied on January 02, 2008 05:30 to the question "usr/bin directory missing in OS X" in Apple:

Onyx uses commands that ARE in the usr/bin folder. Anyway, I managed to solve the problem by copying the entire usr/bin directory from another mac.

usr/bin directory missing in OS X

I need to rebuild Spotlight's index and I can only do that using a Sudo mdutil command.

HOWEVER, for some reason, the usr/bin directory containing said command is missing.

Is there anyway I could restore this directory without completely reinstalling OS X?

Mikey asked a question in Adobe on September 29, 2007 08:37:

How do I uninstall Adobe AIR-based Apps from my mac?

To make sure that I delete all files associated with the app I am trying to uninstall, I use etiher App Zapper or App Delete.

The process is pretty straightforward, I go to my applications folder and drag the program I wish to uninstall to App delete or App zapper and that's that.

I've been trying out a couple of Adobe-AIR based apps lately and to date, I haven't found a way to uninstall them as they DO NOT appear in the applications folder.

Any thoughts on this?

Got it. Thanks guys. The interface on 1.1 was different from the previous version. There USED TO BE a field where you could add applications easily.

How do I get Growl to work with iTunes?

I'm (like everybody else) using growl as my universal notification system. I noticed though that it doesn't handle iTunes notifications. How do I make this happen?
