If he is on a router or going through a “firewall” there are still ways to open ports and route to specific machines… It is possible. But tricky.
Probably the easiest thing to do would be to have the person in your office upload the file to a webserver and then download it yourself. I can give you a temp username and password to one of my machines if you don’t have a way to do it yourself.

You will get fewer things working in Sherlock because of Dashboard.

Yes, that would be true if the chipset of the FW400 device does not know how to communicate on the new FW800 path. But either the FW400 or FW800 could have a mix of speeds from 100 to 400 without any problems. (An advantage over USB 2.0) I mention this difference because, in theory, a drive with both FW 800 and 400 ports could be using the FW 800 chipset and allow the 400 port to be used without detriment to another device running FW 800 on your mac. Confused yet?
What you CAN have is 2 FW800 devices with different data rates working at once on one port. One at 300 and another at 500 because they are both using one TYPE of FW on one port.
But it is my understanding that if you have a separate FW800 PCI card that you should not have to communicate on the same protocol because you are on 2 different busses. Regardless, G5’s have really bad FW800 performance which has been confusing… https://www.barefeats.com
So in short, using the same BUS (i.e. built in ports) you are restricted to the lowest protocol capabilities of your lowest device… that is my understanding. Anyone have any REAL experiences?

Apple had to appease the Music Labels… don’t buy it if you don’t like the license. The audio sucks anyway.

You can run the advanced part of color calibration and do it by estimating with your eye, but what our art department does is use a tool to match the monitors more accurately, something like:

Um, yeah, isn’t that what the link I posted said to do?

Yeah, but that isn’t what he asked for. And no, not all OS X apps are Unix apps, in fact few would work on any other variation of Unix because it relies on all of the Apple libraries built ON TOP of the BSD Unix underpinnings. In fact, anything with a GUI uses Apple stuff.

THAT is a really weird problem. You could try trashing your Finder preferences and see if that works… I had an issue that if too many icons were on my desktop that the icons got DUPLICATED. Like I added a 7th doc to my desktop and all of the sudden there were 14 icons on my desktop… each of the 7 was duplicated!

Are you saying your desktop machine has issues when trying to open a port through the firewall settings in system preferences… and that your laptop does NOT have this issue when on your network?

Check this link or if this doesn’t do it, try one of the groups there or sending in a question:
