Sometime after upgrading to iTunes 8.0.1 and OS X 10.5.5 (not sure when it started TBH), everytime I connected up my iPhone iTunes error’d with:
“iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone “Macca’s iPhone” because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing? (y/n)”
Weird, I thought. I haven’t disabled anything. I [...]

Cisco VPN Client on OSX
I’ve had a few problems with the Cisco VPN Client for Mac OS X (release 4.9.01 (100) ) recently.
I’d get intermittent “Error 51: Unable to contact the VPN subsystem” when opening the VPNClient appliaction.
Some times a reboot would fix it, sometimes it wouldn’t.
I can’t reliably reproduce it either, sometimes coming out of sleep breaks it, [...]
Wanted : Definitive iCal Entourage sync
Now that i’ve gotten hold of MS Office:Mac 2008 and an RSA Hardtoken (for VPN) I no longer need to use Windows at all for work or play. (I’ve also just ordered a new MBP through work, huzzah!)
Since i’ve got Entourage connected up to the Exchange server here at work, I want to be [...]
Has OS X 10.5.2 reset some security settings?
I’m pretty sure it has, I certainly haven’t turned this off.
Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch!
The release notes for the update mentions “Improves stability and performance during log in.”.
Anyone else seen the same or worse?
OS X: Finder won't quit (WindowServer process?)
My last post mentioned that I was having some intermittant issues with my Macbook after resuming from sleep, in that after entering my password I just got a blank screen. Key presses result in an error tone and I have to close the lid and reopen it to gain access to OS X.
It just happened [...]
OS X: Finder won't quit – Logout Timeout
I’ve noticed a few problems with OS X on my Macbook over the last couple of weeks.
I’ve got added ‘Keychain Access’ to my menubar (or toolbar – the one up the top anyway) so that I can just hit ‘Lock Screen’ when I step away from my machine at work. In general it’s been [...]
VMWare Fusion and network bridging
I’ve had VMWare Fusion running an image of my work laptop, on my Macbook, for nearly three weeks now. I’ve had no problems at all, running over both NAT and via network bridge.
Until this week.
Now, when I try to use the image over network bridge I get the error “The network bridge on device [...]
Quicksilver roadmap at the end
In an earlier post, I mentioned how i’d been an admirer of the Quicksilver application and its workflow. Having finally picked up a Mac for full time use (work & play), it was I think the 2nd application I installed. It’s definately a great productivity tool. I’m not keen on the [...]
Shortcuts and Quicksilver
I’ve always preferred to use the keyboard more than the mouse so i’ve been intrigued by QuickSilver for a long time. It was almost a weekly subject on the LifeHacker RSS feed for a while earlier this year. Being a Mac only app, I was pretty jealous, but was fine with the CTRL [...]
RadRails – Unable to detect ruby install on OS X Leopard
I installed the RadRails plugin for Eclipse and Aptana today.
On first start, it complains that it is “Unable to detect ruby install” on my Leopard macbook.
Now, I know ruby is installed and working so had to try and figure out the path to the ruby installation.
Took me a while to work it out, I thought [...]
