hi guys, first post!
i did a search before posting, so sorry if i did anything wrong.
im new to macs and have a few OS questions i need help with please?
1-i have a few mac mini's around the house, all on leopard.
now i want to share the 'movies' folder in the home accounts between the macs. i tried adding them to each others drop boxes but this didnt work.
does anyone know how to share folders over a local network?
2-again with my mac minis. im using them as media centres, and i want to be able to turn them off via the apple remote without having to pay for software (like remote buddy) for this simple function. currently holding play only puts them to sleep.
so does anyone know a script, or how to turn off a mac with just the apple remote?
3-this one off topic, but ill try anyway.
i used to be able to connect my xbox 360 dvd drive to my windows machine and update the firmware. i can no longer do this in OSX. however, i cant do it in Boot camp now either, as it requires me to boot into DOS.
so does anyone know how to boot into DOS in boot camp on a Mac Pro with leopard?
Thanks for any and all help provided guys, its very much appreciated.
All help will receive at least one smiley.
