Tom says:

I had just upgraded my hard drive and did a complete system restore using time machine, and have had this strange feeling that something is slightly off…

In any case I managed to install Windows 7 by using the imgburn method, and using my PC at work to create a new install disk. Worked the first time, so now I’m happy!

What is happening when you try to compile cdrtools? Can you send me the output? Are you still having the issue?

I don’t remember specifically doing anything there but then my machine has quite a few libraries and things installed as I do quite a bit of development, I may have something installed that you don’t.

Also, can you tell me what version of Mac OS, Xcode and what version of gcc is default:
To find out the version of gcc, run the following in Terminal:
ls /usr/bin/gcc -l

For reference, I have Mac OS X 10.6.2, XCode 3.1.3 and gcc 3.4.

Hi. Great review/section thingy. I just got my eyetv hybrid. How to you enter the frequencies into the software? And does a satellite get a better signal (quality and strength) compared to a roof antenna? Thanks heaps!

To be honest, you’re the first person to ever bring that up. Curious.

I’m feeling really stupid, but I can’t get past the make stage of cdrtools. I’ve got the developer tools installed and have been banging my head against a wall trying to get the tools to compile. At this point I’m trying to get smake to compile so I can try that, but its not working either. Do you remember if you had to do anything special to get it to install correctly?

I was so excited to find a way of installing without having to install my old XP just so I can re-burn the install DVD…

This was a great help getting my iMac 7,1 going with 64bit Windows 7. I kept getting the “Select Boot CD” error because of weird EFI issues. Using this guide I made a workable DVD for installing Windows 7 64bit within bootcamp. I did have to modify the path to the bootable image. I changed it from “efi/bcd” to “boot/etfsboot.com” and everything worked fine. It was nice to do this all within OSX and not to have to find a Windows machine to use other tools on. Thank you so much for thf help. I searched all over and finally found this info.

Good grief, man. How can anyone read your blog?
Gray background, gray letters!! Are you smoking something?

Transferring pictures and music is about the same with most Bluetooth phones.
Under the bluetooth icon in the menu bar there is a list of Bluetooth devices that have been set up with your computer. There is also a “Send File” menu item, that allows you to transfer things to your phone. You can use the “Browse Device” option to get things from the phone easily (otherwise you can send them to the computer directly from the phone).

To sync your address book, you need to download and install the free v640i plugin from here http://www.faqintosh.com/risorse/en/othutil/isync/plugin/SE/
There are instructions on how to install that at http://www.faqintosh.com/risorse/en/othutil/isync/plugin/

To sync text messages I use BluePhoneElite (http://mirasoftware.com/) but there are probably other programs.

For the remote control stuff I still plan to post a blog post about setting all that up, I’ll email you when (or if) I get around to it.
