  • Mac OS X Mountain Lion: unable to add printers

    Okay. This one took a long time to solve. At some random point after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion was unable to add new printers. As I don’t really add new printers on a daily base, I have no idea when it actually happened or what might have caused it. If I deleted…

  • Adium refusing to remember passwords

    I reinstalled my Mountain Lion, and since then Adium keeps asking for passwords on every Adium restart/startup. Understandably, this is quite annoying.

    I recently dared to upgrade from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Mountain Lion (10.8), skipping Lion (10.7) altogether. One of the mayor disturbances I had, was when I was using my Macbook Pro at my home office. I use an external display (some Samsung SyncMaster) as well as my MBP’s main display. I put my MBP…

  • Something to think about

    Imagine, a couple of years from now. Apple’s patent to block recordings is reality and in operation. At some event such as Pukkelpop. During a crisis.

  • iPhone could not be restored

    Jailbreaking my old iPhone 2G (Edge version). It was a bit hard to find software that would still allow me to jailbreak this 2G. Soooow, I mirrored all I used. Bootloader: 3.9 or 4.6 PwnageTool: 3.1.5 Be aware: you will need iTunes 9 (or 8, I guess) — iTunes 10 gives an error: “iPhone could…
