jrrjrr Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If you run Windows as well, it works as a "Web Folder" that you can set up as a shortcut in Explorer. Also, someone commented elsewhere that you can't rename the desktop alias you get on the Mac from "dav", but you can create a folder with any name you like on your box.net account, and then set the server address on your Mac to that folder, like www.box.net/dav/Name_I_Like, and the desktop icon will be "Name_I_Like".

errandwolfe Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 To everyone who can't see their files....This seems to be an intermittent problem and nothing to do with our Macs. I was having the same issue, and did absolutely nothing to try and fix it, I looked a few hours later and the files were then showing up. I don't think it is a time delay issue though as I was able to see the files on my Windows box right away (even though the files were uploaded from the Mac).

xtraa Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=17690 That user managed to get iDisk to work by making .Mac point to a different IP other than idisk.mac.com. The site is in German, but if you manage to make an account, I don't think there's a file size limit. However, the server is really unreliable and doesn't allow for .Mac style syncing or anything... One day we will get the perfect .Mac server clone. One day. *sigh* thanks for the link, i was exactly searchin for it since I lost it somewhere between my bookmarks. I can translate the site to english if you want. I used to have the gmail drive and also registered at box.net a while ago (windows xp) but this was the missing link So I will figure it out and post a translated howto if I am successfull.

xtraa Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Ok, nothing to translate, just follow the link and just take the ip of box.net (get it via samspade.org). But it is a no go because the .mac accound does not accept an @ . hmmm.

Colonel Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 hmm... your right. I'll work on that. Keep trying to login though. EDIT: When I compile it for Intel, it doesn't say that there are any errors. The LoginControler files are the same as the PowerPC ones. Weird... EDIT: I found the bug. The plugin the lets it connect to Google is still PPC and I need to make it Intel. I'll get to it shortly EDIT: I wrote an email to the creator for the plugin's source code. The best I can do now is wait.
