Mac OSX mount share at login

On Mac OSX how to mount a share (smb, webdAV, nfs, apple share) at login and don't open finder for each share?

Use apple script application in utilities folder and add this for example:



mount volume "smb://user:password@ip_or_name_of_server/share"

or

mount volume "smb://DOMAIN\user:password@ip_or_name_of_server/share"

or

mount volume "smb://ip_or_name_of_server/share"


If you need more share add more then save as application. Then:

Go to system preferences, accounts, select user and add this application to login items. Now every time you login with that user the system will mount this share.

Apple Keyboard on Windows

The great Apple Keyboard works out of the box
in Windows but the layout is not correct in
Portuguese keyboard.

Keys like § ± < > º ^ ~ + * are in wrong place.

I have search on web and i was unable to find the layout.
So i have download the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator
and built my own layout.

Before proceed install the original Apple drivers:
x86 and 64 Bit


The layout file is here

1 - Unzip and install.
2 - Go control panel
3 - Click in Region and Language
4 - Click on Keyboards and Languages Tab
5 - Click on Change Keyboard...
6 - In Default input language box select Portuguese (Portugal) - Apple Keyboard
7 - Click OK
8 - Exit and reboot
9 - That's all


If you have a different language you can install my layout and open in Microsoft Keyboard Layout creator and change the keys and built the install program. It's easy.

Enjoy;)

Windows 7 64 bit on 2006 Mac Pro 1,1

I have successful installed Windows 7 on my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. Apple says that isn't supported but in fact is. The main problem after install is to get the drivers. You can't install the drivers using the bootcamp installer because it says that isn't supported.

So copy the drivers folder to your desktop and then navigate to Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple you will find a BootCamp64.msi

To run it you need to have administration privileges, so run cmd.exe as administrator and navigate to Drivers\Apple them type:

msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi

It will start a massive drivers and software install, after reboot you will have a unsupported system run like a charm.

P.S. Get the drivers by inserting the Snow Leopard DVD on

Windows or get it from a torrent like this:
