| Bobw Genius Bar
Dear All, as you know, our friend Bob Wood, aka Bobw, one of the main if not THE main technical help of our site, passed away. As an homage to his work here, I propose that we start this new thread. It should include series of usual questions related to the mac OS and their answers. Anybody who would search for these questions will find the answer here. chevy ****** Please add your own finding, either by searching the site for bobw answers or by proposing your own. The only thing is to keep that thread for simple questions with short answers ******

After recent reboot, cannot click/drag files/folders -- tho mouse will perform action (can drag selection box, etc.) - yet I cannot move files, drag songs to playlist in iTunes, drag selections in Illustrator, etc... Quote:

Chevy - there are soo many - any thread with 2 or 4 replies usually has Bob spot on with the answer to the question. I like the idea here - A Bob W FAQ so to speak Quote:

So why don't we make a real database of some of the common questions people ask, it will make it easy for both Volonteers and guests. Quote:

| Thanks Bob!
I just found this great site after a colleague in work was getting a weird black border on parts of her screen. A quick 'Google' returned this site as the top result and a topic in which somebody else had experienced the same problem which was answered by Bobw. It turns out that she had accidentally turned on VoiceOver (which you can do by hitting cmd-f5) but didn't realise as she had her volume all the way down! On the the topic I noticed the sad news about Bob and decided to sign up to let you guys know that his hard work is still helping people even now. Original topic: Annoying black border in QS X RIP Bob |
