    Brand new iMac won't boot properly!

    Just take it to an apple store (make an appointment online) and swap it out. No point messing around.

    Smart urls in safari

    I've got a problem. The search typically works (using the url format http://www.google.com/search?q={query}&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky), but sometimes it will just take me to the regular search results page instead of doing the feeling lucky search. It seems like this happens with less popular...

    Stealth mode connection attempt

    Hi, I am getting some console messages like this: 12/29/10 4:55:59 PM Firewall[67] Stealth Mode connection attempt to TCP 192.168.2.100:56549 from 8.12.203.126:80 (and some are from the 192.168 range so I assume those are within the network) I looked up the ip and it appears to be from...

    Smart urls in safari

    Here's the solution in case anyone's interested: Install SIMBL, which lets you hack safari. Install keywurl, a safari plugin that lets you setup searches via the address bar. Open its settings and for the google search (keyword=defaut, which basically means you don't type a keyword) add...

    Smart urls in safari

    I was wondering if there was a way to enable or add the functionality (safari extensions?) of Firefox's url bar to Safari. For example, in firefox if I want to go to the myspace page for example of the band Cynic, I would just type "myspace cynic" in the address bar and it would take me right to...

    Prevent sound effects when music is playing

    Hm, apple didn't even implement this? Pretty stupid, in my opinion. I want the normal volume for sound effects, but I don't want them when I have music playing. Seems pretty simple to me, surprised they wouldn't include such basic functionality. Know of any 3rd party apps to do this? Turned...

    Prevent sound effects when music is playing

    Sorry, I'm probably going to slap myself for having to ask this, but how do I stop sound effects (deleting files, copying, etc) when I have music playing? It just stutters the actual music playing and makes an annoying sound. Thanks.

    Application icons aren't being cached (snow leopard)

    Hi, After updating to 10.6.1 snow leopard, I noticed a weird bug: when I first open the applications folder after logging in, the applications all have the "no icon" icon, the icon you get when the application doesn't have an icon. Slowly, the icons start to show up. It appears as if it isn't...

    Looking for a powerful string search app

    Hi, I'm looking for an application with the ability to search matching strings (as designated as anything between a set "prefix" and "suffix") and display them (or what would even be BETTER is if it could write them to a text file). I've looked into text wrangler and it doesn't fit my...

    Display only HD's on desktop

    That is a great solution, Delta, however I don't know if I would be able to keep it organized (Things somehow always make their way there =p). Do you know if there is a way so that I can keep the good ol' desktop folder cluttered yet only display those specific items? If not, yeah, I'll just...

    Display only HD's on desktop

    Hi, Currently I have my desktop set to hide all items from the displaying, but I want it to display the standard things (Hard Disk, External HD, iPod/etc but not my clutter of other files and folders in my actual desktop folder). Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks, Aaron
