    Safari cmd-w tab behaviour

    The problem is usually related to Flash. If you click inside a Flash animation or play a Flash video, especially full screen, and then hit cmd-w, Safari will ask if you want to close the current window.

    Search Entire Message not working in Mai

    It could be that Spotlight was (or is) busy indexing. Searching Entire Messages doesn't work while Spotlight is indexing. Sometimes Mail.app will get confused though, if Spotlight was indexing when you launched Mail.app, and won't let you search until you've quit and relaunched Mail.app. By the...

    Software to capture image of long web pages

    There are a couple of addons for Firefox that can do this. The ones I use are "pdfit!" and "Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic".

    keyboard locked by unknown shortcut

    Hah! It's the sticky keys! When you press down on the shift key several times in a row, it'll activate "Sticky keys". That means you can use keyboard shortcuts by pressing keys in sequence, you don't have to press them all simultaneously. Check the Accessibility for your keyboard settings in...

    upgrade to 10.5 in order to get java 1.6

    Also, for Java 6 you need a 64-bit CPU, so only desktop models work, no laptops.

    Cant browse local Nas web page

    Try using the actual IP-number in the address, that might help. You could also enable "Bonjour" on the bookmark field, and see if your NAS turns up there.

    Bluetooth networking

    This page shows how to use a PC to allow a PDA to access the internet via Bluetooth. It should work if you just substitute the iPaq for your Mac... http://www.tweaks2k2.com/How_to/bluetooth_network.htm (@natobasso: it's the PC that has WiFi, the Mac only has BT, read the first post...)

    [HOWTO] - Password protect files and/or folders?

    You can also use the Keychain Manager to store protected notes. That's what I do to store important information that I don't want others to have access to.

    dual monitors on 24" Intel iMac

    Om the other hand, there's a much cheaper way to check your images. In Photoshop you have the option of "previewing" your image for different color profiles. One of them is "Windows RGB", and it'll show you what your image will look like on a PC. Check the View menu and choose "Windows RGB" in...

    OS X is multi-lingual. You can choose language during installation, and also change it afterwards with no ill side effects.

    are there free 'speech to text' programs for mac?

    @natobasso: maybe you should try to read the headline again... As far as I know there are no free applications, though a few open source projects are still active (ISIP, Julius, HTK and Sphinx to name a few). MacSpeech is probably the best available application right now, but it's $199...

    What is Prune?

    The lexical meaning of the verb "prune" is to get rid of surplus. If you had bothered to check the menus you wold've found it in File->Play Cue->Prune. Just below "Clear" and above "Scramble". So, it probably removes dupliccates or missing files from a Play Cue.

    how can I modify a PDF?

    You can also use Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator will only allow you to work on a single page, so if you have a multipage document you need to save the result with a new file name. Then you can use Preview to remove the original page from your original document, and insert the...

    Olympic Dream?

    As for Ara Abrahamian; he is not a weight lifter, he is a wrestler. Bad sportsmanship? I disagree. He didn't throw away his medal, he gently placed it in the middle of the wrestling mat before quietly walking away. This was his way of protesting against being wrongfully disqualified in...

    Illustrator CS3, Colour fading when importing images

    Check your color settings in your Adobe applications too. Check which working color space you are using, and what the applications are supposed to do when documents lack profiles or when profiles don't match your working profile.

    MACBOOK PRO DISPLAY: high resolution = text way too small!

    How about reading glasses? And if you already wear glasses, how about switching to bifocals or – as I did a year ago – progressive glasses? And don't kid yourself about age. Everyone will suffer some eye problems as soon as they get closer to 40, the lens gets harder and won't change shape...

    Non-Apple kb sleep keyboard shortcut?

    My comment was aimed at Mikuro, not you. He was the one that said there wasn't a standard shortcut. Anyway, Mikuro's advice would've done the trick if you'd bothered to try it. Better than wasting $10.

    mobileme

    EDCC, maybe you should read the original post... she clearly states that she's using "hotel/motel/free computers", not her own Mac. Apparently she thinks that MobileMe doesn't work with Internet Explorer. It might be that MobileMe doesn't work with older versions of Internet Explorer, but you...

    Non-Apple kb sleep keyboard shortcut?

    FYI: There is a standard keyboard shortcut that doesn't use the power button: Command+option+eject. Other than that, great answer Mikuro, short and to the point!
