    Mac OS-X Tiger - List Folders Before Files in All Folder Views

    you bet. In fact, there are apple scripts about, that will allow you to label all folders in one quick step, rather than a manual exercise that could take you some time to complete. I'm not in front of my powerbook right now, so I can't remember what it's called. But google a bit, or ask...

    Mac OS-X Tiger - List Folders Before Files in All Folder Views

    Cocoa Tech makes a product called Pathfinder. It's a replacement for the relatively poor Finder. It will allow you to sort by folder, file, app, etc. Very nice. Coming from the windows world, I had the same gripe. But Pathfinder will help alleviate the issue. If you don't want to pay for...

    iPhoto install problems - what have i done?

    iPhoto's been causing me lots of brain damage lately, so I trashed it, with the intent of re-installing it. But when I put my iLife 05 DVD in and choose to Customize the install, iPhoto is grayed-out. It's not an option for me to install. What files might I be missing or how can I get it...

    FS: 17" Powerbook 1ghz 1.5gb Ram

    I'm looking for $1700, but I'm flexible. The system recently (within the last couple months) had the screen replaced via applecare due to bright spots when I bought it - so the screen is just about BRAND NEW. There's applecare left on it until April 2006 Ram is 1.5gb, there are 2...

    The possibilities of Front Row

    I don't see HBO and similar networks selling their exclusive shows on iTunes. For exactly the reason FARV states - You'd cancel your cable/satellite subscriptions and just grab the iTunes shows. I think the networks would much rather have a monthly inroad to your home/wallet rather than the...

    20" Apple Display vs Dell Monitor? Am i blind? paying for a brand?

    I've read a number of reviews of the 20" cinema and Dell's 20" display. (They use the SAME LCD part, did you know that?) I just got my Dell 20" in the mail and have it as a dual for my 17" powerbook. It's fantastic. no complaints at all. save yourself the money, or spend a few $$ more and...

    20" Apple Monitor or 32" TV? for mac mini?

    yeah, don't get a normal, CRT TV as your display. I'd only consider a TV if it was a High Definition LCD or something like that. The HD resolution capability is the only chance you've got of getting the proper display resolution to maximize your computer's output. (plus it's more likely to...

    Uninstall language packs

    well if you want the actual experience of doing it, then google, or search around del.icio.us a little bit. there's TONS of good tutorials. On the other hand, if you just want it installed to USE, check out MAMP. It's free, and installs in a clean, standalone folder. So it's easy to remove...
