MisterMe, thanks for the reply. Albums tab? What albums tab? You mean, sort by album? I tried that and it didn't help. However, the songs I imported from CD the other day have magically healed themselves and I can now see them, no idea why. I haven't yet tried importing more. Be that...

When I import songs from a CD, the songs are not appearing under Music in iTunes. The track info is properly displayed for the mounted CD itself and the songs are correctly imported (green checkboxes appear, the MP3 files are placed in the correct folder under "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music", and...

Another update: The very kind Fishrrman at Macrumors.com shared a 1905FP profile that is much better than anything I could come up with. On my monitor the result isn't perfect but it's a great improvement. See the thread and download the profile at...

Update: I tried all the other profiles I had lying around on this machine and I found another LCD profile that I had successfully calibrated to see gray. It sort of works with the Dell 1905FP although it's dim and a little blue-shifted next to my MacBook Pro. I can open up the profile in the...

I'm having a terrible time adjusting the colors on Dell LCD monitors that I use with my MacBook Pro. The latest is a Dell 1905FP that is driving me nuts. I started by following the instructions in Mac OS X's Display Calibrator Assistant (under System Preferences > Displays > Color >...

Aha, someone on another forum answered my question. Under: Entourage >Preferences > Mail and News Preferences > Compose > Recent Addresses ...there's an option to ignore recently used addresses when composing a message, or, better still for my purposes, a "Clear List" button for...

A small thing that's driving me mad in Entourage 2004 for Mac: Some of my co-workers' addresses have changed but Entourage is still defaulting to the old ones. How can I weed unwanted addresses out of my Entourage contacts? When I go into "Address Book" in Entourage, the offending...

Thanks, JHD! I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for the tip, jhd. I see by the LinkStation Pro manual that its internal drive is formatted in XFS (download at http://www.buffalotech.com/support/downloads/linkstation-pro/ - see p. 28). Wikipedia says that XFS is a Unix filesystem commonly available in Linux. Does that mean that it's...

I'm sure the original poster has long since made his or her decision, but for the benefit of Googlers: I just learned the hard way about the limitations of the Maxtor Shared Storage II. The FAT32 filesystem has Windows-style restrictions on filename length and character set. Among other...

I just learned the hard way about the limitations of the Maxtor Shared Storage II: it uses a FAT32 filesystem, which means that it has Windows-style restrictions on filename length and character set. Among other things that means that it won't support a normal iTunes library (when I tried to...

Well, duh, it occurs to me that there's a straightforward WAN solution: all I need to do is publish a folder from my Mac so it's readable from the IP address of the office LAN. Since for printing purposes the Windows doorstop only needs to be able to read it, not write to it, the security...

Thanks, Decade. In my (limited) Windows experience, the bottleneck is the unmounting: in Mac OS X, ejecting a drive requires one click and happens immediately; in Windows it seems to be a multi-click operation and then requires a wait longer than the time needed to physically move a thumb...

Is there such a thing as a flash drive wih *two* USB ports so two computers can share it simultaneously? Background: I've just taken a job in a shop that not only won't let me put my MacBook on the LAN, but insists that I use a crippled Windows box on which I can't install software. Period...
