    Can I swap the Control & Command keys?

    I really prefer the position of the Control key to the Apple key -- as a touch typist it's easier for me to use. Is there a way to swap the functionality of the two keys - ie to use Control instead of Apple/Command, and vice versa? I'm running 10.3, and use an Apple Pro (wired)...

    Request for iPhoto features?

    Absolutely. Switching between albums has also got to be made faster. I've got 11,446 pictures, on a DP 2.0 G5, 3.5Gig memory. It's slow as a dog for many things - like opening an album containing 1207 photos. Curiously, I've got another album with 5400 photos that's a lot quicker to get...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Has anybody noticed that folding on a G5 has sped up a lot in the last week or two? I've gone from 2% of a work unit/hour to something like 3+%. Am I imagining things or have they maybe optimized the app, or is something in 10.3.1 responsible? EDIT: I just clocked it. It's 4%/hr. btw...

    My first url - now where to host it?

    So I'm working with my daughters to set up a pet-oriented website for themseleves, their friends and eventually broader community. We just reserved "www.petsisters.com". It looks like I can't use my .mac account with this url (am I right?). Suggestions? Things we'd like to do: a)...

    iDVD and Panther: Crash, crash, hang, crash

    Anyone else have this experience? I absolutely cannot burn a dvd using iDVD in under Panther. I'd done it once before in Jag and it worked ok. I import a short movie (2 minutes), leave the menu stuff as default, and say burn. System crash (no panic message, just total freeze-up - even...

    Is Final Cut Express Dual Processor Aware?

    System requirements A 500-MHz or faster single or 450-MHz dualprocessor Yes I saw this, but I don't think it answers the question. It does imply an equivalency between dual 450 and single 500 (which doesn't say much for the power of a second processor), but it could easily mean that...

    Is Final Cut Express Dual Processor Aware?

    I know FCP is written to take advantage of dual processors, and I believe that iMovie isn't. What about Final cut Express?

    Sleep now takes 20 seconds, was near instantaneous

    I hadn't thought about it, but I probably did upgrade to 10.2.6 at about that time. If that's it I'll just wait until Panther or whatever rather than searching for what I might have done to my machine to give it insomnia. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Sleep now takes 20 seconds, was near instantaneous

    Subject pretty much says it all. Putting the system to sleep now has about a 20-30 second pause, then it sleeps. I've no idea what it's waiting on. If this helps: [Alexis-Computer:~] alexis% ps -ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ?? Ss 0:00.00 /sbin/init 2 ...

    Selectively editing Safari history

    Thanks, chabig. It hadn't occurred to me to view history as a bookmark. As for the rest of you: what dirty minds! Maybe I was shopping for a present for my wife? Maybe posting my resume?

    VPN slows down regular internet access

    I'm using Internet Connect VPN (PPTP) into my work. However, when I do so access to the internet through Safari or Explorer slows & pretty much dies (most, not all, sites often, not always, time out). Is there a way to keep it so that I've got the VPN for using Citrix or Terminal Server...

    Invalid key length on External Firewire disk

    To run fsck i need to know the pathname. I'm assuming that the disk only maps to a /dev file if it's mounted, which is what I can't do. On the other hand, the system clearly can "see" it through disk utility. Do you know what the Unix pathname of the unmounted but firewire-visible disk...

    Invalid key length on External Firewire disk

    My nice 120G buslink drive worked for about 10 days just fine; then the system hung while I was importing video from my digicam. I think what might have happened was the system went to sleep while doing a long import. At any rate, I came back & it was hung. I'm running 10.2.4; nearly new 1Ghz...
