I really appreciate you writing all this helpful info! For the record, I got the problem fixed the day that it happened. Disk Utility had written the complete "Zero's" temporary file, and then froze. I force quit it, but that caused the 0's file to get "lost". I ended up finding a terminal...

Hey, thanks! I actually got everything worked out a bit earlier through some assistance by a very helpful person at Macrumors.com. I ended up using a Terminal command to erase the temporary file that had been created by Disk Utility and then restarted my computer, and the free space showed...

I just got a reply in another forum about using sudo rm -f /var/root/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/* in terminal to delete the file that had been created by Disk Utility to erase the free disk space. I tried using it, but it didn't seem to do anything. I am wondering if I need to replace the...

Thank you for your reply! I thought of that, but I am deathly afraid that it won't be able to start up again, due to literally no disk space available, and everything on the HD will be completely lost. Currently I am manually copying everything from the HD folder over to an external HD, because...

Hello All, I'm having a pretty serious problem. I attempted to erase the free space on my HD, as I do from time to time, except this time it appeared to hang/freeze at the end, when it gets to the part where it creates a temporary file. I waited for several minutes and it didn't move. I tried...

Hi All, I am wondering if there is a way to decrease the space between menu items (the things on the right side of the menu bar). There is so much wasted space between them, especially the battery percentage and the time. Also, if anyone knows of a way to kill some of the unnecessary 3rd...

Hi All, I've been having minor finder window glitches for a while, such as not being able to view the top few rows of icons in a window after deleting a bunch of files, or or the window starting out with half of the first row cut off. Recently, weirder things have been happening...

Okay, this is about 25 minutes later and now the same Finder window is keeping its place, up to somewhere within the letter "P", exactly where some ".ips" files are. Once I get to the point where the .ips files are visible in the Finder window, it stops have the memory effect. When I return...

Hi All, It really annoys me that in Finder (in Icon View), when I'm in a given directory and I enter a sub-directory, when I go back up to the original directory, the window scrolls to the top. Sometimes it doesn't do this, but the majority of the time, it does. There must be a setting...

Hmm, it sounds like there might be a good purpose for having it then. I like the idea of having everything scanned when it comes in or gets modified. I just turned it off because I was afraid it would slow things down.

yeah, after reviewing the posts, it sure seems like you're making every effort to be polite. (intense sarcasm).

Oh, ok. Thanks. I'm surprised to learn that about ClamXav. I always thought it was the other way around. I find the real-time scanning annoying when it slows things down. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Nope you're wrong. Why don't you let the grown-ups have a polite conversation here?

ElDiabloConCaca, thanks again for your reply. I certainly didn't mean to imply that you personally don't care about your friends. I was just trying to make a point. :) As for the command-drag thing, it sounds like you're on Leopard and I'm on Tiger. In my copy of Tiger, the apple icon is not...

ElDiableConCaca, the command key trick did not work. Thank you for attempting to help me though. I appreciate it. So, besides Symantec being "useless" and not caring about your friends, are there any detrimental effects that Symantec could cause?

Hi, I'm still looking for an answer to my question: How do I make it so that the software is installed and working as normal, but there is no icon displayed in the menu bar? --------- jbarley, I would sure hate to be one of your friends. jbarleys friend: hey, i think something on...

To clarify, my question is: how do I make it so that the software is installed and working as normal, but there is no icon displayed in the menu bar? Thanks jbarley, sometimes windows viruses can get onto your hard disk or removable disks, and even though they don't affect you, they affect...

Hi All, I just installed Symantec Anti-Virus and it automatically puts an ugly icon in the menu bar. I already have a few things up there that i like/need and don't want the symantec button, but symantec doesn't give me the option to not display the button in the menu bar. I would like to...
