    Installation: Terminal doesn't work

    Let me guess. You didn't buy it from Adobe. Right?

    How to properly manage your fonts on a mac

    I used to be a big user of Suitcase back in the pre OSX days but I never bothered to use FontExplorer because at first it was a little flakey and I never tried anything else. But fonts have gotten out of hand so it's time to clean up. Did you move all the fonts out of the...

    How to properly manage your fonts on a mac

    It may be clearer to say - create a folder called “Fonts” in the root directory of your hard drive, eg: /Fonts.

    Web Design Pricing

    And so it has always been. Long before the “interweb” became all the rage exactly the same issues came up in design for print and they still exist. Insane amounts of time can be spent for little or no financial reward if one is not careful and tough. As I see it the problem with web design is...

    How to properly manage your fonts on a mac

    I tried to post this on Natobasso's blog using the google “profile” option but nothing happens. I have Typepad and openid accounts but I can never remember what they are. Anyways it's probably better here, more eyes... This is a little unclear. Where do you suggest best locating this...

    Is this for real?

    It's known as “grasping at straws”.

    Cannot access desktop to delete files!

    Here's the correct link: http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/300851-interesting-problem-finder-freezes-one-user.html Should be fairly straightforward. Basically in Terminal you cd to your desktop folder and rm the junk files using wildcard characters in the file names. If...

    Oops, I posted the wrong link, didn't check carefully enough, give me a minute to find the right one.

    Cannot access desktop to delete files!

    See http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/275684-my-desktop-locked-help-please.html It sounds like you can use your regular account to use Terminal so you can skip some steps but the method is the same.

    iWeb 08 Refected Image - Problems in IE

    I.E. is always a problem, it's bad in so many ways it's hard to count them all. There are many work-arounds for I.E., especially with CSS but without seeing what you're taking about or the code it's probably impossible to offer any suggestions.

    Mac extended keyboard spacebar

    I've got one, had it for over a year but I never noticed any noise from the spacebar. What kind of noise, a squeak or what?

    How to choose a strong password (for anything!)

    Keychain Access has a pretty good assistant for creating passwords and checking password strength. Go to File -> New Password Item then click the Key. It brings up a password generator with several options and checks the strength.

    size of web pages over 100%

    Maybe you're in a situation where you can't make the window bigger by dragging the lower right hand corner because you've completely filled your screen with the Safari window. Then just go to the View menu in Safari and select actual size in the Zoom option.

    size of web pages over 100%

    Done. It's the same, set zoom (in Safari's View menu) to zoom everything and I can size the entire game up or down. I can still resize the window so nothing gets clipped. I have to make it bigger when zoomed in to avoid the clipping.

    size of web pages over 100%

    OK, I went back to the site to experiment with zoom in and zoom out (still using Firefox though). I normally keep Firefox set to zoom text only but I switched to allow it to zoom all page contents. Now I can zoom the entire Flash page up and down in size, so I can make the cards bigger. I can...

    size of web pages over 100%

    I don't have any problems with the site. I used Firefox and didn't try (yet) with Safari because I apparently “started” a game, closed the window and now can't get back in because “I'm already playing a game”. But anyway, it's a fixed size page (all Flash based) so maybe you just need to...

    size of web pages over 100%

    Would you care to post the web site address (if it's not a private site)? We can then offer a solution.

    Reset Page ins/outs without restart?

    Does anyone know of a way to reset the page ins/outs data which one sees in Activity Monitor without a restart? I'd like to know which work patterns jack this up for me. I have somewhere on this Mac a utility which did this (and more) but for the life of me I can't find it and I can't...

    Some basic Fiber questions.

    Fibre is terrific, it solves all kinds of problems which one runs into with metallic cabling, EMI just completely goes away as an issue. I know you don't care about distance but even with multi mode fibre runs of thousands of feet are not a problem, single mode takes you to miles. It sounds...
