I always use this one - I have Expose controls mapped to buttons on my Logitech MX700 mouse. I Expose all over the place and it is very quick and never fails to impress. Perhaps I should try fooling the PC types by saying, "All windows" and "This window" so they believe it is all voice...

I have an Epson 740i printer and a Epson 2450 Perfection Scanner. Both actually work great with Tiger! The printer seemed obvious, but based on Epson's track record I really didn't expect Epson Scan to work (also have Vue Scan - great app!), but it actually did work, though it needed a restart...

I am 99% sure I know the answer here, but just want to make sure I have it right before I order something. Can't seem to find a clear answer, but probably because it is too obvious. I have a D-Link wireless router. My home office has the router, cable modem, my Mac and a USB printer. My...

Hi Rizon. I'm not an expert here, but my Windows to Mac problems were due to a firewall application on my PC - Zone Labs Integrity. Probably won't help you here, but it drove me nuts and might be worth checking to see if you have some kind of firewall settings or app on your PC.

I'm betting they will. I think all the focus was on searching in a new way for things people don't remember and/or content of a file and it works great for that, but of course people don't forget everthing!

Hi LMB, I have had Tiger running for about 10 hours and I have already had about 12 Spotlight success stories. After it did it's indexing thing (on my 6 drives - lots of video and images) I was able to find about 6 emails with app passwords, my latest resume (I keep updating them and store them...

Yes, but they are sure slow in responding via email for the download. I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

Thanks all - I actually used the back up option from 10.3.9 and that worked fine. Now I am on to Final Cut Pro HD! Don't worry, I think a fresh install is the way to go here! :-)

Hey Fryke, I am not that hopeless! :-) Seriously, thank you. I am LOVING my clean install. Starting all over with my Mac. Ah, it is Spring, a new OS... and cleaning out all my old junk. I don't know what was up with Safari via the Tiger upgrade and my old system, but that is the past... I'm on...

Oh man, I just did the Mail 2 import, moved mailboxes all over the place (out of the dumb "import" mailbox...) and now I see this post! :) By the way, do you have any hints for transferring Addresses in Address book (I have a clean install and my 10.3.9 system carbon copy cloned to an external...

Note, I did a clean install and registered with Apple. I was able to access this page with my Macs user name and password and get many more widgets. Weird, but since you are installing software, I guess it kind of makes sense, but is this a good practice?

Hi Ghost - I just did a clean install and I think I will stay with this. Remember, Safari is crashing on my 10.3 install, so upgrading that install seems problematic. I might as well just start fresh. P.S. It is AMAZING how much junk I no longer want to keep - files, apps... spring cleaning! :-)...

Just a FYI, I booted off my copied 10.3.9 HD (used Carbon Copy Cloner just prior to the 10.4 upgrade) and guess what, Safair 1.3 crashes on that drive too. Am I looking at a clean install of 10.4 to solve this? I mean, I will do it, but everything else on 10.4 seems solid! G4 1 Ghz DP, 756 MB or...

Thanks - actually, I edited the post, probably while you were replying! :-) I made a new post on the Safari issue, but your log in trick worked like a charm. Thanks again!

Hi all - thrilled with 10.4, but one problem. Safari crashes every time I try to start it. I did an updgrade from 10.3.9. Everything else is great. I tried deleting my prefs file com.apple.Safari.plist and no change. I thought maybe I could download and reinstall Safari RSS, but Apple only has...

Thanks riccbhard! Hey, since I have you here, might there be something similar for Safari. It simply will not run now that I upgraded to 10.4. Crashes every single time I try to start it. Well, I tried deleting com.apple.Safari.plist and no go. Maybe I should start a thread on this? It is...

How about having the correct city for yellow pages or changing the stocks in the stock widget? I like these widgets, but this is not up to Apple usability. It should be obvious.

Question please - what does removing this file do?

Maybe it is to help all the switchers feel slightly at home? :-)

Wise words - I kind of figured this on my own, but nice to see it here. Still, Apple could make this a little more obvious with a hard to miss notification and avoid any bad first impressions!
