:o BINGO!! Thanks, I'd forgotten having even posted this question!

Bingo! Figures it'd be something so blindingly simple. Is that auto-logout option on be default? Many thanks. DeltaMac - you're right. I shoulda thought of that but I'd already been racking my teeny, tiny brain for a while...obviously stunning my critical thinking centers. Hope the effects...

When I set my Mac to doing something (video compression, large file copies, what-have-you) that will require a long time to complete I tend to start these processes at a time when I'll be stepping away from the computer for a while. So, operating under the assumption that screensavers and/or...

Nobody? *sniff*

I've had pics associated with specific contacts in my address book for a long time. Just after the latest iphone update (1.0.2) all of those pics have disappeared both from the iphone and from my Mac's Address Book app. So I guess I have two questions: 1. Has anyone else had this happen...

I have an Excel spreadsheet in which each cell in one particular column contains a concatenate function to produce the necessary values. Now, for ease of copy/pasting the resulting values into other documents, I've been attempting to copy that column and 'paste>special>values' into a new one. My...

I don't know about Intel models but I'm almost 100% certain that a USB2 drive can NOT boot a PowerPC Mac. An external Firewire drive can, however, be made bootable. SATA...I'm not sure. eSATA, by the way, simply refers to an external (that's the 'E') SATA port for hooking a SATA device into...

Don't forget to check out Cowon's iAudio players. Most of them get great reviews for both build and sound quality and many models will also display pics and videos. My brother owns one of the harddrive-based models and swears by it (as opposed to AT it).

Check the Shape Dynamics section of your brushes palette - the size jitter is probably set to Pen Pressure. Since a mouse doesn't send any pressure information, the brush will behave as though the size jitter were turned off but the Wacom does send pressure information, of course, and so the...

Whew! That was much easier than I was expecting. Thanks, Cap'n. :)

I don't know what happened but I assume that iPhoto downloaded and installed an update by itself because between the time I used it earlier this afternoon and when I fired it up this evening it decided that my library needed to be updated/re-imported in order to work with "this version" of...

Okay, now this is REALLY weird -- I went to look at the directory I've been trying to trash. I see what appears to be endlessly recursive folders. That is, inside each folder is the same file listing along with a folder at the top that wasn't there originally. Inside THAT folder is......exactly...

Well, hell's bells. After 27 minutes, the status window finally changed to "Deleting dropped files..." but there was also a popup with a listing of files (I could only see so many because the window wasn't scrollable and there WERE a ton of files in that directory) and each of them were...

Hmmmm.....trying TrashIt now. As I write this, the status window has been sitting on "Please wait...Unlocking files..." for about 17 minutes (I'm not using a stopwatch but that's a pretty accurate time). Nothing further has happened yet although I am able to operate in any other application but...

Oops. What I'd actually tried was DeleteIt. And I should've mentioned this in my first post, in any event. Tried DeleteIt and something called Graveyard to no avail. Since they didn't work and I'm always hearing about the power of using Unix tools directly, I figured Unix was the way to go. No...

I did try TrashIt. It appeared to be working on the problem for quite a while before finally returning an error (I'll have to try it again if anyone needs the error number - I didn't make a note of it). And the files were all still there....completely intact and laughing at me! -Neal

I have a directory on an external firewire drive that I'd like to delete but it's being exceedingly stubborn. I can move it to the trash but when I try to empty the trash and it starts counting up the files with the message "preparing to empty trash" it goes on for a looooonnnnng time counting...

I've only just hooked an Olympus P-11 dye-sub printer to my Dual 2GHz G5 tower and installed the Olympus drivers. Upon reboot, I'm able to add the P-11 to my printer list with no problem and it appears in the print dialogue when I need to select it.....say, in iPhoto. No problem. Click 'print.'...
