An early app on my 2008-new Mac was Wireshark (1.0.2, I think). It's sole irritating fault was that the GUI menus were very cramped and hard to read. Then it started going a bit awry: clicking on its icon brought up X11 only and a second clicking was needed to get WS. Then I saw a 1.0.7...

My app launching needs are met: in addition to Quicksilver - which I don't have to tell anyone is excellent - I have been using Dock-it mainly for those apps that I feel a need for visual cues for and for the useful shelf applet (multiple instances if I want). Not perfect, but does the trick.

It would seem not. I was hoping to find some who had succeeded in spite of the odds with Canon's own driver (1.70). It's hard for me to believe that everybody gave up the ghost on it. Maybe I'm very naive thinking that Canon got at least a bit of it right! I logged the printer at 'debug'...

This is not a poll, it's a desperate plea just to find anyone who has got one of these printers to print from their Mac! If you have one, just reply. Please. If you have actually got it working I'd love to know how! MacOSX.com 'Ask a Tech' has failed to reply to this plea (twice) so...

This question probably has an obvious answer but my ignorance Apple-wise is still great. Question: I now have rescued 1522 songs, named but without artist, album and genre info. Is it possible to obtain this info from some source on the Web to flesh the tracks out once they're back in...

The magic word to use is 'Restore', not 'format' or 're-format'! Thanks for that DeltaMac. The restoration is under way as I write... (crosses fingers). BTW, 1.3.1 IS the current version of the software!!!

No-one seems to know what the most recent iPod software is (mine is 1.3.1) and the only way I will be able to update it is if it is in Apple format. I'm stumped how to reformat the storage inside my nano 1 Gen. to Mac format. How do I do this and still have the Nano's OS(?) still alive to...

Thanks (heart-felt) posted! 'Open and copy', not 'drag and drop' is what did it!

When following the instructions and trying to add an icon to a desktop alias, the .PNG file dragged on to the initial icon at the top of the 'get info' bar (Inspector?) does not stick. A generic icon that resembles the Preview icon but with the text PNG on it is there instead. Something's...

I have had a mini attached to a Canon LBP5000 colour laser printer since I got the mini in April and am unable to make it print. After a longish delay Canon seem to have got a functioning driver (by others' accounts). The driver is the latest - 1.70 - and I followed the installation guide to...

Adderview claims it to be compatible with Mac a.w.a. Sun,MS, etc. but the small print says "via PS/2 to USB adaptors". Has anybody used these devices successfully with their Macs? I want to use it with a Mac, a PC and a Linux box.

Just for the record and the heretics, different docks on each Space can be easily implemented with 'Dock Spaces' (see: http://www.nscoding.co.uk/). Multiple docks (but seen on all Spaces) can be done with http://www.gideonsoftworks.com/dockit.html although not as prettily as Apple would do...

Thanks to all you swift responders! After I saw a previous poster fail to get a response after 2 years to a similar but well-mannered query I thought I had to phrase mine differently get some attention - and maybe even a bit of helpful advice. It worked (thanks VTracy), although the utility...

I notice Mac users have been crying out for multiple Docks for YEARS but Apple engineers/marketing don't have the brainpower to devise them. Has anyone else found ways to display more than one Dock on the screen at the same time? Obviously I know of Dock Fun, Docks and other single...

Ta. I could use it but don't... I did and I got the page name and '29 items'. Period. Not stumped as I have Firefox ands its (above) extension!

Now you have two! you're worth it, you know!

Yes, Nixgeek, that is EXACTLY what I wanted! If you feel like a copy of the Padmasambhava mantra, I'll send it in gratitude!

I am trying to download a sound file from a site that seems to have a Flash Player interface. This disallows the usual "Save link as", etc. options so I am left with finding a Mac-related OpenSource offering. It was suggested that VLC or Mplayer would do this stream ripping. It might help to...

Giaguara, I'm into VBox to avoid paying for Fusion, nice though it was during my fiddle with it during beat testing. I might go back if the serious stuff can't survive VBox. And, yes, the VBox forums are a bit slow to respond.

Many thanks, Diablo, for your help. My screen res now is up to a comfortable 1360x768. Quite enough to work in. The mouse is now integrated in that passing it over the VM lets it work in Ubuntu and then moving it into the Mac desktop goes without any interruption (before I had to press the...
