    college students embrace mac

    Indeed. I've had echos that Apple is actually being quite successful in selling to business. Is this yet another indicator that things are changing.?

    TimeMachine does not backup everything!

    Ok - Mikuro, thanks for the link. This proves to be the case with me. Here are the conclusions of my reading and testing: Apparently Apple does provide a manner to block archiving by TimeMachine. This can be set using the "com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem" file attribute and the...

    TimeMachine does not backup everything!

    It's v1.1 downloaded from their site. You think the version affects TimeMachine? Aren't VMware files just files? OK - bundles of folders and files. But there are many similar files on the mac (ie. applications). For sure I have peeked into the VMware files but I did not change the security...

    TimeMachine does not backup everything!

    I have just noticed that Time Machine does not seem to want to backup certain big files I have (such as VMware virtual machines 5gb files). I have checked the options setup in TimeMachine and there is no setting here that could imply that these files would not be backed-up. I have made a...

    Ipod touch 8 Gig missing Mail program

    Well, True, but as the iPod Touch is close to identical in architecture to the iPhone (except for the phone and camera), there is little speculation that v2.0 will not work on iPod Touch - at least, I hope....

    Ipod touch 8 Gig missing Mail program

    The iPod touch 8gig is one of the first generation iPod touchs. Email was not delivered at that time. This is probably your issue. You can confirm you have the original iPod Touch software bundle by checking the calendar application. If you CANNOT enter entries in calendar you have an old...

    Firmware update

    This must be a great answer, but as the question was posted in English, can the answer be given in english too?

    Printer setup

    Viro, Eldiabloconcaca all I can say is that selecting the paper size is not ALWAYS sufficient. Fact is, as Eldiabloconcaca indicated, most printers will defensively prohibit printing if it thinks the wrong paper size is inserted. Call me excessive, but when you print, you just want it to print...

    Printer setup

    I'm not asking for help... this is an opinion forum. My opinion is that the print functionality does not have that "its easy" touch to it.

    I think that would be an expensive exercise admitting it was possible - which I doubt.

    Printer setup

    I am writing because I believe the present approach to printing is just not user friendly. Most often than not any image printing results in multiple prints because something goes wrong. And honestly the "preiunter setup" and then "print" options should be only one (this is the case in...

    Air

    The keyboard is just fine. The back light is a little strong in my sense. And the largish track pad is easy to access. Added plus is the size of the trackpad which generates a comfortable space to rest ones hands when typing. I think the problem with your keyboard is either a back pick or...

    missing utilities folder!

    Can you indicate where it was and if you think it got there due to some manipulation you did? This answer could help others in the future?

    dotMAC mail question

    I've noticed that it is now possible to use a private domain name in iWEB. I was wondering if this feature also extends to the email addresses? Has anyone tried this? I ask this because the "trial" dotMAC account does is not a full featured version. :-(

    Dented Mac Pro - am I a fool to not return it?

    The fact is if later on down the road a "hidden" issue appears, who says you will find that same mac mall rep, and will he remember. Return the machine

    ZIP fie with no mac hidden files

    Thanks for your response Simbalala, Although blueharvest seems to work, the fact that it is always active is a little painful because I don't want hidden files removed from all .zip files. Your idea about the unix option seems better, I will work with it once I have done some further testing...

    Compress PDF

    I'm sorry but I do not think you read my post. I have tried this option but the quality of compressed bitmap figures in PDF becomes very bad in Leopard. Whilst in Tiger the option lead to good quality figures.

    ZIP fie with no mac hidden files

    Hello, Does anyone know how to create a zip file without the hidden files that mac generates (for example .DS_Store) I need this to send a clean zip of marketting material to customers that are ... unfortunately.. PC based. Any ideas - that does not require use of a PC?

    Airport Very slow transfer rate: info?

    I see this intermittedly on my Macs as well. I have not found a solution appart from making sure I initiate the connection between two Macs using the emitter mac (ie emitter: from mac A to B, connect to B from A then push the file from A INSTEAD OF from mac A to B, connect to A from B then...

    Compress PDF

    I am writing here about the dis-appearance of "Compress PDF" option from the print-preview. This feature was available in Tiger and dropped in Leopard. Actually there is a compress PDF feature (either via an applescript that can be downloaded) or using Quartz filter "reduce filesize"...
