I never said that Win2k wasn't faster than OSX, I just said that it too suffers from some of the shortcomings of OSX (does that show objectivity or subjective opinion?) in some areas (WMC). Read a little closer. I also never said there wasn't any room for improvement in OSX, there is plenty of...

Copy your entire user directories and application folders and you should not loose much at all. Actually, I have not had to reinstall X on any of the computers I own or admin. I have read in some forums that you can indeed reinstall over OS X and fix problems. But in lieu of the problems you are...

Something is wrong with your OS X install or hard drive. I have folders on our servers that have several hundred files on them and don't notice this 5-10 second delays. I don't see a much of a delay at all (<.25 sec.) when turning on the file size option in list view from the servers. I...

I bought the first 128k Macintosh in this city. I have had far more than 7 macs. I am a system admin of a large company with access to the latest greatest technology. I have purchased over 50 some Macs for this company in the last few years. I don't have a problem navigating the Finder at all...

I will just give up posting here as it does no good. If you don't like OS X go use something else. My 450 cube and X will suffice for me. Go use Windows and don't ask for advice when all you want to do is bitch and whine!

No, it is more RAM for better performance, as it is with any computer, Mac OS X, Win2k, XP. More RAM=better performance. How is that a bug? The only technical issue here is get as much RAM as you can afford and with a 512mb stick costing around $125, it isn't hard to understand from any point...

If you hold down the control key when clicking a folder in the dock, it will respond faster. The delay to click and hold before it displays is there so it won't pop-up inadvertently when someone just wants to click on it. All of these things will get cached into RAM and the more memory you...

Glad to hear that fixed your problem. I use the Get Info window to display files sizes, when I need them. I also use the green widget to resize the windows and no longer drag the lower right. It works very well in the Finder. Having access to many Win2k and XP systems that have fast window...

If you are in list view, remove the column displaying the size of the file. This causes a delay as it is calculating the file sizes.

Control F2 will activate the menus using the keyboard. I don't know if this on by default though.

I think that is has to do with the Finder calculating the sizes of the files. For other OSes, it doesn't do that and is much faster. If you look at the amount of traffic it generates, there certainly is a lot more going on than just showing the files and folder structures.

When using the terminal and trying to access iDisk I get this error when cd... ing to Mac OS X Software folder [localhost:/volumes/mactech/Software] mactech% ls -A .DS_Store Apple Software Extras Mac OS X Software [localhost:/volumes/mactech/Software] mactech% ls -F...

but it won't ship until the 2 quarter

It doesn't even change to a text cursor ( I-Beam ) in the Finder, when changing the name of a file. How blatantly obvious is that and it still hasn't been fixed in 10.1.3 I notice that OmniWeb will often not change to indicate a link that I am clicking on or mousing over.

Adobe has finally made a commitment to delivering OS X in April? Let's hope so. CNET has the story :D

The file can be found in your users folder in the library/preferences folder. The file is com.apple.iPhoto.plist

doublejoint, If you connect to the internet through xyz.net ISP you generally must use their smtp servers to send any email. For example, I am an Adelphia cable subscriber and they don't provide an email address to their users. So I don't have an smtp server to send mail. The only way I...

What does the activity viewer window show when you try to send? I have seen the mail.app leave mail in the outbox when it was actually delivered to the SMTP server. It would then stay there in the outbox and appear as though it was never sent. I could delete it, create another email to the same...

did you try dragging the file into the Desktop picture well? If that doesn't work then there must be something wrong with the format of the jpeg.

While most all apps will run outside the Application folder, the programmers writing the updaters are not as savvy as they used to be in the pre OS X days. We were spoiled back then and can only ask Apple to have their 'nix and immigrated x86 programmers to 'pay more attention' to details. At...
