Good point. Doesn't give him exactly what he wants (which I assume is something like what Windows does with Explorer), but it does display the file info, and more of it than Explorer, when you click a file in column view. It just doesn't do it in the little bar at the bottom of the Finder...

Done. :) Way off topic, but... --> Was sorted by name (default). I had to sort by rating, and then add rating to everything. Would be nice if WordPress had a numeric that you could set (other than the key field in the database) to put things into the order that you want them. I started editing...

What if the printer were not supported, like my Lexmark X6170?

You don't need aliases to get this done. It's very simple. Here is a link to a tip that explains the process. http://www.mymacblog.com/index.php/archive/tip-moving-the-iphoto-library/

Current frontmost window of what? Finder? Another app? Or are you looking for something non-specific?

Press Command+Escape. By default, that's the keystroke, I believe.

You can always see if it helps to display the info about a folder or drive under it. Try this... For the Desktop: Click the Desktop... Now, press Command+J When the view options panel appears, check the box titled "Show item info". For all other folders: Now, open a new Finder window...

I would look into some professional software that allows you to mount a camera and still take pictures. Check out a few forums dealing with photography for some advice on what software/hardware you would need to purchase.

That looks new. See, if you wait long enough, someone will create something useful. :) Testing it out now.

He's new, it appears, and might not have known that (yes, it seems obvious, but work in any kind of tech support, or field calls from users, and you'll find that you have to ask the question every time someone calls, until they get used to providing that information). Most new users aren't...

You could always turn off the MiniStore. The latest version of iTunes, when installed, has the MiniStore turned off by default, I believe. This is probably due to the large number of people that complained about the new "feature", and to the fact that there was a little negative press in the...

I find that Entourage gets the job done for me. I like many of the features, and am used to having about 30 or 40 mail rules, coming from Outlook a few years ago. Now that Sync Services have been added (although not implemented as nicely as I'd hoped), syncing Entourage's contacts and calendar...

Regarding backing up your system first...if you want to do that, you can use Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper, or some similar backup software, to make a clone of your current drive, if you have an external FireWire drive. If you find that something goes terribly wrong during the install, which...

They've been talking about this on This Week in Tech for several weeks now. That said, online petitions are a complete waste of time. Any time someone says, "Please sign my Web-based petition, I politely find a way to change the conversation." They simply don't work, no matter how many...

This is possible as well. Your MemoryStick will mount to the Desktop as a drive/volume. Just open the volume on the Desktop and take a look at the pictures inside. I believe they will open in Preview, and, if not, you can always change things so that the image type you are shooting is always...

When you say "reinitialize and restore", you are talking about doing a backup, wiping the boot disk, and then restoring to that boot disk from the backup that you made, correct?

To get rid of the VM files, restart is all you can do, I believe. If you delete them directly, your machine will probably lock up. I tried this once before, just to see what would happen (actually, someone told me on a forum to do it), and had to power off the machine via the power button.

I have an older CyberShot, and have had other CyberShot cameras connected to my Mac on many occasions, as well as other model digital cameras. OS X never has a problem, and the memory cards are mounted as flash drives. You shouldn't have any issues. If you have iPhoto installed, it will try to...

While I generally agree with where you are going with this, my point was clear about the fact that the Web site courts the Mac user community. I understand that people can choose to digg something or not digg it, however, when you have categories that are specific to a company, but do not have...

Sounds like a kernel panic with regard to the text with the black background behind it. I was getting those the last few days, instead of the "restart your computer" message in multiple languages that I've gotten in the past (when I had Norton AntiVirus installed). Do you have any...
