Thank you! Initially, my rectangle was completely blank. I added something to my wish list and now it renders much like yours.

I have iTunes 11.4 on a Mac running 10.6.8. The iTunes has this odd button (see attached). When I click it, an empty rectangle opens up. Is something wrong? I scanned around Google images and I can't find anyone else with this button. Do other folks have this button? And if so, what is in...

Probably not the suggestion you were looking for: why not hire out? In Austin (I've been told) there are folks who sorta do that type of work for local artists either free or for a very low price. It might be worth an ad on Craig's list just to see.

Thank you for the replies. I believe you are correct. What is odd to me is the new file, to me at least, is a data file and not an app. Indeed, the file itself does not have execute permissions. I thought maybe I had never opened Libre Office since the last update but I can start Libre...

When I first double clicked it, it did not know which app to use so I picked Libre Office. Now, when I double click the file I get: "foo.vsdx" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and...

I do customer support and got a vsdx file from a customer. Libre Office might be able to open it but my Mac is screaming at me "Do you really want to do this?". The text of the warnings includes "execute". Can these files actually execute? Will Libre Office offer me an option to not allow...

I have pulled all my music together and used dupin to remove duplicates. iTunes has more nasty twists and turns than an old logging trail. geeze. Anyhow, dupin gets a thumbs up.

That looks cool. $15 is cheap if it saves me even just an hours worth of time. Odd how iTunes itself doesn't have these features. Thank you again, Perry

Do others feel like I do? Apple and Mac seem to get more convoluted and less intuitive. I get more frustration with Mac OS X today than I use to. Here is an example: I start iTunes. It says there is a new update. Ok. Get me the update. In the past, it would just go get the update...

This may be drop dead easy but I am not sure. Over the years, I've changed laptops and various hard drives and I now have several iTunes libraries scattered about. You would think that I would have pulled the old on to the new and then just extended the new library. I have created a complete...

Hi, Just stopped by to say "hello". I got the email from Scott. I don't visit as much simply because I don't have as many problems as I use to but I always come here first when I do get stuck. Good luck and take care, Perry

I have a late 2007 Mac Book Pro (macbookpro3,3). It is running 10.6.8. Probably over a year ago, the display stopped working and the display port also stopped working. But I could (and still can) connect via VNC (Sharing) and it works just fine. I had tried resetting the pram and various...

The General tab of Security and Privacy has a setting to require a password e.g. 15 minutes after sleep or screen saver begins. I set this just in case my laptop falls into a evil doer's hands. The disk is encrypted. I assume that with all that, I am somewhat safe. But what I really...

The repeat I set for once a year (to satisfy #2). In iCal for example, I can set a list of "alerts" to go off. Each alert can be one of four things and a specified amount of time before the event. On a slightly different topic, with Reminders, if it is just a simple thing like go to the...

I have need to schedule ToDo's. The example today is I need to pay the state sales tax for my corporation. It is due Jan 20'th or so each year. What I want is: The ability to check it off as completed The ability to have it repeat The ability to remind me multiple times before the date...

That just dings the bell for me. Another person suggested I toggle System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts from "Text Boxes ..." to "All controls". This sorta solves my problem but I'm worried that I'm not going to like the effect it has on other applications. Also, the...

I need to make my questions more clear... I already knew about that but I don't think it will work on this occasion. The dialog box says: "Enter the exact name of the menu command you want to add" -- the checkbox for Replace doesn't have a menu command. The "All" and "Replace" buttons that...

With one of the recent Mail.app updates, the search and replace while composing changed to a more "shiny" GUI interface. The old version could be 100% driven by the keyboard. I can't find a way to do that with the new version. To phrase that more directly: How can I do search and replace...

About once a month or so for the past year plus, my screen will freeze. The sequence is that just as it turns the display off due to inactivity, it is progressing to the screen saver but has not made it there yet, if I touch a key to wake it back up, it will just hang with the screen "black"...

First, the preferences has been a weak point on Macs forever. They would often get trashed and "throwing away" the preferences was a common first step in fixing some new quirk that had crept in. Usually these were application preferences. They are getting much better over the past few years...
