Wow... I had no idea folks had moved OS X over to non-Apple hardware.

I drove home, logged back in, and my tap-drag was gone again. I muddled around and finally found this article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20081959-1/how-to-fix-the-single-most-annoying-thing-in-osx-lion-bring-back-tap-to-drag/ This is working for me... they just hid the options under...

Oh... I see... Yes, I can drag with three fingers. Hmm... Had I been introduced to that, I might have preferred it but at this point the tap-drag is sooooo deep into my fingers I don't know if I could change. But it sounds like maybe you are right. They are trying to change. So... with that...

http://computerworld.com.edgesuite.net/mactrackpad/trackpad1_sm.jpg The bottom two check boxes. This image is obviously the older UI design. I think they just forgot them on the newer design?

I can not find the options that I remember anywhere. I thought maybe they may be part of the mouse interface so I plugged in the mouse. As I recall, it was a stair step sequence of three check boxes. And the other two boxes I can't find -- even for the other user.

I think I'm close to solving this. The UI in preferences is broken. I'm not sure if it is just me or not. I'm on 10.7.5. What should happen is when I check the "tap to click", then another option use to appear for dragging. If that was checked, the "lock" option would appear. Those two...

That didn't work. Something is really odd. I would expect the settings to go back to their defaults but they are not. I tried doing it from another user thinking that the Finder (or something) was writing out their old copy but that still didn't work I even tried rebooting, log in a the...

Yes to both :-) click drag is working. tap drag is not working. Just tap is working. With a different user, it is working fine. Both users are non-admin. I have Better Touch Tool but even with it deleted, I still have the same issue. As expected, Fixing Disk Permissions and rebooting did...

I have a Magic Track Pad. On both of them, the tap drag to create a selection stopped working. The "Tap to click" is working and the click and drag to select is working but not the tap and drag to select. Any ideas of what happened? This started a few days ago and continues today. I've...

Well, I can't make a copy if I can't even load them can I? They have to at least stay inside the machine for me to have any hope but they just get ejected after a half minute or so.

The new interface to iTunes 11 is awful. I can't help you much only except to say that it takes me FOREVER to figure out even the simplest of things. They may be competing with Lotus Notes for the most difficult to user interface in the history of computing.

I bought 4 albums with a total of 6 CDs. Two of them will not work on my Macs. I tried on a Mac PowerBook Pro circa 2007 running 10.6 and a new Pro circa 2011 running 10.7.5. I put the CDs in the player in my truck and they work just fine. I wanted to load them into iTunes. In both cases...

My typical use is to go buy a USB drive and point Time Machine at it. I use a laptop mostly. Today, my monitor is Apple's monitor that has a USB connector in the back. I plug in my USB drive in there so anytime I have my laptop hooked up to my monitor, the USB is hooked up as well. The small...

I don't use iCloud... it scares me. But I thought you could turn iCloud on for your Mac as well. If you did that, it might suck down the contact list into your Mac.

Any backups? With Apple's TimeMachine and other features, I hope you have a backup.

I'm always dubious when claims use the word "may"... My favorite is "Orange juice may reduce the risk of some cancers." That is a totally worthless statement. So, to say that a generic formatter may reduce performance is like saying (to me) that wearing no socks may reduce performance. It...

I'm on Lion. My memory is vague but I know some how sometime I could get a little round disk to pop up. The further down from the disk you placed the mouse, the faster the page would scoll up. The intent was to set a slow scroll rate and sit back and read the page. This might have been...

Thank you for the help. My frustration is that it displays a GUI window which I have to command-Q to get rid of each time I log in. And I don't VPN into the office that often.

Hi Guys, I have installed Cisco's "AnyConnect" VPN client on my system (10.7.3). I normally log in as a non-admin user. For all users on the system, the AnyConnect application appears in their "login items". The problem is, I can delete it from all of the user's login items but upon...

How does this fit with "last" or "wtmp" ?
