I am using Mac OS 10.4.11, and I ran an application which put the entire Macromedia Flash directory into the trash. It contained a locked file, which I took out again, but the system is insisting that that item is still there. In fact, nothing is left in the trash, but if I try to delete a new...

Well, thanks for the reference anyway. I like the tester, and have bookmarked the link. I found a button that will launch the blocker (which is what the javascript is supposed to do). It works, so I guess I can forget about the keypresses.

I like the tester at the end of the page. How would I alter the javascript code to use the keycode directly? Apparently, Shift is keycode 16 and Option is keycode 18. What one is supposed to do is use Shift-Alt-B to do something, and Shift-Alt-U to do something else. I also wonder if the...

I have a Javascript file that detects key codes, but it is set to react to Windows keyboard keys. How would I adapt it to work with a Mac keyboard? // Hotkeys document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e){ if(e.shiftKey && !e.ctrlKey && e.altKey){ switch(e.keyCode){ // Edit...

How does one get the Java plugin to work with Mac Opera? I cannot get any Java applets to load using Opera, yet I see Java plugins in the list of plugins.

Does anyone here know how to remove elements from web pages (such as ad links) with Mac Opera? I have tried the adblock.js file, but I cannot get it to work. The instructions say to use Alt-Shift-B to start the blocking process and that is supposed to allow a box outline to be dragged around...

You can block that domain. It is merely a snoop trying to gather information about users of websites anyway, and page access speeds up if you block it. I used Adblock Plus with Firefox and Safari Block on Safari to block it.

Is there any handy little utility that can check Safari's bookmarks to see if any are invalid? I have such a thing for Firefox in the form of an extension, but have never seen any bookmark checker for Safari. Such a thing for Opera bookmarks would be nice as well, if I decide to install...

I would have to let Google set cookies for that to work. I am not willing to do that. The special modification to the code for the search plugin gives me more results per page without allowing any cookies. Why would one search plugin with the hostname www.google.ca still give me 100 hits...

I modified the Google Classic search plugin from the Mycroft site to give 100 results per page instead of 10. This was working on Mac Firefox as well as Windows Firefox until recently. I noticed just now that I am getting only 10 results per page with the Mac, but still 100 with Windows. Why...

If I try to get the video stream from this site with either Safari or Firefox, I get no stream. Quicktime launches a window and keeps pausing without playing the video. http://www.nps.gov/features/yell/live/oflive.htm I updated the Perian codec and confirmed that I have the latest version of...

You are right - so they did!

That does not work for me. It gets downloaded and then gives an error message that the update cannot be installed. Getting updates manually always worked before. I do not see why it does not work properly now.

I tried the new version (or what is supposed to be the new version of Safari for Tiger, but it loads as Safari 4.1Tiger, and will not install because it says there is a newer version installed already. What is Apple doing? Did they simply rename version 4.1 as 4.1.2 and expect it to install?

Is that the name of the hard drive? You can change that to whatever you like.

I think you have to make a new account. I do not believe that you can change the name of an existing account.

If you use the bookmark menu with Safari, its font will be whatever size you set up for the Finder's font size. It is a shame that the preference settings do not allow one to change the font size for the bookmark list that is accessed from the bookmark toolbar, however.

Thumbnail icons for images (created by Graphic Converter, for example) are stored in resource forks, which are files that travel with the original files, but are normally invisible.

It is possible that Safari 5.0.1 does not have the same issue as 5.0. That was true for me with 4.1.1 vs 4.1.

The interface is the app itself whose icon you see in the Applications directory. If you open the pkg file with Pacifist, you should see that icon in the list of the package contents. You can drag it out of there and drop it into the Applications directory.
