    Color picker -- Where are saved colors stored?

    At the bottom of the color picker, there's a grid where you can save colors. It's actually an expandable "drawer" that can be pulled down, allowing you to save dozens and dozens of colors. I had done this and had accumulated a sizable palette of colors that I need. Well, I just upgraded to a...

    Need help quitting *phantom* OmniFocus process

    Thanks. I actually do run AppTrap! But I probably had not yet installed it at the time I deleted OmniFocus, almost a year ago. :-) Thanks again!

    Need help quitting *phantom* OmniFocus process

    No, I didn't delete the webloc files, because they are harmless. However, a deeper search led me to an OmniGroup plist file, located in ~/Library/Launch Agents, that I think may have been the culprit. I removed it and restarted, and that appears to have stopped the phantom process from running...

    Need help quitting *phantom* OmniFocus process

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I wasn't clear: There's nothing executable on my machine, bearing the name OmniFocus or OmniGroup. I deleted all of it, months and months ago. (All that's left are webloc files and text documents.) But obviously some kind of process is being run, over and over...

    Need help quitting *phantom* OmniFocus process

    Several months ago, while using the public beta of OmniFocus (and long before the iPhone SDK existed), OmniGroup toyed with an OF web interface. I tried it once or twice, but never used it again. Eventually I stopped using OF, all together, but.... Tonight I needed to look into my system.log...

    Upgradedb error after Leopard u/g

    Giaguara, you rock! I was having the exact same symptoms and was losing my mind. Found absolutely nothing useful in the Apple discussions, but eventually ended up here. Found this thread, trashed the folder referenced above, and voila -- I'm back up and running. Thank you!!!

    Generic app icons w/white circle & slash - why?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit confused, though, because it seems you may not have read my entire post. :-) I mentioned that when this happens, restarting my machine (or logging out and back in) fixes the problem 100% of the time -- and I typically don't see the problem again for weeks...

    Generic app icons w/white circle & slash - why?

    I'm running Tiger. Every now and then, a bunch of my apps' icons change to a generic app icon with a white circle & slash superimposed. (Screenshot attached.) While many apps are unaffected, these particular apps refuse to launch until I restart the machine or log out/back in. Although...

    Can't access http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/

    Thanks for the reply. While I do understand your reply, unfortunately my situation is more complicated than I stated. (I was attempting to keep it simple.) :-) I've been attempting to run an iTunes applescript that was posted here...

    Can't access http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/

    I've been trying to figure this out for hours.... I can access http://127.0.0.1/ -- and I get the "installation successful" message. But when I add ~myusername/, I get: >>Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~myusername/ on this server. Apache/1.3.33 Server at...

    USB card reader not recognized on new Intel Mac! Suggestions?

    This probably isn't the answer you want, but the new multi-reader i bought was like $20. You'll spend more than the equivalent of that much in time, searching for drivers. IMHO, at that price, it's so much easier to just buy a new reader and move on. :-)

    USB card reader not recognized on new Intel Mac! Suggestions?

    It was the driver. A reattempt to mount that drive (CF card) produced an error message, stating that "this extension cannot be used... Please reinstall or check for an update from the developer." In the meantime, I just bought a newer multi-card reader, plugged it in, and it just worked, right...

    USB card reader not recognized on new Intel Mac! Suggestions?

    I'm a very experienced user and own several Macs. I just replaced my PowerBook G4 with a new MacBook Pro (MBP). I used Migration Assistant to copy all files and settings and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. But the MBP doesn't recognize my USB compact flash card reader when...

    What characters to force items to bottom of Finder list?

    The hierarchy changed in OS X, and the character I used to use (IIRC it was "~") doesn't work anymore. I've never been happy with the substitutes I've found, so far (like "?"; it's just too clunky and conspicuous). What are you guys using? [NOTE: The character displayed above as "?" was...

    Text looks different in "Mail" and "TextEdit." Why??

    Thanks for the reply. Originally, I was on a 17" PowerBook G4. But I also just verified the same behavior on a Dual 2.7 G5. (No Intels, here.) The 100% question is very interesting, though. How do I verify the percentage setting? A quick peek through TextEdit's menus didn't reveal it (but I may...

    Text looks different in "Mail" and "TextEdit." Why??

    Thanks for the great suggestion. I should have mentioned that I have TextEdit and Mail both set to Rich Text. Now -- even more -- you can see why this situation is such a mystery.

    Text looks different in "Mail" and "TextEdit." Why??

    When I use Lucida Grande, size 12, in TextEdit, and when I underline any text, the underline itself is "blurry" (which drives me nuts). But if I copy and paste that same text into Mail.app (same font), the underlines are clean and sharp! (See attached screenshots.) I'm assuming this has...
