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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm looking for a full-sized version of the applications icon that appears in the toolbar (sans folder). Screenshot of small, toolbar version attached. Any ? Thanks.

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...

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...

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...

This question may be technically OT (and I'm not really a Unix or X11 guy), but I figured this might be the best place to ask this question: Can anybody tell me why people insist on using the "_" character in file names? Tons of people -- from software developers to the average guy who takes...

In the menu that shows your bookmark folders, when adding a new bookmark, I've always wished that the folders were further indented than they are. My list is pretty long, and the current, "shallow" indentation level is difficult to follow. (See my "before" and "after" shots, attached. Of course...

I've got app that draws its menu extra icon too high in the menu bar, so I want to adjust it. I've done this kind of thing before, and I usually find the icons by showing the apps package contents. But I've already combed through this one's package contents, and can't find the menu extra icons...

I've got some podcasts in iTunes that I want to save because they're actually chapters of an audio book. But in the Description field, there are some typos I'd like to correct, and iTunes doesn't provide for editing of that particular field. I downloaded a few ID3 editors, thinking they might...

When I attempt to click the checkbox in the Get Info window, it "checks" then immediately "unchecks." Yet, the "Locked" checkbox works normally. Can anyone else confirm this bug?

Where are favicons kept? Is there a file I can toss that will force Safari to reload them (even if it's one at at a time)? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

...so they're all blue again, instead of gray? -M

This isn't life-or-death, but it's bugging the stew out of me: I've always liked the silver, "spring"-type web-link icons, but when I switched to OS X a couple of years ago, I never got them! (There may have been one in the dock, at first, but I immediately got rid of most items in the...

This is driving me up a wall: When you create a new folder on the desktop, it appears with the name "untitled folder," highlighted and ready for you to type in its new name. And typically, it will *sit* there, quietly, until you type the new name and hit Return/Enter. But on my PowerBook, for...

Hey, folks, This is new behavior (circa OS X 10.3): I often drag URLs from Safari's Address Bar to the desktop to create clickable webloc files. And in the past, they were named automaticall -- with the ".webloc" extension *hidden*. But now -- even though I have "Show All Finder...

In OS 9, I used to use tildes (~) at the beginning of a file name to force that document to the bottom of an alphabetical list. I believe the bullet (•) did the same thing. But in OS X, most of these characters now fall *before* the letter, A, which has ruined the scheme. Where can I find a...
