I have been trying to learn more about Preview and using the online tutorials found scattered about (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBWWCYx8HYE ). My Preview does not seem to work like the tutorial examples. When I have a JPEG or PNG open and try to use the 'smart lasso' tool, it will outline...

Never mind....solved the problem with "Liteicon" program.

I am playing with my Dock icons and downloaded some nice 3D's. When I tried to change the Finder icon, (used copy paste of the new icon to the Finder in system/library/core services/finder) it worked for the icon (in the folder) but will not change in the dock. I have relaunched the Finder...

Thank you for the detailed, in depth response. I had already deleted 'it' and the IP code still remains in the Terminal window. I don't know if it really makes any difference, I am not on a network, but would like to get it right. Here is what is now in the local hostname box when I go to Edit...

Randy-Thanks for the answers. I will look at Clix..... ElDiabloConCaca-No, not the double-quotes encapsulating the computer name... the possessive, single quote between "McCleary" and "s".-I again apologize for my ignorance...burt I am not sure what you are saying here. Thanks

Sorry for being so ignorant of terminal, the " " in the above were mine. Here is what the Sharing gives as the name: Glen McCleary’s iMac. Also message under the window states: Computers on your local network can access your computer at: glen-mcclearys-imac.local Did not want to confuse...

I checked the sharing prefs and the computer name is set as "my name's" iMac. That is what I thought was supposed to be in terminal. Glen

ElDiabloConCaca, That is exactly what it is. I checked my network settings. How would that get into the computer name settings, since my understanding is that Terminal is not dependent upon any internet functions to apply? Thanks....

Sorry, forgot to ask again........would you be able to answer my first question about why I have all those numbers in front of my name as below: 68-187-201-214:~ glenmccleary$ Thank you, Glen

g/re/p Thanks for the beginners tutorials. I will read them. Glen

I am brand new to Terminal and trying to learn it. I have read OS manual and learning slowly but have 2 questions: 1) When I open my Terminal app, instead of stating my computer name, it has a number: __-___-___-___:, then ~user$. Why is there a number instead of a name? 2) When do you...

I have noticed on some of the Mac videos on utube etc. that there are 2 effects that I am curious about but can't seem to find them. 1) An expanding ring around the the cursor of diff colors (kinda like a water drop) when clicking. (Not part of iCursor) 2) A rotating desktop cube effect when...

Deltamac, Thanks again for the help. I checked the program and the Rosetta box is not checked. I was hoping....... I appreciate the help.....was hoping to find a way to make it snappy as was the program in safe boot. Oh well....its still works fine just slow on initial use. Have a...

I downloaded the update and installed it and it still takes about 11-12 seconds to open the graphics box on the first opening. After I open it the first time, then it will open up fine. Same thing happens with the borders, not the picture frames. The color palette seems ok. I opened the...

Deltamac, Thanks.....I had emailed and asked 3 days ago if there was an update and they told me that the v.2.0.7.1 was the latest. I will go back online and check/download the newer version. Either it just came out or I got poor tech support. Thanks, Glen

I know this is not an Apple software but I am curious if anyone has any experience with the Print Shop 2 on Snow Leopard. I bought and installed the latest, supposedly SL compatible version because my old v1 would not work on SL. I like PS alot and installed the graphics also since I had room...

Thank you.

I am relearning much from not keeping up with the latest for years and have a question. I know my new iMac will burn DVD/CD's. What is the advantage or necessity to have a software program like Toast, if I can do it already with installed software? I would not be mass producing. Thank you...

Appreciate it.

In user/library/pubsub/feeds: the Feeds folder contains a gazillion items and I am not sure what they are. I am also not clear on the definition of the pubsub folder and what feeds are. Is it some sort of cache that I can get rid of on a routine basis? I am one to keep things clean and know...
