Hi, Does anyone have an experience monitoring stats of external HDs, connected over firewire or USB? I was hoping someone knew of an app, or a built in feature of OS X that could allow me to do so. I just removed the noisy, built-in fan of one of my external HD enclosures and thought it...

I've never seen this before on any of my Macs, and was wondering if someone knew what's up. Basically, if I leave my Mac idle for a long time (3+ hours), when i go to use it again it's very, very slow. I'm pretty sure this is not an energy saver issue, I have sleep, disk sleep, and everything...

Hi, Some of you might have seen this kind of search box on other sites before, but I think I first saw it on Facebook. As you can see, in Safari only (to my knowledge, at least) you will get a nice rounded search box, plus history if you click the down arrow. Also, you get a little "x" on...

Is anyone aware of a way to increase the dock's autohide speed? Maybe a terminal command? An app? I've tried searching all over the place, so I thought I would ask here as a last resort. Thanks.

Hey. I was thinking, would it be at all possible to make the menu bar on my ibook smaller in size? Obviously there is no built-in option, but do any of you know if there is a "hack" out there, or maybe a theme that specifically does that. Since the current iBooks only go up to 1024x768 it...

Hey, This morning when I booted my iBook the Apple menu bar items (airport, date/time, spotlight) failed to load. Although, my 2 third party menu items loaded fine (synergy and my little calendar app). I ran the maintenance commands in Onyx, rebooted but still no luck. I should also note that...

Hello, I'm wondering if there is any way to allow my Macally BT mouse to automatically connect after I reboot my iBook? So far I have to re-set it up everytime. Any ideas?

http://gui.interacto.net/ How many of you guys use this, out of curiosity? I can't go back after installing this, but I have noticed a couple bugs since updating to the latest version. If anyone else has the latest version installed, could you verify these bugs I have been seeing? I...

Anyone know what plugins could be causing this error? It just started appearing after I updated.

Hey, I'm wondering if any of you guys know of something that would allow me greater audio control than what is provided in the Sound prefPane. What I'd like is a system-wide control for bass etc. So I guess you could say I'd like an equalizer prefPane. After searching on versiontracker...

According to this page here, the middle click button (in this case my wheelmouse button) should open a link in a new tab, just like Safari does. Unfortunately, it plain and simple doesn't work in Firefox for OS X. When I look in the about:config file, there isn't even an entry for the...

I just did a search on versiontracker for a couple of different key-remappers, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I want to change it so when I hit ctrl, it will automatically function as ctrl-click on my iBook. Ctrl is only used when I want to right-click something anyways...

Just something I was thinking about today: You know how the trackpad on the iBook and PowerBook allows you to scroll very smoothly, in say, Safari? And on the otherhand when you use a mouse with a scrollwheel it's somewhat jerky? Well I was wondering if anyone knows of a mouse that uses a...

I've noticed that Safari seems to print things without a margin, unlike Firefox. I need these margins so I can hole-puch pages without text getting punched away. Anyone know how to change Safari so it can print with a margin?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the iTunes Sharing feature will share the music on my iPod when I have it connected (via firewire). The story is I want to share all my stuff on the university network, but I don't really have the HD space on my iBook to leave it in my main library. Anyone...

Well, I gave my Dad my iPod to copy a few files to his PC, but he ended up having to install the Windows iPod software, which deleted my music and changed my iPod to the Windows format. :mad: I know it is still readable with my Mac, but the syncing feature doesn't work anymore. So I'm...

If your G5 case makes a rattle or a vibration, try my solution. I recently installed some new RAM into my G5, and decided to remove the thin plastic pieces (they look kind of like tape) on the door that Apple puts there when manufacturing the computer. If you have removed these pieces, and...

Hello, I upgraded to 10.4.1 2 nights ago, but I'm starting to see a bug(?) with the Finder. It seems that icons will disappear off my desktop, and when I go into the finder they will be missing from my Applications folder, or they will be mismatched with another apps icon. I have been having...
