iWork '13 has just been updated Apple has issued the first update to its unpopular update to the iWork suite for Maverick. Users have been flooding Apple's Pages forums with complaints about the over 90 features that were removed from Pages alone. Simultaneously Apple removed ALL the...

My 2 really big objections to the Mac App Store and now Apple's Subscriptions is the hefty markup on non-USA customers. Even for material sourced from the user's own country/currency zone. It is just bits & bytes from servers located anywhere. So is purely discriminatory. If Apple makes...

Given that Apple was allowed by the Anti-trust busters, should it buy out Microsoft and what should it do with it? Financially it is feasible, and could be managed with Apple's and Microsoft's cash reserves. Given Microsoft's poor management and flat earnings, there would be plenty of room...

Does everyone feel that the convenience of the upcoming Mac App Store outweighs the concerns of Apple having almost total control over what you have on your Mac? http://www.macworld.com/article/155120/2010/10/mac_app_store_devil_in_the_details.html

I have an iMac 24" 28Ghz (1Mac,8.1) and want to connect a second palette monitor to the mini DVI port, using a mini DVI to VGA connector. Search Apple's forums shows issues with cursor jumping and wrong resolutions. I really want to run my Adobe CS4 suite with the tabbed palettes on the...

I think on this a lot. This question came up again for me today when I was in my favorite bookshop, reading all those expensive graphics books I have finally trained myself not to buy. :) Having no more room to shelve them. 3 of the books dealt with current print production and as usual...

We have 7 Macs in this house and an Airport Extreme. I'd like to share our common media from the the Airport Extreme, starting with the music and possibly also photos, movies and podcasts. The media is all personal and not from the iTunes store so therefore does not have any DRM on it...

Please, just one? I'd even settle for maybe half a reason. "It's a smaller install" - You get to download what they didn't install. "It got rid of all the old bugs in Leopard" - Nah still there, with some new ones as bonuses. "All those improvements" - Crippled QuickTime? "Fixed the bug in...

How do you use iWeb to create a website that isn't hosted on mobileMe?

I have 7 Macs and do not want to individually auto-update with large DL files. I know you can DL updates from Apple's Downloads site, but some files are not there. Specifically the latest Security Update 2009-005, which I have used to update 1 Mac. I'd like to grab the installer and...

Given where Apple is heading with both hardware and software, the question arises is Apple giving its old core supporter base the shove? I base this on: 1. Hardware Apple has only one monitor screen left that can be set to a suitable level for pre-press illumination, the rather expensive Apple...

What do you think her chances are, and is this a sign that the Republicans have nobody to aspire to the top so they are going for someone who can pitch for the bottom?

I just found out the true meaning of Apple's Genius Bar, when security wouldn't let me on the premises!

Has anyone managed to color balance their new Aluminium iMacs to pre-press standards? Any tips and how-tos?

… Well, what are you looking at?

I have just purchased an external Western Digital My Book Pro II which consists of 2 x 750Gb drives and a RAID card. The ports are USB2, FW400 and FW800. The software supplied by WD allows for formatting to RAID 0 and RAID 1 with no provision for Linear/Concatenated. Disk Utility does let me...

I am looking at setting up a low maintenance and low cost site for my design business. At this stage I am not ready to put the time and money into a dedicated site with my own domain. After I saw a portfolio of a rather good UK design firm which used a .mac gallery as part of its main site, I...

I upgraded my iMac G5 iMac 2.0Ghz (standard with 1.5Gb RAM) to Leopard 10.5.2 via the original installer DVD (OSX 10.4) and a Leopard upgrade DVD. I backed up the internal HD to an external FW drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, then wiped my internal drive, which had been partitioned into 3...

A local dealer is offering the Western Digital My Book Pro II 1.5 Terabyte dual harddrive with USB2 FW400 & FW800, at an exceptional price. Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with this or similar drives from WD? If I use the built in RAID set to be redundant will that give me...
