1. WindowShade X - it's the one feature I truly miss from 9<. I don't even miss SPring Loaded Folders anyomore. The great feature set of OS X makes SLF obsolete for me. 2. iSwipe (www.hillmanminx.com) for file sharing through multiple services (the Auto Search feature is great) 3...

If you're on an OS X machine, boot over to OS 9 and make sure Spring Loaded folders is "enabled". It think it is in the Control Panels (on Apple Menu) General, if I can remember correctly. It might be "on" by default. Then, hold a file over your hard drive on the desktop. Don't let go...

the power button is on the back with all the connectors/ports unusual place for apple to put it, but I think with OS X they basically want you to power it up and leave it up - just putting it to sleep instead of powering off...

I'm not sure what you mean here, can you explain? I've added and deleted fonts numerous fonts without problems. Are you saying that you can't add a font by dragging and dropping that font file into an OPEN Font folder? But oyu have to drag it onto the closed Font Folder icon...? This...

I don;t know if this would have anything to do with it, but iTunes is a Carbon app set to run on both OS 9 and OS X. iPhoto is OS X only.

I was confused at first, as well. But then I realized it works just like iTunes. If you are looking at a list of songs in a Playlist and you delete one, it doesn;t delete the file, it just deletes the song from the playlist. But if you're in your Library, and you hit delete, it deletes the...

I wholeheartedly agree - this is going to be some difficult times for longtime Mac users. Although it took some time, I actually enjoyed the move from OS 9 to OS X. It was even a little confusing, at the start, going from the Mac based file structure to the new OS X structure (Library...

to B4tn, tt's not a feature, so much as it's just for fun. Sometimes the question isn't "Why?", but rather "Why not?" Most computer manufacturers manufacture computers. And then there are those that create them.

Here's what I've found out in playing around: 1. It's set up to work like iTunes. ALL of your photos/music are available in your Library. Just as you do not import into a playlist in iTunes, you do not import to an Album in iPhoto. When you import, the photos are added to your Library. If...

This is the Mac OS X feedback page: http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ Although, now that solrac has pointed out that a similar situation exists in the opposite direction, it behooves Apple to figure out some fix for hidding files in both directions in order to always stay one step...

I absolutely, positively refuse to accept a REFRESH button in a Mac OS! I despise the REFRESH command in Windows ! Mac OS does not need a refresh command, it just needs to update automatically like it always has. That's what separates Apples from Wintels - attention to detail. I've...

It's a shareware for $12.00 X Font Manager Has some nice features. Sounds like what you might be looking for. Hope it works!

There's a shareware I downloaded recently (I can't remember the name), that allowed you to Enable and Disable fonts throughout the system (even Classic). It has some really nice features, and it's inexpensive. WHen i get to my OS X box, I'll look it up and post additional info. The...

I use Mail and have no problems with it (other than others not being able to sometimes view my attachments). Entourage is feature laden to the gills, just as every M$ product is. SO, if oyu need all those features, you need Entourage. I'm more than satisfied for my needs with AppleWorks...

The first time I installed it, it didn;t work at all. In fact, my DSL connection seemed SLOWER! So, I removed it. A few days later, I figured what the hell, and reinstalled. This time it worked great. I have a 640/160 ADSL connection. I've tested my system and have seen the down test...

I'm not sure if this helps with what you're trying to get at, but: The default behavior in Mac OS is to MOVE, not COPY.

I can't say much about the browser thing other than at work I have a Wintel box and it is much faster on the web than my home Cube. But in regards to Mail, I think the reason that Apple included it was because it was, for the most part, already there. It was basically brought up to speed for...

I've noticed that railheaddesign has been pretty accurate on it's 'advanced knowledge'. It's not a rumour site, though, so tidbits about upcoming software/hardware come in dribs & drabs. Even the humour site As The Apple Turns , seems to have a better record at the accuracy of its fortune...

Thanks for your help everyone! My DSl is up and running! Stalling has stopped (for the most part). Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday! pb
