    Take 2 unreliable

    I've updated to Take 2 twice, and both times I've restored my TV to the original software. Both times it's had the same problem, after the iTunes update I tried again thinking that would be the problem, it didn't help. Audio stops and stutters, and 3 times the whole thing has frozen...

    Parallels and Leopard, no taskbar

    Anyone encounter this? The taskbar is there in convergence mode, but just missing in full screen or windowed mode. Everything works all right, but you can't see the taskbar, or click on anything that should be there. Was working fine under Tiger. Very annoying. I'm running (well, actually my...

    Access Control Lists and Leopard problem

    So under Tiger I used Access Control Lists to share iTunes, iPhoto and iBank between my wife's account and mine (we could both add songs, edit pictures, enter transactions, etc and the other person would also have the same changes when they opened the program later). To do so I put all the...

    VMware Fusion suspend problem

    So I installed the trial of Fusion. Liking it so far, but one thing isn't working that I thought would be. I installed a boot camp partition and then had Fusion look to that when I installed Fusion. But I can't suspend my session when I launch Fusion. Is this because it's using the Boot Camp...

    Partitioning new HD with Leopard in mind

    So we have a new iMac on the way. When it gets here I'll be partitioning the HD for boot camp anyway (setting aside 40GB for that). I'm thinking it might be smart to partition the rest of the HD to separate the OS from the rest of my files because it's a sure thing I'll want to do a new install...

    Color profiles and multiple users

    So I recently made a color profile for my monitor. Never did it before, it looks great. When I saved I made it so all users can use it. I can select it on my account, my wife on hers. However, when we fast user switch both get set to the generic sRGB profile and when you click on any other...

    Opinion: Mac Mini vs iMac?

    So in the nearish future I hope to upgrade from my iBook G4 to a desktop. My dad just got a 2.4GHz iMac, and it was very impressive. I'm trying to decide between that, or a Mac mini. I liked the new keyboard but also love mine, and my 19" LCD monitor is perfectly acceptable. The issue is in...

    iMovie (or maybe iWeb) video frame question

    So when I make a movie in iMovie and post it to my site with iWeb I have one simple thing that I'd like to do, but I can't figure out how. A lot of our videos start with a black screen and then fade in a title of the event or whatever. When I post those in iMovie the thumbnail that people click...

    Safari no longer displaying new RSS

    So I have a folder of RSS feeds in my Bookmarks bar. It used to have a number pop up next to it when one of the links inside had a new entry. It no longer does this, and I don't recall when the behavior changed. I surely didn't change any settings in Safari, but maybe a software update or...

    iPhoto broken after iLife '06 install. Permissions?

    So I just upgraded to iLife '06. Everything seems to work fine except iPhoto. It loads up, says I have to upgrade the library and then eventually gives me an error message saying that I need to have read/write permissions for everything in the iPhoto Library and gives me some instructions on how...

    How to hide imap servers in Tiger Mail.app?

    So I had an IMAP server on mail.app when I was using Panther. When I upgraded to Tiger I had no problems with it. I have recently added a second IMAP account, but for whatever reason Tiger treats this one differently and it annoys me. See the attached screenshot to make things most clear...

    Firewire acting very slow

    So I recently had a major meltdown and had to reinstall my OS. The relevant part of my setup is that my Music and Photos are stored on my older G4 (hereby server) and the relevant libraries and .xml and whatnot symlinked. I connect my iBook to the server with IP over firewire and plug my iPod...

    Worst crash I've ever had... worst crash you can possibly have

    I really don't think there's anything that can be done, but I need to share my horror anyway. Maybe it will serve as a warning to others. Tonight I lost everything. I plug a monitor, keyboard etc into my iBook and use it as my main computer. I unplugged it to take it downstairs and listen to...

    Background won't stay changed in iChat

    I like having a colored background to my chat windows in iChat. So I drag a solid color .png onto the window. I try this in the preferences window (where you can set the fonts, bubble colors, etc) but it doesn't stick for new windows, and once I quit and restart iChat it's gone all together. Any...

    iBook bottom pads

    Sorry if that that subject makes little sense. I shall explain. My biggest beef with Apple laptops is the rubber feet on the bottom to keep things from getting scratched up. My Pismo Powerbook had them all fall off after a few months, I think the heat makes the glue less sticky or something. At...

    replacing line in iTunes Music Library.xml via perl

    So in brief here's the situation: I have my Mp3s on my tower. I have iTunes on my laptop pointed to that shared network directory. I have symbolic links to itunes Music Library.xml and iTunes 4 Music Library on both my iBook and my tower. The point being that playlists and whatnot made on the...

    Initial WiTunes thoughts

    So I'm trying out iTunes for Windows (hereby dubbed WiTunes) at work, and it sure seems familiar, but a few things have jumped out at me right away: 1st, I can't connect to the ITMS due to our firewall. It is all just web based and sent over port 80 I suspect, but I don't see any way in the...

    Stock market doesn't seem to like new iTunes

    Apple's stock is down something like 6% last I checked. I was surprised, I thought that with the annoucement all those pundits who thought Apple was foolish for not making products for Windows would be buying it up. Haven't seen any commentary on why it's taking a hit. Any ideas?
