    Question about iWork spellchecking

    Hi all, I'm currently using iWork '08 and noticed that the spell checking therein does not behave analog to other apps (e.g. TextEdit, Mail, etc.), which leads me to believe that Apple didn't use the 'standard' spellchecking feature found in OS X. One major drawback for myself is that the...

    Erratic Exposé in Leopard?

    ... it *appears* as if Mail.app is the culprit. When I leave that open the behaviour described above occurs - but when I close it (and leave everything else as it was) it doesn't. Or at least, hasn't yet ... I'll keep an eye on this ... Cheers, C

    Erratic Exposé in Leopard?

    Hi Forum, Long time no post ... but here we go: I've just upgraded to Leopard on my 17" PowerBook - generally great, but I've noticed some erratic behaviour of Exposé. I haven't been able to narrow it down to a reproducible procedure yet, but if I figure one out I'll post it here...

    Imovie Audio

    Hey there, I'm also experiencing this problem - but with iMovie 5.0 on 10.4.5 :( Did you ever resolve the issue? Reading this post, I figure I might try to *first* extract the audio *then* add the title ... perhaps that might work. Sucks, though - as I'll have to redo the entire 50min video I...

    Can't open Accounts in System Preferences

    Well, at least that worked out quick :) I was just going to post over on the Apple support Discussions, and happened to find a thread which looked promising: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@61.E9adaW7ZRNB.1@.68b71268 At first I thought it wasn't going to work, because I'd...

    Can't open Accounts in System Preferences

    ... I'm not having a good time of it at the moment :( I'm currently not able to open the Accounts in the System Preferences. In the Console I see this: 2005-09-10 09:07:53.387 System Preferences[1184] *** NSRunLoop ignoring exception '*** -[NSCFString replaceCharactersInRange:withString:]...

    Command-Tab = Screen Freeze (occasionally)

    Hrm. Had another freeze today. The mouse was still working, but nothing would respond. This time I couldn't even remote logon to the computer - even though the service was running. (I'd successfully connected prior to the freeze). This happened after I'd opened iTunes 5 for the first time...

    Command-Tab = Screen Freeze (occasionally)

    Hi there, I've had this problem since Tiger - occasionally the screen will freeze in the middle of a Command-Tab (switching to other application). Its not tooooo bad when I'm connected to a network, because I can fix it be relaunching Finder by killing it from the command line (unless I've...

    Automator sendin email (its not sending)

    Hi there, I'm trying to configure a workflow to send an item via email. I've managed to get the item selected and put it in a new email, but it just won't send it. Automator opens Mail, creates a new message, adds the file ... and then ... nothing. I've done a test workflow which just grabs...

    Cleaning ambiant light sensor in 15" PB?

    Hey there, I've noticed in the last few months that in low light conditions the ambiant light sensor in my 15" PB just can't seem to quite make its mind up. This is really annoying, as it produces a kind of flickering on the screen. I'm currently toying with the idea of taking a vacuum...

    G4 Powerbook Screen Brightness

    I fail to see the Lalalla factor myself ;) ... I merely conceded the point that I, too, wasn't *exactly* comparing apples with apples. I stand firm on all other points :) Cheers, C

    G4 Powerbook Screen Brightness

    As seen in a recent Register article: <snip> The 15.2in screen is distinctly brighter than previous models and very crisp. </snip> I stand corrected - the new 15" AluBooks must have a different display. However, I still stand fast on the issue - my screen has dimmed - but just maybe not as...

    G4 Powerbook Screen Brightness

    This isn't the first notebook I've owned either (I've been using notebooks since 1986ish ... my first computer was an Amstrad 640dd notebook ;)) - but it is the first one where the screen has dimmed so drastically in such a short period of time. I don't recall having this problem with either my...
