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...

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...

... 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:]...

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...

Hi there, Does anyone know of a good document or web site which has a reference for the spotlight vocabulary? Cheers, C

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...

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...

Hey all, Does anyone know what component happens to be under the trackpad on the 15" PowerBook 1.5Ghz? In the last month or so there's be a noise of something that spins coming from there. Not overly loud, but a wee bit irritating non the less, coz it was silent before. I'm thinking its the...

Hey all, Does anyone have any info / heard any rumours on how long we'll have to wait for JDK 1.5 on OS X? Cheers, C

Hey there, I've got a USB stick which works fine for most of the time - but twice now its caused a kernel panic when trying to read data from it. I *think* in both cases it happened when I inserted the USB stick very soon after having woken my PB (15" X 10.3.5); so perhaps I'll just have to...

Hey y'all, Got the ADC newsletter this morning - and its got a link to a Java 1.4.2 update which was posted on the 17/05/2004 (or 05/17/2004 for you americans out there :)) - what gives? I've already got 1.4.2 installed. I'm not going to install it now - but have any of you tried this? or has...

Hey there, Since beginning of the week my PB battery's gone a bit doo-lally! When charging it started showing it would take 9:30 hrs to finish charging, then when it thought it was charged and I removed the AC, it would say it was going to run for 9hrs! (Would be nice, eh?) It would then go...

Hey there, Don't know if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find any relevant threads ... anyway - I was wondering if any of you have come up with a neat solution of how to back an NSArrayController with a database (I'm thinking of either MySQL or PostgreSQL). I've seen a few...

Hey y'all, I'm considering getting Virtual PC 6.1 for my 12"PB so that I can run some of the Windows-Only software used in the company I'm currently working for. Its either that or buy a WinTel notebook (yeuch). But in one review I read recently it said that VPC 6.1 performs really badly...

Hey there, After just having upgraded to Panther, I was very disappointed to find that one of my favorite features is now faulty ... from Finder, go to the Finder menu, then Services, then Mail, then Send File. In Jaguar, this opened Mail, then popped open a new message and adds the file as...

Hey there, Just wondering if anyone else has a PB12", has upgraded to Panther (i.e. not bought it with Panther already on there) and has noticed that the processor fan is used a hell of a lot more??? Or is it just me. :) Cheers, C

Hey there, I did a quick search on the forums, but to no avail. My problem is this: if I eMail an event (appointment) from my iCal to my wife, and then she double clicks on it, iCal *does* pop open, but then fails to add the event to her calendar. I've also tried it the other way around and...

Hey there, I'm trying to get a VPN set up between the company I work for and my home network. Now I've got it running with a direct connection to my DSL modem, but want to get it working when its running behind my AirPort. Hence I need to open up some ports to the system which will be...

OK - this SUCKS! I just called the Apple Store in Germany, and the very unpleasant lady on the other end of the line told me that I couldn't order 10.3 in Intl. English from them. ?????? I've bought two systems in Intl. English from them and also 10.2 in that variant. DAMN IT! I've sent an email...
