The problem is usually related to Flash. If you click inside a Flash animation or play a Flash video, especially full screen, and then hit cmd-w, Safari will ask if you want to close the current window.

It could be that Spotlight was (or is) busy indexing. Searching Entire Messages doesn't work while Spotlight is indexing. Sometimes Mail.app will get confused though, if Spotlight was indexing when you launched Mail.app, and won't let you search until you've quit and relaunched Mail.app. By the...

There are a couple of addons for Firefox that can do this. The ones I use are "pdfit!" and "Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic".

How about this: http://isis.astrogeology.usgs.gov/Isis2/isis-bin//pdfs2.cgi?dform

Hah! It's the sticky keys! When you press down on the shift key several times in a row, it'll activate "Sticky keys". That means you can use keyboard shortcuts by pressing keys in sequence, you don't have to press them all simultaneously. Check the Accessibility for your keyboard settings in...

Also, for Java 6 you need a 64-bit CPU, so only desktop models work, no laptops.

Try using the actual IP-number in the address, that might help. You could also enable "Bonjour" on the bookmark field, and see if your NAS turns up there.

This page shows how to use a PC to allow a PDA to access the internet via Bluetooth. It should work if you just substitute the iPaq for your Mac... http://www.tweaks2k2.com/How_to/bluetooth_network.htm (@natobasso: it's the PC that has WiFi, the Mac only has BT, read the first post...)

You can also use the Keychain Manager to store protected notes. That's what I do to store important information that I don't want others to have access to.

Om the other hand, there's a much cheaper way to check your images. In Photoshop you have the option of "previewing" your image for different color profiles. One of them is "Windows RGB", and it'll show you what your image will look like on a PC. Check the View menu and choose "Windows RGB" in...

OS X is multi-lingual. You can choose language during installation, and also change it afterwards with no ill side effects.

@natobasso: maybe you should try to read the headline again... As far as I know there are no free applications, though a few open source projects are still active (ISIP, Julius, HTK and Sphinx to name a few). MacSpeech is probably the best available application right now, but it's $199...

The lexical meaning of the verb "prune" is to get rid of surplus. If you had bothered to check the menus you wold've found it in File->Play Cue->Prune. Just below "Clear" and above "Scramble". So, it probably removes dupliccates or missing files from a Play Cue.

You can also use Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator will only allow you to work on a single page, so if you have a multipage document you need to save the result with a new file name. Then you can use Preview to remove the original page from your original document, and insert the...

As for Ara Abrahamian; he is not a weight lifter, he is a wrestler. Bad sportsmanship? I disagree. He didn't throw away his medal, he gently placed it in the middle of the wrestling mat before quietly walking away. This was his way of protesting against being wrongfully disqualified in...

Check your color settings in your Adobe applications too. Check which working color space you are using, and what the applications are supposed to do when documents lack profiles or when profiles don't match your working profile.

How about reading glasses? And if you already wear glasses, how about switching to bifocals or – as I did a year ago – progressive glasses? And don't kid yourself about age. Everyone will suffer some eye problems as soon as they get closer to 40, the lens gets harder and won't change shape...

My comment was aimed at Mikuro, not you. He was the one that said there wasn't a standard shortcut. Anyway, Mikuro's advice would've done the trick if you'd bothered to try it. Better than wasting $10.

EDCC, maybe you should read the original post... she clearly states that she's using "hotel/motel/free computers", not her own Mac. Apparently she thinks that MobileMe doesn't work with Internet Explorer. It might be that MobileMe doesn't work with older versions of Internet Explorer, but you...

FYI: There is a standard keyboard shortcut that doesn't use the power button: Command+option+eject. Other than that, great answer Mikuro, short and to the point!
