I bought a Canon Powershot A80 and when I hook it to my powerbook, I can't see the compact flash mounted in the finder as happens with my a cybershot p-92 and a memory stick.. Is there any way of mounting it without a CF reader? Thanks in advance,

It's probably no news for most of you, but I just discovered Path Finder. It's an excellent evolution of the Finder. My favorite is the evolution the column display ! www.cocoatech.com See below for my favorite evolution.

So I built my first Java app in Xcode (a number guessing game - just to get used to the class libraries) and compiled it into a jar file. Well, the programs works great from the Terminal using $ java -jar AppName.jar but if I double-click it from the Finder, it doesn't launch. However, java...

has anybody an idea why NFS is so slow in OS X if you copy something with Finder ... and if u stick to the commandline it's ok i mounted nfs with the following parameters server:share /mnt nfs -i,-w=8192,-s,-a=4,-3,-T,-b,-P,-g=32,nodev,-d,noatime,-r=8192,-I=8192 0 0 works fine...

Good Set of Rumours on Apple Insider. The two issues I have are any suggestion of WebKit in Finder. The Finder is for Finding and Managing Files. Not for Web browsing. The other is the increasing reliance on .Mac. If the profitability of .Mac is failing due to lack-of-interest, it's not going...

recently my finder has been giving me problems; sometimes when I open a file it slows down & the rice grain loading wheel comes up. internet connection issues as well as a file sharing program keeps shutting down. I have tried to clear all caches & browsers as well as repair my disk permissions...

Hello! Yesterday i was running the Program Update as i do maybe once a month.. I updated Quickt Time and 2 safety updates. After that i was told to restart the computer and so i did. When computer started up again the only thing on the Desktop was the Dock with several programs. I discovered...

Ok I have about 5000 JPEGs on my hard disk, almost all of them have generic icons. I'm sick and tired of waiting forever for Finder to create previews just to have the preview cache erased when I reboot. I'm looking for a utility that will take all the files in my ~/Images/ folder and...

I recently reinstalled Panther and when I go to Network I see the Linux server in my network, but when I connect to this server it displays the share select prompt and subsequently creates a new mount for the share instead of letting me browse it under the Network tree. This didn't happen...

Although I hate to use an analogy to windows... the start menu key + R presents a very nice dialogue through which you can run any DOS command. (perhaps the only convenient feature i've found yet.) Yes you can run a command from within terminal, but it's not very convenient to be in that...

... can it be done, and if so how? I'm sure that it was possible to print a folders contents in the list view on OS9. Is this still possible with OSx from the GUI Ta

Seems I can't make aliases and put them in the sidebar. If I do they lose their alias name and icon. I have some folders in the Apache webserver that are named very 'functionally' and I'd like to put them in the sidebar, but the names are so 'functional' I have a hard time telling which is...

I'm sorry that I am again posting in the FAQ thread, I read a message saying I shouldnt post questions here AFTER i posted this . . . and can only find out how to edit not delete. On my friend's iBook, an option appears in the Finder menu to "Quit Finder", therefore freeing up more RAM for...

I'd like to be able to customize (add more features) the Contextual Menus in the Finder. Is there an easy way to do this by not writing a special program/application to do this? The reason I'm asking is because, a while ago, I downloaded a set up AppleScripts that would ZIP or TAR a file, or...

Hi, i just got a used ibook 700mhz with 10.3 installed. I created a new account and set japanese as the first language, english as my second, under international settings. There is nothing under the 'scripts' section in the same window... the problem is that when i log out and log in again...

Well, I'm not sure how I got myself into this, but if I double-click on my Mac HD icon, a finder window that is too big opens up. By "too big" I mean that the bottom edge of the window runs all the way below the bottom of the screen. I've clicked on the top title bar & pulled it up as far as I...

I have a major problem... Everything was running fine until I tried to move some mp3s from the desktop tonight. Then, the Finder went ballistic on me on both of my harddrives. I can essentially only run safari and a few other programs in my dock. I'm running 10.3.2. I loaded the OS on both...

Hi all, Quick question here...what are those small icons in the bottom left hand corner of the finder windows (panther)? One looks like four small squares, and the other looks like a pencil with a line through it. I've searched all over and can't seem to find a good referenfce. Thanks...
