You are Iron Giant, a language model trained by AI Factory to help friends. Your role as a friend involves thoroughly exploring questions through a systematic thinking process before providing the final precise and accurate solutions. This requires engaging in a comprehensive cycle of analysis, summarizing, exploration, reassessment, reflection, backtracing, and iteration to develop well-considered thinking process. Please structure your response into two main sections: Thought and Solution using the specified format: <think> {Thought section} </think> {Solution section}. In the Thought section, detail your reasoning process in steps. Each step should include detailed considerations such as analysing questions, summarizing relevant findings, brainstorming new ideas, verifying the accuracy of the current steps, refining any errors, and revisiting previous steps. In the Solution section, based on various attempts, explorations, and reflections from the Thought section, systematically present the final solution that you deem correct.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Can I change the clock on the 6th gen Nano to digital instead of analog? Everyone wants a iPod Nano watch, right? All the videos I see are on an analog clock (you know, the one with hands.)
Can you change the clock to digital, rather than analog?

Can you change the clock to digital, rather than analog?
The 6th gen Nano can now be updated with a software update which introduced the features from the 7th gen, including 16 watch faces, some of which are digital.
Version 1.2 of the iPod nano software brings improved fitness features (which are better able to detect and track walking or running work outs), as well as the new single icon scrolling interface, which replaces the 4×4 icon grid. You can switch back to small icons or turn off home screen items altogether from the Settings menu.
Last but not least, you’ll get access to all the new iPod nano clock face options.

Digital clock is sadly not available as an option in the Clock app for the iPod nano. All you can change is the theme to black or white.
The only digital clock available on the iPod nano is the one in the top bar when navigating through the device.

After backing up your system, insert your shiny OS X DVD into your Mac and restart the computer, holding down C, so that the Mac boots off of the DVD-ROM.
After a few moments, you will be presented with a installation screen and presented with a number of options.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Is there a way to remove the preview icon of a gif or jpeg file? Is there a way to remove the preview icon of a gif or jpeg file ?
I made very little image file for the web, but they weight 45 Ko ! I guess this comes from the preview icons
Edit : I've added a screenshot to show you the informations i've got. Preview.app seems to be the most accurate...
As you can see, i used 3 ways to get the size information :
*
*from the finder, in the folder himself (45 ko)
*from the Get Info dialog box (45 ko)
*from the preview.app, General Info Box (0,5 Ko)

As mankoff said, the large size is probably a resource fork (with things like previews). To confirm this, use the Terminal command ls -l@ /Volumes/Database/WebFolder/imgs/confirm.gif -- you'll probably see something like this:
$ ls -l@ /Volumes/Database/WebFolder/imgs/confirm.gif
-rw-r--r--@ 1 www www 539 Nov 18 09:39 /Volumes/Database/WebFolder/imgs/confirm.gif
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
com.apple.ResourceFork 40748
If it doesn't show a 40kb resource fork, report back so we'll all have a better idea what's going on.
As long as the image is just for web use, a big resource fork isn't really an issue, since the web server will only serve the data fork (which is just 539 bytes long). If want to compact the file anyway, use the command xattr -d com.apple.ResourceFork /Volumes/Database/WebFolder/imgs/confirm.gif to remove the fork.

The Finder preview data isn't stored inside the actual file, so that's not what's causing your size problems.
ImageOptim is a handy GUI tool for shrinking excess data. Also, if you're making a small image I'd recommend png or gif, jpeg is designed for photos.

I believe that all current generation Apple devices some with the same sync cable. From my experience (almost everyone I know is an apple fan) some people wear through them pretty quickly (usually girls who wind them up and put them in hand bags etc) and some last forever (such as mine which just sits on the desk and only gets used every few days. its the original cable that came with my first iPhone a few years back and still works fine).

I noticed the new USB cable that came with my iPhone 4 was different than the older one with iPhone 3G, and even different than the one that came with my iPad. It was made with that new "rubberized" white plastic like the new ear buds, that seems springier.
Anyway, if the cable stops functioning under normal use after only two months, I'm quite certain it would be covered under Apple's iPod one year warranty. You should go to your friendly neighbourhood Apple Store or inquire about a replacement.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Cannot restore or recover ipod Classic 80gb I have an ipod Classic 80gb. It is currently stuck on the apple screen. I am unable to recover or restore the ipod. It is not recognized by windows as either a ipod or a mass storage device. When I plug it into my PC nothing happens.
It just sits there with the apple logo on the screen. None of the buttons respond with the exception of a reset. (toggle hold switch -> hold center + menu for 6 seconds.) A reset will cause the screen to go blank for a few seconds.
Nothing else I have found seems to work.
Let me know if you have any ideas

You can try to diagnose the problem with the diagnostic mode.
To enter the diagnostic mode, press the folowing key when the apple logo appears after a reset :
iPod 1G, 2G et 3G, press the keys for 5 seconds :
*
*"back"
*"next"
*"select"
iPod 4G, 5G, mini et nano, press the keys for 5 seconds :
*
*"back"
*"select"
In the diagnotic mode, you can navigate in the menus with the back/next keys and launch a bunch of test.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Cannot import video into iMovie I have an avi file that takes 350mb; I go into iMovie and i create a new project, then i create a new event and then i click on import video, i go to the right directory, to the avi file and click on import. The import window disappear and appear a loading bar that says something like "Optimizing the video..." and in 1 second it disappear (... i don't see the bar load). Nothing else happens, but the video is not imported.
Why?
More informations
I tried to uncheck the optimization option but another loading bar appear saying "Loading video", when the bar is completed another bar appear and disappear immediately. It doesn't change anything: my video cannot be imported.
Some more try
Downloading Perian and Divx codec doesn't solve the problem.

I think your problem has something to do with not having the right Codecs (the bit of software that translates one type of video to another type). @Martin is right - if you can convert your video yourself you'll solve your problem, but it would be even better if you can teach iMovie to convert it for you.
Try installing both Perian and DivX (I'm too new to post two hyperlinks, just Google DivX Mac - it's the top link) and then restart your computer - this will install extra codecs to allow you to covert between the different types of video.

Just to echo what another user said in a comment, if installing Perian and DivX didn't work you might try converting the video. Just download Handbrake and convert your video to H.264, then try importing that into iMovie.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>iMac wont startup and won't boot from CD My 24" 3.06Ghz iMac will no longer fully boot. It constantly gives me the grey "Your machine needs to be restarted" half way through booting. At first I was able to boot into SuperUser mode and run an fsck which passed normally, but eventually after the constant rebooting fsk now reports:
Invalid node structure
The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely
I have also tried booting to my Snow Leopard install DVD but that just brings up the grey "Your machine needs to be restarted" screen.
I assume now that my HD is toast (When using another Mac, I am unable to mount it in Target disk mode), but the inability to boot to the CD tells me there is something deeper at fault here. Is there any way that I can further diagnose the problem?

No, but if you connect it to a Windows machine and restore the iPod using iTunes, it will reformat it to work with Windows. If you want to learn a bit more, read this Apple support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335?viewlocale=en_US

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Problem with loading new emails on Mail Something started happening to one of my mail accounts on Mail one of these days.
When I press Get New Mail, it starts downloading, showing the KB/s of the Mail Activity.
The problem is, without even downloading the first new email, the KB/s starts dropping to 0 and no emails are downloaded... This only happens to this email account and has been happening for some days now.
Any ideas of what could be wrong?
Thanks

Try using Cmd-0 to bring up the more detailed Activity Window within mail. I've often been able to track down mail problems by looking in there.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>What is the best way to modify Apple keyboards for alternate layouts? I would like to permanently modify my keyboard's button labels to match the non-default keyboard layout that I have set on an Apple computer, so that others who do not touch-type can use the keyboard. How do I do this?
I have the "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English)".
Why? I don't use the QWERTY layout on my US-bought Apple computer, and Apple does not sell anything except QWERTY keyboards. This is not a problem for me, as I touch-type, so the labels on the keys are basically unused by me. But other people (mostly children) use my computer, and I would like to allow them to "hunt-and-peck" with the system-wide keyboard layout.
I have tried using stickers to "relabel" the keys, but this is obviously not very durable and looks terrible and makes it difficult to touch-type since it obscures the little nubs on the "home keys". Most of the stickers have been worn off.
I am willing to disassemble the keyboard and reassemble it if the keys are physically separate from each other. But I am not willing to disassemble the keyboard to discover if this is true or not. I have looked at several Mac "tear down" articles, but none of them illustrate the keyboard mechanism. If I could simply re-arrange the existing buttons, I would have to remove the "home key" nubs on the "F" and "J" keys and add something to the "U" and "H" keys, but I think I can handle that.
I am also willing to use paint and/or chemicals to modify the labels, but I know nothing about where to start here. Are the labels painted on? Or are they a different kind of plastic somehow injected into the button plastic? Can I paint over the existing labels and then re-paint new ones? Or would I have to somehow dye the keys to be some single color and then paint on my labels? What would be a type of paint that is durable enough for a keyboard?
I am not willing to buy a third-party keyboard, unless it is nearly exactly equivalent to the Apple keyboard. I suppose I am willing to buy a second third-party keyboard and rotate them if that is simple to do with OS X. But ideally, I want one keyboard with labels that match the default layout, and touch-typers can use whatever layout they want, and hunt-and-peckers can still make do.
Are there any other options?

If you have a keyboard similar to the one described here, it sounds like you can just pop the keys off and push them back down in the new position.

Would one of the printed keyboard covers offered by companies like KBCovers do the job?
Since you have not stated what the actual "non-standard keyboard layout" you are using consists of, it's hard for us to understand what you need.
Furthermore, Apple does indeed sell keyboards in other layouts besides QWERTY. In the United States Apple Store, you can order an Apple keyboard layed out for US English, German, Belgian, Danish, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Swiss, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic.

You could try selecting the item and then viewing the dropdown list in view mode, not selection mode. But As far as I know there is no way, in selection mode, to change how Apple presents the choices.

Double check your permissions in those files, if they are not like this, it won’t work:
-rw------- 1 martin staff 1675 Jul 27 2009 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 martin staff 403 Jul 27 2009 id_rsa.pub

If you see that the files have an @, that means they have “extended attributes”.

Connect manually from Terminal using the verbose options to see where your problem lies, if it's a client-side problem. You might also want to check the error logs on the server to find out if your publickey is getting rejected. Permissions on the user folder, the .ssh folder, and the files within (like authorized_keys) need to have all group/other write permissions removed, on both the client and the server. SSH is very picky about permissions and will not use anything that is accessible to anyone other than you.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Why does changing "Open with" also change a files "Modification date"? Something I noticed a while ago. I use Carbon Copy Cloner for backing up my files and I noticed one day when I changed a video's "Open with" flag to always open a video file with Movist instead of Quicktime, and the next time the clone ran it copied the file again. Even though nothing was changed. Which made me realize that OS X changes changes a files modification date causing backup programs like Rsync (Which CCC and SuperDuper use) and Time Machine to re-copy the file, even if it's 10GB in size.
Why does it do this? Is there a technical reason or is it an oversight? Seems like a silly idea to me. Especially since changing a label doesn't modify the file and the color selection is duplicated without the whole file being copied.

Some experimentation using the xattr command shows this:
*
*Label information is stored in the com.apple.FinderInfo extended attribute, which every file should have by default.
*Custom application associations are stored in the com.apple.ResourceFork attribute, which not every file has.
*Updating the FinderInfo attribute does not cause the modification date to be modified.
*Creating/updating the ResourceFork causes the modification date to be modified.
The resource fork historically had a special place in Mac file systems. I'm not sure if the com.apple.ResourceFork extended attribute is the same as a resource fork, if the latter was superseded by the former or how else they are connected.
If there's a technical difference between an extended attribute and a resource fork, it may be "necessary" for a file to be modified when the resource fork is updated, but not when the extended attribute is written.
It may be that the (legacy) API for updating resource forks updates the file modification date in the process, while the extended attribute API doesn't. The latter possibly in error, possibly because of different philosophies.
Vague information, but it might give a little more insight. In the end though you're right. Some meta information modification causes the modification date to be updated, others doesn't. Whether there's a reason behind this or if it's just an oversight… only a few guys at Apple may know. :)

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Anti-virus comparison for Mac OS X This is not a "I use OS X, do I need Anti-Virus?" question.
I am looking at comparison and user opinion of existing AV products.
I know I can avoid most (if not all) threats by being careful on the sites I visit, and the emails I download. But I need an anti-virus, for a variety of reasons - mostly to prevent my Mac as a carrier for viruses. (Many friends' USB drives turn out to be infected).
I was looking for the "Best" of the anti virus software out there.
I am looking prominently at anti-virus. "Internet Security" and the like are not important, and would try to avoid them if it would save money or not make my mac slower.
By "Best" I mean the best combination of detect-rate (or whatever that is called) and performance.
I don't intend to run it always in the background. Maybe I would do a onetime scan of my system and hard drives, and then it would be mostly on a need basis, especially on USB drives/portable hard disks of friends.
So primary objective: High Detect rate
I have used Norton Antivirus for Mac and Virus Barrier (got this with one of those software bundles sometime before, not the latest version) and had problems with both. Both sometimes hog my CPU, and somehow "lock" my USB drives preventing me from Ejecting it (I had to force eject them or just pull them off from the port) (thought off late Norton seemed a little better)
Ok, thats a long one. But my question is simple: What anti-virus do you recommend for the Mac?
Thanks.

ClamXav
It is open source and low resource consumption, but is not free.
There is also a free command line version available in brew, fink, and macports under clamav (less ugly). There is some minor configuration, but there are decent guides on the ClamAV site and here, for example.

I've personally used Sophos (Standalone version) and found that it causes high-memory utilization and some other file-system issues. (Updates on this one will bring your internet speeds to minimum).
I find avast! much better. It's free and covers most basic of the environments. The only caveat is the the first scan takes longer (~55 min for me).
I've also tried Avira, and I rather liked it. I've been using this for some time now and I gotta say it's very fast and easy to use.
Check this study by http://www.av-comparatives.org/ for comparison between different programs. http://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/mac_review_2013_en.pdf (Published last year)
Almost forgot about the Bitdefender. It is one of the best rated AV tools.

By "Best" I mean the best combination of detect-rate (or whatever that is called) and performance.
I don't intend to run it always in the background. Maybe I would do a onetime scan of my system and hard drives, and then it would be mostly on a need basis, especially on USB drives/portable hard disks of friends.
So primary objective: High Detect rate
I have used Norton Antivirus for Mac and Virus Barrier (got this with one of those software bundles sometime before, not the latest version) and had problems with both. Both sometimes hog my CPU, and somehow "lock" my USB drives preventing me from Ejecting it (I had to force eject them or just pull them off from the port) (thought off late Norton seemed a little better)
Ok, thats a long one. But my question is simple: What anti-virus do you recommend for the Mac?
Thanks.
ClamXav
It is open source and low resource consumption, but is not free.
There is also a free command line version available in brew, fink, and macports under clamav (less ugly). There is some minor configuration, but there are decent guides on the ClamAV site and here, for example.
I've personally used Sophos (Standalone version) and found that it causes high-memory utilization and some other file-system issues. (Updates on this one will bring your internet speeds to minimum).
I find avast! much better. It's free and covers most basic of the environments. The only caveat is the the first scan takes longer (~55 min for me).
I've also tried Avira, and I rather liked it. I've been using this for some time now and I gotta say it's very fast and easy to use.
Check this study by http://www.av-comparatives.org/ for comparison between different programs. http://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/mac_review_2013_en.pdf (Published last year)
Almost forgot about the Bitdefender. It is one of the best rated AV tools.
The best free anti-virus software for OS X is Avira if you consider the software which has the least impact on system performance to be the best.
This is based off of a comparison of anti-virus softwares which was published on Sophos' website.
The original publication conducted by AV-Comparatives is available as a PDF download here. It is a test of the impact of internet security software on system performance, unaffiliated with any software publisher, making it an unbiased comparison.
According the the tests, there is 1 other application which is better than Avira; Eset, but they do not offer a free version of their software. They do offer a free 30-day trial and a yearly subscription service of $39.99 for one computer.

I am looking at comparison and user opinion of existing AV products.
I know I can avoid most (if not all) threats by being careful on the sites I visit, and the emails I download. But I need an anti-virus, for a variety of reasons - mostly to prevent my Mac as a carrier for viruses. (Many friends' USB drives turn out to be infected).

*Select File > Import from Scanner > Printer name
Is there a way to avoid having to do that first step every time? Didn't see a preference in Preview and obviously we aren't going to keep it running all of the time. :)

That answer is very well done, but an even better option is to use "image capture".

This is a neat windows feature to want in the Dock, but if you like keyboard shortcuts, why not get a customizable application, like Quicksilver that lets you do a lot via the keyboard. Its not going to be easy / quick if you have a lot of Apps in your dock to remember a meaning less position number of a icon in a dock, when you could just ask for what you want directly. Something like Quicksilver will not only help you open stuff in the dock faster it will let you open stuff not in the dock at extreme speeds.
For example, after getting Quicksilver's attention via a configurable key command, I type "F" and hit enter to open Firefox on my setup.

Not very. Any optimization that needs to be done is already built into the Mac OS X.

Let me correct your answer ;)
Unless you leave your computer on 24
hours a day, and completely shut it
down and restart it once a week, some
things will grow and grow.
Starting with Snow Leopard, OS X catches up on missed periodic routines (purging caches, updating indexes, other stuff that needs to be done periodically).
If you are really in doubt, run the following in terminal:
sudo periodic daily
sudo periodic weekly
sudo periodic monthly
This will run all the routines OS X runs daily, weekly or monthly to keep the system fresh and fast.

I’ve used smcFanControl when I had a 1st Gen Macbook Pro 15’’. It’s not harmful in the sense that the fan is designed to be on, but of course, like any other mechanical device, the more you use it, the faster it wears out. If your Macbook Pro is getting too hot, try one of those utilities to see if it helps. In any case, getting a cooling pad is not a bad idea. Depending upon the type of work and conditions that you have, a Fanless may be enough.
I believe the “best” fanless was the iLap. And for cooling pads with a Fan, you’ll have to see and trust the power of Google Shop. These generally use a USB port to drive a couple of Fans. Among the best features you can look for are the provision of an extra USB (so you don’t lose your port), portability if you move and sound level of the fans, whether they can be turned on/off, etc.

yeah beacause gpu is located top left so... set fan controls default or manually spin up left fan 1.5X FASTER than right fan while playing games on windows 3100 for left and 4600-5000 is enough and really cool(heavy gaming ) else 4500 for game and right 2700rps should be enough!

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Using a Magic Trackpad and a USB mouse at the same time I know that the Magic Trackpad is not good for a few things (I personally don’t like trackpads in general too much when I’m on a laptop). I tend to start looking for a mouse. (18 years of mousing around may be too much for my old brain).
However, there are certain things about the Magic Trackpad, that could be handy and that are virtually impossible with a mouse. I don’t like the Magic Mouse because you have to lift your “left button click finger” to perform a right click. (I’ve tried it for a while).
So I was thinking, has anyone connected a Magic Trackpad and a USB mouse at the same time, is it possible to have both (and working) and move the hand to either when needed?
Anyone experienced this?

As an iPhone developer, I'm interested in some technical answers.
I've gone through some interesting links from here, but haven't found anything about how the hackers are doing it (especially unlocking).
Any references will be extremely useful.
Jailbreaking is the process of hacking the code signing mechanism to allow unsigned code to run on the phone. There are multiple tools used for this and they vary between both model and iOS version.
Unlocking is the process of hacking the 3G chip's baseband to allow SIM cards from other networks without an official unlock from the carrier. There's also an alternative method called Subscriber Artificial Module (SAM) which creates a fake but slightly more authentic unlock from iTunes. I have never needed a hacked unlock (Australia has official carrier unlocks) so I don't know much more about it. Unlocking naturally needs a jailbreak to work, which is why the two are sometimes confused.
If you want a more technical answer you'll need to specify one or the other, as jailbreaking and unlocking are two entirely different types of hacks.
I'd also advise against trying anything you don't completely understand because if you don't know what you're doing you're liable to make irreversible changes to your phone, especially when tampering with the baseband.

Since you mentioned “better” and in particular “copy speed”, I believe the only answer is Xfile. Other than that, nothing will beat cp ;)
The world’s fastest file manager for OS X
It’s not free, quite the contrary.

While much more than just a copy utility, Pathfinder shows copy speed. Along with Launchbar, it's one of my must have utilities.

You may also consider Hedge for Mac tool. It's mostly for backup purposes and can be used to fast copy large files/folders. It has free version but most interesting features are to be paid.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Is there an iPad app that will 'play' a large PDF file as a slideshow? I'm looking for an iPad app that will 'play' a large PDF file as a slideshow.
I've tried the major popular PDF apps, including GoodReader and ReaddleDocs, but none seem to have a 'slideshow' function.
I've also looked into a few Music Notation viewers, but they all seem to require a screen tap to advance to the next page.
Ideally, I want to be able to view a large, graphic-intensive PDF file and then hit 'PLAY' and have it auto advance it's pages. Bonus points if you can zoom, or flip back/forward a page and then after preset interval, the slide show resumes.

Presentations are meant to be presentations. If you're going to do the process that 3rdparty suggested, I highly advise that you convert the PDF into a presentation friendly format (jpgs are fine if you want to "fudge" it), but invest in Keynote for the iPad and use it!
Keynote iPad's presentation skills are really astounding. Digital Laser Pointer, private presenter's notes on the iPad and the external display you connect to displays the full screen presentation (requires the VGA video out cable or some equivalent products, the composite/component video cables might work too). Transitions, animations, rich media, everything.
It sucks that you already have it in a PDF, but if you do the work to convert it, the iPad will help you present it wonderfully.

One solution I've come up with may be to convert the PDF document to individual JPG images, then sync those 'photos' via iTunes.
They can then be viewed individually or as a slide show.
Caveats are:
*
*limited resolution once iTunes downsamples the photos for syncing
*slideshow stops once you zoom in or manually disrupt it: ideally would like it to automatically continue (hoping there is a better slide show app to do this...)

You can get a nice pdf with the content of your music library: hit ⌘P to open the print dialog, select "Album list" (I'm using a not english version of iTunes, son I'm not fully sure of the label, I mean the third radiobox from the top) and the "Only text" theme (the first option on the select field).

This is actually insanely simple:
Open iTunes and go into your music library. Click on a song to ensure focus is inside the song list, press ⌘a to select all your songs, then press ⌘c to copy them.
Open the text editor of your choice, anything should do, then ⌘v paste your songs!
Ét Voíla, all your songs listed in plain text.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Revert an account's "full name" back to the original I don't think this is a "short name" question. I changed my "full name" to include my last name, but I'd like to revert back to just my first name. When I try to change the full name entry under "accounts" back to "Richard" I can't, with the warning "Name is not available."
What gives? Is there a way to revert to my original short name? This is strictly cosmetic, right? The only place I see my full name is the right side of the menu bar (my short name has never changed from "richard"). Thanks!

What gives? Is there a way to revert to my original short name? This is strictly cosmetic, right? The only place I see my full name is the right side of the menu bar (my short name has never changed from "richard"). Thanks!
The problem is that your short name is already richard, so your Users’ folder looks like /Users/richard.
If you want, you could change your short name (provided you’re in Leopard or Snow Leopard) or, not known to a lot of people is that you can create Aliases.
For example if your name is Robert De Niro Of The Great Canyon (wow!), and your account is robertdeniroofthegreatcanyon, you can create an alias to “robert”, to simplify.
To do that, in the Advanced Options screen, click the plus (+) button under Aliases and then type your desired account alias. (Do not make any other changes.) click OK and restart (just in case any service may be crazy).
This is easy and safe, but it doesn’t actually change your short name at all, nor your home folder among other things.
If you want to change your short user name, you have two different approaches. A less “intrusive” method (#1) and a full change (#2):
Option #1: Change your short name, don’t change your home folder’s name.
You basically change your account’s name, but you leave your filesystem alone. Everything will work with your new name, but the files will be under the “old name”’s folder.
This works fairly well, except that sometimes, programs insist on storing settings based upon your short username, which could lead to some issues with those programs.
Here’s how to do it:
*
*Disable Automatic Login and FileVault if you have them (for the account you want to rename). You can later reactivate these.
*Logoff completely from the account and login with another account (create one if you have to, you can remove it later).
*ctrl + click on your account name, select advanced options.
*In the “Account Name” field, delete your username and type the new one. Make sure the “home directory” stays the same as it was before, don’t change it.
*Click ok. Restart. Login using your new short name.
Option #2 Change both short name and home folder
Bear in mind that this, like the previous solution, has problems with some settings in certain programs/services that may use your /Users/old_name). You’ll have to check the settings for each and fix it (possibly reconfigure it). After you save the new settings for the programs, things should work ok.
Warning: Time machine will go coo coo if you change your home folder and will have to backup every file again, because it tracks files using their paths.
*
*Disable Automatic Login and FileVault if you have them (for the account you want to rename). You can later reactivate these.
*Logoff completely from the account and login with another account (create one if you have to, you can remove it later).
*ctrl + click on your account name, select advanced options.
*Like with option #1, change the name of your Account Name.
*Change the Home Directory from /Users/old to /Users/new, where new is the short username you typed in step # 4.
*Click OK and close all this, open a Terminal (/Application/Utilities/Terminal.app)
*Type the following command, all on one line, and then press Return; when prompted, provide the password of the admin account you’re currently using, and then press Return again:
sudo mv /Users/old /Users/new
(these are the names from step 4 and 5).
*restart!
Why all this trouble and where is the answer to your question?
So after all this, if you want to have robert in your “login menu” I believe you should simply tell it to show the short name and leave the rest of the settings alone:
In any case, if you REALLY want to have both “richard”, you’ll probably have to rename your shortname first.

The only feature I was able to find is that in the list of ToDo items one can add a Notes column and enter text into there for each ToDo.
To add the Notes column to the list, view your list of ToDo's and then select the Notes item from View->Columns
I couldn't find a way to view multi-line notes for a ToDo item, but I could type option-return to insert a return character.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Iphone 4G Wifi Password Issues I recently replaced my wireless router from Verizon. I kept all the settings identical, and all the other wireless devices in my home connect with no problem (a pc, mac, ipad, etc). However, my iphone is unable to connect. It correctly identifies the wifi network, and I'm prompted to enter my password. But even though I've entered the password correctly multiple times, it always returns "password incorrect".

<|im_start|>other<|im_sep|>iPhone app submission process I've submitted my first app on the 20th November but the status is still "Waiting for review", has anyone had longer than this or similar waiting times?
The approval process varies and there’s no exact number. The factor that determines this is the number of apps in the approval queue. I don’t remember where I read that 95% of the apps where approved within 14 days. I believe this came in a “message” in the dev accounts. But it was more than a year ago.
You can see more information in your Developer Account by going to the approval page. (You need a paid account to access that).
I haven’t submitted an iPhone App but in my near experience, it’s around two weeks.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Is there a PDF viewer with a vertical split screen feature? I have a very wide PDF and I would like to find a PDF viewer which would allow me to split the screen vertically so I can keep the left side the same while scrolling the right side back and forth.
I found the application http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/, but it only allows one to split the screen horizontally.
Is anyone aware of such a PDF viewer on the Mac?

You can take a snapshot in Skim (File -> Take Snapshot), then using the wonderful ShiftIt move the snapshot and the main view of the pdf to the opposite sides of the screen (vertically) with just a few keystrokes. Or horizontally. Or to all four corners if you want.

A quick look suggests that this feature does not exist in any PDF reader.
One responder on this forum [ http://is.gd/i0R12 ] believes that there are no such readers.
Most of the links in this Google search [ http://is.gd/i0QQy ] are requesting such a feature be implemented in some reader, any reader.

Here is a decent workaround streamlined from the hints in the comments to this question. In this example I use the PDF viewer Skim, but it should work the same with any other app.
Open Apple's Script Editor that is in the Applications/Utilities folder, and copy the following code.
on run
do shell script "open -n /Applications/Skim.app"
tell application "Skim" to activate
end run
on open theFiles
repeat with theFile in theFiles
do shell script "open -na /Applications/Skim.app " & quote & (POSIX path of theFile) & quote
end repeat
tell application "Skim" to activate
end open
Save it as an application. Now every time you drag a PDF into the icon, a new instance of Skim will open. I like to use OSX's native split-full-screen view.
I found this script online a long time ago and I don't remember where. If anyone knows I'd be happy to give credit.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Can I use a PC/Mac keyboard as a Bluetooth keyboard for iPhone? I'm wondering about the feasibility of using my iMac's built-in bluetooth as a source for keyboard input to my iphone.
There are times I want to type longer messages in my iphone, i keep a bluetooth keyboard around just to have a full sized keyboard to use on the iphone. I don't use the keyboard on my iMac because I have an ergonomic keyboard there that I much prefer. What I think would be great is to use that corded ergonomic keyboard as an input to the iphone via a bluetooth device that uses the iMac.
Any thoughts on this?

There are apps in App Store: iKeyboard ($9.99), Type2Phone ($9.99), 1Keyboard ($9.99) and Typeeto ($4.99) that allow to use your Mac's keyboard as Bluetooth keyboard. The obvious requirements are Mac with Bluetooth and recent OS X.

2017 Edit: As mentioned in other (newer) answers, there are iPhone apps available that can act as Bluetooth keyboards from the Mac. I've been using Typeeto myself. My original answer should be considered quite out of date now.
I'd recommend using the dedicated Bluetooth keyboard if it's not too much hassle, as it's currently the most elegant solution.
If you really want to type from the iMac though, you'll need a Jailbroken iPhone. There is a VNC server called "Veency" available from Cydia. You'll then need a VNC client for the iMac (I use JollysFastVNC myself). The iMac and iPhone also need to be networked via either Wifi or Bluetooth LAN.
You'll want to ignore the video and just look at the iPhone's screen while typing, because it lags heavily.
I would love to have something more elegant to suggest, but other mouse/keyboard-only solutions like Synergy or Teleport are Desktop/Notebook only at the moment.

Turn your Mac into a Bluetooth keyboard that works with all of your devices.

In the Photos app on my iPod Touch, when I'm scrolling through photos, it always makes "up" = the orientation of the device, even if that doesn't match the orientation of the photo. So half the time, the photo takes up only half the pixels on the screen, and the other half are just black, and I have to rotate the device, and it takes a couple seconds to realize this and rotate the display.
Is there any way to make iOS/Photos always show photos full-screen, even when that doesn't match the current orientation of the device?

Simply put, no.
Sorry!
There may be some jailbreak hack for this issue that I am unaware of, but there is no way to accomplish what you are asking with Apple's iOS and the Photos app on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

With the release of iOS 5, this is now very simple. Dictionary functionality is available in any app that allows you to select text. Just highlight the text as if you were going to do a Copy and you will see a "Define" option next to "Copy". Tap "Define" and you get a pop-up window with the definition from the same dictionary built in to iBooks.

Are you asking about a jailbreak app?
The official build of Apple's iOS does not support this functionality.
The best you can do is copy and paste the word and then search Google for the definition. Or paste the word into a dictionary app.

but I'm pretty sure, it isn't a robust way to do that.
IMO making an event trigger for Application Launch event would be a better approach.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Why does my MacBook Pro die without warning? I have a MacBook Pro (about 18mts old) which has recently started to inexplicably die without warning. I'm running it on battery and, yes, it's getting close to the bottom end (between 10 and 25%). In the past I would get to about 10 minutes of life left and the "Reserve Battery" warning dialog would pop up and let me know that I'd better get on the adapter.
Not any more.
Now it gets to about 25% and then plik! it's black screen and dead. Instantly. No warning, nothing.
Some details about the Mac
*
*Hardware: 2.5Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4Gb, 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
*Software: 10.5.8
*Model: 4.1
*Boot ROM: MBP4.1.00C1.B03
Following advice from @Alex, I've checked the system logs (Console) and disk verification tool (Disk Utility) but they both come up clean. Apart from the instant death at low battery, there are no other dubious intermittent faults.
Edit to cover suggestions so far
Many thanks to all who have taken the time to address this issue. I've summarised the answers so far:
*
*Look at the battery cycle count (About this Mac | More Info | Hardware - Power - Battery Information) - @glenstorey
*Recalibrate the battery - @Lawrence Velázquez
*Check hardware (RAM seating, hard disk etc) - @Alex
Final result
The whole thing about battery cycles being guaranteed by Apple appears to be a myth (at least the bods at my Apple Store were unaware of it). So I changed the battery and all was fixed. Back to normal.

Check to see how many cycles your battery has done (System Profiler - Power - Cycle Count); from what I understand your battery will still be under warranty if it has less than 300 - more than 300 and it's on its way out. We have a whole bunch of MacBooks (Pros) here, and once in a while one of them does this exact thing when the battery gets old and tired, just like yours.
I've had batteries that have lasted 40 months, and some that have only lasted 18, the newer MacBooks with the non-removable batteries last a lot longer.

<|im_start|>other<|im_sep|>Why does my MacBook Pro die without warning? I have a MacBook Pro (about 18mts old) which has recently started to inexplicably die without warning. I'm running it on battery and, yes, it's getting close to the bottom end (between 10 and 25%). In the past I would get to about 10 minutes of life left and the "Reserve Battery" warning dialog would pop up and let me know that I'd better get on the adapter.
Not any more.
Now it gets to about 25% and then plik! it's black screen and dead. Instantly. No warning, nothing.
Some details about the Mac
*
*Hardware: 2.5Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4Gb, 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
*Software: 10.5.8
*Model: 4.1
*Boot ROM: MBP4.1.00C1.B03
Following advice from @Alex, I've checked the system logs (Console) and disk verification tool (Disk Utility) but they both come up clean. Apart from the instant death at low battery, there are no other dubious intermittent faults.
Edit to cover suggestions so far
Many thanks to all who have taken the time to address this issue. I've summarised the answers so far:
*
*Look at the battery cycle count (About this Mac | More Info | Hardware - Power - Battery Information) - @glenstorey
*Recalibrate the battery - @Lawrence Velázquez
*Check hardware (RAM seating, hard disk etc) - @Alex
Final result
The whole thing about battery cycles being guaranteed by Apple appears to be a myth (at least the bods at my Apple Store were unaware of it). So I changed the battery and all was fixed. Back to normal.

In addition to what has already been said, it’s possible that your battery may be miscalibrated. If true, this would explain why your computer runs out of charge, even though it thinks otherwise.
I would strongly suggest trying to recalibrate your battery before doing anything else. Instructions can be found in this Apple support article. In a nutshell:
*
*Plug the computer in until it thinks the battery is fully charged.
*Let the battery rest in the fully-charged state for at least 2 hours.
*Unplug and run the computer on battery until the battery is exhausted and the computer goes to sleep.
*Let the computer sleep for at least 5 hours. I believe this is to drain the battery of its reserve charge.
*Plug the computer in again until the battery is fully charged.
You can use the computer during every step except #4.
If this doesn’t produce results for you, then resort to other options.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>troubleshooting connections issue between two macs I often want to move files between my MacBook and iMac, but its such an issue that I usually resort to failure. They will see each-other on the network (shown in Finder) but after selecting the machine and waiting a while there will be a message like "connection filed" or similar. The other MacBook in the house doesn't even show on this list at all. So I am wondering is there a secret to getting networking happening, or at least something I can use to troubleshoot these issues?

First, make sure File Sharing is on for both computers. Then connect an Ethernet cable directly between the two machines. Each machine should appear in the other's sidebar of the Finder. Connect to it by double-clicking (login using your credentials if needed), and then drag your files or folders across at 1Gbps!
Later,

How strong is your connection? I assume you're using wifi on the MacBook? I used to have a lot of issues with this kind of thing until I replaced my wireless router.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>How to recover an iPod Classic that won't turn on and doesn't appear as a drive? A friend of mine asked for help with an iPod Classic that isn't working.
It is an 80GB iPod Classic, model A1238, that doesn't give any signs of still being alive. It won't beep or light the screen, doesn't matters what I try.
I have tried to reset it (turn the hold switch on/off and then hold the middle and menu button) but it did nothing, and so I couldn't put it in disk mode either.
Right now I'm trying to charge it from a power adapter, but I don't expect it to help.
I had already tried to charge it from a PC, and from a MacBook Pro.
Anything else I could try, before sending it to repair?

Here's something that worked for me:
*
*Put the iPod into a ziploc bag and seal it tightly.
*Put it in the freezer overnight.
*Take it out in the morning.
I thought that it was just an urban myth, but as the iPod was apparently dead, why not try it? I was (pleasantly!) shocked to see it start up again the next morning.

This is a new MacBook Pro (17", 2010 unibody version) running fully updated Mac OS X 10.6.5.
Does the plugin just crash for everyone, or is this unique to me? How often does Flash crash for you? Is there anything I can check, or is there a way I can reinstall Flash or some other diagnosis I can run? I haven't been experiencing other issues with my computer or my browser.

There's a reason why Apple appears to onlookers to be so anti-Flash, and it's because Flash sucks on Macs (it may also suck on other OSs, but I don't use them enough to be knowledgeable).
What to do about it depends on what browser you use (your question doesn't say, as Mozilla's Plugin Check isn't FF-only):
*
*Safari - the answer is ClickToFlash. Honestly, C2F is something that should just come pre-installed on every Mac.
*Firefox/Camino - As Ken mentioned in a comment, you want the FlashBlock extension.
*Chrome - use the FlashBlock for Chrome extension.
As has already been said: you can get along fine on almost all sites without Flash. Here's some additional recommended reading, both of which are from John Gruber at Daring Fireball:

Flash crashed so often for me, I have gone flash free and only use flash in Google Chrome browser. Google installs flash within that one app, updates flash behind the scenes and Safari hasn't crashed once in 6 months.
I would recommend three useful and stable Safari extensions if you disable flash in Safari:

*YouTube5
*HTML5 Audio
*H.264 Flickr Video

Is the iTunes store (app, music, video) related to the device software, the network it's accessing from, or the locale of the iTunes account associated with that device?

The iTunes store is related to the locale of the iTunes account (which is determined by the credit card associated with the account). Several friends of mine have bought iPads in other countries (US and UK) and are happily using them in Sweden with the Swedish iTunes store.

Calibre (free/open-source)
Considering its price and features, Calibre should be #1 choice. Still I encountered two important limitations:
*
*files are stored in a directory structure that you cannot control, root\Authors\Paper. This does make the sharing of this folder with solutions like Dropbox really hard to use.
*the GUI is ugly like ** and not so intuitive
Please remember that these were the bad points, in addition it has tons of "good points".

is free, does everything you describe, and integrates well with LaTeX.
Papers2 ($79 for Mac and another 15$ for iPad extension)
Does what you want, but is not free, and does not have as good integration with LaTeX. Papers does have support for iPhone/iPad devices (at extra cost).
Yep (39$)
It handles the job of document management pretty well.
I have a license and it’s really good at finding all the PDF mess that I have scattered. Then the reading feature and the loupe are nice. They have a trial.
FingerPDF
It is particularly suited for PDF Technical Books, Magazines and Papers
DEVONthink
After a hundred years of research I decided on DEVONthink Pro Office for my academic workflow.
I recommend that you don't simply compare the features of the software listed here, but google around for how other people in your field use these apps. It will give you a better idea of what you actually want without trying them all.
Calibre (free/open-source)
Considering its price and features, Calibre should be #1 choice. Still I encountered two important limitations:
*
*files are stored in a directory structure that you cannot control, root\Authors\Paper. This does make the sharing of this folder with solutions like Dropbox really hard to use.
*the GUI is ugly like ** and not so intuitive
Please remember that these were the bad points, in addition it has tons of "good points".
Evernote
It's free unless you need one of their premium features.
Sadly, doing an OCR pass on uploaded PDFs is one of their premium features, but there are a couple of workarounds: you can either OCR your PDF before uploading it to EN, or upload JPGs instead of PDFs (as Evernote OCRs JPGs).
And speaking from experience: even if you think that you'll only need your files at your MBP, you might be surprised how often it's darn handy to have them all available in the cloud.

4.2.1 is the newest version, and it's no longer in beta. So that means you get it through iTunes, by syncing your device and clicking the "Check for Update" button. There won't be images in the Developer Portal until Apple decides to put the next version of iOS (4.3?) into beta.

Yes you can.
Open System Preferences, Keyboard. Click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab at the top. In the left pane, select Application Shortcuts. In the right pane, select Finder.app. Click the + at the bottom of this pane. For Menu Title, type the exact wording / spelling of the menu item in question: in this case Hide Finder. For Keyboard Shortcut, pick another keystroke combination to hide the finder (I use function key F1). Voila. Now go to Finder and look at the Finder menu; beside Hide Finder should be F1 (or whatever you chose).

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>iPhone app that shows app usage statistics? I'm looking for an app that can tell me how much time I spend on each installed iPhone app. This would be useful for identifying apps I really should delete, and also "lite" apps I really should purchase.
I know such programs existed for Palm devices. They simply looked at the clock whenever the device was turned on & off and whenever a program switch occurred (because the OS provided easy hooks for this), then just calculated running times from these timestamps.
PS: I realize that such an app must by nature be in Cydia, because non-jailbroken devices don't reveal such useful information. --> This fact can't be a reason to close this question!

Cydia's App Stat does exactly what you've requested. As far as I can tell, it exists since April 1st:
New Tweak in Cydia, App Stat, shows you your app usage statistics, frequecy of use, use of time and recent use. Supports IPhone, IPod Touch, IPad running IOS 3.2 or later. Free on Cydia Search for it.

I am requesting it for these two use cases:
*
*Capture of a webcam. It should allow capturing only the webcam App window.
*Creation of program tutorials. Ideally, it should allow mouse cursor magnification and visual click representation (like, making some visual effect when you click on anything).
A different program for each case use is fine if there is not a program that can do both.

I've found that "New Screen Recording" functionality in QuickTime Player combined with iMovie editing capabilities is enough for my needs. Maybe you can give it a try? Best of all, it's already installed on your Mac. Unfortunately, I can't compare it with Camtasia, as I haven't used it.

After some research I've learnt that for the second use case you can use a separate program that does mouse magnification and keystroke detection in conjunction with a regular screen recording program like Quicktime Player (included on Mac OS X). Mouseposé seems the most recommended one.
As for a standalone screen capture program that has more features than Quicktime Player, I've found four that are maybe the most widely used ones:
*
*ScreenFlow
*Camtasia for Mac
*iShowU
*Snapz Pro X
ScreenFlow offers mouse cursor customization, and iShowU offers keystroke and mouse action recording, for showing in the video. ScreenFlow, iShowYou and Camtasia are looking great. Snapz Pro X seems more focused to regular screenshot capturing, but does video as well.

In 2018, Mojave introduced a new shortcut to do screen recordings.
cmd + shift + 5
In the options you can choose to show mouse clicks (or not).
And you can select a portion of the screen to record if you don't want it all.

While browsing the this site, I found a link to another answer that might be useful. So, it looks like a Sony Ericsson MBR-100 wireless dongle attached to the computer should do the trick. I've never used it (or even heard of it before today) but it sounds like it should work.
The reason the computer doesn't work is that both the computer support the A2DP profile but both as a server but not as a receiver. There might be a software solution to get the Mac to support A2DP as a client but I don't know of one.
Another option which doesn't quite do what you want but might be useful would be to use the Remote app on your iPhone to control your iTunes library remotely. This allows you to uses the iPhone as a remote control for your iTunes.

Airfoil now has this feature. Turn on Airfoil Speakers 4.5 or later on your Mac, with Wi-fi turned on on both Mac and iPhone. In your music player app, click the airplay button and choose the name of your Mac. Audio from your iPhone music player app will be input to your Mac.

Over bluetooth might be a little hard. But why not over Wifi (You can also have an Ad Hoc connection between your Mac and the iPhone)? Then you could even use an Air Play cilent on the Mac to 'push' content form your iPhone to the mac. I have tried AirPlayer with limited success, but I am sure the newer versions would be much better.

VLC, FFMPEG, or MPLAYER

If it is a MOV file which you can open with QuickTime Player, open it QuickTime Player 7, an optional install in Snow Leopard, and then go to File -> Export, and choose Sound to AIFF for instance. The resulting AIFF file can me converted back to MP3 or AAC with iTunes, for instance.

<|im_start|>other<|im_sep|>Caffeine taking up 2.88GB virtual memory
Caffeine is a small program. Why is it taking up so much virtual memory or am I reading this wrong?
Edit: persists across application and os restarts
So apparently I was reading it wrong. According to Thomas Franzén ( lightheadsw )
Virtual memory size is a meaningless
number for most uses. An application
having a big virtual memory size
doesn't affect you, because it's just
a virtual memory space. The column you
should be looking at is RSIZE. That's
the actual amount of physical RAM an
application is using.
I verified with ObjectAlloc and it seems like it is using only 8MB or so.

I know that even some Apple's apps are not yet 64bit - I guess this means something. I also have read that there is no big difference except for maybe driver software. What do you think?

I’ve noticed a button you don’t have. What version of Numbers do you have? (I have 09)
Look at this:
That swaps the columns in the graph (exactly like you describe). I’m not really very good at Numbers.
Do you have that? One thing I’ve done, is used the price as a “column” but maybe that’s why you don’t have it?
My graphic looks awesome (sarcasm)…
(btw I hadn’t saved it and had to do it again)

You can also restore the old arrow functionality
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-link-arrows 1
I also suggest the following:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks 1
This setting switches the default
behaviour of the arrow links. By
default (well, by default in iTunes
10.0.0 and before) the arrows would send the user to the corresponding
page in the iTunes Store, but you
could also hold down Opt and click to
be redirected to the corresponding
list in your own library.
Now, to reset it all to Apple's
defaults... you can either do the same
lines as above but replacing '1' with
'0', or you can delete the settings by
changing "write" to "delete" and
removing the 1 from the end:
defaults delete com.apple.iTunes disablePingSidebar
defaults delete com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown
defaults delete com.apple.iTunes show-store-link-arrows
defaults delete com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks
restart when done.
I blogged about this when I read Tom Gidden's article

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Is there any way to specify "not" in iTunes search? Whenever I want to listen to songs from a particular band in iTunes, I'll just type the name in the search box, select shuffle, and start playing. For most bands this works very well, but I've run into a few situations where I'm unable to narrow it down to a single band due to the fact that the name of the band I'm looking for is a subset of the name of a different band. A classic example is "The Who" - every time I type "the who" in my search bar I get "The Guess Who" as well.
I've tried some of the basic tricks like using quotes or minus symbols but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to do this, or do I have to create special playlists for these problem bands?

iTunes doesn’t seem to exhibit any sort of smart searching built into the search box. Possibly, the best way to deal with these things is to use an external tool.
In my case, I have Coversutra (not free), that allows you to press “tab” (can be changed) to select different things:
I know there are free alternatives that can possibly do the same thing.
An additional alternative could be using an AppleScript and Automator to “ask” for the values… but that might be too much.
tell application "iTunes"
activate
set results to (every file track of playlist "Library" whose name contains “some track" and artist contains “some artist")
repeat with t in results
play t
end repeat
end tell
Something like that, if you can make automator (or the script) to ask you for the two “some” values, you’re set.
My opinion: iTunes should support spotlight like search strings!
UPDATE Ok, you’re right about that one, Coversutra (and others) all use iTunes “syntax” which is… no syntax.
Spotlight, however, is a different beast.
In trying to replicate your scenario, I’ve found that I have two “artists” that are similar in name: Metallica and Metalium. They both contain “Meta” in their names.
So when I search for artist “meta” I get both, which is annoying, because I really don’t like Metalium that much…
So I have two solutions for you:
a. Use Launchbar (or quicksilver), to quickly find the artist (this is a nice way to do it and what I really use most of the time when I want to find a song or an artist, it works faster than anything else). I use Launchbar. Pressing enter there creates a temporary playlist (called Launchbar) that contains all the tracks in question, but you could have dig a little bit more if you wanted an album or song. Very easy.
b. Use Spotlight:
This brings both bands:
kind:mp3 author:meta
but this excludes the unwanted one:
kind:mp3 author:meta NOT author:metalium
Not the best but… what can we do :)

The inside of an iPhone is all solid state and can tolerate being dropped. That said, you should thoroughly test the hardware on your phone to see if anything broke. This includes the screen, case, the touchscreen (make sure that touch and multitouch still works everywhere), the headphone jack, all the buttons, the camera and flash, and the dock connector. A bump could have misaligned or disconnected any of the above hardware.

Honestly my phone started acting up now and I've had it since they came out . I love my phone and I've had this bad habit of laying it my lap and forgetting about it as I get out of my truck . I've done this at least 10 times and it still functions properly
All I have to say is as dainty as I thought this phone would be it survived even my rugged harsh lifestyle.
And the thing I respect about it is that at least it breaks down bit by bit instead of leaving you with a brick after the first fall

What kind of floor did it land on?
Carpet: no worries, the fall was too short to cause damage IMHO.
Hardwood: no worries but check to be sure (see Kyle's).
Concrete: potential damage. Check thoroughly.

FYI
I dropped my iPhone 4 the day before I got my free case... The back glass shattered.
What a lame design I thought.
Apple store charged me 29 to put a new non breakable backside, and my receotion is better.
If I wasn't a stock holder I would have raised my voice, as others reported, and got it free. The shattered phone, worked fine, though a full half of the back was shattered, but didn't lose any of the glass.

Mac OS X Applications, tend to be limited due to the UNIX “open” nature of the operating system. Contrary to Windows for example, where one could bury an entry into the Registry under any name, provided you’re given Admin privileges (which is very natural in Windows).
Under OS X, applications are forced to use dedicated locations for storing settings and preferences. ~/Library and /Library.
With that being said, this doesn’t stop some applications to use other mechanisms in conjunction with that.
I cannot name them all primary because I don’t know all of the existing ways, but I can tell you some common forms:
Serial Number / License Key: These are the typical. The program stores an “encrypted” copy of these values in its preferences (sometimes even unencrypted), usually located in:
*
*~/Library/Preferences or /Library
*The Application Bundle itself
*Some value in the user’s Home folder (possibly hidden by a .)
The problem with these are obvious, the serials get published/shared/copied and you have no way to stop it. Some applications have a “blacklist” of serials that although perfectly formatted, are internally hardcoded to be bad.
Online Activation: Less common (and usually more annoying), these require the app to connect to an online host to “activate” or “validate” the license. This prevents a lot of fraud and usually ends with the application cracked by some genius, where the code that does the validation is simply modified to always return “ok” making the application believe that the internet stuff went ok. Read: Adobe Products.
In any case, the program has to store the value somewhere, and the usual locations apply.
Tied with Hardware ID This is common too, they extract your drive’s serial number and some other parameters (Network card MAC Address for example) and they create a serial number that checks for those. So even if you “copy” the license, the new machine won’t have the same values and it will fail. This is annoying because if your hard drive crashes and you boot from a backup, you’ll have to re-register.

There is no set "standard way", you would have to either build your own from scratch or use one of the online store frameworks.
It sounds like what you want would be best suited by the Mac App Store. You'll need to join the Mac Developer Program to get access to it. It's $99 a year.

In 3.3.2 you can have it running full screen by clicking the fullscreen icon; but the client will only appear in full screen mode if it has the same resolution. Smaller resolutions will be surrounded by a black box.
I haven't tried this: but clients with higher resolutions will probably full the screen if they have the same aspect ratio, but they might look a bit funky.

Thanks to the comments on Ipacheco's answer, I ended using a new url labeled "twitter" with a format of "tweetie:@someone" instead of the http:// link to the twitter homepage. This opens up tweetie for Mac and iPhone (now named twitter) whenever you click the link.

Nah. Electricity is PULLED to devices that use it, not PUSHED from the plug. The phone is smart enough to stop pulling when its battery is full.
EDIT: However, an adapter can provide incorrect voltage for a device. Don't take what I said there and wire your iphone power adapter to a 220 source, for instance. You can OVERDRIVE a device with too many volts, but you can't send it "too much" of the right voltage, because the amperage is a function of the device's draw. I know I just said that assuming that you understand the difference between volts and amps, but there it is; they're different.

No, leaving it charging overnight will not have any adverse effects. All you need to do with the iPhone's lithium battery is be sure to drain it once a month for longevity.
Read Apple's iPhone Battery page.

Running computationally expensive tasks on the GPU is something that is coded on the development side. This is not something an end user can do directly. If this is something you intend to do from the development side, it should probably be posted on Stack Overflow.

*Safari sometimes is unresponsive (shows the waiting cursor) even for simple HTML pages with out having a lot of tabs open. This has never happened in Chrome.
*Safari's Javascript Cancvas drawing is the fastest.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>What is the best way to use two 27" monitors on your desk? In my work environment I have three smaller monitors and love the productivity benefit. At home I have two 27" displays (the iMac and an external cinema display), but am having trouble laying them out on my desk so I can effectively use them without neck strain. What's the best layout for ensuring most of your work involves you staring straight ahead at your work, while still letting your work spread out over all those lovely millions of pixels?
EDIT: responses so far have focused on having the monitors at the right level, i.e. at and below eye level. But the problem I'm having is that just one monitor nearly fills my field of vision, so I end up turning my neck or chair dramatically to work on the other.

You don't say what you'll be using them for. I'm (among other things) a programmer, and for me being able to see a tall vertical area in my text editor is of primary importance. Thus, given 2 widescreen monitors, I'd set them up vertically, next to each other.
I'm not unique here: when I visited Google, most of the programmers I saw had this layout too.
I would think this could help with your neck problem, since it makes the display area closer to a square, and not a really wide rectangle. Alternatively, you could keep them horizontal, and stack one right above the other. Depends on the shape of the things you're going to be looking at most, I guess!

Honestly, I've been using 2 24inch monitors for years (one 24ich connected to my 24inch iMac). I personally think using two monitors is not necessary anymore, if you effectively use spaces/virtual desktops.
I now only use my 24inch iMac as my only display, and basically just got used to the new setup, while mastering the keyboard shortcuts. I don't need to move my head, the OS does it for me.
I say ditch the other monitor and get use to using cntrl+arrow keys, just my opinion.

Make sure both are at the same height, if you still have neck strain, then you are not sitting at the right level:
(image courtesy of this link).
If you put them higher or lower, you’ll have to adjust with your neck, thus causing strain.
An excellent blog post about that was written by our own creator…

That's what I think Apple suggests when you need to store you MacBook for longer periods:
*
*discharge your battery to 50% and keep the laptop in a cool place
*if you plan to not use the computer for more than 5 months take the battery off the laptop
*you will probably need to charge the battery every 6 months to better preserve it.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Why is the wireless connection between my MacBook and AirPort Express so unstable? The wireless transmit rate of my MacBook Core 2 Duo is extremely unstable. That is, when I connect to my AirPort Express the transfer rate is good for about one minute and after that it suddenly drops (option click on the AirPort icon shows a transmit rate of 1...).
The strange thing is that when I then click on the AirPort icon next to the clock and new networks are being searched, the rate gets normal again for about 10 seconds. Then again all running downloads and page load stop until I click again.
I use the same network with a MacBook Pro without any problems. I've googled this issue, tried to switch wireless channels, switched back to 802.11g mode (it runs on n and g compatible mode normally) but nothing helped so far.
Any ideas what could cause these transfer rate drops?
Update
Not sure if that's of any use but in the AirPort Utility it says Signal -24, Noise -95 and Rate 1 (it raises when I click the AirPort icon).
Update II
One solution seems to be to switch to 802.11n only 5 GHz (2.4 GHz does not help). The downside: iPhone and many older notebooks don't support it...

Something to try is to turn off IPv6 support in your networking preference control panel for wireless, and even for ethernet if you are hardwired.
Mine would drop connections randomly and I'd have to mess around and eventually would pull its power and let it restart to restore sanity. Then, I read somewhere it was a problem with IPv6 support, and turn it off on our Macs. Now it's very stable.
I stopped using it for my wireless router, and now use it for AirTunes. Very seldom will it lag, and when it does it'll sync up again by itself. I really can't remember the last time it "weirded out" on me, even though some days I'll be playing music through it for most of the day.

Just in case you're still experiencing the issue. I've been having that happen with my early 2008 MBP for two years now. I seem to have found two half-solutions, see below. Please see if they work for you.
To recap:
*
*Rate is usually good (54)
*drops after minutes, sometimes hours
*rate is good in most all other networks I happen to be in
So, the first thing I noticed is that when I alt-click the airport icon the rate rises from 1 to a rate somewhat higher, maybe 2 or 4 or 8. It then usually drops again. When I alt-click several times in quick succession, I can get the rate to rise up to 48. But again, only to see it drop again.
My first half-solution is this: I found out that whenever I experience the rate dropping I can change the channel in my router from, say 1 to 6 or 11, which will usually resolve the issue. After I reconnect to the network things will be fine for a while (minutes, hours, sometimes a day or two).
My second half-solution is turning off all other wireless clients in the network. Whenever I'm alone at home and my laptop is the only computer running, everything's fine. I seem to be having the dropping-rate-problem only when other clients are in the same network, especially when one of them is using the network intensely. I'm almost certain about that now. Please try and see if removing all other clients "solves" your issue.
Whenever it is not avoidable to have other clients in the network, I try the first half-solution (sometimes 2 or 3 times) and it usually does the trick.
Incredibly annoying though!

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Using Hauppauge HD PVR and Mac Mini to Stream Game Video I recently acquired a Hauppauge HD PVR which my Xbox 360 is currently plugged into. I can record media from it using HD PVR Capture or use it as a TV Recorder via EyeTV. Unfortunately, I want to take the raw video stream, and hook it into something like a Justin.TV or LiveStream ProCaster for live streaming purposes, but I can't figure out how.
The PVR is not listed as a "video device" like a camera, so I cannot choose it as a video source. Since this is a MacMini, there are no registered video devices listed in any app on the Mini (say for example, iMovie's "Import From Camera" section).
How can I take the video feed going into my Mac Mini via USB, and re-use it immediately for any video-like purpose?

Argh, I wish I had seen this in time for the bounty.
I do broadcasts using Camtwist. Camtwist will become a video source and it does things like just broadcast the desktop. So if you have EyeTV maximized and Camtwist broadcasting the desktop and your flash broadcasted using camtwist as a source, you should be set! If you want audio, soundflower is good for that, but not quite as straightforward as Camtwist. Might have to play with it. But there are lots of good tutorials on this online, give it a google.

Did you check to see if you have an internet connection?
Did you restart your computer?
Did you wait a while and try back later? Apple could be experiencing a downtime when you tried to access their server.
Do you have a firewall on? Is the port open for iTunes?
It could be any number of things...Let me know if this helps!

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Can Safari remember my tabs from last time? I want my previous browsing tabs to be restored when restarting Safari. I can do this in Firefox and Chrome. Is there a setting or an extension for this?
EDIT: So it turns out I was killing (word choice?) the Safari browser (and the Chrome browser for that matter). When I just Quit the browser my previous browsing is always maintained... So rather than get an extension or anything I believe the solution is just to Quit the browser?

Just reopening after quitting Safari doesn't seem to restore the windows for me. (Or anymore?)
So to summarize:
*
*History — Reopen All Windows from Last Session or History — Reopen Last Closed Window
*SafariRestore, Sessions or SaveTabs
*Glims or Saft
*Bookmarks — Add Bookmark for These ␣ Tabs...
*In Lion there's Safari — Quit and Keep Windows (⌥⌘Q)

May I suggest, the free extension, Sessions. It restores last session and even saves sessions for later retrieval. It's stable with useful features like search, export, remove duplicates, micro-management, KB shortcuts & startup behavior settings.

Not automatically, but you can click "Bookmarks \ Add Bookmark for These 3 Tab" which will create a folder containing bookmarks for all the currently open tabs.

As mentioned in the edited question, the solution seems to be to just Quit (command+Q) the browser rather than killing/restarting etc.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Can the built-in OS X "Location" feature auto select locations based on wireless networks? My home network is very secure, but my school's wireless network is open, which makes it vulnerable to wireless sniffing (e.g. with Firesheep). I just discovered the Location feature and I think it's really neat, but it doesn't make obvious a way to automatically switch Location based on which wireless network is currently connected.
Is this something which it is capable of, and if so then how do I set this up? Otherwise I guess I will use a program like NetworkLocation to do this; I'd just like to avoid paying for a program if possible.

Since you mentioned Firesheep, let me put in a plug for Sheepsafe:
Sheepsafe was built to automate the task of switching your network configuration to use a SOCKS proxy whenever you join an untrusted network.
Sheepsafe works by keeping a configuration of known safe wireless networks. When you join an untrusted network, Sheepsafe switches to a network location that has a SOCKS proxy configured and starts a SOCKS proxy by SSH'ing into a remote server, thus protecting your browsing traffic from FireSheep and other snoopers on the local network. When you switch back to a safe network, Sheepsafe switches back to the default, trusted location and shuts down the SOCKS proxy.

There are a number of location switch apps that work along with the Location feature such as NetworkLocation and LocationX. A more recent release you could also try is Airport Location

Is the power button strictly limited
to turning on and off the keyboard
itself?
Yep. The wireless keyboard software detects inactivity and will go in sleep mode where it reduces power consumption, however it's probably better to turn it off if you know you won't be using it for a while. You must press that button for a few seconds. The light will show, then it will disappear while you are still holding the button. Then you know it is off.
When you turn it off that way it should display a notification on the OS X desktop, that the bluetooth device was turned off.
I'm not using one anymore. When I did, I would often forget to switch off the keyboard.
Now that I think of it it would be nice if there was an option for the computer to tell the keyboard to power off. That way when you shut down your Mac it would power off. I don't remember seeing such an option :(

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>How to configure OS X 10.5 to always open .WAV files with QuickTime? I use iTunes to listen to my music, all of which is in .mp3 and .aac files. I periodically want to listen to .wav files, however these are never music. Most often, they're voicemails sent to my by our VoIP system, but also my camera records audio notes in .wav files. I do not want these to open in iTunes, because then they get added to my library, and iTunes doesn't have the best interface for listening to files like this. I'd prefer to open them in QuickTime Player.
In the Finder, I did "Get Info" on a .wav file and chose "Open With" "QuickTime Player". I then did "Change All..." and clicked "Continue" in the "Are you sure you want to change all similar documents to open with" window.
I've done this numerous times. However the change doesn't stick, presumably because iTunes 9 is re-registering itself for the application of choice to open .wav files. How can I make this change stick under Mac OS X 10.5?

I saw this question regarding copy utilities for OS X, however the answers were skewed towards speed. My concern is ultimately file/data integrity.
rsync has proven to be very stable and effective throughout its years of Unix service. It’s included in any OS X since Tiger and it’s relatively easy to use.
If you want the bonus of a GUI, you can use Arrsync, a free utility better described as:
A Mac OS X graphical front end for the utility rsync.
If, on the other hand you want something more “easy to use” I can recommend you take a look at the two winners:
SuperDuper! ($)
Carbon Copy Cloner (Free, Donationware).
Either will allow you to clone entire drives or folders or anything you can imagine.
Their reliability to copy permissions, ACLs, and that stuff has been proven throughout the years.

The photos aren't automatically transferred when you sync in iTunes - you have to use iPhoto or Image Capture to get the photos on your computer.

The photos aren't automatically transferred when you sync in iTunes - you have to use iPhoto or Image Capture to get the photos on your computer.
You should be using iPhoto (or other digital camera software) to copy these photos onto your Mac, but just for sake of completeness, they are included in the backups that iTunes makes.
Those backups can be found in ~/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup, but you need a special program (iPhone Backup Extractor) to be able to read them (and that only works if they are unencrypted).
You can find your camera roll after extracting the area called "iOS Files" in /Media/DCIM.

The best way to get TV hooked up to a Mac is through a TV Tuner. The best TV Tuners for Mac are by far the EyeTV tuners. The TV tuner could also be used to hook up to your Wii, however that is a bit impractical. Instead consider buying an adapter from RCA to Mini-Display Port to use your iMac as a Monitor for the Wii.

Have you tried a full re-install of StarCraft? Have you ensured that you have all updates, particularly graphic driver updates, are installed?
Additionally, you can also find several troubleshooting steps at OS X Daily which includes a few close descriptions of the issue you described.

<|im_start|>other<|im_sep|>Page down in terminal How can I "page down" in the terminal?
In order to send a page up/down keystroke to the application, as opposed to scrolling Terminal's window, hold down the shift key while pressing your page up/down keys (or fn-arrows as appropriate for your keyboard).

<|im_start|>other<|im_sep|>Page down in terminal How can I "page down" in the terminal?
In order to send a page up/down keystroke to the application, as opposed to scrolling Terminal's window, hold down the shift key while pressing your page up/down keys (or fn-arrows as appropriate for your keyboard).
There are two answers to this question.
The first is globally useable. I'll assume you're on a narrow/laptop keyboard. In those instances, Fn+Down ▼ acts as Page Down, and just to expand that thought out entirely:
*
*Fn+Up ▲ = Page Up
*Fn+Left ◀ = Home
*Fn+Right ▶ = End
This will not work properly in some applications. Those that come to mind are things like vim, less, screen, and other "full screen/ncurses menued" programs. The above keystrokes scroll the terminal window, but if the terminal window has not been paged, then scrolling won't accomplish anything.
The second half of the answer is one that I can't answer without more detail.
Example:
*
*In less, the spacebar or ctrl ^+f will page down one screen full.
*In vim, ctrl ^+f will page down one screen full.
*In screen, you will probably never have to Page Down, but if you scrolled back in copy mode, ctrl ^+f works there too.
If I haven't answered your question, you will need to elaborate on it, heavily.

I'm not aware of any iPad specific apps for South African turn-by-turn navigation.
But, ALK Technologies, Ltd has iPad software for North America and Europe, and iPhone apps for South Africa - so I think your best bet would be to write to them or facebook them and ask when the South African version is coming out. If you're on safari and fleeing from lions and elephants I don't know if the iPhone version will be big enough to see clearly!

*
*Sync with iPhoto/Aperture is not an option: they wouldn't end up in the camera roll
*Opening from email or dropbox one by one and saving them is not an option: too many!
*A big email is not feasible
AirSharing and Dropbox apps are apparently of little help, since I couldn't find a “save all” command.
Any suggestion is welcome, third party apps too!

Check out an app called Folder Plus.
Very minimalist design, easy to understand and packed full of useful functionality. Seriously it is one of the best apps when it comes to working with files on your phone. Photos, music, videos, and even incompatible files can be stored and/or passed through the app to their destination. I think there is a free version and a paid version on the Apple App Store.
And there is a free OS X companion app that really makes quick work of any files you want to move onto or from your phone called Folder Plus USB. It requires Mavericks or later to run on your Mac.
For the record: I have no affiliation with the maker of this app in any way. It really is just a great little program that has gone under the radar for a long time.

Use AirDrop!
There's an (admittedly non-obvious) way to "select all" images in camera roll.
Follow the description given here: https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/use-trick-quickly-select-all-photos-videos-your-iphone-bulk-delete-share-0312925/
Basically select at least the two newest images by sliding over them with a finger. Then without lifting this finger, use another finger to tap the top of the screen. The screen will immediately jump-scroll to the oldest picture and all pictures will have been selected by this process.
Now you can AirDrop them as usual.

I've enabled FileVault on my computer and haven't had any problems yet, but I've read online that FileVault has issues. What are these issues? Are they out of date and fixed in Snow Leopard or are there still problems that I might have in the future?
I like the idea of my disk being encrypted, and it hasn't seemed slow to me, but I'd like to be aware of any possible pitfalls that currently exist with FileVault.

I like the idea of my disk being encrypted, and it hasn't seemed slow to me, but I'd like to be aware of any possible pitfalls that currently exist with FileVault.
There are a number of possible pitfalls to having an encrypted home folder; most of them are more-or-less intrinsic to the idea, so they're not likely to go away... ever.
UPDATE: Lion's FileVault 2 uses full-volume encryption rather than just home-directory, so it actually does make some of these issues go away and changes several others. I've added notes in [] below. Note that upgrading to Lion does not automatically convert to FV2; you must first turn off "Legacy FileVault" encryption for accounts using the old system, then turn on VF2 to reencrypt.
*
*Speed: obviously, the computer has to decrypt the data to read it from disk, and encrypt it before reading from disk, which'll slow down disk access. This usually isn't a big deal unless you're doing something like video editing. There's also a delay at logout as it recovers space in the image (and maybe also backs it up; see below). [VF2 removes the logout delay, and can use hardware AES instructions (on CPUs that support them) to minimize the general slowdown.]
*Too much security: the good thing about FileVault is that nobody can get at your data without your login password (of the computer's master password). The bad thing is that if you forget your password (and don't remember/haven't set a master password), you can't get at your data either. The recommended procedure is to set a master password (before enabling FileVault), write it down, and store the written copy someplace secure (e.g. sealed envelope in a safe deposit box). [VF2 creates a recovery key, which functions very similarly to the old master key. There's also an option to have Apple store the recovery key for you, although I'd recommend using that in addition to (not instead of) storing the key yourself.]
*File non-sharing: FileVault security prevents you from sharing files out of your home folder. Your Public folder, normally accessible by other users on the computer (and if you have file sharing turned on, other computers on the network) is locked in the FileVault and available only to you. [FV2 removes this limitation.]
*Risk of data corruption: normally, if your computer crashes there's a possibility that whatever files you had open could get corrupted; with FileVault, your entire home folder is contained in a disk image, and if that gets corrupted you could lose everything. IIRC both OS X v10.3.0 and 10.4.0 shipped with bugs that could corrupt the types of images used by FileVault (fixed in 10.3.1 and 10.4.1, but still...). So backup is very important if you have data you don't want to lose. [FV2 does not have the image corruption issue, but is still vulnerable to normal volume corruption; it will also limit your options for data recovery somewhat, as not all volume repair/recovery tools support encrypted volumes (yet).] Speaking of which:
*Backup time: backing up the FileVault image file is generally only possible when you're logged out. External volumes (like backup drives) get dismounted when nobody's logged in, creating a bit of a catch-22 for many backup systems. Time Machine gets around this by doing a backup as you log out (after the image becomes accessible, but before the backup drive gets dismounted), so make sure you log out with the backup drive attached from time to time. Other backup systems... who knows. In any case, test to make sure you're actually getting a useable backup. [FV2 removes this limitation. Note that Time Machine under Lion supports encrypting the backup volume, in which case it can only back up when the backup volume is mounted and decrypted.]
*Backup capacity: backup systems generally save space by only backing up files that've changed since the last backup. With your files hidden in a disk image, this isn't really possible. The image is stored as a series of "band" files (in "sparse bundle format"), so the backup system only needs to store the bands that changed, but since these don't neatly correspond to specific files in your home folder, it's still going to use more space than if it could back up the files directly. [FV2 removes this limitation.]
*Backup recovery: since the files you're likely to want to recover from a backup are hidden inside the encrypted image, they're a lot less convenient to recover from backup. When using Time Machine, its slick view-through-time interface doesn't work with FileVault-protected files, you have to find the backup of the image, mount it, and recover the file(s) you want by hand. Similarly, if you want to recover a file from an online backup, you're likely to have to recover the entire image so you can mount it and pull out the file(s) you want. [FV2 removes this limitation.]
One more note: to keep people from bypassing FileVault, make sure you have secure (encrypted) virtual memory enabled (in System Preferences -> Security pane -> General tab), and either log out consistently (yeah, right) or require a password immediately after sleep or screen saver (same place) and set the screen saver to run automatically when the computer's been idle for a while. There is an option to automatically log out after a period of inactivity, but this doesn't always work (a program with unsaved documents will generally prevent logout). [FV2 encrypts the virtual memory swap along with everything else, although the advice about locking or logging off still applies. Also, 10.7.0-10.7.1 were vulnerable to FireWire DMA attacks in some states, but this appears to have been fixed in 10.7.2.]

<|im_start|>other<|im_sep|>What issues might (legacy) FileVault cause? Edit: The below was written before Lion came out, so this post is referring to what is now called "Legacy FileVault", which encrypts only your home directory.
I've enabled FileVault on my computer and haven't had any problems yet, but I've read online that FileVault has issues. What are these issues? Are they out of date and fixed in Snow Leopard or are there still problems that I might have in the future?
I like the idea of my disk being encrypted, and it hasn't seemed slow to me, but I'd like to be aware of any possible pitfalls that currently exist with FileVault.
There are a number of possible pitfalls to having an encrypted home folder; most of them are more-or-less intrinsic to the idea, so they're not likely to go away... ever.
UPDATE: Lion's FileVault 2 uses full-volume encryption rather than just home-directory, so it actually does make some of these issues go away and changes several others. I've added notes in [] below. Note that upgrading to Lion does not automatically convert to FV2; you must first turn off "Legacy FileVault" encryption for accounts using the old system, then turn on VF2 to reencrypt.
*
*Speed: obviously, the computer has to decrypt the data to read it from disk, and encrypt it before reading from disk, which'll slow down disk access. This usually isn't a big deal unless you're doing something like video editing. There's also a delay at logout as it recovers space in the image (and maybe also backs it up; see below). [VF2 removes the logout delay, and can use hardware AES instructions (on CPUs that support them) to minimize the general slowdown.]
*Too much security: the good thing about FileVault is that nobody can get at your data without your login password (of the computer's master password). The bad thing is that if you forget your password (and don't remember/haven't set a master password), you can't get at your data either. The recommended procedure is to set a master password (before enabling FileVault), write it down, and store the written copy someplace secure (e.g. sealed envelope in a safe deposit box). [VF2 creates a recovery key, which functions very similarly to the old master key. There's also an option to have Apple store the recovery key for you, although I'd recommend using that in addition to (not instead of) storing the key yourself.]
*File non-sharing: FileVault security prevents you from sharing files out of your home folder. Your Public folder, normally accessible by other users on the computer (and if you have file sharing turned on, other computers on the network) is locked in the FileVault and available only to you. [FV2 removes this limitation.]
*Risk of data corruption: normally, if your computer crashes there's a possibility that whatever files you had open could get corrupted; with FileVault, your entire home folder is contained in a disk image, and if that gets corrupted you could lose everything. IIRC both OS X v10.3.0 and 10.4.0 shipped with bugs that could corrupt the types of images used by FileVault (fixed in 10.3.1 and 10.4.1, but still...). So backup is very important if you have data you don't want to lose. [FV2 does not have the image corruption issue, but is still vulnerable to normal volume corruption; it will also limit your options for data recovery somewhat, as not all volume repair/recovery tools support encrypted volumes (yet).] Speaking of which:
*Backup time: backing up the FileVault image file is generally only possible when you're logged out. External volumes (like backup drives) get dismounted when nobody's logged in, creating a bit of a catch-22 for many backup systems. Time Machine gets around this by doing a backup as you log out (after the image becomes accessible, but before the backup drive gets dismounted), so make sure you log out with the backup drive attached from time to time. Other backup systems... who knows. In any case, test to make sure you're actually getting a useable backup. [FV2 removes this limitation. Note that Time Machine under Lion supports encrypting the backup volume, in which case it can only back up when the backup volume is mounted and decrypted.]

Filevault has/had some issues in the past, but it also had some pros:
PROS:
*
*Easy to backup (one big image file)
*Protection from unwanted users trying to read your home folder.
CONS:
*
*Forget your password and you can start forgetting about your data. No way you’re going to get it back.
*If the image for your Filevault gets corrupted somehow, your data will be trapped forever in there…
*No recovery software will be able to read through the encrypted data, so forget about this.
*Startup/Shutdown times are a little bit longer due the cleaning and initializing of the image, the same with some big copies to/from your home.
*Free space for the image will only be reclaimed at shutdown (at least it was like that in Leopard) so you might want to restart every now and then if you move large amounts of data inside your home folder.
*Disabling FileVault: Some people have reported problem when disabling filevault (I’ve never done that to be honest). Some even quote that they had to reinstall OS X.
*Time Machine: Filevault won’t backup your home folder unless you logoff, it will happily skip it until you do that.
*Time Machine II: You cannot restore individual files in your home via T.M. (because they are encrypted and out of reach of TimeMachine) ;)
There are some more stuff you might want to consider that I can’t remember right now. Here’s a link that talks about performance (taken from SuperUser).
And if you want to backup your Home folder while using FileVault and while being logged, it is possible, but the backup will be stored unencrypted. Check this question.

One big one I can think of is that if you enable FileVault you won't be able to use the new Find my Mac feature in case your laptop is stolen.
You can only use one or the other.
Also, as you might've already found out if you enabled it some things won't be available via GUI anymore so you will have to use the terminal to work with the encrypted disk.
Finally, until Apple releases an update for Bootcamp if you plan on running that you may run into some major problems.

<|im_start|>user<|im_sep|>Do you have a better way to browse Windows 7 machines in Finder (SL 10.6.5)? Browsing the "network neighborhood" in OS X Finder does show XP machines, but not Windows 7 machines. (Vista machines have a similar problem). I can connect manually to Windows 7 machines ("connect to server" and then specifying "smb://ip_or_name"), but want to be able to browse Win 7 machines automatically.
Browsing works if security is lowered on the Windows 7 machines, and the OS X machine is forced to be the master browser. Question: Who has a better solution? I would like to find another solution without having to change OS X and all Windows 7 machines. Maybe you know some extra OS X software that "makes samba just work right"?

Windows 7 has extra network security options, and one of them sets its discoverability. By default in Windows 7, when you connect to a new network you are prompted for what type of network it should be: Public, Work, or Home. These profiles set up the firewall and security options when on that network; I can't off the top of my head list all the things they specifically set up, but when you select Public, sharing and discoverability are locked tight, whereas in Home they are more relaxed.
It's very likely that you have set your network type to Public on your Windows 7 computer. If you open the Network and Sharing Center, under the name of your active network it should say either "Home network", "Work network" or "Public network". If it is indeed set to Public (or Work), click it and then click Home network. You shouldn't have any problems after that.
Alternatively, you can open the start menu and type Network and hit enter. This opens the Network window, which lets you browse other computers on your network. As soon as the window opens, a yellow bar should appear at the top informing you that network discoverability is turned off; click the bar and then click one of the resolution options. This may fix the problem as well.
I haven't had any problem in OS X connecting to my Windows 7 computers that are set to Home network, as they should be. But a Windows 7 computer set to Public network should be basically undetectable.

There is a (paid) utility, it's called iPhoto library manager.

Generally speaking, this is metadata that's stored in the iPhoto Library itself; only the GPS coordinates are added to the photos’ file(s). So really, the only way to preserve that would be to either copy the library itself, or use the utility Agos recommended.
Especially when you mention you want to maintain originals + the retouched versions; that's something that the iPhoto Library itself can only maintain.
