Any way to permanently change the source?

Got an eMac and an Intel-based Mac mini, both running 10.5 with all current updates. The mini contains my iTunes-managed movie library. I can use Front Row on the eMac to access the mini's movie library, but I need to change its source from the local iTunes library (which is empty on the eMac) to the mini. Not a problem, but it's annoying to have to do this all the time.
Is there any way to permanently change the source on the eMac so that it always points to the mini?

Anyone? Anyone?

Any way i can change the region code after the fifth time?

I wasn't aware about the region code being lock after the fifth time.
Is there any way I can change the region code instantly?

No, the drive is permanently locked to the last code you used. If it's not on the one you would prefer, the only thing you can do it replace the drive.
Almost all drives you can get are region free. I couldn't tell you why Apple continues to use drives that require selecting a region.

Call Apple and ask. If they have not shipped yet due to backlog, perhaps. If they did ship already, return without opening and wait for silver model to be shipped back to you.

With Snow Leopard if you delete a file (put it the trash) and then do a secure delete it's gone.
The OP is adressing SSD's in particular. Neither Snow Leopard nor Lion have the ability to secure erase an SSD of a single file by user action. This because SSD's write data in pages, but can only delete in blocks. Secure emptying of the trash on an SSD is no different than a non-secure erase, as the controller will not permit erasure of blocks until the entire block is freed, which is almost never the case with even group file deletion. Erasure is simply the re-writing of the "allocation table" that the pages are no longer in use.
SSD's are only rendered "erased" of previous data after an indeterminate period of use, and re-use that would eventually free blocks for re-write, and then actually over-written.
TRIM helps speed this process, but does not alleviate the block versus page issue.
Some additional info.

Is there any way I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with?

My computer has recently decided to reject my iPod Touch completely from it's system, it has also deleted all the data from my iTunes library. It claims that my iPod has been synced with another computer and states that they can only be associated with a single computer. I was wondering whether there was any way of which I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with? Is it possible? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
- Example 1:
[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
- Example 2:
[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
Thank you for reading! Please help!

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

Is there a way to permanently change the input language in the login screen?

Whenever I start my iMac with Mavericks, after the boot is complete and the login window appears, I have the change the language in the top right corner from US to DE, else I can't type in my password. Mavericks does not remember this setting, next time after startup I have to do it again. The original owner of this Mac was using US as input language, so I guess that's where it's coming from. This extra step of changign language only takes a few seconds, but many times I forget it and try to enter my password but it will not work. There must be a console command or somethign that can fix this? Thank you!

I managed to find the solution myself. If anyone is interested, just follow those steps here:

Is there a way to permanently change the default video player to VLC?

I installed the QuickTime update and now all my AVIs won't play with sound. Downloaded VLC and they will play with sound. I went to 'Get Info' on an avi and changed 'open with' to VLC and selected 'change all'. They will open and play with VLC until I re-boot, then everything changes back to QuickTime. Right now I just hate Quicktime and don't want to use it. How can I change the default video player to VLC without Quicktime changing it back when I reboot?

Sounds like you changed it properly. The question now becomes, "Why isn't the change being saved?" Have you tried repairing your disk permissions? As to the original problem, it could be that the QT upgrade has rearranged the order of your stored codec components table called by QT. While this table is rebuilt each time the QT Player is opened, the table seems to be ordered from latest component installments to oldest. So there is the possibility that two (or more) components are allocated for playback of you AVI files and the wrong one now has priority. If you can find it (e.g., possibly Perian), you could simply remove it from the QT components folder and then replace it to again change the "build" order for the table. (Basically, you would need to run a component conflict test strategy here.)

Any way I can change the Grid view background back to black...

I really dislike the white/greyish color....

100% in agreement here: a b/w slider as in iPhoto would be the best option. It's much more jarring to scroll through my albums now, whereas it was a pleasure before.
And am I crazy, or did there used to be a slider to choose the album cover art size as well? How on earth could removing that slider be a good thing?

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

Any Way To Look At The History/Manipulation/Change You Did To A Picture?

I was messing around with a photo, doing all sorts of things. I got it exactly how I wanted it and saved the picture. Now, I am trying to make my next picture look the same way, but I can't remember what I did. Is there any way to see all the things you did to manipulate and change the photo on Photoshop? Thanks.

And did you set up the logging in the place that Terri_F has shown, above?
You'll have to set it to Metadata or Both.
You won't be able to see what you've done to an image that was created if the History Log preference was not already set while editing.

Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display.
I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

Same question.
I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.
