Can someone help me find some missing features?

There are quite a few features that I am unable to find in Leopard. Can someone please help figure out where they went or how to work around the following:
In iCal you can no longer open the Info Drawer to allow you to see the details of your events as you click through them.
Previously it only required one click to view Event info and 2 clicks to make an edit.
Now it takes 2 clicks to see info which pops up a window with the details in it.
Furthermore it takes 4 clicks to make an edit. 2 clicks (double click) to open the popup window, one click on the Edit button then a click on the item you want to edit. Plus one more to get rid of the info window. It only took 2 clicks in the Tiger version.
Or you can press the Escape key after you make an edit which commits the edit. Doesn't the Escape key usually mean Cancel? It does everywhere else I've ever used it.
Also:
Classic
Dock - position top
Dock - hierarchical menus for folders
Finder - draggable window edges
Finder - collapsible sidebar
Finder - change permissions of your own files without admin privileges
Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
Finder - use "Spacebar" to select the first alphabetical item in any window
Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
General - choice of colour for Apple menu icon (useful for flagging "root")
General - Ctrl-Eject Restart/Sleep/Shutdown dialogue (now only "Sleep" and "Cancel")
General - default high contrast menubar suitable for visually challenged
rc.shutdown - though there's probably an equivalent I haven't figured out yet
Netinfo Manager - There is no equivalent GUI App to perform the tasks that Netinfo Manger used to

Gone. Mac OS 9 has been dead for quite some time; Apple just got around to burying the corpse. If you need Mac OS 9, use SheepShaver.

Still a hack.

Gone, sadly. Hopefully they'll bring this back in a later update.
Finder - draggable window edges
The top and bottom bars are still draggable. Left-side and right-side window borders have been removed throughout Mac OS X.
Finder - collapsible sidebar
You can click on the little pill in the top-right corner.
Finder - change permissions of your own files without admin privileges
Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
Finder - use "Spacebar" to select the first alphabetical item in any window
I didn't even know that existed. Regardless, space bar is now bound to Quick Look, so unless you can change it in System Preferences's keyboard section, you might be out of luck.
Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
It's in the Search bar, when you start a search. It's displayed in quotes. (This should really be the default, IMO.)
General - choice of colour for Apple menu icon (useful for flagging "root")
This has never existed in Mac OS X.
General - Ctrl-Eject Restart/Sleep/Shutdown dialogue (now only "Sleep" and "Cancel")
I got all four options when I tried it just now.
General - default high contrast menubar suitable for visually challenged
Not sure about this one.
rc.shutdown - though there's probably an equivalent I haven't figured out yet
Netinfo Manager - There is no equivalent GUI App to perform the tasks that Netinfo Manger used to
NetInfo has been removed from 10.5 (probably to achieve the UNIX 03 certification; good riddance, I say). A few features have GUI replacements in Directory Utility, but the rest have been delegated to Directory Services. You'll have to use the Terminal to access most of DS.

    Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
    I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
    Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
    The last holdout is Adobe.
    Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
    Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
    Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
    Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?

    I get the exact same problem, and I'm quite sure I have everything enabled. I cannot download directly from a link either, I have to right click and pick "save as" for it to work. If i don't, i get the same picture icon in top left corner.

  • Can Someone Help Me Find The Right KVM?

    I have a tough set-up and I'm finding the search to be overwhelming. I'm hoping someone who's been through this before can help me find the best KVM for my needs. Here's what I have:
    Apple Dual 553mHz G4
    • Upgraded dual montior video PCI card (ADC and DVI ports)
    Apple G5 QUAD
    • Stock dual DVI ported video PCI Express card
    Monitors
    • 2 Apple 17" displays (ADC)
    • 1 Wacom 18" Display (DVI)
    I also have 1 Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter
    Can I find a dual monitor KVM to use between these 2-machines and leave the third monitor on the G5 only? How about 3-monitor KVM? What are my options here? I'm so confused by all of this.
    i really want the G5 to be able to use all three monitors at once. It doesn't matter to me how many the G4 gets. If the KVM doesn't work I'm just going to suck it up and buy a second video card for the G5 (and DVI adapter) and run all 3 monitors on the G5 and use Remote Access for the G4.

    with respects to the dual DVI KVM... there are a couple of options out there.
    as far as 3 monitor KVM, there really are no such products, however, there are DVI matrix swtiches that will allow you to manually (or through presets) switch any input to any output, to include mirroring monitors on various inputs. however, with anything DVI, there may potentially be hot switch issues with resolution and synch, handshake, peripheral control, etc...
    let me just shoot you a couple of links...
    for dual DVI KVM...

    sorry to just shoot a bunch of links to you. in my experience, i've generally just used VGA for KVM setups and also there are many pitfalls with compatibility in certain setups that are almost impossible to avoid without trial and error and blind luck.

  • Can Someone Help Me Find WebOS Doctor 1.3.5?

    Hey guys. I've kept my phone on 1.3.5 b/c of the bluetooth issues with 1.4. Anyways, my phone got stuck on the palm logo screen, and brought it into a sprint store to see if they could load 1.3.5, but they ended up loading 1.3.1 (doh!). I just want to doctor the **bleep** thing back to 1.3.5, but it looks like palm took it down. I have the 1 kb jar file (that downloads the larger file), but that wont even open b/c the link is down.
    Palm.  Why would you remove this!?  You are crazy for doing so.  
    Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

    If you need support from Palm I would suggest contacting Palm either via chat or phone support. The palm forums is a community driven forum and is NOT a direct support line with Palm.
    Although we do strive to keep an eye on things in the community it is not to answer questions necessarily, but to help identify issues (e.g. bugs), although even those are most effectively handled by contacting Palm support.
    This is a peer to peer community where it is encouraged to be between customers (customers helping customers).
    I'm glad you was able to find your answers on Precentral. Precentral is the same as Palm and is driven by peer to peer communication, they have a community that is quite large and is always willing to help.

  • Can someone help me write some ASP code please?

    Hello, I'm useless at coding, so would be very grateful if
    someone could
    help me with this piece of code.
    I've got a recordset which returns records with the following
    fields:
    CategoryName, ForumName, Last_Entry_Date.
    There are many ForumNames to one CategoryName
    I was using Tom Muck's simulated nested repeat which on the
    surface was
    doing the job, but it gave me problems when it came to
    styling the table
    because it gives me extra table rows.
    I would like to put each category in a separate table. E.g.
    Table header: Category Name 1
    Table row: Forum 1 Last_Entry_Date
    Table row: Forum 2 Last_Entry_Date
    Table row: Forum 3 Last_Entry_Date
    Table header: Category Name 2
    Table row: Forum 4 Last_Entry_Date
    Table row: Forum 5 Last_Entry_Date
    Table row: Forum 6 Last_Entry_Date
    I guess I need to say for each category write a table with
    the category
    name in the table header cell, then have a repeat region to
    display the
    list of forums for that category, but I don't know how to
    write this loop.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks

  • Hi i have pop up ads everywhere in safari and I'm new to using a mac can someone help me with some info on how to secure myself from this occurring

    Hi I need some help with pop up ads there everywhere in safari is there a anti phishing product i should install or settings that need to be changed I'm new to using apple and would love some help here.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Can someone help with finding Abode Australia phone number?

    This is my first experience at trying to purchase from Abode.  I placed an order for my son, educational discount, and went back 2 days later to send his photo ID as required.  I thought I did thi when I hit 'review and submit' but nothing happened.  I keep being diverted to USA when I try and find a phone number.
    It looks like a simple email about a problem to the relevant country (or to any country!) isn't an option??
    I wish I'd never ordered it, now I have to wait 5 days to see if they're going to post it or not - when I could go to a sensible site and have no problems.
    This isn't worth the $35 student discount! (off their full price).  Other sites have a full price almost the same as the student price anyway.
    I'm wasting my life.  Do they want business or not?  I've bought a lot on the internet.  This is pure crazy!
    Anyway, if someone is more proficient around this rediculous site and can post the phone number for Abode in australia (or an email address) I would be thankful.  I'll NEVER go through this again.

    Yes, that's what I remember reading.  Thanks for finding that link.
    Note the comment that seems pertinent to the Abode/Adobe question:  "At the same time, though, people are quite often unaware of these misspellings"
    I suspect this is strengthened by the fact that 'b' and 'd' are obviously similar.
    Note also that ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ has made a similar transposition...  Assuming he was trying for an upside down "pat", wouldn't a 'd' have been better than a 'b' - i.e., ʇɐd ɹəuəllıʍ?

  • Can you help me find my missing albums?

    I am an artist on iTunes. I have contacted iTunes support but have heard nothing back.Two of my albums, Peaceful Solo Piano from the Heart and Solo Piano for Love, Peace & Mermaids have disappeared from my catalogue both online and in iTunes. Here is the online link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/louis-landon/id5162009. If I search for each of the two missing albums, they are still available, but they are no longer connected with my name as an artist. They used to be there. Does anyone know who to contact or what can be done?
    Thanks!

    The iPod must be turned on and connected to the internet to show up in iCloud, so if the battery is dead there is nothing anyone can do to help find it.

  • Can someone help me find a particular photography app?

    I am trying to find a particular app and was hoping someone could help. It was an app i had on my iphone about 2 years ago. It was a photography app that you could take a picture and add a back ground pic and sound. For example one pic that we made was my nephew with bubbles floating all around him and it was playing some kind of relaxing music.
    Does anyone know what this app may be?
    Thank you for your help, Stacey

    Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I do not have it on my computer. The iphone was given to my husband and it was on there before. So I do not know if it was free or paid just that it was way cool, lol.
    Unfortunately I actually don't know any of the answers to your questions so I know that's not helpful. the only thing I know is that it has to be a few years old because the app was purchased in early 2009.
    I was kinda hoping that maybe someone would recognize it. I tried searching and searching through the photo apps but still have yet to find one that allows you to have a background sound and background effects in the picture....
    Hopefully someone will know what it is...

  • Can someone help me find a way to send RAW photos to Skydrive/Onedrive retaining their original file designation, i.e. NEF?

    I can obtain RAW files (NEF) from my camera.  I can then upload them to my computer and keep their RAW format. All of this is done through the cords with the iPad. However I am unable to load any of my photos up to any 'cloud' service.  The iPad converts all of them to some type of JPG file.  Is there a method or app that will help this process?  My goal is to protect my RAW images until I can do something with them. This includes the iPad for initial copy and I was hoping to use a cloud service for an additional copy.

    Both replies help to understand the restrictions of the iPad. JimHdk seemed to be a better technical reason for this issue.  The reality is I am not looking for more explanations as to 'why not'.  Is there a way around this?  I have read about a couple of apps that handle RAW files better.  But I am not sure if they will facilitate an export of the RAW file to any of the cloud services.  When I upload pics from my camera, they show up in 'camera roll' not iPhoto. If I use iPhoto the whole process is nothing but JPG.  I have to assume then the pics when then uploaded to my PC is acquiring them from 'camera roll' which leaves a collection of files in their original file format.
