Few questions from new owner

Hi all.
not been on for a while but im back now its upgrade time.
had my previous 9800 torch for 3 years and it was starting to show its age so i went for an upgrade.
first got a samsung s4 on saturday and within an hour put it back in its box and took it back to vodafone.
reason im so used to a real keyboard. so i changed it for a Q10
it wasnt the best move as im blind in one eye and the smaller screen is a bit of a strain. managed to enlarge text so things are on the right track.
questions i need advice on this time is:
1) how can i extend the ring when a call is coming in as ive only had 2 calls so far. the first time it rang 4 times and then went to answer phone. today it rang once and went to answer phone. on my torch i had it set to 6 rings but so far cannot find how to change it on the Q10
2) how can i change the background colour of the callender. default is black and im so used to white background on the torch. also for some reason only birthdays transfered across using vodafones little red box. no appointments,meetings or anything else i had on weekly repeat. instead of entering one by one ive started adding them into yahoo callender which are syncing to the phone but now yahoo callender has started crashing with problems. will get there one day.
3) how do i delete contacs from BBM as the only option i can find is clear chat.
4) why the heck did they remove the back button and the scroll.
5) i didnt go for 4G even though its only £5 a month more. is it really worth it. what will it speed up. if its just web brousing then i wont bother as i use a computer for that.
thanks in advance
Jim

Enjoy your Q10,
Mako[/quote]
thanks Mako
not used the wifi at all so its not that. thanks anyway.
[quote]For question 1 this must be an operator setting (not phone to my knowledge). At least this is the case in my country
For question 2 you can do it in the app settings of calendar and contacts since the 10.2 update
For question 3 ???
For question 4 it is a clear choice made by BB (related to the new OS10 interface/gestures and touchscreen of Z10)
For question 5 yes 4G is really a blast compared to 3G[/quote]
thanks Messagepads.
will get onto vodafone about rings. sure it was on the handset for the torch but of course new OS so different.
sure i updated when i got the phone on sunday but cant see any options. will double check it loaded properly as i had to connect to computer to download it and every few seconds the connection would disconnect. it said failed to download but then rebooted and then said sucessfull.
BBM i not that important as most people use whats app now.
i will still pass on 4G for now but may upgrade in the future.
thanks for the replys.

8 questions from new owner of Satellite Pro L300

Hello all forum users!
I bought a new Toshiba laptop, the Satellite Pro L300, and have until 14 January to test it - if it looks like it isn't working properly I'll return it to the store where I purchased it.
Here's a list of questions I have:
1. Every time I turn on the laptop or it comes out of suspended or hibernation mode, and when I turn it off, the cd/dvd drive makes a loud mechanical clunky noise.
It sounds to me like the carriage that carries the laser and optics is running into a mechanical stop.
Is this normal?
2. There is one hot subpixel on the display (blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and is not cause for return.
Should I be concerned about this?
3. When I run the memory test at system boot, it states that it will start windows automatically at test termination, and show me the results of the test.
It runs the test, starts Vista, but I don't see any results report.
Where do I find this report?
Is there a known problem with this test?
4. The Toshiba utility program to perform diagnostics from within Vista does not work. Every time I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get a Vista error message saying a fault was found in KERNEL32.dll.
Where can I get a fix for this?
I've already installed the updated files on Toshiba's web site for the 'Value Added Pack', which is where this utility is located, but still get the error message.
5. I would like to access the bios settings at boot, but haven't found the way to do it yet.
F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal system boot.
Esc doesn't get me into bios setup either.
There is a Toshiba bios utility I can run from Vista, and from what I see any bios firmware upgrades are also to be done through Vista.
Is there a way to access bios at boot?
6. I would like to run XP on this system and understood that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) was XP compatible, and that I should be able to download all drivers from Toshiba to run on XP.
Has anyone done this?
7. The laptop installed and configured Vista basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for 'Vista Business OEMAct'. I was sold this laptop as having Vista Business with the option to downgrade to XP Pro. The box didn't come with any cds or dvds, and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.
This is enough reason to return the laptop to the store where I bought it, which is a hassle I would prefer to avoid if I can install Vista Business.
Can anyone help me understand what is happening here?
8. Is there a way to contact technical support by email?
Thanks in advance to anybody that can answer any of the above questions!

> 1. Every time I turn on the laptop or it comes out of suspended or hibernation mode, and when I turn it off, the cd/dvd drive makes a loud mechanical clunky noise.
My CD/DVD drives make similar noise too from time to time. Not always but sometimes. I think this appears because the drives laser lens calibrates in the right position.
> 2. There is one hot subpixel on the display (blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and is not cause for return.
Well, you need an certain amount of dead pixels to get a screen replacement
Please check this FAQ:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm
> 3. When I run the memory test at system boot, it states that it will start windows automatically at test termination, and show me the results of the test.
There is no problem. I believe you mean the memory test while POST (power on self test). If there would be a memory fault then your notebook would not boot up properly.
> 4. The Toshiba utility program to perform diagnostics from within Vista does not work. Every time I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get a Vista error message saying a fault was found in KERNEL32.dll.
Hmm the Value Added Package contains the PC diagnostic tool for Vista. I would recommend removing the old VAP and reinstalling the new downloaded from the page.
> 5. I would like to access the bios settings at boot, but haven't found the way to do it yet. F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal system boot. Esc doesn't get me into bios setup either. There is a Toshiba bios utility I can run from Vista, and from what I see any bios firmware upgrades are also to be done through Vista.
The notebook seems to use the Phoenix BIOS and therefore pressing the F2 button should enable the BIOS. Press the F2 immediately after notebook has been powered up.
> 6. I would like to run XP on this system and understood that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) was XP compatible, and that I should be able to download all drivers from Toshiba to run on XP.
Such XP drivers are placed on the Toshiba European page.
>7. The laptop installed and configured Vista basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for 'Vista Business OEMAct'. I was sold this laptop as having Vista Business with the option to downgrade to XP Pro. The box didn't come with any cds or dvds, and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.
Never hear that this notebook would be delivered with Vista business As far as I know this series has been preinstalled with Vista Home Premium
> 8. Is there a way to contact technical support by email?
If you have some problems with your notebook you can contact your ASP in your country.

Few questions from new user of Macs

iSight: I gather that is a built in camera on the iMAc? Why does it have this special name, rather than just "Camera" On my iphone I have a "Camera" not an "iSight" What is the difference?

iSight used to be an external thing you buy for your Mac. I have one actually. They made it internal and kept the name. It had a name because the idea of a camera in your computer used to be new until HP and others copied it.

A few questions from someone new to Aperture (and DSLR photography)

Hi - I have just got my first DSLR camera (A Nikon D3000) and am trying out Aperture 3. I had a few questions which aren't all just necessarily Aperture related:
I have imported my library from iPhoto, however now all my albums are in alphabetical order, rather than date created. I only seem to have the option to arrange my albums by, "Kind", "Name" or "Manual". Any idea how I restore the date created order?
This may be too large a subject for here (I should probably buy a book on the subject), however JPEG, NEF and TIFF - I am shooting in raw mode which is generating NEF files. I had tried RAW+JPEG, but the basic JPEG this creates is really quite poor. The NEF files are generally around 7-12Mb. If I open them for editing in Photoshop, a TIFF file is generated in Aperture which looks to be over 8x the size of the original raw file, sometime over 100Mb. I then seem to be able to save it back as a JPEG at pretty much maximum quality which results in a file slightly smaller than the original raw file. Is it necessary to keep the large TIFF files once I've created a jpeg? Am I best off just keeping the finished jpeg and the original raw file in case I want to make changes?
When publishing to flickr, It would be good to be able to just publish the latest versions of all photos in an album. ie not the same photo in tiff, nef and jpg format. Is there an easy way to do this, or is it a case of manually picking each one?
Also - When uploading NEF files to flickr it would appear to convert them to jpg, which is kind of good I suppose, but does anyone know what level of quality the jpegs created are? Am I best off converting them to jpeg myself first and then uploading? If I did this then my albums would be full of duplicates in different formats, which leads back to my previous question about uploading just one version of each. That may be a question for the flickr forum...

You have jumped into the deep end with both feet.
With Aperture running select the single the Browser and you will find the sort controls under the Mobileme to New Smart Album icons depending on how stretched out you have the Inspector panel. There is the ability to sort by just about every parameter there either ascending or descending.
Can Aperture not convert your NEF files? You dont have to have Tiff files at all. See your Preferences regarding External Editor. How much storage space and your archiving requirements will influence your decision about retaining Tiff files.
I know nothing about Flickr but assume you will have to choose your own images. I doubt a Smart Album can select exactly what you need.
When uploading files online galleries generally optimise the images. You are wasting your time uploading massive Tiffs IMHO. Most web services work with jpegs I understand. Consult the Flickr help and support for their requirements and advice.
Enjoy your new hobby.
AW
Whether you have the room to save Tiff files as well as Raw files will probably decide whether you keep them or not.

Few questions from a new user

Hi Guys
I've had my 3gs 16GB for about a week now. I am absolutely loving it, but I have a few questions.
I am completely new to apple products. I had never used itunes before I bought my phone.
First question is about the battery. I know this has been greatly discussed and I have searched through the forums and have found just about all of the answers I was looking for, so this is more of a comment than a question. I was a little worried about all the issues people are having with their battery life, so I did a few tests. I am pretty happy with the results. I have the following settings:
wifi - on
notifications - on
brightness - ~40%
bluetooth - off
3G - on
push - off
fetch data - hourly
After 48 hours the battery is at 10%. Usage is at 5 hours which included mostly internet browsing on wifi, about 20 sms messages, and about 10 minutes of calls. This is about what I was expecting. The only question I have about the battery is about charging. I am going to charge it daily and once a month fully drain and recharge. I haven't found out if it is ok to leave it plugged in after it has fully charged. Do I need to take it of the charger when it is fully charged, or does the battery shut off and just use the external power source? Ideally I would like to charge before I go to bed and take it off the charger when I wake up.
Next question is mainly about accessories. I would like a good case that is minimal, but still providing protection from scratches. Are there any good recommendations or is it just kinda personal preference. Also, has anyone tried some of the screen protectors on the market? Can you tell that they are there, or do they give you any problems with the "touch" and "feel" of the screen?
Thanks

I don't use a protective case on my iPhone has I think it spoils the look of it. Instead I have a leather case that provides protection from the screen getting scratched and can be easily taken out when I need to use the iPhone.
The case I got has a soft velveteen interior which protects the screen from scratches. It wasn't cheap (£25) but it is well made and is lovely soft leather, and you can tell it will last.
Here's the link to it:
http://www.knomobags.com/eshop/knomo_product.asp?SS=5&C=84&CA=227&P=394
I have read though that some screen protectors can interfere with the photo sensors on the iPhone (there the 3 little dots that you can see to the left of the earpiece) whereby the screen will remain on or off when it shouldn't be.

Few Questions From A New

what's up? new creative user, just jumped on board in april with a Muvo Micro N200 GB and bought my little sis a 256 Muvo TX FM. I just have a few questions for the experienced users.
. What's the point of the Zen Micro? Spend 80 bucks on a 5 GB player when you can buy a 20GB player for around 200 (Zen Xtra), what sense does it make?
2. Why doesn't the zen touch come in 60GB capacity like the XTRA?
3. Why is the Touch soo much more expensi've than the Xtra?
4. Why are people still buying ipods when creative is >>> the ipod in almost every way? Show me an ipod with 20 gigs that can hold 0,000 songs, FM radio, voice recorder, and with a 24 hour battery life.
5. why is Cnet.com sooo biased towards the ipod?
6. WHERE is the zen sleek available? I checked amazon.com - not there.
7. what's the difference between the muvo micro n200 and the zen nano plus that I've seen in walmart? features are the same.
8. Why doesn't creative include some REAL headphones with their mp3 players instead of those pieces of feces that they come with now? After spending 300 for a 40 gig zen touch, I deserve some decent headphones!
dang, didn't realize I had soo many questions.

Okay, let me give this a try:
. Simple - the Micro is smaller. For many folks, convenience and portability are more important than capacity. Try fitting an Xtra in your front pocket.
2. Again, it's a size issue. The Touch uses a single-platter .8 inch dri've. In any player the bulk of the space is taken up by the dri've and the battery. bigger dri've=bigger player. The Touch was designed to compete with the itty-bitty Ipod.
3. The Touch is a newer model that incorporates the whole "touch" interface. Newer things are almost always more expensi've.
8. No company provides decent headphones with their player. Have you ever heard Apple's headphones? Part of this is cost, and part of it is that for many people, especially audiophiles, headphone choice is very personal. It is akin to why most bikes don't come with pedals.

My New Curve 8330! (few questions from a noob!)

So I finally got the Curve 8330 - I had been waiting all this time for the Thunder but decided yesterday that if my fingers are too fat for an iPhone, then they will be for the Thunder as well. Anyways, I LOVE the Curve thus far...just a few questions.
#1) Do the "messages" and "[email protected]" icon serve the same purpose? If so, which I think they do, how do I filter the "messages" icon so that ONLY my incoming SMS messages are shown??? As of now, the "messages" icon is cluttered with e-mail, SMS, bb mesanger & voicemail! I HATE THAT! I'd rather keep it clean and organized so that If i wanna view my SMS messages, I click on "messages" If I wanna view my bb messanger messages, I click on the bb messanger icon, If i wanna see my e-mails, I click on the "[email protected]" icon and so forth. Is there a way to filter it this way???
#2) When I send an e-mail, I automatically get THAT e-mail sent back to me! How do I disable this function? I have no need to recieve in my INBOX the e-mail I just sent out.... I tried going into "Messages->options" and turning the "hide sent" to "ON" but this problem still occurs...... Any help on that?
#3) I have this stupid "Facebook" icon in my menu, how do I delete this permanently?
Thanks everyone, I'm sure i'll have more questions as I'm readin through!

Yes, when you go into your messages and hit the menu key and select options and general options. Email and sms messages should be set to separate. Hit the back key to the right of your trackball to save. If you do not see an icon now just for sms and mms, do a battery pull. Take the battery out with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot does the icon appear now?

A few questions from a REAL beginner

OK, so I am very very very new to HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver and I have a few questions. But before I start let me just state that I have been messing around with HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver for like one week so take it easy if these questions are obvious.
1. Is there a way to create a type of "sign in" function that is relatively easy? Or do you have to have knowledge of many different scripts and languages to do so?
2. I would like to have an archive system where if I post an article on my site and then two days later i post another one it saves the first one i posted and can be viewed in some form over time. Is this possible?
3. If multiple people will be posting on my site is there a way I can have it set up where the articles automatically say "posted by _______" after each person signs in (If #1 is possible of course)
4. And lastly, this one is similar to #2 but is there a way to make a blog type setup in Dreamweaver? Yes, yes i know there is wordpress and I frequently use wordpress but you can only have on blog page per url and i dont like that. I am trying to be able to write multiple articles in a day and would like for them all to be reached pretty easily.
Thanks in advance to the brave person who will put up with my childish questions.
And just so you all know i would like for the person answering these to explain them as if they were talking to a child lol

Heya,
First you have to choose a scripting language in order for one to direct you to tutorials on how to use it. I recommend php as it seems to be the most widely used and supported. Then go over the the Application Development forum since that's where most discussions of this nature reside.
Whatever scripting language you choose you'll have to setup a database first. I recommend MySQL; again as it seems to be the most widely used. Then connect your database to dreamweaver through the Server Behaviors window. After that you can add server behaviors to help in your development. For instance Dreamweaver has server behaviors to create registration, signup, restrict access pages. Then you can have a page that uses a Insert Record, Update Record, Remove Record server behavior to add, edit, or remove blog entries into your database. After that have another page that uses the Recordset server behavior to get a record of the database. You can then display the record on the page by dragging the value of the recordset from the Bindings Window in Dreamweaver. There's also repeat region server behavior to repeat the record to show (all or) a set amount of entries like blog1, blog2, blog 3 etc. There's also a Paging server behavior to automatically create page indexes of blog entries so first 10 on one page with links to page 1, 2, 3, 4 previous, next, first last, etc. to show additional entries on respective pages.
Your best course of action is to have a definite agenda of development goals. First choose a scripting language, then setup your database. Connect your database to Dreamweaver, then add server behaviors. That's the workflow for dynamic development. After that creating your feature is basically only a matter of what server behaviors to use and what queries to run to your database. If you have any other questions about development it may be best to ask further inquiries in the Application Development forum. If/when you do ask in the forum about stuff like this then mention what scripting language and database model you're using.
Oh and also if this is your first venture into dynamic development then do yourself a favor first and setup a local testing server on your computer. What kind of computer are you using? Mac/PC and what OS version? There's different ways of setting up a local testing server depending on your computer and OS.
I am in the Application Development forum a lot so if you have any other questions regarding dynamic application development just hit me up there.
Hope that helps!

A few questions from a newbie!

Hello!
So, I am VERY new to using Mac productions and I just got my Macbook recently.
I have a few questions that may seem to have a very simple and obvious answer but like I said, this is all new to me...
1. Do I have to install a anti-virus/spam program? If so, which one?
2. Time Machine- this is the program to back up files right? when I try to set it up it doesn't give me any options for a back up disk.
Anything else that I should defiantly know please let me know!
Thanks so much!
Alanna.

Not unless you want to. I have had Macs for 2 years and never had a problem. This is a good one if you decide to install one. ClamXav
2. Time Machine- this is the program to back up files right? when I try to set it up it doesn't give me any options for a back up disk.
You need an external hard drive attached to use with Time Machine. This explains it.

This is info that will help you get the best life from your battery.
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate or for a few minutes to use in another room. Have you calibrated your battery yet? You should calibrate every two months or so to keep the battery fully functioning. If you use your MacBook infrequently, it’s best to re-calibrate the battery at least once a month.
It is best not to use your battery unless you need to. Some people have hurt their batteries by charging then discharging every time they use the MacBook. This will age a battery very fast and cause you to buy a battery sooner than you should have too. Don't discharge the battery just because you used it. Li-Ion batteries prefer small charges over big ones. Use it and then plug it in as soon as you can. The only time my Battery is ever fully discharged is when I'm doing a calibration.

A few questions from a prospective GarageBand user...

My sister got a new Mac last year, and I love messing around on garageband, but I had a few questions.
I have only recently started to mess around with the non software instruments (i.e. playing an instrument or singing into the microphone that is built into the computer)...I was wondering, is there any way to hook up a better mic to the computer so that I could get better sound quality??
Also, instead of using the keys on my computer, is there any way I could buy a synthesizer at a place like best buy and hook it up to the computer and play it with Garagebad??? Would I be able to use all the "software" sounds that come with the synthesizer as well as the ones on the computer? Could it hook straight up to the computer, or would I have to use a microphone to get the sound off the synthesizer??
Thanks for the help!!

I need a "controller" keyboard in order to play with garage band
a controller to record MIDI (play GB's instruments), if you want to use GB like a tape recorder you could record the audio from a synth (keyboard) into GB
I can't plug in an electronic drum kit that I physically use drum sticks to hit
if it's a MIDI controller drum kit, than you should be able to do so with a MIDI interface. if not, like above, you could use GB liek a tape recorder and plug an audio out of the kit into the Line-In on hte mac.
playing the guitar on garage band as one of the external instruments, what is the best way to do it??
use an audio interface:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#interfaces
some people find pugging a guitar directly into the mac, though most do not:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#pluginguitar
(you can certainly try, it's nearly free, so why not)
Would I have to buy a good external microphone and just put it in front of the amplifier that the guitar is plugged into to get the best sound??
that's the way i do it, and to really capture that amp sound, I think it's best, though it's a little more complicated because you can't really plug a mic into a mac, again you need an interface/preamp

A few questions from possible Apple TV newbie

Hi all,
I am interested in buying Apple TV and have read the product description on the Store section.I have a few question as I don't quite get how it works.
I watch digital/freeview TV currently on my iMac using a USB eye-TV thingy. Works Great!
I share WiFi connection with my neighbour to get onto the internet. Good speeds, good signal and works great.
I don't own a 'regular' TV Set.
Would adding Apple TV work here? Can I connect this and make it work or am I missing the point completely?
Any pointers to user guides, previous posts or tips would be great.
Thanks y'all.

Few Questeions from New Nokia N73 M user

Hi,
I have few questions as i just purchased a new Nokia N73 Music Edition.
1. How do i lock my key pad. Earlier i had Nokia 6300 in which the key pad got locked automatically. I could unlock when i wanted to use the phone.
2. How do i set up a image for a contact which will show full image (like in Nokia 6300) instead of thumbnail in N73
3. I want to setup individual ring tones for each contact instead of same one for all. Could not find a way any where.
4. What is the maximum size of a clip i can play. The other day i tried playing a movie of Real Player format of size 150 MB which did not play.
5. How do i get the Icons of my choice on the screen instead of the ones given by Nokia
6. How do i inclrease the performace of the Phone. This looks and works slower than my earlier nokia phones.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Ramgopal
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Left menu button then *, same to unlock
2. You'll need a third party application for that - N73 defaults to a thumbnail
3. Not sure you can ....
4. That'll be an issue with realplayer - I've had full movies (Divx format) on the N73.
5. Can't change the icons
6. Update the firmware - if you're phone is on pre v4 firmware, then update it with NSU - type in *#0000# at the standby screen to check your firmware revision.

Few questions from a beginner

hi there , i have a few questions first thing
is it possible to make every connector that comes out of a specific shape the same color , im building a map where 1 shape gives of multiple connections, i want them all to be in the same color, and the connections coming from the second shape are all in
a different color from the first shape
second question: how can i select all the connectors that pass in a particular area
i selected in the option select shapes partially in area, but it selects connectors that are NOT in the area that i selected
thank you very much for your help

There is no out of the box way for the first question but you can write a macro to do that.
Shape properties Shape.Connects and Shape.FromConnects can be used for selecting all
outgoing connectors of a shape programmatically. And then appropriate formatting (colors) can be applied on selection by selection.

A few questions from a new tech...

It is based on the conversion process of a Cisco 6500 Series switch (WS-Sup720-3B release) w/MSFC3 from a hybrid mode (CatOS/IOS) over to a native mode. I've found a few conversion processes online however, I do not know which process is the best to use (as some of them seem outdated) and detailed enough:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/12031-catos-ios-conversion-6500k.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/70273-70273.html
http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=102093&seqNum=5
Also, another question that I have is about the correct, most up-to-date software. Whenever I use the Cisco software download navigator to search for an applicable image, I see different images based on various network requirements. Are these images applicable to this process?
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=280829702&flowid=20135&softwareid=280805680&release=15.1.2-SY4a&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=ED&reltype=latest
Any help would be very much appreciated.

It depends on how complicated your configuration is.
When I did this a long time ago I just did it by hand ie. I didn't use a conversion tool I just created a new configuration in a text editor and then copied in the new configuration.
A lot of the commands in a configuration are defaults and you don't necessarily need to replicate them because you will get a new set of defaults when you convert.
If you have a lot of extra configuration eg. QOS then it may be worth using one. It really depends on how well you know what your switch is currently doing.
In terms of IOS image key things are -
1) feature set ie. you need a feature set that supports all the things you are currently doing
2) memory on your supervisor and whether you have enough
3) module support ie. you need to check the release notes for each release because they may not support all your existing modules

2 questions from new mac owner

Hello all,
I've found some good information on these forums and there seems to be a good community here, I'm glad I finally bought a mac. I have two questions:
1- When I copied many digital photographs from dvd's to my hard drive, all of the directories and files are read only. How do I change permissions to many files at once? Right now I am using 'get info' and changing pulldown to read & write. There has to be an easier way.
2- I use photoshop, dreramweaver, flashpro, blender, etc. Since these are demanding graphics programs, what should I do on a regular basis to keep things running at the best possible speed. I've read about setting up a few things to do automatically each month, but haven't found details. I'm an EX-windows user so I'm used to having to defrag, and do reinstalls from time to time, etc. Thank you and hello everybody.

You can use "Get Info" on the enclosing folder and change the permissions on the folder and all enclosed items in one shot. With the "Get Info" panel open, click the little disclosure triangle next to "Details" under "Ownership & Permissions". Select the desired permissions and then click the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.

The only thing you normally have to worry about is keeping a few GB of free space on the boot volume for swap files, etc. Mac OS X maintains its filesystems in such a way as to minimize fragmentation, so defragging is not normally needed.
