I bought my copy of leopard today at Compusa...I realize the clear dock in some of the computers they have on display...I ask him and he doesn't have any idea of how this is done....
i found this out but it's not the same thing:
open terminal and copy this line of code:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
( if you want to bring back the glassy looking dock just change YES with NO, you need to restart the computer everytime to see the changes.

How did my mouse become cursor activated?

Help! I put new batteries in my wireless mouse and now my mouse has become cursor-activated!! In other words, I place my cursor/arrow on, say the red dot on a browser window and, without clicking, it closes that window. I place the cursor over some text and it highlights it on its own.
How in the world did this happen and how can I switch it back to regular point-and-click?
I've turned off the mouse twice, took out the batteries, re-installed the batteries, turned it back on and it's still doing it. I cannot find anything in the Finder or System Preferences to even select this type of mouse behavior so I cannot figure out how to revert it to normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's very difficult to do any work, surfing, editing today. Thank you!

Hi Eustace,
Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't work. I go to Users/myself/Library and there is only a file named Preference Panes and that file is empty. There is no plain Preferences file.
I then did a search in my Finder for "mouse" in the file name and no .plist files came up. Here's what did:
DOMMouseEvent.h (haven't a clue what this is but it originates in the Developer files and there's 2 identical files)
mouse_preferences.html (this originates in the Audacity program and I've never touched it)
preferences_mouse_extended.png (originates in Audacity too, doesn't open)
mouseevt.tex (looks like a blank page and doesn't open. Originates in the Developer files.)
and
XF86MiscGetMouseSettings.3 (both of these originate in the Developer files)
XF86MiscSetMouseSettings.3
I have restarted my computer, my mouse, my keyboard. This is really driving me nuts! lol It is also grabbing files on my desktop and moving as I move the cursor...which is NOT good at all. If it's not grabbing a file and in a blank space on my desktop, it grabs like it wants me to select a portion of the screen for a screenshot! Truly bizarre.
Could it be that my wireless mouse is simply "kaput" and I have to buy a new one? It never dawned on me that it could happen but...
Thanks again for your help. I'll keep trying things.

HomeFusion-how did $60/mo. become $80/mo.?

Background: wanted to upgrade from the original Novatel 3G Mifi device after learning that my rural home was now in a 4G coverage area. Other than our landline, we had no other Verizon accounts or devices.
Signed up for the HomeFusion system at my local VZW store - was told the total cost would be $60/mo. for 10GB/mo. with a 2-yr. contract. No equipment charge, no installation charge, no activation charge. Absolutely NO mention of a $20 line access charge to share data, presumably because we have nothing to share the data with.
System was successfully installed, and we were delighted at the speed of 4G. After several days, opened and read the documents that were emailed to me. Was alarmed to read in the confirmation letter that I would be charged an additional $20/mo. for "monthly access per device." Quickly returned to store to cancel the contract, well within the 14-day grace period. We loved the 4G 60 dollars' worth, but not 80 dollars' worth. Contract was cancelled, and I prepared to send the equipment back.
Was told by a coworker that he called customer service to inquire about HomeFusion, and was specifically told that the $20/mo. access charge would only apply if he were to share the plan's data. Posing as a new customer, I called customer service to inquire about HomeFusion, and I also was specifically told that the $20/mo. access charge would apply only if sharing data with other devices. For clarity, I asked what the total monthly charge would be for the 10GB plan with HomeFusion as our only VWZ device. The answer was $60/mo.
I confessed to this customer service rep that I had already activated and cancelled a HomeFusion account due to a misunderstanding on my part concerning the monthly charges. I asked if it was possible to unring that bell and re-activate the equipment. I was given the special 800 number for returning customers and proceeded to get my 4G back.
Got my first bill and yes, the extra $20/mo. charge is back! Calls to customer service have been fruitless. Now that the 14-day grace period is long expired, do I have any other options to make this company honor its original sales pitch?

I guess you're talking about this. IDK.

My Blackberry ID is not an actual e-mail address... How did it get accepted???

Hey fellow BB users,
Unfrotunately my Blackberry ID was created last year, using a mis-entered email address...
Its an address with a domain that doesn't even exist...
<<[email protected]_extra_characters_put_here_accidently>>
So I'm now on my final attempt (9/10) at guessing my password, after trying every possible combination of my usual ones...
Before I try my luck at it, I wanted to know two things.
1. How did an account become active without e-mail confirmation?
2. Is there anything else I can do, besides get my final guess wrong and initiate the security wipe???
Thanks!!!
Solved!

It is built in to do so...there is no requirement to Validate the account prior to use. However, one of the recovery methods does require that the account have already been validated in order to recover the account...unfortunately, that's the one you'd need to fix this, and so that won't be possible.

There will be no Security Wipe after the last failed attempt on this...refer:
Article ID: KB24157 BlackBerry ID lockout behavior
The Security WIPE would only be initiated after too many failed attempts at the Device Lock password, but not the BBID credential.
There is nothing you can do. With your situation, the "original sin" was the erroneous use of an invalid email address at the origination of the BBID account. There is no way to now "fix" that. But, refer (just in case):
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
What I predict will be needed is for you to indeed WIPE your device, then create a new (and valid) BBID account as part of the initial setup, then reconfigure manually everything on the device as if it were brand new. You will lose any purchases made under that invalid BBID, but that's the result of the "original sin".
Good luck!

How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?

Just drag it off the Dock and it will go "poof"
Look at the Options... when you click on it. Unless it got set to stay there, something you did or an app did caused it to be open.
Are there any windows open attached to it?
Is it set to "open on login"?
I use it but I do not have it or keep it on my Dock. It is found in /Applications/Utilities and installers may need to use it.

Pixelated images when in preview mode on iMovie, but when I pause it the images become clear. How do I fix this?

I just bought the latest version of iMovie and I am on 10.9.4. I transferred my slideshow from the old iMovie to the new one and almost all the pictures become pixelated when in preview mode. Yet when I pause it, the picture becomes clear. What do I do? It's driving me insane!

After more attemps at cropping Im noticing that the saved version is unzoomed, so if I move the zoom bar just a tad the image becomes instantly sharp. But sadly that doesnt help me because iphoto will only let me save it and post it online as the unsharp pixulated version. Can anyone please help me!

How to make the icons in the dock become bigger when I hover over them?

I see in my friend's Mac that the icons in the dock become bigger when the user hovers over them with the mouse pointer. Mine don't change when I hover over them. Am I missing something?

Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > then click on the Dock icon.
Check the box for Magnification:
Close the Preferences Pane and you should be good to go.

Ical icon become clear prior to machine freezing

I am running 10.5.7 on a macbook 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Occasionally my ical icon in the dock looses all of its color and becomes clear - just the number remains and it is black. When this occurs, the computer freezes. I had hoped the 10.5.7 update would fix this problem, but alas, it did not. Anyone out there have thoughts on how to fix this problem?

On both an imac and macbook I have had etilqs files appearing mysteriously in the hard drive. When these files show up it, the computer will then freeze. They signify one of two things: a) Firefox problem or b) hard drive failure. We've narrowed it down to a hard drive failure.
The characteristics of this failure are as follows:
1. Ical icon will become totally clear with only the date being displayed in the dock
2. Time Machine will no longer backup and the round arrow around the clock hour hands, disappears.
3. The etilqs files will appear in the hard drive.
The only fix for this is to install new hard drives in the computers.

How did I color my trash icon green?

Greetings! A Goofy sounds like a newbee question, but
it has me stumped:
How did I color my trash icon green?
All other color is perfect on all icons
in the dock and desktop.
1.5 GHZ G4 12" just updated to 10.4.10 a few weeks ago.
Running graphics apps mostly. No haxies on this Mac anywhere like Candy Bar or anything, just booted up yesterday and the trash can was green.
Nicely done like it was built that way.
Firewall is on.. don't think someone in the office is playing a joke on me.. but who knows!
Any input and or laughter is great!

Update. Restarting the Powerbook did not clear it up, logging out, logging in as another user, then loggin in as myself again did. Must have been
the Finder getting flakey, though it has been a green trashcan for a couple days, with re-starts and all. Maybe Oscar the Grouch was hidding in it!
Still would like to know how the trash can would turn green though
when all other icons were fine.
Goofy.
Thanks!!

In iOS 7 how did I search songs in my music library?

In iOS 7 how did I search songs in my music library?

How stupid is this design?! Unless you happen to be positioned the top of the displayed list (song, artist, album, etc.) there's no way you'd find the search (aka, spotlight) option.
Why not put the option in a non-scrollable area of the screen, so it's always visible?
As iOS 'evolves', it's interface seems to be becoming less intuitive. Sad.

How did you feel about your first mac?

As an early christmas present I received a 13 inch macbook air, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual core cpu.
I am mostly used to PC laptops running linux or often I put solaris on them. I study Computer Science and have Asperger's Syndrome.
I got my mac as windows had too much bloatware and Linux was too unstable on my 64-bit hardware (needed 6 GiB RAM for large compilations). I was going to use the macbook air to take notes and some minor work between classes such as writing assembly subroutines, C and java. The primary use of this system was going to be as a personal assistant to have my calendar and files etc.
The system is so powerful with a full 12 hours battery life when working on the localhost that it can out-do a 2.4GHz dual core with 6 GiB RAM PC running any OS. This system is now used for all my work due to it's capabilities and portability. After only one week with a mac I dont know how I lived without one, and my carer says it has made me show immense improvements day-to-day. I am now tempted to learn Objective-C as well as how to use Cocoa from Python to be more efficient, especially after seeing the perfection in this system.
How did you feel when you got your first mac?

A related question might be, what did you think about the introduction of the IBM PC?
I had been designing digital systems and working with computers for a few years before the PC's introduction in 1981. The mainstay systems were 8 bit Z80 or 8085 machines running at 4 or 6 MHz. They ran CP/M with its command line interface. Although the maximum memory these systems could use was 64 MB, being a single user, single-task operating sytem, even the most resource-hungry programs (word processors for instance) ran very fast. CP/M itself needed only a few K.
Dual floppy disk systems were common, 180 KB per disk unless you had double sided floppies - 360 K. The A drive booted the operating system, after which you could insert a program disk. The B drive held your data. I had one machine with a whopping 5 MB hard disk - the C drive. I treated it with special reverence.
When rumors began about IBM producing its version of a desktop PC, many people including myself had grand expectations. Clearly Big Blue would emerge as the leader in desktop computers, since they had the resources to dictate what the standard would be. Everyone knew the others would be left in the dust. What kind of processor would it use? How much memory? Would it have a slimmed down version of the multiuser, multitasking operating system used in its System/34 minicomputer? Or would it resemble something that DEC used in its PDP-11?
Well, when the IBM PC came out in 1981, needless to say it was an enormous disappointment. It wasn't much better than anything else I had already been using for three or four years already, except the PC was much, much more expensive. No hard disk unless you wanted to buy an upgraded power supply (more $$$) and then all they offered was 10 MB. Forget about multiple users or multitasking. It didn't even have the equivalent of CP/M's PIP. The whole thing seemed... intentionally crippled. This was supposed to be the future of computing? In my opinion it was a major step backward. The XT that followed it offered only minimal improvements. I rejected the IBM PC as not cost effective and kept using my CP/M dinosaurs.
So, when Apple introduced the Macintosh a couple years later I finally saw, in the flesh, what I thought a computer ought to be. A totally bit mapped display, a robust 16/32 bit processor, real sound capability (everything before it could only "beep") and a true graphical UI. You could name a file anything you want, no 8x3 idiocy. +To this day+ Windows carries remnants of 8x3 filenames!
The Macintosh blew away the PC, if not in performance, in its potential. Unlike the "crippled" PC the Mac seemed limitless. This was cool. The Mac wasn't without limitations though - there was no good way to install a hard disk for instance - but for some reason I considered those limitations trivial and believed they would be overcome in the near future. I waited for the first "upgrade" - the "Fat Mac" with a whopping 512K memory. Half a megabyte!
I used that computer for several years, until the SE/30 came out, which I kept in service for about ten years. I ultimately expanded its memory to 32 MB while PC users were struggling with extended memory or expanded memory - you had to know which was which - to get beyond the PC's stupid 640K barrier. My 30 MB HD eventually grew small, but that was easily remedied with an external SCSI drive. Although the computer did everything I ever expected it to do, the Internet eventually made it functionally obsolete. It could run a browser (forget which one) but the black and white limitation made it marginally useful.
I eventually replaced it with an iMac, which echoed the original Mac's introduction with its forward-thinking design. The iMac opened up a new world in much the same way the original Macintosh did in 1984.
All my Macs still work.

That pretty much sums it up.
In retrospect, I believe that IBM and its marriage of convenience with Microsoft delayed the evolution of desktop computing a decade or more. I cringe whenever I think of the aggregate productivity loss and utter frustration shared by millions of PC / Windows devotees all these years.

How do I remove email address not in contact list.they drop down when in the "to"field trying to either fwd ,send or reply. How did they get there in the first place. And the edit key does not show in my contacts

When sending email wether reply or fwd or new addresses drop down that not show in my contacts. How do,I remove them and how did they get there? And the edit key notmshowing in my contacts.
Someone else's reply nothing that could be done short of clearing out all contacts and starting over. But these are not in my contacts!!!!!!!!!! So,that is not an answer

So are you telling me that anyone I ever send n email to will appear in the drop down list but not in contacts? I don't have that many contacts on list so are younsayingmi would have to remove them all to remove the unwanted address in the drop down to go away? If that is not please explain

How did YOU learn Java?

Ok, two part question and a bunch of help for this Java newbie:
1. How did you learn Java? Online tutorials, books, discussions, a game, or a class? Be specific and think back to when you looked at a Java program and went "wtf?"
2. How do you keep up the new versions and therefore, useless older classes? I am reading the list on JDK 1.4 and just thinking, how could I remember all of this? If I'm used to programming one way, how can I relearn for every version?
If I could just get some honest answers and opinions, it'd be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Get this:
I originally 'learned' Java from "Java Made Simple" by Peter McBride. "Made Simple" is right: having finished this book, I had no idea that you could design your own classes for use by other classes! All my methods were static, I'd never written a constructor or instantiated one of my own classes, and my applications were all contained in a single class! I had only the vaguest notion of what "object oriented" meant, and I wondered why, for example, you had to say
Integer x = new Integer(4);
but not
int x = new int(4);
The book was intended, I think, for non-programmers who have been given some free space by their ISP to design a web page, and want to add some v. simple applets for decoration. Beware of books like this if you want to learn Java in a serious way.
For a more positive tip, I recommend Sun's very own online Java Tutorial. It covers all the key topics thoroughly and clearly, so at the end you have a good understanding of Java (More than just the basics, I'd say). If you want to move on to more advanced topics this tutorial will probably stand you in good stead (I can't be certain as I haven't moved on from here yet myself), but if you don't you will still be able to write good amateur programs.
