Once and for all: force spotlight to find ALL files, from the DROPDOWN

this is maddening. I want to be able to see ALL my files in the spotlight dropdown that pops down when I invoke spotlight. I know there are lots of posts on here on this, but none seem to help me much. here's what I want: when I click the little magnifying glass or press apple + space, and the little spotlight field appears in the upper right corner, I want to type something and have it search EVERY file on my system. I know, you open a new smart folder and click the plus and select "system files" "always include", etc... but that is not what I want.
in addition, I have tried to make a new "smart folder" (and Apple's definition of "smart" is just about the oddest one I've ever heard). I have the smart folder search all system files and all spotlight files (whatever the heck they are). I save the folder to the desktop and to the sidebar. I double click on it and guess what? both the customizations are gone, and I'm back to manually selecting them.
the folks at the genius bar are less than helpful, since I'm not trying to put pictures of my kid's recital on my iphone, so I hope someone can enlighten me here. thanks!

Hi

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Finding my files from the terminal in recovery mode

I have a problem with my hard drive on my Macbook Pro. I bought it a year ago. The system will not boot up, the disk shows errors in the disk utility and disc repair fails. The support tech I was working with says we have to wipe the drive and reinstall, but I want to try to find some files and see if I can access them and copy them to an external drive before I do this. The disk utility will not create an image because of the errors on the disk.
I am proficient with Unix and would like to try to just access the files and copy them, I just need to know where they are in the unix directory structure, assuming of course that they are anywhere as files.
Any helpful hints would be apprciated.
Thanks,

The files on the startup volume would be under "/Volumes/Macintosh HD", unless you gave it a different name. If the volume isn't mountable, you'll of course get nowhere that way.

Once-and-for-all Authentification in Finder / Terminal

Hello I need to install somethings (namely Font files … but this is irrelevant)
in a certain Folder not part of my User Folder (though I am the Admin of my Machine).
Should I do this manually, then must I enter my Password / Authentication upon each Action.
Unnerving!
I would like to be able to Authentify once-and-for-all (during a Session of editting);
then perform my Tasks, then switch of my Authentication.
(1.) Is this Possible (in Lion)?
(2.) When yes, how?
Note: I have vague Memories of doing this in Leopard (10.5.8), so this isn’t at all
a wildly improbably thing.
Thanks in Advance, should anyone constructively reply.

You should never have to enable the root user.
Tony Rombaldi posted this at MacInTouch. Give it a try:
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions, it doesn't actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder, where your documents and personal applications may reside.
In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here's how to access it.
1. Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
2. You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item, then select Terminal.
3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
4. The Password reset utility launches, but you're not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac's hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
5. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled 'Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs'. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it's done, quit the programs you've opened and restart your Mac. Notice that 'Spotlight' starts re-indexing immediately.

Once and for all: How to set up and use SSH

Yes, I know ssh has been discussed on and off, but never in its entirety; and yes, there are step by step instructions on the www, but at one point or another they skip a crucial instruction that would be necessary for unix-dummies (e.g. how to save and close the nano-editor in Terminal). So, please pardon my question:
There are several points I'd like to ask for ssh-connecting two macs on a local network:
1) In terminal-file-"connect to server" you can ask for an ssh connection to be set up. For this to work, do I need to create private and public keys first? If so, how? Please point me to a reliable and step-by-step instruction site.
There are some free ssh-utilities out there, but their documentation is just not helpful enough for a UNIX-dummy.
2) Apparently I managed to connect via ssh once (from the terminal, see point 1) to a local server (allowing remote connection set to ON at the server). But then, when I connected to that server from the client's finder and tried to get into my user account on that server it told me that no secure connection could be established. What's wrong here? Do I have to continue working from within the terminal to use this connection? That would be difficult for an average MacUser.
3) What is the security advantage of an SSH connection on a local wireless network (Airport Base Station) over WPA2, if at all?
4) And how to set up an ssh-connection over the internet cloud to safely build a remote control/desktop sharing connection, e.g., a friend's Mac when she has a problem?
Thanks for your consideration.

First I'm not sure what your goals are.
1) In terminal-file-"connect to server" you can ask for an ssh connection to be set up. For this to work, do I need to create private and public keys first?
If you have ssh keys, you can do this without passwords. If you have not exchanged keys with the remote system, you will be asked for the password of the user you are attempting to login as.
If so, how? Please point me to a reliable and step-by-step instruction site. There are some free ssh-utilities out there, but their documentation is just not helpful enough for a UNIX-dummy.
Log into the remote system. This could be via ssh.
On the remote system, run the following command to generate an ssh key for that remote system:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa): <<take default>>
Created directory '/Users/username/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <<enter nothing>>
Enter same passphrase again: <<enter nothing again>>
Your identification has been saved in /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:gg:hh:ii:jj:kk:ll:mm:nn:oo:pp [email protected]
This will generate an ssh key for the remote system. This could be any system that support ssh, such as a Unix system, or another Mac.
Copy the id_rsa.pub file from the remote system to your Mac. When I say "your Mac" I mean the one that you want to make the ssh connection from. The id_rsa.pub is found in the remote system's ~username/.ssh/ directory.
Append the copied id_rsa.pub to your Mac's ~himbear/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file
cat id_rsa.pub >>~himbear/.ssh/authorized_keys2
Now when you ssh to that specific remote system, it will NOT ask for a password. The first time you ssh to any system, ssh will ask if the system is really the system you thing it is. But once you say "yes", it will not ask that question again.
Repeat for every remote system you wish to log into using an ssh key.
2) Apparently I managed to connect via ssh once (from the terminal, see point 1) to a local server (allowing remote connection set to ON at the server). But then, when I connected to that server from the client's finder and tried to get into my user account on that server it told me that no secure connection could be established. What's wrong here? Do I have to continue working from within the terminal to use this connection? That would be difficult for an average MacUser.
MacUser. A flash from the past, as in the MacUser magazine.
ssh is not used by default when you make connections. If you want an ssh connection, you have to establish it intentionally.
ssh can be used to pre-establish a tunnel (or tunnels) that other services can use. Once an ssh tunnel is establish, connections to local host's tunnel port will be connected to the specified remote port. For example:
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900 [email protected]
will establish a tunnel that VNC can use. The VNC client would connect to localhost display 1 or port 5901.
ssh allows multiple -L tunnels to be specified on the ssh command line.
3) What is the security advantage of an SSH connection on a local wireless network (Airport Base Station) over WPA2, if at all?
Inside you home. Not much. Unless of course you do not trust the other members of your family. That is to say, others having your WPA2 password, and are thus on the inside, and can sniff you packets.
4) And how to set up an ssh-connection over the internet cloud to safely build a remote control/desktop sharing connection, e.g., a friend's Mac when she has a problem?
If you are using the Mac OS X Leopard built-in *Screen Sharing* and you are connecting to another Mac's built-in Leopard System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management (Tiger's Apple Remote Desktop), then in the *Screen Sharing* preferences, is an "Encrypt all network data" option.
If you wish to set this option in advance, you can launch *Screen Sharing* by double clicking on System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Screen Sharing.app
You can *Screen Sharing* connections over the net using iChat. This is one of the easiest ways to take control of their system. Of course they need to cooperate. I use a Free AOL Instant Messager (AIM) account for my iChat connections. And as a side benefit you can text, audio chat and/or video chat with the person at the other end.
If you are NOT using the build-in Mac OS X *Screen Sharing* and/or you are NOT using the build-in remote Mac OS X remote management server, then this is a situation where an ssh tunnel would be a very good idea.
However, setting up an ssh tunnel between 2 systems across the internet gets complex.
In this case you might want to consider using something like LogMeIn.com which will deal with all those nasty home routers without needing to to do nasty router configurations, and it will be a secure connection. LogMeIn.com will not be as fast as a *Screen Sharing* connection or a VNC connection, but it will be secure and easy to establish. Again, this is only if you can not to Mac to Mac *Screen Sharing* using built-in Mac OS X remote desktop.
Now if you want to roll your own ssh tunnels for VNC, then I'm just going to outline the things you need to do.
If the remote system is behind a home router, you need to configure that remote home router to "Port Forward" port 22 on the Internet side to port 22 on the target Mac. Bonus points if the internet side using a high number port to discourge net bots from knocking on your door. Use the ssh -p 12345 option to connect to the high numbered port that is forwarded to port 22 of the destination Mac.
On the remote Mac you need to run a VNC server. If this is a Mac, then Leopard System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management (Tiger's Apple Remote Desktop). If it is not a Mac, then for Windows, TightVNC, UltraVNC, RealVNC are possible options. Linux has a built-in vncserver, or you can install x11vnc which has the advantage of displaying the desktop screen.
Once you can access the remote system, you use an ssh command like the following:
ssh -p 12345 -L 5901:localhost:5900 remote.system.address
You can get the remote system's address by having the remote system surf over to http://whatismyip.com. Then they can tell you the IP address.
If you are going to be doing this a lot, you can get a free no-ip.com or dyndns.org dynamic DNS name for the remote system, and the remote system can run a dynamic DNS client (available from no-ip.com or dyndns.org) which will keep the dynamic DNS name updated as the remote person's ISP change's their IP address.
Finally, now that you have an ssh tunnel for VNC traffic, you have your VNC client connect to
Address: localhost
Port: 5901
Depending on your VNC client you may need to specify Display 1 instead of Port 5901. Or if you do not get a Display or Port option you specify localhost:5901

Once and for All ---- Please

Hello all,
I have used CF for several years now and bought Flex as soon
as it was released. In my process of understanding how Flex handled
Remote objects for CF I decided to use the CF Builder wizard for
Flex that creates all kinds of nice CFC's and stuff for me to
connect to a database and CRUD the data within. Ok all fine and
dandy on the local machine, works great, I am impressed! That is
until I try to upload the app to my Shared Server (HMS) and I get
all kinds of cryptic error messages like:
(mx:rpc:Fault)#0 error id = 0
faultCode ='Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail = "Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed :HTTP:Status 500"
faultString = "Send Failed"
message = "faultCode.Client.Error.MessageSend
faultString:'Send Failed'
faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.CallFailed: HTTP: Status 500" name = "Error"
rootCause = (Object)#1
code = NetConnection.Call.Failed"
description = "HTTP: Status 500"
details = "
http://www.MYDOMIAN.com/flex2gateway/"
level = "error"
So I have read the DOCs and read all the blogs I can find on
the subject but no one can clearly answer as to why I can not make
this work on a Shared Server if I can make it work on my local box,
Heck I can even tap into the MySQL database on the Shared Server
via the Flex builder. I use HostMySite.com with the CF package if
that helps.
If it is just a matter of something on my hosts end I need
them to configure for me that would be nice to know, or if I simply
can't use Flex and CF together on a Shared Server all together.
That would be nice to know. But for all the hype Flex is getting
and how easy it supposed to be to create an app with CF, I am
wondering why someone can not answer this question once and for
all. I know others have posted to this and many other forums asking
the same things I am. Is it too much to ask one of the Flex Gurru's
of Adobe, or anywhere else for that matter to help us out?
Not everyones wants to run their own server and I would think
that Adobe would have kept that in mind when creating Flex, and how
it would run on shared servers.
So please if anyone can help understand this please let me
know.
Thanks

Halodev / Peter,
I was JUST about to ask the same question. The problem I was
having was migrating a Flex app created on my local machine,
connecting with my local CF app, to a test (model of production)
server.
I knew the following:
1) The flex app worked as expected
2) The data was not an issue, as I mapped a datasource to my
production DB
My main concern was getting the Flex app to work on the test
server, but my biggest issue was the fact that the setup of my
local and test servers are different. Example, I have a single
instance locally, running off localhost. On my test server, I have
multiple JRUN instances on the D-drive (as opposed to the c-drive,
locally).
From this post, I figured out that I needed to change the
project properties to account for the different location of the
flex-config file. I right clicked on the project and selected
properties, and altered the values in the "Flex Compiler" and "Flex
Server" sections to reflect the TEST server locations of the
flex-config file.
Now, to make life hard on myself, the "d" drive on my laptop
is the CD ROM, and when I tried to enter the path in FB, I got an
error saying that the path was invalid. I looked into partitioning
my drive, but I was warned off it by our tech guy here (besides, it
seemed too much like real work!). SO, I burned a CD with the proper
path, just as a temporary solution.
I re-built the app, and deployed ALL of the files in the
local projects "bin" directory. It worked, eventually, but there
are some questions I have, maybe, Peter, if you read this you could
help.
1) I had trouble with SSL - my test servers use them (as do
the production servers). The SWF started to load but I got a 403
error (that is SSL related, I believe). I'm not sure if that was
when it was loading, or trying to access the CFC. Any thoughts on
this? Are there known SSL issues?
2) The whole "D" drive thing was a pain. As I mentioned, I
have multpile JRUN instances on my Test (and Dev) server - one for
each site. If I created a single generic site on the c-drive, would
all sites that access flex be able to use that flex-config file, or
do they need to access the local file? I'm not really getting how
the flex services-config.xml file relates. Maybe I'll re-read your
posts in this thread.
3) Do I need to copy all the files from the bin directory, or
is that over-kill? What is the bare-minimum code I need to get the
Flex SWF to run? Could I just copy a sub-set of the HTML to a
content management system?
Any help with the above is appreciated.
I'm not sure if I answered the original question, or
contributed positively to this post - I hope I did, and that
someone will find this information useful in the future.
Cheers guys,
David

Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

I will give $100 to the person who can solve this problem once and for all.

I'm not even kidding, dude. We can do PayPay, I'll mail you a check, whatever you want. That is how frustrating this is, that is how badly I want it fixed, and that is how much overtime I've worked lately thanks to being shorthanded at my place of biz-nass. I'm an hombre of my word, so if you actually come up with a solution that works, the cheddar will be yours. Okay let's hit it.
It's the skipping thing. First 10-12 seconds of a song - every song - will play fine, then iTunes skips, stutters, and basically does the god **** hokey pokey and shakes it all about. It happens most notably with songs that I double-click to play, but I'm pretty much noticing it on any song now after a transition is made. I've been using iTunes for ages and this didn't happen until the upgrade to 7.3. I have poured over these forums for nearly a week, tried every solution offered (even offered one of my own that actually worked for maybe four days before the whole thing started up again) and NOTHING. To save us all some time, here's what I've tried:
- Downgrading. I'll admit I didn't do this correctly at first. I didn't remove everything according to the support guidelines, but I went down to version 6.05 and that did nothing to quell the skipping. I upgraded back up to 7.3 because hey, why not, and attempted the remaining trial fixes. I have since removed both iTunes and Quicktime, step my step according the the guidelines, and not only have I downgraded to my current running version of 7.2, I put both of the programs on my F drive (as opposed to the default C drive), my gigantic bonus internal drive where I typically keep nothing but my giganto music library. I thought putting the app on the same drive as the music might fix things. I thought wrong. Dead wrong. Dead diddly dum iddly wrong.
- Quicktime settings. My settings for Quicktime have always been in safe mode with the output size at 16 bits. So when I saw this "fix" I just rolled my eyes. I used to have that dealio back in the dizzle when iTunes would just get all static-y and skip when I'd open other programs or even just minimize it, so that fix worked for that, but it's nothing compared to this. In simpler terms, that fix is like Superman, and this skipping? The kryptonite. Actually that's probably not a great metaphor, but we've got a ways to go and this is going to get mucho boring if I don't throw some chuckles out there. Ready for fix three? Giddy up!
- Turn off cross-fade? It's never been on. I never really got the appeal of that, and also I think it resulted in some minor skipping back in the d. I also attempted similar fixes like turning off the equalizer, messing with the volume, closing last.fm, REMOVING an old album art retrieval program from back before iTunes got its **** together with album art, ANYTHING that might interfere with playback was turned off, removed, b-slapped, and sent crying home to its moms. Nada.
- Recreating my library. This was the fix I offered someone else, because it actually did the trick for a few days. After an entire night spent reimporting 73 gigs worth of music, it played fine, but I did lose a ton of album art, playcounts, etc, so you can imagine how ****** I was when this wound up not being a permanent fix. I was beyond ******. I was livid. But I was taught in the dojos of my youth to channel my anger into productivity, and instead of sculpting a lovely bonsai tree, I set out to fix this pup once and for all.
- That darn anti-virus! This was the final fix I tried, even though I wasn't using any of the culprit programs listed in the forums as causes of the skipping, and even those offering this as a solution confessed it was pretty hit or miss. But having tried everything else, having resorted to playing my music on MediaMonkey of all things, I figured I'd give it a shot. I used (reason for the past-tense forthcoming) AVG Anti-Virus, Lavasoft AdAware and something called Spyware Doctor that I think just came bundled with XP. I removed all of them. I had just done a virus scan recently to see if that's what was causing this, so I figured I'd be okay until I could redownload them after this fix wound up not working. And it didn't work, so there's that.
There may be a couple of fixes I've tried that I'm forgetting now, since I'm delirious after spending practically every night for the past week trying to fix this problem, while my girlf, Heather, sits and laughs at me while watching Clark and Michael on her MacBook. In fact, she's laughing at the $100 offer as I type this, but I assure you, if you offer a solution that works, the money is as good as yours. If you come up with a workable solution, I'll have to test and make sure it isn't temporary like the recreating my library thing, but I won't leave you hanging once I'm satisfied that it's fixed for good. I know it's unorthodox, perhaps illegal in some states, but I'm desperate here, peeps. The ball is in your court, and I beg you not to give up the rock.

I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

I was recently searching in my iPhone 3GS for a phone number, and the search hits revealed text messages that I have long ago deleted and would rather not have in my iPhone. How do I delete these once and for all?

It was the strangest thing. You would think that once you delete a message off your phone it is gone.
But in the "search iPhone" feature several key numbers like an area code reveal phone numbers of people
who aren't in my contact list, specifically the first few words of text messages that I deleted long ago.
I would like to eliminate these once and for all.
Will "Erase Content and settings" do this for good? Once I restore the phone will they come back?
Thanks.

Account needs sorting once and for all PLEASE!

Hi, I have sent an email to moderators here as I did last time. Last time I was given a rebate, for incorrect bill. My bill AGAIN has not been worked out correctly. To be frank I am fed up of rubbish BT not sorting out my problems since September last year.
One thing cannot be done at a time, my whole account especially online is all in a mess, nothing is as it should be, and someone needs to go on a computer to go through it with a toothcomb to fix it. Rebate on a bill is not going to change the fact my bills are being generated incorrectly. STILL!
I wish to SPEAK by phone to anyone who can fix this as I am not going to continue this way with BT, and if they even try to charge me for no honouring my side of the contract, then I shall end up taking this up with a solicitor. I have even been charged £10 on my new bill for not honouring my direct debit, considering one of the foreign advisors had promised my bill would not go out my bank, but it did try to, twice and I was charged £50 from my bank, and you even try to charge me £10 for YOUR mistakes.
I am fed up. I have 8 months left on this so called contract. I do not intend to go on like this for that amount of time. I want my account sorted out once and for all PLEASE!
I apologise to you forum admin, and I know this is NOT your error, I am merely really frustrated at the lack of communication to fix my problems and have spoken via phone 3 times since my last forum entry to try fix my online account, and have been promised again it would be fixed and it is not.
Thank you

How to delete FOR GOOD, Once and for all, a podcast?

Hi I have subscribed to a podcast that I want to delete. I cal click on delete, it geos away, and yet the next time I start itunes there it is again? THis has been going on for a month now... so I hope someone can hlpe me get rid of for once and for all this haunted podcast.
Can you delete it from the folder instead of from itunes? I have never done something like this...
Please help! Halloween is over and this is not funny anymore!

This sounds like something having to do with Home Sharing rather than iTunes Match. Nothing will be downloaded from the cloud unless you specifically click the button.
There is a setting in the Home Sharing settings of iTunes that will copy music from one computer to another when ever iTunes is opened on both computers at the same time. I don't have multiple computers so I don't remember exactly where that setting is, but this KB article should be helpful <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819>.

Please settle this discrepancy once and for all re: maximum ram.

My old iMac SE DV graphite was purchased and delivered in January, 2000. The original order catalog (which I kept) claimed that it was "expandable to 512mb", as were all the 400mhz G3 slot-loading DV models in various 'flavors' including my Graphite Special Edition model. Also, both / all versions had the ATIRage 128 accelerator with 8mb SDRAM.
The only differences I can discern are that my Graphite has more ram (128mb) and had a slightly bigger hard drive (13GB on the graphite vs 10GB for the 'fruit').
Note: I have since replaced the hard drive with a 20GB since the original died within the first 2 years.
On this disussion site and other places (including MacWorld articles) I've seen conflicting statements as regards the MAXIMUM RAM my graphite should/could have. Some say 1GB (2x512) and some say 512 (2x256).
Can anyone once and for all, settle this question for me so that I can make an intelligent purchase?
(and thank you for the info re: PC100 as the way to go, not PC133)
Thanks & Peace to all.

At the time of its release Apple certified it for 512 MBs probably because larger DIMMs weren't available. In fact you can expand it to a max of 1 GB (two 512 MB DIMMs.) You will need 2 - PC100 3.3V 168-pin SDRAMs.
I can recommend DataMem as a reliable source for fairly priced RAM for Macs. The item you want is here.

Firefox does not print. I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING PROBLEMS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Firefox does not print. Mozilla doesn't seem to care to fix this problem, ignoring the numerous customer requests and pleadings for help. At this point, I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I honestly think the OP is making the correct decision to quit using Firefox due to all the print-related problems and Bugs that are in Firefox, '''that Mozilla doesn't want to fix'''. And there are more Bugs that affect only the Mac-platform (like the one where the user has to open a page in a new window for the 2nd web page printed from that window), than there are on Windows and Linux.
Users having to reset hidden preferences repeatedly isn't a cure.
The same 3 print-related Bugs in 2002 that caused me to take 6 months to switch over to ''Phoenix'' from IE 5.5, '''are still present in Firefox!''' I print nothing from Firefox these days without viewing Print Preview first, then about 10% of the time I do a "View in Opera" and do a Print Preview there - which shows a good print out 95% of the time (which IMO shows the page isn't at fault), and print it from Opera.

Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all

Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all
Hi and good day,
I don't listen much to music, but mostly audio files (radio programmes etc.)
But there is still one big drawback with iTunes:
What I want to do is to be able to __delete__ an audio file (or song)
on my iPad/iPod/iPhone (the Mac Library is there via Home Sharing)
once and for all:
I don't want to have to go back to iTunes and delete them there.
I want to delete them on the device and forget about them!
Please Apple it's about time.
Any suggestions welcome!
with best regards,
Omar KN

Hi
i would say use Skype http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
aMSN and Mercury only do video no audio, these are the only 2 progams that do video on the MSN network.

Once and for all: force spotlight to find ALL files, from the DROPDOWN
