Weird box on desk top from ICal Info Window when using Expose

Whenever I use the info Window in iCal to enter some text in the Notes area, if I don't remember to click on the main window, or pretty much any other place in iCal afterward then when I use Expose to go to the desk top I end up with this wierd rectangle or square (composed of a thin white line) exactly the size of the text that I'd entered in the Notes section that is exactly the size of the text.
Is there any fix for this? Tiger is so appealing to the eye over all, one of the things I love about Mac, and that seems like a weird, ugly little glitch.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Michael

No, but I tried what you were saying and then yes, I see the little box that was around what I was typing in Notes is still on the desktop when I hit the F11 key. Cheers!

Go to Finder > Preferences > General > and in the top section where it says external disks check that the box is ticked. If it is check the connections.

ICal info window does not support html?

Greetings,
I have exported several files from WebCalendar (http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net/) to ICal and found that the "info" window views the html as code and not as actual content. I looked about for an option to possibly enable this, but I can't seem to find it. I'm suspecting ICal does not support this function.
Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.

OK, got that thank you.
If I understand the iCal specification correctly, this is not a compatible ics file. The contents of the DESCRIPTION should be text, not requiring interpretation. Your sample includes html tags - a browser will interpret them rather than display them, but ics files should just have plain text. So iCal is correct in showing you what it gets, rather than attempting to interpret the html markup tags.
You need to find a way for your webcalendar to export the file without markup. Note that you can't put a link (as you are attempting) in the Notes (DESCRIPTION) field - it will just be displayed as text. Even if you put something in the URL field, you can't directly click it, you have to click on the URL label and select go to location.
So, in short, the answer to your original question is that iCal info window does not, and is not supposed to, support HTML.

I can no longer turn on or off 32 bit to 64 from the info window.

I can no longer turn on or off 32 bit to 64 from the info window. I have done a total reinstall with system 10.6 and Logic with no results. I was running Lion but it would allow me to run my Tascam FW-1884. I need to switch back to 32bit on Logic to enable new plugins on my UAD-2 Card. My Question is was the 32bit to 64 bit switch available in version 10.6 or was it introduced in 10.68?

Turn on the option see by others. And it should be work fine.

How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function

How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function.
I purchased my Mac used. The former owners username prepopulates when I try to perform the updated function on the app store. It does not allow me to use a different user name. I have created my own username and password. I have even been able to purchase items from the app store, it's just when I use the update function it does populate with my username. Any help is appreciated.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Why am I unable to send emails or open folders from my Outlook email when using my iPad? My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from my laptop. This problem has been going on for three days now - everything was functioning normally before. I have looked at the standard troubleshooting suggestions provided by Apple, but they do not appear to cover this eventuality. I should be most grateful for any help.

Weird boxes in code view from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver MX

I have Dreamweaver 8 and my coworker has Dreamweaver MX. I
have an XML document save from Dreamweaver 8. When the document is
opened in Dreamweaver MX, there are alot of little boxes thrown in
throughout the code. For example commented code has a box after
each letter and each new line of code has a box at the start.
Here's an example of what I mean. (I will use "O " instead of
a box, because I don't know how to insert a box)
Dreamweaver 8:

Dreamweaver MX:
O<O!O-O-OHOeOlOloO OtOhOiOsO OiOsO OmOyO OcOoOdOeO
O-O-O>
As you can see this make the code virtually unreadable.
Does anyone know a way around this issue?
Thanks

I figured it out myself. For anyone else that encounters this
problem the solution is to. Open the document in WordPad and then
save it as a "text document". Then reopen it in Dreamweaver MX and
the little boxes are gone.

No Media Button using Palm Desk top 6.2 and Windows Vista

I installed Palm Desk Top on my XP machine today and noticed a Media Button. I have been using the same version of Palm Desk Top on MY laptop which runs Vista Home Premium. How can I get the Media button on my Vista machine?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

This version of Palm Desktop (and Hotsync) are from Access (the company that acquired PalmSource). Palm does not own these applications and may not have legal rights to modiify them any longer.
Access provided the absolute minimum and did not include any enhancements that Palm made to prior versions of these applications when Palm and PalmSource had better working relations.
Access is currently primarily interested in getting their competing operating system to market.

Crashes while trying to copy info from "Movie info" window

Hi,
does anyone experienced this thing also? When i play streaming media and try to select and copy info from "Movie Info" QT crashes instantly (QT 7.1.3)
Any idea
PowerMac G5 2x2GHz, PowerMac G5 2,3GHz DC Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Also, see this ARTICLE from the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, for things to look at with crashes and hangs. It covers the hardware, the OS and the software, and offers links for tuning up the system, and getting it ready for video editing. I know that there is a lot of material in there, but Neale has done a great job of putting things into a checklist, and offering links to other material.
That rec. is for use along with John T's links, which are a bit more specific to your burned DVD's.
Good luck,
Hunt
