WHAT IS THE POINT OF FOLDER IN DOCK IF YOU NEED TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FOLDER

Hi there,
If I put a folder of pictures on the new Leopard dock, can I trash the original folder? I want to keep my desktop clean and just have it in the dock but I think it will just delete the folder if I do that. If this is the case, what is the point of keeping the folder in the dock if you still need to keep the same original folder on the desktop or elsewhere on your hard drive? Thanks to anyone who can hep with this!

If it behaves as in Tiger, then the folder will indeed be deleted.

If the folder is on your desktop, then it's rather easy to access, but if it's buried on your hard drive, you my not want to open a Finder window if you need to access it regularly. Basically, placing a folder in the Dock creates an alias (shortcut) to the folder. But if you place the folder in the Dock and move the actual folder to your documents folder (for example) instead ot trashing it, your desktop will still be clean, and you'll be able to access your folder easily. IMO, it's not that bad…

  • What were the original speakers for the G3 B&W PowerPC?

    I am looking to get a set of speakers to go with the cherry 21" CRT Studio Display I picked up (it still has the clear plastic on the apple logos). What are the original speakers that would have been available for this computer? Will any of the the harmon kardon spheres or sound sticks work with this mac? What is a Digital Sound Port (is it just a fancy way of saying L/R/Ground/DC-Power on a four-pin jack like the appletalk mics)? Is USB 1.0 fast enough to run the spheres that were available with the G4 Cube? I am seeking historical accuracy without going beige. Any oldtimers that can remember that far back please offer your sugestions.
    Hooked on the Shape

    Hi, funkymonkeypie -
    The B&W G3 models did not come with any external speakers as a standard option; the only speaker they came with was the built-in mono one.
    All Macs prior to the G4 Digital Audio model (except the Cube) had analog sound out ports. The Cube had a special external USB amplifier arrangement.
    Not positive, but I believe the USB ports on the B&W G3 were USB 1.1, not 1.0, and are the same as the ones on the Cube. Don't know if the amp and speakers that came with the Cube will work on the B&W.
    Don't know the answers to your other questions - perhaps someone else will post in with those.

  • I bought MacBook Pro a year back I want to know what were the original specs of hardware of this product as I believe that I have been cheated s

    Hi, I bought this MacBook Pro a year back , as I am not a professional and for me Apple is a brand that one can buy any product while eyes shut. I told the sales man at the iStore is DHA, Sector H, Lahore/Pakistan, that I am new to apple and reason to buy this product is that I am going to learn 3dMax and Autocad and photoshop on this machine. He reccomended me this machine that I am using right now. After a year when I found a graphic instructor he checked the hardware and he said that the processor is very old and he was surprised. Herer are the specs :
    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro7,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MBP71.0039.B0B
      SMC Version (system):          1.62f6
      Serial Number (system):          WQ03******ATM
      Sudden Motion Sensor:
      State:          Enabled
    He said that knowing that I am going to use this machine for graphics, they have actually fooled you, Kindly tell me what are the original specs of this machine S# . I believe that iStores are licensed , kindly help me out, I have given a complete price , but it seems i just paid huge price of Apple sign and the body of this machine. Please help me and tell me how to take actions . I will really appreciate.
    Thanks

    Apple does not provide support via email or publish email contact addresses. You will have to use the other channels that are offered.
    What question(s) do you still want to ask? At worst, you bought a MacBook Pro that had just been discontinued after ten months in production. A week or two before you bought it, it was still the latest 13" model. If you bought it at the very beginning of last February, it was still the latest model then, and the seller didn't know any more than you did about the new models that would be released later that month. While it is a common practice among Mac resellers to offer a small discount on discontinued models after new models are released, resellers are under no obligation to do so, and in any case it is always up to the buyer to determine exactly what he or she is buying and to research whether or not it's fit for his or her purpose. Apparently you didn't do either. If you have any grounds at all for a dispute (which is doubtful in my view), the dispute is with the local reseller, not with Apple, who does not control the pricing or practices of resellers.
    You are probably finding, or have already found, that a 13-inch MBP with only integrated graphics processing is inadequate for the uses you hope to make of it. You will need a more powerful machine with a discrete graphics processor and a larger screen for the work you have in mind. Even the current 13" MBPs wouldn't suffice for that — a 15" MBP is the minimum that would do. Sell your machine to someone whose work will be less demanding, and get a new MBP that will meet your needs.

    Does anyone have documents or web sites about this?

  • What was the original software for iMac G5 17" 1.6GHz?

    I acquired an iMac G5 17" from a friend but it's missing the software. When I turn the computer on it gets stuck at this screen with a folder icon with a blinking question mark in the middle of it. What software originally came with the iMac G5 and is it possible to get that still? Or can I install a newer version of software without additional problems?

    The original Mac OS X version was 10.3.5. You can also install 10.4 or 10.5 from a retail DVD and not one which shipped with a Mac.

    computing nightmare

    i lost the original file
    This is what source control systems are for, especially off-site ones like GitHub or BitBucket.
    That code looks like Listing 12-11, where the outer function is called `Differentiate`, and the inner `diff`, because it is computing differential of an expression.  Your rename makes little sense save to obfuscate the intent of the code.

  • What was the original reason behind the 1.5 interface?

    Anyone knows? The fact that the update pops up in "Software update" makes no sense to me if it's only intended for a small majority of users. Any thoughts about why the MBPs were shipped "crippled" to start with?

    Right. But I've been using macs since 1984 so I know what to do when I see a firmware pop up but do you really think I'm in the majority? The majority is going to install the firmware.
    Yes, but 'the majority' are unlikely to perform hardware upgrades themselves, and so, will be unaffected in any case.
    So my original question was: What were the motives of Apple behind the original 1.5 interface?
    The answer above still holds - we are users like you, and have no insight into the thought processes of the engineers at Apple. You will not get an answer from Apple here. Of course, you are free to while away the summer hours waiting for one...

  • What is the Original File Number?

    When tethering, using the template  " Custom Name - Original File Number "
    is the "Original File Number" referring to the last (4?) numeric characters of the
    filename that is usually written when shooting to a CF card?
    In my case the files to the card are written something like "_W5N_7809"
    Shouldn't I expect the tethered renaming in this case to be "myCustomName - 7809"?

    Your EXIF viewier is reporting the same data twice, in two different formats. It first reports
    -- Camera Actuations: 155608
    and then later reports
    -- Actuation Counter: 24536
    -- Actuation Multiplier: 2
    The actuation count is stored only once in the EXIF data, but is recorded as two 16-bit numbers (max value = 65535). If the lower 16-bit value has rolled over twice, and currently reads 24536, the total value is ( 2 * 65536 ) + 24536 = 155608.

  • Pre-ordered iPhone 6 on 12-Sep at the online HK Apple Store. Clearly stated pre-orders could be picked up on 16-Sep at an Apple store in HK. Order shows shipping in Oct. Apple, you need to keep your word!

    I called the help desk, they said it was due to an error, and that the orders submitted on the 12th of Sep are for shipping (in Oct!) but orders that were put in today, are eligible for store pick up. This doesn't make sense, just simply do what you say on the site before a customer puts in their money! If it says store pick up, honor that! What is the point of having a pre-order if I am going to have to wait for it until October, when others can pick it up from the store because of incorrect communication on the Apple site?

    Sorry for your frustration, but you are NOT addressing Apple here.  This is a user to user forum and no one here is Apple, nor will Apple respond to you via this forum.
