What Is The Point Of The Login & Keychain Update?
I installed Leopard on Friday.
It did not and still does not recognise my Username and/or Password.
I note that a Login & Keychain Update has appeared in Software Update, its purpose being to address login & password issues "where the password is 8 or more characters".
(1) I cannot install the Update because Leopard does not recognise my password.
(2) My password is only 7 digits long yet I'm still unable to access my iMac properly.
What's the point of issuing an Update for people who are unable to install it?
Hopefull you will have already seen other posts explaining how to get past the login problem. This worked for me:
1 Boot up from the install disc (hold down C key when restarting).
2 Launch the installer as if you are going to install.
3 From the Utilities menu, select reset Passwords
4 In the username field type: System Administrator (root)
5 In the password field type the password you want to use
6 Quit the change passwords app
7 From utilities, select Start Up Disk. Choose you HD as the start up disc and restart
8 Once restarted, select accounts from the System Preferences menu
9 Click the lock at the bottom left
10 When asked for username and password, enter System Administrator as the username and the password you changed earlier as the password
11 Click the enable user to administer computer check box for your account. Your account should now change from Standard to Admin.
After I did that I could log in and download the software update. I was connecting via Ethernet. However, once thte update was installed my PB G4 stated that I do not have an airport card installed (which I obviously do). I still haven't found anything that works for me to fix that. I have given up for the moment.
Hope this helps

What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?
Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//CheersAaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that? -
What is the POINT of the Creative Cloud App?
This is a bug report and a rant:
Every time the CC app updates, one or more of my Installed Apps disappear from it. With the last update, all but two disappeared.
The apps themselves (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, etc.)are all still there on my system, and run fine, they are just gone from the CC app.
So my question is not facetious - WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE CC APP?
Do we need it?
Do we want it?
Please - don't sing me the "uninstall and reinstall" song, I've done it over and over and it won't play.
Fix it or lose it!
ThanksIf you have very good lighting, the 0.7 MP camera takes acceptable photos. Light is all you can do.

The Culprit Unmasked: Login & KeyChain Update Version 1
I can identify the precise moment when my Intel iMac when berserk with Steve's blue screen of death.
I had done a clean install of Leopard on my Intel iMac 2.16GHz 2.5RAM. Everything was going great. UNTIL I checked for updates and installed the Login & Keychain update version 1. That required a reboot, and upon reboot, I, like others, could not get past the Setup routine.
So, for me, it is the Apple upgrade for the Login & Keychain update that totally screwed my computer.
The only way around it, for me, was to do a boot from the DVD by booting while pressing the C key.
I don't know why Apple is blaming 3rd Party apps for causing Leopard to fail. For me, it was Apple's own Login & KeyChain update. I had done a clean Leopard install, so I had no baggage from previous installs.p/p/s
I should mention how I recovered from disaster.
By the time my Leopard install was hijacked by Apple's KeyChain update, I had transferred to my Mac some unique data that I did not have backups. So, when Leopard crashed, I was in disaster mode.
The friendly fold at macworld.com forums showed me how to connect a 2nd Mac to my ailing Mac using a Firewire cable, making the sick Mac to operate in target mode. I was able to read the hard disk of the ailing Mac like an external drive, and retrieve all the date. That was a massive relief.
The night before, I had spent a sleepless night waiting in queue for Apple's help desk. -
What's the point of the grey space around an image?
I understand the point of the grey space around an image when viewing in 'Fit' mode, because the image may or may not fill up the viewing space depending upon its aspect ratio...
But when you zoom in to 1:1 mode, and you scroll around your picture, why is there still this large amount of grey space around your image? If I scroll to the end of my image, it should just stop scrolling, not scroll over the end of my image into this vast amount of unusable and unnecessary grey space!
It's just annoying that every time I happen to be scrolling around fast, I scroll over the edges of my image into this vast grey space & I just can't fathom the reason for its existence.
For a better picture of what I'm talking about, see here:
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/Lightroom/UnusableSpace.jpg
-RishiActually, it makes perfect sense to scroll in this fashion. It means that every part of the image can occupy the sweet centre spot of your monitor, even with all the panels open.
Try it. Even that important corner area of the image can be centred on your monitor. Particularly important when performing some spotting along the edges. -
What's The Point Of The Documents Switch In iCloud Preferences?
According to the help pages on iCloud.com, OS X users must manually upload and download documents as they wish to edit them. This is different from iOS devices as they get the latest version automatically pushed to them.
What's the point of the of the Documents switch in iCloud preferences if nothing happens automatically?It's a pain uploading and downloading from iworks.com
To me it's a step backwards from using iDisk, Apple needs to sort it out really -
What's the point of the x-serve?
what's the point of the x-serve?
of rack mounted computers in general?
Do buyers of rack equipment keep it as long as possible?
I ask that because i wonder how easy it is to sell rack equipment.
Seems easier to rejuvenate a computer parc if its composed of macpros rather than x-serves.
is it only to save space?
do the x-serves do things that the macpro can't?
(or the G5 x-serve than the G5 towers)The XServe really doesn't do anything that a Mac Pro cannot. It is more about robustness and a useable design.
Except for dual, redundant power supplies and hot-swappable drives - standard on the XServe, not available on the Mac Pro.
It's main raison d'etre, though, is its form factor. If you run a large network of, say, 200 servers you could, power permitting, fit them in about 100 square feet of datacenter space (40 servers per rack for 5 racks, @ 20 sq ft per rack), compared to 660 sq feet to house the same number of Mac Pros.
Since datacenter space is charged by the square foot, that makes a huge difference. -
What is the point of the Quicktime Player? Everything I click on in the player window prompts me to download iTunes.

what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.
There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app -
When waking from "sleep" the screen appears normal but, the pointer leaves a trail of grey as it moves and the whole screen will turn grey if I keep moving the pointer. The computer is effectively dead. Have to shut down by using power off for six seconds and then re-starting. I know little about computers!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) -
I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?
I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
I'm in the same situation. I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error. When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19. At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1. At no point did it say this was an estimate. At no point did it say it might change. In a big yellow box, it said "9-19". Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19. Seems like all should be good, right? Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!? I feel like this was a bait and switch. I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
So, that leads back to the original questions. Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order. Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY? With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.
You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
PSE has a specific feature just for that function. I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

Position of the pointer of the mouse
as I can obtain the position of the pointer of the mouse in an applet
I use "MouseEvent e" and then I use "e.getX () and e.getY ()" and it compiles well
but when I execute the program they make errors.
A piece of the program:
"public class ticker2 extends Applet implements Runnable {
MouseEvent e;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if(activo && (m.getX ()> origen[indice])
also use a "addMouseMotionListener" in the function "init" that I don't believe that it causes conflicts
Somebody knows where this the error or how should make it well.Try this,
addMouseListener(
new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if(isSelected)
System.out.println( e.getX()+e.getY() );
}); If it works I would be happy to relieve you of your dukeDollars :-) -
