What's up with the Develop Safari menu item?

I recently noticed on this MBP a Safari menu tab labeled "Develop" which is located between the Bookmarks and Window menu items.
On my other MBP there is no such menu item.
I have the Apple developer installed on both boxes, so that's not necessarily the reason.
Under this Develop menu item are such odd items as
Show Snippet Editor
Show Web Inspector
and many other interesting items.
Does anyone else have this item and if so, how did it get there?
I just found out the answer myself.
It's selectable in the Preference->Advanced menu
Try it - it's interesting.

As far as I can make out the Develop menu replaces the old Debug menu. The Debug menu was somewhat arcane, requiring a 3d-party utility program or a Terminal command to make it appear. In early versions of Safari, I believe there was a means to send Safari bug reports to Apple (now moved to the Safari menu).
I used Debug mostly for websites that didn't recognize or weren't compatible with Safari. The User Agent option, that allows Safari to address websites as if it were a different browser, was very helpful. There was a period of several months, before my bank geared up for Safari, when I had to pretend to be using IE in order to access my account. There is still the occasional page that works best with IE, but that's becoming ever more rare.
In the current OS 10.5.4 (Safari 3.1.2), the Terminal command no longer activates the Debug menu. And, the User Agent option appears in the new Develop menu. Also, the Develop menu is neater, i.e., fewer, better-organized options and nicer windows. Finally, as you note, it's more-easily accessible, from within Safari itself, so I assume it represents Apple's most-recent conclusion as to how to deal with these "hidden" features that most users will never need.

What's up with the new Safari? I've done all the "tips". Still slow!

I've tried all these prophylactic measures and read an hour's worth of articles about the new Safari (Version 5.0, 5533.16 apparently). But it gets stuck on even the most basic of Internet pages.
Safari used to load eBay, Associated Content, TED, YouTube, Craigslist, StumbleUpon, etc. in mere SECONDS. Now all I see is a loading bar that gets stuck about 1/16 (just past the www....) in the loading process.
Yeah, I've cleared the cookies and cache and all the whatnots. I'm not a computer genius but I can tell something is going on. Is Apple keeping a secret record of everything I do or what? Seriously, this is frustrating!
To summarize:
I used to pop open Safari and get my homepage, www.google.com, in less than one second. Now I get a blank page that gets stuck, takes about thirty seconds, and then finally finds its way.
What can I REALLY do to make my new Safari work like it used to?
Or, how can I get the old version of Safari back?
And I've tried Firefox and other browsers, but they're messy and not as clean as my ol' Safari used to be. What's happening here?
I'm not impatient, I just can tell that something wrong is going on. And I'd like to fix it.

Hi there!
Thanks for heads up. My Macbook says I'm running 10.5.8 right now.
The steps I've taken:
I deleted the weird web icons document (I think it was a .dlb or .lb or something in the Library folder for Safrari in my hardrive) which didn't seem to do much, and I've went to my Safari preferences and deleted all ma' cookies, changes my cookie preferences to "only accept from sites I visit" and I've done the "delete cache" option from the Safari menu as well as the "reset Safari" option (which I regularly do anyway 'cause it seems to keep things moving quickly). I've also restarted my computer a couple of times, usually after completing one of these suggestions.
I'm using my computer from home on a wireless router thing from Netgear with super-high-speed way-too-expensive broadband Internet from our local provider, Charter. It's called a Negear Wireless Rangemax Router. I've never had a problem with it before, and 3-4 people use the Internet here at my home, often simultaneously, without difficulty.
I'm gonna' try pluggin' in the ethernet cable now. Thanks! I appreciate it!
--- I will say, after climbing up on a wobbly chair and plugging my laptop into the cable directly, that it worked a bit faster, but it still got "stuck" (which is what I'm now officially calling this phenomenon). For example, Google loaded in about five seconds instead of ten, and Safari generally responded better to random clicking around on links, but this page got "stuck" at "http://disc..." for quite a while (well, longer than your average modern day computer, I'd say; it still felt like I was on my old Powerbook) and then diddled around a while, until I refreshed the page and it loaded almost instantly.
I noticed, too, that the biggest problem it seems to have is loading new web pages that I don't visit frequently. For example, I'll search "Leo Tolstoy" on Google, click on the Wikipedia page, and it just stops! The blue loading bar gets to about "http://en.wiki..." and then it just plain stops. Just a few days ago, it would breeze along with super fast speed.
Thanks again. I appreciate your feedback!
Something fishy is going on, for sure.

Anybody know what's up with the menu.xml.files not being available for DW after installing on a new comp?

Usually that error can be cleared up by renaming the personal config folder. Turn on your OS's hidden files and then go to...
C: > Users > your username > AppData > Roaming > Dreamweaver (version) > your language > configuration
Rename the configuration folder configuration-old and start DW up. That should create an entirely new configuration folder and correct the menu.xml file.

When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
Thanks tons...

Thanks Terence,
I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

What is wrong with the idl code generated by packager.exe?

Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out what is wrong with the idl code generated by packager.exe. In the evaluation for the bug posted at http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4964563.html it says that the IDispatch interface is not exposed correctly and thus early binding of java objects is not possible using the current activex bridge implementation.
As I am no idl expert I have no idea what that means. However, I managed to dig out the idl code generated by packager.exe for the following example bean:
package test;
public class MyBean
     protected int value;
     public MyBean()
     public void setMyValue(int _value)
          value = _value;
     public int getMyValue()
          return value;
     public MyBean getSelfReference()
          return this;
}The corresponding idl code generated by packager.exe is
uuid(81B0BF63-2A55-11D8-A73E-000475EBF021),
version(1.0)
library MyBean
importlib("Stdole2.tlb");

};Does anyone know what is wrong with this code and maybe how to fix the idl code? Generating the dll should then be easy (I already tried several variations of the idl code but as my idl knowledge is limited it didn't really do what I wanted).

Then the question is why it does work with visual controls (even if you set them to non-visible)?

TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port.
Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Then try restoring the iPod again.

What is wrong with the cloned HD?

Hi, there,
I have a G4 Sawtooth, 1.3 GHz, 1.6 GB RAM, with an ACARD ATA-100. An 80 GB HD is connected to the ATA bus of the motherboard, and an 160 GB HD to the ACARD. I cloned Mac OS 10.4.10 from the 80 GB HD to the 160 GB HD. I could boot the 160 GB cloned HD to the window when I was asked about the name and password. I used the name and password, which I have with my original HD. However, the window just shook my password off. I used the installation disc for resting password, and found there was no name or password for the cloned. Besides, the box for entering the name was obscured in gray that I could not enter a name there.
What is wrong with the clone? What should I do to make the clone HD completely bootable?
Thanks.
Robert

Inasmuch as you've provided little helpful information about how you prepped the drive and cloned it, all I can do is suggest the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
