Why not develop a "mouseless" and "barless" Lion
With watching the Mac Lion Video, I just found mouse is not very imoportant as old days; And, like watching the video, all the sidebars top/bottom the window can be hiden - why not develop a mouseless Lion and a new gesture to show/hide bars?
I get where you're coming from considering this is a $200+ purchase on top of the monthly plans, but they are free. Most phones don't come with headphones let alone a headset. If you're really that serious about audio, you may want to look into some Klipsch or Sennheiser cans. If you want to keep it in the Apple family, they do make a $79 in-ear headset which is better than the free ones. BUT, the standard headset is free. You don't have to use it.

I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing (supported by MobileMe), I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose! The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!
You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

Why not just do "Upgrade and Install"? From 10.2.8 to 10.3.5
Ready to install 10.3.5, but am a little overwhelmed with different advice. No one recommends the "Upgrade & Install" method. When researching many posts, was wondering why not? It looks like it won't affect anything on my imac G4 except to upgrade the necessary system stuff. Is this true?
Am mostly concerned about time - and having to reinstall printer drivers, my dsl connections, support files for OS 9.2 apps, etc. I am not having any problems with my 10.2.8, simply want to upgrade for the newer Safari browser, etc.
Thanks for any help.You certainly can do an Upgrade install of Panther over your Jaguar installation. It will not affect your OS 9 installation. However, before you do so be sure to do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, 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. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.6 for Tiger) 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.
As always you should make a bootable backup of your current system as a precaution. You can do this using a utility called Carbon Copy Cloner (www.versiontracker.com) and an external Firewire drive. -
Twitter notifications not working on iOS6 and Mountain Lion.
I have an iPhone 4, about a month old, updated it 2 days ago to iOS6. Facebook is working, I get my messages and recieve other notifications too, but Twitter is not. No notifications of mentions, retweets, new followers. I believe I've tried everything; re-adding my account, deleting the app, rebooting, checked the settings, - everything's on - I even tried changing my name and adding that!
Weird thing is, that when I go inside the Twitter app on my phone, and try to change the settings, - to get notifications from from "Anyone", instead of just "Follows" - when I quit the app, they all go back to default.
It was working just fine under iOS5, and started doing this about 3 days ago, so that's why I decided to upgrade it.
I also got a new Macbook Pro last week, and immediately updated it to Mountain Lion, I was excited about both Twitter and Facebook integrations. I recieve everything from Facebook here too, but none from Twitter. Did the same thing as on my phone, many-many times, still no luck.
As an alternative option, I set up to get emails, when someone mentions me, I recieve those, but this REALLY annoys me, because Twitter is probably my most used app. It wouldn't even bother me on my Mac, as much as on my phone.
Is anyone experiencing this? I'd appreciate any advice on how to get it working again!All working now! I have no idea how, but I get my notifications!

Safari 3.0.4 in 10.5.6 combo, why not 3.2.1 (and what else is missing)?
Due to problems with 10.5.7 update I reinstalled Leopard from DVD (via Archive and Install, with 'Preserve Users and Network Setting' selected), then downloaded and installed 10.5.6 combo.
I ran a Software Update check and installed the items listed (except 10.5.7). Ran another Software Update check and installed 2 more items (but not 10.5.7). A third Software Update check listed 10.5.7 as the only update (I didn't install it).
I checked whether my new system had retained the new 3.2.3 version of Safari (that came with the 10.5.7 update) or reverted to 3.2.1. I was surprised to discover the version was 3.0.4. I downloaded and (successfully) installed 3.2.1 from Apple, but 3.0.4 remained the version on my new system. I checked in Previous Systems Folder (on HD) and discovered, there, 3.2.3 was the version, but the Last Modified date/time coincided with the time that I installed 3.2.1 (just a few minutes earlier); it was a standard installation (to HD).
I moved Previous Systems Folder to Trash (to make that folder unavailable) and downloaded and installed Safari 3.2.1 again. This time it updated on the new system.
How many other 'things' are not up-to-date but Software Update can't recognize this?
I presume that Software Update check is allowing for the newest version of Safari to be updated via 10.5.7, but why was 3.0.4 on my new system rather than 3.2.1. 3.2.1 was released prior to 10.5.6 update. Thanks to my paper records I can identify that originally I downloaded 3.2.1 on 28 Nov 08 and 10.5.6 on 3 Jan 09.
Apple suggests that I can't be sure all previously downloaded items (such as security updates) are on my new system because, similar to Safari, updates included in 10.5.7 will "hide" missing items from being individually itemized by Software Update. Installing 10.5.7 is not an option at present due to incompatibility issues with my modem.
Apple phone support suggests I will need to manually find every update that I made to my previous system (details available thanks to my paper record) via the search bar at apple/downloads. Are they for real? Try searching for Safari 3.2.1 download? It took me ages to find (more like stumble upon) it.
Any suggestions/comments?Downgrading via Archive and install is notoriously unreliable. It is much safer to simply retrieve your backup you made before you installed the update after an erase and install. Of course you make at least two backups. Selective file recovery may be in order, such as found in migrating from PowerPC to Intel Macs:

Why not put all VMs and replicas in the same default folder?
By default, VMs are stored in \hyper-v\vm and replicas are stored in \hyper-v\replica\. So, when you failover, your new mission-critical VM is located in the replica folder. This is confusing and
its a pain to move the replica back to the default hyper-v\vm folder.
Comments and suggestions welcomed.It's your system. Do whatever you want to do.
But Replica is meant for DR. Most people wouldn't consider running out of the DR facility to be a permanent situation. I suspect they'd rather know at a glance whether or not they're dealing with an original or a replica.

I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
We could not complete your purchase
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
Thank you!
Zanjan FromerI have tried to re-install Lion
If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
***** Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion. -
Why can a person buy and/or download Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion but not Mavericks???
I am running OS X Lion on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with 4GB of ram and a 160GB HDD. I was going to download Mavericks from the app store but waited to long. Now that Yosemite is out Mavericks has disappeared from the app store. WHY? A person can buy and/or download Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion but not Mavericks??? And the kicker is that it was FREE!!! I just wanted to load Mavericks on my MacBook Pro to see how it performs. If I could live with any slow downs or quirks, I'd leave it installed. If not, I'd roll my system back. Apple's policy of ramrodding unstable product down our throat is BS. I don't want to use Yosemite until it has become more stable!
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless. -
I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running mountain Lion 10.8.2
Because line-in has been removed.
It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives). -
I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating
PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.

Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad. I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not? Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage. -
Hi can any body please tell me how to open the .exe files in mac and why it is not supported with unarchiever app , also i am not able to run and dvd's in my mac its not accepting any cd's or dvd'd why? do i need to do some pre defined settings to run the cd's and dvd's ?
A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps.

Protected from other developers
What is the best way to keep my code for an application or applet protected from other developers? I guess it is easy to decompile class files. Is it secure to package the application to jar-files?
