    ftp "mount"

    I wonder what Apple's excuse is for not having better FTP functionality built into the Finder when that's exactly what the Go->iDisk command does. Is it just a crass move to maximize .Mac (now called mobileme, I guess) subscriptions?

    iPod touch shows wrong time despite new software

    I searched elsewhere and didn't find anything that worked in the long term. As for here at macosx.com, the search terms "ipod touch time display", "ipod touch clock wrong", "ipod touch incorrect time", and "ipod touch time change" all produce no results--other than this current thread.

    iPod touch shows wrong time despite new software

    The iPod Touch has an annoying and well-documented bug of changing its clock by 5 or 6 hours whenever it's synced. I had hoped that the latest software update (v.1.1.5, which I installed today) would repair this problem, but no such luck. Has Apple repaired this in v.2.0.2, and is forcing us...

    iPod touch: How to get rid of the software pitch?

    Ever since last month, every time I connect my iPod Touch to my Powerbook for syncing, iTunes forces me to say "no thanks" to the January software upgrade. This is annoying enough in itself, but now I can't even get the sales pitch to disappear by dismissing it. Both dismissal choices on the...

    PB G4 won't wake Apple Display from sleep.

    I'm posting this from the Apple Store. Looks like it's a power problem inside the display itself. Good thing I bought the extended warranty. They're shipping it off for repairs.

    PB G4 won't wake Apple Display from sleep.

    What is the "it" you're referring to "shorting out"? The graphics card? The display? The connector? BTW, on ElDiablo's suggestion, I've tried unplugging and re-plugging the DVI connector. He's right that it does no harm to the Powerbook, but it still doesn't make the display wake up. I've also...

    PB G4 won't wake Apple Display from sleep.

    I have a Powerbook G4 (1.67GHz, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4.10) with a 23" Apple Cinema Display attached. I've been putting the Powerbook to sleep at night, then finding in the morning that the external display will not wake up. This is especially annoying because I have the display (not the Powerbook...

    Can Airport Express enable Hotspot sharing?

    I've been encountering more and more hotels that provide wireless internet connections, but charge a daily rate for the service. When my wife and I are sharing a room, it seems really unreasonable to have to pay for two connections. Can I use Airport Express to be the MAC address that...

    Time zone & menu bar clock problems

    No, the lock is open, and I can make changes. The changes simply revert as soon as I close the preference window.

    Time zone & menu bar clock problems

    My Date & Time system preference is continually resetting its time zone to GMT. I can change it back to my time zone (PST), but my menu bar clock continues to show GMT. Each time I close and then re-open the Date & Time system preference, it has reset itself to GMT. I'm on an iBook G3, OS...

    160GB drive = 127GB formatted?

    Having done a bit more research, this appears to be due to the iBook G3 having an older disk controller. I wish the techs at the store had bothered to tell me that before selling me the drive.

    160GB drive = 127GB formatted?

    I just had a new 160GB internal drive installed in my G3 iBook. It's blank but formatted (Mac OS Extended Journaled), and reports a capacity of only 127GB (127.81, to be exact). Is this normal? Is this an issue that's specific to the iBook? Or did the store install a smaller drive than they...

    That's excellent. Thanks for all your help.

    Need a wireless print server recommendation.

    That seems like an excellent idea. I assume I'll need a Gutenprint driver, as those seem to work well with Epson printers. Has anyone had a good experience using Airport Express as a print server with the Epson R380? I found this link (from user gsahli), which seems to be a good walkthrough...

    Need a wireless print server recommendation.

    I'm going to buy an Epson R380 inkjet printer, and I want to be able to print on it from both my Powerbook and my wife's PC (running Windows XP). I also want to place the printer across the room from both computers, and we have an Airport network up and running, so a wireless print server seems...

    iTunes Artwork Screensaver Issue

    My problem with the iTunes artwork screensaver is a little different: it only loads about 20 pieces of artwork, and repeats them, even though I must have at least 400 artwork images downloaded (all of which display fine in iTunes). I tried deleting preference files, as shown above, to no effect.

    Album artwork screensaver not loading

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I have over 400 albums in my iTunes library, and most of them have album art downloaded for them. The art shows up in the player window in iTunes, but the screensaver only loads about 20 images and just keeps repeating them. OSX 10.4.8, iTunes 7.02. Hasn't...

    Your opinion please: Best text/graphics layout app?

    >If it's multipage... Ah yes, thanks for pointing that out. Multipage ability is important. Is Illustrator superior to Freehand? Or has Illustrator replaced Freehand?
