Thanks for the reply. For the record, I definitey was *not* referring to URLs. I'm aware of the "%20" issue. I was only talking about files -- files that are intended for the average user to download. Just seems like an arcane practice -- and I bet most people who do it don't even know why they...

This question may be technically OT (and I'm not really a Unix or X11 guy), but I figured this might be the best place to ask this question: Can anybody tell me why people insist on using the "_" character in file names? Tons of people -- from software developers to the average guy who takes...

Aha! Didn't see that one at all. Sorry! :-)

Um, dude, we're talking about Safari, not Mail. :-)

Wow. Thanks for the detailed reply. Just a couple of things, though: 1. I don't want to delete my bookmarks. So if that's required to stop URLs from auto-completing, that's a problem. (I do sync bookmarks, however, via .Mac. But I'm not sure if the sync server would see deleted bookmarks on...

I disagree. AFAICT, the checkboxes in Preferences>Autofill have absolutely nothing to do with auto-suggestion of URLs in the Address Bar. I know -- you'd think they'd be related. But apparently they aren't. I, too, have been looking for a way to clear the auto-fill in the Address Bar. I...

In the menu that shows your bookmark folders, when adding a new bookmark, I've always wished that the folders were further indented than they are. My list is pretty long, and the current, "shallow" indentation level is difficult to follow. (See my "before" and "after" shots, attached. Of course...

I've got app that draws its menu extra icon too high in the menu bar, so I want to adjust it. I've done this kind of thing before, and I usually find the icons by showing the apps package contents. But I've already combed through this one's package contents, and can't find the menu extra icons...

I've got some podcasts in iTunes that I want to save because they're actually chapters of an audio book. But in the Description field, there are some typos I'd like to correct, and iTunes doesn't provide for editing of that particular field. I downloaded a few ID3 editors, thinking they might...

When I attempt to click the checkbox in the Get Info window, it "checks" then immediately "unchecks." Yet, the "Locked" checkbox works normally. Can anyone else confirm this bug?

Can't you plug the Mac in directly (via Ethernet, not wirelessly), just to get the update, then switch back to wireless?

By now, you probably know that Apple acknowledged an issue with joining wireless networks and fixed the problem in the 10.4.1 update. (I had the problem myself, while moving between my two Airports -- but 10.4.1 fixed it.)

Well, for what it's worth, the 10.4.1 update seems to have resolved the issue at my place. In fact, at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301517, Apple states: "Resolves a potential issue that could occur when moving from one access point to another within the same wireless...

I'm not sure that sound is in use. If it is, it's either mislabeled, or something else is amiss. If you like that sound, you could probably rename it to have the same name as the dock/trash sound, then replace the dock/trash sound with the renamed one. (But I'm not responsible for whatever...

I deleted two sounds: that awful, new "put something in a folder" sound, as well as the new empty trash folder. No problems at all.

It's not clear to which post you were referring. (In the future, you might consider using the "Quote" feature for clarity.) :-) If you were referring to my post, what I meant was I can only print to my 1280 if I plug a USB cable into my PowerBook. That is not my normal way of printing. Of...

My dual-airport system was set up by a company, here in Los Angeles, that does Mac set-up and support exclusively. They set up my my system so that I could roam anywhere in my house and have uninterrupted service from the 2 airports. It has worked almost flawlessly since they set it up, nearly 2...

Yes. But what if they have the same network name? (And that happens to be the case, here.) The system worked perfectly for a couple of years -- until I installed Tiger. Any further suggestions?

How about telling us how you did it (i.e., the location of that sound)?

I couldn't find them, either, and I don't have time to dig further. Desperately waiting for someone to announce their location!
