Keep arranged by name in view options...
Posted by fatreg
still doesn't do what I want it to..
they are in a order I chose....
Mac stuff down the right hand side and windoze stuff down the left hand side...
I would like to stay like that but as soon as I save anything to the desktop if rearranges it all into one big list...
me no likey!
there was an app I saw that locked your desktop in place but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called..

If you UNcheck the 'Keep arranged by' option in Finder's "View > Show View options" window, it shouldn't automatically re-arrange things everytime you save something.

Strange thing happened... The top status bar (?) changed itself, for some reason and I can't do anything to put it back in the way as it was before!
Any ideas guys?
Posted by fatreg
what's changed in it?
Posted by chrisfirst
Oh sorry...the layout. I mean it used to be from the right to the left:
spotlight, battery, date and time, international, volume, airport, bluetooth and script. If I remember well. This new layout is really buging me and I have no idea why has it changed itself.
Posted by Jools
Just hold down the command key (to the left of the space bar) and drag to re-arrange them. They usually appear in the order they load after a restart.

Brilliant! Back in order! Thanks a lot!

The new iMac is junk. Apple is spreading itself too thin with silly (yet Nazi-regulated) diversions like the iPhone.
I hate Windows, but the $500 PCs on which it's installed keep looking better lately.

Not had an issue with mine, touch wood it's worked perfect which is a novelty as my powerbook and macbook pro had issues and had to be returned. Sorry to hear about it, have you not considered getting a replacment or sending it in for them to have a look at?
Posted by haynesycop
Ok so i've just made a web gallery and i was wondering if it was possible to post an empty folder to it so i can send stuff from my iPhone to it as i don't want to add them to the current folder?

Theres a native bittorrent, azuerus, tomatoes torrent and probably a few more.
Posted by parsnip
my favourite is transmission - it's almost utorrent for mac
Posted by p900 lover
but with torrents i have no idea ow to set them upl do i need to use a different program to download them?
Posted by parsnip
basically you find a torrent on google / torrent websites,
download the torrent file
open it inside transmission and it will be downloaded.
Posted by fatreg
if you're wanting to use torrents..
azureus is the kiddy..
lets you hide traffic and mask it..
if yo want something like acquisition.. only other thing I can recommend is limewire...

Hello dudes, I've noticed this problem with my iMac since i got it but i've learned to live with it but now is pi**ing me off!
Whenever i try to access a secure site such as banking, or bills etc the connection will slow right down and the page takes age to load and then sometime won't load???
I can browse other pages at the same time as the secure page is loading so its not my network connection.
Can anyone help??
Posted by Jools
Can't say I've ever noticed that on any of my Macs... Which browser are you using? Is it all secure sites, or just some?
If you're using Safari, try Firefox and vice-versa. If you're using Safari, try the "Reset Safari..." command.

Erm my wireless mouse has stopped scrolling upwards and i checked in system preferences and all the settings are right, anyone got any idea? It will scroll down just not up anymore.
Posted by Jools
Is it an Apple Mighty Mouse one with the little ball?
If so, there's probably some dust, fluff, dead skin(!) etc. blocked inside which needs cleaning out.
There's various methods for cleaning it. Some work better than others:

I've had to reboot in the past..
or re-launch finder
thanks for safari hint.. lemme see if it works..
Posted by haynesycop
I've tried relaunching the finder and it didn't work, will try the reboot once my download has finished been wiating ages, my speed fluctuates from like 0.2kbps - + 100kbps and it is rather annoying. Do you think it may be better using transmission rather than aquisition?

I've just opened disk utility to see if anything needed sorting. So i clicked verify disk permissions and everything was fine and then i went on a clicked verify disk. This is when i got the following;
Anyone got any idea what the hell this means because i don't. I've never actually run disk utility before which is rather stupid but hey ho.
Posted by fatreg
I had that and had to run disc utility from the OSX install DVD during boot up....
Posted by haynesycop
GRR how annoying so i have to install the DVD then? Damn really can't be bothered lol. Will it just detect the disc when i restart?
Posted by fatreg
Hold down the options key when you reboot and itll give you the option
Posted by haynesycop
All sorted now, thanks!

Is there anyone here using unison? I have been using it for a couple of days, it has been running constantly during this time.
I've just come in now and the 20 files that were currently downloading are now static. There isn't anything wrong with my internet connection. So wondered if it was the program at all? Whatever i seem to do when it is open ie press and option or anything i get the coloured wheel spinning and in the dock it shows as not responding.
I just don't want to force quick unless i know the files will still be there when i restart it?

also.. if you quit it, it will ask you if you want to save the list
Posted by haynesycop
It is indeed. I quit it before and it didn't ask me anything, but it seems ok now althoughi still get the coloured wheel if i press anything so will leave it be to get on with it.

FYI, Apple has acknowledged the freezing problem on the new iMacs. Admitting one has a problem is the first step towards solving it
http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/10/04/imac/index.php
Also, I convinced Apple to send me a replacement iMac. How best to transfer everything to this new machine from the old? Some have suggested running through the new Mac setup without transferring anything, then re-creating User accounts, then reinstalling apps from scratch, then copying data to those accounts. It's rumored this helps avoid the "freezing." Thoughts?
