I just discovered a feature I find very useful. If I turn the scrolling wheel on my mouse while pressing the Control button, it zooms in on EVERYTHING on my monitor. It's a life saver, because I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to enlarge the text in various featur...
Since applying the 10.5.2 update (and the keyboard firmware update) I have had my MBP become very slow and unusable several times. In all instances, a restart fixed the problem. At first I suspected iCal because during the times when the system was extremely slow, I would see iCal taking up all...

Under Leopard, the "last key of the alphabet" (can't type it) stopped working.Strange thing is that it works in safe-mode and when I boot in Windows XP so it's not a keyboard hardware problem.Even stranger is that I just discovered I can type it in the "Subject" field of the "New Topi...

I have an APC Back-UPS ES 550 attached to an iMac running OS X 10.5.1. The Mac knows about the UPS because there is a USB cable between them.I see that Leopard knows about the UPS because it shows up automatically in the Energy Saver control panel as a power source and it reports the battery as...
So I saw all the blogs about saving space by using Youpi Optimizer to delete unused language packs in Leopard. Only problem is that now all of the menus and popups for all of my software (Safari, iTunes, Growler, etc. . .) are in another language! It appears Youpi deleted the english pack somew...
