I am excited about the release of Snow Leopard. I just got my mac a few months ago and was hesitant because Snow Leopard was coming, but at that price I am biting day one easily.

It does, it just fails at it sometimes.

Fails as in you have to try and extract it a second time or as in it won't do it at all for that archive?

Since we're on the topic of that book is there any big difference of the missing manual vs. the missing manual switching from windows? Would you recommend one over the other?

How is the manual written? If there was something I wanted to do on mac that I did on windows I would just have to know what it's called and I could find it in the regular missing manual I would assume right? Like I asked before what to use to unarchive since I used winrar on windows or ?
Well that's good to know. Would be a shame if it was limited to 8-bit jpegs.mrkgoo said:I don't know too much about it, but:
From this, it sounds like the check mark essentially makes the saturation bar close too a vibrancy slider, but like I said I don't know much about 'vibrancy'. But like you said, for humans.
It has a check mark for transferring the RAW entirely, and one for making edits as a 16-bit tiff. I assume if you don't have the former checked, but the second one, it might export as a 16-bit Tiff.

Does anyone know of a fix that actually works for the dreaded "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet" network status issue?
So annoying.

The computer. Apparently it's a fairly common problem. Lots of complaints all over the internet, including a bunch of huge threads in Apple's support forums. No official comment from them as far as I know though.

How do you screencap in skype? Apparently there is an actual button for it on windows and I can't find it on mac. Shift+command+4 kind of sucks for screencaps...

In windows there is a button on the top of your video screen that says screen capture, I was looking for that in mac... I don't like the built in osx screencap because it usually gets part of the menu that says pause, end call, etc. in the middle of the capture.

Ya, but that skype menu is stuck in the middle for a little bit when you go fullscreen which is stuck in the picture which doesn't happen if you do it within skype and not doing a normal osx screenshot. Or that's what I want at least, seems you can't do it though.

what u mean run paralles and reinstall bootcamp tools? I am burning the 64 bit right now onto a dvd and i play on using bootcamp for follown step by step instructions.... is there some stuff i should know? I dont need that much space for windows though only like <30gb. i mainly use osx, windows only for games which i dont have a lot at allAshhong said:
do you plan on using parallels? after i installed parallels the apple keyboard manager broke and i couldnt properly use bootcamp. i had to uninstall bootcamp tools, and then reinstall them.
if you do install parallels, go into bootcamp and look in the taskbar on the bottom right for the diamond apple program. if it still opens ur all good.

My desktop is fucked. Certain files just won't move and aren't responsive to my mouse, whereas some are. This seems to happen every couple of weeks.

Do you use any disk cleaning programs such as Onyx, etc?

Nope.
Don't know if this was mentioned but if you use Command + click to rearrange icons, it automatically aligns them to grid. This bothered the hell out of me when I would have to go back and re-sort things after moving stuff to the trash, especially when my desktop or download folder starts getting cluttered. It was like I could feel myself slowly growing more and more OCD. :lol
I love this thread but I'm a pretty serious OSX noob and a lot of stuff goes straight over my head even when you guys dumb it down. I guess I have to get used to this more than I thought.
Do any of you guys customize your desktops at all? If so what sites do you use and what kind of shit do you do? I get bored very easily with my desktop and like to change things up.
