    PS: A friend to d me that 10.5.2 is snapper than 10.5.1 and their system boots 2 seconds faster now.



    Apparently there is a hack already called iTimeMachine that supports this. I haven't tried it yet, partially because I find airdisk to be so pathetically slow and cannot afford the two weeks it would take for the initial back up of my MacBook Pro

    Glad to see the earth will once again spin now that people can tweak their menubar and dock.

    Those last three months of the earth not spinning were pure torture.

    It's not so much the tweaking as the drop in functionality and readability from 10.4.



    I'm just glad apple is listening to their customers - anything that generates that much widespread complaint really should get fixed, regardless of how minor others may consider it.

    I thought that I was the only one who was having problems until I read the Apple discussions. It seems that no one is able to get this feature to work outside of a home network.

    I'm not sure thats true. I haven't used it, but i heard Rush Limbaugh on its radio show today saying he used Back to my Mac to get stuff from his home computer to his office computer.. then made fun of Windows users.... Apparently he is using it ok

    Rush Limbaugh is a Mac user? No wonder AAPL is down!

    I hope the fixes to Time Machine are good. Mine was working great for a month or so until it filled up the external FW disk. Now all it does is fail each time it tries to run. I've tried deleting the latest .inProgress file and excluding the folder it failed on but the failure just moves to another folder in the logs with the same error - trying to request 100MB, got 104MB free space then runs out of space writing the files and errors out



    Looks like the feature is unusable for me at present. Shame as it's great when it works!

    Try deleting folders with the earliest dates to make room. That is purely a workaround. It should automatically be alleviating enough space for the backup.

    Back to my Mac has been working flawlessly for me outside my home network. Do you have AT-PMP or UPnP enabled on your home router? If you don't, the necessary ports won't be mapped to allow you to reach your computer through the router.



    This explains how to turn it on for an Airport:

    This document covers other routers:

    Hope that helps.

    Wow, I can't wait! I wish we had a definite date but I guess we won't know until it's released which sucks. It was expected to be released during MacWorld but that came and went. Now the speculation is early February which I hope doesn't turn into late February, early March.

    thanks.



    You'll definitely want to check your system. Safari 3 is very fast on my system. Perhaps a simple system cleaning, including Safari might help. I recommend OnyX for that. It's free and very good if you're not already familiar with it.

    I'm more concerned with Safari being stable than speeding it up. Safari crashes all the time on my PowerBook and iMac G5.

    Yup, tried that... it works for a while (about a week) and then the same thing happens again. Guess it just doesn't work.

    They had better get the graphics problems figured out soon on the new Mac Pro's, or sales are gunna tank. I'm already holding off buying one until they sort it out.

    I'm very upset that there has been no mention of a fix for all the people who had their Matshita drives disabled by Leopard. I guess the voice of a few hundred thousand doesn't matter to Apple anymore.

    Tiger was a dream update, Leopard seems to be biting and scratching me at every turn. IMO, 10.5.2 should have been the first release.

    Interesting idea... possible, but I'm not sure why they'd do that.



    However, they did make a big thing about Frontrow looking the same on AppleTV and Leopard.... perhaps 10.5.2 needs to upgrade Frontrow to work the same as AppleTV? (still... that wouldn't require simultaneous releases....)
