  • Do you have "Trust Junk Mail headers set by your ISP" turned on? I'm wondering whether your ISP is flagging the message as junk, and therefore Mail is ignoring any of its own rules and just trusting that... Neil. a.k.a. Arnel
  • Quote: Originally posted by JBL ...you might as well use Apple's arrange by kind feature. Yep, that's close enough to what I was after - thanks for the tip! Cheers, Neil. a.k.a. Arnel
  • A couple of (small) things I'd like to see... 1) On the desktop, new files appear on the left by default, leaving the right free for drives. This way you'll always know where CDs and iPods will appear, without them appearing in random gaps amongs…
  • I think the big advantage of a personal server over iTunes/iPhotos built in sharing functions would be the availability. To stream a tune from a user's iTunes library, their computer has to be switched on, they have to be logged in, and iTunes h…
  • Hmmm... I don't know about FUD, but that article does seem to go out of its way to be negative. Firstly, yes, the current goal is 100m songs downloaded by the iTMS' first anniversary at the end of April - some six weeks away still. Why the articl…
  • Quote: Originally posted by muah I get that I should back the songs up, but I thought the songs got "locked" to a particular PC. I know you can share the song with 3 other computers, but once you lose the originating PC then what happens? No…
  • Quote: Originally posted by fulmer [B]The thing that bugs me the most about this whole topic is this guy is comparing a beta version M$ OS that is 2 years away from being released with the current version of OSX... Yep, Longhorn is due 2006 at…
  • I'd like to see an option where you can double-click on a window title bar to send the window to the back. My Atari (!) used to do this and it was really useful, especially if you had a big window covering a smaller one. The advantage over Windowsha…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ThunderPoit how about a little button that updates the ipod? right now, if i plug my ipod in, and then later add or change any tracks in itunes, i need to unmount the ipod, pick it out of the dock, and then put it back…
  • Quote: Originally posted by de5ign so, nobody knows this problem? That's just the way it is as far as I know - the iPod disregards groups and just lists all of your contacts alphabetically. The "groups" thing is part of Address Book only. …
  • Not really an iTunes thing, but... I notice that you can now switch the shuffle setting on and off per playlist, which is great because now I can have a smart playlist of all the five-star rated songs, and they play in a random order, yet if I pi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by stupider...likeafox Someone said that .app-like Bundles are cross-platform but they're not. They appear on other platforms as folders. The OO.o format is a zipped folder which gives you the same benefits (and much smal…
  • One quick thing - there's no need to go through iTunes to rip a CD to AIFF and then go and hunt the file. If you open the CD in the Finder, all the tracks are available as AIFF files anyway, and you can just copy them onto your desktop... Muc…
  • I think the NSTabView class actually has built-in options to draw the tabs up the side of the pane like that - it's no hack. Still looks messy, though ;-) Neil. a.k.a. Arnel
  • One of the main things I don't like about the new tabs is purely aesthetic. In the above shots, the tabs were originally set so that the rule was pressed right up against a square control, and now there's a bit of a gap between the list box and the …
  • The new finder shows a lot of promise, but there seems to be a hell of a lot of space used up by stuff that's repeated in every Finder window. That's fine for newer users but a bit of a waste of space for the more experienced user (case in point - w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by drewprops ...The accumulation of features over time has given Entourage cool things like a "define" option when you command-click on a word and a little navigable dictionary window pops up with a definition in it. You…
