  • A clean install hasn't done the trick either \. Any other ideas? EDIT: zapped the PRAM, didn't make any difference .
  • Mine is a Trek 820, but not the current model - mine was bought some years ago, and doesn't have the suspension on the front forks. And it's orange . I don't have a pic of my actual bike though, so the one on the Trek web site will have to do for no…
  • I should have said, it's not a Virex issue, as I've never had Virex on my system.
  • dobby, I gave that a try, but similar results as before, i.e., if you add up the CPU time of all the processes running during the activity spikes it comes to much less than the cpu in use % shown in both Activity Monitor and top. I did some mo…

  • Smart Folders... They have quite a lot of different criteria you can use for selecting, including some photographer friendly ones like aperture, exposure time (shutter speed), focal length, even red eye! So I could easily find all the pictures wh…

  • I found a solution. Basically, add a bogus keyword to all your images, check spotlight picks it up, then remove it. Seems to be working now.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Electric Monk It's an iPhoto problem. iPhoto strips out the required metadata for Spotlight to index. So I was imagining things \. Damn! Can anyone else confirm this? It seems a bit stupid that Spotlight does…

  • I managed to pick up a copy this evening, from PC World of all places!!! It's all installed and appears to be working OK. Of course, I wasn't paying attention, and ended up doing the default upgrade, rather than archive & install . So does anyon…
  • I like the updated .Mac start page. I can instantly see how many emails I have, plus I can see my own calendar - I'll definately have to get my iCal up to date and synced now .
