I have used ChronoSync and it seems pretty good. However I don't sync regularly.

I should have expanded. I have Applications opened in the column view. I click on the Arrange By box and pick Name. My order is then:
iTerm
BitTorrent
iDisplay
TextWrangler
DOSBox
Adobe Digital Editions
...
The other options (Date, size etc all seem to be ok - just name). Same issue with other folders. List view works just as I would expect but I like column view.
Thanks

Move one view to the left and try Arrange again. It does not work in Column view, but should in Detail view.

Thanks, but clearly this is a bug which was introduced in Lion. It worked fine in Snow Leopard and Tiger. I don't like Detail view.
I suppose they will fix it sooner or later.

I don't think you can beat Speed Download. It does do scheduling.

Re: Question for Carbonite users?

I am not using nor do I know what exactly is stored in a carbonite backup, but I suggest to only restore documents and media files, as well as apps that did not come with an installer. Importing the Library folders (/Library and ~/Library) and system folders however might not be the best option as your current problems could be caused by data stored in those folders.
Regards,
Heiko

Moving email addresses from Thunderbird to Contacts

Most of the messages have to do with moving files. Being rather new to this does anyone have a suggestion?

Howdy.
Thunderbird's address book can EXPORT addresses in LDIF, comma
separated values (CSV), and Tab Delimited file.
Apple's free Address Book on your Macintosh can import addresses from
vCard, LDAP/LDIF, Tab-delimited, and CSV formats.
First import addresses into Address Book on your Mac and then be sure
that it syncs with what I assume is Contacts on iPhone, iPod Touch,
iPad (you don't mention what your "Contacts" is part of).

renaming labels
Posted by: "Les Streater" lesstreater@marpubs.demon.co.uk linernutuk

I am about to use labels on a large folder of photos and notes to allocate them to various sections. I would like to rename them but with the names only applicable to this folder, not to the overall system.
Is there a programme that will allow this? I have read through the Unsanity Labels X but it doesn't cover this point. It would also be useful to add more labels. Google doesn't seem to have any suggestions, other than using Resourcer and Photoshop to alter what is already there.
Suggestions?
