> Let's take a wild guess, let's guess that if you took all the graphic artists and include all the users that do video work, would that be more or less than 20% of all users? I would think think below 20%. Now lets add in professional and amateur photographers, were probably close to plus or minus 30%.

Particularly since the mandatory grey was introduced in Lion, which OS also makes multiple desktops very simple. And you can easily restrict Finder windows to a single desktop. where the easy visibility of icons would not interfere with working graphics or video applications (for example) because, logically, the user would have them on separate desktops from Finder.

So, Forrest, you feel that the design and operation of the current Macintosh operating system is a subject that should NOT be discussed on the Macsupport forum?

I have to agree. (And I've been using a Macintosh since the beginning.)
Apple is focused on providing the best user experience, which
includes making the OS as secure and malware free as possible and
making software as easy to locate and own as possible. They aren't
focusing on becoming Big Brother.

They could do that, and I think that would be ideal for users. But
if you offer too many settings a bunch of users are going to start
complaining of feature "bloat" and they will start saying that Apple
is becoming like Microsoft. So once again Apple can't win.
I once asked an Apple employee why Apple didn't offer the option to
change Finder fonts and things like that, and they said that it was
actually a legal thing. Apple needs to present a non-changeable
"look" to the OS to legally protect the "look and feel" of the OS so
that it can't be copied (stolen). I imagine that Apple is very
sensitive about this after the look and feel lawsuit they went
through with Microsoft.

I have nothing against discussing problems with the OS as I am not totally enthralled with it either, however, I find some of his comments on the brink of being very childish and demanding. As he mentioned in a later message, he carefully words any message to Apple Inc. on things in the OS that he is displeased with. That is wonderful and I applaud him for doing it.

Put a "hook" in the OS so that 3rd-party programmers can "make an App for that".

But Randy, I am not asking them to offer 30-million varieties, just grey and the prior "look and feel", color for Mail and the prior look for Address Book and iCal. When I suggested the architectural-look, I did mention it was a 3rd party theme, so it might be a legal issue there.
I'm no lawyer, but I think they could defend 4, 5 or even 6 distinct original looks as "look and feel", if they were all prior Apple looks or original. But I am only asking for two. They offer more desktop images than that, and allow the user to use any image they have (legally or not) as a desktop image. (Being the son of a professional photographer, image copyrights are a hot topic for me.)

You missed my point when I said not tweaks or hacks, give the customers a choice with a setting.
I run a fairly plain vanilla system, using settings instead of tweaks, hacks or 3rd party software for system adjustments. I have not had a need since 10.0, and I like it that way.
I don't need 31 flavors, just vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. And I don't even like strawberry.

Agreed.
They introduced Lion and a reversed scrolling logic, but left the option to switch it off and use the OLD scrolling logic.
They introduced auto-resume, but left (at least some) possibility to turn it off.
Why not introduce the altered GUI, but leave an option to switch it to the old familiar one?

Exactly!
At first I didn't like the reversed scrolling, but I gave it a try and it now comes naturally. Oh, yeah, they call it natural scrolling, don't they. So I am not opposed to all change, but give me the colors back in Mail for easier recognition with older eyes. Or even allergy-ridden eyes.
Ditch the cartoon-leather look in Address Book and iCal, only because it is butt-ugly. The functionality is fine, but I prefer the prior look and the navigation was better.
Give the user the choice.

Oh my! I'm having a heck of a time with Lion!
I had been on 10.6.8 for a LONG time and was not only used to it but
comfortable with it.
Then, my wife talked me into exchanging my 5+ year old iMac with a new one.
Whew! Even tho' I got an Apple refurb mid-2011, it's essentially brand new,
but... it's got Lion (10.7.3 installed.) I'm not all that happy with it, I
must say.
I asked for it to be delivered with 10.6.8, but... as we all know, they
will NOT do that.
Anyhow, I figured I might as well bite the bullet and get to know the new
OS.
That's why I'm so glad to see this post. I had imagined being able to do
that, but didn't know if it was possible.
I'll save the links and copy the files, before making the decision.
My Geek Squad guy transferred the data over from my 10.6.8 machine to the
newer 10.7.4 machine, leaving the old one still working. Excellent!
In fact, I'm sending my mail from the older machine right now!
I have not yet been able to get the newer machine to work properly with SM.
Oh well. Eventually.
I'm going to give my older iMac to my son, but...not until I manage to get
the new one functional!
Thanks for responding to Randy's message. That happened right in the middle
of my transferring to the new machine, and I had missed it! Boy, I'm glad!
Thank you, one and all.
Keith Whaley <== hanging in with both OS' on two machines! <bigrin>

If you still have the old iMac, or a backup, you could copy/clone it to the new iMac.

Try clicking on "Forget this network" on your iPad. Then shut it off completely by holding the off key down until you see the red "shut down" (or something like that). Then on your main computer, unplug your router for a couple of minutes and then turn it back on. Then boot up the iPad and connect to your network (by re-typing it all back in again) and see if this helps.

I also own a 1975 Honda CB400F, a Japanese collectable.
The discussion list is SV1000 Portal:

nothing to do with motorcycles.
There is even a Macintosh discussion thread!
I've been riding for well over 40 years. For about 15 years I was a
motorcycle training instructor for the state. I've trained hundreds
of new riders.

Bought them 2 days ago at my local downtown luggage shop, where they tell me they've not raised their prices on these little guys for a decade but know that Radio Shack charges $8-$10 apiece for them (I didn't verify that). I also don't know whether they charge more for different plugs (the Western European are the simplest).

I am seeing this message when I enter my password in iTunes:
This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons. Click Reset to reset your account.
I have tried resetting but have a couple issues.
1) If I try and have Apple "send an email to the rescue email address on file for you," I don't receive an email from Apple. I suppose it's possible I set up a work email as the rescue email. However, I changed employers a couple months ago.
2) The other option is to answer a security question. But, they say the birth date I enter doesn't match what they have on file.
I was worried that my account was hacked but there hasn't been any iTunes purchases on my credit cards.
Any idea what might be going on and how to fix it? If I end up having to go to an Apple Store, can they fix it without me having to bring anything with me? It seems I should be able to enter my iTunes ID anywhere.

That happened to me about three years ago and I ended up having to get another Apple ID. A few incidents like that, and eventually I had five Apple IDs. A few months ago, a very VERY long support talk with Apple got me reduced down to just two Apple IDs and that was the best he could do. But I did lose the one that gave the "security reasons" message.

My wife just came home and mentioned she received the emails from Apple. Â It's been so long ago, I don't even remember using her as the rescue email. Â Apparently, the account was disabled because my password wasn't strong enough.

That happened to me about three years ago and I ended up having to get another Apple ID. A few incidents like that, and eventually I had five Apple IDs. A few months ago, a very VERY long support talk with Apple got me reduced down to just two Apple IDs and that was the best he could do. But I did lose the one that gave the "security reasons" message.

Either way the Apple Store can not resolve it for you, you have to do it all online, and if has been that long ago...
Try at
appleid.apple.com
If that does not resolve it, save yourself a lot of head aches and just create a new one, with a strong password, answer 3 security questions, and use a more permanent back up e-ddress.
Apple finally got around to having me select the remaining two questions and answers.

Digital Audio

Has anyone in the group done anything with the iMac's digital in / out capabilities. I just bought Audio Hijack Pro and it seems as if it will do more using the machine's DSP than analog audio. I have ordered 2 mini-toslink to to slink for audio in and out. I'm just curious if anyone here has any opinions on the software and it's conditioning capabilities.
I know I have asked about digital audio before, awhile back, however, I have not had an opportunity to implement any of this until now, when I managed to get a digital receiver / amplifier, surround unit.
TIA
