Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / August 2006

I keep trying VoodooPad as it is such a fine looking application; my
problem is that I just can't find a use for it. Maybe I am just failing
to /get/ the whole personal wiki thing because I feel I should be able
to use it somehow.

I frequently have Safari, Hogwasher, and Mail all open at the same time and
will be switching amongst them. What frequently (often several times a day)
happens is that I'll want to use Safari and find that it is hung and needs to
be force quit. And, try as I might, I can't ...

Actually, what happens is even more bizarre.  I have a couple of pictures that
I'd like mirrored.  So I tried loading them into Preview, doing "Flip Vertical",
and the picture was the mirror of before.  So I saved them using "Save As",
adding a char 'L' or 'R' to the file names to ...

Apple Mail won't run and is crashing at launch. I've received the
following error in console.log:
Mac OS X Version 10.2.8 (Build 6R73)
dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail can't open library:

I have a network with a pc where all my music is stored, and a macbook.
Both have iTunes installed.  The pc has sharing enabled with a
password on iTunes, and shows up on the macbook in iTunes, however when
I click on it on the macbook, it does not ask for a password, and just

Couple years ago, I gave my trusty old 7200/75 mac to a friend who
finally gave up on Windows, in frustration. I told me that it on old
machine and that he could get a decent newer machine for not very much.
But he wanted to try it and it turned out that he was happy messing

Okay, the current Consumer Reports magazine article on computer security
spooked me sufficiently to download, try and then buy MacScan
<www.macscan.securemac.com> I am especially anal about it since I was
recently the victim of online ID theft.

An increasing number of Mac apps seem to have both Open. . . and
Open Recent . . . menus.  Is the latter a built-in system capability in
OS X, or just a custom extension of the standard Open menu command?
Mathematica in particular has a Preference option that allows one to

There seems to be a fault with the file date management system in
Mac OS X, at least in Tiger 10.4.7. I am quite frequently
confronted by notices that tell me that the folder I am wanting
to replace is younger than the one I know I have just modified.

I think it will make old timer Mac users happy. I understand Mullberry
author re-gained rights to distrubute/update his own program.
Get it from Versiontracker so downloads will be counted. Also I hope
they setup a donation page.

I don't use internet radio that much and occasionally use itunes for
that.
Today I launched Audion 3 which went free some time back.
I run OS 9 on this machine.

After literally decades of hesitation about leaving the Windows world,
I finally took the plunge and bought a MacBook yesterday.  Everything
is great so far, except for one thing:  It appears that I won't be able
to print to a fairly expensive Konica-Minolta 2300 color laser printer

I want to be able to switch the way messages look when they are
received (Just the From field) and when the recipient hits reply (the
to Field). I don't want to create seperate accounts. Just a little drop
down box or something where I can choose to have an email I send look

I'm trying these two apps from Mac Unicorn Software again, after
a long time not using them, and I'm not sure if they really do anything
to improve performance or not. I'm hoping someone out there knows,
and wouldn't mind enlightening me.

Greetings all,
How can I make NeoOfficeJ my default application for opening .doc files?
Thank you,
