I have been using BowTie for a while, however I have a bit of a problem. I have unchecked 'show Bowtie in menubar' and 'Bowtie icon in dock'. I now have no way of accessing (known to me) the preferences for the application. is there a way around this?

I can't seem to figure out how.
I located all my themes, deleted them, deleted all application preferences for Bowtie, and then deleted Bowtie.
A quick reinstall of Bowtie and upon startup, all my themes are still there.
The whole purpose of this is to get rid of a theme that isn't working (Zokunft Condensed Black), and I know it doesn't matter that much, but I tend to get hung up on things like this.
Any way to just get this theme off my hard drive?
So I've downloaded both geektool and bowtie. The default bowtie themes are boring and I have downloaded more that are compatible with geektool but have NO clue what to do. I could use some tips.

I installed Bowtie today and download/installed the theme pack but when I run iTunes and Bowtie, I do not see the CD cover on the Desktop. What am I doing wrong ?

I'm not very good at editing the scripts and what not, but basically as you can see from the screenshot at the link above, there are the 5 rating buttons and the X, I was able to remove those so it's just the album cover.
Every time a new song starts playing the theme will have the band and song title scroll by. What I want to do is have the song/band title constantly scrolling by instead of just when a new song is played.
I'm not sure if im posting this in the right section or if I worded this right
My Bowtie Growl Notifications are'nt showing the album art properly. It looks like this:

Does anyone else have this problem? I am using Bowtie V1.1 and Growl V1.2 .
I'm not talking about the System Preferences app itself, I'm talking about the settings within the app. So for instance, the security settings, and the mouse settings, energy saver, etc.
Where can I find the settings files on my Mac so I can back them up?
I installed the Bowtie app and i had my iMac replaced a few times in the apple store. The last time they replaced my iMac they copied the data from my broken iMac to the new one and ever since then i get an error message that references my old iMac a 20" one from 2008. The old iMac was one that i used to migrate to the new one originally. Below is the image that appears.
This only appears when i open Bowtie.

I have a PowerBook G4 that i leave at home and travel with my MacBook.
Is there a way for me to access my time capsule HD through my PowerbooK remotely ...from my MacBook while on the road?
Can i do this using "Back to my MAC" or Is there a while to dial in IP address's directly?
I have a Mac Pro which has my Itunes Library Stored on. I would like to be able to access this Library via my Mac Book Pro and to be able to add media to the library via both Mac's. Both mac's are connect to my AirPort Extreme and have set up file and screen sharing on both, which works perfect

If I close the library on the first computer I can access the library just fine on the second.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy MBP is running out of space and since I have a external drive that right now I don't use I'd like to move part of my podcasts library in the external HD. I have already copied the podcasts from the iTunes folder in my Mac to the External Drive and I have deleted the local copies. Now, I tried to add them to the library (File > Add to Library) but in this way it copies the file in my local hard drive. How can I keep the files in the external drive but make them accessible from iTunes like they were locally stored?

I have just installed Aperture3 on my MacBookPro 10.6.2.
I imported my iPhoto library to Aperture.
I have hundreds of movies in Aperture from two Canon cameras.
When I open iMovie, it correctly points to Aperture3 and begins to reference the movies in Aperture.
One quarter of the way through this process, iMovie hangs and crashes.
My music and video library, totaling about 1.5 TB, is stored on an external USB hard drive. When I want to listen to something, I copy it over to my MacBook Pro (15" late 2009, 500GB hard drive) using iTunes. My home stereo is connected to an AirPort Express for audio streaming.
I can't really afford a TimeCapsule or an AirPort Extreme Base Station, either of which would seem to offer the most elegant way to remotely access my media library over WiFi (true?). Yesterday I found a Belkin Wireless N+ router at Costco for $69 that includes a USB storage port, and am wondering if it would do the same job for a quarter of the cost. Here are my questions:
1) Could I access my media drive wirelessly from my MBP using the Belkin N+ router? Is there another (better?) solution that I am missing?
2) Can I use iTunes to manage my library on the external hard drive, while also maintaining a smaller collection of audio files locally on the MBP's hard drive?
I'm not the only one in this situation! It seems Drobos and other RAID or NAS solutions are quite costly ... more so than an Airport Extreme.
I have been having this problem for a while. It happens every now and then, sometimes more often too. Sometimes at random times, when I try to access https websites in Safari such as Internet banking, signing in into eBay etc, it has an error.
It says "Safari can't open the page because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server signin.ebay.com.au". To resolve this problem I always have to turn off my Airport and then turn it back on. See screenshot - [URL]
I've also tried opening it in Firefox and it also doesn't work. In Firefox, the error is "Data Transfer Interrupted: The connection to signin.ebay.com.au has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transferred." See screenshot - [URL]

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there are ways to split the preferences of Language and Text on Macs. I'm operating on Snow Leopard and I was hoping to have situations where I can isolate certain applications to certain languages.
I.e. - Open web browser in (region + language settings = Japan/Japanese) while at the same time I could also be working on my word processor in Italiano (region + language settings = Italy/Italian).
Is there any application for this? Mainly in helping to split language preferences for alternate applications or maybe even alternate windows in one application.
My preferences on occasion will not open. this happens frequently and some times I reboot ore hn once. Using snow leopard 10.6.4. How do clear this up?? I have used disk verify and still no luck. Is there a way to install snow leopard without disturbing rest of system.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor school, I need to set up a VPN connection to be able to connect my MacBook to the internet. While my school offers the Cisco VPN Client with a preconfigured PCF settings file, I would much rather use Mac OS X's built-in VPN capabilities, through the Network Preferences. Now, my problem is that I don't really know what to do to get this working. Using an online password decoder, I already found out what the password for my school's VPN connection is. But how do all the settings translate between the Cisco VPN Client and Mac OS X's VPN configuration screen?
The PCF file tells the Cisco VPN Client to use Group Authentication, with a group name and a group password (the one I already decrypted). These are already filled in. When starting a connection, I am then asked to fill in my student login details. Now, in the VPN settings screen in System Preferences, there is a box for Account Name. Am I right in thinking this is the box where I fill in my student ID? Or does the group name go here? Then, when I click Authentication Settings..., I can fill in a password. I assume this is where my student password goes? Or should I fill in the password I decrypted?.................
