All the file names with more than 5 or 6 characters are being shortened on my desktop.Example: "Bigthink.png" is being shortened to "bi...ng"..It's only doing it on one of my user desktops. The other is fine. Don't know what happened but was a problem before I upgraded to OS X Lion.

Tried 1 (newer model) at the office that worked fine but my older one at home doesn't display. I still get the blue flash screen though. Also tried a new Fujitsu monitor that didn't display either (claims no input signal). Does the xternal monitor through TB/MD port to VGA adapter only work on some models or if it works on one should it work on all? What can I try?

I'm looking for an app or something on the Mac already that can control what's playing on my iPhone which would be docked on my Boss Dock.
Esentially it's the Remote app for the iPhone that controls iTunes in reverse...
If I use the mini display to DVI to connect to a projector, it will work if the displays are mirrored, but if I extend the display, where the projector has a higher resolution, the projector display will have artifacts, noise, and if it has a lot of pictures or videos on the screen, the display sometimes stops working. Even if i set the display resolution to match the same as the laptop, I still get noise and artifacts unless I mirror the displays.
Then if I true to use the mini port VGA to the same projector but Windows won't recognize the projector. I've seen several reports about this. I have the latest Intel graphics driver and my bootcamp partition is running Windows 7, fully updated and patched.
Lastly, this seems to only happen with my MBA with the Intel HD 3000 graphics. I have another MBA with the Nvidia 300M and the mini port to DVI works fine.

I have a multi-step automator workflow that has an embedded "Launch Application" step that calls an applescript application that I've written. The application goes through a list of URLs. I don't want the workflow to start with the next step until my application has cycled through all the URLs. Currently, I have hard coded a pause into the workflow, but I'm looking for something more precise (if I set the pause too long, it results in unnecessary delays, if I set it too short, my workflow gets messed up).Â
I'm assuming there is some way to modify my application and/or the workflow to send a complete status that can trigger the next step in my workflow.

OS X has SMC Fan Control to increase the fan speed to cool down the Macbook. Is there a fan control application for Windows XP?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Mac Pro 2xQuad 2.66Ghz and the cores are always really hot even when idle. When I chat and surf the Internet I only use ca. 3% of the cores however the temperatures are at ca. 80 C and higher when I do work.
So I decided to Install SMC Fancontrol, however there is a big problem I can download it fine, I unwrap the zip fine and I can open the application. However as soon as I type in my password nothing happens. Its really frustrating because I cannot do anything I cant even delete it as it apparently is still running.

How can I stop the control button from moving the open applications up and exposing the desktop? It is getting very annoying when I want to use the control button for other functions. I tried looking in settings under keyboard, but found nothing.

I have a new Mac Pro which won't connect to the apple wireless keyboard, this is slightly different to the 'usual' bluetooth connection issues in that being its the first time powered on I need to go through the sign on and initial setup procedures before I can even get to the bluetooth settings but can't do so because the keyboard won't connect, catch 22 if you will.
The first screen I encounter when powering on the Mac Pro is an image to turn on the keyboard and mouse, the mouse is fine and I can navigate through the options until a entry is required from the keyboard such as computer name, wifi password etc then I'm stuck.
Is there anyway to reset the keyboard so it 'discovers' the mac?
I think I did a control click on an application trying to make an alias following a webtip and now I have a blue dot when the app is highlighted, or if I'm not clicked on the app it shows up highlighted blue. what does this mean and how do I get rid of it? I tried control clicking the item again and it's still there. It's just annoying to look at. Ideas? I googled it, I'm sure it's some Leopard feature but I dunno what it is,

1. Specifying when a child can log in to the Mac?
2. What day a child can use the Mac?
3. How much time is allowed per day for use on the Mac and where each session totalled up will not exceed the total allowed time per day?
4. How long each session is allowed?
I have late 2008 MBP that run on leopard and I was using fan control (I forget the name) but now I cleaned install SL and I don't have that app. If I keep my MBP on for hours it become hot (around 60-73 c) and before it was cooler (around 40-55 c). Is there other app better then that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm taking a computer class in high school. The teacher's computer has Apple Remote Desktop to control any computer when necessary.
The problem is, the class helper has access to this computer and usually takes control of my computer and mess up with my computer project "as a joke". My only workaround to pull the Ethernet cord from my eMac before he does so; if you do it after, the computer stops responding until after a while when the cord is back in. This is usually when the helper leaves the computer; I assume he has to give me back control of my computer before I can use it.
I clipped a few lines out of my system log; dropped 'em on a desktop. Now they appear on every desktop. What gives? Why don't they stick to only the desktop I dropped them on?

I recently upgraded my iMac from Leopard to Lion.Â
At times, and this has been happening quite frequently, my screen automatically jumps to Mission Control mode. Sometimes, it comes back to Desktop mode by itself but at other times I have to click on the window to get back to Desktop mode. Its almost like the OS is playing games with me.Â
Just to clarify, I am not invoking the Mission Control program by either using the keyboard, mouse or from the Dock. The OS automatically switches to Mission Control mode.Â

I'm currently studying for the GRE, and here's my current setup.Â
Desktop #1: general computing
Desktop #2: vocabulary
Desktop #3: verbal
Desktop #4: math Â
AnnoyancesÂ
1) I'll have a Chrome window open on #2 at a website to help me study vocabulary. However, when I'm at #1 and I click the Chrome icon in the dock to open a new browser to check email, it automatically takes me to desktop #2. While I can just check my email at #2, I want to keep that desktop exclusively for studying vocabulary. Is there any way to make MC treat each desktop as a separate desktop and NOT jump between desktops?Â
2) This seems to be a MS Office specific annoyance. I'll have a excel document open on #1 and #2. When I close the excel document on #1, MC automatically takes me to the document in #2, when I just wanted to close the #1 document and stay in #1. Â
3) A different scenario of the previous annoyance. There's an excel document open in #2 and I'm currently in #1. When I open an excel document MC...
- takes me to the ALREADY opened document in #2
- opens the document I wanted, but places it in #1
so that I'm in the wrong space AND not even looking at the document I just opened.
I am new to a mac and have the download setting set up to drop on desktop when I download something.
My question is that I downloaded some widgets today for the desktop like "The Weather Channel" one. When it finished downloaded, it appeared on the desktop as two files a zip file and another file. I then had to click on it to run it but in the end I had to move the zip file to the trash after I was done installing it. Is that normal. Should there be two files each time. Do I need to turn on/off a setting.
Also happened when I clicked on a video to watch, I was streaming it but when I flashed to my desktop it downloaded it also. Is this normal.
My customer lost his "control panel" and now can't change is desktop background.

I've assigned Excel 2011 to a specific desktop in Mission Control. Upon launch, it opens in the assigned desktop, but if I'm on another desktop at the time I launch it, the blank spreadsheet opens on that desktop and not the one assigned to Excel. I know it launches on the assigned desktop because it switches to that desktop momentarily, but then switches back to my current desktop to open the blank spreadsheet.Â
If I open an excel spreadsheet while on the Excel desktop, it opens there and stays there, but if I click on the Excel icon in the dock to open a new spreadsheet while on another desktop, the spreadsheet opens on that desktop and not on the desktop assigned to Excel.Â
Most of the apps I've assigned to desktops in Mission Control work fine, but Excel and Word don't follow the rules.

How do I open Adobe Photoshop CS4 from the desktop?
I have tried dragging, copying and it always opens in applications.
I just got a new mac and have accidentally set up something weird with my applications. I can only ever have one application showing on the desktop although I have a few programs open. As soon as I click on another application on the dock the current window open will hide and the new one will show. It's nothing to do with spaces or anything, I haven't got that turned on. The only way that I can have different application windows open is if I hold 'command' and 'tab', and select a different application.

my question is
how do i import a video on my desktop to the application imovie 09?
i started to work on my killer intro vid and the rest of the vid happen to be on my desktop. however, when i attempt to drag the video to imovie09, it bounce right off.
if there is nothing i can do, would it be possible to use the isight cam from imovie09 to make a video? i am not talking about making a video about myself. it actually pertains to an object ill be holding and talking about it. the only struggle is turning the object and holding it up. i know it can be better done with an actually camcorder but is there another way with the isight app on my computer?
I have an application on my desktop that is attached to a webserver updating account that I need to modify the settings for. Problem is, I've forgotten the password and their 'forgot password' thing isn't responding after a few hours. If I could just reveal the password that's saved on the desktop application then I wouldn't have to mess with it. I looked all though Keychain, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere in there. Back in PC days there were tons of applications that could just reveal what was behind the little dots. After about 20 minutes of searching, it seems that the mac world offers no such convenience. Anyone know some other way around this? I mean, it must be stored somewhere on here. The application is remembering the password.
