Why did the Mavericks install create two shared user folders on my hard drive ('brw0080929854c2' and 'netgear106ebe') ? What should I do with these, delete or are they essential ?
I have added a language under the first tab, Language, only to find that there is no correspondingly supported input option under the fourth tab, Input Sources.
I would now like to remove the entry I added under the first tab, Langauge, but cannot figure out how to do this. I have tried highlighting and pressing delete, dragging it out of the window, etc., but so far nothing works.
Whenever I transfer data from my MBP HDD to an External HDD, the folder it creates to copy that data to has a created date of, wait for it.....14th February 1946 at 8:34am. And how to change it so that the dates are correct (i.e. today!) When the folder finishing copying all the dates are fine. It's just that bit in-between whilst it's copying.
Moving identified documents into a newly created folder, "click on icon and move to the folder".
I'm able to move the document upon clicking on its icon however it is not accepted by the folder I lay it over including laying the document in the opened folder's column.
I like to keep my 'documents' area of the finder uncluttered, but lots of pieces of software, such as 'Bookends', Microsoft Office and others put folders there each time they are opened.
To try to move them, I opened the prefs of Bookends and moved the folder location to a better place, but every time I open the software it just puts a new folder in 'documents'.
Newbie from windows to Mac SL. I download two programs for my Cannon scanner and found them installed in Applications. I created a new folder called Cannon and moved both programs into it. In the folder, there is now a file called "Open in Finder" as well which I did not add.
Question. 1. Is it ok to move files into a new folder this way? 2. Is it normal to have "Open in Finder" also inserted in the folder?
Reason I am asking is, when I initially run the scanner program I get this multiple colour ball momentarily. It is almost as if the OS is looking for the location of the scanner program - similar to an hour glass in windows. Therefore, should I delete the folder I created and reinstall the scanner programs? If so, should I delete the programs first, then the folder, or go ahead and delete the folder with the programs in it?
I am buying PowerBooks for students here in Brazil. They all have some level of OSX 10.4 but are in English. I need to change the base language to Portuguese. Is there a way to do this without the original install disks?
I may have one or two systems with OSX 10,5, so the same question applies there.
i'm using Mac OS X in English but i'm French and need the spell checker in French. Each time I have to change the language of the whole interface, log out and log in again.
I checked the Dictionnary preferences thinking it might be linked but I can't see any French options.
Do you have any idea how i can modify this setting so that the spell checker in Safari or Firefox or any programs switches to French?

About eight months ago I had to change the hard drive in my ibook. Because I did that change in Germany, some features are in German. Others are in spanish because I lived in Mexico.

when I write in German, I copy the text into Firefox and use the German spell checker, then copy my work back.Today I had a massive "duh" moment, when I realised that OSX has built in spell checking.Now, I am writing an email in German, and I would like to change the language of the email to German and have the spelling checked automatically instead of me having to go through each word and telling OSX that it's a German word
you would be kind enough to perform the following test and tell me what result you get (it should take five minutes)?
1) login to MyInfo page: [URL] 2) select "Contact Prefs" and set "Preferred Language" to a language different from your country default language 3) Logout (very important) 4) starts iTunes, go in the iTunes Store and connect to view your account (click on your AppleID in the top right corner) 5) select "Edit Payment Information" 6) change nothing, just press Done twice to go back to the iTunes Store 7) login to MyInfo page again:[URL] 8) check if Contact Prefs->Preferred Language was set to your country default 9) come back to this thread and report the result (with your country)
In my case (from Switzerland iTunes Store) my Preferred Language is reset to German each time and it is quite annoying. I've tried to report this to the iTunes Support, but their answer was something like: "we need to test your account." And after having done that:we're happy to tell you that your preferred language is now set to English." Not very useful as you can see.
I want every app to "remember" its current language input. And I don't mean that it should remeber it on osx boot, but after I open it and switch language input.
