i figured that out right after i posted.

my question still stands

http://bestmacsoftware.org/

transmission and quicksilver are must haves.

you'll have to read a bit to figure out all you can do with quicksilver, but it's very very worth it.

[btbam]

i have quicksilver now.. i use it now and then but i dont see it as being "that" amazing.

i have it bound to CTRL + Space. then i just type the program i want and hit enter.

Am i missing something?

anyone use iwork over office?

will probably only really use the word processor, and a little bit of spreadsheet (mainly read-only). maybe some ppt. too, but i've heard keynote has ppt. pipped in this field, anyway.

I do but I still have MS office. I guess you can manage with just iWork but there will be some stupid documents that won't display properly. I love Pages, use it for everything from ads to invoices.

it also manages files, finds anything in your computer as long as you make it part of your catalog, makes youtube and google searches without needing to open search pages, sends e-mails, etc etc. it basically does anything possible on your computer with 3 or 4 keystrokes

If they don't happen today, I'm not sure they will until January. (but you never know )

[thaiison]

i'mma pull the trigger today, wooooohooo

[Guest on-display]

is worth it to crack my itouch?

[Bislane]

probably. my friend broke his iphone in the process but called tmobile or apple or someone and lied a little to get a new one. so might even be pretty risk free

[NSFW]

so... did everyone pre-order snow leopard?? i just did...

[its swanny]

thanks for the heads up.

i dow'nload'ed it but haven't installed yet. i'll wait for .1 or .2.

[islandboi8204]

hmm, i'm running snow leopard right now - no problems so far. everything is zippier, plus it saved a few gigs of space on my HD.

In my drunken stupor, I apparently stepped on my pre-unibody pro macbook as it was closed. No damage should have occurred but last night I was watching a movie and I noticed a discolored line running horizontally across the screen on darker parts of the movie. On closer inspection, I realized that that the screen had been pressed against the area between the keyboard and the track pad area where it is a sharp edge. Is this temporary damage or permanent? It kinda sucks having this distracting line on my screen.

been trying to crack master collection for two hours tonight. im new to macs, but i dont know why im having this much trouble.

none of the serials work, and everytime i try to "deactivate" the activation software, i get a "no such file/directory" message in the terminal window.

gettin frustrated, can anyone help me out

[shark jacobs]

you mean adobe? what version is it? the exact version, look at the "about program" window

for that matter, what are you doing? what are you trying, i assume by "deactivating" the activation stuff you mean you're trying to stop from calling home to confirm itself. how are you trying to do this?

Just did it the other day. Got this from mac-bb and it worked.

You can use terminal to give TextEdit root access to the hosts file. Open a terminal window and enter the following:

sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/ hosts

Hit return and enter your admin password when prompted and again hit return.

Your Hosts file should automatically open in TextEdit.

Add the following to the open Hosts file:

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com

127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com

The entries should ideally be made between the existing broadcasthost and ::1localhost entries.

Save the file and quit TextEdit.

Now, If using Leopard, you should use Terminal again to flush your cache:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

You can also do the same in Tiger with the following Terminal command:

lookupd -flushcache

edited the host file, saved, and flushed the cache

but i still get msg from adobe saying my serial isnt working and that i have to re-register the product.

[Appleseed]

Did you follow the instructions from the Pirate Bay link I posted?

[homi29]

try doing a total clean and re-install lab

the master collection worked perfect for me

[Lab]

yea just had 2 reinstall. thx homi.

I just upgraded right now to snow leopard. Ran ms office, cs4, itunes, safari, etc with no problems. It is noticeably faster too.

*edit*

some of my third party apps aren't working but most developers are starting to update

[freecat]

transmission is very good. used it for years.

[Appleseed]

Just switched to Transmission from doing them through Acquisition. Seems faster.

[phen3N]

anyone here use Bowtie? after installing snow leopard, its not working for me

[ben_253]

i use transmission too. very good; simple and does the job.

on another note, i've had my mb pro for a few months and when i carry it around i hear some weird clunking noise...going to make an appointment with the genius staff. kinda annoyed.

[thaiison]

i love it so bad, need to get some good apps though

[kpnv]

how is snow leopard running for you guys? running smooth etc? better? noticeable? i'm hesitant because i'm ignorant about how much improved it is.

My guess would be it has something to do with the dvd/cd whatever drive on the right. mine makes the noise sometimes too, but only if you shake it or hold it at an awkward angle...might be a different noise though.
