Since having my iMac for a while now, and with all the OS X Leopard hype, I was thinking of getting the upgrade. But before I do, I just want to “ask around” and see if anyone had any significant problems upgrading.
I know Darren had a few problems, but they didn’t seem too bad.
So, please [...]

The eagerly anticipated release of OS X Leopard is due on 26th October. This is the 6th version of the OS X operating system since OS X made its debut in 2001.
According to Apple there are more than 300 new features, including the “Time Machine” that enables your Mac to be rolled back to an [...]

Well, I’m sorry to say this but I had my second “blue screen of death” on my iMac over the weekend, and it took out my Parallels Desktop 3 install.
I don’t know what happened but I opened Parallels and clicked on the green arrow to start the virtual machine as normal, then the crash happened.

I don’t know if many people are aware of this cool little feature of OS X but I have just found it.

One of the things I noticed when using my mac is that there is no “print screen” key like on a pc keyboard.
No fear, to create a screenshot of your desktop, simply hold the apple key + shift and press the number 3. A screenshot image will be created and saved straight to your desktop [...]

One of the first programs I installed when I got my iMac was Firefox. On my bookmark folder I have a lot of shortcuts to websites that I visit all the time. What I do to save space on the toolbar is delete the name of the website so only the website’s favicon shows.
That’s all [...]

I’ve just installed Parallels and am in the middle of installing Windows XP and SP 2.
At first glance it looks amazing the way you can run XP in a window on your OS X desktop. I have a couple of Windows only programs and this will be great to be able to run them in [...]

As I use my iMac more and more I come across things that seem strange to an ex windows user.
For example, in windows, when you have say Firefox open, the menu (File, Edit View etc) is at the top within the browser. However, in OS X, the file menu for it is stuck to the [...]
