I've never had an "I hate Mac day" myself.
When it says something is hidden, I think it usually means there's some other
window or application blocking that item on the screen. Using VoiceOver it is
of course very difficult to get an idea of what this might be. So what usually

Hi all,
A few days ago I was going back and forth with someone about a chess clock
application. I said that Applescript would not work for his purposes, but I was
completely wrong. It looks like I may be able to make a series of scripts to do
exactly what he wanted, though I have not done so yet
Hi,
I'm thinking that he may just be a little confused. I've never noticed
anything of the sort within the iCloud pane of System Prefs nor do I remember
anything like that in previous versions of the pane. Normally, when you enable
the Find My Mac component of iCloud, it will ask you if you w

The Camera Roll is where the master copy of your photo is kept, similar to the

Open Finder, hit cmd-shift-g, and type this:
~/library
That will open up the library folder in the current user's directory.
Incidentally, the same holds for the global library folder, but you'd just type
/library
instead (the tilde symbol means "home").

It isn't easy, but adding mailboxes to the favorites bar is doable with

Okay, I just typed that sound script up. You can access input volume, output
