    Call it a bit of OCD or perfectionism but I'd love to remove the little proxy icons at the top of title bars in OS X. I know what they're for but I've never once used them and would like to just see those little icons gone to make the visuals a bit cleaner. ...I've seen screenshots of...

    Finder back button with last position.

    In icon view or list view if I go back(button or CMD+[), it lands on the previously viewed folder. I remember in Windows there is this option that took me directly to the enclosing folder with the item selected (just like CMD+ up arrow). Brief research shows that this was like that until El...

    Can't offload camera cards — (Error code -36)

    I posted this on the Apple.com forums to no avail. I have found plenty of "solutions" but the popular fix doesn't work for me. Such a basic problem — so incredibly irritating. I can't copy images off of my camera cards (both SD & CF) after moving from 10.8.5 to 10.11.3. I incessantly get the...

    Folder icons not displaying correctly

    In my Home folder all the icons spread out evenly across the white space of the window, but in my Documents folder the icons are all sticking to the left side. I've tried messing with all the view options and Arranging/Sorting them by kind,name,etc but they just won't budge!
