I was just snapping photos in photobooth and went to upload them to facebook and couldn't. Had to "show package contents" and move the photos into a folder in order to upload them. It didn't used to do that right? annoying...

You can drag the photo thumbnails straight out from the Photo booth app and onto Facebook's "Browse" button!

Or, you could just scroll down in the sidebar of the Chooser window and click on Photos. Aperture, iPhoto, and Photo Booth images all show up in there in their library structure. Makes things very easy to find.


Also, I just found out when you're in Mission Control you can use 3 finger forward/backward swipe to switch spaces. Pretty cool.

Don't be pedantic. It doesn't matter whether it "part of the springboard." It serves the same purpose as the dock. And my OS X doc isn't visible when I am running "apps" either (I hide it). And the dock on iOS is accessible when running an app - that's what the home key is for.

That's also what the launchpad icon, 4 finger gesture on Lion is for. To gain access to a springboard.

There is no dock in iOS, you're oversimplifying.
 
AirDrop

Hi,

I hope this has not already been mentioned...

You can bring AirDrop compatibility to your unsupported Mac by replacing your WiFi card with one that is compatible.

I have a MacPro2,1 that had a Broadcom BCM94321MC that AirDrop didn't like. I replaced it with a Broadcom BCM94322MC and AirDrop is now working fine.

I would guess that any Mac that has a similar mini-pcie type WiFi card can be made compatible by installing this card.
 
I just noticed that Lion now runs on 64bit kernel by default (at least on my mac in my sig). Nothing fancy, just a small nugget of information. :)
 
a nice one is :

open macvim, texmate or textedit and do a control + down

it will show at the bottom the Most recently used files
 
Applications Launching at Startup

I am not sure if this was posted anywhere else and apologize if that was the case.

I cannot get my Safari and iMail from launching at startup. I have removed them from my login items and also have unchecked that mark at shutdown to not launch the windows at startup.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Thanks all!

Never mind, figured it out. Looks like I just needed to completely remove them from the login items vs. just leave them unchecked. Still learning the Apple OS ;)

Now if I can just figure out how to get my pre-Lion install battery life back...

Don't know if someone has already mentioned this in previous pages (too many to look through!!) but you can still allocate apps to certain desktop spaces.

1. Select the space you want the app to always open in
2. Open the app in that space.
3. Right click on the app icon in the dock and go to the 'Options' sub-menu
4. Towards the bottom there is an 'Assign To' section where you can select:
- 'None' - default option
- 'This desktop' - app will always open on that specific desktop
- 'All desktops' - means that as you move between Spaces the app stays in place and is always shown even as the rest of the desktop changes, perfect for a chat app

Hope this helps someone.

Richard.

Excellent! Thanks, Richard :)
 
Apologies if this has been there for a while.

In system preferences, if you click and hold on show all, at the bottom is customise. This brings up your systems prefs folder, but just like when you hold down an app within iOS it allows you to hide it.

Good if you want to hide unused prefs
 
Is there any way to make safari open new tabs at the end of the already opened tabs?
New safari version in lion, adds new tabs immediately after the current tab.
 
Todo's remain within iCal, but are not carried through to Mail. Would love to see apple do a 'outlook' style migration of the 3 apps.

Yep annoying that tabs go to the next along, instead of too the end.

When you shut down, the choice to not reopen from previous setting is not available, so it starts up with whatever you left open. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Battery life shocking... MBP 17 i7

Versions might work, happy to give it a try, but recently created a document in word, then decided didn't like it, so just quit pages, every time i opened up the app, that same doc appeared, the only solution was to open another template.

You used to be able to just type in say 'macrumors', and it would compile the rest i.e. www.macrumors.com not any more, just won't load!

After Lion installation...
I throw away so many languages and system architectures with 'monolingual', and my hard drive has the same free space again! Something is wrong.
 
I am not sure about a lion version but it functions.

Finder:
How can I avoid having a 'warning' when I try to delete a file?
I want to send files to trash without having this annoying pop-up windows asking me to assure it.
