That might be the toolbar. You can show or hide that by going to View -> Show Toolbar (or typing ⌘|). If the toolbar *is* showing, you may have "customized" the location away. Go to View -> Customize Toolbar... and drag the address and search widget into the toolbar.
I have a PowerBook G4 at work with a fresh install of Leopard on it. I dock X11 to the taskbar from the Applications menu. Every time I start it, a second copy of X shows up in the task bar. The second one has the "active" dot displayed under it.
I tried to dock the second copy of X to the task bar and delete the other one... no luck, it still creates a second copy.
Any way to avoid this duplication? It's only a very minor annoyance, but it didn't happen under Jaguar or Tiger (I think).
First off, it's the Dock, not the Taskbar.
Secondly, I've seen that on a couple of oddball apps. X11 fits the bill for oddball, IMO. I would just live with it. Some things just aren't worth fretting over, IMO.

D'oh, sorry, still fairly new to this Macinslosh stuff .
Yes, they definitely point to different applications. /usr/X11/X11 and /Application/Utilities/X11. If I move the former to the tas... Dock(!) and execute it, then it bounces around endlessly after spawning the second X. Ack!
I suppose I'll just live with it barring an extensive Google search (the "Keep in Dock" did not work either).

I've had that happen on Tiger... not sure what caused it. Solution was to quit X11, drag ALL instances of it off the dock, then drag a fresh new copy on from /Applications/Utilities/X11. Once I did that that problem went away.

I went & looked for the files to be removed as mentioned & they simply did not exist so i went to adobe's site & downloaded their PDF reader.. rebooted & all is well.
Seems to be faster, less clunky and easier to install, use & manage.
Yup, it is. I use it for a few things. Also we use VMware at work and it is very cool for virtualization. The thing that is really nice is I can not use VM Appliances/Instances from work at home so my programmer friends can help me figure out things.
The other thing that you might want to know is that if you do BootCamp you can use VMWare to use that partition.
It also is able to connect to cameras as long as VMWare has focus during the inserting of the USB connection.
I've tried both VMWare and Parrallels (demo versions) right after my conversion to Mac. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work. I used the transporter from Parrallels, but the conversation failed once it was on the Mac. The only thing I've found that i really need from the PC world is Quicken. Everything else runs much faster and more efficient than on my PC.
I can't personally vouch for it, as I don't use quicken... but when it was announced, a number of my mac using friends went gaga for it.
I use Quicken for Mac 2006. It works as a glorified checkbook register and I can download transactions from my bank, so that's all I really care about. I keep hearing how the 2007 upgrade is a waste of money. I think it's a dying product, but I don't know what else is out there that works at least as well...
I should have clarified. I downloaded Quicken 2007 for the Mac, but found it to be a major step backwards compared to the PC version. The user interface is very different. I suspect that Intuit does not care for the Apple crowd. For the GUI to be so different, on the same version of software as the PC, is inexcusable.
Intuit did annouce it will develop a new version for the Intel based Macs. I'll wait and see what they come up with. For now, I'm stuck with using my PC for Quicken only. I was hoping to use Parallels or VMWare, but I could not get it to work.

I also use Quicken for Windows in Parallels, as the Mac version is so spectacular craptacular. In fact, much of the application is "dead code" that they have a very tough time recompiling -- it's still using Code Warrior!
You may wanna stay tuned for MacWorld, to see if anything changes, say perhaps an entirely new version given the Mac platform is growing so quickly that Intuit had to reconsider plans to kill the Mac product entirely
With my PC...i was always logged into my Smugmug account. With my mac im lucky to stay logged in for a few hours. Pretty well each time i visit it, i have to log back in.

Do you have Private Browsing turned on in Safari? If so, turn it off.
I'll think on other issues it could be, but none come to me right now.
Gotta tell you all - and thank you all -how nice it is to work on
1. these big screens
2. monitors that actually show color and contrast properly
3. a machine that doesn't cough, choke and sputter because you have more than one image open. In fact, today I had to move 6 people into one team photo, and had all the contributing images open at once, had massive amounts of data on the clipboard, and never, not ever, did this machine whine let alone think of slowing down.
Those old boxes would have let me go for coffee between transformations or moves of a layer.
I looked at a new PowerMac at the Apple store in Indianapolis.
For grins, we wanted to try and make it stutter, and see if we could get the cooling fan to turn on..
We opened EVERY PROGRAM in its dock - 32 different programs, including Photoshop CS3, Final Cut Pro, GarageBand, Safari, iPhoto, etc. 32 programs and some of them were big, horses of programs, and the OS just kept merrily jogging along.
What other home computer can really open and run 32 separate programs? We never did get the cooling fan to kick on either.
After the Holidays, I think I am going to jump on one of these puppies, so I am open to suggestions as to configuration - processor speeds, ram etc. My inclination is 8 Gb RAM. Is that too much?

Probably any machine that has the same processor, memory, disk and bus speed as the machine you were using. Opening programs is not the same as running them, i.e., making them do real work. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with that machine, I just don't think this test proves anything other than that high-end machines of all colors are really sweet.

Well I'm impressed. A lot of Macs on display don't have any more than the base RAM and sometimes don't show off the apps real well.

I think I read somewhere that 8GB was the current price/performance sweet spot for Photoshop. I have 7GB added over several stages and it seems fine most of the time. There are times when Lightroom or Photoshop will take it all (particularly if you have enabled buffering vm to RAM before it goes to the slower scratch disk), but not all the time. We assume you already know never to buy RAM from Apple.
I think the MacPro we were trying to crash had 2 Gb RAM - we did look at - About This Mac
I know that Apple is very proud of the RAM it sells. I have purchased RAM from Crucial numerous times over the years. Last time was for RAM for my Mac Mini.
Thanks to all for their suggestions.
Processor speeds make any difference between 2.66 and the 3.0 versions?
Any value to the RAID card that Apple offers? Darned expensive, I can see that.

I assume you're talking about a mac pro and not a power mac right? In any case if you were a real man you'd get 2 quad cores with 32GB of ram (8 x 4GB sticks). Yes, it'll handle it.

Yeah this is my issue but i cant drag & drop it...it just jumps every time.
Make sure your View menu looks like this:
If it says Show Toolbar, that means it's hidden. You want it to show.
Dgrin FAQ | Me | Workshops
Well i checked that & yes..it did read as your pic so i didnt touch it...i went & did the drag & drop thing again & it worked
Im cool..ta guys.
