What? I didn't understand the problem. Could you be a bit more precise?mAV3 said:well i found expose while tweaking my display and i find it very interesting and usefull but unfortunately i can only copy a track from 1 location to another cant put it in a folder
Can you drag a file onto the bread crumb bar to put in in that folder? I haven't tried this.gx_saurav said:

Oh yeah, when you drag and drop a file between two drives, the operating system will make a copy, not a cut. You'll find this same bahaviour even on Windows. But then, Windows has the Cut option which Mac OS X lacks.
Well, I guess that makes one more reason why the 'Cut' option is absolutely essential for some users. Hope Apple FTFF in Leopard!

Well, then the bread crumb bar does not share the slightest shred of similarity with spring loaded folders. Spring loaded folders are not supposed to aid navigation, but enhance the support for drag and drop maneuvers.

Well, thats how we do thing in Windows
Select a file -> Ctrl + X -> Using the Bread crumb bar jump to the folder where you want to go, -> Ctrl + V
This just in...

Command + Shift + 3 = Full screen
Command + Shift + 4 = Selection
Command + Shift + 4 <pause> Space = Any window (this is the one you should have used, instead of minimising everything to the dock)
That is hard!
BTW, PNG has not been developed by Microsoft. It is an open format.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
This is another thing I never liked in Mac & I m sure any sane person won't.
Weird & long key combinations
Sometimes you need to press 4 keys to do a simple task. Hey arya, Print Screen key is not working, isn't it command+shift+3 for print screen in Mac?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
It certainly is hundred times better than pressing print screen and then pasting it in an image editing program and saving it.
Yes, the shortcut is that. I posted it just now.
BTW, if you don't like the default shortcuts, you can very easily change them in the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane. The screenshot shortcuts are the first items on the list. You can even add new shortcuts for system wide tasks and even specific applications.
So quite with the complaining and use the system a bit before declaring that something is not right. There is hardly anything that Windows can do and Mac OS X cannot. (Don't start enumerating now and don't start a debate, please! Let these thread be about Mac OS X only.)

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Well, I can't think of any reason why that would happen. It works absolutely fine on my Mac.
Try repairing the permissions for your hard disk. You'll find the option in Disk Utility.
And Grab is just a basic way to take screenshots as you wish to. That's all. It just saves the images in a lossless, uncompressed format. If you want advanced options, you'll need a more sophisticated screenshot utility.
I never even use Grab though. The system wide shortcuts do the job for me and PNG is my favoured format anyway.

Is it still in the dock? I guess u changed the location of your application folder from the usual place to dock. Drag it back to where it was, now don't ask me where it usually is cos I don't know. arya help him plz.
To get a deleted thing back, look into trash in dock. open it & drag & drop to where u need it. If it not there then sorry, upgrade to MacOS X leopard cos it has Time machine, macs do not have a backup/system restore application as of yet.
Arya, tell me a proper Music player for Mac other then iTunes. If nothing else works I will just insall Winamp in cross over & use it
