Yes, this was the idea that I came up with and will use. Honestly, I never used hot spots in SL, and don't understand the concept as it applies to what I do or how it would make it easier; something else to look into when I finally get Lion. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and

Daniel, Thanks for the suggestion. Before reading your post I received an off-list note advising that I go into terminal and enter: killall AlertAll and the install appeared to have completed successfully. Hopefully that iTunesHelper app won't come back to haunt me later. Best regards.

Hi Allison! So since the last suggestion I've seen that people can do a lot more with hotspots in Lion! So if you've changed to lion look for posts about activity's! So to set a hot spot just press vo+shift +any of the numbers and vo will say [saved as hotspot , 2, 3, 4, and so on] That pod cast

Hello Carolyn, You can use hotspots in any order you like. It's funny, I'm so used to crossing my hands for all kinds of commands that I never thought of starting with hotspot 0. Cheers, Anne On 22 Jul 2011, at 18:34, carolyn Haas wrote: Hi Mark and Anne: Could he use them in rears

Hello, all! I've just found a major, major problem with lion, and am wondering if anyone else has experienced it yet. This one is almost serious enough to make me want to run back to snow leopard, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but my questions and concerns regarding downgrading

Hi Missy, I haven't experienced that significant of a battery drainage yet, but there is a difference. Also, I wouldn't advise downgrading to LS just on that issue alone, give apple time to work out the various kinks. Your mac may have been doing others things using Wifi without you knowing,

Hi Krister, I'm sure I won't do your question justice here, as I am still fairly new to quicknav myself. Perhaps someone else can help fill in the gaps as needed. Actually, I didn't use quicknav very much in SL either, because I also found it a little confusing. However, I like it so much

I haven't used it that much off of ac, so can't say too much, but I don't think I noticed anything out of the ordinary. Is spotlight still indexing your files perhaps? This would probably cause major battery drain. Do a command spacebar and then vo down arrow to see if it says anything about not

I understand, but for battery life to be cut nearly in half just isn't acceptible. I can't blame wifi; used it on battery in the exact same manner under snow leopard, and like I said, I always got 8 hours, if not a little more. Still, I'm not going to downgrade just yet. I don't know how, and

nope, it's definitely not indexing any more. I checked that yesterday when I was trying to solve that apple.com.doc.extra mystery; that's still showing up too by the way. I only have about 20 GB of stuff on my hard drive anyway, so at least in theory, it should have finished indexing that on
