Try using a UNIX terminal to do file copy for large files
eg.
$ cp /folder2/sourcefile /folder1/destinationfile

If you are doing copy from different drive be sure to note the mountpoint

Hey people, i've got trouble installing and log into messenger for mac 7.1. Once i downloaded and install 7.1, i can't seem to be able to login. I'm using 6.0 currently and hoping to upgrade to 7.1. Anyone knows what's the problem? It'd be good if you could teach me how to do it. Thanks.

Hide files and folders

How do you hide files and folders in OSX?

Is there a way where I can set password protection for folders where OSX will prompt for password before anyone can view its contents?

retail store tends to offer packages.. like in my case, epicentre offered me a 99$ 3 year apple care upon purchase of a alu macbook..

Up to your own preference really...and whether you want to pay by credit card installments etc.

Create a encrypted disk image.

Hello, newbie here need help.

See ah, for the longest time whenever I enter "Google" in Firefox's URL field I would be brought to google.com automagically. Same goes to Toyota, Honda, apple, whatsoever. My default has always been a .com site.

KNN.... that day I was forced to install a "Download Toolbar" firefox add-on belonging to a russian file server.

Since then, and after deinstalling the add-on, my default is now .ru.

Google.ru, toyota.ru., www.apple.com/ru/ etc.

How har? How to get my .com back?

The defaulting to .com still works for my Safari... so it's a Firefox only thingy.

Thanks.

Check your firefox settings... Enter about:config in your Firefox address bar and go through the list.

Have you tried Firefox -> Preferences... -> Content -> Languages -> Choose and select English/United States [en-us]?

Not sure if that helps... sorry.
