Help! iPad calendar sync issues with…: Apple Support Communities. This seems to cause issues. Very interesting. You would think this shouldn’t affect it. Why have a feature if its not tested and supported?

In Mac OS Lion, where do you find your…: Apple Support Communities. Thanks QuickTimeKirk. I didn’t know about this trick. I have typed the path in the go to folder command box.

Switch to the Finder.

Hold down the option key while using the Go menu to expose the User/Library folder.

Finder right click \. Baltwo has the solution. I have never seen this solution before. Great work.

FWIW, there’s a com.apple.LaunchServices.plist in my user’s Preferences folder.

Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste in this one-liner, hit the return key, quit Terminal, and restart:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Examining if Apple is addictive

The Tyee. I think so. It is a distinct pleasure to use. I never felt good using Windows or any other operating system. It probably was because of my early Apple experience.

To me, Apple rethought things and I valued that. I still do. If Apple ever becomes a dominant player I will probably switch to another underdog. I don’t think that a monopoly on material things is helpful. I would love to see the human spirit have a monopoly on generosity, truth and kindness.

Language. Interesting error. Nice solution by Carolyn. I have never seen this personally. I would have suspected a corrupted font for the designers that would have an issue with this.

Might be a corrupted preference file  (.plist)

Go to ~/Library/Preferences

Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.

Restart your Mac.
