Hi,
Seems i found a good website for mac lovers.

Have u ever tried to connect a macbook to 2nd monitor?

Do you know how to do so ? What devices do i need to purchase? 

thanks,

Michael Smith

To whom it may concern.
I want to congratulate the owners of this web site for the outstanding range of information made available for those who have just been introduced to the Mac.

I am used to the PC worldview and found the transition very difficult until I discovered your site.  It was not a matter of concepts of use but where are the relevant commands in Mac that eluded me.  The help file on Leopard is not as instructive as some claim. But your site is more practical and simple and elegant in its explanations than anything I've seen anywhere.

Thank you for making the transition so enjoyable. May you prosper.

Michael

Hola!, soy el Cuac! de México, D.F., y si, soy un "Mac lovers", tengo 15 años utilizando Mac, y me encanta tunearlo, aquí va mi pregunta: ¿Hay algún concurso de Mac tuneados?, he estado buscando en internet y todo lo que encuentro es para PC, ups!, ojalá y sepan algo y me puedan avisar, ya que "creanme" vale la pena ver mi Mac, tiene autopista, ventiladores, luces, sonidos, cuarzos, etc.
Espero sus comentarios... en español.... ¿va?.

Gracias.... Çuac!

Hello, Like the site! 

Alexa A.

I followed your exact directions on changing my default folder icons to the glass folder icons. However, they all worked except the generic folder and open folder icons. They all show up as document icons! But, when I go back into the resources folder and the corebundle that you have to right-click to get into, the genericfoldericon is the glass icon, not a document icon. I'm not sure why it is doing this. Can you please help? thanks!

sorts??

Hi, I came across your great article of 200 nature wallpapers.  I was wondering if when researching for this wallpaper, you came across our website, www.mlewallpapers.com.  I think we have some pretty nice rock/pebble and waterfall wallpapers.  In any case, I hope you would consider us for a future article.  Thanks!

Dear UsingMac Admin, while browsing your webstie, some unwanted comments found on "http://www.usingmac.com/2007/11/21/mac-os-x-leopard-200-productivity-booster-hotkeys". Just wanted to inform you that..

Thanks for reminding me, Joseph. Those spams have successfully penetrated my spam protection but luckily I've managed to delete them as soon as I read your comment. Thanks again.

Hi,

It's only been three months since I switched over from XP to OSX and I absolutely love it: it just makes life behind your computer screen easier, simpler.  Since then I discovered you blog and indulged myself in the world of Apple keyboard shortcuts and even installed Quiclook plugins.  Because of QL's speed I would like it to make de default viewer for pics/mp3/pdf's and other ... but where is the QL app situated ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx,
David

Totally Awesome site and very informative.. I am an apple user since October of last year and still havent used half the applications on my machine.  Hopefully this site will simplify concepts for me..... a picture is worth a thousand words!  Thank you guys so much for doing this and sharing it with the world.

Hi,

I'm a fairly new Mac user almost a year now and have come to really enjoy your web site. It's one of the sites I visit several times a week for tidbits of information about my iMac, hints, tips and such. 

Also I noticed you are probably LDS by your occasional ads. While I'm not LDS I know a bit about the Church having attended and graduated from BYU some time ago. This comment is of no value just something I thought I'd mention. 

Anyhow I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your hard work, keep it up I appreciate it!

Your RSS feed always seems to have duplicate entries. I use Google Reader for my RSS feeds. You might want to look into it. That is all.

Hi,

Is there a way to manipulate the behavior of pop-ups ?  Like when you change the extension you get a pop-up asking you 'are you sure' ... isn't it possible to choose the option with your keyboard arrows instead of clicking ?

This may sound stupid but it's just one of those little things that I was used to in Windows.

Enjoy,
d.

ps: please cast your vote out tomorrow all native american readers !!!

You can use Tab to switch the highlighted button and use Spacebar to confirm your selection :)

Asking for publishing to Japanese magazine

Hello.

My name is Yumeki Kobayashi
I belong to a Japanese editorial company"HANAZONO SHINSHA"
 as an editor of a computer magazine, "Mac100%"

The book has two CD-ROM as a supplement,
 and the CD-ROM's contents are linked to contents of the book.
 In the book, there is a section which introduce attractive desktop accessories.
 I want to introduce your wallpaper on site in that section of magazine and CD-ROM.
 But the wallpaper is not published, and made a form of introduction of the site. 
 Because login is necessary if it downloads in your site. 
 
I want to know permit or not.


 Thank you.

Hi, I go to this website daily to check out your great submissions!
I was just wondering, on the next issue in UsingMac, could you create a Hardware tweak tutorial, where we can see how to change hard drives, memory and optimize our system (physically)!

I just came across your very interesting website and maybe you can help me address the most annoying feature of using a Mac (I'm using an Intel iMac on Leopard). Is there any way I can increase the font sizes of the left hand column for finder? Similarly can I increase the main window font to more than 16 points? On a similar topic what about doing the same for the bookmarks column of Firefox? Many thanks in advance.

I have a suggestion, you should make a Twitter account so you can announce when your going to make a new post. It would be really helpful.
