[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 615086, member: 17032"] 1. Maybe you could try the Column view in Finder? That will give you a proper view of what folders you are in and such. I take it you are viewing through the thumbnail view right now. 1. iTunes recognises your ID3 file tags and so names it. So if your track ID3 says "Untitled" you can't really blame iTunes. However, since it is easy to change ID3 tags, you can pretty much rename your entire library within a few minutes. 2. If a file is locked, it is locked. Computers are not human beings. They are mathematical. It can't do a thing if a file is locked cause that's what the feature is. Now I take it Locked is the same as "Read Only" in Windows. I also think Read-Only is applied to files burnt to CDs which is why they appear Locked in Mac OS X. Try using ethernet or external HDD to transfer files. 3. iPhoto doesn't have CoverFlow, true. 4. Disappearing Dock? You might have enabled the hide dock feature. Just hit Command+Option+D and it should stay there. 5. Installing Apps: You better take a good look at this guide (or so many others on the net): [url]http://www.silvermac.com/2006/how-to-install-application/[/url] [/QUOTE]
