When looking at the latest albums that one adds to his/her library, it'd be useful if the tracks within each album appeared in order. There are a couple of workarounds such as using applescripts, or a smart playlists, but none prove to be an ideal (more...)
A possible solution could be to add a new property such as "Date Added by Track#" or "Album by Date Added" so that all tracks within an album are shown in ascending track # order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc ) regardless of whether the listing (more...)

WYSIWYG Font lists in Fontpanel, Fontbook & iWork/iLife apps
The font panel and font lists in iWork/iLife apps aren't previewing fonts in the list and the preview area is only for the selected font, so its hard to choose fonts if you don't know the exact name of it.
Preview every font in the font list of the font panel.

Applications can set active desktop in Spaces
Individual applications are able to change the active desktop in spaces. In many cases, this is not intentional. This is a usability disaster. There is absolutely no reason why a space should be changed in response to anything but direct user instruction.
Do not allow the active desktop to be changed by any means other than user selection.

No 'Terminal Services' equivalent for OS X Server
OS X really needs a Terminal Services server. Supposedly it wouldn't currently work because it's too difficult to adapt the Quartz graphics engine to work on a virtual screen, but it really limits businesses who would prefer to run OS X on (more...)

Finder: Connect to Server & Spaces
If you open the "connect to server" dialog, it will bring you to the space where you opened it the last time.
But as it is a dialog, it should be opened on the space you are currently working on. This happens even if you don't have (more...)

iTunes ignores the system-wide 'Check for updates' setting
iTunes still checks for updates even if I have turned off 'Check for updates' in the Software Updates system prefeference pane. Users have to manually turn off updates in iTunes itself.
This is absolutely infuriating for novice (more...)
iTunes updates can separately be disabled in the application itself, but because it is an Apple application, it should respect the system-wide update setting.
