Play/Pause (F8) button forces to open iTunes in Snow Leopard
When you use Spotify for example, and want to pause the playback by pushing the Play/pause (F8) button, the playback is paused, but iTunes is opened at the same time. VERY annoying!
Even more annoying is the fact that this is an added feature (more...)
Solution 1: Make it behave like in Leopard again!
Solution 2: In keyboard settings, allow user to control which programs the button opens/pauses and how.
Not a solution, but a clumsy workaround:
Set QuickTime Player (more...)

Macbook: Lowest brightness level (black screen) is a bit misleading
When you want to leave your Macbook on but turn off the display only, you have two choices:
- ctrl-shift-eject
- reduce display brightness to zero
The first one isn't obvious to a newbie, because it's a hidden shortcut. (more...)
Solution 1: In zero brightness, ANY key press should lit up the screen to the lowest brightness level. (This is harmful in case a person wants to keep the display off while typing the keyboard. That may be needed in a presentation situation or when using (more...)

Apple! Stop stereotyping PCs!
Apple, you are extremely childish using a PC monitor with a Windows 9x style BSOD as an icon for PCs on a computer network under Mac OS X. At least Microsoft don't stereotype your products!
Quit poking stereotypes at Microsoft, and everything will be fine.

In the Dock, there is a section where you can place folders to get quick access to them. In the settings of those folders, you have (among others) the option to sort them by 'Date Added'. The behaviour of 'Date Added' is described (more...)

'Date deleted' column in Trash
There should be a 'date deleted' column in the Trash so that you can find easily what you have recently deleted.
It's a pain in the ass if you need a file you put into the Trash last week, but can't remember its name. (more...)

QuickLook to loop video files
I have lots of different videos (for example animation walkcycles that are no more than a couple of seconds long) that I usually like to watch in loop.
QuickLook is great for browsing through them quickly, but it's very annoying not (more...)

When trying to eject a disk if a file or folder is in use, the user is given the following generic warning:
"The disk ... can't be ejected because one or more programs may be using it"
The problem is that it (more...)
Specify which program/s or file/s are in use so that the user may take proper action.

Pages: Enable copy for selected text of a given style
There is an option in Pages which enables you to select all uses of a given style (see attached screenshot). Unfortunately one can't do anything with this selected text. Would be nice to be able to copy this selection.

Mail: Conversation View in threaded mail summary
Mail allows viewing mails in threads but only shows a summary of the conversation (subject, date, sender) on the summary mail - but not the content of the mails. To view the content of the mails every mail still has to be opened one after another.
If "Organise by Thread" is enabled, the mail summary of the threaded mails should be improved by a Conversation View. If the mails are very huge or the conversation is very long, older mails automatically should collapse (similar to gmail).

Trying to rename a folder in use results in unhelpful dialog
When trying to rename a folder in use, an unhelpful misleading dialog shows up "An unexpected error occurred (error code -8065)".
Display a more helpful dialog such as "Operation can't be completed while folder is in use". There should not be any "unexpected" or "error" wording. It's not unexpected, it's a normal operation that's (more...)

There is no native support for read/write NTFS in OS X
Currently there is no native support for write mode on NTFS disks under OS X. Only read from NTFS formatted disks is supported. The situation is perhaps more complicated than it seems as probably there are some legal issues between Apple and Microsoft (more...)
Luckily for now there are some free alternatives ( like NTFS-3G etc. ), but I really think that this should work straight out of the box.

Don't have Safari open dmg's automatically
By default, Safari opens every DMG it downloads and starts the install script within. Together with the omnipresent automatic download-on-page-load functionality (eg: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=URL_to_document">

Don't let Safari automatically open DMG's by default. And don't call this option "open safe files after downloading". DMG's are not always safe files! At least give the user some warning that he's opening a file has (more...)

Front Row stops playing music once you exit the Music section
OK so I'm playing some music through Front Row, and decide I want to look at a few photos. As soon as I move up to the main menu to get to Pictures, the music stops. Who thought this was a good idea?
Only stop playing music when the user selects something to play that has audio.

Front Row will not play rented movies
OK so we can rent movies in the Store but only watch them through iTunes or via an AppleTV, and not through Front Row? Way to go Apple!
Get your asses in gear and spend some time coding on that redheaded stepchild of yours called Front Row. YouTube and Flickr support like the AppleTV also wouldn't hurt.
