Keyboard selection support
Shift + Option + {arrow, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down} should work for navigating through text, folders, the Finder window, etc.
For example, when selecting files to move, Shift + Option + Page Down should select all files on each screen (more...)
Add more support for keyboard selection using these key combinations. See Windows XP, Vista, etc.

'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...)

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.

Whenever i'm in an application other than Mail and click on an e-mail link, a new message windows in Mail.app is openned but stays behind Mail's main window.
I don't know if that has to do with a Spaces problem but it happens all (more...)
New message window should always come in the foreground.

Click-Through: no consistent behaviour
If you click on a file in an inactive Finder window then the file gets selected. A click on a toolbar icon doesn't do anything. iCal reacts the same way. But Safari and Mail have no click-through. If Mail is inactive, you can't select a different (more...)
Either completly deactivate click through for all apps or make it the default for all apps.

Odd phrasing in iTunes Smart Playlist
A decidedly minor annoyance. Create a Smart Playlist that relies on the Year field. The choices include a year greater than or less than a given year.
The words after and before are more appropriate. Although some years may be considered greater than others, I suppose!

Finder: Wronge crendentials in "connect to server" dialog
If you connect to a network share via de "connect to server" dialog, normally after some time you're asked to enter the username and the password.
If you enter the wrong credentials after some time a message is displayed that informs (more...)
The try again button should allow the user to enter the credentials again. The field could be prefilled. So if the user enter the right credentials and the reason why this failed is another one, then the user has just to click ok.

Customizable "Show item info" in Finder.
Show item info of Icon View in Finder is rather limited, it should be able to show the date last modified and created, and other information like size.
Allow a drop down list to customize "Show item info" in Icon View.

When you click a 'folder' (set of bookmarks) in the 'Bookmarks bar' you can't switch between various 'folders' by hovering like you do with the apple menu bar, you have to click each time to get the list of bookmarks.

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.

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.

Almost in every menu in OS X when you want to select a menu item if
you for example by accident miss that item for a few pixels and you click on the empty space the whole menu closes. Most problematic when there are a lot of submenus
opened (more...)
The menu should not close if you miss the item.

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.

Show metadata in the Finder
OSX handles metadata associated to files but behaves randomly at showing this data to the user.
The preview pane of the Finder Column View shows less metadata as the Finder Info window shows. The Tree View of the Finder is unable to show (more...)
The Finder Info window and Column View preview pane must be able to display the same amount of metadata as the mdls terminal command does (example: aperture, exposure... of photos, bitrate, length... of music).
The Finder Tree View must (more...)
