iTunes: "Loading Playlist window" from internetradio streams should be in the status area
When opening internet radio streams a window pops up saying that it loads the playlist of the internet stream. That window is on top of iTunes and preventing any interaction to iTunes unless it gets closed or the playlist is completely downloaded. When (more...)
Integrate the "loading playlist" window into the status display of iTunes so it doesn't block interacting with iTunes.

Dock: Give user the option to require a click at bottom of screen to reveal the Dock.
For many users, "Automatically hide and show the Dock" may be preferable to seeing the Dock all the time, but it's still a rather poor option. The problem is that the Dock far too often springs up unbidden. Horizontal scroll bars are particularly (more...)
Users should have the option of requiring a click at the bottommost 1 or 2 pixels of the screen, without which the Dock will not appear. This would not be preferable for all situations, but for many it would be ideal. I believe the absence of such an (more...)

Front Row: Resume playing music from iTunes
Opening Front row stops the music from iTunes and there is no option to resume it from iTunes in the front row menu. In Tiger, front row worked together with iTunes so it even was possible to close front row and continue playing music in iTunes (which (more...)
Starting Front row shouldn't stop playing music when opened, it should work together with iTunes like it was in Tiger.

Exposé: Automatically update when a new window opens/closes
When a window opens or closes while expose is activated, Exposé doesn't update automatically, so for example it leaves an "death" window space when a window closes while in expose, or when a new window opens it just shows the window in (more...)
Automatically update Exposé on new/closed windows.
The only downside i could imagine is that new windows wouldn't be that noticeable when many windows are open. A short highlighting of the new window in Exposé would fix that nicely, also (more...)

iCal: add todos
If there is some free space in the todo list, then a double click on the white space adds a new todo item. But if the list is full so there is no white space, the only way to add an item is to use the menubar.
One possible solution is, to add a "add todo" icon to the bottom toolbar. This would look like a +, similar to the "add a calendar"-+.
Or at the top of the list there is a static entry "add new todo" that adds (more...)

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.

Spaces: overview only on primary screen
On my dual screen setup I see the spaces overview only on my first screen. The second screen is black. This is a strange behaviour.
Show the spaces overview on each screen. Each screen should only show its own virtual desktops - not others

Every other (gui) mail programm I know has such a feature.
But in Apple Mail it's not possible. I can't send mails that automatically send an answer if the receipient gets them.

Dock: let users set the orientation
My dock is on the left side of the bottom of the screen - it's not centered. This option can only be activated via some "geek tools" like TinkerTool. Why isn't this a standard option of the Dock?
In my opinion it's much (more...)
Let the user set the dock orientation: left/beginning, right/end, center.

Click on the checkbox to uncheck/check the selected song in current playlist.
Option-click the checkbox should provide uncheck/check of all instances.

Finder: select files with keyboard
If you select a file in Finder and then use shift and arrow down, the selection is extended to include the next file. If you press shift + arrow up, I would expect to unselect the file and end up with just the original file selected.

Finder: rename files with different owner
If I want to delete a file which I'm not the owner of, then I have to enter my password (I'm in the admin group). The same happens if I want to move a file into a folder with different ownership.
But there is no way to rename a file with (more...)
Let the user rename files with different ownership the same way as normal renaming. Just ask for the password, then enable the rename mode.
