Don't have Safari open dmg's automatically

Submitted by dehetepappie on October 29, 2009 to Annoyance

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">
(more...)

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

Submitted by dehetepappie on October 29, 2009 to Annoyance

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

Submitted by dehetepappie on October 29, 2009 to Annoyance

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.

IP number in Show Info of a shared computer

Submitted by dehetepappie on August 17, 2008 to Annoyance

If I rightclick or command-i on a computer in the network, I would expect to be able to see its IP address somewhere. But no...not even in the More Info section. Do Apple expect me to go into the terminal for this?

Display IP number in the Show Info/More Info section of a network computer. MAC address would be a bonus.

Movie/Video files and folder mess

Submitted by dehetepappie on August 17, 2008 to Annoyance

The OS X user directory has Movies/Music/Pictures subfolders. Very logical and intuitive. Music for music, Movies for video files, etc. So when I drag a movie into iTunes where does it store the file? Right: in /Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Videos. Additionally, (more...)

Use the Music folder for music, Movies for movies.

Internal DVD drive required to play any VIDEO_TS folder

Submitted by dehetepappie on August 17, 2008 to Bug

If you unplug/remove the internal DVD drive of any Mac, OS X (DVD Player/Front Row) is then unable to play VIDEO_TS folders on the hard drive or DVDs in an external (USB) DVD drive. Has been a bug since at least Panther, never fixed. Basically forces (more...)

Fix the bug in DVD Player that an internal DVD drive has to be present in order to play DVDs.

Edit: Believe it or not, but using a hacked AppleSMBios.kext from the Hackintosh scene fixes it. Google "AppleSMBios 28". Wow. Bunch (more...)
