Only one of my clients uses Helvetica Nue as part of their graphic standards, and to be honest, the variations within the system font set are all I need. What I had was Helvetica Overload — like hunting chipmunks with a tank. So pulling that set out was as cathartic as it was beneficial to my system.]]> Tue, 18 Dec 2012 13:26:38 PST http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/587004#Post587004 Launch DropBox Website opens Dreamweaver - WTF? http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/584914#Post584914 steveg

I just got a reply on the DB Forum. It was suggested that I check my Safari prefs to make sure it was set as the default browser. I was (and always has been), but just for giggles, I reset it, and that fixed it. Go figure!]]> Tue, 06 Nov 2012 07:22:01 PST http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/584914#Post584914 Dropbox and multiple users http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/583160#Post583160 MacGizmo

I have unlimited storage on my own domain, 50GB on BOX (free), and another 18GB on Dropbox (free)... so I've never really paid much attention to Apple, Google or MS's free storage offerings.]]> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:02:47 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/583159#Post583159 iCloud storage http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/583065#Post583065 NucleusG4

Drop box is cool... but I could store 20 GBs of data on .Mac before... and now everything in Drop box consumes sooooo much space on 4 devices. Ugh.
It's cool for many purposes... but it's a space hog compared to a typical server.]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2012 16:39:19 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/583065#Post583065 Dropbox, iDevice, iWork sync http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/581018#Post581018 Jim_

Too inconvenient. DropBox gives Finder functionality to opening the documents without having to jump through hoops to retrieve and then save the doc.

Plus he has other stuff he wants to store that isn't iApp compatible, with DB it's all in one place. iCloud is trying to lock one into all Apple products, but they do know what's best for us I guess. smirk]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:57:39 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/581018#Post581018 Safari bookmark syncing? http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/580890#Post580890 MacBozo

I've never set mine to sync bookmarks, since I've been using Firefox since Safari v3 or 4. I really need to sit here and clean up my FF bookmarks so that I can export/import them into Safari before I consider making the switch back to Safari. I really don't need all of my bookmarks synced to my iPhone anyway, since most of those sites are not optimized for mobile platforms.]]> Mon, 27 Aug 2012 11:06:51 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/580890#Post580890 Screen Sharing with iChat and Messages???? http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/580575#Post580575 Jim_

Glad it worked out for you. I use it to connect to Windows machines, and a wide range of OS X from 10.4 to 10.8. I don't know why Apple with all of its money can't make something just as compatible. They do know what's best for us I guess.

Dropbox can be used with Time Machine. I've recovered old deleted files, no problem.
The best Mountain Lion feature for me is getting the same, or better, speed I had with Snow Leopard.
Lion seemed sooo slow.]]> Mon, 30 Jul 2012 11:29:25 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/579828#Post579828
