For today ’s column , rather than serve a lone master entree , I offer a humble photographic plate special of three items — ranging from iTunes 10 crash to iWork for iPad data file sharing .
QuickTime may cause iTunes to crash
If you find the precise same - named data file in more than one of these fix ( most likely one in a /Library directory and another in ~/Library directory ) , delete one of the duplicate . This should eliminate the crash .
Does it matter which repeat you delete ? Yes , it can .
Choosing to delete a duplicate from a /Library folder mean that the file will no longer be available to any of the other account on your Mac . This could be a trouble if one of your other accounting does not have a copy of the file in their Home ( ~ ) directory . If so , they will wind up up with no access to the file .
On the other hand , if you erase the file from your Home directory location , and other accountsdohave the duplicate in their plate directories , they will still have the iTunes crashing problem — until they erase the duplicate from their own base directories .
Choose you toxicant . In the tenacious run , expect Apple to update iTunes so that the program is no longer susceptible to this glitch .
Mobile Safari refuses to make calls
One of the peachy features of Safari on an iPhone is that , if you tap on a phone number display on a connection page , Safari recognizes it as a phone number and offer to call the number , shifting you to the Phone app if you go for . Recently , a colleague here atMacworldfound she could no longer get this call feature to work .
The locating was easy . The JavaScript option , located in the Safari division of the iPhone ’s preferences app , had unknowingly been switched to Off . enable it again bushel the calling feature .
File sharing with iWork for iPad apps improved
AsI have overlay elsewhere , file sharing in the iWork for iPad apps ( Pages , Keynote , and Numbers ) is probably the apps ’ weakest , most badly enforce feature film . Apple has start out to address this issue with the recent 1.2 update for iWork apps .
