Comment on Leopard: problems revisited, failing to minimize, .Mac, and a couple of successful installations by Daniel Tucker

I just unchecked the “enable spaces” button and low and behold it fixed the minimize buttons. After enabling spaces again it stayed fixed so as a temporary fix I’m just going to make an applescript that disables spaces, enables spaces and sets my spaces hot corner up again.

I’ve had this problem on and off I think since I bought my MacBook Pro a few months ago. SOOO annoying!

Comment on 3’s USB modem on my Mac - liberating technology by dmlenton

There might be other reasons for having SMS on your computer as well as on your phone, but the primary one in this case is to receive the message with your password from 3 when you register the broadband modem (as it gets sent to the broadband modem’s SIM number).

That said, it’s simple enough to take the SIM out of the modem and put it in a 3 phone temporarily (assuming, of course, that you have one) to receive the SMS message with the password.

I have just sent for one of these. However, I note I can not register or even visit the My3 website with firefox (It brings up that the site uses an old SSL protocol). I have emailed them and I hope this is fixed soon or that I can use your method above.
As for the SMS thing. I really didnt understand why you would need SMS on a mobile broadband when it’s on the phone, does this mean you can dial the number and possibly use SKYPE to answer (maybe in the future, if not)?

I just started to experience the minimize grayout bug this morning, and I don’t use Spaces on my iMac. I just Googled it and it seems everyone is a bit confused by this one.

I’m having the same problem. How strange. Running Fusion full screen seems to invoke the issue.

Yes, it hasn’t gone away for me either. I’m sure it’s related to Spaces, as I haven’t had the same thing happen on my iBook, which doesn’t have Spaces enabled.

Update. Sadly, it appears that the grayed out minimize button has returned again.
I’m almost certain that this has to to do with Spaces, especially apps that are maximized within an space.

Either this is a bug, or a “feature” that I’ve failed to understand.

Hopefully everyone’s running 10.5.2 by now as well as Leopard Graphics Update. So far, I’ve yet to see the problem. Let’s hope it stays this way!
