Does anyone know how to reference a page number in Pages? I'm making a table of contents for a user guide, and there has to be a better way to keep track of what page something is on than manually.

Edit: holy poo poo I'm retarded. There is a Table of Contents under Insert.

Edit 2: I take it back. There are other areas where I want to link the reader to another section [see Section 5.1, p. ###]. Is there any way to make the ### pull the page number of whatever section I'm referencing?

If Apple is adamant about bringing some mobile paradigms over to MacOS X, I wish they'd let us click on the titlebar to scroll a window's contents to the top. I find myself wishing I could do that all the time rather than spin my mousewheel.

That doesn't make sense for a window the same way it does for a UIView, though. The titlebar is already a handle to move the window around.

Of course, I'm still mad they hide the scrollbars in Lion.

Why not just hit the "Home" key? It's the top of page, and "End" is bottom of the page.

It seems that for the most part, there's a preference (hidden or not) to revert just about every Lion feature back to something more like Snow Leopard.

Yep, and prepare for the people who toggle those preferences to complain loudly when 10.8 sets Lion's behavior as default and removes those preferences.

Is it possible to add this feature to a program like mplayerx?

Theoretically yes, but I think most of the indie developers don’t want to tick off Apple by using the hack required to get Airplay running via third party apps. (apple doesn’t want third party apps to use the airplay protocol, but the private key encryption for it was reverse engineered a few months ago)

I guarantee that Lion is the last version of Mac OS X. There won't be a 10.8.

The next thing we'll see is Mac OS 11.

It would be fitting that an OS arguably designed to start mimicking the interface of smaller devices start being named after smaller more agile cats :3:

That was referring to iOS (and indeed AirPlay for everything is coming in iOS 5), not to say that it won't come to the Mac eventually, but there's nothing there indicating that.

I'm setting up a machine for a buddy of mine. From what I can tell, he got into that whole mac antivirus scam and for whatever reason trying to remove it on his own caused this os x install to no longer boot.

Anyway, so I've got Lion installed on a new drive in his old machine and I noticed that it doesn't come with JRE but its available through software update. Is this going to get him in trouble in the future when he clicks malicious poo poo on the web? I figure anything thats going to do anything bad will at least require him to put in his password right?

Also, I still have his old os drive. Is there an intelligent way in Lion to copy over all of his personal files into the same respective locations including his music, playlists, ratings, etc?

Migration Assistant in Applications/Utilities might help, though you should make sure to avoid copying applications so that it doesn't pick up any nasty stuff.

To keep iTunes' metadata, just copy the whole iTunes folder from inside <user>/Music.

What are the options if you completely want to restore a 2011 Mac Mini back to factory default OS (if you hork the OS and want to go back to default, or if you ge a new hard drive)? Can Lion's "Internet Recovery" reinstall the whole thing?

Yep. If you hork just the OS, you can reinstall from the recovery partition. If you hork the whole disk, you can reinstall via the EFI (BIOS for PC refugees) downloading the recovery partition for you from the internet (even via Wi-Fi!) into RAM and then booting from it.

I think Internet recovery is available in 2011 Mac Mini, Macbook Air always, and in 2011 MB Pros that have the latest firmware update applied.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/

You can also stick Lion on a thumb drive, or extract the recovery partition to a thumb drive.

Java will only prompt to install when you're installing something that needs Java. Java applets on the web just won't appear. Install Chrome and he'll always have a browser with an up-to-date version of Flash.

Hes on chrome now so thats fine but I think there are certain Java things chrome won't run and that might get him to click on bad things.

I like the lack of scroll bars in Lion. The windows look so much cleaner without them. However I didn't know about that setting for scroll bars, I am sure I am going to have people at my work asking about that.

On Snow Leopard and earlier versions, if I shutdown my computer it'd shutdown almost immediately. But ever since moving to Lion, a lot of times the OS will just hang with the spinning indicator on a gray screen for a minute or 2 (or more.) Anybody have any else getting this? What the heck is the OS doing when all I want it do is shutdown?

On this note, expect this to dramatically improve as apps release Lion-compatable versions. Apps that adhere to Lion's new development standards (notify OS X when app can be killed or not, implement auto-save features, etc.) will quit much faster.
