I wag my iMac G5 between home and office. Both areas have multiple mac networks. I keep aliases on the finder bar to quickly mount other machines and get directly to the folders I want. Whenever I accidentally click on a folder beloning to a machine in the other office network, the spinning red ball of death appears and stays for from two to ten minutes. I get a dialog box that says I can cancel the request, but it lies. The cancel menu disappears, but the ball spins on and on and on and the Finder is frozen. I have tried jiggering Directory Access every way possible, same results.

I'm running 10.4.10, have no intention of moving to Leapord for a year or two, and would like to know if this is a fixable problem or an Apple screw up.http://forums.macnn.com/images/smili...l/confused.gif

This is supposedly fixed, after 6 years, in Leopard.

Big mac. As someone who needs to keep using CS2 (along with CS3) for my clients, I'm not heading into Leopard land anytime soon. Now that Apple and Adobe are cross-marketing non-backward compatible software, I'm rethinking a lot about the future of Apple as the graphic designer's/publisher's top choice.

Thanks for the update, Big Mac.
