When you say that the whole system freezes do you still have a display
but with everything that you were working on literally frozen, mouse
won't move, no cmd-tab switching etc? When this happens the only option
is to hold down the power button for 10 seconds?

If this is the case, then I am having similar problem and I run the
exact same configuration of software and hardware. I have not yet found
a way to have the problem repeat.

Does the console log reveal anything?

Have you tried disabling the Little Snitch UI Agent?

Have recently installed it - fine here.

Similar here - 2.4Ghz but rest the same.

All working fine here, widgets included. What's the widget you're installing?

  iPhone queries         


Author: Brettster
Date: May 1, 2008 22:42

There are two things I would like to be able to do with my iPhone.

1. Make voice memos. Frequently I'll have an idea I want to record,
but as far as I can tell, there's no obvious way to make a voice memo
on the iPhone. Is there a downloadable application?

2. Record phone calls (i.e., in conjunction with my iMac).

Are either of those objectives achievable?

Thanks!

Hah. Those Suntories had better make hay while their rising sun
shines. As I write, in Norfolk cellars, casks of one-day-to-be-
gracious English whisky are maturing their contents. In I-have-
no-idea-how-many-years, an astonished world of boozers will swig
and marvel at What Man Hath Wrought. (Or they may spit it out.)

Do you mean it disengages as soon as you removed your fingers from the
buttons? If so, you do need to take your fingers off all 3 buttons at
the same time.
