Re: QuickTime Nag Screen

I'm guessing Quicktime is being triggered by something on the web page that it cannot open (or it's broken...) What or why is hard to know. Examine your "home" pages, especially for a blank QT placeholder or something like that. Try simply changing your home page for a time and see if it goes away until you open your home page.
If you can find the item that is causing the problem, you can examine it for the codec that you are actually missing. Another option might be to install a general codec pack like Perian and see if that solves the problem.
Are your Quicktime and Safari installs up to date? This could be related to HTML5 and OggTheora.
Cheers,
tod

SSD Feedback — was Need Storage Recommendation Please
Posted by: "LouisD" lou@loudina.com ldina
Thu Sep 29, 2011 8:45 am (PDT)
I installed my OWC 240GB SSD drive in my MacPro yesterday. After formatting the drive with Disk Utility, I used SuperDuper to clone my old MacHD to the SSD (OSX 10.6.8, all my programs, and some data files). It took 1 hr 15 min for SuperDuper to transfer 110GB to the new drive, make it bootable and restart on the new drive. (Thanks for the suggestions on setting up the new drive, Dan.)
Worked fine, without any hitches. Programs take about 1/3 to 1/2 as long to load, and filters in Photoshop seem to have about the same boost in speed. I didn't do any before/after tests or measurements, so that is just a guess, but the speedup is substantial and noticeable.
I have about 130 GB free on my SSD boot drive. I have a separate conventional hard drive currently set up as my Photoshop Scratch disk. It's not a screamer, but it isn't a dog either. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to use my SSD boot drive as the scratch drive. I have two questions about doing this:
1. The SSD is the drive I am using for programs and OSX, so I don't want to slow things down by having them all operate from the same drive.
2. I have read that you don't want to overdo writing on an SSD drive, and I am wondering if using it as a scratch disk might appreciably shorten the life of the drive?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Lou

I have it. But the apple store is far away. But it expires next month
so I must get down there. I wish there was a phone option, or an
e-mail option, because most of my questions are one-liners. But it
helped a lot since I went from old, old software to new software last
November. I still have questions about a few things in Pages and
iPhoto, so I need to get there. I could not find any groups on line
to help with the questions. Oh, I've been an apple user since 1989,
and found it very helpful with this last upgrade.

Quicken autolaunches at login, locks up before home page completes l
Posted by: "Jim Robertson" jamesrob@sonic.net jamesrob328i
Thu Sep 29, 2011 10:28 am (PDT)
I'm meddling with my wife's MacBook Pro (1.83 GHz MacBook Pro 1.1, 2 GB RAM,
Mac OS 10.6.8) in preparation for moving it down the family food chain. I
just did System Update, which installed Safari 5.1. Afterwards, when I
logged in to her (admin) account, Safari launched itself on login to her
user account, but before her homepage completed loading the shiny Pizza
Wheel started spinning, the recursive circle in the URL address bar did the
same, and they never stopped and <Command-option-escape> told me Safari was
not responding.
Safari was NOT set as a login item in her System Preferences "Accounts"
panel. It wasn't listed as a Startup item in System Profiler. I WAS
surprised to see an item named "System Events" listed as a startup item in
her account. I couldn't find that file using Spotlight or "Find..." in
Finder (I've forgotten how to search where Apple doesn't want us to).
However, I disabled "System Events" as an account login item anyway, and it
made no difference.
When I tested in the Guest user, Safari launched to completion.
After deleting the two Safari plist files at
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple. safari
Then logging out and rebooting (twice), eventually I got Safari to load to
completion in her account, and I noticed a Toolbar at the bottom of the
Window named "Television Fanatic" and a Menu not present in Safari on other
Macs or other accounts on her Mac, named "Search Engine" (the only item in
that menu being "Television Fanatic." Curiously, the Safari "Help" Menu list
of installed plugins didn't list this, but the suspect Toolbar itself had an
option for deleting it, which I did. Problem Solved!!! Safari no longer
autolaunches, and when I launch it myself it behaves as it should.
Then, a Google Search on "Television Fanatic" led me to LOTS of complaints
about it making Safari unusable.
Figuring this out still leaves me with a few questions:
1. How do I search for files that usually aren't visible in Spotlight (I
know it's been discussed here many times previously, but the Yahoo Groups
search tool for the group is currently broken).
2. Does anyone know what the App "System Events" is? (If I can find it I
probably can say something more about it).
3. Eventually, I found "System Events" using System Profiler, and now I'm
curious why it would have been listed as a login item for her account. It's
/System/Library/CoreServices/ System Events.app
But it's not listed as a startup item for any other accounts on this Mac or
on other Macs

I'm not sure about all your questions, but here's an interesting forum exchange about it found by googling "System Events Mac OS X".

As for searching for things not covered by Spotlight, I use (and love) HoudahSpot.

Updating Safari 5.0.5 -> 5.0.6?
Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468
Thu Sep 29, 2011 11:58 am (PDT)
I am running Safari 5.0.5 under Snow Leopard. (The why has to do with
feature changes that I don't like in 5.1+.)
I located version 5.0.6 at Apple.com but when I try to install it I'm
told that it is only for Leopard and requires OS X 10.5.8+.
Surely this should work on a *later* version of OS X than what is
originally intended for? It just seems that since 5.0.5 works just
fine, why would a small update not also work?
I have Pacifist and can see all the files in the install package. I'm
a bit out of my depth here: what files should be installed from the
package, and where?
Is there a simple way to bypass the "Big Brother" message and install it?
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

I used Pacifist to bypass the "This version of Safari cannot be
installed on this computer" message and forced the install.
The bottom line is that Safari 5.0.5 will run under SL. Safari 5.0.6,
even if installed, will not run under SL. Go figure.
Safari 5.0.5 can be downloaded here:

They told you so.
Could it be that it was a patch for 10.5, but that 10.6 does not need the patch or the architecture has changed so that it can not use it?

Reappearing tracking cookies and how to delete them?
Posted by: "vixpix" vixpix@frontiernet.net nyskater
Thu Sep 29, 2011 4:34 pm (PDT)
After hearing about Facebook tracking our every move on the Internet, I was interested in removing all the cookies in Safari. However, when deleting all the cookies from within Safari, they reappear within minutes, even though I have not visited any of those sites. Before long, more cookies are reloading. Resetting Safari does not work. Nothing works. There are dozens of reappearing cookies tracking me.
Can someone tell me how to permanently delete cookies? What folder do they all reside in?

If you are using Lion, enable the developer menu, and select the option

Okay, I enabled the developer menu and clicked on Send Do Not Track HTTP Header, but that does not work. I have deleted the cookies and they still reappear. The question is, "How do I keep them from reappearing?" Browsing in private mode does nothing to keep them from coming back either. They all appear as soon as a new page is opened.

Resetting Safari does not work. Nothing works. There are dozens of reappearing cookies tracking me.

I think EyeTV from elgato.com is the only game in town for Macs.
