I periodically compare Chrome, Safari, and FireFox
They keep ending in that same order of preference.
Safari is OK for OEM bundled browser.
I have also switched to Chrome in my school Windows PC.
No comparison between Chrome & IE there.

My husband found Safari so slow he switched to Chrome. He is happy with it. I now use Chrome also. I find it to be faster than Safari. Neither of us use tabs much.

Are you on Lion? Under 10.7.2, Safari seems noticeably faster thane earlier.

I am. We both run Lion. I think David's Safari is corrupted. Each time I tried to use it on his machine it stumbled along loading some sites slowly and some not at all. Chrome does run fast. He doesn't want me to try running Safari at all. I was going to do some maintenance on his machine and he is convinced Safari is going to "break" his computer. <g>
I didn't have that problem on my machines but needed to use chrome so I could help my husband when he came up with a question for me about it. When I started using Chrome I realized it was indeed faster than Safari for me too.

I suspect that you have a simple Flash plug-in problem with Safari.
It's likely that you updated Safari (possibly by updating OS X), and
now have an outdated version of Flash installed that isn't fully
compatible with the version of Safari you have installed. Chrome
sidesteps this problem by having Flash built-in.
To fix the problem with Safari, do this:
Uninstall the copy of Flash that you have installed with this
uninstaller:
<http://fpdownload.macromedia. com/get/flashpla yer/current/
uninstall_flash_player_osx. dmg>
or
http://is.gd/lrnKUG
Then download and install the latest version directly from Adobe:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ ?promoid= ISMRZ
Safari will now be completely stable, and it will likely be faster
than Chrome.

That is a common fear among Windows users. Having one's software
"break" their computer isn't a concern among Macintosh users.

The roadmap for Google's Chrome browser is not encouraging. Google
intends to drop the industry standard for streaming video for their
own proprietary format:
Google to drop H.264 support for Chrome in favour of WebM (Wired UK):

Just yesterday I was having problems: several things were running slow, and NetNewsWire kept crashing.
I shut down, performed a Safe Boot, restarted, then for good measure used Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
Back to normal; Safari fast.

I have performed one safe boot since installing Lion. I notice that there is no indicator, once the startup is complete, that you have safe booted, as with previous releases there was a line of red text proclaiming, 'Safe Boot' on the login screen.
The only indicator I get now is a status bar during the spinning cog portion of startup.
Is this the only thing I should see?? I'm assuming so.

Right.
On a laptop, you also notice that the keyboard backlight is OFF.

Exporting and Saving Quicken Data
Posted by: "D. Brett Woods" brettlyw@mac.com brettlyw
Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:02 am (PDT)
I used to fanatically keep track of all my financial stuff in Quicken 2007 for Mac.
About a year ago my job got so busy that I stopped keeping up. The sky didn't fall when I stopped entering the information or downloading it from my credit card, and I decided that I really didn't need to track the house payment, those charges at the grocery store or gas station and so on. Everything is on line now anyway, and I can just go look it up if I need to.
I still have Quicken 2007 on my MacBook Pro, but I understand that Quicken 2007 won't run under Lion. (That's what I have heard.)
Is there a way I can save the old data, or export my old Quicken data to an Excel or Numbers spreadsheet? I spent many, many years keeping track of stuff and I would just like to preserve the old data so I can go look at it, should I ever need to.
Seems like a spreadsheet would be the best.
The program has an option to export to QIF, but I don't know if I can import that to Excel or Pages.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
Brett

You can export it and load it into Quicken Essentials which does run on Lion. But it doesn't handle online bill pay. Still you can print out checks and you'll have your Quicken 2007 register.

I don't believe there's any way to get a QIF file into Excel, at least not in a way that is even remotely helpful. This is why so many people are delaying the "update" to OS 10.7 if they have complex Quicken files. You will have to switch to some other financial software, import Quicken, and pray that you get a sensible import. (So far, I have not found a single other financial program that will accurately import my Quicken files, in spite of hours and hours of working at it.)

Thank you all for your answers.
I copied the Quicken file to Quicken Essentials. Quicken Essentials doesn't copy over everything, such as things from brokerage accounts. But it at least copied over my old registers, and that was helpful.
I also did a print report of everything I had ever done, and saved it as a PDF. So, I can go look at it, which is all I really need to do.
I know I'm preaching or complaining to the choir, but it really is frustrating with Quicken. I understand the Mac has about 12% of the market share now, yet Quicken won't update Quicken 2007. The Quicken Essentials program isn't Quicken, and it is frustrating. I don't know what is wrong with those folks. Their website proclaims to support the Mac market, but they don't.
Thanks again,
Brett

All my work-related entries are yellow when they were green, and recurring home events have changed to orange, while the individual non-recurring events have remained blue. Orange is also the colour for anything to do with my children, so that's going to be confusing.
In iCal on your computer, click on "Calendars" in the upper left.
Then click on the calendar you want to change.
If you right/control click on the particular calendar, you get a menu.
Choose "Get Info",
Here you can change the name, the color, and some other things.

Thanks for your replies, but they don't address the basic issue of why iCal was so severely corrupted. It would have taken a long time to sort out if I hadn't allowed all the data to be deleted and then replaced it from my iPhone. And this isn't the same is syncing through iTunes. Why is it that iCloud is set up so that if you want to stop syncing to the cloud, you then lose all the data on your computer (or phone)?

iPhone 4 S: photos didn't transfer from old iPhone 4
Posted by: "jamesrob@sonic.net" jamesrob@sonic.net jamesrob328i
Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:02 am (PDT)
Having stood in line daily at the Apple Store in my local mall for
almost a week to get my iPad 2, I resigned myself to waiting to purchase
my iPhone 4 until the Apple Stores had availability. However, yesterday
I read some hilarious conversations users had with Siri and a report
from a guy who walked in to an ATT Store Friday evening and picked one
up with no problem.
So, I called my local Apple Store and was told they had them in stock!
The crowd at the Apple Store was larger than usual (interestingly, the
line for "other stuff" was longer than the line for new phone
purchases). Activation was quick.
I had just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 earlier in the day but hadn't
backed it up after the update, so Ibacked up the old phone again as soon
as I got home, then did a restore to the new one. Some things did not
transfer despite 2 or 3 syncs (mail accounts, google calendars, data
stored in "Things", data stored in two HandDBase database files, and the
contents of my Calendar Roll on the old phone.
My guess is that something went wrong with the completeness of the
restore from the old phone's backup to the new phone, but I was able to
get most of the stuff onto the new iPhone app by app. However, I've not
been able to get my photos out of the old iPhone and on to the new one.
In iTunes, my choices for sync include iPhoto (which I've not been using
on my computer) or a specific folder on the computer. There's no choice
for "Camera Roll." How should I go about saving the pics on my old
iPhone (and perhaps transfer selected ones to the new iPhone)?
Thanks so much.

I have a program I use called iPhone Explorer

Photos taken BY the iPhone will sync automatically (once you set it up) with iPhoto, Aperture, or Image Capture on your Mac (and Image Capture comes with the MacOS install).
Photos PLACED on the iPhone by sync through iTunes are *already* on your Mac; that's where they came from when iTunes put them on the iPhone.

I'm an avid mystery book reader, and was wondering if there is an app that shows publishers summaries of books?

I sent you privately an image capture of my directory structure (since images aren't allowed in messages on the forum).
In ./Users/Shared/ I have a folder named "_X_Applications" (left over from many years ago when I also had some "_9_Applications" as well.
In that folder there are a few select apps (like Google Earth) that I don't have a good category for, but most apps are at the next level down, in these sub-folders:
_GamesX
_Graphics
_Sound
_Telecom
_Utilities
_Words
Incidentally, the ones I still have in ./Applications/3rd-party/ are
Drobo Dashboard
DxO Optics Pro 6
Flip4Mac
Intego [a folder with all their apps]
iStat Menus
KryptonX
Lion Tweaks
Little Snitch Configuration
PhoneDisk

Got it---thanks!
I've got to remember to cmd-c and cmd-v these darned things. I slip once in awhile and drag and drop like in the old days! :) All that does now is create an alias. I know and knew that and I still find myself slipping up. Many aliases to delete if I don't catch it!

Is it still recommended to NOT install any apps on a different drive?
Thanks for the insight, Jim.

The last time I tried, it was with games only and it became a pain in the rump if for some reason that drive wasn't available. The stack, or sidebar item that referred to it became unusable and sometimes dictated recreating the link when the device was available again.
I just have not done that since.

Saving iPhoto pics to CD-R or DVD-R
Posted by: "haydn46" gcrobert@shaw.ca haydn46
Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:18 pm (PDT)
My wife has a large iPhoto collection, and many other photos which reside separately on her hard disk. Time Machine is operating as a safety factor. In addition, and for convenience in showing her collection, she would like to back up her existing collection on CD or DVD. What is the best way to do this — and is there any way to do it chronologically so that, for example, several hundred pictures from a given year or a given month could be placed on a disk and labeled appropriately? Thanks in advance.
