Hi Harry
I also run Applejack as a routine maintenance app to clear the hairballs
out periodically... along with Randy's list of apps.
http://applejack.sourceforge. net
Runs in single user mode and is automated as much as you want/need.
Cheers

Hi Jurgen:
Yes, I ran AJ as well. I always keep it installed. AJ's probably the easiest, all around maintenance app out there. No GUI, just straight forward terminal. Quick and easy!
Thanks!
Harry

Follow Up:
I believe I've tracked this problem down to the new Growl package: v1.3. This is the commercial version that is available on the Mac app store.
I am still testing, but am 99% sure. Why it's happening? Not for me to figure out. The developer will be notified and I won't install it again until this is resolved.
I have moved from account to account, for a total of 3 user accounts on my Mac, and each time, the bug would show up within 3 restarts. The startup items would disappear on the 2nd or 3rd restart. I was unable to add them again with any success.
I have been running without a hitch for the past 15 hours or so, with many restarts as I am reinstalling OpenSUSE and have had to retry that install 3 times until it was successful.
I am not going to jump the gun on this one, and nothing shows up in the system logs, but I'm pretty sure.
Film at 11 ! :)

Well, here's the story: Up until about 10 minutes ago, I was positive that was the problem. After many hours without the glitch, it showed up without Growl 1.3 being in. I give. Time for an archive and install, I suppose.
Glad I made a boot disc when I had the chance.
I'm tearing my hair out here, Jim.
I'll figure it out sooner or later.
Harry

Lion backup
Posted by: "us2forever" us2forever@frontiernet.net rksangelkayann
Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:20 am (PDT)
All the reading I have done says that I need to buy a thumb drive of Lion from Apple to have a backup. Can't I make one on my own?
Also, I would like to search the past posts before asking a question that may have been asked in the past but no matter what I put into the search, I never get any results. Does anyone have any hints on using it?
Thank you,
Kay

Howdy.
When you download Lion to your Mac's Desktop and BEFORE you install
Lion you can make a DVD Lion boot disc and install and maintenance disc
using your Disk Utility.
In the Lion download BEFORE you install it is a disk image file. Use
this and Disk Utility to make the Lion DVD disc to keep on hand for
emergencies.
Or, make a thumb drive for Lion. Or, both.

Pages - still looking for a group

Does anyone know of a group for Pages? I've googled and checked
Apple, etc, but not finding my specific questions anywhere. I'm sure
the questions are not difficult, but still trying to find a place. LOL
Appreciate your help,

Try looking for a group that deals with iWork. That is the suite of which Pages is one element.

Any MacBook Pro update rumors?
Posted by: "Jim Robertson" jamesrob@sonic.net jamesrob328i
Wed Oct 19, 2011 10:00 pm (PDT)
I've been watching the flow of MacBook Pro models through the Apple Online
Store's "refurbished" section, and the early 2011 2.2 GHz model's discount
has just increased. That makes me wonder if a model refresh is about to take
place. I haven't heard any rumors to that effect. Has anyone here?
Thanks so much,

Heads-up re. OS X drivers for older Brother laser printers
Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468
Wed Oct 19, 2011 10:03 pm (PDT)
When I upgraded from SL to Lion, every page printed on my networked
Brother SL-5170DN contained "ERROR NAME; undefined COMMAND; OPERAND
STACK"instead of the page I wanted to print.
It turns out that there are 2 drivers included in the OS X print
system that you can install for these printers: the CUPS driver, and
a non-CUPS driver. The CUPS driver is the one causing the problems
for this particular printer.
I deleted the printer from the system preferences Print & Fax pane
and installed another printer specifying the non-CUPS driver.
The trick is that when going through the printer set-up process,
don't accept the recommended driver (it's always the CUPS driver).
Instead, select the option to choose your own driver, scroll through
the list of available drivers and choose the non-CUPS driver.
The ol' Bro' is now printing just as it always has: reliably.
Cheers,
Cheapskate Dave

Installing printer drivers
Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468
Thu Oct 20, 2011 1:53 am (PDT)
I want to add a network Canon inkjet printer to my Print dialog so I
can use it.
I went to Canon's web site and downloaded the latest driver.
I then started the procedure to add the printer. After specifying the
driver I just downloaded, I clicked the "Add" button. This dialog
displayed:
"Some of the software for the printer is missing. The software is
available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?"
"Cancel" or "Downlaod & Install"
(Note the lack of option "Do not download; add the printer using the
driver software I specified.")
I did click the suggested Download button (and quickly cancelled the
download) and a large download started titled Printer Software
Update, or such.
I don't want all those PPDs. I just want to add the printer using the
driver I specified.
Is there a way to do this? Can I add the printer "through the back
door" without going through the standard "download & install"
procedure?
Thanks,
Dave
