It's a *file* that just happens to contain graphic/image data. Everything
on your computer, whatever it does when you "view", "open", or "play" it,
is a file. (Or it's a folder that contains files or other folders, of
course.)

Strange Looking 256 GB SSD Disk Layout ??
Posted by: "Nick Andriash" Nickster248@telus.net andriash2005
Sat Oct 29, 2011 12:08 pm (PDT)
About a week ago my 2011 Macbook Pro was becoming unstable, what with multiple spinning wheels, etc. So, I decided to revert back 3 weeks to a known stable Time Machine backup. All went well, and I was back enjoying my new Apple product again.
Today, as a routine maintenance, I decided to use iDefrag, and that is where I noticed a much different Disk layout than I was used to seeing. Using Disk Utility, here is what it looks like:
251 GB APPLE SSD TS256C Media
diskOs1
diskOs2
Macintosh HD
diskOs2s2
Recovery HD
2 TB WD
disk 1s1
SuperDuper Bootable Backup
Time Machine Backups
2TB WD
disk2s1
Photos
Music
Documents
Projects
Reserved
Reserved 2
When I start up iDefrag, here is what the Disk layout looks like on iDefrag:
APPLE SSD TS256C
Customer
/dev/diskOs2
Macintosh HD
/dev/diskOs2s1
Macintosh HD
/dev/diskOs2s2
According to iDefrag, the "Customer" disk, as noted just above, contains an unrecognized file system. The first Macintosh HD listed gives an error saying "Your startup volume is different from the one you are currently running from. The last Macintosh HD listed gives multiple error messages.
I do not understand why going back to a previous Time Machine Backup would have resulted in such a confusing layout of my HDD. Any ideas of what I should do now, aside from yet again going back, using Time Machine, to a more stable backup as I did before?
Thank you so much for your help.
Nick

Macbook Pro question
Posted by: "Kim VanderLaan" kimvndlaan@rogers.com kimvndlaan
Sat Oct 29, 2011 12:27 pm (PDT)
Hi,
My family and I have been staunch Apple users and supporters for over 20 years. My nephew has finally decided to get smart and dump his PC in favor of a Mac. Yay!
He has a few questions that I cannot answer, as his usage will be different from mine.
He is looking at a Macbook Pro with the following features:
Processor - 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Cor i7
Cache - 6MB shared L3 cache
Memory - 4GB (supports up to 8GB)
Graphics - Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6490M with automatic graphics switching. 256MB GDDR5 graphics memory.
Hard Drive - 500GB Serial ATA, 5400 rpm
Optical drive - 8x SuperDrive
Wireless - Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Expansion - 1 Thunderbolt port, 1 FireWire 800 port, 2 USB2 ports, 1 SDXC card slot
Video and Audio - FaceTime HD camera; Thunderbolt port with support for DVI, VGA, dual-link DVI, and HDMI, Stereo speakers with subwoofers, omnidirectional microphone, audio line in minijack (digital/analog), audio line out/headphone minijack (digital/analog)
The main thing he has told us he wants it for is streaming movies and videos online. Is this a good computer for his needs?
Thank you very much!!
Kim

Howdy.
It will stream movies just fine.
There are some free 3rd party video-type utilities that make it
possible to play most all of the many video file formats that should be
installed after purchase.
1. Flip4Mac
2. VLC video player program
3. Perian
This model has a different type of dual video card so doing some
reading on this and how things work with it could be useful.
The standard video card will do just fine. However, if nephew does
certain kinds of games or is on Second Life a fast video card with a
lot of Video RAM (VRAM) can speed things up.
I have used an older MacBook Pro with an older processor for Netflix
video streaming for some time and it works nicely when connected to VGA
port on the big TV screen and the streaming is coming via the WiFi
network.

Macs are excellent platforms for all home theatre needs as well as every
thing else!
I use a free application called Plex, which I would recommend to all
interested in streaming from any source, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, 3rd
party sites, as well as local media, including music, pictures and movies.

Updating iPhone 4 in OSX
Posted by: "James Johnson" jamcam1@mac.com james_jhn
Sat Oct 29, 2011 2:39 pm (PDT)
Hi all,
I have been having this problem a while now and I really don't like the workaround very much.
The problem is that for some reason in OSX Lion (10.7.2) I cannot update my iPhone as I get an error message stating that I do not have enough access privileges. I run OSX as an admin, I'm the only user save for the guest access that 10.7.2 put in.
The workaround has been updating my iPhone running Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, which it doers fine.
Please save me from having to use a games machine to keep my iPhone up to date!

Lion question

Sat Oct 29, 2011 4:12 pm (PDT)
I was just helping my daughter to set up her new macbook pro running lion,
and I was asked for her password just to create a new folder on her hard
drive. I do not have to do this in Snow leopard( I still haven't installed
mine[?]). Is there a way to stop the machine from asking for a password with
each new folder created?

If this folder is *not* under Home (the user's own top-level directory),
then it will *not* be owned by that user and a password is required. Are
you sure that these folders are where they should be?

No I am not.
If I install Lion on My mac pro, will I have this problem as well? What do
I have to look for?
Maybe I set up the folder the wrong way for Lion. It kept coming up with
the finder, rather than the name of the Hard drive.On My comuter, if I am
in one of my hard drives, I just go to file to set up a new folder, and I
have never had to use a pass word to dump the trash.I am still using snow
leopard.

I though I was creating it on her hard drive. It was only a folder to be
used for bringing things in from her external drive , so we could format it
to the mac file system.

I experience basically the same thing. I'm asked for my password if I
delete certain things such as applications. I assumed that is because I
migrated over and my user account was not the original account that
created or installed the apps and files.

saving mail attachments
Posted by: "Metaksa Tanya" tanya.metaksa@gmail.com tmetaksa@att.net
Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:56 pm (PDT)
I am still using Snow Leopard. I want to save almost three years worth of attachments from one email address. Since I get these attachemnts 1-3 x per day, there are a lot of attachments to save individually. Is there a way to do this without doing it one at a time. Or is there a program that I can buy to help me do this?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

You have already saved them. Each attachment exists, as a separate
file, in this folder:
[hard drive icon] --> Users folder --> [your user name] --> Library --
> Mail Downloads
And within that folder, you can choose to view things "By List" and
then sort everything the way that is most convenient for you (by
date, by kind, etc.)
However, if that isn't what you had in mind, there are several e-mail
archiving applications listed here:

One of the changes from SL to Lion *is* that they have tightened up security, requiring an administrator's password for more operations.
That said, I just opened ./Applications and created a new folder without being asked. I am NOT asked when emptying trash, either.
First thing, start up Disk Utility and then run Repair Permissions.
