Thank you Harry, I had just gone there, because Hubie showed me how it was
on his mac book air. Not much had been checked on mine, so I put in all the
ckecks, and Voila!
Thanks you all so much for your help.
Now I have to figure out how to do new folders in my home .

I know one used to be able to drag things from the Finder window to the sidebar to have it displayed. I haven't tried this in Lion yet, but that's another way to get things into the sidebar. You can even drag programs and documents there. Pogue likes this method for launching programs. He also likes Spotlight for launching programs.
OS X is very flexible in that there are many ways to accomplish the same tasks. This allows flexibility in the way one accomplishes something. It allows tailoring to the users likes/dislikes or personal habits in accomplishing the same!

In all fairness to Jeannie, everyone refers to that particular folder as the "Home Folder"....everyone except Apple. Apple can and should do a much better job of naming when it comes to Finder folders. I have seen more people have problems with file management in Finder.

Indeed? What have you seen Apple refer to that directory as??
Every Apple person I have ever spoken with since OS X was first out has referred to that folder as 'home'. That is an old Unix reference dating back to the original build in 1968.

Epoch time/date commands
Posted by: "Harry Flaxman" harry.flaxman@comcast.net hflaxman001
Sat Nov 12, 2011 11:06 am (PST)
I've been rummaging around my old Unix stuff to find the command that returns Epoch time. It seems as if Apple has removed some of the basic commands which used to be able to do this. The man pages are there, but not the commands, unless they're in a path that isn't within the search path.
clock is one command, man is there, but no command.
gdate was one command that could do it as well, no man page or command.
Has anyone played with a similar command lately?
I know this is an obscure question, but one never knows if there is a hidden Unix fan out there.

Once you have dragged to the trash or have run as uninstaller, do a Restart with the Cmd+Option+p+r keys down. On the third set of chimes, release and let Restart to complete. The keys will reset Parameter Ram and the Restart will cause the Mac to rewrite its file index file. Then go into Applications/ Utilities/ Disk Utility. Select your Mac hard drive and run Repair Permissions.
If Desktop Shelves installed any stray files, the Mac will not know of them and they will get over-written. This procedure is not perfect, but is all that I know to do.

A little overkill for an app uninstall. Over the years I haven't had to do that and haven't had it recommended to me to do so but maybe once every 8 months or so. Even a restart is overkill for most everything. I've had my machine up in excess of 35 days at times. No restart. After all, this is an operating system that's been in development since 1968. Based on it anyway. It's always been pretty reliable and tight.
The longer OS X is up, the better and faster memory management becomes. Unix, in effect, gets faster the longer it is running.

Oh yes, meant to ask you, where is the reference that PRAM reset will rewrite an index file? I've never seen this in an Apple tech note, although I might be wrong. From what I understood, and correct me here if I'm wrong, PRAM resets just what it says, parameters in volatile RAM. These are hardware specific, AFAIK, and have nothing to do with the operating system. I"m going to go look it up now.

Here's a quote from Apple's document on PRAM and 10.7:
"A small amount of your computer�s memory, called �parameter random-access memory� or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information."

What program are you using, Virtualbox, Parallels, or Fusion?

Whoa�
First of all, install Parallels Desktop. Then, using Parallels, install Windows 7. Parallels will handle the virtual machine creation and setup with Windows initially. Note: You need a Windows install disc.
The program Virtual PC was an old PowerPC program that emulated Windows under OS X. It was very slow, to the point of being unusable.
All you need is Parallels and Windows 7.
You'll be good to go!

You mention not re-booting regular. Is that a way to tell when you last booted a mac? Without using terminal.
I have a home server which I do not boot unless I have a change to make or system update. I have seen where it has not restarted in more than 20 days. I have had time where I was gone for several months and did not look at it, it just did it thing.

I know there are 3rd party apps that have uptime incorporated into them. I have one that has it incorporated, but you usually have to pay for those. The terminal command 'uptime' does it just as well.
The first two are Terminal stuff.

This one is probably more along what you want. It's an Applescript that will display uptime in a Finder window.

Just compiled this script in Lion and it works like a charm! Save it as an application. I saved it to the Application directory so I have access to it from my Applications stack.

Is this a great LIST or WHAT!
I copied the script into the AppleScript and ran it: I've been up for " up 8 days, 3:07"
Thanks Harry.

Hey Jim,
Are you running 10.7.2 or 10.6.x?
I haven't been able to log more than 1 day under Lion. I'm preparing a Snow Leopard partition right now that I believe I'll stay up under most of the time.
