I'm running Lion on an iMac. I have an enormous number of pubsub feeds. Can I delete them without damaging my e-mail for instance? I do subscribe to RSS feeds through Mail. I've heard that Safari can add to feeds. I'm now running Chrome. Otherwise I'd just as soon get rid of them. TIA -Dave

Dear All,
I have just had the frustrating experience of trying to sign up at a
website, filling in all the pernickety little details only to find the
Captcha words at the bottom will not work for me. I tried about six
times, faithfully copying what had been written and giving up in the
end in sheer despair.

Certainly backing up a Mac's hard drive, wiping the drive, doing a
clean install of the OS, and restoring all of the software will fix
many problems that a Mac user might experience and make a Mac run
like new. I'm not arguing that point.
However, suggesting that a user do that as a routine or first line
repair procedure is to suggest that they waste a huge amount of time
and possibly get themselves in trouble, because such a procedure is
very rarely necessary with a Macintosh. Unlike Windows there are
much much easier ways to fix just about any problem with a Macintosh.
Likewise, it's just fine if you want to follow such a procedure with
your clients. If they are stupid enough to pay you needlessly for
such a huge amount of time, that's certainly good for you.
Fortunately, with a little guidance, most Mac users can fix the
overwhelming majority of problems that they might encounter with
their Macintosh themselves, and avoid ever having to be ripped off by
a consultant.

And yet again Randy, you are changing the meaning of what I said.
We were talking about Harry's problem. A data corruption issue where the memory had damaged the file system and rendered the system unworkable.
We were not talking about general troubleshooting and repair.
Stop changing my answers to suit your own purposes.

You came across to me, as if you believed that erase and install would be a first line solution to a data problem Maybe it was the wording.
I certainly wouldn't consider doing that in every case. Probably in very few of them.
The wording had me construe the meaning.

Well, I apologize if I misunderstood.
It wasn't at all clear to me that you were only referring to this one
instance.
You said:
"If I have a client who has a machine such as Harry's with memory
that has been corrupting data, I can have it back up and running in 2
hours with a guarantee that no corrupted data is still on the disk."
Every Macintosh that I have ever seen or heard of that was
"corrupting data" could either be fixed with standard Macintosh
troubleshooting procedures (e.g. simply reinstalling the OS) or it
had a hardware problem (e.g. bad RAM) that couldn't be fixed by doing
anything other than fixing the problematic component. Corrupted
data files are easy to find just by opening them, and corrupted
applications are easy to identify because they tend to run poorly, if
at all. Generally you don't need to erase and restore to deal with
the problem. But, yes, if there were a very extreme case of data
corruption, I would wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything from
a backup.

It seems to me that with many Mac applications, all you need to do to install is drag the application icon to your Applications folder. Have you tried doing that?
Hope you find a solution that works for you! :-)

Hester, I'm glad you got your printer working.
I have a Snow Leopard on a 2007 iMac and a monochrome Brother
HL-2270DW that duplexes. It's on both Ethernet and wireless networks
along with other computers and printers, so I'm not sure how I'm
printing (and don't care as long as everything is behaving).
Twice recently we've replaced our routers (now have a combined
modem-router for broadband Internet from our ISP). Each time a new
router was installed, the 2270DW was reported to be offline. Each
time I went to the Print & Fax panel in system prefs, deleted the
2270DW by clicking on the minus sign, then clicked on the plus sign
and added it back again, and all was well. In between the two events,
I downloaded new software from Brother, which I assume was a driver,
and I assume installed itself when I clicked okay.

I've gone into Energy Saver Preferences and set them at everything from 1 minute to 'Never', but that doesn't seem to change this 15-minute stoppage at all. I'm powered with the Apple AC power brick that came with the MBAir. There must be some other setting that I'm missing, as my old MacBook would happily stream the iTunes radio all night long. How do I get the MBAir to do the same?
Any suggestions? And thanks. Ken Silva

As part of backing up (both Time Machine and SuperDuper!) I cleared Trash. One file remained: a PNG screensnap.
I got a warning that Trash clearing could not be completed because the PNG file "is in use", which it is/was not.
An 'in-use' warning usually occurs (for me, at least) with pic files when Preview is open. This ain't a biggie hogging a lot of harddrive space. I can let it stew in Trash.

it will then be trashed like you want.

Re: YouTube-download difference

When I want to download videos from YouTube, I am usually given two choices: MP4 (360 pixels) and FLV (480 pixels).
I wouldn't mind FLV (which only plays (for me) on MPEG Streamclip) because it's one-third larger. The downside is that sometimes FLV videos have come with some sort of staticky interference, however my most recent one played okay. That may be because it was less than one-minute long.
MP4s play on QuickTime Player for me. I've seen some 720s, however most are 360s. Can someone explain the size difference between the top choices: MP4 versus FLV. The MP4 quality seems better. I can always expand the video window once I have downloaded it.

I use MacTubes, which allows .flv .mp4 1080p 720p downloads. It's a great free application and I've been using it for years. Not sure what the differences are between the files and containers, but should you want diversity in what type of video you do download, MacTubes is for you.
I will eventually get the time to research just what you're asking as it piques my interest as well.

Oneal, just download this free plug-in for QuickTime, and you will be
able to play those FLV (i.e. Flash Video) movies right in QuickTime,
and they should be of somewhat higher quality:
Perian plugin for QuickTime (free)
http://perian.org/#detail
allows QuickTime to play flash videos, AVI videos, and a bunch of
other formats.
While you are at it, you should also download:
Flip4Mac plugin for QuickTime (free)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ windowsmedia/ player/wmcompone nts.mspx
which will allow you to play Windows Media Video files in QuickTime.
These two plug-ins don't conflict with each other. Install them both.

Mac Virus
Posted by: "imran khan" sj.imran@gmail.com sj.imran
Sun Dec 18, 2011 10:03 pm (PST)
Hi Mac friends,
Good Day.
I am writing this email after finding no fix for what is happening to two
of my friends Mac.
First my friends office has a Snow leopard server (which i had setup) ,
connecting to 18 Macs and 12 PC. It has been running fine for nearly 16
months.
Two weeks back one of the PC user connected a USB flash drive to her laptop
to copy files to the Mac server as they use the server for storing all the
files.
The moment she copied the files , the server started to create files with
the extension .vb01 , .vb02............ and started to fill the server
storage quickly. I ran sophos Anti virus it found three virus and deleted
but no use , Avast no use , Clamx AV no use and Virus barrier no use.
Even if i were to format it , i will have to restore the same files back
and we will be having the same trouble. Note the server OS is up to date.
To add to this when we access the server hard drive we can see Autorun.inf
and some hidden files , when we ran Anti virus on the drives from PC it
can't find the virus!!!!
Guys please help.
Second a friend of mine has MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.
last week suddenly his Mac hung and when he restarted none of his apps
opened , so we booted with the DVD to run Disk utility and found the hard
has only 11GB left and my friend says he has nearly 120GB free. I restarted
in safe mood and found same kind of files and other file with jumbled
alphabets and characters. We put a new hard drive in clean installed Snow
Leopard and connected his infected Hard drive and noticed in 5 mins 10GB
disappeared , almost 100GB in one hour and all he copied was some excel
files.
Regards
IK

If your Mac came with 10.7, Lion, you need Windows 7. If it was updated from 10.6 and had BootCamp, you _may_ still be able to install XP if you start in 10.6. You do need anti-virus protection while booted into Windows.
