I only use windows for a couple of embroidery programs not available to me on the Mac. I don't need a lot of hard disk space as I really don't intend to use Windows for anything else. How can I manually allocate hard disk space in Fusion? (It seems to want to give me only 40GB of which I don't need that much). Should I choose 32 bit or 64 bit windows? Anything else I should know before installing?

You can choose a different virtual HD size, but the actual (Mac) file size of the entire virtual machine (to your Mac, the whole thing is just one huge file) won't be the maximum size you select; the Mac OS will reserve space on your physical drive so that the file can grow to that maximum size - and probably a bit larger, because there will be some overhead to tell the Mac OS how to deal with it. However, if you're using Fusion 3 and Lion, my understanding is that you'll benefit also from the fact that the VM will be "Time Machine Friendly", meaning that your Time Machine backup won't expand by the full current size (or thereabouts) every time you run the virtual machine - Fusion and the Mac OS will figure out how to integrate only what's changed in the VM file into your backup.

As far as 32 bit vs. 64 bit is concerned, for reasons I've never understood it's a much an either/or deal in the Windows world than on the Mac. If your embroidery machinery uses 32-bit drivers, you want 32-bit Windows. By the way, do you have the Designer 1 or a successor? My wife has one and it basically never clicked in her head. I doubt that its motor has run more than 1 hour. Do you have any suggestions for her?

Facebook is a social site that for me is not an easy place to get around in. It is not a site that I would like to see this group go to as I have limited my use of it to the point that I hardly use it at all. As has been said by James, the privacy factor has come under scrutiny several times as Zukerburg wants to open it up to all kinds of abuse in my way of thinking. What Samantha does not get is you can do the same thing on this group that she wants to do on Facebook with the exception that I feel a little more secure on Yahoogroups than on Facebook.

I agree. I have a Facebook account and have "friended" only two
people...one of my daughters and a neighbor. I don't use Facebook
anymore and have told them we can accomplish anything it can do by
sending each other emails or texts. Forrest and James have

When many privacy issues started surfacing with FB, I immediately 'deactivated' my account there. Well over 1.5 years ago. I am astonished that there was no option to get rid of the account. I subsequently had emails related to that account start 'flowing' again, and contacted FB twice about this. I went in each time and deactivated once more.

I finally had to threaten the folks at FB with legal action and publicity regarding the issue. Since then, the account as stayed dormant.

Take care and monitor your accounts once deactivated. For some reason, they used to come back to life without user interaction at one point.

Another 'FEATURE' of FB?? Probably

Well, you all missed the point of the email.

ejayz, Samantha Candice, has posted only once to this list, and look at the name. Does it sound right?

"Her" first email to the list is an attempt to see who will move to another forum, a site that reveals more of your personal
information.

This was a farming or phishing attempt, a social engineering attempt to harvest just susceptible or ripe potential victims. She doesn't even have to read and type in the names, the victims do it for her.

If I am wrong, by apologies, but I doubt I am wrong.

Rotating Ext. HDD

Posted by: "Budd" n7eoj@yahoo.com   n7eoj

Sun Jan 1, 2012 6:18 am (PST)



I put an external HDD on my iMac right after I got it.  
When it failed the manufacturer provided a refurbished replacement which failed in less than ten months.  They were not going to stand behind their refurbished HDD, but offered me a "Good customer discount" amounting to ~1/2 of the S&H on a new one.  
I decided to start doing backups the way we do in data centers I helped build and rotate multiple HDD, instead of tapes.  
I researched HDD reliability to determine the Hitachi line currently appear to be best.
I acquired a Newer Technology VoyagerQ from OWC, with three 1TB Hatachi HDD.  
I got the "Q" to have exclusive use of the Firewire 800 channel.  There is already too much being shared on USB.  
I named the three HDD sequentially to facilitate a rotation schedule and introduced them to Time Machine.  
Each weekend I eject the currently connected HDD, power down the iMac & Voyager, swap with next HDD.
Then I power up the Voyager, then the iMac and associate the new HDD in TM Preferences and tell it to backup.
Even though the Voyager is advertised hot swappable, I follow that sequence because I have never been comfortable swapping hardware in powered devices. Also, I don't know if the deficiency is in iMac Firewire or 1394 spec but it doesn't handle discovery as well as USB.
Say what you will about TM, it does it's job and will let you know if there is a problem.  Hourly backups are good for a production environment, but overkill for personal use.  In retrospect though, that means little will have changed and the b/u will be short.

I also share the Ext. HDD for cache in a separate folder and they get along fine, with less thrashing on my internal HDD.

Hourly seemed excessive to me too, so I tried a programme called Time Machine Editor. Works alongside Time Machine but allows you to control what is backed up and when. I have mine set to twice a day.

I also use a programme called Back Up Loupe to watch exactly what is being archived.

Can recommend both, have used for about 12 months

Well, considering that the most likely failure points in an external hard drive are power and the controller card, maybe not. Someday maybe, but right now SSD is an "emerging" technology. Never trust the latest and greatest.

Just tried this in 10.5.8, copying to an SD card, then back to another
folder. In each case, command-z undoes the copy and there is *nothing* in
the Trash. As distinct from deletion, it's as if the action never happened
in the first place, except that you can redo it (as long as the source for
the copy is still available).

Strange that, like many others, I've never had reason to discover this
before. Imagine that you copy image files from a camera's card, wipe the
card, then accidentally undo the copy! You have lost your photos unless you
use recovery software before you next use the card.

Yes, something to be aware of, for sure. It strikes me as a bit funny
that Apple allows it to work this way, given that it's basically a
"completely delete instantly" command, with no warning whatsoever.

Happy new year!

Unless you immediately "Undo" the "Undo"...this will bring them back. They're not actually +gone+...they're just not visible in the directory.

And if "she" were serious, why does she need you to "message me back" and send out an invitation. An Australian email account might explain the non-US choice of words and the combination of two first names. But groups or companies don't have to send out invitations in Facebook.

Or why didn't she just sent a URL to a FB page?

Again, I offer apologies, if I am wrong, but the more I look at "her" post the more I think it is bogus.

This is another reason I am sorry this group dropped it's probation period.

Michel,

Thanks!

How about re-instituting the probation period?

address book question

I'm a recent convert from Outlook to Address Book. In Outlook, when I wanted to separate email addresses for a husband and a wife, I could specify the "display as" name for each of their addresses and send an email to whichever I wanted (or both). I don't see a way of doing that in Address Book without having three separate entries for each family: husband, wife, and both (for sending Christmas cards, for example).

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Best,

Jim

OT: Outlook for Mac - question - graphics

Happy New Year, everyone!
I am running 27" iMac, quad core, i5, 10.6.8. Recently I changed e-mail apps
from Eudora to MS Office Outlook. So far so good. But my animated graphics
do not animate. I can receive animations from others, but for some reason,
my gifs won't animate on Outlook. They do not arrive at their destinations
animated, either.

Am I doing something wrong? I hope someone here knows the answer, as I
couldn't find it on the Mac Office forum.
Thanks in advance,
Donna__

This is normal.

"To play animated GIF files, you must open the files in the Preview/
Properties window. To do this, select the animated GIF file, and then
on the View menu, click Preview/Properties."
