USB Wireless Issue

I've had great service from afterthemac.com until now. Their preference when you have a problem is for you to fill out their webform, which I did, and I also sent an e-mail. Still no reply, and it's been three or four days since my initial contact. So I'm asking for your help, with apologies that it's not really a Mac problem, but more of a connection problem.
My wireless provider (Frontier) had to change the name and password for my network. Which meant I had to reconnect all my devices to the new network name. The only one I haven't been able to configure is the one using my afterthemac n300SL USB wireless antenna, which makes my wi-fi connection work on my G5.
The antenna recognizes the network, but won't accept the password. Can any of you help me figure out what I'm missing? Thanks so much.

No, you are the one not getting the point. I personally specifically do
*not* want what you do from iCal or AddressBook. I like them as they are
now, nice and simple solving a basic specific set of tasks. What you are
looking for is a different application. iCal and AddressBook don't do
what you want, and the sooner you get over this and start looking
elsewhere, as many others have suggested, the sooner you will get to the
solution you do want.
If you really feel strongly that they should change, then make your
thoughts known to Apple, via their feedback web pages. Complaining on
this list will get you no where.

Anna, you have been told many times that the program that Apple has included in there OS is fine for many of us. What is it exactly you want us to do. You have been offered many alternatives to try out, but you insist on bugging this list with your complaints about Apples address book and iCal as though we had the power to change the program to your liking. Give it up, Anna. It is what it is and all your complaining is not going to change it. Contact Apple about it if you feel that strongly about it.
So far nobody has labeled you as a € '³troll€ '´, but your constant badgering is leading you in that direction.

That is exactly the reason why I asked you how *you* use the AddressBook and iCal in the scenario we are talking about (the Tax Office example.)
> What is it exactly you want us to do.
Stick to the point and answer the question I posed to you. We are not talking anymore about CRM software (which I personally use to solve the problem, i.e. I use Daylite), we are talking about tricks and methods people here have developed to tie the various loose strings in the scenario.
Brent (N. A. Nada) told us he uses Excel and Numbers to solve the problem and keep things under control. Now, pull yourself together and tell us how *you* do it. If you have nothing constructive to offer then it€ '²s best for you to back out. This is a friendly list and we are exchanging tips not "complaining", as you call it, which shows clearly that you are missing the point.

EFI vs UEFI
Posted by: "Harry Flaxman" harry.flaxman@comcast.net hflaxman001
Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:04 am (PST)
For any of you machine/firmware knowledgeable people, does anyone know why Apple never upgraded to the UEFI standard when Intel moved that way? Or do our machines use that standard and it's just not labeled that way.
I've used various modifying programs that deal with EFI, and never knew what the true 'connector' was until I researched some this past week. Apparently, if one knows what they're doing, one can re-write the EFI to any working specification to call on any of the firmware routines available.
Any input by anyone knowledgable would be appreciated.

I don't agree its a step backwards.
Apple has never been a company for doing the same as the rest of the world, but instead following their own aims. Invariably the rest of the world follows suit.
They have obviously decided physical media is on the way out. Just look at the latest Mac Airs and Minis, that don't have drives. I for one agree with them in this case, and applaud them for doing so (I personally hope the next Mac Book (Pro) updates also drop the drive ;))
They provide a utility to create a recovery partition on an external drive, that I believe covers most of what users want to have a physical disk for.

A step back?
Or perhaps a step forward to the way that all systems will be delivered in the future.
You can make a bootable copy of System 10.7 (Lion) and put it on a DVD or a FlashDrive (ThumbDrive.)
Take a look at:
http://blog.gete.net/ lion-diskmaker- us/
which shows how to get a copy of "Lion DiskMaker".

Wasn't aware it was a problem. Just always used 'export' instead of 'save as' in Lion. Always seems to be an option!

I'm certainly no expert with DTP, but used PageMaker for several years. When I switched to the Mac not long ago I switched to InDesign for Mac. It imported my current PageMaker newsletter with very little adjustment. I'm still getting used to it but I think it will be fine for my purposes.

Howdy.
Adobe InDesign is very good. Part of the Adobe Creative Suite package
which includes InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat. The CS
package is now at version CS 5.5 and can be found in several flavors
depending on the extras and bells and whistles and type of work you
want to do with PDFs/Distiller, etc.
You can purchase the components of CS 5.5 separately but it may not
make sense to do so. If you need to make PDFs for serious commercial
print work, then you need to investigate which Acrobat flavor you
need. Many magazines and weekend newspaper color magazines and ad
supplements use PDFs but via Adobe's Acrobat Distiller because
Distiller is extensible and the newspaper or magazine can send you a
plug in extension for Distiller that automatically configures it to the
magazines print specifications for color calibration, for resolution,
and for other settings.
QuarkXPress is also very good but having problems competing with
inDesign. QuarkXPress is a somewhat "frame" oriented layout program
(PageMaker was not) and still retains some of that but in a far more
pleasing and effective and efficient manner than what I recall of
Venture from years ago. Quark uses it's own separate PDF creation
technology and doesn't rely on Adobe Acrobat Distiller (although, of
course, you can still print a Quark layout to a PostScript file and
then run that through Acrobat Distiller.
Apple's more basic Pages is part of an inexpensive package called
iWork. iWork includes Pages, Keynote, and Numbers (layout,
presentation, spreadsheet). These are competent programs but don't
have the many extras found in the more expensive programs. Check Apple
app store. About $79.00 for the set. Nearly any file you can open on
screen on Macintosh can be saved as a PDF file and recent version of
Mac OS X will produce a print ready PDF (with the higher resolution
that implies) and not just a screen ready PDF.
There are others available.
I can't resist saying that Ventura was the 2nd DTP program I learned
many years ago. I started on version 1 of PageMaker on Macintosh and
then was forced, due to change of office groups, to use Ventura for DOS
(pre Windows). It was a total, 100% disgusting, inefficient, complex,
awkward, slow, incompetent, backwards mess. Things I could have been
doing in PageMaker on Macintosh in 2 minutes took two hours to do in
Ventura. Of course, this was an office where 300 unaware DOS using
employees were using Lotus 1-2-3 to print text only (zero spreadsheet
calculations, just text) in columns because their WordPerfect for DOS
was almost utterly incapable of doing that. They finally got me a
Macintosh II and Apple LaserWriter. I used MS Word version 4 for
Macintosh and MacDraw and people started standing in line for me to put
their text in columns in Word tables and to do stuff in MacDraw.
Management finally had to move me to a separate office instead of a
cubicle because of the lines. I'm not exaggerating. All the while
management kept saying, "but the Mac is just a toy." And the lines to
use the "toy" got longer and longer. One Macintosh doing the same
about of work as dozens of DOS boxes. Just a toy.

Sorry to butt in here. "In Design" is an Adobe program that today sells for $700. It is really a professional desktop publishing system. I understand that it is well integrated with their "Creative Suite" CS 5.5, which costs another $700.
You should try "Pages" in Mac System 10.7 and see whether it will do the job for you. I use it to produce our 12-page newsletter every month, with many pictures, color, big titles, etc. Pages is much easier to use than MS Word, which is so overloaded with "features" that it is difficult to use -- long learning curve.
"Pages" is included in the $70 "iWork" package, together with "Numbers" (the spread-sheet program) and "Keynote" (the presentation (powerpoint-like) program.)
You can get "Pages" separately for, I think, $20.
Good luck!

Well, kinda looks like Apple is going to do it again with iBooks. They have 90% of the US textbook publishers locked up for e-text books for the iPad, plus the release of the authoring software, iBooks Author, free for OS X.
See here:

Another iTunes type monopolization? Quite probably IMO.
