I presume you mean the "Debug" menu.

Captain Hook need not apply.
It's just a separate partition, with certain specific files in it. If they weren't specifically erased or partitioned away, they should still be there.

From 10.0 to 10./6.8 I saw no need for a clone, since I could quickly do a clean install and leave behind any glitch that caused the crash. Only with the uncertainty I felt for Lion did I desire a clone.
My data is on a RAID and backed up, so all I would loose with a crash was detritus, and whatever issue crashed my system, unless it was a hardware failure or theft.

What app? Some you need just delete from the drive and others, which
put parts on other areas of your drive, have uninstallers. Some are
licensed to only a certain number of uses, so they should be
uninstalled to get your license back. I had to get a new hard drive
and it turned out that my copy of Office 2011 could not then be
reinstalled, as Micro$oft thought I had used up my license, and it
took a few phone calls. However, if you do not have that type of
situation then maybe you should not bother?? Modern hard drives are
large enough that a few extra megabytes won't kill you.

Rich, the best way to delete an app is to use its uninstaller, if there is one. However, with some apps that are "self-contained," so to speak, you can just drag them to the trash, but there will still be some detritus, perhaps a preference, for example. To be thorough about it, you can use an app designed to uninstall stuff, like Uninstaller, AppZapper, AppDelete, etc. There are others. Check the MacUpdate site for these. You can download them from there. Most of them are shareware.

In most cases, drag the App to the trash, and empty the trash.

There are uninstaller programs for the Mac. Most, in my experience,
don't do a complete job.
I'm told that CleanApp $15
<http://www.syniumsoftware.com/ >cleanapp/
(I think the trial version lets you uninstall 10 applications) has a
database of common applications' cruft,
so it does a pretty good job of scrubbing old software completely,

Apptrap is a free prefpane app file removal system that will remove small files associated with a large app, when it is moved to the trash.

You can embed complete fonts, or subset just the actual
characters/glyphs in use in the document - is one such setting, provided
the font is "embeddable" which is font specific and not application
specific. Some fonts are internally programmed to prevent embedding. The
intent is to prevent its propagation / disssemination and use as a
"font" without paying a royalty to the font foundry who created it. One
workaround is to convert the font to "outline" which makes it part of
the vector artwork, or rastered into part of an image. It is no longer a
font, meaning you cannot use it to type new words with the keyboard, but
a complex mathematical curve. Works fine for headlines and such, but a
bear when applied to body text.

You can set these parameters on a Mac without the need for any
additional software using Quartz filters.
Open your PDF file in Preview (in your Applications folder),
Choose Save As from the File menu,
at the bottom of the Save As dialog box choose Format: PDF
and set additional parameters in the Quartz Filter drop down menu.

Embedding is not usually a problem with Adobe Acrobat, which used to
have a separate program for this, I forget the name. This is important
for fonts in non-Latin alphabets, such as Hebrew and Arabic, where the
printer is most unlikely to have these fonts already. If you are using
standard fonts in these languages, you will have no problem. If you
are using some fancy proprietary font, you will have to buy the rights
to use it in the pdf.

Mail 5.1 Attached vs Inline?
Posted by: "Harry Flaxman" harry.flaxman@comcast.net hflaxman001
Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:37 am (PST)
There used to be an option within Mail preferences as to whether or not to attach an attached file, or insert it inline when composing mail. I no longer see that option in 5.1, and everything seems to go inline when I compose something.
I need to have an attachment actually BE an attachment without zipping or archiving the file in any manner, in this case, pdf files.
Is there a new way to accomplish this, or am I missing the option somewhere?
TIA

I was under the impression that picture files and video files physically showed within emails, Harry. I quite often 'illustrate' my emails with pictures, which (tend to) remain where I've situated them.
The only glitch for me is that I center all my emails. When I combine file types (eg: .jpg & .mp4) then all the attachments move to the far left during sending. If I only send JPEGs, then they stay in place.
I'm used to that now. I run version 4.5 of Mail. Oneal

Not sure if it what I was looking for, but in previous versions of Mail, I believe there used to be a preference switch that would determine this. If so, it's gone now.
I know that in order to get any sort of .txt file to attach, rather than become part of the message's text itself, it has to be archived.
Thanks Oneal.

Harry - I don't see the preference you suggested might be in earlier versions of Mail. I have 4.5.
I just stick things in folders then attach the folder so all the viewer sees is the folder icon.
Then again sometimes I'll attach a photo or PDF directly to the message so it appears as part of the message.

I'm not the OP of this thread. So I have not needed to link attachments, or were you speaking to Anna?

A word of warning to those who use a debit card. Banks won't necessarily protect your account against debit card fraud, like they all do for credit card fraud. You could get wiped out by debit card fraud and you'll be left with nothing.
I think I'd rather use a credit card. If my checking account were wiped out I'd be pissed at myself for not bothering to scrape and enter.
