Long ago and far away, I used to use Fontographer for drawing letters/fonts. It was good...I don't know if it's still around, though.

My MBP is about 14 months old and the battery life is probably about 1/2 of new. Any suggestions on a new battery?
Thanks.
Best,

It's still available, and is compatible with Lion.

Yikes! My MBP is going on 3 years old and the battery is still strong
as a horse. I'd suggest googling some battery conditioning protocols
before replacing it.

Try cycling the battery. Use the Mac off of the battery until it gets to 1%, then shut down the Mac and let it charge fully before using it. I do this about once a month to keep my battery in good shape. My MacBook Pro is 2.5 years old, and the battery is still at 85% health.
Also, download an application called "coconut battery." The app will show you the health and capacity of your battery.

Whoa !!!, four ceenotes to be able to draw one's own fonts. Pretty pricy, especially when no one else will be able to reproduce them in their own emails. Also, the fonts probably aren� usable on self-produced websites. This is a high-end product. Not sure who would buy it.
I only wanted to make bold my Chalkduster font. Thanx. Oneal

At that age it probably is one of the ones with the built-in battery.
Therefore, you are probably stuck with the Apple Store, or something
similar, unless you are sufficiently handy. Have you recalibrated the
battery? Keep the computer on until the battery is sufficiently
discharged that it forces the machine to sleep. One should do this
monthly or so. Apologies if you already know this.

Jim;
If and when you decide to get a new battery, take a look at this site.
http://www.ifixit.com/Browse/ MacBook_Pro
Even the newer style MBP (unibody) can have its battery replaced with a minimum of work. If you're reasonably good with common tools and taking anti-static precautions, replacing the battery can be a 30 minute job.

Re: Mail 5.1 Attached vs Inline?
Posted by: "Jim McGarvie" jim@mcgarvie.us jgarv2002
Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:58 am (PST)
I haven't tried Attachment Tamer yet, but I don't understand the folder trick. I tried it and the outgoing message shows an icon of the folder in the body of the message, just as it shows the icon of a file if you don't use the folder trick.
I was hoping for something that showed the attachment filename somewhere in the header, ala Outlook, and didn't put the attachment in the body of the message at all.

Re: Mail 5.1 Attached vs Inline?

Whether an image appears in-line or as an attachment has as much to do with the recipients email client as it does with yours. You can't necessarily control this.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is (crudely), how it works.
In the old days, nothing was in-line because the email clients could not be expected to display "files," only text. Then came HTML, a method of encoding formatting, including the display of files, into text, which created the impression that email could contain images. Clients realized that users wanted to see images "in-line" even if the mail was sent as plain text and not as HTML. These days, almost all clients display "in-line" by default and most email can send as HTML (which is merely text with complex embedded commands).
When you attach anything, the file is encoded to text (yes, text, because all email is text). This block of text is marked for decoding back into a binary file. Coincidentally, the client knows where the file starts and stops, hence, it's position in the text. This does not require HTML. The client that receives the file decodes it, and then chooses to display the file immediately, within the text, or to simply inform you of the "attachment." Mail, by default, does both. It displays the file in-line AND informs you of the "attachment. "
It's that the sending client can be told to always put the file at the end of the email (the way it used to be done) or somewhere in the middle ("in-line") but whether it is displayed in-line is controlled by the client.
Cheers,
tod

This was a bit confusing, Tod. Going to have to reread it a few times.
Mail offers the choice of Plain Text (which is the precondition for communicating with this group via Yahoo!) and Rich Text. I think that Rich Text emails are converted to Plain Text upon receipt.
I select Rich Text as my Mail default setting because it allows the use of markup languages, such as HTML. It is because of the latter that I can include inline (or wherever) pictures with my text.
According to you, if I� not mistaken, pictures CAN be included in Plain Text, which is not how I see it. Can you elaborate? Thanx. Oneal

The original poster had been concerned with not having to zip or archive files as a condition for the sending of attachments. It had been suggested that he create a folder, insert the attachments-to-be, then add that folder to his email.
My experience with folders (and other type of attachments) is that they get positioned to the left of emails. You can't insert them just anywhere within text, because the text will break creating new lines. That is why attachments are added to the beginning or to the end of an email so that the continuity/flow of the text is not disrupted.
I have received emails that have not had attachments showing on the same page as texts, yet I knew that I had received an attachment, because Mail reveals the existence of all attachments.

Difficulties creating an iCloud account
Posted by: "Alan Fry" ajf@afco.demon.co.uk alanjohnfry
Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:10 am (PST)
Having got Lion running on a brand new disc I thought I would open an iCloud account to explore it. I have an Apple ID (consisting, as recommended) of my email address as user name and a password. This Apple ID lets me in to the 'App Store' and iTunes. However using it to create a new 'iCloud' I get the following error message:
"This Apple ID email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID's email address at appleid.apple.com to sign into Mobile Me."
Clicking 'Change email...' button takes me to 'appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/ WebObjects/ MyAppleID. woa'. This page offers two options; 'Manage your account', and 'Reset your password', neither of which seem relevant. There is also a button to 'Find out if you have an Apple ID'. That did seem relevant.
Clicking 'Find out...' leads to a form asking some questions and promises 'authentication by email'. That 'authentication' email turns out to be a link to 'reset your password'.
First time round I did just that, which got me into the position at the start of this email. Login name and password work on 'App Store' and 'iTunes' but are rejected (as detailed above) by iCloud.
What can one do to get out of this merry-go-round?
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

I thought he was reading my mind! I could have written that. I have had the exact problem. Everything I've tried resulted in no change. I think the solution is to call Apple and have them straighten out the problem. That's my next step.

Can I Move Music and Downloads Folder to Secondary Drive?
Posted by: "Nick Andriash" medic65@telus.net andriash2005
Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:25 am (PST)
I am going to be installing X-Plane 10 on my MacBook Pro's 256 GB SSD and I would like to create a little more room on it if I can. I would like to move the Music and Downloads Folder to an empty 2TB Drive I have daisy chained to my main 2TB Backup Drive.
Can I do that and still have still have both of them function as before, i.e. when I download a file, that it goes to that Downloads Folder without creating a new Downloads Folder on my SSD, and the same with the Music Folder, which also contains all my movies as well as music?
What about Time Machine? Do I have to let TM know where those Folder are now located?
Still learning about the Mac OS and consequently I am a little unsure about moving Folders around to create more room on my SSD.

i un-clicked "Enable junk mail filtering." that took Junk Mail off the board. then i still wasn't getting my mail, i re-enabled Junk filter, and sure enough there was
my mail from both my Earthlink acct., and me.com accounts.
i had enabled Junk mail filtering at Earthlink's end. but changed that. never like it as much as Spamseive, and Mail Junk.
after that, it slowed down, and �� of my mail is going to their respective boxes.
i called apple tech, and have a case number, if i can't figure this out.
i know i lief out pertinent info, but cannot remember what.
thank you for your time,

MBP Andy iPad 2 battery

I think the same rule of letting your iPad 2 battery run all the way down and give it a recharge once a month applies just like the MBP. When I bought it, it said the battery would last 10 days. I am lucky to get half that. I guess I will try letting the battery run out and recharge. If that doesn't help, I will go to The Apple Store. I did buy AppleCare.

"It" said _up to_ 10 days.
Or more exactly:
�Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
�Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using 3G data network
And that is assuming that it is not constantly searching for a Wi-Fi or 3G signal, which will drain the battery. Graphics like Photoshop or games can run it down faster also. Surfing the web is pretty light drain on the battery. It all varies on what and how many things you are doing with it.
Monopoly on my iPhone wipes out the battery, and when working in areas like farm land where there is little or no cell signal also drains my battery like no one's business. I would think if you applied the same tricks used to minimize battery drain on your iPad as an iPhone, you would find it lasts longer.
If you are getting only 5 days, then I would definitely look at how you use it and schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar or call in.

Whoever told you that was giving you grossly misleading information.
If you use it heavily, it may not last 10 hours.
If you shut it off and don't use it, the battery will last a lot longer than that.

Thanks Brent,
I guess I didn't read the fine print. I play games and surf the web allot. Luckily the WiFi is in my bedroom. I hardly ever use the 3G. Thanks again,
