Re: AirPort Utility 6.0 Out

What's dumb is that Software Update doesn't check whether your base
station is compatible. I ended up installing 6.0 and having to downgrade
because my "old" AirPort doesn't work with it.
That's plain dumb.

oversized desktop view
Posted by: "ennisart" john@john-ennis.com ennisart
Sat Feb 4, 2012 8:34 am (PST)
My wife's iMac (OS 10.6.8) desktop view has become oversized. In other words, the desktop cannot be viewed in its entirety, you have to move the curser past the outside edge to bring in parts that are hidden.
I tried changing the resolution to no avail, even at lower resolutions the problem persists.
I ran permissions and restarted.
Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks!

Are you using a mighty mouse, if so then check to see system preferences, mouse whether you have the "Smart zoom" selected. This could be your problem as it will expand the window beyond the bonders. I was caught by this little trick a long time ago and stopped using it.

Security Update 2012-001 may break Rosetta functions for printing in Snow Leopard.
Get some info before installing it.
I'm on the road so can't investigate further.

Lots of discussion on the Eudora-Mac list yesterday.
One of original reports of Rosetta (and therefore PPC apps) being broken:
"Rosetta broken in OS X 10.6.8 after security update"
<http://reviews.cnet.com/ >8301-13727_ 7-57370890- 263/rosetta- broken-in- os-x-10.6. 8-after-security -update/
Reports that Apple released a revised 1.1 update with the problem fixed:
"Apple revises Snow Leopard security update"
(Security Update 2012-001, version 1.1, for Snow Leopard Macs)
<http://www.macworld.com/article/ >165216/2012/ 02/apple_ revises_snow_ leopard_security _update.html
"Apple fixes Snow Leopard Security Update to correct Rosetta"
<http://www.macnn.com/articles/ >12/02/03/ available. via.software. update.for. 1068.users/
And so far no complaints about 1.1 update.
I'm glad I waited to install, as I usually do.

There is a version 1.1 of this update which is supposed to fix the problem via software update.<http://support.apple.com/ >kb/HT1222
I have not found it on the Apple updates page yet.

a garage band question

Sat Feb 4, 2012 11:40 am (PST)
I do a lot of editing in Garage Band, and there are lots of pieces floating all over the track with lots of gaps in between them. What can I do to make them all come together without having to laboriously drag each one to the end of the one before it. I can't figure that out.
Thanks for any advice.

The Apple online store's page on the item mentions only the Macbook Pro. Yes, it is a standard, as far as I know. My last 3 machines had it that way anyway.

Yes, I grabbed it out of the air, after watching for years, and casually tracking what I thought caused the problems. I might have been a bit high or optimistic, but I firmly believe the majority of users are fine using SU. With CU being the first thing to try if there is a problem after an update. Maybe I should qualify that, the majority are fine using SU, if their systems are not highly tweaked or modified.
For years, I have worked tracking down the cause of problems and coming up with permanent solutions, rather than band aids for symptoms, in a couple of different industries. So I tend to track the root cause of problems automatically.
With every update, there are always people who have problems, but if you track the causes, large percentage, if not all, (again grabbed from the air and my casual tracking) have tweaked their OS.
Apple does occasionally make mistakes, but since Mac OS X 10.1, I believe that most of the problems users encounter from updates are caused by installing third party software that tweak or modify the Mac OS or the basic Apple apps included in the OS installation. Actually, I believe this is true for pre-OS X Mac OS, also.
In this case, it looks like Apple made a mistake, or possibly 3.
How do I avoid problems with new update releases? I keep my OS as original and unmodified as possible, and I no longer install new updates on the day of the release. (And I am amazed when people install on the day of release on a Mac that is business critical, without waiting for others to "test the water" or reading the ReadMe file for the minimum system requirements, or a back up.) Also, I have a feeling, nothing solid, just a feeling, that those posting to Apple Discussion thread are recent Switchers, who have not changed their Windows habits, yet. In other words, major tweakers.
What will I do when I upgrade to 10.7.3? Since I have an early 2008 MBP, and several MBP users have had issues with this update, I will, for a change use the Combo Update. Apparently, Apple forgot something in the earlier updates for the MBP. (Just a wild guess.)
I will be skipping the Airport Utility 6.0 update, since I have two Apple Airport cards that run only on 802.11b in my network. And I will be reading more about the latest Security Update as there appears to be some issues there, also. Luckily, I have 10.7 on my MBP and I run 10.6 off an external drive, so I think those issues may be minimal for me.
In fact, the install on the external is a clean install with only the third party software that will no longer run under 10.7, that I have not found or gotten a replacement for. To drop as many issues as possible, I did clean install, that is as original and unmodified as possible. The only modifications are changes to the default prefs and settings, no third party tweaks. Since I practice, K.I.S.S., this is a clean and simple solution without having to tweak or modify my copy of 10.7 with third party software.

removal of alias
Posted by: "Jeannie" nikonjeannie@gmail.com chloe898
Sat Feb 4, 2012 2:06 pm (PST)
I recently downloaded an upgrade to aprogram. After I installed it, I
wanted to put the update in a folder where I keep such things. Somehow that
became an alias(shortcut , and it appears on the top of the tool bar of
every hard drive, the apps folder etc. i have tried everything to get rid
of it. The only thing that kinda does it is when I right click and choose
hide tool bar. , but that only hides it, and does not remove it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. I am going to guess that "everything" did not include command-dragging the item out of the tool bar, since that maneuver *does* work here.
2. I am going to guess you are running Lion, since by default in Lion, dragging a file between directories creates an alias, while option-dragging creates a duplicate, and command-dragging move the file (copies, then deletes the original).

Startup in Safe Mode
Posted by: "Jim Smith" jas1931@gmail.com jimmacsmith
Sat Feb 4, 2012 5:20 pm (PST)
Last couple of days my iMac has been running kind of slow. So last night I did a restart holding down the shift key until the Apple-Bar-Spineer showed.
That was about nine last night. This morning it was still running and spinning.
I stop the computer, holding down the start button.
Then after a few minutes did a regular restart. It's running somewhat ok.
If I do a Finder Help with: "Startup in Safe Mode" I get "Content not available" not connect to the internet. Which is not true.
My question: Should I do another safe startup or what?

take a photo of your of your log-in items (Shift, Command-4) then delete them. add them back one by one until you find the culprit.
OR, try Remer to test your RAM.
disconnect peripherals.

If you have a large number of items to narrow down to a single one, remove
half to see which half still contains the culprit, then remove half of
*that* half, and so on. This is a "binary chop" and applies to many
situations.
Testing RAM is always a good idea if weird stuff is happening, too.

I have to recommend the app 'startupizer'. This app speeds up startup items as well as allows the categorizing and spacing of startup items.

Missing Entries in iCal
Posted by: "George Barker" lynxster@ihug.com.au four46
Sat Feb 4, 2012 11:12 pm (PST)
Yesterday I made two new entries in iCal, and I edited two existing entries.
Today I went to check the time no one of them and found that the two
new entries were missing entirely, and the edited entries, whilst
still there, did not contain the edits I had made to them.
I have been known to put new entries to the wrong date sometimes, but
this was not the case with the missing entries - iCal search came up
with nothing when I tried it.
iMac running Snow Leopard.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I'm assuming that you are using Apple's Mail.
There are two ways to do this.
Here is the first. Put the file that you want to attach to an e-mail
message somewhere where it is easy to access. For instance, drag it
to the very far right of the desktop. Then size your window(s) in
Mail so that the far right of the desktop is showing while you are
composing a new e-mail message in Mail. You can then drag and drop
your file right into the body of the e-mail message you are
composing. A copy of that file will be sent as an attachment.
The second way to do this is to create a new e-mail message to
compose. At the top of the new e-mail window there will be a button
called "Attach". You can click on this, or you can choose File menu
--> Attach File. Navigate to the file that you want to send as an
attachment. Click on Choose File.
Here is a free tutorial to show you how to do the above:

There is a nice, free, video tutorial on how to use Apple's Mail here:
