Re: Missing Entries in iCal

I'm still unclear on why iCal has both the cmd-e and cmd-i keystrokes. They are only slightly different. I think one brings up the "older" view and one the newer, and correspondingly, the keystrokes are old and new standards (edit vs. get info). But I could just be blowing smoke.
In any case, not likely to be your problem. I've even noticed that it does not matter how you close the edit window. Hitting escape does NOT cause you to lose info as one might expect. Clicking done and using cmd-e both close elegantly.
I'm thinking corruption in the database, but I have not seen any check or fix routine mentioned. Mail has "rebuild" for instance. That's a tiny bit surprising since such problems are common in any complex database. Most have some kind of "integrity" check in my experience. One indirect fix might be to export, delete, and reimport. I think this is suggested in the thread I referenced.
But I'm with you. If you are not currently experiencing the problem, leave it alone. If it reappears, act more aggressively. I would advise exporting a complete backup though, just in case. It is possible to lose everything to corruption. It can happen to any database.
Cheers,

I take this with a grain of salt. They all "outsource." The myth is that they don't. Besides "outsource" has become a meaningless phrase. What does "outsource" mean in modern tech economy anyway? It's hard to even keep track of who owns which company!
To be clear, I don't disagree that WD is not working to the highest standards at the moment, but that does not mean everything they are building should be ignored. There is too little competition in drives to simply ignore one major manufacturer entirely.
There is no question every drive manufacturer goes through rough spots, but capitalism has a remarkable way of "correcting" for such failures, especially in tech. Seagate was in the dog house last year. These guys are HUGE and their quality varies from model to model, factory to factory, year to year. Focus on the reputation of the individual drive model. The best have had very bad years. I've worked through "don't buy" Seagate (based one mechanism), IBM (one drive), Hitachi (dont' remember), Western Digital (current), LaCie (heat failures)... did I miss anyone? They've all had problems.
Also consider that this is simply not rocket science anymore. Drives are a commodity. If you buy a cheap drive model, you will get cheap construction. For many uses, that's enough. If you want quality construction, you have to pay more.
Most important. EVERY drive fails. It's only a question of when, and whether you are prepared..

As far as internal mechanisms go, because of industry consolidation,
there are now only two choices: Seagate and Western Digital. For
3.5-inch desktop drive mechanisms, there are no longer any other
choices (no matter what the name is on the box). It is no longer a
matter of purchasing "cheap" drives, or purchasing "expensive"
drives, with the exception of different models within the same brand
marketed as having higher quality, and the exception of purchasing
different brands of *external* hard drives which may or may not do
some quality testing of their own prior to sale.
My contact within the hard drive recovery service industry says that
he has already seen Seagate's (internal mechanism) quality decline,
but that it is nowhere near as bad as Western Digital.
Lack of competition means that there is no longer any need to compete
based on quality.
Here is how things have shaken out:
Western Digital purchased Hitachi which had previously purchased
IBM's hard drive division
<http://www.zdnet.com/blog/ storage/wd- buys-hitachi- gst-the-good- and-
the-bad/1309>
Seagate purchased Samsung's hard drive division
<http://blogs.forbes.com/ briancaulfield/ 2011/04/19/ seagate-agrees- to-
buy-samsungs-hard-drive- business- in-1-375- billion-deal/ >
Earlier Seagate purchased Maxtor which had previously purchased Quantum
<http://hardware.slashdot. org/story/ 05/12/21/ 1311235/Seagate- buys-

<http://articles.sfgate.com/ 2000-10-05/ business/ 17663615_ 1_maxtor-

Toshiba purchased Fujitsu's hard drive division
<http://www.bit-tech.net/ news/hardware/ 2009/02/18/ toshiba-to- buy-

Basically there are now only three players in the rotating disk hard
drive field. Toshiba concentrates on 2.5-inch drives for mobile
computers. So there are only two companies now making 3.5-inch hard
drive internal mechanisms.

X 10.7.3 High Res Pointers - New Feature
Posted by: "Denver Dan" denver.dan@verizon.net denverdan22180
Tue Feb 7, 2012 10:15 am (PST)
Howdy.
I think we've all missed a subtle new set of feature enhancements in
the Mac OS X 10.7.3 upgrade that just came out.
Here's an article on the new pointer features.
<http://www.tuaw.com/2012/ >02/07/os- x-10-7-3- includes- new-high- res-pointer- icons-rampant- specula/
Apple has done some high resolution upgrades to the various pointers,
arrows, cursor arrows, grab hand, camera icon, screen capture,
contextual drag icon (green circle/plus) that you see in Mac OS X
10.7.3.
This enhancement may also improve the look of some icons when using the
Zoom feature found in Universal Access panel. (Seeing>Zoom).

John,
That is correct. You gotta get Lion to make that happen. Some speculate that iCloud functionality will be retrofitted into Snow Leopard. Not a ton of evidence, but I suppose anything is possible if Apple wants it to be so.

Are you worried about your photos in Gallery on MobileMe? If so, they are going away after June 30th, so I would worry about moving them somewhere else instead.

To burn material to a BluRay (BD) disc you must have a BD burner.
It's easy to use Toast to burn BD data discs.
It's NOT easy to make a true BD video AND burn to a BD video disc.
You can't use a DVD burner to burn anything to a BD disc.
A BD burner can also burn CD and DVD discs.

Re: BLU RAY

No. First you should understand that Blu-ray data and Blu-ray video are two different things, just like DVDs with data and an a DVD-video movies.
Blu-ray data discs, more commonly referred to simply as "BDr" can be made with Toast, but you do need a Blu-ray drive (burner). In fact, Blu-ray discs use the same data format as DVDs even though they use a different laser technology and stock. BD burners cost roughly $100-150 for internal and a bit more for external. Stock is about $8+ per disc. LaCie makes a "name brand" external, but it's pricey. Look for small label value added resellers (maybe OWC) or buy the external case and internal drive separately.
Blu-ray video (movies) can be made with an upgraded version of Toast Pro (total cost about $125). The Blu-ray movie format is extremely complex. What Toast makes is a very basic variation of the format. It works though. Final Cut can also make simple Blu-ray video discs. Final Cuts look better in my experience, but that's a more expensive path.
Anything more complicated than these basic discs is expensive (software starting at $600+) and very difficult to make.
Blu-ray video format (file/folder format) can be burned to DVD discs. Most Blu-ray players can play such discs. Since a DVD can only hold a fraction of the data of a BRr disc, such movies are limited in length, but it is a way to create HD quality playback discs without a Blu-ray player. Many players can also play DVD discs with other HD format files (DIVX, h.264, Oog Vorbis, Mkv, AVCHD and others) if you can settle for a custom solution. Check your Blu-ray players manual.
You cannot PLAY Blu-ray movies on Macs, even if you have the right drive and Toast. Apple simply does not support the format. Too complicated to get into here. There is one software package that claims to add Blu-ray playback to Macs, but the reviews of this software are extremely mixed and it's kinda sketchy. I have not tried it. So while you can make a Blu-ray movie disc with a Mac, you can't play it on the Mac to check it. Almost comic if you ask me.
This is all Mac info. Blu-ray is easier on Windows because Microsoft supports the format, at least indirectly. You still need third party software, but there a lot more and playback is not that big a deal. I like the software in the TMPEG family (Pegasys) a lot, though I have not used their Blu-ray authoring app. There compression is excellent quality.
Cheers,
tod

Here is a way to do it that is simple, and which doesn't require you
to install or purchase anything.
Go to:
[hard drive icon] --> Users folder --> [your user name] --> Library --
> Printers
and drag the icon for your printer into your Dock.
Put all of the files (or copies of them) that you want to print into
the same folder.
Open the folder and hit Command-A to choose them all.
Make sure that your printer is turned on.
Drag them all on top of the icon for your printer in the Dock.
They will all be printed automatically.

Howdy.
There is a standard way to select multiple files and then drag n drop
on a printer icon to queue them all to print.
You can drag 3 or 4 files, or 50, to a printer icon in your Dock when
the printer is already printing something and its icon is showing in
the Dock.
Or,
You can make a printer icon that stays on the Desktop or Dock
permanently even when the printer is not printing.
To make a permanent printer icon:
1. Open the Print & Scan panel in System Preferences (Panel name is
from Lion system version).
2. Drag the icon from the Printers list on left of panel to Desktop or
to Dock.
If you drag the icon to the Dock, it needs to be on the left of the
Dock's divider line, in the application section of the Dock.
That's it.
Now select 10 files from a Finder window and drag to the printer icon.
Printing should begin. A window should open that shows the print queue
and the various icons and commands to use the features of a print queue
and the list of files that are waiting in the queue to print and the
one being actively printed.
You can open this print queue window at any time after you make a
printer icon by double-clicking the icon. The print queue window will
be named for the printer but the command icons on the queue window's
Toolbar may have some different capabilities depending on the brand,
model, and type of printer.
If you need to do a quick check of the one of the files waiting in the
queue to see what it is (maybe you can't remember the contents) you can
use the Quick Look feature of Finder in exactly the same way by
selecting a file in the queue list and pressing Space Bar, or, by
clicking the little arrow in the small gray circle at left of each file
item.
- - - - -
TIP [for extra credit :-) ]. You can also use a printer icon to print
a list of files in a Finder window. To do this you open the Finder
window that you want so it's the active window, then you drag a special
folder icon of the window to the printer icon. A print command should
open that lets you control which printer will do the printing (if you
have more than one printer connected) and to do the usual print dialog
commands.
The printed list of files is very basic and shows 3 columns with the
file name, the file size, and the Date Modified info (date and time
file was last modified). The printed list is similar to what you see
in Finder's List view but it only prints the 3 column items even if you
have used the Show View Options dialog to customize what the Finder
window displays to show data like Date Created, Date Last Opened, Date
Added, Version, Comments, and Label (color Label's name description),
and the icon size and text size. It's all ignored except File Name,
File Size, and Date Modified.

One option is to combine all the PDFs into one. You will now have a new file that you can name and print. I do this all the time with Acrobat Pro. Select all. Right click. Combine.

If you choose this approach, and don't want to pay for Acrobat Pro
(about $450), you can instead use:
Combine PDF's ($30)
http://www.monkeybreadsoftware. de/Freeware/ CombinePDFs. shtml
which I highly recommend.
OS X's Preview can also be used to combine a bunch of PDF's into
one. But it isn't as quick and easy as Combine PDF.
There is a free AppleScript available to do this as well:

Cannot Delete Trash

Hi all,
I am having problems deleting or emptying the trashcan in OSX Lion 10.7.3. The trash is set to empty securely and for some reason seems to either be very slow or has stopped altogether.
Is there another way of deleting, maybe even setting to normal (non-secure) emptying?
Thanks.

Look in your Finder Preferences. Uncheck Empty Trash Securely in the Advanced options.
