Howdy.
Outburst is just fine. You should hear some of mine.
I find that a reverential chanting and repetition of curse words under
your breath so Mac can't really hear them and punish you is very
effective.
It's sorta like doing Nam-myoho-renge-kyo but with a few choice four
letter words.

For a while, while I still had my PPC machine that could run an older
OS, I actually transferred the older system's preference pane to the
newer system's preference panes' library, and it worked fine. Been a
long time ago, so I don't recall what pane it was, Possibly the
"Internet" one?
Eventually I stopped it, as there really is no big reason to keep
changing Email or browsers, and on the very few times I have to do so
I can go to Mail or Safari.

There is also a preference pane called RCDefaultApp available from www.rubicode.com/Software/ RCDefaultApp/ that will allow you to set default apps depending on all sorts of conditions.

Hmmm! maybe I misunderstood you, I thought you wanted to get rid of a total entry and command x does that, or at least it gets rid of that entry totally! With my address book, the address below the one that I deleted moves up. I am not sure what No Name is.

Howdy.
Doug, "delete an entry" means to me to delete the entire
record/contact. To remove the entire item.
If you wish to edit or change info in one field in a record, then first
click the Edit button at bottom of the record page for that contact.

Re: Apple Stock

Howdy.
Apple's last quarter financials showed huge increases in sales, income,
cash on hand, and percent of market large jumps for all products it
sells except for the basic iPod.
iPod basic sales going down a bit but in favor of huge increases in
iPhone and iPod Touch sales.
Desktop Macs saw a large jump in sales
<http://www.apple.com/pr/library/ >2012/01/24Apple- Reports-First- Quarter-Results. html
Four lines from the report:
37.04 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 128 percent unit
growth over the year-ago quarter.
15.43 million iPads during the quarter, a 111 percent unit increase
over the year-ago quarter.
5.2 million Macs during the quarter, a 26 percent unit increase over
the year-ago quarter.
15.4 million iPods, a 21 percent unit decline from the year-ago
quarter.
Almost $100 billion in cash.
- - - - -
I think the Macintosh computer sales are the highest in company history
for any quarter.
Apple sold more iPads alone than Hewlett-Packard sold PeeCees.
But a company's stock price isn't determined in a vacuum and is
impacted by other factors of financial joy and worry and as someone
once said, the stock market is like a beauty pageant.
Apple just closed today, February 9, 2012, at $493.17 USD, up almost
3.5% for today alone.
I love the success of Apple after all these years but hope it's time
for a little dividend!!

Article in today`s WSJ, I have not seen it, that the new i-Pad will be released during the first week in March.
I doubt that the source is from the company but this unconfirmed news, coupled by a whole slew of analysts`
higher price targets, is driving the stock.

iCloud-how do I turn it off safely?

I've been reading this group for a long time. Thanks to all of you.
I'm running Lion on a 2007 iMac. Every time I try to turn off iCloud, I lose stuff. Fortunately I've caught it and have restored from Time Machine. I show zero being stored on iCloud. I have no mobile devices and want to keep it simple. Is it possible to safely turn it off? Thanks! -Dave

I need a new flatbed scanner...
Posted by: "Michael Mielko" mastersoundsdjs@gmail.com mastersoundsdjs
Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:06 pm (PST)
I have an older Epson flatbed scanner, the Epson Perfection 1250 ... It has began to show banding in the scans, and I believe the scanner optics are beginning to die.
So after 8-10 years of service I need to replace this scanner. I would like to stay with the epson scanners, I currently have my sights on the Epson Perfection v500 but it is really big and bulky.
I want something more compact, byt the Epson V33 scanners seem like garbage in quality when I checked them out at staples. So I am also considering the cannon flatbed scanners.
Can anyone give me some feedback on the current group of Cannon and Epson scanners (Under 150 is my budget) ... Like everything, I do know you pay for quality ... and I don't expect a 59.00 scanner to do what a 500.00 scanner will do or quality of materials used to build the units..
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

printer question

Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:24 pm (PST)
I have an HP Officejet 6000. I just replaced all of my cartridges
with HP compatible ones. I've used these in the past instead ofo HP
one and they did fine. But this time, the printer is telling me I
don't have any ink in the magenta one and when I print, I get a green
print and not black. I went online to try to find some place where I
could find out about this, but so far, haven't found how to solve
this. Ideas?

It could be the print head. Try replace the magenta with an OEM cartridge and see what happens. I doubt you'll solve the problem through software; although you could try removing all the cartridges and powering the printer down (unplug completely). Leave it off for a few minutes Then power it up and reinstall the cartridges. It probably won't change anything, but you never know. Did you try cleaning the heads?
Some printers - maybe all of them - mix colors to get black when your printing in color. Do you have a choice in your print dialog to print in black or gray scale, in addition to a color option? Choosing black, if it's an option, may give you the output you're looking for; but, of course, it won't solve the magenta problem.
