Missing plug-in in Mail

It appears this issue has popped up in the past, here and in general. I haven't seen it associated with 10.7 OS, though. (I could be wrong.)

I received an e-mail which notes a "Missing Plug-In" instead of a photo. Other e-mails are displaying images properly, it appears (so far) that just this one doesn't.

The usual "fix" is to reset Java preferences and restart Apple Mail, which I've done and which hasn't solved the problem for this e-mail.

I'm not sure if it's worth worrying about ... but I'd rather not have this happen with future e-mails if there's something I can do now. Thanks, as always, for your advice and help.

Well, it also split several times:

True, but this graph may put things in perspective, regarding my point:

Friday March 9 is embedded in the 5.1 beta code. Stockholder's meeting is at Apple HQ Thursday Feb 23.

So Tuesday March 6 or Wednesday the 7th is likely the drop dead date for the iPad 3 & iOS 5.1 press event.

Except that it is a Classic app.

One that works in OS X (I don't know about Lion) is RCDefaultApp:

I used to know how to bring up a table of various permutations of these marks where you would double click on the one you wanted and it appeared in the document .... but cannot find it. Can anyone please help?

Well, you can do that with PopChar, or you can do it using keyboard shortcuts (e.g., type option-u then u alone to get a u with an umlaut). But you mention double clicking.

You are probably talking about Character Viewer.
Language and Text, then the Input Sources tab. There, put a checkmark next to Keyboard & Character Viewer, at the top of the list. That will make an icon appear in your menu bar near the right side, where you can choose Character Viewer, and find all the characters you could possibly want (IF you can find them there!).

Randy, that a GREAT tip. Thanks! I experimented and learned that it works, of course, just as well if you put aliases to documents in that folder, which I find convenient.

I'm on Snow Leopard and it worked perfectly, just dragging the printer to the left part of the Dock.

Which WiFi?

Posted by: "Donna Ells" dellis70@tampabay.rr.com   dellis551

Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:36 am (PST)



Hi, I hope you can offer suggestions.

We have WiFi thru the local cable company using Netgear modem.
There are 2 iMacs in our home and one wireless printer.
My iMac is about 2 feet from the modem, connected wirelessly.
Jack's iMac is about 50 feet away in another room connected wirelessly. The
wireless printer is in that room also.
The wireless printer works without a problem. So did Jack's iMac until
recently.

We live in a neighborhood where everyone has 5 acres ­ all around us.
Jack's iMac has begun peculiar behavior in the past month.
He is dropped from the internet unexpectedly. I notice each time that there
are multiple modem options on his computer when accessing the modem pull
down menu to determine is Airport connectivity.

Our netgear is password protected. Apparently, others are not.
Sometimes, Jack's computer is logging into a neighbor's netgear, and after a
few minutes, he is dropped. If I go into the Airport pull down menu and wait
for it to search options, it will provide 2 to 6 other options for logging
in. So we have to keep choosing Netgear options until ours is finally found.
We finally figured out Jack's computer is attempting to log into our
neighbors' modems, because one neighbor recently purchased a Buffalo
AirStation WiFi modem and now that option is popping up.

How can we make it so his computer only searches for our modem?
How can we make sure our neighbors are not accessing our WiFi?

Thanks in advance for explaining this to me.

That is not the correct way to be connected to the internet 2 feet from the router. Whenever you can connect a computer to a router via an Ethernet cable it is advantageous to do so. Your wireless connection is radically slower than if you simply connect your iMac with a short Ethernet cable to the router 2 feet away - never connect wirelessly from 2 feet away. You will notice radically faster performance as soon as you hook it up that way and TURN OFF your Wi-Fi. Go into network settings to make sure your internet connection is resumed after you TURN OFF your Wi-Fi. You need to TURN OFF your Wi-Fi to force the computer to use the faster Ethernet cable connection. Your computer will still have access to the wireless printer even with your Wi-Fi turned OFF. Leave Wi-Fi OFF all the time. Your still on the same network as the printer even though your are hard wired to the router.

In your Wi-Fi settings you can set it to FORGET networks other than your own. Then it won't try to connect to them.

Add a password to your router's settings. Call your cable company for technical assistance as to how.

I have this problem sometimes.

You should first call your cable provider to assist you in renaming your wireless connection so you can identify it. I don't much care about passwords myself but you might want to add one so your neighbor does not have a similar problem. In fact, if you can, ask your neighbor to do the same. You will both have less trouble.

The likely reason for the switch is that something is causing your connection to drop momentarily and the iMac quickly looks for the only available option and connects to the neighbor since there is no password. It's just trying to help. ;)

Open your Network Preferences, highlight the Airport connection at the left, click Advanced button (lower right).

You should see a list of "Preferred Networks" in the center. This should include everything you've ever connected to. Drag these into the correct order, top to bottom, and use the "-" button to delete any you don't want to connect to. This might be a bit tricky until you can distinguish your connection from your neighbors.

I do not know if you can disallow a particular connection. Probably. Someone else may have a suggestion. But you can mitigate the problem by making interference less of a problem. When you call your cable company, ask them to help you change your channel to the other end of the range. Other common sources of interference are wireless phones (not cell, but wireless) and microwaves and pretty much any other radio device. Keep all such devices away from both the router and your iMac.

Cheers,
tod

Where is iCloud data kept

Posted by: "Daly Jessup" jessup@san.rr.com

Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:54 am (PST)



After all this time, I am feeling it's time to get ready for iCloud and Lion.

I have one particular worry that I hope for some insight into. I've googled it and so on, but never quite feel my question has been answered.

If I sign up for iCloud for AddressBook and Calendar, where will the data live? I know they say that the iCloud copy is the master, but let's say that iCloud was having server glitches. Would my data exist anywhere on my own machines? Would I be able to make backup copies of my Calendars and Addresses?

But does that mean that it will also be in NC, or that it will exist
only in NC? I thought iCloud was basically an intermediary site to
which all your devices would synchronize. I'm not close to using it
yet, but would like to understand it better, too.

Well, now you're getting to one of my main peeves, which is that
entrusting your data to any third party exposes you to their
vulnerabilities. Although clouds (read: remotely accessible server
farms via internet) are supposedly secure, it's like anything else:
when the plug gets kicked out of the wall, or their security is
breached, you'd better have your own local data backup.

(Great link for you who are concerned:
http://features.techworld.com/personal-tech/3333293/worst-internet-privacy-scandals-of-all-time/
)

As for Mac stuff (I don't use iCloud), recall that whatever you store
to your hard drive is still stored to your hard drive when you save
it to the hard drive.

What people don't seem to understand is that iCloud doesn't so much
"synch" all your data to your devices as much as it allows any device
to retrieve whatever is stored on the cloud.

Bottom line, as I understand it, is that simply saving your data to
your hard drive is your back up plan here.

That sounds worse than MobileMe rather than an improvement.
Currently, I always have calendar data on the computer, but it may be
out of date. Once I synch, however, it gets updated. Then I can
leave the web and the latest data is on the computer. No need to save
it ... it automatically gets saved when I synch. It sounds like if I
do the same with iCloud I need to take an extra step to save the data,
or I'll need to go to the cloud again to get it. The advantage of
iCloud is then ... ??

I must be missing something here.

Thanks. Yes, that sure is a huge building. But my question really is, will I have the ability to make local backups of the calendar and address book data, or will it live ONLY in North Carolina?

How would you save it to your Mac?

I know I sound stupid, but there's something about all this that makes me uncomfortable.

So, say I'm viewing my Calendar but its content is coming from North Carolina. I can just do something like "File/Save" and put the calendar data somewhere and now it's on my computer? Would I think be able to access that backup, in case North Carolina had a hurricane?

I assume that it would be an automatic save like you say...I don't know. I doubt that I would ever use iCloud.

sent box in perpetual state of "sending"

Hi there.

The moving gear icon near my sent box is continuously moving. There is nothing in my outbox (I deleting the message I thought was causing the problem). I've rebuilt my mailboxes, restarted Mail, etc. I am currently repairing permissions. Any other suggestions apart from restarting, which I'll do next?
