That a good question. There are other sites that also would be a problem
for download scheduling. Maybe someone will come up with a solution. If I were still actively developing I would work on it.

>how do you delay downloads from App store?
I use Folx. Set start and stop time in Preferences, then everything I
download I can choose to download immediately or scheduled. Handy also if
you don't want to tie up your internet connection. I see they have an
updated version of Folx that I haven't upgraded to, but I assume it works
the same. Scheduled downloading should be a feature of any OS.
Also, add me to the list of folks willing to download for others, but I
question the legality of this and his does Apple get paid.

I have Folx 2, Pro version. When I download from the App Store it does not interface to Folx. Have 6 updates available from the App Store, dl one and it did not interface to Folx (just did that).
Does it work with the App Store for you?

I'm sure that this does not work for purchases from the App Store, but should work for updates made from the Apple Support downloads, if you enter the URL.
I used to use Speed Download from Yazsoft.com for years, but do not find a need for it any more. It has been updated for 10.6.8 and later. You could schedule downloads, and if the download was interrupted it would break up the download and re-join the pieces afterward. You might be able to schedule it to use your limit each day from satellite, if you could not get it done during the free time at night.
Again, you can't have it all, at least not for free.

If you want to do this all by yourself without using an extra application, it may be rather cumbersome but not impossible.
Even in Preview you can select part of a PDF text and copy-paste it somewhere else.

I just tried 2 experiments:
1) went to AT&T, printed a detailed bill, tried to copy/paste tabular data into TextEdit and into Numbers. Would require EXTENSIVE editing, and still wouldn't be sure I got it right.
2) went to AT&T, obtained an in-browser display of some of my tabular data, copied the table from within the browser, pasted it into Numbers. Pasted perfectly as a table.
So: try doing it from the website directly, even if you want to save the bill as a PDF anyway.

Hans, thank you, but I was trying to move a whole spreadsheet at once. and it all lands in one column and all mixed up. What a mess.

Thanks Jim.
I'll try that, if I can find the correct web page. They have re-organized their site and I am no longer seeing anything but the summary, or the option to down load the "paper" statement as a PDF, as the only way to get a full or detailed statement. (Dumbies, don't even know that a PDF is not paper.)
The talk of the throttling of unlimited accounts has caused me to wonder about the accuracy of the statements.
Telco's are the only utility that I have found to purposely make their statements almost impossible to be read and all to often include charges that don't belong there. This has gone on since the 60's, and with both the landline and cellular companies. I have checked water, gas and electric, and occasionally found them to guestimate a single month, if the reader did not make it by, but it was always corrected in the following month.
I once caught Verizon bill 900 minutes over 3 months that were not made on a pay-as-you-go account, and claim it was a computer error, while claiming that cell phones could no longer be cloned. Pretty good trick to make a call from the West Coast and then 20 minutes later make the next call from East Coast. "Sorry, Verizon, I don't commute in an X-15 spy plane."
Stepping off the soap box,

Hi Louise,
I just moved from a 2006 iMac using Snow Leopard to a Macbook Air with the Lion OS. I'm not sure what version of OSX you're using on your G4 but I was able to just use an import/export command to transfer my mail and address book contacts. Open the app on your G4 and under the "File" command on the menu bar you should see an "export address book archive" option in the address book and in Mail it's "export mailboxes" option (at least that's what it was on my computers). I exported each file to the desktop. My 2 computers were connected via wifi so I then separately opened each app on the new computer and chose "File/import." I navigated to the appropriate file on the old computer's desktop and it imported the info right into the app on the new computer.
Good luck!

True, but then why would one use Migration Assistant to just move user
data? It would be quicker to just copy the data, if need be, in Target
Disk mode.

Re: Synch problems with iCloud
Posted by: "Bill Morton" billmorton999@gmail.com redpup99
Sun Feb 26, 2012 9:00 am (PST)
Utter mystery. At the time I originally wrote the question, I had
valid AB entries on my iPhone, and on the iCloud. Only the
MBPRO had zero entries.
It had been that way for at least 2 days. I checked the MBPRO
again last night before retiring---and it had a complete valid
set of entries! I SWEAR I didn't do anything to change it,
nor did I connect the iPhone to the MBPRO.
So what happened? I postulate that somehow it was refreshed
from the iCloud data, since the only other source of data would
have been the iPhone which never was connected during
this time.
I've had so much trouble with synching that I'm now to the
point I don't trust ANY of this software. May have go return
to a Rolodex with paper cards in it!

1. There is stuff in ~/Library Application Support/Addressbook, but I don't know what is what there.
2. While in AddressBook, you can go to File Menu -- Export... -- AddressBook Archive and manually create a backup anywhere you want.
3. Similarly for iCal backups, except you have to highlight and backup each of your calendars individually.

Re: can't play DVD copy
Posted by: "Denver Dan" denver.dan@verizon.net denverdan22180
Sun Feb 26, 2012 9:30 am (PST)
Howdy.
How did you make the copy of the DVD?
You just can't "copy" many commercial video DVDs, the kind with a
Video_TS folder that contains that actually video contents, commands,
links, menus, and more.
Try RIPping the contents of the DVD to your hard drive first. Do this
with a program like Handbrake, MacTheRipper, or RipIt.
MacTheRipper free version requires Rosetta and won't work on Lion.
Then you can play this RIPped video with a program like VLC (free to
download).
You can also convert the video into other file formats for convenience
if you wish to keep them on a hard drive.
If you wish to burn a new DVD with the movie you have RIPped, you can
with a program like Roxio Toast (and others).
These all have to do with a variety of copy protection schemes and
anti-piracy schemes even if you have purchased the original DVD video
and just want to have a copy for yourself.
The several "schemes" are called:
1. MacroVision (makes a VHS video skip or flutter if copied.
2. Region coding: the world of DVDs and DVD players is divided in
several number coded regions.
3. copy protection of several kinds.
Apple's DVD Player adhere's to some of these copy schemes and won't
play some kinds of videos as a result. Try VLC.

Trackpad clicking "sticking"
Posted by: "Michael Dunn" md@cantares.on.ca ambisonx
Sun Feb 26, 2012 9:59 am (PST)
Just got a nice new MacBookPro from work, and as usual, set up the
trackpad to allow for click and drag by doing the double tap & hold.
Works, but there's a delay on the release. I.e., when I lift my
finger to end a drag, I mustn't put it back down for a second or so
or else it will re-grab whatever I was dragging. Very annoying. Is
this normal?

Although I've been using Mac laptops for 14 years, I couldn't say.
Since it became possible to do click-and-drag with the trackpad, that is what I have done: Click. And Drag. Release is instant.

Hi all, I have deleted without using. I just thought that if it came from Apple App store and it had great reviews from the people that used it that it might be good and also that it was an apple product (silly me). I am glad I have this group to keep me straight.
Why does apple put these apps in it;s store if it's a window's product.
I have only had one other computer in my life which was a dell microsoft and this mac laptop which I have had for nearly 3 years I have never heard of this CCleaner before.
I am over 60 and hope I have quite a few years left but I kind of resent that people belive that I or others like me is so hard to convince.
I am very grateful for all the advise I have had here and it has usually been good advise.
That is why I did not use this app until I got some advise from people who are more knowledgable then me.
Thanks again for all your helpful replies.

No, CCLEANER in the app store is a Mac version of a Windoze product.
However, the web page of the developer is still completely Windows-centric.

I just saw a podcast the other day that mentioned the idea that
limiting apps installed under Win 7 will increase stability, as you
mentioned was posted on your list. I found that idea amusing as heck!
I never realized that this had become a fairly common idea amongst the
Windows world.
To see it posted in conjunction with OS X is ludicrous to me. I would
have had the same reaction.
For some reason, consulting in the Win world is extremely profitable.
I've seen offerings for everything under the sun, by companies and
individuals, as if someone had the holy grail, the answer to solve all
problems occurring under that operating system. The thing is, many,
many people pay good money for such snake oil. I've never seen this
happen in the Mac world, although it is apparently increasing now.
As long as the saturation of OS X increases, this type of thinking will
increase. Really a shame as well.
I have a feeling that many of us that have been around for awhile, are
beating their head against a wall here. Nothing will stop people that
are out to make a fast buck.

Re: Application Safari Web Content

I understand that you, Bill B, are a Mac guru and found my query dumb. However, how is one to learn if one can't ask what you would call a "stupid" question.
As I used to tell my students, "There are no stupid questions." I an on this email list to learn. I used to teach computer classes is many of the more complicated Windows programs. In the last several years I have added a Mac to my computer desk. I am still learning about Mac OSX and with every iteration from Snow Leopard to Lion there are more questions. Thanks to everyone who answered my query about Application Safari Web Content. I gather it is part of Safari and it takes up memory as Safari uses it. On my machine Safari appears to be using Application Safari Web Content a lot.

Clearing Google search history

It's always been possible to see your Google search history.
Apparently Google is (as of March 1 this year) going to share this
history with all of Google's services:

My question: the ability to see and remove your Google search history
applies only if:
1. you have a Google account , and
2. you are logged in when searching
yes?
Does Google log search data by IP address, and is it possible to see
and remove such if you don't have a Google account to log in to?

Howdy.
This article in MacWorld explains why Handbrake won't work after
installing the just released VLC 2.0 (if you have deleted the older
version of VLC).
How to fix the problem.
