Disk

I have a mid 2010 MBP with 500GB hard disk. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 1TB disk, can someone tell me what 1TB disk Apple uses in other MBPs as standard ?
Also when I come to copy the data over in SuperDuper, will it matter that my disk is FileVault encrypted?
Thanks,
Andy

It's a good idea to consider a larger external drive in addition to your
existing internal drive. I use a chain of external Firewire drives
along with an internal 500gb drive. I don't care to lose all of my
data in one fell swoop.
It seems to be safe practice for me to keep my system drive on the
smaller size and store media and data externally.
I think if you look back through the threads, there was an extensive
discussion of this not too long ago.
I mean, how much data do you want to lose at one time?

Well, I work in multiple locations so I need access to my data during the day without having to lug an external disk around :-)
When I return home I have a large external drive that I make Time Machine backups to.

Mail, saving too many duplicates.
Posted by: "fussyoldfart" fussyoldfart@gmail.com fussyoldfart

This seems a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it.
I have my gmail set up to forward automatically to MAIL in OS X. As a result I need to look only one place for my messages but - it seems to save a version of each message I compose too often! I want only the completed/sent message but I get another copy every couple of lines or words if I am distracted while writing. I am then obliged to go into MAIL and delete all but the last one.
I don't know if this is a MAIL problem or if it is caused by gmail. Does anyone else have this problem?

I barely use gmail but it sounds like some sort of auto-save gone
berserk?
If you only want to look in one place for all of your mail, it's
pretty simple to set up your gmail account within the mail app. Maybe
that will help?

Hmmm - I thought that's what I had done but maybe it's gmail that I set up. Will have to check that. Thanks.
PS - I will also have to learn to set up gmail within the mail app.

Howdy.
Apple's Mail program has a preference setting to save sent messages.
See Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors
Check the Sent section for the check box.
You may want to use your browser and login to your Google Gmail online,
then check the gear symbol and settings and then Forwarding and
POP/IMAP settings.
I also login to Gmail online about once a week and just go through the
Sent, Junk, and Trash folders and delete stuff manually. It's a good
idea to check the junk filter actions in Gmail occasional and do it
manually to be sure something isn't being junk tagged that you want to
receive.

Is there a way I can stop Mail remembering my password? I've just set it up with my work Exchange account.
Thanks

Howdy.
No. The New Folder With Selection feature is built into Lion.
You have to select a group of files.
Then you have to right click (with those files still selected).
I'll send you a direct message with a screen capture showing what it
looks like.

Howdy.
It doesn't and shouldn't work with applications in the Applications
folder since these may require being in the top level of Applications
in order to work properly.
Same is true, as I think you surmised, about some of the other folders
created by the installer, however, I am able to make folders of both
folders and sub folders in several of the installer installed folder
like Pictures and Music.
I would not want to be shifting stuff in the Music folder, Library
folder, or a few other folders, since that could cause problems for the
applications that "know" of those locations.

Win 8 Preview (FWIW)
Posted by: "Harry Flaxman" harry.flaxman@me.com hflaxman001
Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:18 pm (PST)
I attempted to install the Win 8 preview, first on a 'win ready PC' and
then on my Bootcamp partition. Both of these options are SUPPOSED to
work, however, be prepared for mucho frustration, no matter which
hardware platform you use.
I downloaded the short installer which is supposed to check to see which
hardware and software are compatible.
After it ran for over an hour on my stock 'win' pc, I killed it. It was
supposed to take 'a few minutes'. Yah, right!
I then attempted to run it while booted into my Bootcamp partition, with
the same results.
The app did not stop responding, it must just have been checking every
solder joint! That's all I can figure.
Anyway, if you've got a couple of days to waste, there are also ISO
images. I started DLing the 64 bit image. Let's see, it's been going
for about 50 minutes and I've got 266mb of 3.34GB down so far.
Is it worth it?? Not to me, that's for sure.
Windows still is...Windows, after all ! :)

Re: Some VPN questions and observations

(Sorry about the late response.)
VPN is commonly used in business for the reasons you say, of course, but
it's rarely mentioned here. I suppose that not too many of us need it and,
if we do, it is likely to be set up by specialists in our employers' IT
departments (security is all and the setup *must* be correct).
I'll mention, though, that OS X has built-in support for VPN PPTP and L2TP
in System Preferences > Network (10.5; might be elsewhere in other
versions).
