Even if the request is for nothing personal, replying says "Here I am, a live person - spam me!" Bin it.

Thanks! That was the answer, to find them in the Library, not in the Apps tab of the iPhone part of iTunes.
One comment: I think on the iPhone, clicking that X on the shaking icon just quits the application. I think it is actually deleted from the iPhone in that last step, where you re-sync with the app no longer selected in iTunes.
Anyway, that was very helpful.

I don't mean in the small window below the "desktop"/home screen of the iPhone, but in the home screen. If you don't delete it on the iPhone, it will copy it to iTunes the next time you go to sync it. It will give you a message asking if you want to copy a purchase over from the iPhone.

Oh, okay. To my surprise I can get all the Apps "jiggling" that way fro the home screen, but can't find how to delete one of them from that condition. How do you get the option to delete from there?

From there, all the Apps "jiggling" that way fro the home screen, you should see a black dot with an X in it. Press the X, and you should get a dialog box asking if you want to delete that app and all its related data. The choices at that point are delete or cancel.
Hmmm, since you want to re-buy these apps, in this case that may be the deal breaker, unless you have them backed up on your Mac. You may be able to copy them back to your Mac with iTunes, or with some other app. I don't use DropBox or such, so I use PhoneView from ecamm.comm.

The original problem that Daly has is that she is trying to delete apps she bought with an different Apple ID. So, re-downlading is not possible under the Apple ID she now wants to use. That is why I said it may be an issue.

Lion upgrade - email question
Posted by: "Michael_pdx" michael_pdx@yahoo.com Michael_pdx
Sun Mar 11, 2012 11:19 am (PDT)
I upgraded my mini-mac at home to Lion and signed up for the "Cloud", so that I could continue to use my mac.com email address, and now I need help to save my marriage.
We were using Microsoft Entourage from an old version of Office for our email. Now it won't run. So we have no email for my wife using her Comcast email account, and no access to hundreds of saved emails that both she and I saved on purpose. I think I understand the reason (no more Rossetta), but I am not sure I know the solution.
What program can I buy that will allow my wife to use her Comcast email address, and is there a way to have access to all those old emails that we saved using entourage?
Thanks in advance. Mike

Which old version of Office? Office 2008 apps are universal binaries and will run in Lion. On the other hand, the INSTALLER program for Office 2008 is PPC code, so you cannot reinstall (easily) the apps from Office 2008.
Office 2004, on the other hand, is all PPC code and won't run under Lion.
I think you have to export from Entourage (either 2008 or 2004) before you can import into Apple Mail, but Diane Ross is the MS MVP who hangs out here and it's likely she'll give you the best advice if she sees your message.

Thanks Jim, it's Office 2004. There is no doubt. It doesn't run under Lion. A very clear error message is generated. Maybe I could just buy a new version of Office? I would do that in a heartbeat if it will read the old files.

Here's your dilemma: if you can find a copy of Office 2008, you'll have Intel code programs, but the installer on the disk is PPC code. As I mentioned before, I think there IS a trick that will allow you to install.
Of course, the current version of Office is 2011, and it doesn't include an email client unless you purchase the "professional" version, and that client isn't Entourage, it's a completely new application designed to look like Outlook for Windows, and called Outlook for Mac, even though it cannot directly read Outlook for Windows files. I THINK it can read the Entourage monolithic database (one file containing all your email, calendar, contacts, and notes information), but again I'd defer to Diane Ross about all of this

so, that motivated me to call Apple Tech Support about AB, as that was the problem, not Apple Mail.

Setting up a Buffalo Link Station ProQuad
Posted by: "D. Brett Woods" brettlyw@mac.com brettlyw
Sun Mar 11, 2012 12:48 pm (PDT)
Hello,
I am now the proud owner of a Buffalo Link Station ProQuad RAID drive, 8 tb.
Setting it up has been, to say the least, not easy and I'm hoping I can get some help here.
My intention is to move my iTunes music library to the ProQuad as my hard drive in my iMac is almost full.
Here are my issues.
1. The easy instructions that come with the RAID drive say that when you run the NAS Navigator2 program that "the share is mounted as a drive icon on the desktop, or displayed in the sidebar of the Finder." Well, that doesn't happen. Rather, this drive seems to work like an iDisk that you have to sign on to. Or like a shared computer on my airport network that I have to sign on to. Is there a way to get it mounted on the desktop so that it looks like a hard drive and not what I think is called a blue-colored "sharepoint" drive? Again, the drive works absolutely contrary to what the instructions say.
2. I was able to create a folder on the array through the web interface. And after much effort, it is mounted on the desktop as a "sharepoint" drive. When I go to my system preferences, log in items, the drive does not appear as something that I can automatically log in to when I reboot the computer. Rather, I have to go through the sign on process like I'm signing on to an iDisk or to another computer on my home network. Is there a way to fix that so that it can have it show up as a log in item?
3. Most important, what is the best way to get the iTunes library moved to the new RAID drive? I went to iTunes system preferences, advanced and found the "sharepoint" drive I created. I pointed iTunes to that drive. iTunes asked if I would like to keep everything organized and moved to the drive. I clicked yes. A folder was created on the "sharepoint" drive but nothing was moved over. Can I do this through iTunes or am I going to have to move it all manually through the Finder? If I have to do a copy through the Finder, any suggetions? I guess I move the iTunes folder over via copy and then go to iTunes preferences and tell iTunes where I put all the data?
A friend of my has been helping. He is able to have the drive mount on his desktop like a drive. And as a login item. But me, so far, no way. His model is different than mine, so perhaps that explains why I can't do what he does.
I've checked with the company and I have all the latest firmware / software for the unit. The tech. support really couldn't help me on these issues, although they were very nice and helped with other stuff.

Corrupt Address Book
Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468
Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:15 pm (PDT)
A friend has ~ 1000 contacts in his Address Book. He tried to sync
his home iMac with iCloud (he has another iMac at work and an iPhone
all of which access this Address Book data base).
The result is that the home iMac hard disk is working overtime,
slowing down the entire Mac to a crawl.
When Address Book opens it shows multiple duplicate contacts (some as
many as 10x). AB says he now has 24,000 contacts.
Searching the 'net, I see suggestions for rebuilding the AB database
(the alliteratively named file abcddb). Apparently the instructions I
found are not for Lion; upon rebooting after following the
instructions the database did not automatically rebuild itself, and I
could find no means to re-import the database.
Anyone else have this experience or know how to fix a corrupt database?
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
FWIW, and at your own peril…..
i called Apple Support after suffering from my AB not being able to delete entries, etc.
he ran me through some steps, and knowing me, i am sure i have forgotten something.
i dragged all the entries onto the desktop. then i deleted the plist. then something else?
then, i imported all the entries back into AB.
sure hope this is helpful.

I know there's a plus sign in the bottom corner, but when I click on that, I just get the same folders that are already accessible through Preferences.

Hard luck hard disk story
Posted by: "DaveC" davec2468@yahoo.com davec2468

A client who uses mostly PCs had one of them fail last week. He took
it to his local PC shop and they gave him the bad news: hard disk
failure.
"No problem," he says. "I'll just put in a new disk and away we go!"
What about your applications? "I've got them on original CDs." Good.
What about your data files? E-mail archive, financial records? "I'll
just retrieve them from the old disk... oh, wait. They're not there?"
The end of the story involved a business called Drivesavers in N.
California, and $3000 later he was lucky to have his data files
restored.
And believe it or not, all this time he had a backup hard disk
sitting in the corner of his office he was "planning to hook up
sometime."
A tale of caution...

He got taken by Drive Savers. At one time they were the definitive
place to take your Mac's hard drive for recovery. But they got full
of themselves and now do a half-hearted job for ridiculous prices.
I now recommend:
Drive Rescue, Inc.
Mac Data Recovery & Forensics
http://www.driverescue.net
443-310-7920
Drive Rescue would have charged your friend half the price he paid
Drive Savers, or less.
