Barb,
Thanks for asking that question.
Thanks, Earle.
I like it.... now that I know what caused it and how to handle it.

I just played around with it today and figured it out. I like it too. It zooms the area around your cursor, so it's very useful.

Re: Suddenly no sound

Thanks for your reply. I had done everything including your suggestions and things were still greyed out and muted. I had also restarted to no avail. However, I had not shut down the computer completely and when I shut it down and restarted, the problem was fixed. I'm not sure how, because I had never checked mute anywhere, but now the muting is unchecked due to the shut down and restart. Thanks again for your help.

Safari & PDF trouble
Posted by: "Rob Frankel" rob@robfrankel.com robfrankeldotcom
Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:45 pm (PDT)
Anyone else noticing Safari's increasing inability to correctly
download/print PDF files from various web sites? I'm finding more
and more sites (Chase bank, Costco) will either "print largest frame"
or if it does recognize it as a PDF, only downloads 75% of each page.
Firefox has no problem.
If you have discovered this issue and fixed it, please share!
I'm running:
MBP 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.4 with only extension being AdBlock 2.5.1.9 (tried it
disabled, same thing)

This is solved. I knew something was weird when I still didn't see the "X" after switching to a brand new iPhone 4S this week. I finally found that the built-in apps on the main page don't show an X. I swiped to the next page of icons, which were not built-in apps, and they all had the X.
Thanks very much.

Ah, good. I had assumed you had at least one non-built-in app on your first page.

adding mp3 books to iTunes
Posted by: "Tanya Metaksa" tanya.metaksa@att.net tanya.metaksa@att.net
Sat Mar 17, 2012 3:25 pm (PDT)
My husband has received a number of audio books on MP3 disks. I have been trying to copy them to my MacBook Pro and then to his iPod touch.
The files copy over to the Mac and then when I find them in iTunes they seem to be classified as "Music" and the tracks seem to be all mixed up.
I want to put them in the Books section and then transfer them to the iPod. Can anyone help me?
TIA

All you have to do is highlight the tracks that you want to change the
media type for. Right click and select get-info, or use command-i.
Then change the media type, under options, to audiobook.

Sounds like you're not in the right place. Try one track, right or
ctrl-click on it. Then, either select 'get info' from the contextual
menu (drop down), or hold down command-i. The results should be a
window with info on that track. Within that window, choose the options
pane. You will see a 'media type' field there. Select 'audiobook'.
THe media type in this instance, is not the file type, rather, a tag
that the system uses to determine what kind of media file iTunes 'sees'
it as.

Apple TV: trashing viewed podcasts
Posted by: "Ken" avlisk@cox.net avliska
Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:36 pm (PDT)
Magic! I just bought my first ever AppleTV. It is blowing my mind with what it does. It's magical. My question is, now that I can view downloaded iTunes podcasts on my HDTV instead of on my MacBook Air, will I need to manually delete the viewed-on-AppleTV podcasts from my computer, or, does the whole system know the podcasts were viewed on the AppleTV and they'll continue to be recognized as "viewed" , and automatically delete from the computer?
Thanks.

Thunderbolt Stuff
Posted by: "Harry Flaxman" harry.flaxman@me.com hflaxman001
Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:47 pm (PDT)
I don't know if anyone has been paying attention, but the market is
starting to really 'sprout' Thunderbolt devices.
I just watched a demo of the Seagate Thunderbolt Flex adapter. Quite
amazing. One can basically take any drive, SATA etc., and integrate it
on the Thunderbolt bus. The speeds seem dramatically better. This
means you can take a previously used internal drive and adapt it to
Thundrbolt.
Not to be outdone, LaCie introduced a Thunderbolt drive, albeit
expensive, 2 weeks ago.
I think I might go with the 'Flex'. It is $190 retail, but inexpensive
compared to the rest.
Of course, the T-bolt cable must be bought from Apple for $49. What's
up with that???
