This may have already been addressed but I'm too lazy to look and wouldn't know what to even look for in the archives anyway.

How do you enlarge the thumbnails in iphoto so you can see what you're trying to send / share?

Thanks in advance...

Why don't you try double clicking on the thumbnail and see what happens.

In my version there is a slider in the bottom right corner. Do you have
that?

That doesn't work. The moment I select a photo, it transfers to the email as an attachment. I can't see (too small) what it is until its sent (too late). K

You mean in your email client or at iPhoto? No, to both. K

I thought you were asking about iPhoto. Why would I be describing an email
client? My iPhoto is '09 (8.1.2). Which do you have?

You have no slider in the bottom bar of the iPhoto window?

In iPhoto '11 (= version 9.2.3) the slider is in the bottom bar on the *left* side. :-)

If you are in iPhoto then use the slider as Otto said. Simply selecting a photo in iPhoto will certainly not send it as an attachment. You have to do more than that.

If on the other hand you are in Mail, then

1) Create a new message

2) Show the integrated Photo Browser by clicking on the corresponding icon in the upper right corner (see screen shot no. 1)

http://minus.com/mNqtCJb3c/

3) Double-click on one of the thumbnails

4) You should now see a sort of very large preview (see screen shot no. 2)

http://minus.com/mNqtCJb3c/2

5) Flip through the enlarged pictures/thumbnails by using the arrow keys.

If you use Mail you don't even have to open iPhoto. Just use the integrated Photo Browser in Mail.

Was this of any help?

Flashback Malware failure

Flashback-K malware breaks down; no payment for creators
Sun May 20, 2012

From 600,000 infections to 10,000; ad vendor won't pay

After possibly infecting up to 1.8 percent of the Macintosh population with a click-fraud macro through a Java vulnerability, the Flashback creators won't get paid despite their efforts, reports Computerworld. Following a coordinated security effort between antivirus vendors and security experts, remote malicious orders were blocked or prevented from effecting an estimated peak 600,000 infected computers. Apple joined the fray late, but provided patches and a removal tool for the malware.

"Lots of security companies sinkholed Flashback's domains, and this caused [the hackers] a lot of problems," said Liam O'Murchu, manager of operations at Symantec's security response center. After the combined anti-Flashback efforts, about 10,000 macs remained controlled by the bot-net, but the advertising affiliate that served 98% of the generated clicks isn't paying the creators.

The Flashback malware was designed not to harm the user's own data, but to connect the computer to a botnet that served ads the user wouldn't have normally seen or steal clicks from Google ads generated by users. Across the three weeks that the malware was active, some 10 million ads were served, resulting in about 400,000 click-throughs that would have generated around $14,000 for the malware creators.

"The traffic we've analyzed tells us that they hadn't been paid," said O'Murchu, "They haven't been able to provide the information to the pay-per-click affiliate that [was] required to be paid." Legitimate advertising vendors use a variety of anti-fraud mechanisms, including identity checks and sampling the traffic from the source of the clicks, to insure that the clicks are legitimate. Without these verification steps, advertisers won't pay the advertising vendor.

Apple provided the patch in mid-April for the exploit after it made headlines two weeks prior. The exploit was made public in February. Java patches for Snow Leopard and Lion are available, and a separate removal tool is also downloadable for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion. [via Computerworld]

Re: iMac and external graphics via Thunderbolt

Thanks a ton for all of the great info.
I'll have to investigate it over my lunch break today.
Once you said 'card cage' that rang a bell in my memory. Haven't heard it in a while. I figured it would be expensive though being such a new technology still.
I'd prefer to get the Mac Pro and just put a different card in it, but just can't justify the cash right now. Getting the top-end iMac will get me by for a couple of years until I can afford something better.
Thanks again Dan. Much appreciated!

Jeff
