Dane,
I don't know either, but I suspect Disk Utilities, SuperDuper and YASU all call the same underlying shell command.
Anybody know? Any comments on my original "error message"?
Thx,
Lou

I already tried that, and nothing happened :(

Hi,
I have a city water bill that I print out and save as pdf after I pay the bill and then I save this in the Shared Folder within a folder called Receipts.
When I type the word water (in the Save as dialog search window) so I can see just those files in the Folder Receipt, no files show up. I do this search so that I can click on the file and then the file name will be consistent and I just change the date of the receipt. For some reason this doesn't work.
When I search for the same name within the global spotlight magnifying glass the files show up.
Does the search function within the Save As window not use the spotlight index. I have reset the index and had it reindex everything - no change in behavior.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Jay

Jay,
I've been struggling a bit with Spotlight searches in the last few weeks. I find it to be a bit temperamental and less than intuitive at times.
To find the word "water", start typing in the search box. Then click the small "+" sign to add a search filter. In the left-most drop down box, select "Name", then to the right "contains" and then type in "water". If you are searching for a File Name, then be sure to click the File Name button. If searching for the word "water" in the file contents, click the Contents button. You'll probably have to remove the original text you typed into the Spotlight search window. As long as you are not searching for a hidden file or in a hidden folder, it should show up in your search.
If you anticipate doing this search regularly, Save the search by clicking the Save button under the Spotlight search window. Name it and it will show up in the Sidebar.
Better yet, download the free EasyFind application from MacUpdate. It's much more intuitive and it can find nearly anything.
Not sure if I understood or answered your question, but I hope so.

In the Date & Time preference, how does my ProBook know where I am when I select the 'Set time zone automatically using current location' feature?
For the 'Set date and time automatically' feature, what difference does it make which of Apple Americas, Apple Asia or Apple Europe I select?
Thanx. Oneal

There's a feature called location services. I don't know much about it, but here's an article that discusses some ways the system can know where the computer is:
<http://rajputyh.
It matters which time zone you choose, if you opt not to have Location Services turned on (when its on, the Mac can set your time zone automatically)
You can turn Location Services on or off, at least in Lion, in Apple menu/System Preferences/

Hi all,
I have a second printer at my boyfriend's, an HP970cxi. I was able to use it normally until I updated to Mac OS X 10.6.8, while HP never updated the drivers for this OS version.
I thought I'd use it via the Parallels section of my Mac, which runs Windows 7 32 bit.
I could download the appropriate drivers straight from HP's website but the problem is... I must have told the computer to automatically connect any external drives to the Mac part and now I do not know how to undo that, at least momentarily, so that I can download and install the drivers in the Parallels part.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks in advance from sunny, hot and soccer-elated Italy.

Sometimes, not always, I am greeted by the following message from OSX (Lion) when awakening my MBPro from a sleep:
"This computer’s local hostname “‫Nick-Andriashs-MacBook-Pro-5.local‎‬â€
is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to
“‫Nick-Andriashs-MacBook-Pro-6.local‎‬â€."
Can anyone shed light on why these messages pop up? Why can't my local hostname just keep the same name?
Thanks for the help....
