Thanks so much for your response Barry. I had checked the preferences on Safari and MacMail and it was just as you said. I put Google Chrome back and all reverted back to Google being the default. I was then able to go in and change the preferences and it worked!

The lawyers over on the MILO and Maclaw lists seem to love it.

I like it sort of, but it's complicated. I far prefer Evernote.

Many users love it. I suspect that your opinion of it will depend on
what you are expecting. They have a free 30-day demo, so you're
probably the best person to determine if it is or is not what you
are hoping for:
http://www.circusponies.com/

Please let us know what you think of it after you have tried it.

You should know that there are a couple of free alternatives to
Circus Ponies Notebook that are surprisingly good:

Growly Notes (FREE)
http://growlybird.com/GrowlyBird/Notes.html
I'm told that Growly Notes is similar to the popular program OneNote for
Windows. When you first open Growly Notes, the interface is quite
garish, but there is a very Mac-like optional "professional
interface" that you
can switch to.

Notational Velocity (FREE)
http://notational.net/
(has the big advantage of being able to synchronize different
computers or with iOS via dropbox)

web page video auto play

Is there a way to keep videos from automatically playing when I go to some web pages? I find it quite annoying, especially if my volume is up.

One web site that I now try to avoid would have three videos playing at the same time.

TIA,

Bobby

I don't have that problem at all. Could you please share the URL's of the sites that are doing this?
What browser are you using?

I use "Click to Flash". Basically, it doesn't play any Flash videos until you click on the icon.

Surely SOMEONE must know the answers to these pretty basic (but pretty important) questions. if the response is RTFM, with a pointer to where I can do that, that's all I need. I just don't want to be caught testing my boot drive clone and messing up my "cloudy" mail, calendar, and contacts databases, or my Time Machine backup, either.

Thanks in advance,

If Time Machine (in System Preferences) was turned ON when the clone was written, then it will be turned ON when you boot from the clone. As it happens, I just did exactly this -- updated one of my clones, then booted from it. The first thing I did was open System Preferences and turn Time Machine OFF.

Yes.

I don't think so.
I do a very limited amount of things when booted from a clone, but one of them is go ahead and read and compose mail messages as usual. I use Mail.app and iCloud as a mailserver, set up as IMAP, so what I do from the clone boot is automatically sync'd with iCloud, and when I boot from the original again, those changes are sync'd right back to the drive again.

Jim,

I admit I don't have a definitive answer....but....if you have an EXACT clone, it should have all the same settings, preferences, login items, Time Machine settings, etc. So, I'd expect the EXACT clone to boot the same as your normal boot drive.

Having said that, I agree, this is important stuff and I like to be certain when it comes to my backup. Maybe somebody else has an ironclad answer.

As recommended in the "Take Control of…" book about Mac backups, I have my Time Machine Preferences set to exclude the disk "JSR Boot Clone" from Time Machine backups routinely. I'm thinking I've configured that correctly so that I won't be backing up my clone to my Time Machine backup disk if I boot from the clone just to test it.

My strategy with the clone (which I create very early in the am, one night per week) is to have something on a separate physical disk that could rescue me from a total meltdown. Time machine is what I use on an hour to hour basis to protect me from things I throw away because of "user error" (although I learned months ago that if something gets tossed before it's been in the Time Machine backup at least 24 hours it may get tossed from Time Machine as well when Time Machine does it's 24 hour cleanup.

And, your experience with what happens with iCloud, Mail, etc. when you boot from the Clone is very reassuring.

Thanks for answering,
Jim Robertson

Just a thought, but could you maybe be looking on your phone at the
*reminder* for the birthdays, and not the birthdays themselves, and you
have it set to send you a reminder 24hours before hand ... ?
