Howdy.

I used to own/use Eudora. IIRC the "side drawer" opening left or right
depends on the position of the main window on screen.

It opens to the side where it senses it has enough room to open.
Moving the main window left or right should impact where fit opens.

Perfectly right Dan,

And as I use it on the RHS of my MacBook Pro, 10.6.8, with an
external monitor on the RHS of that . . . . . It's a case of moving
the - lets say - In Box to the RHS of the external, opening the
Window, asking the Drawer to appear and Bingo! Many years ago I
remember that there was/is a method of telling Eudora to permanently
open on the desired side. Grey cells fading at too fast a rate :) -
Someone may remember . . . .

Cheers,

James

Howdy.

there may be a command to tell Eudora which side to open the drawer.

Eudora was customizable in many ways and one way was to open a message,
type in a command, then close the message.

I used to have a list of these commands somewhere but don't know where
it would be at this point.

I wish I could still use Eudora (I even like Eudora Welty's short
stories about Mississippi) but it was abandoned by Qualcomm for very
poor reasons.

I use GyazMail because it has some of the capabilities of Eudora but
unfortunately no program available today can match Eudora for
features.

Eudora OSE 1.0 is available for OS X and it works in Mountain Lion (OS X
10.8). The web site claims it won't work past OS X 10.6.x, but it does work
in 10.8. It will fail Apple's sandboxing, so you have to open up the
Security & Privacy pref pane to allow apps downloaded from "Anywhere". Once
you execute Eudora one time, you can lockdown the Security & Privacy apps
pref.

I have the same model and have had 4GB's of ram go bad on me in the last 4 mos. Check to make sure you have all the ram you originally installed showing in either MenuMeters or System Profiler as in one instance, I noticed I was short one GB in MenuMeters and the other instance I came home to a blinking power LED that indicated I had bad ram.
In the latter case you would really notice as the machine will not work till the bad ram pair is removed. Right now I'm "limping along" with 6GB of ram as well. The boot drive is a 500GB SSD hybrid which speeds things up and a non-hybrid ssd would probably help even more. My machine is not having the slowness issues yours is running CS5, Office, Keynote, Lightroom, etc.
Interestingly enough, I was able to run the machine, when testing to find the bad dimm, with 1 good 1GB dimm and 1 bad 1GB dimm. System profiler showed I had 1GB installed!
When I'm running with less than my preferred 8GB of ram, things do slow down but never to the extent of a bouncing icon in the dock. CS5 starts up in less than 8 secs.

Here in Bangkok today I went to a huge computer fair (http://www.commart.co.th/) and found no ram for this machine and I even brought a bad dimm with me to show which one I needed. Granted it's for an '08 machine, but I was somewhat disappointed.

I then stopped by iStudio which sells exclusively Apple stuff, and found that my dimm would have to be special ordered. Screw that!
While there I looked into some portable external drives for my wife. Thunderbolt drives like the Lacie Rugged is substantially more money than USB 3.0 drives of the same 1TB size by Western Digital which was $93 with a free travel case at the fair. Lacie being a US model, (although the drives are probably made here in Thailand), was over $325 which isn't gonna happen! iStudio sells at retail with very little if anything in the way of sale prices.

Since you're probably in the US, one external case I can recommend is the IcyDock brand and their easy to use RAID 2 drive enclosures. tinyurl.com/d9rx3oy Mine has been working with no issues for over a year with 2 1TB drives. If you don't want a RAID setup, then a multiple drive enclosure may be a good answer if you can't get the speed issue of your MacPro improved. I've heard on this list that Thunderbolt connections are noticeably faster.
Good luck and hope you can bring your MacPro back to life.

I have no idea why, and Activity Monitor doesn't suggest the reason why, it's gradually become slower (simple apps bounce a half-dozen times before launching, etc.) over the years. None of the drives is close to full; I don't have page-outs anywhere close to the number of page-ins, even after many days between boots; my system and installed software are all up to date.

I have no idea whether I should use eSata, USB3, or whether there's any sense in considering a Thunderbolt interface. My understanding of the last choice is that it makes sense only if the drive mechanism itself has a Thunderbolt interface, but I'm not certain even of that. The drives are currently used for twice-weekly SuperDuper cloning, my Time Machine backup, my Fusion VM files (including scheduled snapshots), and my iPhoto library.

"About this Mac" still shows all 6 GB available, as does Activity Monitor. The computer has had multiple drives fail over the years; I think they've mostly been in one SATA slot, but most of them were Seagate drives in a family that had lots of problems.

I don't have any need for a RAID; all my current internal drives have dedicated purposes; I'm hoping that if I end up with one of the new iMacs I'll be able to find an external case that will hold 4 drives and communicate with the iMac via one cable. Is that likely?

Thanks so much for your suggestion.

Well there goes a simple cure! :)

The Icy Dock brand does have multiple drive options that don't include RAID, BUT, I didn't see any Thunderbolt connections offered for that brand. I would assume that there are other multi-drive cases made by other manufacturers that do have Thunderbolt.

I wonder if a trip to an Apple store might help diagnose your issue? With multiple drive failures I might wonder what was up. Same-same as in my RAM failures causing me to wonder why, but at this point and in this country my options are limited and buying more ram is the best I can do. I plan to follow a poster's advice on the list to get more ram than I had to begin with instead of
Machines slowing down is a common ailment so besides trekking off w/a 50lb machine, perhaps there is a Utility or drive or something that will get you back to like-new performance.

Greetings! My son is experiencing a bizarre redirect while browsing in Safari. He is redirected to a badoink site which is really a porn site. It looks more like the older App store (prior to iOS 6), so he brought the issue to me. I searched online at found a discussion about this on MacRumors but not solution. The first post appeared back in July and the latest post was November 10 with no solutions. I was hoping someone here knew about it and could tell me what to do. So far, people have cleared caches, history, reset their devices, wiped everything clean, etc. Still no resolutions. Help?!

Try clearing all of your Flash cookies and see if it helps. (This cannot be done from within Safari as it can with regular cookies).

Delete everything in these two folders:

- In the Finder
Option-click the Go menu
Your ~/Library will appear in the menu; choose it
Trash all of the files in the folder at:
PreferencesMacromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects

- In the Finder
Option-click the Go menu
Your ~/Library will appear in the menu; choose it
Trash all of the files in the folder at:
/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys

I set up a gmail account on another computer as it uses IMAP which I was told was necessary in order to do this however if I delete a message from my iPad it remains on the laptop. What is needed to be able to delete the message from both at the same time.

Are the accounts on both machines setup as IMAP?

Have you set your GMail account with IMAP enabled?

Is your INBOX set to [GMail]?

GMail does not really appear to play well with most email clients.

Howdy.

You need twins to simultaneously press the delete button at the same
time on both devices.

Uhhhhh, sorry about that. Couldn't resist.

I think you are having a sort of conceptual problem with what an IMAP
account is intended to do.

An IMAP account is essentially designed to NOT delete messages after
they have been downloaded to your local client email program on your
own computer.

This is necessary so both computers can see the same message.

To delete the message you need to delete it from the IMAP account and
that email server computer where you mail account is.

When you check into this be sure to also look for some of the options
for an IMAP account. For example, you might find an option to remove
messages from the IMAP online mail account after a specified number of
days (maybe 30 days, for example).

Be sure to take a look at the Mail, Contacts, Calendars item in your
iOS Settings. Then look at your mail account and tap the right hand
arrow. Then look at the Advanced section > Mail and tap that right
arrow. Then at bottom tap the Advanced command.

You will see some options for what to do with messages including a
Remove option for Never, One day, One week, and After One month.

A POP mail account was originally intended to just download messages
from the POP mail account server computer and then erase them on that
mail server.

However, more recently there has been a bit of a merging of the
functionality of POP type accounts and IMAP accounts as features are
added to both types.

Good luck

I've been recommending CyberPower units as they seem to be the best value on the market right now, and I've had excellent success with them. Here is one that is an exceptional deal (the fact that it looks really cool, and that it looks even cooler in person, doesn't hurt!):

CyberPower 1000AVR ($108 with free shipping)
http://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP1000AVRLCD-9-Outlet-Intelligent-1000VA/dp/B000QZ3UG0
or

(Note that this UPS's battery is user replaceable. A big plus.)
