It's actually called 1Password, not "One Password."

T-bird (3.1.20///os x.5.8)
Thunderbird/Prefs/security/passwords/saved passwords/show
passwords/yes (widen window)

Firefox appears to be basically the same. I'll have to log out of 2013
user and back in as 2012 user. Will check safari (don't really use) and
firefox/ten4fox for clues.

This bit " there is no match to verify the account" suggest to me that you are using the wrong email address to access your Yahoo account.

What address does your MacSupport emails go to?

Do you use a different email address to access each group?

I use the one main one, but all the others are listed on that one account.

I use 1Password to manage all my usernames and passwords, as it does make things much simpler.

We need to figure out what is the email address you use to access things first (Otto may be able to help here as I think he can see the list of subscribers) and then you should be able to go from there.

In fact, I use the password in the vault to generate my passwords. Since they are random, I have a hard time remembering them at first and so need to have them stores somewhere.

Brent's member profile says
"You are currently an email member of the Yahoo! Group macsupportcentral.

This means you are subscribed to the group's email list but do not have access
to the group's web features."

I've sent him the full message so he can set up access if he wishes.

Thanks Otto.

Christopher, I know which account I used to join all 3 lists, this one. Looks like Otto found the answer.

WooHoo! Always good to find the answer, even if it's in a different area that one believes! :)

My wife is having a problem with Pages, she has a MacMini, OS X 10.6.8. When she types some words and hit enter it will switch some of the characters abound. Like "Shealy" becomes "hSealy".

On my iMac running OSX 10.7.5, it does not happen.

I have changed Spellcheck to NOT correct while typing. Did not help.

Any ideas?

2011 Mini with Snow Leopard, Apple aluminum wireless keyboard (A1255).

Suddenly today the alphabetic keys stopped working -- with only this mini. The function keys work as do the modifiers (Cmd, Ctrl, etc.).

I tried removing it from the wireless keyboard pane in System Preferences and re-adding it. No joy.

If I remove the keyboard from the 2011 mini and add it to the 2006 mini, the keyboard works as it always has.

I am sure to remove the keyboard entry on the 2006 mini before adding it to the 2011 mini (so there is no such conflict).

The 2 minis are where they always have been (next to each other on the table); no new software was added; nothing has changed.

I repaired preferences on the 2011 mini; no joy.

Replaced the batteries -- no change.

Help?

Thanks,
Dave

OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
2011 Mini 2.7 GHz dual i7 / 16 GB / 250 GB & 750 GB

Both minis use 10.6.8, with all updates.

I've rebooted the 2011 mini, no joy.
