After Googling for an hour (and rebooting my computer a couple of times) I'm turning to you guys for assistance.
When I want to send a mail link to a something opened in Safari, I am now getting redirected to Internet Explorer in my PARALLELS program. Can someone tell me how to correct this? I might add that Safari has been running very sluggish of late.
I'm running Mountain Lion.
Much thanks in advance,
Paul

Doris,
That's apparently normal - as soon as I deleted that one notification, the
menu item grayed out. Looks like it's only enabled when you have
notifications pending.

I have been getting those files a couple times a month for quite some time. Big or small file doesn't matter. Due to high electric rates I Shut Down frequently and accidentally found that the files go away on a reboot.
Just figured out where they come from. When saving Excel first creates a backup file with that funny name. It is usually on the desktop under the open Excel spreadsheet so you don't normally see it. Occasionally it gets put on a viewable portion of the desktop. Its normally there for under a second. When Excel finishes the save the funny file should be deleted.
Some applications I worked on in the dark ages, before Woz & Jobs started writing code, used this technique.

p.s. I have an Excel file with 20 columns & 3700 rows. I want to get rid of MS-Office and move to iWork. Numbers opens small Excel files fine but on that big one the rough translation of the error message is "You've got to be kidding!"

20 x 3700 isn't much by spreadsheet standards. Are you sure the issue isn't
something else, e.g. something that can't be converted?

In reading mail, I find that I am unable to delete. I get a message that says "The IMAP command 'UID COPY' (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox 'INBOX' with server error. UID COPY failed - Destination mailbox is examined as read-only."
This appears to be a problem in only one of my 6 email accounts, a Yahoo account, but the other Yahoo accounts aren't affected.
It has to be a simple thing. So I looked in Help to see how to delete, but it wasn't one of the choices.
Thanks to the person who told me how to send to Spam -- I don't have a stop sign, though, just an upside-down thumb. But it works.

Aw, so all you wanted to do was to move the spam to your junk folder, and you found the "Mark this message as Junk" icon.
Too bad the resolution wasn't shared with the group so others can learn from it.

I do searches on CraigsList and subscribe to these via RSS.
CL allows the use of boolean OR character "|", but if I use this in a search, Safari gives me a page full of code. If I use that same search and subscribe via RSS, Firefox brings the subscription into Mail (version 4.6 which has RSS support) as you'd expect.
If I create searches without the use of the "|" character Safari brings the subscription to Mail as expected.
Why is Safari failing where Firefox is succeeding?
Thanks,
Dave

Howdy.
Several times in the past two weeks I have attempted to answer my
iPhone 5 only to discover that the first screen, the Slide to Unlock
screen, has zoomed in and I'm unable to answer the phone.
I usually carry the phone in a pants pocket.
Something is causing the gigantic zoom in to happen and it has happened
about 4 times in the past two weeks.
When it happens the info on the screen is enormously enlarged or zoomed
in.
The only solution I've found is to power off the iPhone and power it
back on. Of course, by then I've missed the call.
Any ideas on what is causing this?
Solutions? Prevent it from happening?

Just suggestions:-
A 3-finger double-tap toggles zoom.
But the screen would be inactive in your pocket anyway, unless you forget
to press the Sleep button first, so how did the zoom happen?

Zoom can also be turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility>;Zoom. If Zoom is on there, it will be toggled.

Howdy.
That was the problem.
And it's odd that I don't remember turning that feature on.
How it gets turned on when answering the phone I don't know.
Back to normal now.
Thanks.

Good point, Otto.
So you agree it has nothing to do with permissions or her disk? It is related to the WiFi base unit.

I'll bet you a dollar to a donut, that the 2001 iBook can not recognize all of a 2 TB hard drive.
(That phrase made more sense when a donut cost 8 cents.)
