I read these on the iPhone using Mail for iOS.

"Long Headers" in Mail (on Mac) is grayed out.

Yes, I know there was no Internet then. That's what makes mine totally bizarre. I haven't had one recently, though...

Are you sure it wasn't 1969?

"The Dawn of Time" in Unix-based systems was midnight at the start of 1 January, 1970, Zulu time.

I have an iPhone 3Gs (iOS 6.xx) and iPod Touch (first gen, iOS 4.xx).

How can I copy the Address Book from the iPhone (or the Mac used to sync it) to the iPod?

Thanks,
Dave

Strange, only the green dot works for me.

I run Mail version 4.6 on OSX 10.6.8.

Neither the keystroke shortcut nor the Mail > View > Enter Full Screen exists for me.

Mail Help is no help here.

This is likely because true Full Scree Mode doesn't exist in 10.6.8 in the same sense as 10.7 and 10.8

Further, if you are truly IN Full Screen Mode in 10.8, there *is* no green dot available. That is for maximizing the window *within* the screen, not going into Full Screen Mode.

In Mail in 10.8, there is an icon in the upper right corner of the main window -- 2 opposed short arrows pointing outward towards the corner -- that triggers Full Screen Mode.

And <Escape> gets me out of it, as well as <Command><Control><f>

Agreed. Why is there no iBooks for the Mac??? It beggars belief. (I assume
iBooks Author won't open purchased books?)

Yes that is the program that I have and used. Yesterday it was freezing my computer. I reinstalled it.

don't have a DRM protected book to test it. Finds book and does it job automatically.

I just created mirrored RAID via DIsk Utility (OS 10.6.8) and was given a choice of block sizes. IMO with these giant drives i/o speed is more important than wasted space. I do lots of images ranging from 20Kb to several megs. But the OS is constantly creating numerous small files in logs, caches etc. I used the default with the RAID. If using it only for video data, I'd probably have picked the largest block size 256kb IIRC.

You can control block size, though maybe not with Disk Utility. These are simply defaults that have been chosen as performance trade-offs by Apple, though 4k/8k is pretty routine across the modern formats and applications. The circumstances where an alternate block size would be meaningful are pretty unusual. There are very few applications these days which would involve massive numbers of sub-8k files, much less sub-4k. It was more common for performance addicts to increase the block size to 32k or even 128k to enhance performance on drives dedicated to large files, such as photos and video, but these days, there are far better methods for increasing speed, especially RAID arrays. Frankly, I haven't seen discussions of block size for quite a while.

Cheers,
