Is it straightforward to install Rosetta again? My Rosetta apps (Eudora & AppleWorks) are very sluggish. And yes, I've checked the "Recent Items" folders in AW. It's not that. It's also in Eudora.

Howdy.

I believe you should be able to insert your Snow Leopard install DVD,
find the Optional installs folder, and re-install Rosetta from that.

I'm not sure if it is easy to delete a possible preferences file for
Rosetta but you might try using the shareware application Preferential
Treatment and run it to see if it finds a Rosetta prefs .plist file
that you could delete.

Rosetta will not work when you are running from the 10.8 partition.

Looking for a very good file manager

is not as good as they say it is.

Lack of Right click support ad lack of detailed image previews quells
my interest so far.

What is a very good file manager for the Mac?

I need to move files to and from my cloud storage (SugarSync, DropBox,
GDrive, SkyDrive) and my Mac and BootCamp/parallels volumes and need a
superb file manager.

What do people like? I will start with free ones or free trials and if
I love it in a few weeks I will pay to upgrade my trial to pro if they
are that much better than free ones.

I'm not clear what you want. Don't the cloud storage services provide good
apps/interfaces themselves (I know that Dropbox does.)

Re: spoofing email address

Sun Aug 4, 2013 3:13 pm (PDT) . Posted by:

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for email client, POP format.
I too have several "identities" that I use for various groups. So I
actually don't need to spoof anyone, I create an "identity"; in my
Thunderbird account settings, such as this one (yahoo-1@sympatico.ca),
so that I can reply to yahoo groups, "freecycle-JR" as another, etc......
So all you would have to do is something similar. Perhaps with Apple
Mail there is something parallel; I don't use it.
But if you need to sync your email accounts from any or all machines,
including the phone, you would have to set that up as an IMAP account,
instead of POP so that any of the synced devices can reply and delete
any or all of the emails without duplication. My Thunderbird is
currently set to POP, but it can handle IMAP as well.

Why don't you just create the email account on your iPhone?

You have the e-ddress and password, you just need to set up the account on the iPhone, no spoofing needed.

more than 8,000 members and lots of email to manage. In Eudora (on my

it looks like the mail is going out from the mod team address. And
the reply-to address is the mod team address, so the member replies
go to the whole team, not just me.

It would be nice if other members of the mod team could do the same

one, our other lead moderator.

She uses an iPhone. And she has just replaced her Windows machine
with some flavour of iMac (she hasn't yet answered my question about

about all I know so far.

Would it be possible/easy for her to spoof the mod team email address?

I'm hoping it will be simple, but maybe not that simple.

Our Freecycle mod address doesn't have a password. Mail to our mod
address is forwarded by freecycle.org to the email address of record
for each of the group's moderators.

Re: Replacing my Comcast internet/voice access point, moving up to 8

Sun Aug 4, 2013 3:27 pm (PDT) . Posted by:

"N.A. Nada"

Jim, I have no clue as to what you are using to read the "Transmission Rate" or what a rate or 5 represents. I take it 5 is slow.

If both you and your wife's computers slow at the same time, it suggests it might be your provider, not the equipment. Comcast's speeds some times "draws wind".

UNTIL you described the location of your AEBS. Move it away from the electro-magnetic interference of all those power bricks, cables, Ethernet switches, and surge protectors. Interference is not on or off, it adds up. And if it is not the electro-magnetic interference, it could just be the accumulation of metal. Think Faraday cage. Move the AEBS a couple of feet from the rat's nest of wires and such. If there is one spot in the house where you frequently encounter slow speeds, then move the AEBS so you have a "clear" shot from the AEBS to that spot. With your x-ray vision, check for wires, plumbing & cast iron drain pipes, large metal objects like tubs, refrigs and breaker panels, and thick wood like all the studs going almost parallel to a hallway.

If the slow downs happen in randomly moving locations, then it is Comcast. And there ain't much you can do about it other than try a different box. At different times of day, cable gets busy and speeds slow down. But a transmission rate of 5 sounds like a near dead stop, looking at my current rate or 130.

You haven't figured out what Comcast gave you yet?!? I take it because you have it buried under the desk in a rat's nest. You should have started there. Do you remember if it has more than one Ethernet port, or just look it up on the internet by brand and model number.

If moving to the desk with your portable device, does not speed up the WiFi speed, but plugging in the Ethernet does, then it does sound like it is the WiFi. But if your AEBS is having problems with WIFI speeds there are two likely causes. One interference from the rat's nest, and two the AEBS is dying.

For comparison, under my desk is a rat's nest. I try to keep it neat, but there are lots of wires. Also there are lots of wires and devices on my desk and above and along side my desk. My AEBS and cable "modem" are on the desk. I get decent signal strength everywhere except on my lounger on my patio, sometimes no WiFi signal. If I move my iPhone a foot to the side it gets a good signal 3-4 bars. Hmmm? Ok, using my x-ray visions, I see the problem I'm trying to go through about 12 2x4 studs and about 2 feet of dry wall. I'm about 5-10 degrees off of going parallel to the wall.

As to "RSSI" and "MS Index", I haven't a clue, but you could do a quick web search if your interested. That is usually quite enlightening. So that is what RSSI and MCS Index mean. It is radio transmission garbledegook that you and I don't need to understand. In other words at our knowledge levels, TMI. It is there for the experts, after the basics are covered. KISS< Keep It Simple, Sam. Fix the easy and cheap things first, don't make it complicated.

Oh! That is where the "Transmission Rate" is coming from.

Yeap, as I thought contortions to get to the Comcast box. Don't forget the flashlight and note pad and pen, or camera. Bring a cable to move the AEBS away from the rat's nest. A dollar to a donut, that solves the problem.

But that will not help if you are in a situation where the node that you are on is overloaded with users. You would see faster speeds at times of low usage, but probably still see slowdowns at times of peak usage.

Thanks for your suggestions. In my case, I know that when it's connected to my LAN by Ethernet, throughput between my laptop and the internet is not impaired). I've also discovered that when my "Transmission Rate" drops to 5, my wife's MacBook Pro (1 year older, also running the current OS 10.8.4, placed immediately next to my own laptop, reports the same transmission rate.

I ALSO know that if I carry my laptop upstairs to where my Airport Extreme Base Station and Comcast cable modem rest behind my desk in a dense array of power bricks, cables, Ethernet switches, and surge protectors, the transmission rate remains at 5, but normal throughput is restored virtually instantly by plugging it into Ethernet.

Those datapoints each suggest to me that it's a WiFi issue and that the AEB, not the Comcast box, is the culprit.

My next tasks are to find out whether my Comcast box is "just" a cable modem or a device with routing capabilities. I don't think rebooting the AE Base Station will clarify the situation, because I've done that using the Airport utility, and THAT usually makes things better, at least temporarily. One thing I WILL try, however, is working in my upstairs office with the laptop on WiFi but located within a few feet of the AE Base Station to see if the slowdown in "Transmission Rate" just doesn't happen when the WiFi access point and client device are close to each other.

By the way, do you (or any other readers of this thread) know what I should learn from the "RSSI" and "MS Index" reported when I <option-click>; on the "Airport" Menubar Icon mean?

I'll also contort myself to visit that nest of vipers behind my desk to figure out exactly what kind of box Comcast has provided me. I've not jumped on their "offer" to upgrade it because there's a fee involved to get a device with battery backup (essential because they also provide me voice telephony services). On the other hand, if I could eliminate any possibility of a "double-NAT" situation by getting a device that is NOT a router (assuming what I have now IS and has DNS routing info configured into it), I could probably eliminate one potential cause of network issues, so that remains a possible solution.

Thanks again,
Jim Robertson

192.168.x.y is a non routable address on the internet. It's reserved for private networks, i.e. on your side of a modem/router. 192.168.1.1 used to be the default on small routers. I don't know whether its Motorola or my ISP [Hawaiian Tel] but my DSL router is at 192.168.200.1 and I can't change it. Can't change the administrator name either but that's a different story.

You can get the modem IP address in System Preferences/Network then Advanced and TCP/IP.

They are not going to call you, just use it to send you verification for authentication. And it will keep your account from getting hacked again.

What does this have to do with a landline any way, it is for a single text message, as needed.

I looked at that when I was replacing my password. It requires giving my phone number which I am loath to do. Our landline phone now is almost useless and we seldom answer it.

likely will be less dependent on gmail and similar mail addresses.

google has a double check for gaining access. this requires giving them your phone number and then they telephone a code which you then have to enter. I am not doing that.

I thought I had sent that post to another forum. Sorry. I can not use my gmail e mail address in this group now. yahoo blocks me although the gmail address is viable.

Why are you shifting the focus from "business offices" to "Windows PC users in Europe"? Your argument, that we won't find any serious business offices that use NWP, is completely irrelevant for our discussion. NWP was never intended to be business software.

You say, the European business world is not actively looking for a substitute for a Windows PC. Could you back that up with some evidence?

The topic of Nisus as a possible Word substitute has come up many times on business-oriented Mac discussion lists that I'm on. It's been tried and rejected each time. (...) wishing doesn't put Nisus in the same class as MS Word, or make it a reasonable substitute for business users.

This is a distorted misrepresentation of what I said. You lay out an argument and attribute it to my position. Then you refute it. This is violation of rules of rational argumentation. I never advocated the position you seem to be trying to attribute to me.

I said:

On July 30:
"NWP is for people who are obsessed with producing, editing and reading text."

On July 30:
"Nisus Writer Pro (I'm not talking about Nisus Writer Express) is the best choice for people who frequently need to edit, write and read text quickly, and have fun when they are doing it."

On August 1:
"If people need to create and exchange business papers with charts, impressive layouts with multicolored tables, frames and whatnots, I recommend MS Word. (…) If people need exact conversion, they should have MS Word for the Mac."

I asked you to give us a list of features that an attorney needs. You chose to ignore the question. I asked you also, what it is exactly, that you want from a document comparison, that NWP can't do. You chose to ignore that question too. It's evident, you are not interested in a serious comparison.

Contrary to you, I don't rely on what I "hear". I work with the software intensively before I form a judgment regarding its strengths and weaknesses. Pages has no macros, no multiple Glossaries (like NWP) and not the superb Find and Replace feature NWP has, and that alone is enough for me to reject it as a serious *writing* tool. It's a nice tool if your primary interest leans towards layout and presentation. So, calling it the "number two word processor for the Macintosh" can only be justified if you are referring to sales numbers.
