Howdy.
Yahoo seems to be having problems with messages. I'm not sure
what the problem is. We'll try to find out.
I'm posting this while logged in to the group via a web browser
rather than via email so I hope it gets posted.

It's been sporadic posting for three days now for me. I post and it posts several hours later, or it posts the next day, or it never posts.

How do I edit the list of previous contacts (in or out) that is
stored in "Mail". If I begin to type in an address Mail throws
up suggestions but I find that my computer now holds many
hundreds of these most of which I don't need or want because they
result from a single email exchange sometime in the past.
I am not talking about my address book, these must be stored
somewhere else for "Mail" to make the suggestions. I would like
to do some weeding of this overgrown list.

Howdy.
In Mac OS X 10.2 and higher,
1. Launch Mail
2. Click the Window menu
3. Choose Address History or Previous Recipients.
4. Select the address or addresses to remove, then click Remove from
History.
I think you can also do this in some versions of Mail by doing a right
click on a recipient's name that is in the To field in a message but
this is basically for single previous addresses.

Howdy. I'm copy/pasting some responses that seem to have gotten lost
in the Yahoo world.
This is a weird issue in Pages and a significant feature that is
missing or doesn't work.
Fortunately there are multiple work arounds for changing case and other
editing functions.
Try WordService first and see what you think of it.
WordService
This a a great free Service utility.
Download from: <https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10523/wordservice>
and visit the maker's web site also.
WordService provides 37 editing functions such as changing case,
sentence case, Initial caps, straight and smart quotes, removing line
endings and beginnings and attachments and links , sorting lines,
various date and time formats, paths, and more.
WordService works with a variety of Macintosh programs as a Service
including TextEdit, Pages, Mail, Stickies, Safari, and more.
After downloading, decompress the downloaded file and add the utility
within named
WordService.service
to your User Account/Library/Services folder.
Then restart your Mac or log out of your user account and log back in.
You may need to check something and turn on some of the 37 features by
checking on the check boxes in
System Preferences >Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts tab, then select
Services in left column.
Then scroll through the items in the right window pane and check on
some or all of the new Services added by WordService.
The reason for this is that some of these services may have shortcut
commands that conflict with other shortcut commands. You may need to
experiment with changing the shortcut if you use one that you need that
conflicts.
Then open Pages, open a document with text, select some text, choose
the Pages menu and pick Services and you should see the WordService
items you checked to turn on in Keyboard Shortcuts.
Same Services will work in many applications including the GyazMail
email program I'm using to write this message.
Good luck.

Howdy. Repeated response
I think there are some significant new things in the iPhone 5S.
64-bit A7 processor AND 64-bit OS 7 lay the groundwork for use of more
than 4 GB of RAM in the future. In turn this will mean faster apps and
apps that can do a lot more.
Just as the iPhone 5 model really improved the camera the 5S takes it
farther. This is important because iPhones are now the more frequently
used camera in the world or very close to that mark. A better camera
in low and mixed lighting conditions is a good thing.
The Fingerprint sensor does more than just unlock the phone. It also
lets the owner authenticate App Store and iTunes purchases with a touch
instead of typing in passwords. I hope it also means a major reduction
in stolen iPhones. On the Washington, D.C. regional Metro subway
system the iPhone is the most frequently stolen thing.
I'm looking forward to trying the new feature of iOS 7 and have read
several long reviews with video demos of it. The new Control Center
looks good.
With the two new phones, Apple stock dropped more than 5% today because
the market is always disappointed when Apple doesn't announce a new
magic ray gun, or a beam-me-up-Scotty transporter.

Howdy. Another repeated response
According to several articles on the technology of the Fingerprint
Touch ID technology the iPhone 5S does not store an image of the
fingerprint but rather stores a mathematical set of coordinates for the
"ridges and valleys" and other aspects of fingerprint ID technology.
According to Apple the data for a fingerprint is stored only on the
iPhone 5S and not on an Apple server or on iCloud.
Here's an article on the topic that "touches" on other efforts to make
fingerprint ID work.

The Fingerprint sensor is just a gimmick, adds a minor efficiency

Howdy. Again a repeated response
We've seen several posts on the new iPhone 5S A7 64-bit chip.
There is another chip in the new iPhone 5S that should be investigated.
The M7 chip (Motion 7 chip) is described as:
"Apple describes the M7 as a sidekick to the A7 chip. It's there to
lighten the workload of the A7 by measuring the motion data from the
accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. It continuously measures motion
data and grabs this information without relying on the A7 chip. "
One of the benefits of this M7 chip is that it is a low power consumer
and uses a lot less battery juice than the A7 chip.
This could mean better battery life for the iPhone 5S as developers
releases more apps that use the several motion sensors without having
to use the A7 chip. Several articles on this topic have talked about a
new generation of sports, exercise, off road, and gymnastic apps that
should be forthcoming.

Yes, you can.
However, you do it via Wi-Fi/Airport, rather than via Bluetooth. See:
http://is.gd/
Of course, if you already have a wireless router set up in your house/office, you just connect to that via Wi-Fi.
