Those of us who have an iPhone and/or an iPad along with their Macs will
have a hard time recommending an alternative since Apple's software is
nicely synced with iCloud now.
That's a monster argument for those who want to minimize risks of losing
data.

Address Book and iCal are extremely competent, and they are
essentially free, having come with your Mac. Most Mac users use
them, and are very happy with them.
The next most popular PIM is Entourage/Outlook:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ outlook
which at this point only comes with Microsoft Office.
There were other popular choices in the past, but AB/IC killed them.
Now Contact/UpToDate is gone. ACT for the Mac is gone. InTouch still
exists, but it's companion, DateView, was never updated for OS X.
Attorneys use integrated law office management programs, or at the
minimum general office management programs. These are overkill for
home use.

I don't use FireFox, but I'll bet:
1. You don't have problems with cut/copy/paste in your favorite word processor.
2. You don't have problems with cut/copy/paste when reading and replying to PLAIN TEXT email in your email client (Yahoo Forum emails and another beast entirely).
3. You don't have problems copying text or items in the Finder.
In other words, I'll bet its a FireFox thing.
Microsoft Outlook for Windows causes similar problems for many people, because there's an option to display text in a format that's only readable by Windows Outlook or Outlook Express clients. So, the unsuspecting Windows user sends mail to people who use other email programs or other operating systems and all they see is a file named "win mail.dat" (or something similar).
It's actually pretty remarkable that so many programs do work so well together, because every software publisher that has any ounce of creativity is likely to "tweak" standards a bit to make things look better in his program.

Exactly what I thought as I read the responses to the OP's concerns, Dan. Additionally, no subsequent poster addressed the problem as had been posed.

I too run 10.6.8 and I too have experienced problems of functioning, although not in the same manner as you have, Neelie.
Some wonkiness has crept into my OS. It has been going on for the better part of a year. I can not, for example, move text around in Mail anymore without other text being jumbled or displaced. There have been other Mail malfunctionings.
Refer below to a response to my then (and still) concern about Mail wonk.
I think that your problem (as with my problem) is an OS problem. Perhaps my jump from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 precipitated something. I'm looking forward to going Lion (10.7) soon to rectify the minor functioning concerns that have crept in.
The irony is that I have been hesitant to move up to Lion from Snow Leopard because of perceived problems, yet what negatives I've heard probably will not personally be relevant and furthermore, I have actually been experiencing problems with my current OS.
The following is from my 'upgrade wonkiness' thread. Oneal

Howdy.
I don't usually use Firefox but just tried to duplicate you copy/paste
problem and could not.
Try the Safe Disk boot and then a couple of other things that might pin
down the problem to something more specific.
1. Try using a different word or text program. I often use Tex-Edit
Plus.
If copy/paste works OK with Tex-Edit Plus, then that might show that
the problem is with Apple's TextEdit.
2. Perhaps check in TextEdit Preferences to see if something got
checked that shouldn't be checked. There is also a "Restore All
Defaults" button in both New Document and Open and Save tabs in
TextEdit that you could try.
3. Try a different web browser. If the copy/paste problem goes away
when using Safari, then perhaps that points to Firefox as the culprit.
You could save your Firefox bookmarks as an export file, then delete
EVERYTHING from Firefox, then reinstall a current version and re-import
bookmarks.

Neelie,
I test this myself and found (as someone else indicated) that it seems to depend on the web sites. Some sites I could copy easilly from either Firefox or Safari. Other sites, seemed to permit copying from only one or the other. So I suspect that it's changes on the sites themselves, not on your system.

Odd Safari issue...
Posted by: "Guy Kudlemyer" gwkuddles@comcast.net truckersroost
Fri Jan 6, 2012 7:16 am (PST)
Hello experts:
PPC Mac Mini
10.4.11
Every time I try to print a coupon for a local favorite restaurant, I get
the following dialog box:
SLOW SCRIPT Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the
webpage ³Coupon Crusaders²
(http://www.couponcrusaders.com/ ). Do you want to stopDefault.aspx? tab=3
running the script, or let it continue?
No matter how many times I push CONTINUE, I keep getting the same dialog.
This has never been an issue before, as I¹ve printed dozens of coupons from
this restaurant.
What does it mean? How do I remedy it?
Thanks,
Guy

Oh this brings back bad, old memories … , I got this (Java?) message frequently when I had PPC and OS 10.4.11. It went away when I updated. I can't say whether it is PPC, 10.4.11 or Safari related because all three components have changed by me now (Intel, 10.6.8 and the latest version of Safari).

are suddenly not downloadable as PDF's any more when viewed in Safari
or Firefox. Chase recently updated its website and their tech
support reports people having trouble, but no fix is offered.

Rob,
I think your issue is something slightly different. Do you happen by any chance to have Adobe Acrobat or Reader installed. I think there is a conflict with those programs in Safari. If you remove them from your Internet Plug-ins and restart, I think you should have no more problems viewing PDFs.
At least this was the case when I finally got told the solution about six months back.
I've also had the same problem as the OP but since I upgraded to a new Mac Mini running Lion I haven't noticed it. I was running a G5 Tower running Tiger and then Leopard when I was having the OPs problems.

Interesting. I can still print Chase statements as PDFs. Are you talking about something else, other than opening a statement and printing it as a PDF?

No...I go to the statement page like I always did. When I hover over
the link, the file doesn't show as a PDF in the status bar. Also,
when I hold down the Control key, it doesn't offer the choice to
"Download file". And printing option only offers "print the largest
frame."
Oddly, it only happens on the Chase site. Any other site links work
as they should.

Re: "Compatible" Printer Cartridges
Posted by: "Jurgen Richter" yahoo-1@sympatico.ca epsongroups
Fri Jan 6, 2012 8:39 am (PST)
Your mileage and success will vary. Glad you got lucky with your conversion.
I'm on several printer lists, and especially follow the Epson lists and
have for almost a decade, as I own several. The queries coming to the
Epson related ones are frequently asking how to clean the heads which do
not get replaced with the ink cartridges, unlike others like some of the
Canon printers that have heads built into the cartridges that get
replaced with each new batch of ink. It is these Epsons that have a
chemical compatibility problem with non-OEM inks, though some less
problematic than others. Even today on one list another poster was
recommended to print large purge patterns to clear the printer heads and
lines before making the switch. Other brands of printers may not be so
sensitive. And some printer cartridges are not easily refillable.
The printer manufacturers will likely never make any recommendations on
how to switch inks to another brand, as use of OEM inks is their bread
and butter in this business. The several Epson manuals I have never made
mention of it. They barely even suggest how to clean out printers with
clogged heads due to lack of use. Why else would Art Entlich's cleaning
manual be so popular on the various printer lists?
Why else would "compatible" ink vendors also sell so-called "cleaning
cartridges"? and provide information on how to prepare your printer for
making the switch?
Go back and look at any of the lists postings that also cover how to
switch from cartridge to continuous inks systems using non-OEM inks...
you'll find plenty of such recommendations there. I wouldn't make this
up myself.

I'm on about a dozen Macintosh discussion lists, and not only have I
not heard of such a "consensus", but I've never before heard such a
thing. At least not with respect to switching from OEM cartridges to
"compatible" cartridges.
It also hasn't been my experience, and I've been using multiple
brands of compatible ink cartridges in multiple printers for many years.

In general, Epson inkjet printers have by far the largest problems
with clogging heads, irrespective of anything else. That's why I
generally don't recommend them. And that's too bad, because, at
least their high end printers give the best output, which is very
important if you are a graphic professional. Unfortunately Epson
simply has a bad design for their heads. It has little or nothing to
do with changing ink cartridges. Epson also likes to chip their
cartridges so you can't use third party inks. Another reason to
avoid their products.
Recent Canon inkjet printers, at least the better ones, tend not to
have the heads built into the cartridge. They are separate from the
cartridge and you can remove them separately from the printer to
clean them specifically. The most rational of all designs.

PDF hyperlinks in Mail 4.5

I have created a test PDF document for emailing that contains links to websites.
The links all work when I open the PDF in Preview after exporting it to the desktop from InDesign and/or Pages.
If I email the PDF to myself as a test, the links don't work. Clicking on a link highlights the entire PDF.
The links all work in Safari when opened from the desktop.
I suspect that the problem is in Mail 4.5 but I'm not sure.
Perhaps someone can offer a solution?
Tom
