I suggest that those that run into problems decide whether or not to purchase Disk Warrior. I won't run without it and haven't for many years. I have experienced situations that Disk Utility won't even recognize, let alone repair. Disk Warrior got me back and running.
Or heck, they can spend the day recovering from a wipe and restore. They're choice.

I agree with you there. I owned a version back when I had my PowerMac G5. It got me out of hot water once, so I guess it has paid for itself.
I haven't updated since, however, I have a friend who allowed me to run it on my internal drive once. The drive had been fine, still is fine, but DW continually reported errors with it. Even re-ran it after a repair and it reported errors. It was the newest version at the time.

And how do you know that these "errors" were anything significant?
Were you actually experiencing problems that Disk Utility couldn't
fix, or was it just that DW didn't agree with how DU arranged things?

I think that, per Randy's earlier suggestion, I will hold off getting DiskWarrior for Lion, especially because I don't possess a legit copy and getting the latest version will cost a ceenote. It can wait.

Did Lion change the way the files are laid out on the disk? In other
words, if your machine can boot an earlier OS then a bootable Disk
Warrior CD should work regardless of what OS your machine itself runs.

Shift-command-m did the trick.
Thanks.
And now to question #2.
Sometimes when I listening to an online radio station I can search the web and the radio station will continue to play. Other times, when I search the web the radio station shuts off. Is there a reason for this. Is there anything that can be do to prevent it from happening.
Thanks in advance.

iTunes should continue to play while you search using a web browser. If,
however, you have a slow internet connection, your iTunes radio connection
might stutter. Does it actually shut off or just pause/stutter?

If running your browser momentarily causes you to have a lack of RAM,
CPU time, or bandwidth for your radio program to be streamed, then
there will be a momentary interruption, usually followed by the
programming resuming soon thereafter.
I'd suspect that this only occurs on sites that have heavy use of
Flash, Javascript, or Java. But mostly I'd suspect Flash. Sometimes
this can be remedied by installing more RAM. Most users deal with
the problem by throttling Flash until you really want to let it run,
with something like:
ClickToFlash (free)

https://github.com/rentzsch/ clicktoflash
FlashFrozen ($1)

Wrong window in Safari
Posted by: "Jim Saklad" jimdoc@me.com jimdoc01
Sun Jan 15, 2012 2:20 pm (PST)
I don't know if this is a common problem, seen by others.
I haven't encountered other similar complaints.
About half the time that I use Safari, I go to it directly and either go to the relevant already-opened window and tab, or specifically open a window or tab and enter a URL or use the Google bar.
The other half of the time, I get to Safari by being sent there by another program -- clicking on a URL in Mail, for example, or from NetNewsWire.
And maybe half of THOSE times -- the "referrals" -- Safari comes to the fore with the wrong window frontmost. And not even the most recently-used wrong window.
I've found that the fastest and simplest way to get to the correct window (since I normally have several windows open, each with several tabs) is to use <Command><Tab> to flip back to the previous App, and then again to flip to Safari once again. And *this* time it ALWAYS brings me to the correct window and tab.
Lion 10.7.2
Safari 5.1.2
Have others seen this phenomenon?
Has anyone a suggestion to fix it?

My guess is that nothing will change, Randy. I use SuperDuper! to create bootable clones, so whatever exists on my laptop's startup drive will probably also exist in the clone.
Personally I think that this is an OS problem that has somehow crept in. I'm away from home, so I can't access my external drive to check your recommendation.
Thanx for the link. I think that an upmove to Lion is the ticket. Oneal

Yes, unfortunately, if your problem is software-based, a cloned drive
will have exactly the same problems unless the clone was performed
prior to the problems manifesting themselves and the clone hasn't
been updated since.
But, as I mentioned just this week on another Mac discussion list
where we were discussing all of the problems that people have been
having with Lion (mostly slowdowns and beachballs), these problems
only occur with systems that have been updated in the normal matter
to Lion. Users who have done a clean install update to Lion haven't
had any of the problems commonly associated with upgrading to Lion.

On a recommend from Denver Dan, I did a clean install moving up to Leopard, which cleared up previous problems. What I don't understand is why one form of installation would create a result that is different from another form of installation.
(I'm listening to a CBC special (from PRI, I think) on Sly and the Family Stone, hence all these messages until the show finishes. I recording it Audio Hijack Pro.)

I use Download Helper, an extension with Firefox. It's a bit buggy,
and Firefox's numerous upgrades don't always play nce with it, but
it's free and it gets the job done.

I was hoping for a Vimeo plugin for Safari, just as I have a YouTube plugin for downloading vids. I'm having a hard time downloading DownloadHelper for Safari.
It seems that Vimeo used to be downloadable on Safari. I may have to go to something like MovieSherlock (which costs 39 bucks Canadian) to get something that does NOT not play nice with my browser.

I'm getting away from that. I don't have the energy anymore. I'm
getting old.
Now after I've told someone to try something and they don't bother to
try it, or they tell me that I'm wrong, I just don't attempt to help
them after that, no matter how much they whine about their Mac or
about Apple.
I actually understand where folks who don't listen and who whine are
coming from. They aren't at all tech-savvy, and they really want
someone to hold their hand and tell them a really simple way to fix
all of their problems. Unfortunately we aren't always in a position
to be able to do that for them. Users who need a lot of hand-holding
are probably wasting their time on a discussion list like this and
need to be visiting the Genius Bar at an Apple Store, where they can
just leave off their Mac and say "fix it."
We can help people with a lot of stuff here, but they have to be able
to meet us half-way by not being so inexperienced with their Mac that
they are afraid or unable to try things we suggest.

It's been such that I've had to re-check threads here to see if I actually posted! The info that I would post would be relevant and helpful, but follow-up posts seemed to be 'blind' to my posting!

I think that we have to come to grips with the fact that this list,
and all Mac discussion lists, just aren't the same as they were just
a couple of years ago.
Apple has become so successful that after several years of record Mac
sales, half of which were to first-time Mac users who had previously
only ever used Windows, that the ranks of Mac users has changed
overall in character. There are far more newbies, and a lot of those
newbies have to unlearn what they already know about Windows and
think that they know about their new Mac by extrapolation.
The kind of help that we are used to giving on this list can lead to
some severely frustrated users. Frustrated users can lash out. For
instance, recently on another Mac list I pointed out a really great
deal on a Samsung printer, thinking that even though I don't actually
recommend Samsung printers, that some users have told me that they
like Samsung printers, and they might find the deal interesting. As
a result, a couple of users on the list blasted me and told me that I
wasn't working hard enough for them. That I need to tell them all of
the ins and outs of each product that I tell them about.
It's getting so that if I don't personally show up and wipe people's
behinds for them that anything that I do short of that often isn't
good enough for them. Newbies expect a lot.

Wow! I think I would take a more 'hands-off' approach to such responses. Let the recommendation lie and be done with it, provided I had justified it in the initial offering.

Thanks for the responses.
I found out how to put the drive jumpers to enable cable select...no
difference.
A friend has an older copy of Disk Warrior, I'll try that next.
If that doesn't work maybe I'll put on the surgical equipment and
transfer the disks to a hard drive different case, maybe there's a
slim chance it'll work.

Missing folder in application support

I was having trouble with a topaz filter. It couldn't save my presets. The
tech person told me to delete it and reinstall it. Her directions were to
go to the library, to application support, and delete it there..But it
wasn't there. I started looking around ,and in applications, Photoshop CS5,
I saw the topaz folders, but all with shortcut signs. When I clicked on get
info, and on show original, it tell me that the originals are in the
library, application support..but they are not visable. In my old windows
compters there was a place to show Hidden folders. How can I make these
folders show in Application support?They are there, or so I have been told,
yet, I can not see them. I have a Mac Pro running Lion.
Thanks,
Jeannie

1. While in Finder, click on the Go menu.
2. If you also press <Option>, you will see Library as a choice in that menu.
3. Select Library there.
4. When a Finder window opens to ~.Library, click and hold on the titlebar icon for "Users/<Username>/Library" and drag it to the left pane, and drop it in the Favorites section.
You should now have "Library" available to click on in the left pane of any Finder window.

Based on the responses to this thread, it seems that going a little higher on the iDefrag temp-quit settings is not likely to endanger my laptop's harddrive.
Thanx to the respondents. Oneal
