iMac? or just Mac Pro?
I have the question in to their sales line.
If I hear anything in the meantime, I'll let you know.

Howdy.
Since both USB and FireWire is built into nearly all Macs it would mean
the Cubix will work with any Mac using these connections.
IF a PCIe card were required to use the Cubix via something like
Thunderbolt, then it would not work with MacMini or iMac but might be
made to work with a MacBook Pro with a card slot port and the
appropriate card.
However, I'm not very familiar with what can be used in an SDXC card
slot on a MacBook Pro laptop so don't know if it could be made to
work. In any case, the Cubix device has FireWire anyway so this would
be a moot point.
If the Cubix device had Thunderbolt, then that port on a MacMini,
Laptop, or iMac could be used.
If you have a MacPro, at this time it would need a PCIe expansion card
with a Thunderbolt port which I mentioned in a previous post on this
topic.

Lion on an 8 GB USB Flash Drive
Posted by: "Denver Dan" denver.dan@verizon.net denverdan22180
Wed May 23, 2012 7:03 am (PDT)
Howdy.
Yesterday I bought a SanDisk 8 GB USB flash drive and installed the Mac
OS X 10.7 Lion installer on it.
The SanDisk 8 GB flash drive was $9.99 USD at the local Micro Center
retail store. Apple offers a similar USB flash drive with Lion
pre-installed on it for $69.00 USD at the App Store.
It took several efforts and missteps before I actually got Lion
installed on the USB flash drive but it is now working, it will boot my
MacPro.
There are several web sites and articles with how to do this but they
all seem to have left out some important step or piece of information.
You can use a DVD Lion and/or a USB flash drive with Lion installer to
boot your Mac, to run Disk Utility, repair hard drives, change
passwords, Terminal, troubleshooting, and to re-install Lion if needed.
So here's some information that hopefully includes some of these
missing steps.
- - - - -
1. If you are running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and download the Mac
OS X 10.7 Lion installer from the App Store, it goes to the Desktop
location.
2. If you are already running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and download the Mac
OS X 10.7 Lion installer again in order to make a USB flash drive Lion
installer (or DVD), the download goes to your Applications folder.
Note that in order to download Lion again from the App Store you will
first need to log into your account. You won't be charged a 2nd time
for the Lion download.
3. If you are upgrading to Lion, note that after downloading the Lion
installer you should STOP and not install Lion (yet) until you decide
whether you want to use the downloaded installer to burn your own DVD
Lion disc installer and/or make a Lion USB flash drive installer.
This is because after running the downloaded Lion installer it
automatically deletes itself after installing Lion.
4. Note that you can't burn your own Lion DVD disc installer and then
later use that DVD to install Lion on a USB flash drive Lion
installer. I tried it to no avail.
At least you can't do this with an 8 GB USB flash drive because 8 GB
isn't enough space. 8 GB is fine if you are making a USB flash
installer from the Lion download item. I assume this is due to the
Lion install DVD that you can burn wanting to install itself as both
the regular Lion AND the invisible Lion Recovery partition (not enough
room for both in 8 GB).
5. You can use the Disk Utility program already on your Snow Leopard
or Lion system to burn a DVD Lion install disc and to make a USB Flash
drive Lion boot/install drive.
How to do this is often not immediately clear to many folks. Use the
Disk Utility Help feature to find the step by step instructions for
doing this.
6. The Lion install download is in the form of a "package" file named
"Install Mac OS X Lion.app."
A "package" file is a special type of folder that acts like an
application when double-clicked but is actually a folder full of
things.
To see the contents of a package file and to use those things
separately you do a right click (or, Control left click) on the package
file and you will see a contextual menu appear. Pick the Show Package
Contents command to open the package file.
A new window should open named Contents.
Open Contents and then look for an open a sub folder named
SharedSupport.
Inside SharedSupport is the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion disk image file. It's
named "InstallESD.dmg."
You will use this disk image file to either burn your own Lion DVD disc
installer and/or to make a USB Lion flash drive installer.
If you don't know what a disk image file is, this is a great time to
learn about it. Disk image files are common, convenient, and have been
around on Macintosh for many years.
Note that if you are only installing Lion for the first time (upgrading
from Snow Leopard) and don't want to make DVDs and USB flash drive
installers, you don't need to open the package file. Just double click
it.
7. If you intend to make a USB flash drive Lion installer, you will
need to reformat the USB flash drive that you buy. Most are pre
formatted in what is called FAT-32 and a drive formatted as FAT-32
can't be used to boot a Mac. Macintosh can read and write files to a
FAT-32 drive (FAT-32 is an older form of Microsoft drive format
protocol).
When you reformat the USB flash drive you need to choose the Erase tab
in Disk Utility (after selecting the flash drive icon is list at left)
then change the Format popup menu to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then
click Erase button.
IMPORTANT. Be sure to double-check your choices before clicking Erase
… to be sure you aren't erasing something else like an external hard
drive ! ! ! ! !
8. To make the USB flash drive Lion installer you use the disk image
file mentioned in Step 6, and you use the Restore tab in Disk Utility
to "restore" the Lion installer to the USB flash drive. Check Disk
Utility Help for the specific steps to do this.
Note that if you do something wrong with the USB flash drive and Lion,
do not despair! All is not lost. You can reformat the USB flash drive
and try again with the correct setup.
Note that if you burn a Lion DVD disc installer it is best to use a
DVD-+R Double Layer DVD disc and not a DVD-RW (rewritable) disc.
Note also that one of the incorrect steps in this procedure that I
encountered in several online sites for how to do this procedure was
the instruction that you could select the USB flash drive icon in Disk
Utility's drive list and then do a right click to select the command
(from a contextual menu) to "restore" the Lion installer from the disk
image file. This may be possible in Snow Leopard's version of Disk
Utility but it was not available in Lion's version of Disk Utility.
Good luck and happy Lionizing.

Dan,
If you look back a day or so, I mentioned a link to Lion Diskmaker. This
is a free utility that makes a bootable, install disk with a target of
either a DVD, SD card, or USB thumb drive.
This has been around for quite awhile, and is a 100% reliable method for
creating a bootable install device for Lion. It has the advantage of
also installing disk utility and a password reset utility as well.

Howdy Harry.
I did see your note and remember reading other info also about
DiskMaker.
My goal is often to use what is included by Apple to do these things
without using 3rd party software. I feel it's a good exercise for
folks to know about Disk Utility, package files, disk image files,
restore, etc. And in investigating these things in order to try to
write an article that makes some kind of coherent sense I end up
learning things, too!
Sometimes, however, 3rd party software is easier to use.

Hi Dan,
I now understand where you're coming from. Having come from a pre-OS X
environment, and being familiar with probably more than I need to, I
usually look for an easier way at this point.
If I had to rely on the supplied utilities, I am confident that I would
be able to accomplish the task. I take it for granted that most are
familiar with these things.
I should realize that many are not.
Thanks for all of your efforts over the years.

I just remembered what many new Lion users were doing to create a
recovery medium of any sort when the first release came out, sans DVD.
There were many of us discussing this over on the Apple discussion
boards, and there was a method to open the recovery partition up in the
finder, and copying the install file to a visible partition and creating
the media from there. It took quite awhile and quite a bit of thought
to do this, but we did.
I have a file of the steps to take somewhere on my hard drive, but I
don't recall offhand, the entire procedure. It was darned simple, for a
computer person, to do...so simple that many people missed it. The
tricky part was to extract the install_esd (I believe, or efd) file and
copy it to a visible partition.
I keep gathering so much info that some of it never makes it out, ala
FILO stack as opposed to FIFO! :)

I'm afraid not, because they are over there on the external because I'm not doing much of anything with them these days. Sort of an archive vault.

So sorry for not replying to you Anna.
I had suddenly gotten called away and consequently involved with helping an 88 year old neighbor who had fallen. Long story short, he is now in a rest home and can no longer live in his own home. (sad story)
Anyway, where were we?
The iPhoto version I'm using is old; 5.0.4. There is no slider or any other way to adjust the thumbnails that I can see. I use Yahoo for mail and hit where it says ad attachments, which takes me to were I can click on photos.
Move down for more replies to you, Anna. But I think I have to update iPhoto get get anywhere...

Sorry to hear about your neighbor.
So you are trying to view the thumbnails in the navigation window from yahoo email. Then I don't think that there is a way to enlarge it.
Instead, find the photo first, outside of yahoo email, then go back to yahoo mail and attach the photo using the name to locate the correct image. iPhoto is not the problem, the email app or browser you are using for email is the problem.

Can you use "file" -> "export" to send a copy to your desktop? I can put choose a standard size (s,m,l) or custom. Then when it's on your desktop in the size you want drag it over to the mail. :-)
You might want to send a few photos to yourself and see what you want.

Too much work! Just drag the photo from iPhoto to the desktop and the
original copies there. No need to export anything. Drag and drop.
This has worked for as long as I can remember.

Sorry to hear about your neighbour.
I'm still not clear what you want to do:-
Enlarge thumbnails of photos sent to you as attachments via Yahoo Mail;
or
Enlarge thumbnails of photos in iPhoto to help you choose them before
sending them as attachments via Yahoo Mail?

Your iPhoto main window does not look like this, with Zoom slider at bottom
right?

Aborting Sleep mode
Posted by: "Island Center for the Arts" finearts@otenet.gr monkeymannmcghee

Sometimes I put my machine to sleep when I really don't want to because it is busy doing something.
Is there a way to abort the sleep mode function before the machine goes to sleep?

Thanks for the suggestion, Jim.
I think that SmartSleep doesn't exactly do what I need.
To better describe what I'd like to be able to do: - Perhaps I am downloading a large file via email. While waiting for the download I forget what I am doing and decide to refill my coffee cup. I might go automatically to the the Apple menu and select Sleep (which I normally do at the end of a session), and then immediately remember that I am in the middle of a download. I'd like to prevent the computer from going to sleep.
I was hoping that there is a keyboard shortcut or key combination that would simply stop what I had inadvertently asked the Mac to do. I fear that there is not.

I know it is hard to change habits.
Why put it to sleep at all, esp for short absences. If for security, you can set a hot corner to start a screensaver and set it to require your password to get out of the screen saver. That's what I do when leaving my computer.
I thought the esc key might work, but just tried it and it does not. FWIW, the esc key aborts a lot of things in various programs, a habit I have from long ago.

Press a key a few times. I usually tap spacebar. The OS will exit sleep as soon as it safely can which in my experience is fairly quickly.
Cheers,

"invalid" SSL certificates?
Posted by: "Dane Robison" macdane@mac.com macdane1
Thu May 24, 2012 5:59 am (PDT)
Coincidence, perhaps, but since upgrading to Lion I'm getting all sorts of "invalid SSL" messages in Safari. It's primarily a problem when I try to use PayPal and am told that "the certificate for this server is invalid." In that particular case, it looks like PayPal is trying to load a bunch of files (javascript, css, etc.) from <paypalobjects.com>.
I'm having similar problems with Mail. Every time I launch the app, I'm warned that "Mail can't verify the identity of mail.mac.com"
http://screencast.com/t/MiUGewYciJ iG
Anyone else seeing these problems? Suggestions?
10.7.4 on a MBP 2.2 GHz Core i7
Thanks,
Dane
