Mail messages containing eBay links don't work (the links)

2009-03-30 Thread Tom

Here's a new problem I'm having with Leopard's Mail (10.5.6), and I
don't know if it's a problem with Mail or with Safari 3.2.1.

When I sell an item on eBay, I get an e-mail from eBay letting me
know. In this eBay message is a button labeled Send Invoice that is
supposed to take me to an eBay webpage so I can send a bill to the
buyer.

When Safari is my default browser, I hit that button and instead of
going to the webpage, Safari puts up a box that says Safari can't
open the page http:// because it's an invalid address.

But if I make Firefox my default browser and hit the button, the eBay
webpage opens up in Firefox just fine.

In fact, Safari can't open ANY Mail message's link to an eBay page. If
I get an e-mail from some eBay member asking a question about
something I've got up for sale on eBay, there is always a link in the
message to the auction page. If Safari is the browser I'm using,
clicking on that link brings up the same message that it's an invalid
address, while if I use Firefox, it opens the eBay page just fine.

So, what could be the problem between Mail and Safari with regard to e-
mail links to eBay? Any ideas what I might do to fix it?

Many thanks,

Tom

Last.fm to charge for streaming (BBC).

2009-03-30 Thread Brian Durant

In connection with the following news item, I am wondering if anyone
knows of a program that will change the IP address in OS X to an
address that shows another geographical location, such as the US?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7963812.stm

At this time, EU countries either are or are in the process of getting
locked out of a number of streaming audio/video services.

Cheers,

You need to find a proxy server within the location you need to be  
within to receive the stream. There are free proxies, and there are  
pay for proxies. In this case, you'll need a proxy within the USA,  
Britain, or Germany.

Re: Firefox memory?

2009-03-30 Thread MnDel


 How many bookmarks do you have? Are they in folders?


Thousands, all in folders, I don't know where one would get a total
number


 One other thing that slows it way down is all the little
 bookmark icons, whatever they are called. Loading those
 slows it down too, maybe there is a corrupted one?

Called Favicons I believe, but no idea how to tell of a corrupted one,
or how to prevent them loading.

 On a PC, you're supposed to export your bookmarks and
 settings and create a new profile. This often solves
 problems in Windoze Firefox, I'm not sure if it applies
 to Mac Firefox.  Hope this helps,
   Stephen

Thanks, guess I'll hold off on that unless a mac guru says it's a good
idea

See if the web link is breaking in Mail: stretch the message window  
out as wide as you can make it and see if the url can be made to fit  
on one line. Mail has a bad habit of breaking URL's in half...though  
I'd exoect if you had that problem it would affect both firefox and

Re: Mail messages containing eBay links don't work (the links)

2009-03-30 Thread Doug McNutt


Have a very careful look for embedded spaces in URLs that get 
anywhere near Apple's mail application. URLs cannot have spaces in 
them! They must be encoded with %=20 if they're really needed.

The mail APPL uses content type format-flowed with a desp = yes 
option. That is a fairly new addition to the RFCs and it puts a 
requirement on the receiving mail client to watch out for space 
followed by return characters at then ends of lines. That is supposed 
to indicate that an 80 character line length limit can be treated by 
a client as text that wraps to window width.

What happens with the delsp = yes option is that long URLs lose part 
of their text in the wrapping process. If you look at the source of 
the message you might well discover that Apple Mail has dropped a few 
characters at the end.

Re: Upgrade to Leopard leaves mailboxes empty

2009-03-30 Thread Al Poulin

This is a very helpful review of steps I have found for myself to work
several times in Erase  Install and in migrating to new machines.  I
offer a few modifications.

On Mar 28, 2:16 pm, Tom tba...@nmia.com wrote:
 Since this thread will end up archived somewhere, I thought I'd add
 another person's solution to this problem of Mail breaking after an OS
 upgrade, that was sent to me. It's basically what I did myself, but
 for anyone who needs to be walked through it, here is his solution,
 step-by-step:

 3. If Mail is running, make it stop. Trash the file;  /Users/
 (yourusername here)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

I do not trash this.  I set it aside and then copy it into the library
where this preference does not yet exist in the new OS.

 6. Launch Mail. It will ask you to configure it  for the first time.
 Since it is not on the network, you will need to configure it
 manually, using the settings you documented in step 1. Don't let it
 configure itself, because it is not on the network and will not be
 able to find any servers.

My old accounts carried forward with the preferences.

 You may need to recreate your rules/filters. You are on your own
 there. Maybe document them in step 1 along with the other
 documentation you make of your previous setup.

I do not use rules, but note Gary D.'s message pointing to the Apple
article TS2537.  That could have saved me having to retrain the new
Mail about Junk.

you won't have to worry about them.

Long ago, eBay created my.ebay - a nice tailorable *secure* page that 
serves as a centralized buying and selling console.  ALL the

So... I went across the room to my G5 (running Leopard and connected via
Ethernet) and read the following off of the Network SP panel:
IP Address: 192.168.1.8
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Search Domains: Home

The screen snap shows these settings for your G5, but it's the wired 
Ethernet interface that's given preference.  Does it show those same 
settings when you view the wireless settings?  And does it work when 
you make that the preferred interface (either in software or by 
unplugging the cat5 cable from the G5)?.

I then went to the TCP/IP control panel on the G4 DA (again, running OS
9.2.2), made sure to select Connect via to Airport, Configure manually,
and copied the above information to the requisite fields, like so:

IP Address: 192.168.1.x (x=another no. other than 8)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
Name server address (I presume this was DNS Server)
Search Domains: Home

I then saved this configuration and attempted to run an internet connection
(after I turned Airport on, of course), as mentioned earlier, this was no go.

Ok, if that's right for your wireless network.  After saving the 
settings under OS 9, you have to wait up to 5 minutes for it to 
complete the faux DHCP cycle.  Or reboot...

Re: Mail messages containing eBay links don't work (the links)

 Good!

 Get OUT of the habit of using links in emails!  Phish-type emails are
 getting better and better - harder to distinguish from the real
 thing.  If make it a habit of NEVER clicking on emailed links, then
 you won't have to worry about them.

You can also look at these links by viewing the message as raw  
source in Mail.

I remember the very first time I got a paypal spoof e-mail.  I looked  
at the actual URL the link was going to, and it was obviously not the  
URL of paypal.  Even though the look of the e-mail did a fine job of  
mimicking a paypal e-mail, the link was a dead giveaway.

BTW, you should forward those things to sp...@paypal.com and  
sp...@ebay.com.  (I'm sure other big companies have a similar place  
for reporting them.)
