Change SMTP Server… 04. Create Rule… 05. Filter Sent Messages 06. Open Mailbox 07. Open Message 08. Remove Duplicates… 09. Schedule Delivery… 10.

OT? Cosmopod
Hi all. This question may be OT... forgive me if it is, but I know I get an answer here... During the last few hours, whenever I open Safari, I get a dialog box asking if I want to download Cosmopod. The box has the Safari logo but I'm doubting that it's an Apple item. I looked it up and it's a remote desktop app. I'm wondering if this is legit in how it was enabled as a popup box. When I open Safari, my default page is a custom webmail page I created with out any advertising or outside feeds except certain email. Anyone know about this app? dan_A = http://web.mac.com/danauerbach = --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Cosmopod is a Safari plug-in that downloads flash and other media files from web pages and converts them to iPod-compatible .m4p files...it's a VERY useful plug-in. http://www.cocoamug.com If you're getting that pop-up you must have, at some time, installed it; it displays a dialog asking if you want to update it when it's updated, and 'check for updates' is checked in the Cosmopod prefs. Find the installer (or download it again) and click on the Uninstall button. As I said, it's an excellent plug-in; it was a key bit letting me move to Safari entirely from Firefox. well worht the 17 or so it cost me at the time (It's priced in euros, I don't remember what the exchange rate was at the time) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

G5 Printing Problem HP LaserJet 4
I'm having a printing problem on my G5 w/10.5.8 and HP LaserJet 4 printer attached via a USB-parallel adapter connection. The printer has worked fine with identical setup for several years. Things I've done: Deleted and re-added the printer in Printing Fax preferences. Checked that CUPS was running. Rebooted the System (several times). The symptoms are always the same, I press Print and get a window saying the Printer is Paused. If I hit the Resume Printer I get Printer is Ready, but the job is stopped. I press Resume button (for the job) I get a message Operation Not Possible: client-error- not-possible. If I delete the job while the Printer is Ready and then print again, this causes the printer to pause again, so it's a vicious circle. The CUPS page http://127.0.0.1:631/ loads normally, but if I press Manage Printers (http://127.0.0.1:631/printers) the page gives the Spinning Beachball until finally it times out with and error page saying the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. If I use the Terminal command lp -info, I get the reply bus error. I thought perhaps there was a problem with the USB-Parallel adapter, but the correct kext is loaded, and the adapter (a Prolific PL-2305) is shown in System Profiler as working. I've checked the driver for the printer several times, and repaired permissions just in case. Nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas.

[etc] Had the same symptoms a week ago here. Turned out the LaserJet was upset - paper jam and toner low at the same time. I cleared the jam, tilted the toner, then had to power-cycle the printer to get things working again. No idea if that will help your situation... :) - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: G5 Printing Problem HP LaserJet 4
We had the same thing happen with other Laserjet USB models after the most recent OS update which brought our machines from OS 1056 up to 1058 - a newer printer driver set loaded as one of the separate/named updates. Our workaround was to 1. un-install the Laserjet (delete the printer completely) 2. Download the older HP laserjet driver set for MacOSX 3. Apply the old drivers then add the printers back to the machines which were malfinctioning 4. Igornore update the next time the Printer Driver update was offered in the Apple Software Updater Note - this weird behavior only manifested ont he HP Laserjets we have the utilize the USB connection instead of the standard jetdirect port. Our JetDirects all continued to work as expected with the update applied as is.
