Trouble with Thunderbird
My email has recently started not showing the messages. I have version 3.1.11 and it now shows Always load remote content to almost every message so I am forced to click on Show remote content to see the messages. I have checked and the sender is already in my address book. I'm using OS 10.5.8. Is there a setting I need to check? Thing used to work in older versions.

Re: OS 10.5
From my understanding an upgrade in OSX wasn't really an upgrade. It would do a full install of the operating system and then copy the user files/apps and preferences(making sure the compatible ones were kept and the others tossed/converted.

Re: Removing Heat Sink from Sonnet G4 upgrade card
Greetings, I couldn't find anywhere in your posting which stated that you have Temperature Monitor installed in your platform. Without some kind of a Temperature monitor installed all that you are going by is the sound of the FANs. The MDD will turn it's fans on full if the Temperature monitors on the motherboard doesn't see the Temperature of the CPU and it could be that your Sonnet G4 Upgrade card isn't providing the proper input to the Temperature monitoring circuit. If you install the Temperature Monitor http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html When you start up your platform the CPU temp. should be about room ambient temp. I have a MDD 1.25Ghz and Temperature Monitor reports my CPU B: 136.4F and the Disk drive (SMART: 88F) and my fans run at low speed. Cheers Harry San Jose, Ca On Jul 29, 6:37 am, Maccountant gsuc...@gmail.com wrote: Prior to the upgrade, the I only heard the fans occasionally. After, they were roaring at full speed constantly. I don't remember offhand the temps Temperature Monitor said, but they were on the high end. Not redline though. Not overclocking. Using on the MDD system the upgrade was designed for.

Can't clone my drive anymore
Hi, Since my MDD crashed the last time I cannot clone my drives anymore. I was upgrading some extensions for my new Firefox version but they were incompatible which the installer only told me after the fact. The crash happened when I was trying to copy a 7 GB MKV file to a FAT32 USB-stick. Stoopid ... Everytime I try CCC now that evil file named .fileflags_compat appears in CCC and even when I use advanced settings en specify NOT to copy that file and to erase any files that are not on the source that darn thing rears its ugly head again with a different appendix like Ye2j or something. When I try my good ole CCC in Panther to clone my Tiger volume the file appears as .fileflags_compat= and if I don't include it in the clone it goes away but only if I nuke and pave the destination volume. But now I want to clone my Panther volume and I'm stuck. Any idea how I can find that hidden file and nuke it? When I use Search in Finder under Tiger the search engine just spins on and on never stopping and never finding a thing. TIA for your help. Kind regards, Jörg. -- Per aspera ad astra. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Mouseball comes to life, keyboard dies
I think I just discovered something. I have a wired Apple mouse with one of those little trackballs on the top, the kind that eventually gets sticky and don't work. Well, the trackball on mine was typical: it didn't work. Sometimes I could get pages to scroll down, but not up. I did the usual things to try to fix it: dripped alcohol and other cleaning fluids on the ball and turned the mouse upside down and worked the ball around and around until dirty liquid seeped out and then the ball sort of worked again, only to fail all over again after a little while. I just gave up on it. Well, my wife brought home one of those Magic Eraser things from Home Depot. Sort of a small white sponge that you add a little water to and then wipe dirt off things with. She gave it to me because I was complaining about how dirty and grubby my keyboard was getting. Well, this Magic Eraser really did clean up my keyboard. A couple of swipes across each key and it was gleaming white just like new. (This is starting to sound like a commercial, but it's not). Anyway, there was the old mouse sitting there too so I wiped it down as well, and in the process rolled the trackball around with the sponge some, and then forgot about it. The next time I used the mouse, the track ball worked much better, though it was still a little sticky when scrolling up. I didn't pay much attention to it. But whatever is in that Magic Eraser thing wasn't done working, I guess, because now, a few days later, the trackball works perfectly, left, right, up, and down. I wonder what's in that eraser thing? On the downside, I had a glass of water sitting next to my keyboard (the very thin aluminum kind), and I bumped it over on the keyboard. The water went all over the keys. Instantly I turned the board over and set it on a towel, and tapped on it, hoping to drain out all the water. Then I fired up a hair dryer and held the keyboard upside down and dried the heck out of it. All to no avail. The keyboard is dead. Tapping on keys gets no response whatever on the screen. I can't figure out how to Magic Erase the inside of a keyboard, assuming it would work. Does anyone know a way this dead keyboard might be resuscitated? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Would that early Apple ergonomics keyboard go through the dishwasher? Do you take apart the keyboard, or leave it intact?
