OT: Multiple Voting When It's Prohibited

2013-04-22 Thread Judith Berkowitz
I'm curious: how do folks get around online quizzes and such that have
a limit on voting?
For instance, if I can vote once / day I see a note that reads
Already Voted! after I have done so. Which is as it should be.

However, I'm sure that folks have packed their votes by voting
multiple times in one day.

Not that I intend to do this (at least not for now!), but how is it
possible to get around the once / 24 hour rule?

I've tried a few things already:
- Emptied the cache
- Trashed cookies  forms
- Reset Safari

Those don't work, so how do they do it?
The more things that do not work, the more curious I am to find how it
is done!

Unresponsive Script: Javascript Packed

2013-03-05 Thread Judith Berkowitz

Hello,

When using Mail as webmail in TenFourFox, Safari, FireFox I always get
this message at least three times. This has been happening for many
months now.
It occurs when I hit Reply, Forward, and also when I hit Compose new
message.

How can I fix this? I figure if the javascript is packed, I can
somehow unpack it!
Thanks so much!

 This means that your old web browsers on your old system are taking a very

 javascript.

Yah: that's it; it's usually hanging... Several  looong hangs.

 You may be better off setting up your iCloud email as an IMAP mail account in 
 the actual Mail app as per:
 http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/how-to-configure-access-icloud...
 this removes all the javascript processing issues entirely.

Hi Bruce, and thanks,
After iCloud went live the first thing I did on my own machine was set
it up in the Mail app via
For Tiger 10.4.11: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/
icloudmail2.html
For Leopard/Snow Leopard: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/
notes/icloudmail.html

but the machine I'm using now isn't mine. So I'm using the webmail
version.
And that's the problem-o.

 When they switched to

 lame way for Apple to handle a paying customer when there was a good
 (IMAP) working solution available.

For months prior to the mobileme shutdown Apple deluged me - and every

I'd better switch to iCloud or I'd be left in the dust. Did you really
not see any of those notices?

iBook G4... Dead?

2012-09-15 Thread Judith Berkowitz

iBook G4
1.33Ghz
OS 10.4.11
80Gig HD

It had been working just fine; I'd closed the cover, unplugged the
power cord from the wall socket, carried it into another room and
plugged it into a power strip there.

Opened the cover and... nothing.
The screen is dark, no sound when I press the power button. Seems as
dead as can be, although I hope not!

Any ideas as to what the problem is and how to rectify it?

Thank you!

We are all assuming that you are attempting to avoid opening spam,

If this is the case, you can turn off the Mail option to automatically
load email images. I've understood that it's that that triggers the
response to the spammer. The option is in both the Mail client and the
Webmail versions.
Should you wish to see the images in a particular post, the option to

Mail Archiving

2011-03-19 Thread Judith Berkowitz
I use the Mac Mail Client Version 2.1.3
on my Late 2005 12 iBook
OS X 10.4.11
1.33 GHz
1 GB Ram

Right around now each year I make two new folders On My Mac, this
year they're called 2010 Inbox and 2010 Sent.
I then manually slide about 200 posts at a time from the previous year
from the current Inbox and Sent mail into these respective folders.
If I highlight more, the process usually chokes.

Surely there is a simpler, and perhaps automated, way to get all the
old mail out of the current Inbox, yet still keep it around!

Thanks!

App to Delete Unused Languages, Printers, Modems

2011-02-22 Thread Judith Berkowitz

I spent the weekend without internet access, so did a bit of
housekeeping on my
iBook G4 12
1.33 GHz
1GB SDRAM
80 GB Hard Drive

I ran Onyx in all its modes, zapped PRam.
Stowed all my 2010 mail in folders in the Mail client.

I noticed that I have other apps on the HD that do more or less the
same thing that Onyx does:
Applejack,
Cocktail,
MacJanitor
No reason to keep them around, right?

Now I'm looking to gain a bit of space on the iBook's hard drive by
deleting unused
   languages,
   modems,
   and
   printers.
What would be good utilities to take care of this task?

Thanks!

 Monolingual will do most of the removing for you, and clear out unused

 Printers you can do on your own, all the drivers are in /Library/Printers,

I discovered that I'd already deleted all but two printer drivers long
enough ago that I hadn't remembered it.
I also found that I already had Monolingual 1.3.9 downloaded to my HD,
so I ran it and cleared out 340MB of Finnish, Chinese, Russian, etc.
I also cleared out 230MB in architectures from G5 to Intel 64-bit.
But what should I choose to clear out in the Input Menu category?

 AppleJack is *the* emergency repair tool, to be used when the OS is broken.  
 From Single User Mode (boot holding down cmd-s), it does a deep cleaning of 
 the OS.  It can even run fsck (Disk Utility) to repair your HD -- without 
 needing to boot on something else.

Thanks Dan.
Interestingly, I never was able to get Applejack properly installed...
I'll try it again from scratch.

I believe that the correct term would be
ENbiggening.
To enbiggen.

Just getting all etymological on ya here.

Why do you need to upgrade the keyboard and mouse?
Do they not work as they are now?

Those early iMac keyboards have a good touch to them.

As for the puck mouse, if you slightly alter the body mechanics you
use for mousing, you'll find it easy to use.
You just need to position it in the way it was meant to be held.
Move your hand forward on it so that your palm covers the mouse and
the base of your fingers (rather than the tips) control the button.
Hold it so that the wire exits between your second and third fingers.

That way it's comfortable and lessens the strain that causes carpal
tunnel syndrome.

If it's tray-loading, it isn't a Blueberry iMac but rather a Bondi
iMac.
If it hasn't been upgraded, the vram is 2MB in the Rev A and 6MB in
the Rev B.
The video card is the only other difference between the two: Rage IIc
in Rev A and Rage Pro Turbo in Rev B.

I opt to receive all my Lists in Digest Format.

If a post is in anything but plain text, it doesn't come through as a

Re: Low End Mac weak on Facebook ! - or not...

2010-05-18 Thread Judith Berkowitz
I just joined this Facebook group.

I hadn't joined the LEM FB group prior to this because I didn't know
about it.
I just joined as member #652.
(I also joined the other LEM group as member #14. Hey, why not?)

I am also a member of Mac|Life and Macworld.
Any other Mac-related FB pages or groups anyone can recommend?

~~~
FWIW, FB has served me well in many areas.
I have organized my high school class for a big collective 60th
birthday party in St Louis.
(The high school isn't in St Louis; it's in Mattoon IL. I am in San
Francisco CA)
I probably have about a third of my classmates as FB Friends.

Without FB this could not have been accomplished.
Classmates have been located whom none of us has heard from for 42
years. They're tickled to hear from old friends after all this time.
It's been fun for everyone, and all are looking forward to the big
party and schmoozing face-to-face with one another.

~~
Besides that, postings on FB are a source for one-stop info
gathering.
People post articles from journals, and there can be much enriching
discussion around the content.
Upcoming meetings are also gathered into one place, even if you have
not RSVP'd yet.

Yes, there is also crap. But it can be Hidden, Blocked,
Reported, or otherwise ignored.

When in Digest Mode, at the end of each and every message, the Low End
Mac Footer has been repeating over and over and over again with the
posting and the answer to it.

Usually, and in the other LEM Lists I receive (all in Digest Mode),
the footer does not carry over into the message to which one is
replying.
The LEM Footer appears only once at the end of the Digest.

On this particular post to which I am replying now, I have deleted the
footer, otherwise it'd appear twice in my answer here.

Yearly Apple Store Sale

2009-11-23 Thread Judith Berkowitz
As we all know, Apple products are fair trade; but one day each year,  
the day following Thanksgiving, some items go on sale for a 24-hour  
period:
This year that day is Friday November 25.

Anyone know the URL for the Apple Black Friday sale page?
I know it'll be in a holding pattern until 12:01AM Friday, but I like  
to be prepped.
