Re: open commands in finder

I use both, and  train people to use both. It depends on where your hands are I 
guess is the way I look at it.

Take care.

Hi,

For practical purposes they do the same thing. You can use one or the other, 
though i always use command-o for some reason. It doesn’t matter very much.
Best,
Zack.

Question about the jawbone jam box and using it with 2 devices.

[Matthew Carello]

Hello all. I use the Jawbone jam box with my IPhone and IPad. It seems no 
matter what I do it always tries to connect to the last device I used it with. 
Is there anyway without turning off bluetooth , because I use a bt keyboard, to 
not have it connect automatically without having the device forget the jam box 
every time I stop using it? Thanks for any help.

Re: Dock oddities

[Chris Apple boy]

Ar I see. Sorry for the confusion there. Well the only way I know to do 
it is:

1. Open the applications folder with command-shift-a in the Finder.
2. Highlight an application. This depends on the view you've set: icon, 
list or column. Applications have files ending in .app.

3. Press command-shift-control-t to add it to the dock.
Hope this helps.

Re: Dock oddities

[Sarah k Alawami]

I actually need to make  a list of what I need to add to my adendum for my 
mavericks series. I keep forgetting that cmd control shift t is now the new key 
stroke for the doc as we are all used to cmd shift t.

Take care to all and be blessed.

RE: Take Control Book Owners: Important Service Message: Please Read!

[David Griffith]

I am not sure I have any documentation as I had a laptop failure myself last
year when a tiny amount of spilt tea dripped onto the motherboard through a
USB port when I lost a load of emails. I will search back but I do not think
I go back that far now.

Looking on my DropBox I have copies of 
Take Control of Switching to the Mac
Take Control of Using Lion
Take control of  Upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I know I bought and started reading but cannot find 
Take Control of VMWare Fusion 

I tea I bought 

Take Control of Using Spotlight 
 But as I cannot find this and definitely did not  read it I would be
reluctant to insist I bought it especially if it involves you in any
expense.

The first set of books that I have copies of on my DropBox I am not that
bothered about as I suspect that they will not now be updated.

Sent: 10 April 2014 15:06
To: Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility
Subject: Take Control Book Owners: Important Service Message: Please Read!

Hello everybody

This message applies to those of you who have purchased Take Control books
via Mac Access.  Important:  If you have purchased books on our 80% discount
promotion, but you purchased via Travis Siegal at SoftCon.com, this does not
apply to you unless you notified us of your request for an online bookshelf
to be hosted here.

I am sorry to have to report that we have, at some point in the not too
distant past, suffered from a catastrophic systemic failure at one of our
power supply units.  This unit appears to have gone over-voltage before it
finally expired, taking two large capacity hard drives with it.

The net result of this failure was that our file transfer service and all of
the Take Control Books data have disappeared into oblivion.

The server itself can be, and is in the process of being restored.  That
will come back on line later today.  But the Take Control books issue is
somewhat more serious.  Our databases are backed up in 3 places or, should I
say, they were backed up in three places.  Sadly though, it appears that I
somehow neglected my usually rigid policy of total isolation once the backup
is made.  The only time it usually comes back on stream is when the
databases have changed radically, and are, therefore, obsolete at the backup
point of presence.  However, it appears that as a result of my current
workload, I neglected to take them off line and so the backups have also
disappeared into oblivion.

Therefore, I would request that if you have purchased books from us, and
assuming you still have documentation to that effect, would you please be so
kind as to forward any appropriate information to the support address, so
that I can rebuild the database and, therefore, restore your service.
Server passwords are not necessary, we do not require that information as
the server's database itself is currently in the process of being restored.

As for me, I can only apologise for my sheer negligence on this occasion.
I'm aware of the impact that this could have regarding the confidence of our
clients.  However, rest assured that nothing of a confidential nature has
been affected by this blunder, for want of a better word.  I have already
been severely reprimanded by my better half, but feel free to repeat the
exercise off list if you wish.  I would, however, request that any such
reprimands be dealt using socially acceptable language.  I never respond to
verbal abuse if it contains fowl language.  Indeed, that only gets my back
up further. :)

On a serious note, however, by way of an apology for any inconvenience, I
have been authorised by Lynne to make available any updated versions of
books which you have purchased, purely at our expense.  This in itself is
going to cost us quite a lot of money I would think, but I wish to ensure
that all of our clients know just how seriously we view this issue, and that
they are aware of our intention to make reparation for any lost confidence
which has ensued as a result of this issue.

If you don't contact the support address, I will have to assume that either
you no longer require this service, or else you have obtained replacements
elsewhere.  And finally, I would request that you contact us as quickly as
possible.  Once the new academic term begins on 22 April, I simply won't
have the time to action this for you immediately, so you'll then have to
wait until my next available free time slot.

Kindest regards
