Re: [MacGroup] blocking associated extra cookies?

[preston....@twc.com]

Well, some sites’ cookies, like my bank and YouTube for instance, do re-appear. 
 Perhaps the only site-cookie I retain is for eBay, but if the tag-along 
cookies are insistant and continue to re-appear, I’ll need to clear ALL of them 
and maybe also Quit Safari.  So it's then necessary to log back into the sites 
I want.  Annoying.

[MacGroup] blocking associative cookies??

[preston....@twc.com]

Is there an app that will block those associative cookies?

I visit a website.  Their own cookie(s) is to be expected.

But then, I check my Safari Prefs cookie list to find about two dozen others.  
At least.

A preferred option would be a checkbox next to each to block any tag-along 
associated cookie.

Anything available?

Thanks.  

I did read them, but none of those links seem to be specific enough to enable

Any specific references towards the third-party items you/they have mentioned?

I might have expected a checkbox in the accumulated cookie list to either

Re: [MacGroup] Is this for real?

[preston....@twc.com]

Don’t know if this would solve your problem, but if you haven’t already, get 
and use Malwarebytes for Mac (free) anytime something like this shows up.  If 
it finds anything, you can use the app to clean the found problem(s) from your 
system.

the update.  Had to search and find a dedicated .dmg for the update, and then 
do the update with the boot volume offline.  Same thing has happened going from

It’s only automatic if the app is setup to do so for a “smart download” under

Re: [MacGroup] MacGroup Digest, Vol 106, Issue 20

[preston....@twc.com]

From earlier history on this issue:
I did find a different link, one for a dedicated update to an existing ver. 
10.13.2 — and THEN it only worked with an inactive disk (started up from a 
cloned backup) to accept the update.  I’m now running ver. 10.13.3 without any 
apparent problem.  

What I’m wondering about now is the AppStore’s update status of ver. 10.13.3, 
and its lacking of any history of my past downloads of the new version and 
subsequent attempts to update from there, after the Notification update notice 
came to my computer.

Thanks, all.

No, I hadn't.  But since, the update is no longer available from the AppStore 
when I now check.  When I view the current UPDATE status from the AppStore, it 
does not show [any] history of an update/download of ver. 10.13.3 having 
occurred, although I attempted an update/download several times.

[preston....@twc.com]

Apparently, the update had problems.  I checked this morning at 3:30 and now I 
see NO update available, nor a history of it having been updated by me locally. 
 Perhaps something was actually wrong (surprise) with the released update, and 
they’re fixing it now.

[MacGroup] FOLLOWUP: Twice-failed install…

[preston....@twc.com]

After install attempts using five variations, I’ve tried one that has gone 
around the fact that the links I tried did not allow an overwrite of the ACTIVE 
system.

I then restarted using my backup system disk (external independent start-up HD).

Using a saved d/l of a specific link for updating over an existing Mac OS X 
ver. 10.13.2, I updated the main/primary system HD when NOT active.  This 
worked.

Can anyone explain why?

Pls & thx,

Re: [MacGroup] Twice-failed install of new macOS X update (ver. 10.13.3)

[preston....@twc.com]

John,

Mine is a Mac mini, mid-2010 (Macmini4.1) — previously running MacOS X ver. 
10.13.2, updated using the AppStore’s link.  No install oddities.

Alert showed an AppStore update available for MacOS X ver. 10.13.3; d/l

Re: [MacGroup] Twice-failed install of new macOS X update (ver. 10.13.3)

[preston....@twc.com]

Tom,

This is a Mac mini, mid-2010 (Macmini4.1) — previously running MacOS X ver. 
10.13.2, updated using the AppStore’s link.  No install oddities.

Yes, I ran DiskWarrrier, minor corrections made, but after that, the new OS 
install still didn’t work over the existing 10.13.2

Also tried a different installer link specific for updating over 10.13.2, but 
same failure result.

Used AppStore source, and another specific for existing ver. 10.13.2 .
Observed all expected actions during d/l, restart, and install — but the result

Hello,

Currently using a backup wired keyboard.

My Apple wired full-function extended keyboard just quit working.  The [only]

Does anyone have one of these, fully functioning, that you would part with?  
It’s a model A1048, I think; white/clear, and elevated to the back.

Something (remotely) similar happened to me, although I can’t explain the

I would delete cookies, and moments later they would return, also reflecting

many) bad sectors.  After the drive was replaced, the problem no longer

Then my next best work-around will be to make an alias onto the Desktop of the 
most common folder I write to.  No problem then.

Thanks again, Lee.

Re: [MacGroup] MacGroup Digest, Vol 102, Issue 65

[preston....@twc.com]

Thanks Lee.

Before up’g to 10.12/10.13, I was using 10.11.6 without this noticeable 
addition (that I could tell), because at first after going to 10.11, I was able 
to use Get Info to allow access to the other access categories.  On occasion, I 
write to the desktop or the HD and later distribute it to an appropriate folder.

I’ve now done a web search (Bing) to find numerous hits about this.  Is it a 
real danger to disable this csrutil program?

[MacGroup] OS X 10.13 repair permissions?…

HD window shows the line-through-pencil graphic at top of Finder window. 

Did a Get Info on the HD, unlocked it, attempted to change access 
(permissions), then get the message telling me that I don’t have permission to 
change permissions on my HD.

In earlier OS X versions, wasn’t repair permissions available in Disk Utility?  
Can’t find it now.  Various searches in Finder Help, Disk Utility Help, web 
search, etc., yield no help.

Re: [MacGroup] Help needed for photo-edit utility app…

[preston....@twc.com]

Yes, I used that early on, but if I remember correctly, it still left 
“artifacts” that were still identifying the app, etc., so I chose to use the 
three apps and never looked back, even though it may now be usable for my 
purposes.  No matter what the origin, SmallImage removed most everything I was 
concerned with and it was quick and easy.

[MacGroup] Help needed for photo-edit utility app…

[preston....@twc.com]

I’ve just moved up to Sierra, then a day later to High Sierra.

So…
…I previously used a photo-edit app called SmallImage.

“SmallImage is a simple and efficient tool to batch process JPEG files, resize 
them, recompress them, remove embedded profiles and make them ready for the web 
or store them efficiently. SmallImage also lets you retreive informations about 
your JPEG files, like metadata, EXIF informations, comments and so on.”

This app does not run on the newer Mac OS X (10.12 or 10.13).

Does anyone have suggestions to accomplish the same edits as SmallImage?

Thanks,

Just don’t trip over that extension cord.  Don’t cover it either, as it might

not to mention an urgent visit from the fire department!

 John,
 
 The computer is plugged into a surge protector / power strip.
 
 Any clue on how I would determine if it is the power strip or the 
 computer?? I can rule out the power strip by plugging it directly into an 
 outlet, a different one than the powerstrip is currently plugged into.
 
 I’ll give that a try.
 
 BTW the computer restarted sometime in the last couple of hours.

Re: [MacGroup] Trouble in Safari paradise

[preston....@twc.com]

I’d start by restoring the default prefs.  If that’s not it, then delete his 
Safari prefs and try making them anew.  After that, maybe use an anti-malware 
app and scan the system for no-good nicks.  I use the free one from 
Malwarebytes (Anti-Malware For Mac).  Just a couple of suggestions, but I hope 
this helps.

Hi,

I use an older non-iCloud version of PhS Elements, ver. 9, so I don’t (nor do I

Photoshop CC are separate downloads to/from iCloud.

More information:

If this is an ‘option’, there's a thingy called “Click to Flash”, affording a

leave much of an option, but at least with this, you can choose use or not use.

Re: [MacGroup] was I hacked

Try getting the ‘free’ version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and run it daily

Well, it's only that when playing Chess, Watson follows the rules & regs 
entered for it to follow.  Seems most likely that is should be an equivalent 
situation with the tax app.

Perhaps you could turn off your Safari extensions, then try some of the similar

Re: [MacGroup] Help with printing

[preston....@twc.com]

Richard,

Have you…  (1) merely found that all [output] has the offending line on it, 
or  (2) actually opened and examined the paper in the drawer to find the 
garbage was on all sheets?

Since it’s not an online issue, my best guesses are…
If (1), likely there’s a problem with the drum roller, or some contaminated 
foreign matter on the corona wire or in the toner hopper.
Or (2), someone else has loaded your paper drawer with preprinted garbage.

different start-up disk if altering the system disk).
I use it with no issues or problems, although full defragmention does take a 
while.: )

 The first thing to check is if there’s at least 5100 MB of space available 
 on the disk. If not, you’ll have to delete some stuff.
 
 Given there’s enough space on the disk, you’ll have to defragment it 
 somehow. DiskWarrior has defragmentation capability, as do most other disk 
 utilities such as TechTool—but not Apple’s Disk Utility. Another way is to 
 copy the files to another disk, delete them from the original and copy 
 them back.
 
 I’ve not defragged a Mac this century, so I don’t know how well the tools 
 in DiskWarrior and TechTool do the job. It’s generally not necessary, 
 unless you regularly work with files that are so individually huge they 
 take up a large portion of your hard drive. With drives in the multi-TB 
 range, this is getting pretty uncommon. If you find you really need to 
 defrag a drive, you probably need a bigger drive.

Re: [MacGroup] TIVO

[preston....@twc.com]

Harry,

I don’t have a direct answer to your question/problem, but have used a local TV 
Service/Repair place you might check out to see if they repair TIVO units.  
Andy’s TV Sales & Service — across from Oxmoor Plaza on Shelbyville Rd., 
425-1497.

Re: [MacGroup] Still Backing up when "Failed to enable ownership"

[preston....@twc.com]

Occasionally, something similar has happened to me involving that ‘end of file’ 
thingy on a particular JPEG file.  
For this file, however, permissions didn’t seem to be the problem; made a copy 
of the file to replace the original, could then work with it normally, 
including a SuperDuper! backup.
