Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

[cm]

Hi Wamuggers and in particular those in the Mac service sector,

This article on AppleInsider tells of a new Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/08/apple_issues_lion_recovery_disk_assistant_for_external_drives.html

or here is the Apple knowledge base entry and download link.

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433

Using the utility, one can make a copy of the hidden Lion OS X 10.7 Recovery to 
an external drive. To quote the Apple KB entry:

"The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets you create Lion Recovery on an external 
drive that has all of the same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: 
reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine 
backup, or browse the web with Safari."

One note of interest is that if one makes copy of the recovery from a computer 
on which Lion was install via a download from the App Store, then that external 
Recovery can be used on any Mac, whereas if one makes the external Recovery 
copy from a newly purchased Mac, then the Recovery can only be used with that 
very same, newly purchased, computer.

Cheers,
Carlo

Just a FYI a bit off topic, NSW had on line voting for the State elections in 
March 2011. My wife and I did so, easy.

eCensus

[Tim Law]

Bring on on line voting for election.

It's great to see how this technology is being used, without apparent m
drama or concerns about privacy, and it means the data can collated quicker
and used for all our benefit.

Seeing this is working fine, Bring on on line voting for elections!

It's great to see how this technology is being used, without apparent major
drama or a big concerns about privacy, and it means the data can collated
quicker and used for all our benefit.

Imagine an election when you didn't have to line up, and the results be
known much quicker. It'd spoil the election night tally room BBQ party
tho

Re: input manager

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

As I mentioned in my previous emails, by deleting the InputManagers your 
computer should be more stable.
An unstable computer is often related to the use of InputManagers. 

"Since Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Apple no longer support Input Managers and 
it’s no longer recommended to install applications using this technology. 
An unstable computer is often related to the use of InputManagers. 
These are located in this directory:

Your HD / Library / InputManagers or your Home / Library / InputManagers”

Ronni

Hi Peter,

I’m sorry about the confusion I caused you, I’m not sure I understand myself at 
the moment ;-)
I’ve been having “one of those days”, which has been going on for almost a week 
now :-(

CheckUp for Mac version 3.0.2 is optimized for OS X 10.7 Lion.

Now you have deleted any InputManagers your Mac should be more stable  … unless 
there is other underlying problems.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni
I'm not quite sure that I understand you!
According to CheckUp (in the  it does work in Snow Leopard and Lion.
There is no file named com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent in the /Library/LaunchDeamons 
file
I may have got this mixed up as it appears part of you email is missing?

Looking in the file Barry Sextone suggested found LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader 
folder with LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.bundle in it. Removing this to the trash 
removed the alert from CheckUp.
 
I'm still not sure why the InputManagers folder didn't show up in the find 
search?

Re: input manager

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Peter,

I seem to have misread your question.

You are not concerned with uninstalling CheckUp for Mac, you are concerned 
about Input Managers.

Since Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Apple no longer support Input Managers and 
it's
no longer recommended to install applications using this technology. An 
unstable computer 
is often related to the use of InputManagers. These are located in this 
directory:

Your HD / Library / InputManagers or your Home / Library / InputManagers

You should remove all items in this folder and restart your Mac.

Hope this answers your question.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Peter,

CheckUp for Mac does NOT work in Snow Leopard. Another 

1. Delete the file named com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent
located in /Library/LaunchDeamons

2. Delete the Application located in the Applications folder

3. Restart your computer.

Re: Firefox update

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Chris,

I've been getting the same pop-ups - I was going to try 5.0.1 but, at the
first step, I got a dialog warning that it was not compatible with some of
my add-ons - since one of these was the 1Password extension, that made it a
no-go for me.

I'm happy to wait.

I don't know what the current update does but from experience I recommend
that you do a back-up before updating. Twice now all my bookmarks have been
wiped some how during the update process.
