Lion's Wi-Fi monitoring tool
For those of you who have made the switch to OS X 10.7 Lion, here is some more Lion goodness. This Mac World article shows how to launch a new Wi-Fi monitoring tool. http://www.macworld.com/article/162117/2011/09/monitor_wi_fi_with_lions_hidden_tool.html To summarize how one launches the tool: 1) In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices 2) Scroll down and launch Wi-Fi Diagnostics.app That's all! If you need to use the tool often you can add it to your Dock.

I have done the rebuild and synchronise account. 6. I have to send this from my iBook because I can't receive or send emails now. that after 4 5 Rick could now launch Mail, but not able to send or receive.

So I responded with instructions how to show the User ~/Library (otherwise known as the Home Library) in Lion OS X 10.7. You now have instructions how to find ~/Library - Mail Folder in both Lion Snow Leopard. But why do you even need to do this now? as you mentioned earlier that Hi Ronda!

Re: Aussie Politicos Demand iPads, IT ŒHeadaches¹ Ensue | Cult of Mac
Having been peripherally involved in the development of several generations of Standard Operating Environments for locking down PCs and Macs in large scale Enterprise environments over the last few decades, I can attest to the fact that securing and supporting iPhones and iPads can be significantly easier than desktop and laptop systems depending on how you want them remotely managed etc though not of course without a few issues. With built-in encryption, Exchange support, remote-wipe, Find My iPhone/iPad features, app level sand-boxing, App Store curation of all apps, remote profile features and gob-smackingly easy to use Multi-touch interfaces, iOS devices are virtually immune to malware (unlike malware-riddled Android and Windows), a piece of cake for toddlers to grandmothers to use and s much easier than our old corporate smartphone standard (Windows Mobile) to use and support that I tend to cough in disbelief when people poo-poo the iPad's enterprise cred. Yes I agree there are issues with provisioning of apps to users at a large scale and other gotchas that can be infuriating which Apple really needs to sort out, but for the first time ever, we find that the most Luddite middle manager or academic is actually keen to dabble with technology and *gasp* actually use it and not have it go flat halfway thru the day. For sure they aren't perfect and certainly not a silver bullet, but I am glad at the catalyst iOS devices have proved to be to get many corporates and businesses to move away from the old IE6-only activeX-hobbled, proprietary enterprise systems and embrace open standards and the consumerisation of IT.

Re: Aussie Politicos Demand iPads, IT ŒHeadaches¹ Ensue | Cult of Mac
I was just about to write a similar email to yours, Martin, but you have covered a lot of the security features of iOS that I would have mentioned. Apple has made a sustained effort to add ever more enterprise security features to iOS devices. I would like to stress the corporate profile feature. A corporate profile can be installed on an iOS device such that it cannot be removed without entering a password and wiping the device clean. The profile can be as restrictive or as open as corporate policy dictates. For instance one can disable the installation of apps, disable the camera, disable Safari, disable iTunes, disable YouTube etc, etc.. Depending on the intended use of the iPad these restrictions are not usually necessary. I would venture to say that an iOS device if far more secure than a Windows computer or even than a Mac. IT departments are often staffed by technicians with a string of Microsoft certifications. Many are openly hostile to Apple products and will come up with any number of reasons as to why they can't be deployed. To show they are wrong, here are some notes from the latest Apple post earnings report conference call. 91% of Fortune 500 are using or testing iPhone as a primary device, including major corporations like Nestle, Dow Chemical, Glaxo Smith Kline, and Comcast. In addition, 57% of all Fortune 500 are similarly deploying or testing the iPhone. 47 percent of Global 500 companies are testing or deploying iPad. 86 percent of Fortune 500 are deploying or testing the iPad, up from 75% during the previous quarter. Many airlines are now issuing iPads to their pilots to replace flight manuals and to run various navigation and safety check programs. I haven't heard anyone conjecture that the pilots will just use their iPad to play Angry Birds. :-) As to why the politicians need iPads, the potential uses are so numerous that I am certain areas could be found where it will make their life easier. Even if it means something as simple as being able to search for documents while the house is sitting without having to open up a notebook computer in plain sight.

A corporate profile can be installed on an iOS device such that it cannot be removed without entering a password and wiping the device clean. The profile can be as restrictive or as open as corporate policy dictates. For instance one can disable the installation of apps, disable the camera, disable Safari, disable iTunes, disable YouTube etc, etc.. Depending on the intended use of the iPad these restrictions are not usually necessary. Just as a small corollary to all of this, and by way illustration of just how enlightened some IT departments can be, I regularly communicate with someone who is clearly a victim of their IT department's progressive policies. This person works for a well know government-controlled health insurance company. The Excel files he sends me are in a format which is too old to be opened in Numbers. I'm wondering if they've even outgrown IE6...

Re: Mail Problem - Huge
Thanks all, my problem is fixed now, I still don't why the triplicate emails but may be attributable to 1. Not enough useable Hard Disk space. 2. Using Mail as an archive for ALL emails AND attachments. 3. With all the triplicate emails - this filled up the little available space on hard drive and then Mail could do anything because it was overloaded. 4. SOLUTION: One WD 2Tb External Drive from OfficeWorks ($98) then I was able to follow through with the advice from the group easily. Thanks, Rick.

Re: Mail Problem - Huge
Hi Ronni! Sorry about the Lion oversight! I now have a Library/mail folder in Lion but can't get it to work in Snow Leopard . I'm still getting duplicates BUT only WAMUG messages! Also, when I type in chflags nohidden ~/Library/ in terminal I get ch flags nohidden ~/Library/and I definitely did not put a space between ch flags - it insisted on doing it by itself! HO-HUM!

Re: Mail Problem - Huge
Hi Robert, In Snow Leopard the User Library is NOT hidden, you don’t use Terminal to show Library in Snow Leopard! It is shown in Snow Leopard. The User Library in Snow Leopard is located on your Macintosh HD Users Folder your Username Library. What operating system ARE you using Apple Mail in? In Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 OR Lion OS X 10.7? You have me completely confused …. I will be heading out to see a client soon, and then I will be away for the week-end. I might not be able to get back to you until Monday if you require anymore help. Cheers, Ronni On 09/09/2011, at 11:35 AM, Robert Miller-Eves wrote: Hi Ronni! Sorry about the Lion oversight!
