Could not open folders on desktop
Yesterday I placed everything on my chaotic desktop into one folder to get some space to do something. I did some work and later I tried to get access to the clear-up folder but with no success. My HD icon resides on the desktop as does my download target folder. None would open. I could get to the files in needed in the clear-up folders by doing a search and opening that way, or by looking at Word's recent files. I shut the machine down. All was well and still is. But what was happening?

Re: Could not open folders on desktop
Hi Bill, I would think you had caused some corruption in Finder. When you are unable to open any files or folders in Finder, often moving the com.apple.finder.plist file found in (your user)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop then, Relaunch your Finder. --Force Quit--Finder--Relaunch fixes the problem. But, keeping your desktop clean is the best solution.

Re: Not waking
Hi Peter, Have you checked if a EFI and SMC Firmware update is available for your MacBook Pro? Some firmware updates for Intel-based Macs may not be displayed automatically using Software Update. Check your computer's EFI Boot ROM or SMC firmware version. 1. From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac. 2. Click More Info. 3. For OS X Lion, click 'System Report' 4. Open the Hardware section to reveal Model Identifier, Boot ROM version, and SMC version numbers. The version information is in the pane on the right This Apple Support document will then show you if there is a Firmware Update available for your model MBP. Check the Table shown at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 Note: In some cases System Profiler may report later versions of firmware than those listed below; if this is the case, your computer does not require any additional firmware updates. If your firmware version is lower than the one listed in this table, you should upgrade by following the link provided.

Re: Posting to mailing list soon for WAMUG members only
Hi Adrian I can't speak for the committee, but personally I think the set up is actually pretty good for what is actually supplied for the WAMUG list. They have two paid fees, the $30 member's fee and the $120 corporate fee. And I personally think the $30 is a bargain! Considering the ongoing running costs to keep everything going from hosting, domain name fees, server maintenance, list maintenance, support etc, let alone all the free given time that the Committee itself puts in for no reimbursement to keep it all running. I doubt you'd find anywhere these days where $30 goes that far. If you call Apple themselves for non Applecare queries, or a one off query you're looking at $99 per incident! Even most places will charge for email or phone support on a one off basis. There's very little these days for free given the cost of living, overheads and every day expenses. It's the nature of the world today unfortunately. I know even Ronni pays her $30/year membership and i think she's asked one query the whole time she's been on list!! lol :o) So she's really paying to give the support! lol ;o) I personally feel that just having the two fees is a lot easier to look after and just makes it more simple given the nature of the mailing list. And as mentioned, this really isn't that much for the amount of help that is received. Realistically I don't think much of the costings are used for non meeting attendees, well bar the new indemnity insurance required unfortunately that WAMUG now requires.
