Re: Istat Menus v 3
Hi Ronni, I'll follow suit - in situ - Hi James, I can't remember if you gave a reason why you originally deleted iStat Menus 4.22 and then tried to install iStat Menus v3.2.7? I tried it and didn't like the way it displayed the CPU and I/O data actions Are you sure the iStatMenus v3.2.7 installer is not corrupted. I didn't think this version was still available to download. The current versions of iStat Menus are 5.03 OS X 10.8+ required - or you can download iStat Menus 4.22 I've no real way of knowing, other than I am having problems with the install.

James Booted prog from Application folder got dialogue box - iStat Menus 3 (needs to upgrade some components before it can be used) following boxes already ticked - install for all users download sensors module (required for temps fans) move to applications folder What did you move to applications folder? iStat Menus apparently did the move - don't know why, other than to replace with the 'new updated' version (the upgrade menu covers most of the selections except Battery and Combined, whose boxes stay in the on position) Upgrade - click asks for password - supplied Upgrade dialogue box disappears and none of the selection boxes will retain their On status for more than 3 seconds Is iStat Menus showing in the top Menu bar on your Desktop? No, though it still shows in the Applications folder. It's not working, so Uninstall clicked from the menu bar. the next dialogue box suggests that uninstalling will move the app to the trash and remove all other related files ( the trash has been emptied before the next step) click uninstall password required iStat Menus no longer on the screen, iStat\ Menus_892.app and Monument 2.2.2ipa in trash but AppTrap intervenes suggesting that in moving an app to the trash, I might want to move it's associated system files too move files selected com.bjango.istatmenus.plist added to trash trash emptied used Find Any File to search out any remnants - it found istat in - ~library/logs/iStat Menus/istatmenus_install.log ~library/Caches/iStatPro ~library/Caches/com.bjango.istatmenus ~library/Logs/iStat Menus ~library/Widgets/iStat Pro.wdgt (though I think this doesn't relate to the problem) Did you delete the above files (in red bold) and Empty the Trash? Yes, except the last, as I think it belongs to the widget, and thus shouldn't be a problem? Also look in Macintosh HD /Library LaunchAgents delete com.bjango.istatlocal.plist Not present Also delete in HD /Library LaunchDaemons com.bjango.istatlocaldaemon.plist Not present I can't remember if iStat Menus v3 was also in System Preferences The Library is under the top level of Macintosh HD, not your user library. Edit: You can also find the uninstaller in Macintosh HD Library Application Support iStat local Uninstaller.app Not present Empty the Trash Restart your MacBook Pro On another external drive I have a fully functional v3. Perhaps copying all the files to the appropriate places? Is there a reason why you haven't upgraded your MBP? You have Yosemite 10.10.1 on an external... Snow Leopard is a vintage OS and no longer supported. I'm surprised that you've not noticed the Luddite who's wedded to AppleWorks and Eudora. I have files in both 12+ years. I do have a .mac address, used principally for Apple, and shy away from the uncomfortable functioning of Mail. OK - one day . . . . and I'm sure you've published a 'how to', and a 'why you should', though I can't find it ;-) Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 CleanMyMac automatic application uninstaller dialogue box appeared wanting to help uninstall the app correctly - clicked Uninstall - nothing to uninstall. 17 MacBook Pro 5.1 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 8 GB / 750GB @7200 running OS X 10.6.8 and OS X 10.10.1 externally Cheers, James-- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Data transfer MBPro to imac
Hi Wamuggers I have just returned home from my work off Gabon, with a jam packed hard disk on my MBPro (Snow Leopard) and I would like to transfer data to my new imac (Mavericks) and I just cant remember (or find anything) on how to do it, which is really frustrating? Both machines have thunderbolt and I have tried connecting them but without success, and am not sure if I need to use Target mode to do this? I would be most grateful for any advice to assist me with this as I just cant seem to work it out!

Re: Backup App for Windoze ?
Thanks Peter … I will take a look at that. I agree with Ronni’s sentiments too. But I am a Mac User just trying to assist my elderly mother. Tell you what though ! About 12 months ago I thought I would become a member of the Yorkshire Mac Users Group (YMUG) in the UK simply because that is my childhood stamping ground. Well …. I have never seen so much NON MAC related chatter. It is more like a social club. Stuff like: Going bike riding on Saturday from X to X. Who would like to join me and finish at the X pub for a few pints? Went to Spain for a couple of weeks and had a great holiday. Etc, Etc. I got so fed up with it I have tried to block the emails from members. But I am still struggling to stop them all using RULES. Can’t wait for my membership to expire.
