Re: OT Going Solar Power. - longish reply

[Joe Mastrella]

Greetings! Your post was very informative and to the point. The only point
you did not cover is the installation of a battery system to supply power in
the evenings. I think the most important aspect of building a solar home is
to build your home using insulation in the form of Styrofoam or Polystyrene
blocks with rebar and cement infill. The second most important is your point
on building orientation. The third is the placement and use of thermal mass.
The utility cost savings with the use of solar hot water and photovoltaic
systems can be increased by proper building orientation use of thermal mass,
insulating double or triple pane windows, super insulation and an
experienced building contractor.

Cheers, Joe

Re: How Apple And The iPad Could Destroy The Mac | Opinion | Mac360.com

[Joe Mastrella]

Greetings! If I can put in my two cents. I believe that with the
introduction of the iPad, Apple in the not to distant future will introduce
an Apple Tele -Vision appliance That will be your computer, iPhone and
television. The integration of all these Apple appliances will be available
in the very near future.
As the iPhone and the iPad have been revolutionary products, the logical
next step is an integrated visual and communication device. We will have to
wait to see what our supreme commander at the mother ship has in store for
us. So far so good.

Cheers, Joe

Re: Permissions Problem

Thank you James. My problem was I had downloaded a 10.5 up grade. I used
appzaper to remove the app and down loaded the proper 10.4.11 app. and all
is well. For those of you who have not tried PTH Past board, give it a look.
It sure is handy.

[Joe Mastrella]

Greetings! I use a little program called PTH paste board. I find this
program very useful. I downloaded the new up grade and when I try to install
the program I get a dialog box

Preferences error can not load PTHPasteboard.

I have repaired permissions.

In my Library folder I notice that there are 3 preference items.

Please help.

Re: WD External drive

Re: How to create an action to delete one type of ju nk mail without changing the other junk mail settin gs in Mail app

Greetings To all! I have read many quires about email. The easiest way to
solve these problems is to use Gmail. Gmail will do whatever you wish and
has many ways to accomplish how you set up your email account. It's free,
very secure and accessible from any computer any where.

I wish every one a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Re: Systems, partitions, applications, Oh My (apologies to AA Milne)

[Joe Mastrella]

Greetings!
If you are using or are planning to use multiple external HD make sure to
purchase HDs from different manufactures. Our club in California suggested
to our members that two external HD backups was three times as safe. Some of
our members purchased Western Digital (WD) HDs. Unfortunately WD had a batch
(large amount) of faulty drives shipped to the western US. You can see where
this is leading. I keep a  64 MG flash drive for very important backups of
files generated that day. Our data is important to us, be it photos, video,
music or documents. When you lose a terabite HD, It's a traumatic
experience. Be careful how you configure your back up strategies.

Cheers, Joe

Re: iMac wont start - shows a no-entry sign on grey screen

[Joe Mastrella]

Me again! If your or any ones HD is defective do not discard it without
disabling it. There are a number of ways of doing this. If you have access
to an electric drill, drill a hole about 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the center of
the HD. This will ensure that no data can or will be recoverable.

Cheers, Joe

Re: iMac wont start - shows a no-entry sign on grey screen

[Joe Mastrella]

Greetings! Back at our club in the States (California) we had a monthly
clinic for our members. When ever we replaced a hard drive that was shown to
be faulty we would install the faulty HD in a HD enclosure and low and
behold it mounted. This happened about 80 percent of the time. i do not know
why but we were able to recover all the data. So do not discard your old HD.
Buy a case and give it another chance.

Thanks Pete for the advice. I can purchase an iPhone at my local Apple
store. What I do not know, is the iPhone sold here in the states the
same as the iPhone sold in Australia. I have been advised to purchase
an iPhone in Au.

Good morning! It's 6:40 AM on Saturday (Concord, CA.). I am an
electrician by trade. As to the local, it should be some ware in the
Pilbara. I do not know exactly where I will be working. I will be
working out of the union hall. I don't have much control as to which
job I can take.

Thanks, Joe

Greetings! I am planing to travel to Western Australia in the very
near future. I have been following your comments on this message board
and must say I am impressed with your knowledge of the hardware and
software. Your willingness to share your knowledge and help each other
is also impressive. If you have the time I would like to meet some of
you at Mac World. I will be at the Mac User Group booth on Thursday
(the 8th) from 2pm to 4pm.
