This is all going by memory: Don't click Connect Click on Show Certificate instead. At the top of the certificate it will show a bit of text that may be interesting to read. In particular look for any drop down box and as long as it looks legitimate, click -Always Connect. See how that goes. A further option relates to these certificates being stored in Keychain Access, which is in Applications:Utilities In the left pane of Keychain Access is a heading called certificates. I was going to say have a poke around in there and see if there are any problems. But using the words 'poke around' is fraught with risk and danger, so great care needs to be taken to not delete or change anything that could cause you a problem. Sometimes there might be two certificates, one outdated, one current. If it were me doing my own poking around, I'd delete the out of date one.

Re: Firewire transfer
Susan You definitely have to have migration assistant open on both machines and when asked if a code shows on the source computer, you can then press Continue. It gives the source computer about 10 seconds then comes up with the source computer is not responding and you then have only one option of cancelling the migration. You do this and it takes about 2 minutes to respond to that. Immediately that happens, on the source computer, the code comes up, but its too late because you have cancelled on the other machine! You can press continue on the source machine but it has no effect. Tim I also heard that Firewire was the way to go. Anyone have any ideas on the restarting thing? There's no mention of it in any of the many pages i've read so far. All the instructions I have read so far carry on with instructions as if there will be no problems. Could it be something to do with sharing settings on the new machine?

Re: Mail oddities
Thanks for you answers, Ronni In point 1, I was under the impression that on a Mac, if you highlight some text, hold the mouse down and move it, it would move the text not duplicate it? I must be wrong on that, sorry. I do know about cut and paste. On point 2, what you say should happen, but it doesn't! It used to paste where I had hi-lt, in the font of the hi-lit text, now it pastes on the line above in its original font. Point 3, I highlight the appointments and copy, place the cursor at the appropriate position in the email and paste. The order varies each time no matter what order I select them in calendar. (This is why I wanted to just move text around in point 1) I like my 9:00am appt to appear before the 10am one, lol. It just annoying. Point 4. I have a default signature which appears on every new email. 3 times a day, I send these emails to employees, all of which have a signature that I have made for each. So, I open new message, the default sig appears, I go to signature drop down and select the appropriate signature, press that, and it appears, below my default signature. This did not used to happen Moving text did move it. Pasting over existing text did place it there in the format of the replaced text and it did place it there, not on the line above or below. Changing signatures did replace the default signature, not add to it! Obviously my mail program is somehow corrupted to some degree. Is there any way I can repair it or replace it? I would have thought upgrading to ML would have fixed it, but it seems to have made it worse if anything. I have also run disk utilities repair.

On your Mac in System Preferences iCloud you should have selected the same items as in iCloud settings on your iPad. To keep Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes in Sync with your Mac iOS devices in iCloud; if you sync an iOS device both with iTunes and with iCloud, you’ll encounter sync loops that lead to endless duplication of data—especially calendar and contact items. So, it’s not enough simply to turn iCloud syncing ON; you must also turn iTunes syncing OFF for these types of data, if it isn’t off already! To do this, follow these steps: 1. Connect your iOS device to your computer. 2. Open iTunes. 3. Select your device in the sidebar on the left. 4. In the main part of the iTunes window, click Info. 5. If any of the following items are checked, uncheck them: Sync Address Book Contacts, Sync iCal Calendars, Sync Safari Bookmarks, and Sync Notes. 6. Click Apply. The selected data types stop syncing via iTunes and instead will sync via iCloud only. iCloud treats the version of your data that’s in the cloud as authoritative. So if you have everything setup correctly in iCloud and the correct Data is showing in your iCloud account (in the ‘Cloud’) it should all sync correctly.

Re: Speaking of backups
So if you have everything setup correctly in iCloud and the correct Data is showing in your iCloud account (in the ‘Cloud’) it should all sync correctly. Unlikely, I think thats why the problems occurred Every time I try to do anything with iCloud I end up getting duplicate appointments that take me ages to get rid of. There seem to be so many preference settings - ical/itunes/ipad/system preferences/icloud/mobileme, that all have to be done right that a layman like myself manages to get wrong every time. and every time I have tinkered with it, I stuff it up. I made the mistake this morning succumbing to the temptation and all my calendars went back to 2 weeks ago approx and all these duplicates appeared again. The calendar in my iPad is correct atm. Can I not wipe the data on ical on my desktop and then sync with iTunes with the Sync all calendars ticked. I desperately don't want to lose the data on the iPad atm. The iPad was sync'ed yesterday at 11:41 but if I sync it now and the data on the iPad calendar disappears OMG I have tried to find out where that iTunes backup of ical is, and protect it, but no way can I find it. Another day down the tube...

On your Mac in System Preferences iCloud you should have selected the same items as in iCloud settings on your iPad. To keep Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes in Sync with your Mac iOS devices in iCloud; if you sync an iOS device both with iTunes and with iCloud, you’ll encounter sync loops that lead to endless duplication of data—especially calendar and contact items. So, it’s not enough simply to turn iCloud syncing ON; you must also turn iTunes syncing OFF for these types of data, if it isn’t off already! To do this, follow these steps: 1. Connect your iOS device to your computer. 2. Open iTunes. 3. Select your device in the sidebar on the left. 4. In the main part of the iTunes window, click Info. 5. If any of the following items are checked, uncheck them: Sync Address Book Contacts, Sync iCal Calendars, Sync Safari Bookmarks, and Sync Notes. 6. Click Apply. The selected data types stop syncing via iTunes and instead will sync via iCloud only. iCloud treats the version of your data that’s in the cloud as authoritative. So if you have everything setup correctly in iCloud and the correct Data is showing in your iCloud account (in the ‘Cloud’) it should all sync correctly.

To STOP your iPad from syncing in iTunes when you connect it: 1. While connecting the iPad to the computer on a Mac. Hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPad from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the Devices list. 2.

Re: Recurring emails
Thanks Daniel Geoff Prolly would go for the donotre...@masterwindowcleaners.com type thing but not if I can't find some way of automating it. (and I would be checking it) There is a script out there for post-dating emails but not on a regular basis :( It sends a draft which then disappears. I truly find it hard to believe that no-one has ever needed this before! In the case of a service business like mine that is trying to move with technology and give customer service to their regular clients... Reminders are essential for some, not all, forgetful clients. You soon get to know which is which. Maybe this is destined for the Too hard basket.

Often we do a few clients all in the same area at the same time of the quarter and to have to return to that area the next week costs time and money. When you see a do not reply on an email message it is normally because the message is generated by a script which uses the server's mail program, rather than a person using a mail program on their computer. There is no way that a recipient can be prevented from replying to such a message (or any message), but the reply goes to an address which just ignores it. You could mimic this behaviour by setting up an account for reminders with a return address which (using a rule in your mail program) sends any replies straight to the trash. As to the first part of your question, we would write a system to do this from scratch, but I am not sure if you could find anything off the shelf. I do not think it is something that a mail program could be set to do, but I might be wrong about that. Depending on what support your web hosting service provides, it might be possible to set up a cron job to do it, but this requires some Unix skills and could get complex. Regards Geoff -- Geoff and Kaye k...@kgweb.org.au One thing I'd be a bit weary of here, and apologies if this sounds nitpicky or harsh, it's not meant to. But I wouldn't create an account and then have a rule sending it straight to the trash. My reasoning behind that would be, that if the email client is receiving it, then although you're not reading it, the email is being received for the rule to send it to the trash. So from the clients end, even though it might not be a no reply account, if they did reply to it saying I don't need it this week etc thanks...the email account would still read it and throw it out. So someone could then come back and say...well I did email you and tell you. What a better option would be (as long as you don't have a catch all email address being run on your domain), would be to use something like nore...@masterwindowcleaners.com. As long as this isn't a valid email address or a valid mailbox (or the account doesn't have a catch all system), then that address would simply bounce. Therefor it's not received at all. And it's done server end. Any address that is sent and goes through a server system to email to be filed by a rule,..in theory still has been received. So the client at the other end doesn't get notified. Yet a dead email address would simply bounce back to the client with a bounce message. (I hope that makes sense. I don't think I made myself very clear,..lol). I don't know of anything for the reminder off hand though I'm afraid. I know iCal can sent out reminders, but they're normally done at the time of booking in the appointment. You could possibly do something in Automator, similar to this http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/birthday-alarms-automated-email-notifications-and-ical-mac-only/ But re-writing it to use iCal info to send out email reminders to people.

When prompted, just enter your Apple ID and password -- the same Apple ID and password that you use for iTunes. Any credit that you have in iTunes in gift cards will be available in the App Store, and if you have entered a credit card number in iTunes, the same credit card will be used for Mac App Store purchases. I had a quick look a FreeMemory but did not download and run it. It seems that when you run FreeMemory a small text area appears in you menu bar at the top of the screen showing how much free memory you have.

If you buy an app in iTunes, then it is for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. There is, however, the Mac App Store which sells apps for the Mac. This has an icon in the Dock if you are running a recent enough version of OS X. Also, any program for the Mac that you download from the internet or install from a CD ROM would also be an app for the Mac. What version of OS X are you running so I can determine if you have the Mac App Store application?

Re: Printers.......
I have a Samsung 6210FX. The toner cartridges seem to have less than the normal one would expect from a Laser. About a year ago, I started having problems with printing anything with graphics on it. If I want to print 10 copies, it will print one then shut down, then start up again and print the next and so on. I rang their service section and they wanted to update the firmware (last time, they did from their end) This time they couldn't do it that way and sent me a USB thumbdrive which cannot be loaded from a Mac. The tech was stumped. I cannot even do it through VMware Fusion either. Hence I will probably follow Daniels advice about buying a Brother.

Not to mention that the AU$ is higher than the US$ Can I purchase a USA version or would I be stopped if the application noticed my address being in Oz?

If I try to put it in trash it says I cannot as it is owned by root What do I do? I also am thinking of getting rid of the old system 9. how do I go about this?

Re: previous system

re:freezing mouse
My mouse has started acting weirdly lately too. First, it started alternating between fast and slow tracking, now it freezes regularly for between 1 and 45 or so seconds. any input would be appreciated.

OS10 Printer settings
Whenever I print on my Epson 760, the default is colour which I only print in 10% of the time. Anyone know how I can change this cos the annoying thing is that when the print monitor comes up, I have to move the window up as when I choose print settings from the OS10 printer settings panel, the window extends down below the bottom of the screen and that is where the print button is. I wouldn't mind doing this 10% of the time but 90% is annoying as it always reverts to colour.

Cable
I am on the ellenbrook cable and after numerous messages to iinet, i have reached exasperation point. I have been trying to ascertain the download speed i should normally expect. I currently get between 1 to 12 kps and my lady friend who has adsl gets between 20 to 50 kps. Now, considering that I have a 256k modem, what should I receive? Iinet will only tell me that idsl and cable are different (which i keep telling them, I know) and will not even give me a ballpark figure. another point to consider is that i have a 500 meg download limit and my friend who has adsl has a 3 gig limit, i am wondering if i am getting a new tv program (shafted) I also do not believe the Ellenbrook cable is overcrowded atm. any ideas?

Re: Telstra Online Billing
I think that Telstra are using the same PR and programming people as NAB. I have been trying to use this for some time now. They just don't make it easy. By the time you receive your digital certificate, you've forgotten why you applied for it then if you're unfortunate enough to remember, you go on the dubious track of going through the registration of your computer. I think they have designed this process to deter as many people as possible from using this facility. BTW don't upgrade your browser cos you'll lose everything and then when you ask their help line why, they'll say didn't you keep your original pin number to access the digital certificate in a holier than thou fashion. If all this sounds too hard you're probably right!

ellenbrook Iinet cable and mp3's
Don't know if any others are within the ellenbrook cable network... but, as iinets limit is 500meg (1/6th of Telstras (reduced) limit of 3 gig) I've had real problems accessing my volume downloads. Ran up an unexpected $350 excess download charge over 2 months when I couldn't access my records. I feel this is really wrong hey? I wouldn't have continued had I realised the rate of download I was doing. Under extreme haranguing from me they have reduced this to about $200 but no light on the future reporting of download (atm it's 4 days old) Iinet don't seem to want to help at all. last month, I knew I had an uncertian amount of free download left but Iinet decided to use last few days of the month to do maintenance :( wherein I couldn't access my usage. nor could the help desk at Iinet. Should I change to telstra isdn?? Next anyone know a mp3 download site worth trying? Napster is absolutely useless now. Aimster is extremely unreliable thru frequent unexpected quits (usually when a 13 meg song is 95% downloaded :( also whenever I start beta version 1002, it pesters me to upgrade to 1009 which i have done twice but it won't start due to some error or other. Now 1002 won't start either as it times out immediately (within 1 second) feeling the world is against me atm :( Brett Curtis Ellenbrook, Western Australia
