Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Alex, The opening sentence appears to have no less that three factual errors in it, but my thoughts on security will take more time to write down than I have at the moment so I will leave that reply for another day. On another front, however, you seem to be saying that Apple has treated you

Hi all, So we are really happy that somebody is telling us what software we can run on our computers under the pretence of blessing it and which software is of lesser quality and not intended for public consumption. Several years ago I started developing Address Book Server. This was around the

There's a pretty good 2min run through of 30 new features of Mountain Lion. Can access it from here:- Sounds like there's some nice new features. Bit sad to see it change from Mac OSX to OS

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Excellent reply Carlo, I too have been doing a lot of reading and research on Mountain Lion and its security. I’m very impressed with the way Apple is moving into the future with OS X, especially with security. There are ‘cosmetic’ things I don’t particularly like about Lion & I guess Mountai

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Alex, This is bound to be a contentious point and one, no doubt, that the anti-Apple press will try to get as much mileage out of as they can by claiming that Apple is a closed system and that Windows and Android are open. So it is important to look at the what Apple is actually implementing

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Alex, Your opening sentence is not strictly correct unless it refers to your own email, in which case you are being a bit too hard on yourself. :-) I was pointing out that iCloud information is confidential in that Apple undertakes to keep this information confidential. Security is a whole o

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Michael, This is complete non-sense. Since the data is stored in the cloud it is stored most likely somewhere overseas. As such it falls into the jurisdiction of somebody else. Since we don't even know where the data is stored the end-user has little idea of who else has access to the data.

Hi James, I would if I knew what you actually mean ;-)) I did a search through the hundreds of emails I’ve posted since Lion, but can’t seem to find anything relative to ‘light arrows’ or darker desktop icons. You don’t mean Colour Sidebar icons in Finder Sidebar and in iTunes? I’ll have a ‘thi

Hi Michael, You don’t need to print it … just 'Save as PDF', then read it and when finished reading just trash it if no longer needed. File > Print - click the PDF button then Save As PDF (& save it to your desktop). This way you save the trees ;-) Cheers, Ronni On 17/02/2012, at 3:57 PM, Mic

Thanks Ronni. The environmentalists will not like it, but I've changed preferences in Print from "Keep the same apparent font size" to "Rewrap message to fit". As a result the number of pages required to this email chain increases from 2 pages to 5 but I can read it much more easily. LCD font

Hi Ronni, Not long after Lion was introduced you posted a note on how to make the ever so light arrows (and other desktop things) darker. I've searched your posts in vain - if its still around will you please re-post. Cheers, James >I've just got Lion customised and under control, looks l

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Michael, It is quite possible that regulations rule out the use of iCloud in your particular case, but just to clarify the issue for those who may be following the thread, iCloud is confidential. The information is shared only among computers logged in with your Apple ID. With a strong passw

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Carlo, My occupation requires that I keep a lot of information confidential including names and addresses. As a result programs such as iCloud are of no use to me. What I would like is for Mail to be better suited to business use. Spotlight is a boon, but that was also the case before Lion

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

I can't say I agree with that assessment. I find Lion to be a pleasure to use. Apple seems to have taken the approach that everything in the OS had to justify its existence; things were not done in a particular way merely because they had always been done that way. I find the interface features

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Ronni and thanks, I use Classic mode and I use Rules for 90 odd mailboxes. I vet mail by using my iPhone. I find I make fewer mistakes that way. I can't work out how to get a decent font size in Mail. Even though I've selected Helvetica and 14 in the preferences for Mail Fonts & Colours, the

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Hi Michael, My computer is not used for entertainment either, it is my work computer. Have you tried using "Classic Mode" in Mail, which is similar to Snow Leopard Mail? Might make it easier for you to sort through your email boxes to delete messages. I use "classic Mode" sometimes to quickly

Ronda, I didn't install it. I had the misfortune of having to replace my MacBook Pro a couple of months after extended Apple care expired. Lion was on the be MacBook. My computer is used for business purposes, not entertainment. Mail is tiresome. Hopefully it will become as efficient as it is on

One thing I'd like to see them "fix" in Lion/Mountain Lion/iCloud is Address Book syncing. When you synced via iTunes with Address Book, you had the ability to choose "Groups" that would sync, and not just sync everything. What this meant was that a couple could use 1 iMac computer, have the sam

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!

Things are ramping up at Apple! (sorry) Mountain Lion has at least one feature I was hoping for, and that is syncing with iCloud from OS X. Now changes in Numbers and Pages documents will be pushed to iOS iCloud documents. I am also waiting keenly for a Mac OS X version of iBooks but no sign of
