Marta it is easier with Mac's to trouble shoot because we all have similar machines and similar software updates. Windows is much harder with all the different components and the registry problems when programs fight over .dll files.

They will have to burn me and throw my ashes back into the ground--- imagine ashes, plain ashes, not mummified bodies, nor bodies fit with earphones or certain motors to walk in the heavens keeping track whether the rest of the family is doing what I think it is supposed to do here on earth fiddling and piddling with mice and trackpads , incapable of making coffee on an overcomplicated machine , it occurred to me as I was looking at one of my very old phones, with that rotary dial, with a button to make the ring louder and one switch to louden the speech in the receiver !!- what a blessing that was for us who now try to simplify our lives and get back to basics. I feel sorry for all those who are to help us in our dilemmas when we don't get to the internet, when our computers strike and our world caves in --- How anybody is to stay on top of all of it? I don't see how they can. Maybe the world will come to an end as nobody seems to be able to halt the global expansion into infinity with people not knowing how to harness it all- like the sorcerers apprentice of global proportions ------everything ending in a big bang as they say it all started. This is my thought for the day.-- Thanks to our group who is willing and able to handle our small communal problems, since we still are able to communicate them in words and language we all still have in common and therefore are able to explain our difficulties.

One would suppose that the AppleCare tech reps would have known about that and realized that it couldn't be fixed by their methods! Our group often seems to be more on target tan AppleCare. However,I am still grateful; to have the AppleCare available to me, just in case. You told me it was the fault of my new Safari 4 install; but I didn't realize it actually was happening to others. I was wondering if you had the same problem. You, and Marta, have replied that you both do. Plus, you sent the Apple-Support_Discussions as examples. I appreciate all your trouble. When you were trying to get your e-mail to me. I was probably in the midst of trying to straighten out more of the mess the AppleCare people left me. in. I hope and believe I am done now. It was more screwed up than I had first realized, and it took me many experiments to get all functions back.

My reply to your email which is about how Safari 4 has messed up saving your email to the desktop is: The link I sent with the reply was to show you others are having the problem. I too can not save an email to my desktop though I never do such a thing I tried it after you posted the question. It is a well documented problem on Apples message-board. I would uninstall Safari 4 if this is something you do all the time. I practice zero email box so I try and deal with the emails straight away most of my emails are questions from students or mailing lists.
