.mac email
I posted a question earlier this year regarding the inability for Mail to work with the email accounts of those with .mac accounts and the inability to log in to web-based mail via .mac. I chugged along using my iPhone but a few months later wandered in to the Apple store for the umpteenth time with a very forlorn look on my face over the fact that my email system had gone away forever. One of the employees (one that had been promoted past greeter but not quite yet to genius) had pity on me and really tried to help. He tried every combination of keystrokes and looked all over Apple's site. Then the light bulb over his head came on and he said, Wait a minute... He went to iCloud.com and voila! there it was!!! I was able to access my email from my computer. There's always the initial prompt reminding me that I am accessing this with an unsupported browser but the ignore option directs you to the screen from .mac. Yay! So, having never really preferred web-based email, now that I can access my email AT ALL from my Mac, is it possible to treat it as a POP account and resume using Mail? My OS is 10.4.11.

My OS is 10.4.11. Not as POP, but it is available as an IMAP account as follows: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html These instructions are for Leopard and Snow Leopard, but since it's for setting up iCloud as a straight IMAP mail account it should work in any version of OS X. I don't have any 10.4 systems to test it on, though. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Disappearing file
Hi all Powerbook Pismo (400MHz G3, 10.4.11 Tiger, 1GB memory) I have downloaded lubunto.iso file and am following the instructions on this site http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick- on-mac-osx to create a ubuntu flash drive (4GB) but am getting stopped on the following command - hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /Users/ged/InBox/lubuntu-12.04- desktop-powerpc.img /Users/ged/InBox/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-powerpc.iso I get the same result if I specify .dmg as the output file. My problem is that the file exists while hdiutil is working - I can see it in Finder right above the iso file but it just disappears when hdiutil ends. Am I getting something wrong, or is the Pismo too old for version 12, or what?

If hdiutil is throwing an error and giving up, it may be noted there instead of in Terminal. That would account for the files appearing and then disappearing. Also do 'man hdiutil' in a terminal window and confirm that all the parameters are correct...they look right, but you can't discount subtle changes in commands between OS X versions. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Re: Where can I find a good explanation on using Migration Assistant?
I used migration assistant to transfer an account to my G5. It seems to have succeeded except that it won't accept the password and allow me to log in. Any suggestions?
