Re: Cloning Account Settings Across Macs

2011-06-21 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Kevin,

Other than cloning the drive, I'm not familiar with any utility that would do 
what you're asking.  There might be a way that it could be done if you had a 
firewire cable and you were to start up the second computer in Target Disk 
mode.  You could then copy the user folder from one Mac to the other.  In 
theory it sounds plausible but I'm not 100% sure it would actually work 
properly.  It would need to be done from the Root user and it would also be 
dependent on whether the user on the second computer had already been created.  
There would be a lot of variables and if you're not careful, there's a ton of 
damage that can be done when logged in as Root.  For as much time as it would 
take to test this, I'd just make a new user on the other computer and set 
things up manually.

Later...

Cloning Account Settings Across Macs

2011-06-21 Thread Kevin Shaw
Hi there,

I'm wondering if there's a way to clone an account's settings (user name, 
password, mail, etc) between two Macs without having to set up an account from 
scratch on the second machine.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Re: Setting priority and return receipts

Aside from Entourage, you could get the macports version of Alpine, formally 
Pine, and do it in a terminal all day long...  LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!  Just 
kidding.


Seriously, Entourage is the only client I know of that can do this on the 
mac, and as you said, it's not accessible lamentably.

Hey all,

I'm sorry for all the questions, but I remember asking the list about this. 
Please forgive me if I've missed any of yall's responses. Being that you 
cannot (yet... hopefully?) request return receipts and set priority of

will, but that app isn't accessible.

Re: False notification of disc ejection

2011-06-21 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Your first assumption is completely invalid.  Ben and I both did not unplug 
the drive at all.  Furthermore, this happened not just on his drive but also 
on a few different CGate drives I have, which, to reidderate, means process 
of elimination says, the drive wouldn't be defected as for one thing, this 
is not just happening with one drive, 2, the drives have all been 
repartitioned with Disk Utility, as well as through Windows, and even 
through Linux a few times, so there is no way.  If it was because of data 
corruption, that data would have been rewritten with 1's and 0's, thus 
making the corrupted sectors or what not become validly reusable.


Furthermore, on both of our drives, Disk Utility reports that they both were 
verified and were in good shape, and were functioning correctly.


Performing an SMC reset as well as a P M ram reset on both our macbooks 
didn't fix the issue either.


You have to understand:  Ben didn't unplug the drive at all, nor was he 
trying to eject/unmount either of the volumes, so thus, the fact that the 
soft symbolic links to /Volumes/DrivePartitionNames got broken, is very 
strange.


No drives ever were ejected, no volumes ever were ejected either via the 
eject key, command+E, nor through improper removing.  It just clearly did 
this out of the blue.


Yes, Ben and I have sufficient trustees to read/write to the drives, as both 
of our accounts are the primary administrator accounts, so believe me, it's 
not a disk permission issue that chmod, nor disk utility could fix.


So... yeah...

Chris.

You get this message because you only ejected 1 of the partitions on
the drive then unplugged it which causes the notification for all the
other actively mounted partitions.

Whenever you have a single drive with more than 1 mounted partition
regardless of type or format you will get a dialog when trying to
eject a single partition.
The Dialog asks if you just want to eject that particular partition or
all of the ones attached to the device.
Simply choose the eject all button and you will not receive that
notification.

As to Ashley's comment to get a wd drive to stop this.  That is
incorrect and This will happen with ANY removable device that is
connected and mounts multiple partitions, regardless of type (ie
memory cards, thumb drives, hard drives, etc)

I hope this clarifies things

Kieren


It's also important to note that Ben's drive is partitioned two ways: each
equally 250GB. The first partition is Extended Journaled case sensitive,
and the second is MS Dos Fat. the first partition is being used with Time
Machine. The second is both for mac and windows platform storage.

I think both volumes became unmounted when he got the notification.



I just got a Seagate drive from BestBuy. I wasn't doing a darn thing with
the drive, yet a notification arose saying that it's not wise to unplug a
drive without safely ejecting it. Apparently Chris Gilland has also had 
this
problem with specifically his Seagate drives. Has anybody had this 
problem?
I am almost certain that it's not a defective drive being that someone 
else

has also encountered it.

Re: False notification of disc ejection

2011-06-21 Thread Esther
Hi Chris, Ben, Ashley, and Others,

I was going to respond that the most likely problem was either with your cables 
and/or connector ports (which is what I think Ashley means when she refers to 
the "rubbish drive enclosures").  You get this kind of false notification 
message of disc ejection when the contact through your USB or Firewire 
connection ports at either end of your connection is not solid, and it could be 
due to the quality of the port connections or of the cables.  If you are going 
through some kind of hub, it could be the quality of the ports on the hub, too. 
 However, I'm not certain that even the Western Digital drives Ashley 
recommends are immune to this.  About a year and a half ago, in a discussion on 
the mac-access list, the list owner stated that his recent Western Digital 
drives had been coming in with underrated power supplies, and that he'd ended 
up having to buy replacement generic power supplies to get better performance 
due to failures.  (This was in stark contrast to his Western Digital drives of 
a few years earlier, which he was entirely happy with.  The comment was that 
there had been a marked drop in the quality of the power supplies and also, 
after he disassembled a drive that failed, in the connectors they were using.)  
Quite independently, just before this report, I'd bought a portable Western 
Digital Passport drive, and then returned it without using for refund based on 
reading the unusually high problem reports that were coming in.  (Again, the 
earlier models of these drives did not have these problems).  And when I spoke 
to an Apple store worker about a month later, it turned out that he had bought 
one of these drives and had already sent it in twice for problems.  This is not 
to pick on Western Digital, which certainly has a reputation for better than 
average hard drives (or did), but I think you might want to closely follow 
current internet reports before buying hard drives.  Also, sometimes you can 
sort things by putting the drives into a different enclosures.  I've had good 
experiences with the Macally enclosures, but I haven't done this recently.  
Again, I'd head off and read the reviews from buyers at newegg.com and other 
sites before evaluating current enclosure quality.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

solve that?

But I have been told that danish braille is in the louis app, but I can not

I hope somebody can help.

It was a bit strange to get it to work.

Re: False notification of disc ejection

2011-06-21 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
May I add his drive is a 500GB GoFlex Media drive which I gave him in trade 
for a Go Flex 1TB drive.  The 1TB's not done it yet on my system but even 
after formatting, the other one has.  I do have a 300GB CGate drive that has 
done this very thing, but it's not a GoFlex.  This one actually plugs via 
USB and, the electrical wall outlet.


It's also important to note that Ben's drive is partitioned two ways:  each 
equally 250GB.  The first partition is Extended Journaled case sensitive, 
and the second is MS Dos Fat.  the first partition is being used with Time 
Machine.  The second is both for mac and windows platform storage.


I think both volumes became unmounted when he got the notification.

Chris.

I just got a Seagate drive from BestBuy. I wasn't doing a darn thing with 
the drive, yet a notification arose saying that it's not wise to unplug a 
drive without safely ejecting it. Apparently Chris Gilland has also had this 
problem with specifically his Seagate drives. Has anybody had this problem? 
I am almost certain that it's not a defective drive being that someone else 
has also encountered it.

Re: stanza and kindle books

2011-06-21 Thread Chinyoka on Macbook
Hi,

based on my own way of doing things: sure I just open a .mobi (Kindle) book in 
Stanza just as I would an Epub book on Mac. this is the default behaviour of 
Stanza to open these Kindle or other mobile PDA formats. as for download, I 
just download them from one of the free directories like Gutenberg.

as for putting the books into an iPod Stanza,  I would explain how I do it on 
an iPhone but I trust this could also apply on iPod.
I just tab to the file sharing Area under Apps in iTunes. i highlight Stanza 
and then click on the Add button to browse to the directory where my Kindle 
books are kept. then Sync.

That is how I do it over here. 

HTH,

Ishe

I have been using an Ipod classic for some time now, and lately my hard drive 
appears to perform slower than before. 
I am ready to accept the possibility that the hard drive may go out at any

hard drive? 
Thanks

Re: strange result when running a repair disk permissions, anyone no what it means?

2011-06-21 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi Kari,
I'm not one hundred percent positive about what this message means, so am open 
to correction.  I believe there's nothing to worry about, however.  The message 
concerns a system file which you never modified yourself, which Apple probably 
modified in a software update.  An SUID file is a concept from Unix, which is a 
bit difficult to explain.  The permission "error" on it is nothing to be 
worried about.  If I'm wrong, someone will surely let us know.
Best,
Zack.

strange result when running a repair disk permissions, anyone no what it means?

2011-06-21 Thread johns.kary
Hi guys,
I did a repair disk  permissions  tonight,  because I haven't done one for a 
while, and my MBP  has been running quite hot all day.   In the list of repairs 
 I got the message.

warning: SUID file system library 
/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDA/Agent" has 
been modified  and will not be repaired. 
The repair finished with no problems, and my mac  doesn't seam to be running as 
hot, the fan hasn't kicked in for a while now. But does anyone no what this 
message means?
Thanks Kari.

Re: EMusic download manager

2011-06-21 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi, I Cancelled emusic, even though I thought it was a great service.  The mac 
download manager is useless but the real reason I cancelled was the lack of any 
iniciative on their part to fix the problem.  I suggest you complain, but not 
hope for too much.

Best,

Re: system builder?

2011-06-21 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
It will work, but its against microsofts eula since oem versions are
meant to be sold with some form of computer hardware.
