Re: re Little Snitch Removal
Hi again Barry, I’ve found some more files the uninstaller of Little Snitch doesn’t remove. The uninstallation procedure does not delete any user specific settings such as preferences and your Little Snitch rules. This allows you to re-install Little Snitch later, with all your previous settings already in place. If you wish to remove these settings as well, you have to delete the following files and folders: /Library/Application Support/Objective Development/Little Snitch/ ~/Library/Application Support/Little Snitch/ ~/Library/Preferences/at.obdev.LittleSnitchConfiguration.plist ~/Library/Preferences/at.obdev.LittleSnitchNetworkMonitor.plist ~/Library/Preferences/at.obdev.LittleSnitchInstaller.plist The “~” tilde sign refers to your home folder.

Re: re Little Snitch Removal
Hi Ronni, Thanks for that information. I had a trial of Snowtape on my Mac, but did not end up buying it. Since then, when opening a video file, Snowtape immediately takes preference (even though I did not give my permission). I deleted the file using Amnesia.

Deepest Apologies for wasting time etc. Barry Hi Barry, Absolutely no reason to apologise, you have not wasted anyone’s time on WAMUG. I’m still not sure if the Uninstaller with Little Snitch deletes all the associated files.

It did leave some files on your Mac even after you used the Uninstaller. I prefer using AppZapper to delete any applications.” /End Quote. If you have already uninstalled Little Snitch, make sure you reboot your computer after and then check if any of these files are still on the computer.

Re: re Little Snitch Removal
Hi Ronni ( Bob) Thank you Ronni, you are a gem - have finally got rid of Snowtape and the added bonus, also Little Snitch. I never thought of checking with the web for uninstalling instructions. I had presumed Amnesia would have removed an application completely, but alas not the case. Perhaps I'll have a look at the two suggested programs you mentioned. Thank you again Jewels On 21/06/2011, at 8:24 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Jewels, I’ve never heard of Snowtape … but a Google search found this information: To uninstall Snowtape you first have to move Snowtape from the Applications folder to the trash. Several other documents must also be deleted from your computer: The Snowtape Library in the Documents folder of your home directory: ~/Documents/Snowtape Library, The Snowtape preferences you'll find in Library/Preferences in your home directory: ~/Library/Preferences/com.vemedio.Snowtape.plist The RadioURL Internet Plug-In located in Library/Internet Plug-Ins in your home directory: ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/RadioURL.bundle The launch agent configuration file located in Library/LaunchAgents in your home directory: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vemedio.Snowtape.RadioAgent.plist Then restart your Mac and empty the trash afterwards.

Since then, when opening a video file, Snowtape immediately takes preference (even though I did not give my permission). I deleted the file using Amnesia.

Re: New Time Capsule 2TB and 3TB, New Final Cut X etc on MacApp Store
Hi WAMUGers, To further answer Rob question … GST is NOT exempt on electronic software distribution. Below is an excerpt taken from Apple Terms and Conditions and Apple Privacy Policy / Begin Excerpt: The amounts payable for Service transactions are expressed inclusive of GST and each such amount includes an amount equal to the GST payable in respect of the supply to which the amount relates. If the rate of GST payable changes before the licensed Product is downloaded, the new tax rate in effect at the time of download will apply and the total amount payable will be increased or decreased so the economic benefit to Apple remains the same, irrespective of the change in rate of GST. No customers are eligible for tax exemptions for transactions made on the Services.” / End Excerpt: Cheers, Ronni On 22/06/2011, at 7:29 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Rob, I'm fairly sure GST is still applicable on electronic software distribution.

Re: HTTPS Error: Request Entity Too Large
Hi Alan, This is a HTTPS 413 error. 413 - Request Entity Too Large The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server may close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request. What constitutes 'too large' depends in part by the operation being attempted. For example a request to upload a very large file (via the HTTP PUT method) may encounter a limitation on upload file size set by the Web server.” You could try “Empty Cache” in Safari, then restart Safari and try the process again, making sure you don’t have any other pages open at the time you are trying to do the upload.

Windows viruses have been spreading themselves quite happily for many years without any influence from the Mac community. On the other hand, it this IS true, it does put us a pretty powerful position... The ironic thing is that not even running anti-virus software on Windows has reduced the spread of Windows viruses.

Re: Accounting software
Severin, you should have a look at Saasu.com I first came across Saasu via Wamug (thanks Justin) and we have used it for a while. Excellent system, easy to use. Has a free trial available to try it out. Glenn Nicholas On 22 June 2011 10:13, Severin Crisp sevcr...@westnet.com.au wrote: For years I have used eRecord, the ATO's free accounting package. It is no longer supported and is a bit creaky even with Leopard. I am looking for an alternative, looking forward to Snow Leopard and Lion. My requirements are simple. Cash Book only covering sales, expenditures and GST. Other packages that I have looked at, like eRecord itself, do much more and are somewhat daunting at first glance.

Excel 2011 assistance with chart axis dates
Hi Muggers Im not sure if it is ok to ask here about a charting problem I have while using Excel 2011, but I would very much appreciate some help if possible? I am preparing some whale sighting data for a conference presentation in few weeks and cant seem to find how I can de-select some dates that are not in the data (Feb 08 to June 08), but are included by excel to make the x-axis series continuous (from sept 07 to sept 08). The data have only been collected from sept 07 to jan 08 and then from July 08 to Sept 08. I have been delving into the axis format using 'Scale' which only allows a max and min value (not to deselect some in between). It does have a number of other abilities to change the major and minor units but this does not solve the problem. Thanks for any help here, even some online links etc Kind regards Chris Christopher L.K.
