Safari plugins
Safari has started to use the DIVX plugin rather than the QT one for playing QT.mov files. I can not see how to avoid this other than removing the DIVX plugin from the Internet plugins folder in Library. What has happened? What do I do?

Re: Safari plugins
Hi Severin, In Safari 7 under the Safari Help menu choose installed Plug-Ins You must have some DivX Plug-ins installed. If so: 1. Quit Safari 2. Remove the DivX plugins from HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder. 3. Open Safari and see if the problem is solved. If you install the DivX Web Player (divx.com), - from the file DivX Web Player.plugin takes precedence over QuickTime Plug-in in 7.7.3 when playing .mov files in Safari 7.

Re: emails: unwanted deletion
Hi Jennifer, IMAP on the iPhone may have been the culprit If your husband had his email account always set up as a POP Account on his Mac then set his email account to IMAP on his iPhone... Yes, this can ( most likely will) result in missing emails. Everything either needs to be configured as POP or IMAP.

IMAP on the iPhone may have been the culprit and perhaps it has been happening for some time, but not with any thing important and so went unnoticed. Thank you Tim and Rob for your informative suggestions. Time will tell, but it's a little like Rumsfeldt's The things we don't know we don't know and so I won't really be able to report back unless something is obviously wrong.. With best wishes, Jennifer On 20 February 2014 07:01, Ronni Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Jennifer, As Tim has mentioned POP accounts do not work like IMAP accounts, which reliably store all of your emails on the server. You need to check that your husbands email account is a POP account and if it is, that Account must be setup as a POP Account on all devices i.e. his Mac iPad iPhone. Using POP Accounts with Multiple Devices POP accounts, here is the setting to ensure the emails are set to being kept on the device: iOS Devices Mail 1. In Settings, select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. 2. Select the account for which you wish to change the settings. 3. Select Advanced, located at the bottom of the list. 4. Select the Delete from server option. 5. Choose NEVER from the pop-up menu. 6. Press the Home button to return to the Home screen. However, you will also need to configure any other devices or programs you use to check your pop account to stop this issue. OS X Mail If you use the Mac OS X Mail application as your email client, you can deselect the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message option under the Advanced account settings in Mail Preferences. However, the default setting, to remove mail after one week, should be adequate for most users. Here's how to set your account to remove the messages from the server after one week: 1. In Mail select Mail Preferences. 2. Click the Accounts tab. 3. Select the account for which you wish to change the settings. 4. Click the Advanced tab. 5. Select the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message option. 6. Select a time frame from the pop-up menu. After one week: This setting works the same as After one day, except that Mail waits one week. -- See this article for more info about using POP accounts with multiple devices, and instructions on how to configure for specific email clients - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228 POP vs. IMAP info - http://computer.howstuffworks.com/e-mail-messaging/email4.htm IMAP is known for its ability to keep all your devices and computers in sync with one another, while POP often falls short in this area. POP is an older format. Jennifer, I will be working most of today, but will get back to you when possible if you require any further help.

Hi Ronni, No, when I have the Turbo 264HD stick plugged into an USB port it crashes and the -36 error shows up.

Re: Safari plugins
Many thanks, Ronni, I thought it would be something like that. I am surprised that the DIVX plugin takes precedence over the QT one, how could Apple let that happen. No doubt a fix in the future.

Re: mavericks on unsupported mac pro
Hi Gary, You Mac Pro was Introduced August 2006 - Discontinued Jan. 2008. The Maximum (supported) OS is Mac OS X 10.7.5 I personally would NOT recommend 'hacking' to install Mavericks on an unsupported machine, especially if it is your work machine... Read all the comments on the forums from people who have attempted this. If you do decide to attempt any of the below 'hacks', make sure you backup first... have backups which include a bootable backup ( test you can boot from your backup) of your current system.
