I don't use Google Earth much, but my thoughts are that you are best to use Dropbox as the place you store you kmz files. Under the File menu, select Save, then Save As, and Select your Dropbox folder. Then to open the file on the other machine, go to your Dropbox folder and double click on the file there. If you don't have a Dropbox account, feel free to use this link to create one.

Re: Techtool Pro 6
TO be more specific. I have always had an edrive on my iMac until now. I removed the old one thinking it was just an install from Techtool 6 DVD. What I wanted to do was update the edrive and have the latest Techtools (6) and 10.7.3 but reading the techtool installer note that can no longer be done because there is a recovrey drive from Lion on the machine and Techtool asks for the latest version of Lion. I have that but the edrive can not be created. I find that somewhat odd. tom samson On 05/05/2012, at 2:46 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: On 05/05/2012, at 2:11 PM, tom samson wrote: I am trying to create an eDrive with techtool.

Does it go through all the process and indicates it is complete, but then you find it is not bootable? Are you creating the eDrive on a FW External Drive or what? Have you tried repairing disk permissions on the volume chosen as the Mac OS X Source Volume and then try to make a new eDrive?

Worth reading email tracker programs
tom samson EMail Tracker Programs -- very interesting and a must read!!! The man that sent this information is a computer tech. He spends a lot of time clearing the junk off computers for people and listens to complaints about speed. All forwards are not bad, just some. Be sure you read the very last paragraph. _ He wrote: By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with snopes.com and/or truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Advice from snopes.com VERY IMPORTANT!! 1) Any time you see an email that says forward this on to '10' (or however many) of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck or you'll get good luck or you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it or whatever --- it almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that demand you send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus --- that is email tracking, and they are playing on our conscience. These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease how would you feel if that was your child --- email tracking. Ignore them and don't participate! 2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of email is, is a way to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers -- to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes. You can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them. You will be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in the future! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listing regardless how inviting they might sound! Or make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all about getting email addresses and nothing more. You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's not make it easy for them! ALSO: Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization - i.e. social security, etc. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition, so this is a waste of time and you are just helping the email trackers. Tips for Handling Telemarketers .Please read this too (Merelyn) Three Little Words That Work!! (1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...' Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt. Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.. (2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a 'real' sales person to call back and get someone at home. What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call, and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!! (3) Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular 44 cents postage, 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away

I already have it running on three machines. Yet the App store may have had no way of knowing what I had. All my iMac told me was that there was an update 9.2.

Re: Lion 10.7.2
I was interested in what you have been saying about changing flags for the Used Library. I now do not mind this hidden Library as it is seldom used. Can we changer the main system library so that is is invisible? I never use this- I know the system does but it does not need our eyes. If I could hide stuff from my eyes it would be great I do have colored icons in sidebar but not in iTunes or mail and in some other instances Can we colorise all? tom samson On 26/10/2011, at 8:09 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi John, I’m ‘starting’ to like certain things about Lion, I think it’s mainly getting used to a somewhat ‘different’ operating system than Snow Leopard. Similar, but different in many aspects. I can see the benefits of some changes, others not so much. The more I work in Lion, the more I will come to like it I’m sure. Change sometimes takes a little time to get used to, especially when I thought Snow Leopard was the greatest Operating System of our time ;-) I find Lion is much faster and better installed on my MacBook Pro than the external FW drive (even though it was 800FW connection). I have done the ‘tweaks’ to get coloured icons back in finder sidebar windows and iTunes, I don’t like all the grey of Lion, picking up coloured icons is much quicker to see, especially with my eyes. I’m getting used to the new Mail in Lion (but hope to change the grey Mailboxes (or Apple does, as millions of people want colour back), I have thought of a way but don’t really want to mess in the Resources folder ). I would not recommend anyone doing this! So probably, other than the grey of Lion I’m finding it is worth the upgrade from Snow Leopard. I have not had any issues or problems with Lion. But, I did make sure before installing it on my work computer that all my applications worked and I did all the preparation, also a bootable backup of my Snow Leopard system before installing Lion on my MacBook Pro (just in case I ever wanted to go back to SL).

Also I had misunderstood your question, so my previous rushed reply probably made no sense to you ;-) Especially the bit about Time Machine backup in Lion not being backward compatible with Snow Leopard. One further question; when I do proceed as you advise, will I still be able to return to Snow Leopard and use mail as normal? I thought you had installed Lion on your Mac Mini and wanted to downgrade (Go Back) to Snow Leopard on your Mac mini. If that had been the case, NO you can't revert to Snow Leopard Mail from Lion Mail. This is because Lion’s version of Mail uses a different format for its message database than older versions. It’s not backward compatible. That’s why when you first open Mail in Lion OS X 10.7, it upgrades the format of your messages. Because of the above, You would not be able to import 'Lion Mail' back to 'Snow Leopard Mail' if you decide to downgrade. Lion modifies the Mail files so that you cannot go back to Snow Leopard Mail. But, as you have Lion on an external FW Drive and Snow Leopard on your Mac mini. And if you have IMAP Mail Accounts (or a POP Accounts that are set to 'keep messages on the server' for a period of time) so you will be able to download the email messages again in Snow Leopard Mail, that you would have downloaded when ’testing out’ Mail in Lion. You could use both Mail versions of Apple Mail … Mail in Snow Leopard on Mac mini, and Mail in Lion on the external drive. That is what I did for a time while I was testing Lion on an external FW Drive. Before I eventually installed Lion on my MacBook Pro. As long as you don’t have to ‘Import’ any mail from Lion Mail back in to Snow Leopard Mail you can use both. But, make sure you do have Mail Accounts that you can download your messages more than once. If you only have POP Accounts that are set to Remove copy from server after retrieving a message - ‘immediately … you would lose some messages. Hope that has answered your question correctly. Post back to list if not. Cheers, Ronni On 24/10/2011, at 8:40 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi John, Just a very quick answer as I’m rushing out to a client. I’ll explain more fully in another Subject heading to WAMUG later. Your query after installing Lion can you go back to Snow Leopard”? Well, you can, there are a few things you need to be aware of though. You would need a ‘cloned backup of your pre-Lion drive’. Once Lion writes to a Time Machine backup, it's not backward compatible with Snow Leopard. Migration Assistant

More questions
I see that our iMacs -we now have one each 2.8 intel 21 and 24 inch can max the Ram at 6 GB but Apple says 4 GB.

Re: URGENT Techtool Pro
Thanks Ronnie, I have read the techs from Micromat My laptop only went through the first two test and hung. Then I had no option but to go back in with Techtool it was then that I could not see the HDD. I would love to say that it was coincidence and the Drive was about to pack in but SMART gave no indication of this. So My presumption, right or wrong was that Techtool was the culprit. It may be then that something else was afoot. If the concensus is that TTP5 is stable then I shall try again. If not I will wait. tom samson Welcome back Ronnie and thanks for the imput On 08/03/2009, at 11:14 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hello WAMUGers, I installed TTP5 Version 5.0.2 (Build 3968M) a month or so ago on my MacBook Pro without any problems and have run all the tests without any problems. The only issue I have with TTP5, is it won't run on my TechTool Protégé. TTP5 is NOT compatible with Protégé at this time. I've been in touch with MicroMat Support and they will have a new release of the Protégé Manager to support TechTool Pro 5.0.x. They have been unable to tell me WHEN this new release will be available on DVD. Micromat have no mention on their website that TTP5 is not compatible with the latest Protégé, and did not know it was incompatible until I alerted them. PLEASE NOTE: You do need to Uninstall TechTool Pro 4.6.2 before you install TTP 5. I Uninstalled TechTool Pro 4.6.2 first using the TTP 4.6.2 installer disc. When I went to empty the trash I was unable to because “the Operation “TechTool Protection” is in use. I found out that the TechTool Protection would be removed replaced when I install TechTool Pro 5: There is no need to remove the Protection files in the invisible folder at /.TechTool Pro Items; they will be removed when they are replaced by the Protection feature of TechTool Pro 5.0.2 (a System Preferences pane). PLEASE NOTE: It also is important to do as suggested by Micromat: Install the program on a bootable external drive if possible. When you run the program from the bootable DVD, virtual memory cannot be used. When the disk directory is replaced, all of it, plus part of Mac OS X and TechTool Pro, must be able to be held in RAM. Unless you have a lot of RAM, this is not likely to be possible. Micromat suggest you see The Proper Way to Use TechTool Pro. This was written for TTP4, but also relevant to TTP5. http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboardItemid=func=viewcatid=6id=3267#3267 I don't know why Tom Samson had problems, I did read his post on Micromat Forum and the reply from Micromat to him. I'm now just waiting for Micromat to release a new version of Protégé Manager for my TechTool Protégé so I can put TTP5 on him. I have installed on my Trusty TechTool Protégé - Disk Warrior v4.1, Data Rescue 11 v1.2.1, Disk Utility, Disk Studio, System Profiler, Terminal.

Re: academic pricing same as non-academic?
I had a much better Deal with JB HiFi They beat the education prices and offered better deals with accompanying hardware and Apple Support. Grab a price and they will beat it.
