Scott, In El Capitan, it might be fixed. I honestly haven't done a lot with Mail over there on 10.11, not even during the beta cycles, guilty as charged. I admit I got so tired of this behavior in Yosemite, that I basically just said screw it. If you're not seeing this in El Capitan, then

Hi Mary, I also use classic View, but I almost always prefer accomplishing an action with a single key-press, rather than a command that requires multiple keys, so I prefer the Enter method. It used to work great, up until Yosemite. Cheers, Donna > On Oct 1, 2015, at 12:09 PM, Mary Otten

No. For something like that, you'd almost need a full fledged audio editter that would let you merge things together. That's not the purpose of what Audio Book Builder nor the adding as a spoken track do. Chris. - Original Message - From: "Singing Sparrow"

Just wanted to throw in my two cents worth to say that ever since Yosemite, I have also had that intermittant issue with e-mail messages not reading when you open them. Yeah, you can hit vo+J from the message list table, but I'm old school. I prefer literally openning the message with the

Apple uses Akamai to distribute developer downloads. Perhaps the real reason for all the slowness (which happens every single year) is simply that Apple’s own servers are the chokepoint. It makes sense that Apple would need the use of its own servers for App Store downloads because each

Hi, Just for clarity: audio book builder takes an audio book made up of multiple mp3's and zips it into 1 or 2 .m4b files that itunesrecognizes as an audio book. Cocktail is a OSX utility. Jeff p.s. How do I go back to Yosemite from El Capitan, do I have to wipe the drive and re-install

WINE would be just the thing for audiogames, if anybody has figured out how to actually do it. I’ve never got it to work. There are tools such as WineBottler and WineSkin that can help you wrap Windows binaries plus dependencies inside an app package. In theory they should work for such

This is all in the final release, the betas don't even enter into it. I saw the severity and frequency of this problem fluctuate through the different El Cap betas, but I'm referring here only to the final version. > On Oct 1, 2015, at 15:01, Christopher-Mark Gilland >
