Re: Apple Releases Mail Update to Address OS X 10.9 Mavericks Bugs

The 32.46 MB update, which can be downloaded from Apple’s Web site or via Software Update, fixes several issues: the inability to delete, move, and archive messages when using custom Gmail settings, inaccurate unread mail counts, and additional — unspecified — compatibility fixes. It’s clear that Apple intended to make Mail in 10.9 Mavericks work more intuitively with Google’s popular mail service, but the result for many was a broken mess. It’ll take time before we know for sure if Apple’s update solves the problems, but Gmail has never used a standard IMAP implementation, so there will likely be other incompatibilities in the future. Your best bet may be to use something like Mailplane, which encapsulates the Gmail Web app into a native Mac wrapper (to see why TidBITS Publisher Adam Engst likes Mailplane, see “Zen and the Art of Gmail, Part 4: Mailplane,” 16 March 2011), or to follow in the footsteps of Joe and leave Gmail for a more standards-compliant email provider (see “Joe Kissell Says Sayonara to Gmail,” 31 October 2013).

If it's already gone or been deleted, then unfortunately you need to download it again. There are a couple of steps to make a bootable install, as posted previously. I've copy and posted them here as well. Ronni's post. /quote It is quite a bit different to Make A Bootable Install Drive in Mavericks. There are a couple of ways to do it, either using Terminal, or you can use Disk Utility, (I would not suggest you use Lion DiskMaker as it is still in Beta for Mavericks). The easiest is Using Mavericks’ new bootable-drive-creation feature Hidden inside the Mavericks installer is a Unix program called createinstallmedia provided by Apple to create a bootable Mavericks installer. If you’re comfortable using Terminal, it’s a relatively simple tool to use. The program assumes your account has administrator privileges. Note: if you leave the Mavericks installer in its default location in the Applications folder when you install OS X 10.9, the installer will be deleted automatically after the installation finishes. So if you plan to use that installer on other Macs, or—in this case—to create a bootable drive, be sure to copy the installer to another drive, or at least move it out of the Applications folder, before you install. If you don't, you'll have to re-download the installer from the Mac App Store before you can create a bootable install drive. You need a drive (a hard drive, SSD, thumb drive, or USB stick) that’s big enough to hold the installer and all its data—at least an 8GB flash drive. That drive must also be formatted with a GUID Partition Table. Create the Mavericks install drive Using Mavericks’ new bootable-drive-creation feature Hidden inside the Mavericks installer is a Unix program called createinstallmedia provided by Apple to create a bootable Mavericks installer. If you’re comfortable using Terminal, it’s a relatively simple tool to use. The program assumes your account has administrator privileges. You will have to make sure that the Mavericks installer is in your Main Applications folder. The Terminal command assumes the installer is in its default location. You will have to move it back there after you copied it to another drive or moved it out of the Applications folder as explained above. Best to go here for all the detailed instructions to follow: http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install-drive.html /end quote my post /quote Apparently the DiskMakerX program has been updated to work with Mavericks now,…so that seems to be the easier way if you don't want to jump into Terminal. You can see more about it here as well - http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mavericks-usb-install-drive/ And the direct link for DiskMaker X - http://diskmakerx.com All the normal back up, take care, be careful, not responsible if it goes wrong,…etc etc,…warnings apply :o) I just used the Terminal command from the above site and it worked great, no problems at all. My support boot drive now has a very nice Mavericks installer complete with self designed background picture. :o) (though my USB drive now has a lot of partitions,…with al the installers back to 10.6.3 and vanilla HD Boot drives,….lol). /end quote The Apple ID may be the tricking part. But what you can do, is start the download under the other AppleID then once it starts downloading, pause it. Quit Software Update then install from your installer.

If people don't take our advise, that is their decision and there is nothing more we can do. Losing photos at anytime is devastating, but to lose them by not having a back up the photos you took on your holidays is really bad management. Don't you have Dropbox? Dropbox has Camera Upload on a Computer and also on a Mobile Device. If you don't have Dropbox you can use my Referral Link: http://db.tt/CDbS9oC2 If you join and install Dropbox on your computer, Dropbox gives us both 500 MB of bonus space - so you receive 2GB + 500MB I receive 500MB added to my storage. The mobile Dropbox apps for iOS and Android also support Camera Upload, although it works a bit differently there than the desktop version. Camera Uploads and Free Storage Space: The first time you upload media using Camera Upload, Dropbox automatically increases your storage quota by 500 MB. Thereafter, for every 500 MB of photo and videos you upload, Dropbox adds another 500 MB to your quota, up to a total of 3 GB. Even if you later delete all that media from your Camera Uploads folder, the extra storage space is yours to keep permanently. If you are interested and require details and how to use Camera Upload on a Mobile Device post back and I can give instructions under another Subject heading to WAMUG.

Assuming that there were no problems before the upgrade was done, and Diskwarrior and the AHT did their stuff without throwing up alarming errors on the state of the disk, I'm wondering if starting again from scratch would be a reasonable thing to try - through all the upgrades the system software may have got corrupted somehow.

Be sure your Mac is shut down. 2. Press the power button. 3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone. 4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear). During startup in Mac OS X v10.4 through Mac OS X v10.6.8, you will see Safe Boot on the login window. To leave Safe Mode, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

You are correct Ronni. Did not do the Safe Boot quite correctly. Now followed your instruction to the letter and still the MacBook will not boot. As previously opens to blank blue screen. Thanks.

An interesting question about international travel. I went on a conference in South America recently. As you know when you fly east from Australia you cross the international date line.

Not quite as simple a drag down option as before but it can be done. When the reminder comes up you have three options, click close, snooze or on the event itself. Clicking on the event brings it up in calendar, click again on the calendar to edit event and where you originally may have set a reminder to minutes before you can advance the reminder to minutes, hours, days after. More involved than before but can still be done pretty quickly.

Re: Colour laser multifunction printers/Airprint
Yes, Daniel. I've looked carefully at the Epson WorkForce Pro 4540. One problem so far. It appears that faxes received are automatically printed. Not very environmentally friendly. Has anyone had much experience with the Epson WorkForce and in particular what they do when they receive faxes? The other thing is that if you want to buy an Epson WorkForce you get them cheaper at OfficeWorks even with Epons' $100 cash back. Epson WorkForce Pro 4540 $250 at OfficeWorks.

And yes, the Officework price on it at the moment is very good. (Though I've beaten the Office work prices sometimes on things,..some by as much as $40 for things). But with that printer it's actually cheaper for me to go into Officeworks and buy it at their RETAIL price, then my cost+freight price is. (i.e. if I ordered from my wholesaler with freight it would be a lot dearer then the Officeworks retail price). Unfortunately sometimes us little guys get run out on prices from the larger guys. (But then sometimes we win against them too). I suppose that would be like in your field with a doctor surgery having 100 doctors seeing patients at $15 an appointment :o) hehe You can't win them all,…lol. But I know on some of the Brother printers I've done better (or same price) as Officeworks. (And seeing as I'm getting only one printer and they're order like 10,000 printers nationwide that's not too bad to be able to do that)…..

I have TechTool Pro 6, Drive Genius, CleanMyMac, DiskWarrior other utilities installed on my MacBook Pro and also on my support external drive. Apple have improved hardware and OS X that you don't really need to use any third-party disk utility except in an emergency. A Mac running any version of OS X later than 10.2 does not need to be defragmented and you should NEVER Defrag SSD drives. A solid state drive has no moving parts, so there's no mechanical delay. Reading a section of data takes approximately the same amount of time no matter where it's located in the flash. Defragmenting a solid state drive is actually harmful because it forces the drive to move data around for no good reason, and flash chips have a limit on how many times they can rewrite a section. I agree with what Peter has mentioned previously, and Severin's housekeeping measures are fine. The below article by Joe Kissell - 'Do you need a third-party disk utility?' is worth a read before you spend quite a bit of money on third-party utilities. OS X performs certain disk maintenance tasks automatically in the background—for example, it defragments smaller files on the fly, keeping all their segments contiguous on a hard disk so they’ll load faster. (Solid-state drives don’t require such defragging.) And, when you perform a safe boot (starting your Mac with the Shift key held down), OS X runs a more extensive set of diagnostic and repair procedures without you doing anything else. http://www.macworld.com/article/2030516/do-you-need-a-third-party-disk-utility-.html The most important thing is to have a good Backup Strategy in place, which includes regular Bootable backups, Offsite backups, Incremental backups.

Would anyone recommend it? DISK TOOLS PRO I have Disk Tools Pro. I think I received it as part of some software bundle at one time. Fortunately I have never had to use it in anger, so I can't testify to its effectiveness. Like all software of this type, I would not regard it as maintenance software, rather than a tool to have around in case of emergency. Writing information back to a hard drive always carries risks, and software such as this always has the potential to make a bad problem worse. Knowing this makes such software difficult to road test. Sure, you can test it on a non-essential drive, but if it comes back with no errors you are none the wiser. If it does come back with errors, it's probably time to back up that data and replace the drive. The other problem is that hard drives have so much capacity these days that they are quite likely to have bad sectors, etc, out of the box. Any attempt to repair these is usually futile. Modern OSes are designed to deal with these as a routine matter, so unless they are demonstrably causing problems they can generally be safely ignored. By all means it is probably a good idea to have a tool such as Disk Tools Pro, or any of its cousins such as Tech Tool Pro, Disk Warrior, Drive Genius, etc. They all have different tools and purposes, but ultimately they are all designed to rescue you from a disaster.

It's best to use your external house antenna rather than the dinky antennas that may come with the device. You will need to set up the device using the software and you can set it to automatically scan for the channels. You can record program's and also 'time shift' that is, pause live TV and come back to the program when you are ready. ABC iView, which is TV on the Internet, is not available outside of Australia.

When you add a new file, or update an existing file, the green tick on the menubar icon changes to a rotating blue wheel as does the tick on the finder icon for the file and all enclosing folders. If you change/add a bunch of files in one go – or if you have been unconnected for a while when changes have been made – it can take awhile for the synch to complete (depends on your internet UPLOAD speed). If, at any point, you want to check you can click on the menubar icon and a dropdown menu says things like: All files up to date or Uploading 1 file (or x files) It will also show you recently changed files. One thing to remember if, like me, you generally work on a desktop and occasionally use a laptop when out about (with dropbox keeping them in synch) – if you have had the laptop switched off for a while and done a bit of work on the desktop there will be a bit of catching up to do so make sure you allow time to fire-up the laptop let it synch – before you rush out the door ;o) HTH Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

And like you I get frustrated when people don't reply back to the list. Attachments in Lion were saved to ~/Library/Mail Downloads. But under Mountain Lion, Mail is now sandboxed, and the new path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. But this is only Attachments from Incoming Messages, Stuart wants to know how to delete attachments from Outgoing (Sent) Messages. Stuart could either do what I suggest below to set up a Rule to delete attachments from Sent Messages in all his Accounts Sent Mailboxes. To Bulk Remove Attachments from Sent Messages: 1. Open Sent Mailbox 2. Go to View Sort By - Attachments - Descending 3. Scroll to the last message that has attachments (Paper clip) 4. Select the last message and Shift-Click on the first message (to select all the sent messages that have attachments) 5. Go to 'Message' Remove Attachments Otherwise set up a Rule to preform such an action. I have not got time at present to give instructions how to setup this rule. If I find some time perhaps I will. = Where Attachments Live and How to Delete Them When you receive a message with attachments, Mail stores the raw source of the attachments inside the .emlx message file, and keeps a separate copy of the attachment alongside the message file in an Attachments folder (both are buried deep within ~/Library/ Mail/V2/). If you remove attachments from a selected message (by choosing Message Remove Attachments), Mail modifies the .emlx file on disk that contains the message and also deletes the separate attachment file. However, Mail also stores yet another copy of a downloaded attachment—in its original format—in a separate folder (~/Library/ Mail Downloads) if you open the attachment from within Mail (for example, by clicking the attachment icon or using Quick Look). Removing attachments from a message doesn’t delete them from this folder! Deleting an entire message does—but only after you quit Mail. You can choose when Mail deletes attachment copies in the Mail Downloads folder with the 'Remove Unedited Downloads' pop-up menu on the General preference pane. Choose Never to retain the files indefinitely, or When Mail Quits to delete them when you quit Mail. = Tip: After you save an attachment, you may want to remove it from the message (that is, unless you plan to delete the message anyway). To do so, choose Message Remove Attachments. == Migrating Mail from Lion to Mountain Lion leaves behind a folder containing previous attachments. Attachments in Lion were saved to ~/Library/Mail Downloads, but under Mountain Lion, Mail is now sandboxed, and the new path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. During the upgrade, the folder contents are copied from the old location to the new, so the old location can be deleted to save some space.

Re: iCloud
One question I would like to ask is about Mail and iCloud. When you send an e-mail using your @icloud.com or @me.com account a copy of the e-mail appears on all your devices you have selected to sync to. No problems with that. But when you delete an e-mail on one device have can you make sure that the other copies on your other devices are deleted as well?

Answers to your questions in situ below. Short explanation of 'What is iCloud': The name iCloud is, in fact, nothing more than an arbitrary label given to a collection of features, services, settings, and APIs (application programming interfaces), joined by a common thread of relying on communication over the Internet between your Apple devices (Macs, iOS devices, and Apple TV) and Apple’s servers in the cloud. Short explanation of 'What is iCloud for': iCloud helps your devices integrate with each other. If you have more than one digital device—say, two Macs, or a PC and an iPhone, or an iPhone and an iPad, or an iPod touch and an Apple TV—it’s only natural to want all your devices to share many kinds of data. Prior to iCloud, MobileMe let you sync some data (mail, contacts, calendars, bookmarks) between devices seamlessly, but syncing other types of data (documents, photos, apps, and media) among all your devices was cumbersome and error-prone. With iCloud, syncing encompasses more kinds of data and requires less effort. In fact, the word “sync” almost becomes an anachronism; for the most part, iCloud pushes new or changed data almost instantly to all your devices. You can switch between devices with abandon, knowing your data is always wherever you need it.

No, iCloud does not take your contracts from your Mac. iCloud keeps everything you select when you setup iCloud, in sync to all your devices.

Whatever you set to sync when you setup iCloud 3. Which device takes preference in the sync? If I make alterations on both devices, e.g. laptop and ipad, and one alteration updates another, what happens?
