Mac OS X 10.6.8. Stickies

On opening my Stickies, from the Dashboard, I found to my horror that a sticky containing some crucial info (not stored anywhere else in my house) has gone. Really stupid of me, I know, but now it has gone I really need to try and retrieve it. I have looked in preferences/com.apple.Stickies.plist and only Sticky is listed, which isn't the one that I need. There is nothing in my Trash, either.
Does anyone have any ideas, please? Thank you.

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

Top memory bank is not working on 2011 mac mini. Checked the ram stick which is working fine.

Hi all
Been using my 2011 Mac Mini since October 2011 with no issues at all. upgraded the Ram (2 x 8 =16gb crucial ddr3 1333 sodimm 204) which worked flaulessly since early 2012.
last week while workign on some ram intensive stuff my mac froze and made some funky sounds (kinda like C3PO beat boxing) and then would not reboot and beeped at me 3 times. I looked that beep up and it indicated a ram issue. I took out the first stick (closest to the twisty lid) and the mac boots indicating an issue with the bank i guess not the ram.
What i want to know is if this is possible to fix or if i should just limp on with 8gb ram.
Thanks
Harry

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have checked with both RAM modules that your Mac doesn't start up when a module is inserted in the first slot, this slot is damaged.
To replace the slot, the logic board has to be replaced, so it's an expensive repair. If you can live with 8 GB of memory, install only one memory module

Is there a good "Sticky note app that ACTUALLY put a Sticky Note on my iPad ( over my existing wallpaper images) on either the Home or Lock screens like how the Stickies app works on a Mac?

I have an iPad 3.
I tried two, One was a worthless piece of junk I wasted $2.99 on and the other is pretty good ($1.99) except is does not do a function I would like to use as advertised ( which is to create a sticking note that works like an app by creating an icon sized version of the original created sticky note, then clicking on an app icon size version of the originally created sticky note that you can tap on like an app and a large sticky note is supposed to appear. This does NOT work with an iPad.
Does anyone use a Stickies app for IOS that works exactly like how the Stickies app works on a Mac?
What good is a Stickies note app on iOS when it cannot put actual virtual stickies notes over the main IOS screens and wallpapers and remain there until they are no longer needed?
Does any one use a good stickies app on iPad? NOT iPhone or iPod Touch.

It really cannot be done in iOS due to the sandboxed security model of the operating system. No app can modify the "desktop" like that - they can only display their own "virtual" desktop when actually actively in use. so any stickie note app is the same as any simple note app - it must be open and active to display content. It cannot modify any screen but it's own when active.

Mac Pro DVD drive door sticking problems...

Hi all...
The aluminum drive door on one of my Mac Pro's 2 DVD drives sticks in the open ("down") position about 9 times out of 10 when in use. It has done this since I received it from Apple. Not a functional issue at all, so I didn't even think about sending it back at the time of arrival, thinking it might be just a bit stiff and "new"...
Now, over time, it has begun to get more annoying. I have tried everything in order to get it to work, sometimes seeming to have it fixed, but it ALWAYS returns to the "original state" of "stickiness"!!! Again, not a huge problem, but I'd like to get it seen about and figure out how to fix it once and for all. Anyone else having the same problem? I cannot take my Mac out of service, and this seems like such a simple thing...

Another poster fixed theirs by doing this…

Does Stickies still come with new Macs?

I've tried using Notes since Mountain Lion came out, and while I like the fact Notes syncs with iCloud, I do not find it to be as useful as Stickies.
(I like sync because I can switch as seemlessly as possible between my iMac and MBA when ever I need to without missing anything.)
Notes should not have been talked about as a "replacement for Stickies"... it is a completely different app and nothing like Stickies.
Today I am giving up on Notes and going back to using Stickies... the benefit of sync to iCloud is not enough to make up for:
- the ugly lines and extra border space taken up by Notes.
- the absence of the "send to new sticky note" service.
- the big ugly fonts
- it's inability to maintain font color and formatting when I copy/paste info out of Xcode.
Probably more differences I dislike... but those are the big reasons why I cannot stand using the Notes app, despite several months of effort trying to like it.
(sure, Notes is a nice way to get certain info onto my iPhone... but it's not a useful desktop app outside of that.)
Why not just implement iCloud sync for Stickies... an app that was already awesome for its simplicity and only lacked sync?
And finally: Is Stickies gone on new installations of OS X?
Thanks,
Brian

Thank you.
I went to the Apple store just to verify, and indeed it is still installed into the Utilities folder on new Macs.
They no longer put Stickies along the icon bar, it is replaced by Notes at that location but still available for people like me who want it.
Unrelated, but I held the iPhone 5 while at the store and the weight difference from the iPhone 4 had sounded minor to me, but turns out to make a *huge* difference when holding it, I was amazed at how light it was.

How do i get win 8.1. *pro* for mac parallels, deauthorizing win 8.1 pro and license rules for windows vms

ok, i've seen this question asked a number of times. i know the general procedure:
- first download some installer things to a window box so i can make a bootable DVD / flash drive
- go the mac and use the DVD / usb stick to install the virtual machine
great.. BUT :
1) unfortunately, i'm still really confused at the most basic part which is where (link) do i actually get the initial download thing to create the 8.1 *PRO* from microsoft and where (link) / how do i pay for the subscription key to install the thing????
i keep seeing a link for windows 8 or windows 8.1 where windows PRO is NEVER mentioned. i ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE a) PRO 64 bit and NOT vanilla windows and b) it MUST BE A FULL INSTALL (i'm not upgrading from windows 7, 8 or 8.1 NON pro.. i'm going
to be installing this thing on a brand new system.
i'm an IT guy for two decades and i can tell you trying to find, download, install a clean version of windows 8.1 PRO is a royal pita and nothing about windows 8.1 PRO is intuitive on the MS site. it's almost as if they do NOT want you to install the
thing. i'm not trying to bust jewels here, i'm just being honest and providing feedback that you folks need to make this much more clear and intuitive. people really shouldN'T have to post on forums to find out how to purchase, download and enter
in a subscription key for a base version of an OS. it's crazy.
2) once i can figure out how to download, install and register the darn thing ;)... i'm curious how the licensing works.
2a) first if my windows 8.1 pro experiment on mac parallels sucks, i want to be able to remove the authorization so i can reinstall 8.1 pro on another system.   can i / how do i do this in my scenario?
2b) i actually already bought windows pro 8.1 about a year ago (to upgrade a laptop that came with 8 that i needed to upgrade to vanilla 8.1 then to finally to pro) so that i could windows phone 8.1 development with simulator on the laptop. unfortunately
the laptop maxed out at 4G and the performance of the emulator was ridiculously slow that it's unusable. i'd love to somehow be able to put the laptop back to windows *vanilla* 8.1 and reclaim my 8.1 pro that i *already* purchased by removing the authorization
from that laptop allowing me to reinstall the full 8.1 pro with the same key on the mac with parallels. then i can sell the laptop that has sat there collecting dust for a year and regain my windows 8.1 pro investment vs having to buy another copy for
the mac.
i have no idea how to do this though i think it should be possible. can anybody tell me where / how i do this?
note the win pro 8.1 install never went well so i actually had some guy from MS login to my laptop remotely and do the install.. in doing so i believe he wiped away the original windows vanilla 8.1 recovery partition asus put on the drive meaning i'm not
sure i can get the laptop back to 8.1 or 8 vanilla so i can resell it functionally to another person while removing my 8.1 *pro* license from it.   any suggestions here highly welcome.
2c) once i get the windows 8.1 pro installed in a vm under parallels, i'll have one licensed copy running. my guess is that is what i'm limited to. but when you start working with VMs the whole purpose is to be able to create multiple test
enviornments and dispose of them when you don't need them etc.   since the window will be tied to the single mac hw id, will i be able to install multiple *win* vms (duping an exising win vm for instance) from the one license or must i purchase
multiple win licenses for each win vm on the SAME system?   if you need a new license for each vm, wouldn't i have to do a FULL WINDOWS INSTALL every time i wanted to create another windows VM.. THAT IS CRAZILY INEFFICIENT...
there has to be some kind of option to dup a windows licensed vm on the SAME system yes? what are the rules / procedures for making this work.
i'm using parallels on mac as an example but the same question would apply to using hyperV (which i know nothing about at this point) as the virtual host platform as well.
i'm open to well thought out links that actually answer these questions succinctly in addition to comments here
thanks in advance

How can I move an existing iTunes library from a Dell PC (which uses Windows Vista) to a MacBook Pro? I have tried to copy the library from the PC onto a memory stick but cannot move from the stick onto the MacBook Pro.

I have tried to copy my iTunes library from my old (2008) Dell PC to a 32 GB memory stick and then copy it from the stick to the iTunes library in the new MacBook Pro which I purchased recently from a reputable dealer which resells refurbished Macs, (lease returns, etc). The dealer was Computer Trends store in Saskatoon. They told me how to move my existing iTunes libary from the PC to the Mac but I cannot seem to achieve that objective. The Mac does not seem to recognize the memory stick. I thought the Mac would recognize that the memory stick held iTunes files and would then transfer them without prompting to its own iTunes libary. It did not do so. I have therefore tried to find the command sequence within iTunes (on the Mac) for moving the material from the memory stick to the iTunes library. Cannot find those commands. Does anybody know where to find such commands. I have to say, I am really disappointed that such a simple function would prove to be beyond my capabilities. I thought the Mac was supposed to be easier than a PC. !!! Oh well, I am hoping this forum will help !!!

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
So, you can see your whole iTunes folder on the memory stick after copying from the PC?

Can i export an album from iphoto to a memory stick with the album title to identify the the file

I would like to put my photos as per album on to a memory stick, can this be done with the named albums, so I can highlight the album then open the chosen title and then select the chosen photo, I only have iphoto on my mac and have a 32GB memory stick, Hazel

If you want you can export the contents of that album via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and select File Name = Use Album Name with Number and each photo will be exported with the Album Name as the file name followed by a sequential number, i.e. Album Name-01.jpg, Album Name-02.jpg, etc.
Then put them in a folder and drag the folder onto the memory stick.

Mac vs PC for graphic design

I've been working in a graphics department of my architecture firm for 7 years. We've been using PCs all of that time, but I can't help thinking my graphics team might be better off using Macs. Our workflow involves many other users in the office who aren't graphics staff. They all use AutoCAD, Sketchup, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, 3d Studio etc. (I'm happy with them having PCs). They all have Adobe CS3 installed on their PCs, and make modifications to images, layout, text, plans, sections and elevations. We all contribute to the finished product, usually a PDF, over a Windows server during the production period.
I find myself wondering why most of the graphics studios that surround me in London's Noho use Macs. What are the real world benefits over PCs?
I can think of these few, but my design world use of Macs has ground to a halt these past seven years:
- Macs are design industry standard. I've always heard this mentioned, but why? What is it about them that have made them a design industry standard?
- Switching files from Mac to PC is a non-issue, even over a server, they integrate well
- Macs are more reliable. OS X uses less RAM freeing the machine up to drive software
- Macs offer better colour accuracy, especially for print
My IT team here are extremely reluctant to even let us try a Mac in our workflow. They say, and I quote: "...someone needs to demonstrate a rock-solid, obvious-to-everyone reason to start bringing them in. So give me something obvious. Give me something to offset the cost, etc, penalty of bringing Macs in."
It's a battle. Can anyone out there offer any thoughts?
Cheers. Ashley

>2 relatively virus free at present (can't recall the last virus we had)
I can recall. It was the mid to late 1990s and it ran all over the place because Mac users had their head buried in the sand and did not use anti-virus software.
Being relatively free of viruses is no benefit. Statistics showing how many more viruses affect Windows are useless. It only takes one virus to knock you out. The majority of Mac users ignore virus protection while Windows users are more often aware and already have anti-virus software installed and auto-updating. What happens when a widespread virus finally hits unprotected Mac OSX users? Like most every other Windows user, I haven't cared about viruses on Windows in a decade since the AV software takes care of it for me.
Viruses are not really the concern. Viruses are only programs that try to exploit the system. There is no need to send a virus to a Mac if you can exploit it more directly. Mac OS has had some serious security holes that allow remote attackers root access to the system with minimal effort, even if the Mac OS firewall is turned on.
>AutoCAD... 3d Studio
Running AutoCAD and 3D Studio is the Mac deal breaker. You must stick with Windows. You could run these apps on a Mac if you ran a virtual Windows OS on top of Mac OS, but then you're still running Windows (and with less available RAM since you are running two OSs at once). The other option is to have a dual boot system so that you could boot into Windows directly; but rebooting is a time waster.
So the switch to Mac is just an expensive way to:
buy new hardware
waste time/money converting app licenses from Windows to Mac
waste time/money troubleshooting quirks of integrating a new system within your company
spend time retraining staff on multiple systems.
The reason why you see other design shops using Mac is the same reason why you are using Windows: lock in. At one point, Mac was better (or assumed better) for graphics, just like SGI and Amiga computers were once assumed better for graphics and video. Likewise, Windows (or any system running on Intel) was assumed to be the best for 3D. If a company invests in a platform, they easily lock themselves into using that platform because it is so expensive to switch.
Those that want the gooey goodness of the Mac GUI can tweak Windows to mimic it. There are freeware apps to add a dock, Exposé, Spaces, etc to Windows.
>The "i" apps such as iPhoto, iDVD, Garage Band are slightly easier to install, obtain, and use than their counterparts in Windows.
What counterparts?
>It's a battle. Can anyone out there offer any thoughts?
What is a battle? If you can't even think of nor prove a valid reason yourself, then there's no point in fighting for it.

Why does a "script' text in design appear as non script (block) in browser preview in CS5 on a Mac?

I have amended text within the design field and selected "Brush Script MT Italic. In the design view in Dreamweaver CS5 it appears in this script but when I preview it either in Dreamweaver "preview in browser" or after uploading and viewing in browser the text appears in a non script format.
The source code is :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<body>
<p>This is a test.</p>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
And the linked CSS style sheet reads:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
p {
font:"Brush Script MT Italic";
I am using a Mac with Lion OS. I have tried many script font but the result is the same.
DC

There are only a minimal amount of web safe fonts to be used in your webpage design. Frush Script MT Italic is not one. What happens is it might display on the computer that has that font, but on a person web browsing computer, if the font is not installed, then it will use the default font (usually times new roman or equivelant on Mac). It is best to stick with the web safe fonts (google it) unless you use the font in a graphic.

Notes/project management/stickies sync?

i'm trying to finalize some tweaks after porting to the mac and I find myself using Stickies these days. Is there a way to get this to happen across two computers and my iPhone 4?
Are there other options for more robust project management type apps such as this or a COMPLEMENTARY set of tools for this?
I've tried Things (not for me) and I have Omni Focus (slightly involved from what I can see) but I have not found anything quite as intuitively straighforward as Stickies. I am currently checking out Together and may even buy FileMaker at some point.
Also I found this; p://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/StickiesSync.shtml
Any recommendations? I'm also using Dropbox.

Mac Newbie trying to get a handle on photoshop pull downs

I am fairly new to osx and really love the design of photoshop with one exception: layer pull downs. When I used photoshop on a pc I could select the layer mode and then up or down arrow key to preview how a layer mode would look. I could just up arrow or down arrow and see what different looks each layer mode would cause. On the mac, I find that I have to click and drag every time. Is there a way to get the arrow keys to work? I found that after a days work my arm was actually sore from needing to constantly click and drag.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

They most certainly do, at least on my machine. I double checked before posting. The up/down arrows work to move through the blending modes, but you don't get previews as you cycle through them.

Exported MP4 Pixilates on PC (OK on Mac)

I exported a MP4 for you tube settings and it plays fine on the mac, I transfered it to memory stick then played on PC, it is pixilating in certain areas. I then formatted the stick and tried again, same result so I put it on another HD and tryed (this time on 3 different PC's) and same result but still playing fine on Mac....Any ideas other that telling everyone to get a Mac??

telling everyone to get a Mac??
What media player? Have you actually uploaded it to YouTube yet? How does it look there?
