I take it you are objecting to the lack of passivity in my statements.
I assumed nothing.
My statement stands. Healthy humans are making themselves educational cripples by clutching at "smart solutions", which aren't.
Ms Word manages to mark down the Gettysburg Address and Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" Speech.
It is no wonder people can no longer spell, find their way around, know where, or what anything is, let alone think for themselves, and get diabetes in their teens. All because they jump on cue when anyone says "Buy".

Thanks, but this is a problem that began immediately after I installed 9.0.1
this week...I haven't changed any settings that would cause this.

I would like to know how I might find the OSX 10.9 Install file that the app store put on my hard drive. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

The app store download is so slow at my house that I don't want to do it more than once and I don't see the file anywhere, even looked for hidden files. But Directory structure is dense and I surely haven't looked everywhere yet.
I would like to archive it on media that is physically independent of my mac.
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

I wish to export several frames from iMovie as if they were images (like JPEGs or TIFFs). Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to 'add a freeze frame' to isolate the desired frames but I can't export it. Thanks.

Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
G5 PCIe options are listed here:

Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

Find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/1: this may be a bug

hi all,
when i 'find / -name abc' , it say:
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/1: this may be a bug in your
filesystem driver.Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier
results may have failed to include directories that should have been
searched.
my kernel is 2.6.25, filesytem is ext2/boot ext3/other
thank you!

I'll highlight the important parts from that link for you:
Question wrote:I routinely use "find / -name ......", so how do I eliminate /proc from the search path?
Answer wrote:
I almost always use the "-xdev" option to prevent 'find' from descending
into file systems other than the ones I explcitly specified, e.g.,
find -xdev / /usr /var ...
It's pretty rare that I actually want to search my entire system, which
would include a news spool, a seldom used MS-Windows file system,
possibly a mounted CD or DVD, ..., and of course /proc.
why_no_proc wrote:The problem with the link count in /proc is that it changes every time a
process is created or terminates, so the number of directories that
'find' sees during processing might not agree with the link count that
it read at the start. I admit that doesn't seem terribly likely unless
the system is quite busy, but it can certainly happen.

I burned an exercise DVD using disk utility and when I played it in my DVD player it was choppy and skipped. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

In my contacts, I want to edit information. Some of this information is 'grayed out' and I am not able to delete it - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

In my contacts, I want to edit information. Some of this information is 'grayed out' and I am not able to delete it - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

For example: SusanX has quit her job and I still have her employment email address and phone number. All her other information is the same but I want to delete the information no long viable. When I go into edit mode the information is grayed out and is not deletable. I went to my iCloud and tried to delete it there, no luck.
I am thinking I might just have to delete the entire contact card and just start from scratch with only her current information. Seems like there should be a way to delete only parts of the information rather that resort to start a new contact card.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to advise me on this.

You need to contact Intuit, from this page: http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/questions-answers.jsp
There's a link there for converting data from Peachtree to Quickbooks, which requires you to contact them; clicking on that Contact Us link for that FAQ item takes you to another page where you select which product you have, so they can address your needs.
