Have you installed anything new or done any updates recently, especially right before the problem started? MacOS updates, MS Office updates, new printer, new game? Something in particular we can investigate further? Are your MacOS updates in fact current? Have you tried a permissions repair? (Jon: I agree that's not a magic bullet but it can't hurt anything to try) Could be a power management issue. Try resetting the power management unit (PMU) by shutting down, unplugging the power cord for 15-20 seconds, then put everything back, turn on and test. If still no improvement, we could try resetting the parametric RAM (PRAM), and resetting the non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). Email back for further instructions if needed. Beyond that, it may be time for a closer, hands-on look. Any number of DMMUGgers (myself included) would be happy to help you out. Keep us posted.

Message-ID: <4B465E5C.9010701@brothersofchaos.com> Dragon Naturally Speaking is a windows-only package. The company that distributes Dragon NS also has a dictation package for Macintosh called 'MacSpeech Dictate'. It is similar in cost to the 'preferred' edition of Dragon NS ($199). It requires an Intel-based Mac with Leopard or better (10.5.6). It comes with a USB noise-cancelling mic if you buy the full version (upgrade version doesn't come with the mic, but you'd obviously need the full version).

We used the program "Reunion" about 8 years ago, inputting a lot of genealogy data and backed it up on a ZIP 250 disk. A computer crash, time out to care for my mom & a 5 year old business later, I'm trying to get the data back in a format I can use. I took the ZIP disk to my MAC dealer in Cedar Falls & they thought they would be able to burn the data onto a CD. However, they said it was a "funny" "different" format and they couldn't retrieve it. I can't run the Reunion 7 software on my current IMAC OS10.5+ because it won't run Classic. When I found what I think is the data backed up another place, & tried to open it on my iBook, which still will run Classic, I get an error message. Thanks for your input & suggestions in advance.

If the problem is just that you don't have access to a machine that uses the classic OS, or that the classic OS running inside OS X can't read it properly, then I could try to help somehow. I think the problem may just end up being that the old Zip disk has degraded to such a level that the data is corrupt. I don't know that anyone would consider corrupt data a 'funny' different format, though. If the reunion software wrote directly to the disk without using a filesystem, then that could possibly be the problem -- you would need the software installed on the mac reading the disk to retrieve the data. It seems kinda improbable to me that that would be the case, but it would be possible. When you used the zip disk to backup the data, were you able to save other things to the disk from other programs? Stephen Moe wrote: > I'm looking for suggestions.

Usually, adding a custom icon is not that big of a deal. In your case, however, I see a few issues that might be getting in the way. Just like they told you in that support doc from apple that you referenced, the usual procedure is two steps: 1) copy a custom icon from the 'get info' window 2) open the 'get info' window of the thumb drive, select the icon, and hit paste. That's it. Usually. Your situation is different in three ways. Firstly, there seems to be some general confusion about the difference between a preview icon and a custom icon. You might already know all this, but I'll state it for the benefit of the group. A preview icon is when the Finder looks at the contents of a file and creates an icon on the fly to 'preview' what the image looks like. This can be turned on and off in "View Options" (Command-J) in the Finder. The Finder will happily show you a preview icon for most graphics files, but it will not do this for a thumb drive. A custom icon is fixed (i.e. it doesn't depend on the contents of the file). What you want is a custom icon. What it sounds like you are doing, is copying the default PNG icon from your image file and pasting that as your thumb drive's icon. Secondly, I see that the image that you want to use for your thumb drive's icon is in a PNG file. Most tutorial sites will tell you to use developer tools or a bit of freeware to create an icon from your custom image (check out http://img2icnsapp.com/). The easier way is just to open the image file - Preview will work fine for this - then 'select all' and 'copy'. Now that the image is on the pasteboard, you can open the get info box of your thumb drive, select the icon up at the top by the drive's name, and paste. Your mac will create the icon for you. Lastly, and this is the kicker, you are doing this on a MS-DOS formatted thumb drive. That's OK too. Those are good for cross platform compatibility. The problem is that in my tests, only the first custom icon applied to this kind of drive works properly. Subsequent 'pasting' of icons don't seem to work. So, you'll need to reformat the drive before changing the icon. To do this, open up Disk Utility, select the thumb drive in the list of devices on the left, and go to the erase tab. Select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format, enter in a name and hit erase. Now when you paste in your custom icon, it should work.

I was talking to Jon Thompson this morning about the "bug" and he suggested force-quitting the Finder. This allowed a second custom icon to paste in properly.

In your case, however, I see a few issues that might be getting in the way. Just like they told you in that support doc from apple that you referenced, the usual procedure is two steps: 1) copy a custom icon from the 'get info' window 2) open the 'get info' window of the thumb drive, select the icon, and hit paste. That's it. Usually. > > Your situation is different in three ways. > > Firstly, there seems to be some general confusion about the difference between a preview icon and a custom icon. You might already know all this, but I'll state it for the benefit of the group. A preview icon is when the Finder looks at the contents of a file and creates an icon on the fly to 'preview' what the image looks like. This can be turned on and off in "View Options" (Command-J) in the Finder. The Finder will happily show you a preview icon for most graphics files, but it will not do this for a thumb drive. A custom icon is fixed (i.e. it doesn't depend on the contents of the file). What you want is a custom icon. What it sounds like you are doing, is copying the default PNG icon from your image file and pasting that as your thumb drive's icon. > > Secondly, I see that the image that you want to use for your thumb drive's icon is in a PNG file. Most tutorial sites will tell you to use developer tools or a bit of freeware to create an icon from your custom image (check out http://img2icnsapp.com/). The easier way is just to open the image file - Preview will work fine for this - then 'select all' and 'copy'. Now that the image is on the pasteboard, you can open the get info box of your thumb drive, select the icon up at the top by the drive's name, and paste. Your mac will create the icon for you. > > Lastly, and this is the kicker, you are doing this on a MS-DOS formatted thumb drive. That's OK too. Those are good for cross platform compatibility.

Do I > lose anything? > > > Regarding "empty cache" I think it's unnecessary unless you're continually low on disk space or you're concerned about someone using your computer to see what sites you visit. Disks are 100 times faster than even a very fast Internet connection. Safari keeps files you've accessed over a standard, non-secure connection on the hard drive. Websites you've visited over a secure connection (like your bank or whatever) are not cached to the disk. Next time you visit a website that you visited in the past, if the file is already saved in your cache then it will make the page load faster because some parts of the page that haven't changed will not be loaded over the relatively slow connection. On older systems hard drives had a problem called "fragmentation" that slowed your computer if you used it a lot. Newer hard drives no longer get fragmented unless the disk is nearly full. Caching in the old days would cause excess fragmentation, but this isn't a problem any more. If someone sat down at your computer while you were away and viewed the files relating to websites you've visited would you suffer some type of loss (emotional, financial, etc)? If so, and the chance of someone sitting at your computer and poking around is high enough that you are concerned then you may want to set your browser to clear it often. If your computer is often full then go into preferences and change the "Remove history items" to a short period of time (one day, or one week). -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin, identi.ca and twitter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My only real concern in the wake of the announcement this week is what I've read about the potential for eye-strain with the iPad's kind of screen vs. the Kindle's approach. This might be a deal-breaker for me. I'm not too concerned about the lack of multi-tasking -- it might help break my obsessive checking of email and certain web sites -- even though I've gotta admit that keyboard/dock thing had me thinking at first that this might replace my desktop. I can see that happening five years from now, but not with version 1.0. Overall, I'm still pretty excited about iPad. I don't have a smart phone (nor have any serious interest in one), but like the idea of an e-reader that doubles as a web access tool that's more portable than my laptop.
