Ongoing Mail problems
Sent messages keep appearing in the Drafts folders a few hours after they've been sent: they appear in the Sent folders too. I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes but it keeps happening. Messages *seem* to disappear from Inboxes and Sent too, although since I can't always remember what has come in and gone out and wh... 3 Aug 2010 08:09

MacBook Pro Failure
I've got a 2006 era Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (non Unibody) that appears to have died overnight. When I went to it this morning it was frozen and when I cycled the power it did not restart. It is not responding to the power button at all. PSU fault, logic board fault? Any tests or steps I can try to check it out ... 6 Aug 2010 12:42

It's Baaack! GPG mail plugin lives on!
If like me, you were struggling without a decent crypto GUI for mail in Leopard and Snow Leopard, fret no more. Even more elegant than the discontinued plugin from PGP Corp and a breeze to install (providing you already have GPG which is easy enough too) get it from http://www.gpgmail.org/ -- To de-mung ... 7 Aug 2010 05:03

iPad case
Somewhat to my surprise, I have bought an iPad. What's a good case to get for it, for travelling with? It needs to be one I can expect to find in town, at an Apple Store or John Lewis etc. Thanks, Daniele ... 5 Aug 2010 18:03

My BiL was holding his iPhone up to the camera and I read the mirror-writing settings, but couldn't see very much in the Sending Mail Settings part. My ph... 5 Aug 2010 13:34

FileMaker Pro v11 missing print options
When printing anything with FileMaker Pro v11 on my wife's computer (iMac17 OSX 10.5.8), the Print dialog is missing the application options, including Print Records being browsed or Current record. FileMaker Pro v8 displays those options on her machine, as does every other application on her machine. FileMake... 2 Aug 2010 13:40

Synch Voice Memos
Anyone else use the Voice Memos app on the iPhone? Anyone else have trouble getting it *not* to sync with iTunes? I've unchecked "Include Voice Memos" in iTunes, but every time I sync I get a *new* copy of every voice memo in my iTunes music library. Martin S Taylor ... 2 Aug 2010 14:46

When did that happen (iPhone)?
Noticed recently that when composing texts I'd get a red underline on misspelled words. Now I've just found out that if you double-tap a word when composing (in most applications it seems) you get a cut/copy/paste/replace pop-up with alternate word suggestions/spellings! Very useful indeed! An iOS4 thing I assu... 10 Aug 2010 05:51
