I use Mozilla because it includes an e-mail

client, but I’ve been having problems with

my cookies. What can I do?

First, try deleting the preferences files, org.

mozilla.mozilla.plist and com.netscape.mozilla.

plist. There is also the possibility your cookie

file may be damaged. That’s buried in your

home folder – shown as a ~ (tilde) at ~/Library/

Mozilla/Profiles/Al Choy/randomtext.slt/cookies.

txt. Another suggestion would be to switch to

the newer project called SeaMonkey ... It has

Web browsing, newsgroups, e-mail and IRC

chat and HTML editing all-in-one. See www.

mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/.

I have a iBook with a broken hinge on the

left side. The AppleCare contract has just

expired. Is this normal?

I wouldn’t call it normal, but not unheard of.

You can send it away to www.powerbookresq.

com/ for repair. It will be $-$ for "or "

iBook G models. They are in Kansas, just out-

side of Kansas City. That’s a bit cheaper than

Apple would charge. It’s a rather labor intensive

repair.

I’m trying to back up my PowerBook

G (four-months-old) that has developed

problems. Where can I find Preferences and

Caches of things I’ve downloaded, so I can

save them. Podcasts and such?

All of these things are in various folders in your

Home folder. Your applications’ preferences are

kept in the home folder’s library/preferences/

folder. You generally don’t want any cache files.

Podcasts can be found in~/music/itunes/tunes

music/podcasts and and purchased music would

be in a folder by the artist’s name inside the

~/music/itunes/itunesmusic/folder. The pur-

chased music is usually an while your other

music would be .mp format. The default for

ripping your own CDs would be AAC format,

so the files would have a .ma or .mb file

name extension. You should also know that

your iPhoto images are in your ~/pictures/iphoto

library/ folder, your ~/documents folder, where

Mac OS X wants to save everything is in the

Home folder, and any files and folders on your

Desktop is in the ~/Desktop folder, so if you

backup the whole home folder, you should

catch all your important files. By the way,

Microsoft Entourage saves all your e-mail in

your ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data folder.

Set multiple folder views via Automator

By Rob Grifﬁths

Do you prefer to use one type of Finder window,

and only one type? If so, you’re probably some-

what frustrated by OS X’s ability to seemingly

randomly pick a different view. You like using

icons, for instance, but ﬁnd that some folders in

your home folder open in list or column view. Sure,

you can change each one as it opens, but that’s

a bit of a pain. If you’ve upgraded to 10.4, there’s

a simple solution available, thanks to Automator.

Obviously, the following steps could be used for

any folder on your machine, but we’ll use your

user’s folder for this example.

First, make sure you can see your user’s folder

in the Finder. The easiest way to do this is to click

on your computer’s name in the sidebar, or click

on your home folder and then hit Command-Up

Arrow. You should now see your actual user’s

folder, along with those of any other users you’ve

created on your system. Leave this window open,

then launch Automator, in /Applications. Position

the Automator window and the Finder window

you left open such that you can see both at once.

Now drag and drop your user’s folder into the

blank area on the right side of the Automator

window. If you don’t have enough screen space

to see both windows, switch to the Finder, click

and hold on your user’s folder, then hit F9 to

activate Exposé, drag your user’s folder over the

Automator window, hit F9 again (or just wait a

second), then drop the folder.

Next, still in Automator, click on the Finder

item in the Library column, and then drag Set

Folder Views from the Actions column into the

right-hand workspace. Drag and drop it below the

Most notably the office  Identities/Main

Identity sub-folder and the Saved Attachments

sub-folder. Apple’s Mail saves your mail in the ~/

Library/Mail/ folder. In case it is not clear, your

Home folder in stored on your hard drive in the

Users folder.

My PowerMac G had to have the software

reinstalled and I reinstalled the Epson scanner

software with the CD it came with, but I get a

message about missing TWAIN driver? How

can I fix it?

TWAIN is the scanner driver framework. The

Epson installer will put in a TWAIN Data Source

file. (It goes in the /Library/Image Capture/

TWAIN Data Sources/ folder. You forgot to go

to Epson’s Web site and download the updated

software that actually works with your Mac’s

(Q&A continues on Page .)

I just received some good news: the CAD pro-

gram that I use is up to twice as fast on the new

Xeon Quad Mac Pro workstations from Apple

as compared to previous generation Power Mac

G desktops. The new dual-core -bit Xeon

chips (Woodcrest) deliver an astounding per-

formance boost.

This comes from the software developer

– not from Apple, and it’s music to my ears. Yes,

now I have to purchase one, but after all we

have gone through and the queions that have

come up, this is encouraging. For the la few

years it has been iPod this and iPod that. It is

great to know that Apple can ill make a ﬁne,

fa computer. As far as I’m concerned, this is

what computing is all about. 0

Unformatting

Pasted Copy in

Adobe InDesign

CS2:

If you’re as bad a

typist as I am, you’re

going to love this new

feature in InDesign

CS2. You have to add

a long URL to the

end of a paragraph

of body copy. This

Web address already

exists in another

layout but using an

entirely different

paragraph style. No

problem! Just Copy

(Edit > Copy), pick an

insertion point in your

new paragraph, and

go to Edit > Paste

without Formatting.

The URL is pasted

with the formatting of

your new paragraph.

What to do when

plist ﬁles go awry.

If your favorite

application keeps

crashing, fails to

load, or freezes

your Mac, the

problem could be

within your plist ﬁles.

Property list (plist)

ﬁles store speciﬁc

application settings

and preferences,

and are usually

found in either the

Library/Preferences

Directory in the root

directory of your

hard drive, or in the

Library/Preferences

Directory in your

User name folder.

Plist ﬁles are listed

according their host

application: for

example, TextEdit’s

plist ﬁle is named

com.apple.TextEdit.

plist (The beginning

part of the name,

com.apple, indicates

the vendor that cre-

ated the applica-

tion.)
