A writer, on Macs since the moment I laid eye on the Powerbook in late '92. Bought it the next day, and damn near every portable since. What a ride!

comment Why does Office for Mac need Safari and Chrome closed for installation?
Office does indeed add fonts - curiously, in a folder within your /Library/Fonts folder. Remove or keep at will.

I would delete that account from the phone, temporarily, or at least be sure and make it Inactive in settings.

comment Mac App Store Updates notifications, Mountain Lion?
Looks like others are stuck, too, trying to get the App Store into the Notification Center on the Mac. Won't go. I don't want to buy Growl unless it Notifies on Mac App Store purchases updates. Any ideas?

Just notice, you can add it to Finder menu bar.

I don't have the tools for it, but is this a sym link? Its permissions are fine, should allow. Notice how you can't do a normal Get Info?

Try using an earlier version of Airport Utility (for the Mac.) I remember that 5.6 did the trick for me, and once set up, the newer AU worked.

comment Airport express and Airport utility
I'm saying it's not a hack fix in Mountain Lion but a perfectly well-working utility, thanks.

comment My clock is slow over long period of time - Macbook Pro 2011 13"
P-RAM batteries used to be replaceable. Maybe an independent repair person. Definitely reset P-RAM first (aka NV-RAM) - your machine is new enough, that should do it.

comment Is there a way to enable “Services” menu for an application?
Have you tried adding a Keyboard Shortcut for the application in System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts/Application Shortcuts ? Odd that HipChat didn't install any Services, I find every app I install is allowed to do so by default, and one must go find and uncheck them. Bad design, Apple. bad.

comment Why is Safari 6 so slow?
Ia there no other way around this but buying more RAM? I do run Memory Freer periodically while browsing, but this is ridiculous, and not fixed in 10.8.4.
