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!

Or, you could use Yahoo POP mail. I find POP easier to manage than IMAP.

comment What is accountsd and why does it want to use the “login” keychain?
p.s. Keep your Keychains handy by checking the box in Preferences to Show Status in Menubar.

It's not normal for accountsd to ask. If Keychain Repair doesn't fix this, let us know.

comment Mac Mail won't connect to Exchange 2007
Have you tried deleting that entry from the login keychain? Trashing Mail preferences file? Am assuming Restarts between trial fixes. too. And that you've run Disk Utility and repaired permissions, too.

comment Have: Single partition firewire HD w/ 10.5.8 (my StartUp Disk), 2 bootable USB drives (1st= 10.6.7, 2nd= 10.8.2). Want: upgrade firewire HD to 10.8.2
I would just--temporarily, at least--copy those files you don't want to lose over to your machine, erase, verify + repair (run Disk Utility, and Disk Warrior if you have it) the FW HD and do a fresh install of 10.8 - then applying updates. Of course, that ignores your constraint, but drag and drop would take but minutes. And this is so much cleaner than installing over.

comment My fiance's iPhone 4 is still running on iOS 5, now that 6.1.3 has been released can I upgrade her to 6.1.2 so she can use evasion?
It's not much of a stuck, though. Unless you need a fix for the Exchange bug, you're fine sitting at 6.1.2.

comment Viewing Composite Document File V2 Documents
When you Control-Click on the item, what shows up in the Open With menu? Preview? How about Safari? Device Independent Bitmaps are BMPs, a common Windows picture format. You might even be able to view them with QuickLook.

Your choice, of course--just saying, you can get at any file or directory, pseudo or not, and modify or delete it via these tools or their equivalent terminal commands.

comment iCloud says Password is Wrong Even Though I Know It's Right
Have you quit your browser, dumping cache and cookies, and Restarted your machine before going to iCloud.com? I would also check your keychain entry.

comment OSX Removing file under a “.vol”
Does this have to be via Terminal? However you do so, can't you view invisible files and delete it? I would use one of the little utilities to show invisibles, change permissions temporarily with BatChmod, and trash the file ... but I don't use the command line much.

Have you run Connection Doctor in Mail? Look under the Window menu. Click on any problem and it takes you to that setting.

comment Wireless both way sync of photos on iPhone
Sure. Simplest would be to remove them by hand, delete from Camera Roll and Photostream on phone. There are ways to clear the whole Photostream; warning: may cause headaches.
