iPhone may file for divorce automatically!

November 24, 2008 in mac | No comments

I found the below interesting iPhone issue (? :-) ? ) on the apple discussion forum:

Pictures automatically attach to e-mail?
Posted: Nov 11, 2008 1:59 PM
Please help! I took my husband’s i-phone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file (a Yahoo account). When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) he admitted that he took the picture but says that he never sent it to anyone. He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him that it is an i-phone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!

Images don’t automatically attach to emails.

I hope you and your husband can work things out though.

I have never heard of such a glitch.

An email will not be in an account’s Sent mailbox unless the message was successfully sent, and an email with a photo attached cannot be created by itself and sent without user interaction.

“the brick” or Apple 2.0

October 6, 2008 in operating systems, os x | No comments

After my initial article on what the next famous plans of Steve Jobs might be (rumors tell us about an announcement on 14th October 2008), I found this interesting article yesterday: Apple 2.0 Has Steve Jobs built a secret MacBook factory? Besides the rumors I summarized in my original article this publication claims it might be the secret behind the “brick” might be the following:
“What the Brick really is, according to Weintraub’s sources, is a block of high-quality, aircraft grade aluminum out of which Apple’s new laptops will be carved using robot-controlled lasers and high-powered jets of water in Jobs’ new factory.”

“the brick” from Apple, published on 14th october 2008

October 4, 2008 in os x | 1 comment

More and more riddle about “The Brick” from Apple are raising up in different blogs.

Steve Jobs announced a new Apple product appearing on the market by end of the year, code named “The Brick” seems to be confirmed by Apple but there are - as usually - no more hints or information. There are a lot of speculations what The Brick might be:

a new MacBook
a new MacBook Pro
a wireless USB hub
a Mac Pro mini tower
a new Mac mini or a new Apple TV line

Other believe that The Brick is not only looking physically like a brick. After all, how do you break “Windows”? Got it? You throw a brick through them! These people believe that “the Brick” is Apple’s code word for its “Windows-killer”, be it a brand new product, or simply a series of price cuts and updates to existing Apple products so irresistible that no-one will think of buying Microsoft anymore.

Last but not least the “Window-killer” could be as well a the new OS X version 10.6. It has been announced for later next year only, but who knows? We’ll all see on 14th October 2008 …

Update: read as well this article - “the brick” or Apple 2.0

Get Time Machine In Leopard Work

June 29, 2008 in operating systems, os x | 2 comments

After trying to follow different instructions without success I found a workaround which works fine for me. (External disk connected via USB to my Airport Base station).
There is a hidden system preference that needs to be change. This can be done by typing the following command in the Terminal (in ONE(!) line).

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

After doing this the disk appeared in my network connections and was available to Time Machine without any further modification.

The initial kicked-off backup took about 2 days but now I have a constant wireless backup solution which works quite fast. This gives me additional security for small changes I make during a week - main backup is still done via firewire or usb disks connected solely and directly to my mac.
