How do I delete SPAM without selecting it. On my older Mac there was a way, but on my newer one I can't figure out how to do it. When I select the SPAM messages they open immediately. I'm assuming that merely opening it sends a message to those who've spammed me.

I have a spam calendar invitation. I am pretty sure it did not come through email, since I can't find any email message in inbox, junk, trash, or anywhere else, with any content that matches this spam event.
Besides, "Add new invitations to Calendar" has been set to "Never" all along.
How can I get rid of this invitation without sending a reply to the spammer?
I read is to move it to a local "on my mac" calendar first. I don't have any such calendar, and can't see a way to create one!

Immediately press and hold the Option key. After a few seconds, the Startup Manager should appear. The Startup Manager scans for available available volumes. <- This doesn't work at all. I'm using apple wireless keyboard.

I've set up Gmail on my mac mail account but I cannot work out how to stop the spam mailbox getting hundreds a day. Its up to about 6000 now. I can of coruse just clear it out, but then I still keep getting messages in my 'Mail Activity' section saying that more mail is incoming and builds back up again.I know spam is not really a major issue if its just getting caught up in the rightful section anyway, but its just an irritant to get so much spam and seeing my Mail Activity box constantly active.

I received an e-mail from an old friend with an attachment.I inadvertently clicked on it and it started to download;which i stopped. Nothing shows up on my desktop,what steps/where should I look to see if there's any potential spam? I guess I should consider my e-mail could be compromised?

These get stopped by the Junk filter at Bell support / Outlook.comSame message - different names over and over. Changed password. Computer is off. Access email on remote computer and they keep showing up. Is this coming from my computer system, my IP or some 3rd party? Here is a a typical email 13 just showed up. I have grayed out my address..

Of all the things I've learned to do on a Mac over the years, and with all the help I've provided here at MR, I still don't know how to do the following:
On a rolled out dialog box like the one shown below, how does one go about selecting something other than the highlighted button (in this case Save...) using the keyboard?
I think Escape usually works to select Cancel, but how would I select Don't Save using the keyboard? Why can't I simply Tab over to it and hit the space bar or Enter?
While we're at it, I'm familiar with taking a screenshot of an entire window (CMD+SHIFT+4 followed by Space) but that doesn't seem to work to take a screenshot of a window + the dialog box, other than the sloppy way I just did?
The trackpad of my macbookair (2012) keeps selecting. On the screen appear squares and while using applications it keeps selecting...the problem started suddenly, while I was working in Word, no clear cause...

I'm trying to print some documents from my new MacBook aluminum. The printer is connected to a computer which is running Vista. I can print documents from my old dell laptop and my PC desktop which are both running XP over the network. I can also share files between them all. I can see the files that are shared with the MacBook but I cannot select the network printer. Please keep in mind that I am new to OS X leopard.

I have decided that I want to use that money for a wireless printer. I have narrowed it down to two choices.
Which of these two printers do you think is best/fastest/most functional? Please provide reasons.

Selecting tracks in iTunes, using AppleScript, remains a mystery to me. For example, this short script:tell application "iTunes" set t to first track of current playlist select tend tellI think the script is obvious, but I get this error instead:iTunes got an error: URL track id 896882 of user playlist id 896879 of source id 76 doesn’t understand the select message.(well, if the select command is not made for selecting tracks, what else in iTunes?) Thinking it may be because iTunes expect a list, I then try this:tell application "iTunes" set t to {first track of current playlist} select tend tellBut the same error happens. Finally, out of idea, I try this:tell application "iTunes" set t to {first track of current playlist} set selection to tend tell I get this, now:iTunes got an error: Unknown object type.(in the “selection” line).
I've also tried things like this:tell application "iTunes" set t to selection select tend tell To be sure the data is the expected type, but the same error happens. Now, I'm really out of idea. I have over 8'000 files to sort, and I made a script to get every duplicate track, but now I can't select them (I can only uncheck the checkbox, for visual feedback, but it's far from ideal).I can't think it's not possible to select some tracks in iTunes.

I cannot find a way to select non-contiguous text in Safari. Select>Command>select does not work (as it does in Text Edit.
I am very surprised that I can't locate any information on this via google, yahoo, etc.
The only item I did find is something called "Safari Magic" but it looks pretty old and costs $19.
So here I am hoping to get "truth" from the source (or any kind person). I'm in Snow Leopard; Safari 5.1.5.

When i am using Parallels 6 and i try to click on a Windows 64 Windows such as Explorer or any other program... parallels dosent let me select it. has anyone had this problem. Its like the mouse cant click on the windows... so I have to use keyboard shortcuts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUnder Leopard and prior, in List view you can highlight a line by selecting anywhere on the line. However, to actually select the file to drag it, etc, you had to select the file name itself, clicking the date etc wouldn't allow you to drag the file.
Well, in Snow Leopard, you can now select anywhere on the line and it will allow you to drag the file(s). Pretty nice.
However.....this causes a weird UI issue. If the window you are working in is small enough so that the items in list view fill it up completely (so there is a scroll bar), you can no longer right click on any empty space or the date/filesize etc to pull up the contextual menu for example to create a New Folder.
If there is empty space below the file list, then it still allows you to right click to get the menu.
Basically when I am designing websites and I'm jumping back and forth between my browser and my editor I get some odd text selecting issues. It is a kind of delayed reaction to typing and it incredibly annoying. I thought it might be something to do with overheating but then it started happening just after I turned my iMac on. This has also happened when entering the license code for some software. The only way to stop it is to then click the top bar on the window.
Now something that might be related - I recently upgraded the RAM to 8GB, it was brought from Crucial so it should be okay right? Now after I installed it, it showed up as 8GB but then a few days ago it lowered itself back down to 4GB and remains there. And this defiantly isn't due to lose connections. I have had a number of issues with this iMac 27", screen flickering, these text problems and just this morning it crashed for no reason at all - I only had the mail app open and Firefox.
So I've partitioned my external 1TB hard drive by half. My intention is to use half for time machine and half for some "heavy" storage.
My external drive is connected via Airport Extreme.
What I am having trouble doing is telling Time Machine, which drive to select. I've already went through one super long initial back up, but once it tries to back up on the wrong partition, it wants to back itself up again!
How do I ensure that Time Machine backs up to the same partition?
When I'm in my Time Machine Preferences I can only select the "My Book" drive, not the individual partition.
Since a couple of weeks, the trackpad on my mid 2010 13'' MBP sometimes keeps selecting everything when I move my mouse. The only (temporary) solution is to restart.
View 4 Replies View RelatedExpose rocks! but apple should make the three buttons in the upper left corner of every window accessible when the window is shrunken by expose. That way you could close the window without having to select it first. On a side note, they added the ability to close a finder window by right clicking on it when its minimized in the dock, but this appears to be a feature that is left up to the developer of the ap to include (all the other aps don't have a close menu)

I have a folder called 'text books' and within that folder I have 100 more folders named by author. Inside the folders are .txt files of their work. Is there any way I can select all the .txt docs and paste them in one big folder? In other words, is there a way of removing all the sub-folders and putting all the .txt files together in one place?
