Recently Apple changed

the way the .mac mail

works and I have to open a mail just to

delete it. If something looks suspicious, I

don’t want to open it. What can I do?

■ Don’t use the webmail function of

MobileMe (formerly known as .mac)

I’d use Apple’s Mail to create a account

to access your mobileme mail, drag the

dividing line between the list pane and

the preview pane down to the bottom to

collapse the preview pane, and get your

mail this way. Then you can just select and

delete without ever opening.

I tried MacPaw’s CleanMyMac and

while it did make the Mac run faster, it

killed Safari’s use of the Citibank web site.

Citibank still was OK in Firefox. I had no

trouble getting in when logged into my

test user account. Apple suggested I do an

archive and install and that fixed it. That

installed Safari 4 and the problem came

back after I upgraded to Safari 5. There

was a piece of the CleanMyMac software

remaining. What could it have done to

affect just this one web site?

■ The program can wipe out Safari 5

extensions but I suspect it may be more

likely it affected either the citibank.com

cookies or a security certificate, which

are stored in the home folder’s Library/

Keychains/ folder. Your cookies are also

stored in the home folder’s Library/

Cookies/ folder, so the user localized

nature is understandable. These are stored

in your home folder and Firefox, which is

not based on the systemwide webkit under-

pinnings, didn’t care about Safari’s cookies.

I find that over years, the cookies get dam-

aged on a site-wide problem, so I have to

go into Safari’s Preferences - Security, Show

Cookies, do a search (i.e. citibank.com)

and select all the shown items and click

Remove button. Remove All should gen-

erally be avoided as it will remove all your

cookies for all your websites. On a related

note, I have Safari Accept cookies Always

instead of Only from sites I visit, as many

legit web sites use a redirection with would

block the cookies.

I have my iPhone synced to my Mac

and my daughter wanted me to install

some apps onto her iPod touch. She says

she doesn’t have to time to find the apps.

Can I do that from my Mac or do I have

to create a new user account?

■ I would think neither would be satisfac-

tory. The iPod touch, like your iPhone is

not just like a flash drive where you have

full manual control. The Macintosh and

iTunes/iPhoto wants to bidirectionally syn-

chronize the device with a specific user

account. If you plug it into another user’s

machine, it will warn you that if you allow

it to sync, it will wipe out everything on

the iPod and replace it with content from

your user account. The only option would

be having a copy of her account on your

computer, and turning off all automatic

sync options to prevent them from over-

riding. It would be easier for your daughter

We have received very good news from the highest level…

namely, “The recession is over.” On 9-14-2010, the President

of the United States declared our nation’s financial slump is

over and has been since last year. I can’t help but wonder if the President’s

announcement relates to another planet, because the only sign of recession

relief I see is in Apple stock, which keeps climbing and saw little financial

strain to begin with.

Steve Jobs and the Apple designers have pushed Apple to greater heights

with their vision, which brings Apple products to the forefront of technology,

not waiting for conformation or anyone to say “We need this.”

It is very exciting to look for ‘what’s next.’
