Just done some mini fault finding and Safari is fine. The problem seems to be with Firefox

Please disregard previous. As if by magic the problem has disappeared......VERY curious!

Airbus FCOM running on Mac

I wonder if anybody else is running the Airbus FCOM on the Mac. Have you also had some troubles with the latest updates? Any solutions to run it under 10.6?

Until now it worked like that:
1) Copy the whole FCOM CD to your mac. (Make sure no empty spaces in the folders name/address, name your folder AirbusFcom instead of Airbus FCOM or whatever..)
2) Link the following file as starting point: /FCOM/common/pages/main.htm
3) As all browsers had problems with the pictures, the only one working for me was: Camino. Mozilla Power, Mac Style

For sure this solution is not optimal, but was the best I could work out..

Get yourself a copy of Parallels or Fusion, a legal copy of Windows and enjoy....

Exclamation Mac Mail - keeps downloading old mail!

Hi,
I recently added five email addreses using my own domain name.
Four are ok but one insists on downloading mail from months ago!
My provider says it's something in the settings of Mac Mail, but I've been through preferences and can't see anything to solve the problem.
Went to provider's webmail service and deleted all mail from my inboxes. Unsuccessful - still downloading mail from the past
If I leave the Mail to download every hour I come back to find 500+ emails - most annoying.
I've tried deleting the account and set up again - same result.
Any ideas, any one.
Thanks in advance.

Apologies if you've tried this already, but you could try going to the Mailbox menu and select "Synchronize all mailboxes".

Are the accounts IMAP or POP?

Are you configured as POP3 or IMAP ?

My guess is POP3 and you've got "leave on server" configured.

@BusBoy Thank you, but I'm using a different callsign.
@mixture Thank you, but that is exactely what I'm avoiding.

I got it working again:
Following setup:
- OS 10.6.1
- Camino 1.6.10 (latest release Camino. Mozilla Power, Mac Style)
- This Javaplugin for Camino (QA:Camino 1.6.x, Mac OS X 10.6, and Java - Camino Wiki).
Rest as in the first post.

Mac Mail - keeps downloading old mail!

Many thanks to both. I am using POP, and indeed the Advanced tab and changed setting for server function for keeping mail, solved the problem
I can't remember having to do this some years ago when I set up my original mailbox. But then I'm at an age (not really that old), when things don't come to mind so readily
Thanks again.

Mail and Snow Leopard.

Is it possible in Mail to send an email with a "Receipt" included?

Mods,
Why is "Mac Corner" no longer a sticky?

BusyB,

You can blame Saab Dastard for that !

It's been a sticky long enough for its presence to be established - if it is genuinely useful it will self-sustain on page one.

If it isn't, then keeping it as a sticky is like pinning a dead pet to the door of its cage.

I've just read some horror stories on upgrading a MacBook Pro to Leopard and Snow Leopard. I don't even know if my MacBook Pro is a Leopard or something else. It's a 10.5.8. Do I have it right that a Leopard is 10.6?

thank you. My main problem would be with Freehand MX as I have thousands of files. I have heard via other users that there are plans afoot to keep and upgrade Freehand even though the 'system' seems to be demanding we all go to Illustrator (compatible with the Suite Photoshop and InDesign). Any extra info in this area would be good.
