Comment on Changing the system’s default settings for html files (safe) by cara Mia

Today it doesn’t work. The .plist file seems to have vanished. Re-created it, still can’t open a pile of files without the safety prompt interfering…

This is awesome thank you, just what I needed. It didn’t work at first but shutting down Safari may have made it work. Or, I had been trying to open a pile of files all highlighted before created the new .plist file… not sure if unhighlighting and re-highlighting made it finally work, or if it was the restart of Safari. Happy it works now though. Surprised Apple doesn’t have a setting for this under Security in System Preferences so weird.

It’s a shame we have to work around but it’s always great in the Mac world to know people are dedicated to helping people rather than make a buck… Worked great… Thanks for the post and the help.

Works like a charm !

As first it didn’t work because I mistakenly put the plist file in Library/Preferences instead of Users/Username/Library/Preferences. After I moved it to the correct location it works and saves me countless clicks (opening HUNDREDS of php files today).

This “feature” of Leopard is SOOOOO annoying !

Thank you so much for sharing !

Thanks for posting this! You have to reboot or restart your machine for it to take effect.

Comment on Purolator Package tracking is useless! by Thomas

Thomas — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:35:45 +0000

I completely agree. I am really frustrated with Purolator at this point. I sent a package to Australia from Canada week before the deadline to mail my package. It takes only two days to mail something to Australia….

It took Purolator like 4 days to ACTUALLY mail out my package, and then 3 days to tell me that the package has an incorrect zip code.

It is now past the deadline and I know for sure that I provided the correct zip code… its not hard… its only FOUR NUMBERS.

So now, Im frustrated and will probably never use Purolator again.

Thank you. This “bug” have bothered me ever since it was introduced in 10.5.1. I can’t understand why Apple have’nt included a ’safe file’ option in System Preferences or something. So we can choose what files are safe or not.

anyone know… do wildcards work? Because, honestly, and i know this is not always a good policy, i would just add * if wildcards work… because i’m cautious about where i go, what i do, and i have antivirus anyways. They’ve already made it so no script can rm -rf /*, well not without prompting me for my password. So just by watching for password prompts… Apple, please make Quarantine FOAD.

PLSKTHNXBAI.

Thank you very very much!

I’ve been so irritated that TextMate decided to implement this security “feature” introduced in Mac OS X Leopard, and refuses to open multiple php files at once even when I accept one of them.

Apple has definitely made a wrong decision here about executing “safe” content upon download and not showing the file extensions by default!

Thanks all, this site really help me out on how to get my touch to work with my airport extreme . I’ve had it about 7 months now and finally was able to figure it out. You think apple would have had this on there support page but I couldn’t find it.

Comment on Apache PHP and Mysql on Leopard by Jens Larsen

Jens Larsen — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:52:45 +0000

I’m sort of a newbie with php in general and on Leopard (10.5.7) in particular. Only got my Macbook Pro last month. If not for this post I would have still have been flailing away at windmills.

There seems to be a difference from the version of Leopard/php5 that you describe to what I have. The reference to the php5.conf file in /private/etc/apache2/other/ was nowhere to be found in my httpd.conf file. I had to add the include at the bottom of the includes myself. I then restarted apache, flushed the Safari buffer/cache, and finally I got to work instead of just showing the source code.

My sincere thanks!

Thanks for the awesome fix!

For those that it didn’t work, try restarting Safari. No idea if that is mandatory, but it’s what I did and it works great.

Comment on Why I won’t be getting an iPhone by iws

Aren’t you glad that the CRTC is there to protect the Canadian public from being exploited by monolithic telecommunications companies? I’m beginning to think that their only purpose is to ensure that Rogers keeps making profit at the expense of the public; take a careful look at their decisions, and you’ll note than other telecomms and organizations such as CAIP seldom make any gains if it conflicts with the profit margins of Toronto-based video/cable/cell/VoIP providers.

Comment on IMAP problems with Apple Mail.app by Carlos

Carlos — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 20:10:10 +0000

I use Mail 3.5 and my 3 IMAP accounts suffer from a huge delay (more than 1 hour is many cases).

I guess they force us to not use it and go for thunderbird for example.

Comment on Another useful feature is gone missing in Leopard by Jasper

Jasper — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:06:14 +0000

perhaps click the audio button in the top-right?
one logical reason for removing it comes to my mind:
having two audio controls isn’t logical, remove one and use the main one. People that are used to the other control should learn to use the main control.

Better isn’t specifically when [i]you[/i] think it’s better since you’re only human which means odds are that you are to used to the old to see the new.

Or isn’t that what you had in mind?
