The LaunchAgent file “com.google.keystone.agent.plist” is used to activate the Google Updater on each boot and every 2 hours while logged in. The file is located here:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist
Pretty sneaky to slip it in as a LaunchAgent without notifying the end-user, but hey- it gets the job done. I’d guess that Keystone was the internal code name for the product.
Today, I noticed that my Transmit favorites were not properly syncing across computers. Upon closer inspection, one machine did not have the “Transmit Favorites” entry in the MobileMe PrefPane.
I fixed this by unregistering, then re-registering the sync client using the following two commands.
~/Library/Application\ Support/Transmit/TransmitSync.app/Contents/MacOS/TransmitSync—unregisterClient
~/Library/Application\ Support/Transmit/TransmitSync.app/Contents/MacOS/TransmitSync—registerClient
The ever knowledgeable jokers at Apple Support have posted: ”How to clean your Mighty Mouse.”
My favorite line: “Although your Mighty Mouse never needs to be fed or watered, you may occasionally find that you need to clean it.”
Personally, I’d recommend a techno soundtrack for the somber video and a nice one liner to finish: “Make sure to watch for mice who’ve soiled themselves.”
Our team struggled for days on this one. We purchased Quark 8.0 and found that we were not able to print from the app under MacOSX 10.5.5. Print jobs were submitted and just never came out of the printer. No error messages whatsoever.
The solution was to download and install a Quark-supplied patch (intended for Quark 7 and MacOS 10.5.4).
After installation, restart your machine and try to print from QuarkXPress 8.
A few other troubleshooting tips (that actually weren’t necessary in our setup):
1) Navigate to the File>>Print>>Printer window
2) Go to the Tab at the center of the window and choose “Paper Handling”
3) Check the “Scale to fit paper size” option.
4) Now try printing and it would print.
Also, you can try going to file -> print in QuarkXPress and choose the “Advanced” option in the print window, then choose the post script level as 2 as well as 3 to print from QuarkXPress 8.
Thanks, Beth.
