I don’t know. I don’t have the hardware, software, or expertise to debug the situation. But, when my MIFI and my WIFI, both have sucky performance. And, programs, that access the network, seem slow. And, I ‘always’ see “searching for networks”. Could it be that they have a significant problem with wifi at the operating system level?
Sigh!
How to figure that our?

AddressBookSync is taking 98% of the CPU?
I have “sync” set to manual. What’s up with that?

Don’t think I lost anything. No obvious error message. Send report to Apple.
Argh!

I’ve gotten annoyed with the continual temporary disk space exhaustion issue.
I left windoze because of all the issues. And, on MACOSX, I seem to be having as many.
ARGH!

Intermittent Problem Sending Email on Verizon FIOS?
PLATFORM = Mac Book Air v1.1
OS = OSX 10.6.5ISP = Verizon FIOS
CLIENT = Thunderbird 3.1.7
FREQUENCY = Intermittent
SCOPE:
All 1and1 accounts are impacted.
Yahoo, GMail, and BlueHost accounts are unaffected.
SYMPTOMS:
THUNDERBIRD attempts to send email.
It either works relatively quickly or eventually fails.
When it fails, the status is EITHER “looking up smtp.1and1.com” OR “sending message”.
Then it never completes.
COMMENT:
It feels like 1and1’s not working correctly.
I can switch network and DNS settings and have the same problem.

Last night’s upgrade to OSX 10.6.3 took about an hour, give or take. And, everything looks OK. Sort of.
(The only thing I noticed at the time was that (a) the application icon and huge NBD and that (b) IPHOTO is still broken. (Argh!)
But today, I noticed that VZAccess Manager v7.0.5 (2424j) for the Verizon Wireless USB720 is GONE!
Argh!
Another download!
Sigh!
But, now I wonder what else was nuked?
Sure “Quality is Job#1”!
# – # – #
Not without difficulty, VZACCESSMANAGER downloaded, installed, and a required reboot … (Why?) …
VZAccess Manager v7.0.5 (2424j) for your Verizon Wireless USB720
And, it’s different.
Argh!
Change control and version control and the vendors do what they want!

• IPHOTO still broken.
• Pages, Keynote, and Numbers still down; looking for the <synonym for procreation> disks.
• Migrated off APPLEMAIL onto THUNDERBIRD.
• Migrated off FIREFOX onto CHROME.

… and they want me to rebuy it!
(You have to be kidding.)
Argh!
They will replace Snow Leopard because the machine went in with it and came out without it.
But they want me to rebuy the iWorks and iLife!
Same logic should apply.
Argh!
I hate computers. And, their enablers.
It’s either a product and it’s all my responsibilities. Or, it’s licensed, and my serial number is all that I should need.
Argh!
Now, I gotta find those disks.

The adventure continues.
My DROPBOX strategy has a flaw. For some reason, a significant portion of my PDF files were deleted. (No idea why?) Clearly, sharing among machines is a winner. BUTT (there’s always a big but) I need a ‘vaulting strategy’. The deletion could have been disastrous. But, it took four hours to recover the files. And, I immediately made a copy. So, I need a synchronization strategy for each platform. Basically a synchronization utility that copies the latest files to the sharing directory and updates back in. Have to think about that.
“Manifests” for each machine are obviously needed. I have to start that now on the other platforms. Need to have the link to the source and possibly the last distribution.
Need a data review and archiving strategy.
In next year’s storage plan, I need to have it monthly archive.
No need to save all the ‘stuff’ I am saving. Argh!
