Make sure you hav VoiceOver and Zoom turned off in System prefs>universal access>seeing. I think the rectangle box is the cursor for one of those.

I want to sell my 1st gen iPad and would like to know how to return it to it's original state, removing any and all info of mine.

Back up your iPad first. If it is a 3G model, and you buy time monthly from AT&T, call them to suspend the subscription, and remove the sim card from the device so that it cannot be re-activated by the next owner and charged to you. Then you can set it to factory defaults by going to Settings, General. Press Reset and choose Erase all Content and Settings. The iPad will retain any updates you have gotten but this will remove all your personal information and apps except for those which come with it.

May I suggest you look at Take Control books (which are ebooks and if there is a later edition you can update free):

http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/

There is one called Switching to Mac in their catalogue.

You could also look at:

http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/

I hope it helps.

The author ,Pogue, publishes the best books ,in my opinion, for Macs.Check him out on Amazon.com. The "Missing Manual" series and "Switching to Mac" series are excellent.

I really want ST but MS apparently is too stupid to realize they have another market in Macs. I'll probably go with Parallels at some point for that plus a few other things that are PC only.

My MacBook Pro runs OS 10.7.4. I recently found an iPod Mini from 2005 that I had never used. Tried to install the iPod software but the MBP says it won't work with it.

Is there any way to fix this? adTHANKSvance!

• New Members 4

I upgraded to OS 10.7.4 for good reasons, but didn't know that it would not let me use Eudora for mail, which I have used for about 15 years. Now I'm using "Mail" which came with my MBP, but having some problems getting used to it.

Most notably, where are the mail files and attachments? Eudora had them in a "Eudora Folder" but "Mail" does not have an equivalent folder. I want to know where they are so I can (1) be sure I back them up, and (2) delete attachments or open them with any application I want to use.

A search with Finder finds attachments in a folder called Library inside a folder with my name, but I can't find the Library folder there.

Assistance appreciated. adTHANKSvance!

Hi Dale,

Terminal is simply a tool that lets you get down to the command line layer of OS X/Unix and, in this case, directly edit some system settings. So you don't need to reset Terminal itself. You need to reset whatever settings were borked.

If you are a beginner at this, I'd recommend using a free tool like Onyx. It lets you adjust "hidden" OS settings like this, but gives you a graphical interface in which to do it. Much easier/safer.

http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php

In Onyx, screen capture settings are under Parameters > General. Hopefully, setting those to JPEG in Onyx will overwrite whatever you did earlier from Terminal (maybe adjust this to PNG and back to JPEG a couple of times to be sure).

If that doesn't work, let us know exactly what you typed into Terminal.

Good luck!

System Software issue: How to Reset TERMINAL.app on MacBook Pro:

I recently upgraded my system software from 10.6.8, to Lion 10.7.4. With 10.6.8 my Shift-Command-4 Screenshots were JPGs. now with 10.7.4 they are .PNG files by default.

I have heard there is a text to paste into the Terminal.app under Applications/Utilities/Terminal - I tried that and messed it up somehow. Now I cant take screenshots at all. I tried to Restore my Terminal.app to last weeks settings via Time Macine Restore, but since it is System software it won't restore. So, now what do I do?

I know about using Grab for Screenshots but the default file format on that is .Tiff and there are too many steps. I take Lots of screenshots and the MacBook keystrokes worked very well except that there have begun to be .PNGs. I would be happy to just get back to the PNGs at this point.

Any ideas very much welcome.

Thank you!
