Troubleshooting Mac OS X 10.1: OneClick incompatible; Lexmark Z32 cannot print in Classic; FMP 5.5 and EPS; more
Lexmark Z32 cannot print with Classic active The Z32 printer will not print when Classic is running. It will spool to the print center and then time out. If Classic is not running, there is no problem printing. According to Arthur Aldrich, Lexmark is aware of the problem, and is working on an update. [See previous item.]
FileMaker Pro 5.5 and EPS graphics David Maffucci writes: "EPS files print fine when I print from the Classic version of FMP 5.5, but whenever I use the OS X version, the EPS graphics print as bitmapped images."
Quicken Deluxe 2002 backup files tip Steven Riggins offers this suggestion for organizing Quicken's backup files: "One solution to the user's concerns about others being able to see their Quicken backup files would be to move the application into their own Applications folder in their home folder. Set the permissions on the copy so only they can read/write the Quicken Folder. Also be sure to replace the icon on the dock with one from the new Quicken Folder."
Palm Sync with Avant Go William Dodson writes: "As reported by other readers, Palm Sync works in OS 10.1 with Classic activated. If I try to sync Avant Go, however, it interrupts the Hot Sync, which then fails. A solution which is working is to sync with the Avant Go Conduit set to 'Do Nothing,' then immediately thereafter activate that Conduit and re-sync."
Update failure on Wallstreet PowerBooks: a workaround Phred Lender writes: "I also could not boot the 10.1 update CD, until I removed the DVD drive and used another CD drive. The DVD problem was a limitation of the public beta and DP versions, but they had DVD drive installs working under 10.0. Evidently it is once again broken." Not all users have this boot problem.
Tip: Quitting non-active apps from the keyboard John Hopper found that by using the Command-Tab key combo to select any application in the Dock, Command-Q will quit the selected application without first bringing it to the front. In order for this to work, the Command key needs to be held down between commands.
Update: Albert Kammerer adds: "The way it works is to Command-Tab to the application you want to quit, continue to hold the Command key down, and then hit the Q key. This will allow you to continue using Command-Tab to other applications and quit/switch to them as well. You can also use this trick to hide applications without bringing them to the front by hitting the H key after you Command-Tab to them."
