Suppose your note file is named note.txt. The following command writes the first 50 bytes to standard output. head -c 50 note.txt The next one passes the rest of the file to your fold command. tail -c +51 note.txt | fold -150 You can combine these as follows. ( head -c 50 note.txt; tail -c +51...

I understand how to delete an app that came from the App Store, free or not. How do I tell the App Store to stop telling me about updates for something I have deleted? Or is this a personal problem?

I don't have a clue about your issue, but I do admire your disk naming convention.

And again this morning. It looks like Safari is fixed - maybe - but now Mail (8.2) has a memory leak. I use Mail Act-On 3.2.1 and SpamSieve 2.9.21. Although the latter is a separate process, it quits when I quit Mail; starts when I start Mail. Next time, I'll try to quit SpamSieve only.

Got in this morning to find all yellow under memory pressure in Activity Monitor. Closed each Safari page one by one - no change. Quit Safari - no change!! The only user process near the top of the list of core hogs was mailwebcontent. So I quit Mail - memory pressure immediately went to...

Whoops! I missed the badge on the App Store dock icon. 9.0 is now installed and running. I'll report tomorrow.

When I updated to Yosemite, I went back to Safari for everything, even Facebook. For a while it was OK. Now in 10.10.5 and Safari 8.0.8, the memory pressure issue is back. I have to restart Safari once a day. If I close just Facebook, the issue does not go away. Same for the other sites I...

DeltaMac, I did as you advised, but the issue persists. However I managed to refine it a little. It does NOT affect printing for things I compose with apps on my iMac, except for one described below. I subscribe to some online services that prepare reports for me as PDF files. Most notable...

I'm using Apple software with HP's driver. It looks OK on screen, but bad on paper. Even before paper, it looks bad on screen in the mini display in the print dialog. (?) Yes, it seems to fill more space. No, it's set for US Letter.

Done. Same problem.

A little more ... I just deleted and re-added my HP printer. Problem persists.

Starting with Mavericks, and persisting into Yosemite, I noticed some strange behavior with printer margins and/or print image size. Most of the time now, the horizontal and vertical margins seem smaller - sometimes so small that edges of the print image are cut off. The issue is independent...

I installed 10.10.3 over the weekend. Nope - problem persists. My camera is a Kodak P850 digital, vintage of late 2005, and I have been using it with iPhoto for almost 10 years with no problems. I removed the memory card from the camera and put it in my USB card reader device. Photos...

Here's the alert from Photos. The full message is ... The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)

I have a different issue with the new app. The first time I opened it, it ground away for a while converting my iPhoto library. Then I plugged in my camera, it appeared in the Photos sidebar and showed thumbnails for the new files. I told it to download the new ones and it promptly gave me an...

Whenever some trivial thing misbehaves on my Mac, the usual first advice is: Check the console for unusual entries. After doing that, I'm more scared than I was before. I get zillions of these and similar items. 3/13/15 7:01:05.000 AM kernel[0]: Sandbox: com.apple.Safari(79312) deny...

What do you mean by display attachments? What kind of attachments? Do you want to see the content of the attachments, whatever they are, or just the fact that attachments are there? My method does involve some work. I suspect any endeavor, except the most trivial, will involve some work...

I send a newsletter by composing it as HTML in my favorite editor. Then I create a Mail template following these instructions. HTH

Over the weekend, I was accessing a document online to print it. The website wouldn't allow direct access but would allow me to print if I used their system. I clicked to go ahead and an alert popped up telling me my installed Java was too old, and inviting me to proceed to Oracle to get the...

How do you know if an app uses .jar files? Do you have to examine the package contents?
