Verizon Problem-but I'm the root...
« on: August 05, 2003, 07:18:19 AM »
I'd never used any OSX mail apps until I got a digicam, as I never had a use for iPhoto. The email option on iPhoto asks for an OSX eMail app, so I tried Mail And Eudora. And Gyaz. None would send the attachment. Text messages, no attachments. I found this link for a fix and everything works- until a restart, when it defaults back. I want to log on as root to do the permanent fix, but when I give my password, I get "Sorry". I can't complete the edit as I apparently don't have permission. This happens on both computers, and I'm the only user- I'm sure I have the right password. Huh?OSX hints
