While not free either, this is a very capable app for $39.95 which allows you to set up client and user profiles, as well as customized invoices for timed jobs and expenses.

You can automatically round up to intervals you decide...



I've used this for years, and the current version is 3.0.9 – though a few years old - it runs under Sierra OSX10.12. It's been very stable and usable. I've recovered so much billable time by using this for my work (time based) that it has paid its way over many times.
The new version for Catalina compatibility is in beta at this point... Developer feedback for support is good.

I don't see a free version of Office Time on their Web site or on the Mac App Store.



If there is a free version I would really appreciate you pointing me to it. A free version would be awesome.

I don't know of any free ones. However, this one is only $20 and it's very impressive for the price.

TaskTime ($20)

And in Contacts, you can create a group, assign records to that group, and then print using various Avery or Dymo mailing label templates, chosen from the print popup.

Thanks for sharing this useful tip!

Howdy.

Just a reminder. Since nearly everybody has Apple's Pages if you need
to make labels, like for file folders, shipping labels, all kinds of
labels, you can browse to the Avery web site and download a template
for Pages.

The templates are listed by an Avery number which is on each label
sheet.

Just double-click the template and it opens in Pages and you are ready
to type a label.

On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. In the left column are the printers you have used/are using. Highlight the Epson and at the bottom left of that pane, then click the minus (-) symbol. That should take care of it.

My Epson WF-4630 quit working right, so I eventually purchased an HP-OfficeJet Pro 8025 and installed it on my Mac (ca late 2012, running Catalina 10.15.3.

The printer installed well on my Mac and iPhone, and that’s as far as I’ve gotten.

But when I tried to print from the Mac, the Epson comes up all the time, even though I set the HP to be the default.

I have tried dragging the Epson to the trash, but that doesn’t work.

Is there a way to uninstall it? It isn’t even in the house any more.

Thanks lots,

Carol

I'm happy that things are now great for you, but it couldn't hurt to verify your setting in Mail.app. On this Web site you can enter your e-mail address and it will give you the correct settings for you for Mail.app.

I was having trouble sending email from my desktop (IMAC 5K 27" LATE 2014) which was quite annoying.? Cox is my provider so I thought it could be an issue at their end.? I am using Thunderbird.?? I tried to look at all of the trouble shooting sites trying to diagnose the problem but to no avail. Then I got the black screen...? the backlight was functional but that was it.? No starting chime. I grabbed my iPad ant starting hunting for a solution. An Apple site asked me for the serial number for my machine but I could not find my purchase receipt so I looked to see if it was anywhere on the outside of the machine.? To do so I had to turn it around on my desk which meant unplugging it (see where I'm headed?).? Still no serial number. ? Oh well after lunch I came back and plugged it in thinking I would have to take it to our local Apple store for help.? Just for the hell of it I started it up and all of the problems were fixed including the email issue!? Previously I had gone through all of the suggested "fixes" for a black screen including the unplugging step but apparently I didn't leave it unplugged long enough?? I know better than to be smug about this...

Randy –

I’ve found, over the years, that if you offer an opinion, it is generally researched, well-formed, and sound.

How nice of you to say! Thank you!

I've spent many years as the head of a user group for attorneys. You can't say anything to attorneys without making a strong case and usually offering citations for what you are saying. (Even when you are just trying to help someone!) So I've gotten into the habit of doing that. I *do* want to be helpful and not just be someone who offers wild opinions with nothing to back them up.

Do you have one of those opinions about Sqwark’s DetectX, and what it is, or is not, good for?

The thing is, Apple and the traditional anti-virus software companies don't seem to consider adware and PUP's (potentially unwanted programs such as MacKeeper) to be Malware at all (unless they also do something malicious, beyond serving up ads), and they don't look for them and defend against them. (I'm not sure, but I suspect that Apple, and maybe the traditional anti-virus software developers too, are wary about the legal ramifications of setting their products to delete potentially unwanted programs where it might be possible for the developers of the PUP's to argue that they are legitimate and not truly malicious in a courtroom. It would be nasty to lose a lawsuit to a company that claims that you are going around deleting or blocking their legitimate commercial product.) So, Mawarebytes and DetectX are sort of invaluable products, since the Mac OS itself, and traditional anti-virus programs, don't protect you from adware.

Both Malwarebytes and DetectX claim to look for all Mac malware, not just adware. I find that impossible to believe, because either product does a scan of your entire drive that only lasts less than a minute. By contrast, a true anti-malware product can take an hour or more to scan your entire drive.

What seems more likely is that both products only look in a few pre-determined places on your drive quickly, and only look for a select number of pieces of malware, likely the ones that are easy to spot just by their file name. But they both do an excellent job of finding and removing adware. So that's what they are good for; when you find that you've been hit with adware, either product seems to be great at removing it. As of late, while malware is almost non-existant on the Macintosh, adware is fairly common, and it's easy to get infected with it if are uninformed. (Often it comes in the form of a pop-up offering you a download of something like a Flash upgrade.)

I've stopped recommending Malwarebytes; at least as a first choice for dealing with adware. MalwareBytes has become very intrusive recently. Even the free version of MalwareBytes now installs a lot of files all over your Mac, deep in the System. If you put "malwarebytes" into EasyFind, it's really varied for folks. Some find just a few files, some find as many as 23! I don't know what they are all doing, but as they are all very deep in the System, I don't trust the product, and, especially after the dishonest "report" that they just released that has some less knowledgeable Mac users all freaked out about malware now, I don't trust the company it comes from.

Instead I now recommend DetectX for dealing with adware, which isn't as intrusive, for dealing with adware:

DetectX/Swift


Since adware isn't truly malicious, and you almost always know when you have it, I don't recommend using the automated scanning features of either DetectX or Malwarebytes, which might slow down your Mac or create software conflicts. In fact, you probably don't even need to download either program until and unless you are hit by adware. If you are the paranoid type, you may even want to use EasyFind to delete either program after you've used it, just to be careful that the program isn't harvesting personal information of yours.
