Quirkiness of Excel 2011 for Mac, CSV's, and Powershell 3.0 import-csv

Image
Summary: Work on Windows or a Mac, don't cross the streams unless you're up against Gozer. Details: I made a CSV file using Excel 2011 for Mac w/ that looked something like this: HeaderName, HeaderName2, HeaderName3, HeaderName4 Meh, super.meh.local, space, heckling Sigh, super.meh.local, space, bashing Saving this as a "Comma Separated Values" file was my first mistake cause when I tried to import this in Powershell, I would get the following super helpful error: import-csv : The member "super.meh.local" is already present To boil it down, I needed to save the CSV as a "Windows Comma Separated" csv file type.  The other method was that I could have placed quotes around all comma separated values via a text editor.

Summary: Click to create an new e-mail or hitting reply cause nothing to happen.  This seems to occur after updating to Safari 5.0.4. Workaround: Uninstall Safari and reinstall it. Download the current Safari version.  Do not install it yet, it will attempt to run. http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ Drag and drop the Safari icon from the applications folder to your trash and empty it. Now go to your downloads folder and find the file named something like "Safari5.0.4".dmg  Double-click it.  Then double click the pkg file that appears in a new window. Follow the wizard, then reboot.
