I don’t know if it will help with this issue, but it is supposed to help with

Try unpairing your watch and pair it again.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with iPhone

[Ed Wiser]

Have never seen this type of setting anywhere. 
As it is expected for you to pick up where you left off when you open the phone 
again.  If one wanted to do that you could just double chick the home button 
and tap on the screen to return to the home screen before locking the screen. 
Takes to seconds to do. I do it all the time. It’s not a setting in the 
operating system. It would be like asking for the Mac to minimize all apps when 
I shut the lid on my laptop when I close the lid. Instead the Mac stays where 
you left it when you log back on. Windows does the same when coming out of 
sleep it returns to what applications are open. This is a basic computer 
practice that hasn’t changed since computers came on to the market. As I said  
one can train yourself to do this if that is ones wish.

No.  He wants it to always open on his main home page no matter what page it

It looks to me as though you’re using the “classic layout” for mail. This was 
the way mail used to look before about 2005. To use the non-classic layout, go 
to Mail>Preferences>Viewing and unselect classic layout.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with Mail

[Anne Cartwright]

That’s not what my screen looks like at all. See mine on an iMac:

Now that we’ve introduced iPad and iMac.: I get mail from my mac.com 

 account ONLY on my iPad and none of my mail from aye.net 

 comes to my iPad. Doesn’t bother me at all because the mail I get from mac.com 

 account, while very important, I can access from the Internet (PayPal). I 
don’t need to have my iPad cluttered with the many messages I get through 
aye.net. Especially since I have not, nor has the Apple store help - haven’t 
tried Genius bar) been able to delete mail on my iPad. But that's a totally 
different problem and one I can live with for now.

Maybe I have so much in Mail that the program has not been able to update when 
possible. I tend to use Mail as a filing cabinet. Somewhat like my Documents 
folder. In fact I’d love to know if it’s possible to save Mail in a folder 
outside of Mail but exactly like it is in Mail. Can I save it to a flash drive? 
or to a folder in my Documents folder.

That would be a great help to me.

Anne

In the view of messages in a mailbox, you can choose to view only the unread 
emails. There are at least three ways to toggle this view:

(1) -L (or command-L) turns it on and off.

(2) The menu item View>Message Filter.

(2) At the left-top of the message list for any mailbox is a triangle in a 
circle. Click on it.

Sounds like you hit the small icon at the bottom of your list of emails that

Re: [MacGroup] Help needed for photo-edit utility app…

[preston....@twc.com]

Yes, I used that early on, but if I remember correctly, it still left 
“artifacts” that were still identifying the app, etc., so I chose to use the 
three apps and never looked back, even though it may now be usable for my 
purposes.  No matter what the origin, SmallImage removed most everything I was 
concerned with and it was quick and easy.

Graphic Converter has forever been the Mac standard for this kind of stuff.

Preview does batch conversions, but maybe not the resizing you need..

GIMP will do this sort of thing. The learning curve is steep because it’s a lot 
like Photoshop—but free.

I do this type of thing with ImageMagick.

There’s always the story of the shoemaker and the elves …

I would suspect the MacBook has a problem with the print queue. Unplug the 
MacBook from the printer, or turn it off, and see if the problem persists.

I have had good experience with Brother printers too -- two lasers, which work 
well.  Before that I had two ink-jets (different brand) and they had problems.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with printing

[Harry Jacobson-Beyer]

Richard,

I do not know what’s wrong with your printer. In the past I have used CEOM 
Service Depot (on Poplar Level Rd.-just north of the Watterson) to repair my 
printers. They were very good and honest and reasonable. AT the time they 
didn’t work on HP printers and recommended UpTech Computer in J’Town. My HP 
printer was so old they couldn’t get parts for it and they recommended I get a 
Brother Printer which I did and it has been wonderful.

Here is contact info for both:

CEOM
Ron Eckert 
1815A Taylor Avenue
Louisville KY 40213
(502) 485-0010

UpTech Computer

Re: [MacGroup] Help with printing

[Richard D. Meadows]

I guess my description was not accurate.

The paper is new blank…. the printing happens at night when no one is in my 
computer.  

It is not a paper issue, it is an issue of the printer coming on at various 
times and beginning to spew out sheet after sheet of paper with one line 
printed at the very top edge. 

Thanks,

Could be a voltage issue. Do you leave the printer on all the time? I have seen 
this happen here at work.

Richard,

Have you…  (1) merely found that all [output] has the offending line on it, 
or  (2) actually opened and examined the paper in the drawer to find the 
garbage was on all sheets?

Since it’s not an online issue, my best guesses are…
If (1), likely there’s a problem with the drum roller, or some contaminated 
foreign matter on the corona wire or in the toner hopper.
Or (2), someone else has loaded your paper drawer with preprinted garbage.

Re: [MacGroup] Help Resetting Computer

[John Robinson]

If you have an external disk drive and any version of Apple OS CD, install the 
disk and hold down the “C” key until it boots from the disk,  Once booted click 
on the “Utility” icon.  When opened click on erase disk…you don’t have to 
install a new OS since you don’t want to have any of your info on the 
drive….tell the next owner that it’s ready to be set up to their specifications.

If you have a thumb drive with an OS you can do the same.  I have an external 
drive that I keep a bootable OS on just to format disk on the machine I am 
working on..so that is another choice….I’ve used this to install several new 
drives. 

However, the least difficulty may be to have Apple do this for you..

Re: [MacGroup] Help can't install printer driver

My problem may be due to the fact that I have two HP printers using different 
drivers.

As soon as I connect my older (but better) HP printer I get a message Do I want 
to load the driver. Yes. But don't ask me where it goes.

Was this the driver from HP or was this the driver available through Apple? Do 
a search for HP Printer Drivers for Mac and see if you can come across the 
support page from Apple with the drivers. That’s how I installed my print

I tried that. Tried changing system preference. Did a couple of times. And held

The printer now works but at a snail's pace. Running it wirelessly. Will see if 
it's any faster hooked up USB.

I have a G5 tower that I unplugged to clean around and now can't get

Tried shift key - Gray apple comes up and then nothing. So I moved on

macbook pro. The hard drive mounts and then when clicked I get the 
spinning beach ball from hell. Any clues as to whats next?


Sad but I use that tower for one program only. Freehand (yes I said 
Freehand) it does one thing Illustrator won't do. Unfortunately I 
left the branding I did on that computer and was lazy and didn't

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with rebooting an old Mac

[John Robinson]

Very simplistic, how long since you have rebuild the directory?  

I have had similar problems, thought for sure the drive was gone, but booted 
from DiskWarrior, and rebuilt the directory and the machine was fine…oh if it 
would be that simple.

Re: [MacGroup] Help

[Beth Phillips]

Richard,

Have you checked your settings for the Pages and Numbers apps themselves
on both devices to make sure they are utilizing iCloud? I just started
using these programs and couldn't figure out why the files I had set up on
my iPad were not showing on my iPhone. I had both devices set to use
iCloud, but there is a separate place for each app where you have to turn
it on too. (Scroll down in the Settings and Pages, Numbers and Keynote are
listed at the bottom. Click on each and turn on Use iCloud.) I hadn't done
this on either device so they only showed on my iPad where I had created
them. (All this time I thought they were being backed up to iCloud too and
they weren't because I hadn't turned it on for the apps on my iPad -
Yikes!!)

Thanks!

Try starting up in “safe mode”.
-russ

The following is from Mac Help:
safe mode
Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate 
problems that you’re having with your Mac.

When you start up in safe mode, your Mac 
prevents some software, such as startup items, 
from loading, and it performs a check of your 
startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start 
up because of the check.

1) Choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
2) After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, 
then press the power button.
3) Immediately after you hear the startup tone, 
hold down the Shift key.  You should press the 
Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the 
startup tone, but not before.
4) Release the Shift key when you see the gray 
Apple logo and progress indicator.

To leave safe mode, restart your Mac again, but 
don’t hold down any keys during startup.  Once 
restarted, read more in Mac Help; a good place 
to start.

Re: [MacGroup] Help

[David Harker]

I realize being out here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, my timely
responses might seem a bit late, but you could check into FileMaker Pro
as an option.

http://www.filemaker.com/products/filemaker-pro/

If my feeble memory serves me correctly, there is a member of the group
here that is in the Louisville area, who is well-versed with that program.
Maybe they can come up with suggestions.

Re: [MacGroup] Help

[Jonathan Fletcher]

To my knowledge (admittedly less than omniscient) there is no element within 
FileMaker nor within any plugin that offers PDF conversion. There are plugins 
that will pull out some of the data from a PDF form, and there are some online 
services that offer OCR to users of FileMaker with a bit of programming. And it 
is not cheap for just the purpose of the one incomplete ability.

All-in-all, I think you would be far better served, though, with PDFpen or 
Acrobat Professional. PDFpen is the cheapest. Acrobat is more expensive and I 
really don’t think you want to use FileMaker at all in this case.

And I’m a FileMaker Fanatic, so believe me.

The file that lists the sidebar stuff might be messed up. The easiest thing to 
do is nuke it. The file is
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist

Then you can start over and rebuild your sidebar. For good measure, you can 
also nuke the Finder preferences.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

They should be rebuilt by the Finder, if you log out and back in again.

Lee,

Maybe that's why I'm having problems. I can't find that file anywhere on my 
mac. I can find it on my other mac (running Lion) at 
home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist

Under Mac X Mountain Lion my home folder doesn't have a Library folder at all.

When I try Spotlight to find it nothing other than search Web or Wikipedia for 
it. It doesn't even give your mail message to which I am replying. Under Lion 
all I ger is your mail message.

Sounds like you just have a bulb out. They're tough to replace, though. What 
brand is it? If it's a cheap-o off brand, you may be better off with a new one.

It’s a 21 ACER flat panel (H213H).
A few years old, although I don’t remember when it was 
purchased.  The receipt may be in the stored box, if I can 
find it.  An a new problem made itself known with tonight’s 
start-up.  The screen would act like it had powered off, but 
the controls were still lit and apparently functioning.
   sigh   Not promising.

Re: [MacGroup] Help… …problem due to lightning spike power surge.

[R. D. Preston]

John,

I found one good (previously unused) FW cable, and have 
seen no differences.  The FW connections that failed do still 
fail, whereas the USB hookups are fine…  …so the drives 
themselves seem unaffected.  

I have a mid-2010 Mac mini, with a FW 800 input port for 
which I'm using a FW 400 adaptor.  The FW hub (400) goes 
into this adaptor, and any of the working drive’s FW port 
connections that now go into the adaptor will still work.  
The drives that were powered on at the time of the spike(s) 
won’t function through those drive’s FW ports, so for now, 
I’ll assume those FW circuits are what got fried.  

Can these circuits/ports be repaired at a reasonably low cost?  
…or would the problem go further in and be on the primary 
circuit (mother) board?!! eGad !!

- russ preston


 I’ll search to see if I have other FW cables to try.  I did 
 switch around the ones I have, but haven’t found a 
 difference amongst them.  Will try when I find others, 
 and get back to this thread then.  Thanks.

Russ,

This will require the likes of Mac Authority, 128 Breckenridge Ln., Louisville, 
KY 40207.  502-259-5490.

I have found them to be good folks and they may charge a table fee to determine 
the problem but they would give you the cost and get permission before they 
would repair.

Hope it's an inexpensive fix.

Re: [MacGroup] help with NEO office

[Harry Jacobson-Beyer]

I don't quite believe what I am about to tell you about how I solved the 
problem I wrote about below, but here goes.

I decided that the document files were not corrupted because they are all in 
the cloud and I don't have similar problems on my other machines. So I 
downloaded AppCleaner and deleted Neo Office from my computer. Then I 
downloaded and installed Neo Office. The same things were happening. 

I also have Spell Catcher installed on my program. In spell catcher I set up a 
shortcut for my email address. I opened a Neo Office text document and started 
typing, (ignoring the sounds the program was making as I typed) and when I 
typed one of my short cuts it didn’t work.

I went to SpellCatcher and learned I had to download and insert the license 
code (even though I had set up the computer from my time machine backup). Once 
I did that the problem in Neo Office went away.

I don't understand the connection between the two programs but there you have 
it.

Oh, by the way, the Spell Catcher shortcuts don’t work properly in Neo Office 
but that’s another issue.

Anyway, thanks for responding Lee.

Harry

 Hello everyone,
 
 I recently purchased a MacBook Air. I set it up using time machine from my

 Everything seems to work fine EXCEPT NeoOffice.
 
 All my documents are in Dropbox.
 
 I first opened NeoOffice by double clicking on a document in dropbox. A 
 message appeared on the screen and I cancelled it before I read it. The 
 document opened and while the document is open it makes a series of 
 repetitive sounds: Buzz, knock, knock, buzz, knock, knock, and so on.
 
 When I open some other documents it makes the buzz sound and then stops but 
 when I type, the knock sound occurs with every key stroke. If I create a new 
 document, the same thing happens - a knock sound with every key stroke.
 
 I don't have this problem with NeoOffice on my iMac or my 6 year old MacBook 
 Pro.
 
 I am running 10.8.5 on the Macbook Air and on the iMac an earlier version of 
 the OS on the MacBook Pro.
 
 I tried putting a document on a flash drive and transferring it to the MBAir. 
 Problem still occurs.
 
 I have opened several NeoOffice documents on the MBAIR and they all make 
 similar noises. 
 
 Hope someone knows what’s happening and can help.
 
 TIA.

I'd download LibreOffice or Open Office and try the documents with them. If 
they work, then the problem is with NeoOffice. (The file formats are the same 
because they're all based on Open Office.)

Re: [MacGroup] help please!

[Dan Crutcher]

Stuart,

If you really have very important data you might want to consider getting a 
Drobo, which takes several drives and does an automatic RAID setup. It's more 
expensive to start with, but after going through literally dozens of external 
drive failures while storing and backing up our photography archive here at 
Louisville Magazine I have come to the conclusion that Drobo or some similar 
type multi-drive arrangement is the only way to go for truly critical data.

 Hi all,
 
 When I purchased my mac mini I thought I had plenty of room... but now the 
 mac is barking at me again... I have used all 320 gigs!  
 
 So, i purchased an external hd to put my photos and music on and hope that 
 1tb will hold me for a bit!  
 
 I've looked online, but have found many different answers about doing this.  
 of course, my music and especially my photos are VERY important to me, so i 
 don't want to mess this up.  can any of you help guide me with this.  I also 
 use time machine and have a separate 1tb hard drive for that and hope that 
 won't confuse matters... i, of course, still want to have everything on my 
 mac mini and the photos/music on my new hd backed up regularly.  I am also 
 thinking about getting a 3rd hd (they are pretty cheap these days) to have 
 for off-site storage of photos/music in case of theft etc...
 
 Any all thoughts/help greatly appreciated!  I assume some of you may have a 
 similar setup.
 
 Thank you!
 
 Stuart

Navigate to the file and select it. then press option key and the I Key
(or File--Get Info).

At the bottom of the Get Info window is a tab for Sharing  Permissions.
Make sure it says (for your user name) Read  Write. If it doesn't you

Re: [MacGroup] Help!

Nora,

Often when you get a message saying that a file is read-only, you can still 
open it, but you can't save it back with the same name. If that's the case, go 
ahead and open the file and use Save As ... to save it back with a new name.

I doubt that your case is that simple however. It sounds like it won't let you 
open it at all. If you control-click the file, you will get some options that 
allow you to get info about the file, open it with other compatible programs, 
etc. It might be worth a try to see if any other programs on your computer can 
open the file.

If nothing else works (and the file doesn't contain anything too sensitive) you 
might try emailing it to me or someone on the list to see if we can open it, 
then we could save it back under a different name and email it back to you.

There might still be directory damage. I'd still run Disk Utility  
and verify the directory.




Caution, though, in assuming that [Verify] and [Repair] resulting
in an end-message that no problems found is not the same.
I don't know the details of the difference between the two, but
the result is definitely different.

I've run both options to find that a no problems found [Verify]
did not allow a remount of the problem volume, but running a
[Repair] that showed a result of  no problems found  did allow
the problem volume to remount.

from my limited knowledge of iPhoto, yet numerous times i have messed up
things on my macs, i can suggest that you see if you can reset iPhoto to use
the external where your files are saved, as the source to draw the files
from.  seems its a similar problem with an incorrect path that iPhoto is
using, to read the files from, which i have come across with iTunes, in the
past.  i keep all my music on an external, and if i launch iTunes w/o that
drive attached, the app will use the default location on the main drive as
its source for files, thus no files are found when i would attempt to play
music.

Re: [MacGroup] HELP!

Hi Ed,

Tried that and it seems to bring up the photos in thumbnail.  Actually about 
twice as many as were in my library (not sure why).  If I get this into iPhoto, 
will it have all the additional data (such as dates, group by events, albums 
etc...)?  Or will all that be lost?  Just wondering... at this point, I will 
just be happy to have all my photos back.  I made a DVD backup about 2 years 
ago (I know, I know, I need to back up more frequently) and am wondering if 
those have the additional info included when I backed up the photos.

I think a good backup strategy for photos and music has become a higher 
priority!  I need to give some thought to that!

Thanks!
Stuart

Does the hard drive mount on the desktop when you plug it in? If it doesn't, no 
amount of fiddling with iPhoto will recover the photos living on it.

If it does not mount, the most likely problem is a damaged directory. First try 
Disk Utility. If that doesn't help—and it rarely does—you'll have to try a more 
robust repair program like DiskWarrior or Drive Genius.

There might still be directory damage. I'd still run Disk Utility and verify

I have gotten about 100 automated responses saying my mail could not  
be delivered, this morning.I have no idea what is going on, as I  
certainly did not send any of these, and I don't recognize any of the

I do?

Hi Ed,

Tried that and it seems to bring up the photos in thumbnail.   
Actually about twice as many as were in my library (not sure why).   
If I get this into iPhoto, will it have all the additional data (such  
as dates, group by events, albums etc...)?  Or will all that be  
lost?  Just wondering... at this point, I will just be happy to have  
all my photos back.  I made a DVD backup about 2 years ago (I know, I  
know, I need to back up more frequently) and am wondering if those  
have the additional info included when I backed up the photos.


I think a good backup strategy for photos and music has become a  
higher priority!  I need to give some thought to that!


Thanks!
Stuart

Stuart one thing to get your images back is to do a spotlight search.  
Using .jpg or what ever raw extension your camera uses. I had to help  
a friend of my parents in Florida with this exact problem and that  
how we found them. Then just select all and drag to iPhoto and sit  
back an wait.

I was working with iPhoto when the plug to my external HD pulled  
out.  Well, I have over 13,000 photos and now NONE of them are  
showing up.  I have messed with it a little and have googled the  
problem, but this may be a problem that I shouldn't attempt DIY.  I  
have backed up many of the photos onto DVDs and they are SOMEWHERE in  
the house, but ideally, I would like to get all the photos/movies  
etc... back.  It has been a while since I backed up (I know, I know)  
and hopefully I didn't lose the most recent photos.  Any ideas?  Any  
place locally that I should go to fix this (hopefully)?


Thanks!

It sounds like a spammer got hold of your email address and used it for 
the return address on some of his missives. What you're seeing are the 
bounces caused by bad addresses on the spammer's list or rejections from 
spam filters. There's not much you can do about it.

If you can download SpinRite (www.grc.com) and have another machine to put it 
onto a floppy, you can probably answer your question about whether the drive is 
toasted. If SpinRite can’t revive it, nothing can.

You won't need a DOS disk because SpinRite creates a bootable floppy for itself.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with SCANNING. What would you recommend?

[Neal Hammon]

Brian:

You have a problem. To get good quality, you are required to scan them  
at (or near) the scanner's maximum dpi,  sets say 600 dpi.  As  you  
decrease the dpi, you speed up the scan time, but then you have a  
bunch of photos that will be somewhat blurd when you make prints.


So regardless of the scanner used, and the software used, just  
remember, speed reduces quality.


If you scan using a standard 8 by 10 size, just determine where the  
limits on the glass surface for this size is located, then take some  
architects masking take, the brown stuff, and cut small square, and  
hold the photos on the glass with the tape, and scan several at once.  
This will probably save a little time, but not much.


If you really want good pics, then the best way is to use photoshop or  
a similar program to touch them up. But of course, this really slows  
things down.


If you keep them on your computer, and don't made additional prints,  
the cost of making them (after you have purchased the scanner) is no  
problem.


May I suggest that you go through the 2,000 pics, and just select a  
hundred or so of the best ones.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with SCANNING. What would you recommend?

[Anne Cartwright]

I scanned hundreds of old family photos last year fro Christmas presents to my 
siblings. Am continuing with more stuff right now and hope to have something 
for them this Christmas.

Like John, I have been very happy with Epson scanners. Mine is an Epson 
Perfection 2450 Photo. Unlike John, I use VueScan software which was 
recommended by someone(s) in the group. I have been very happy with it. 
Scanning photos, BW, Color, 35mm, also some negatives and lots of newspaper 
articles, etc. Also use its OCR.  It's not too expensive ($39,95), they even 
have a free trial available. I found it to scan a lot faster than the Epson 
software for my scanner.

http://www.hamrick.com/

One thing, if you have a number of photos the same size you can set it to scan 
them about as fast as you can put a new one on the flatbed.

Last year I scanned 41 years of a club newsletter this way. Just named the 
output Vol x, Number y, page 1+. As fast as I could turn pages and replace a 
new one, it scanned, sometimes faster that me and I had to go back and 
straighten out where I was. Each new scan was named with n increase of 1 to the 
page number.

What I do with photos is , after culling, sort into stacks of specific topics 
or year, or person. Set the output with an appropriate name and start with 1+. 
After scanning, I go back and give better names to each photo.

It goes pretty fast but it still takes time. Actually the main problem is 
deciding which photos are worth scanning and in what order. Just do a few a 
day and eventually you'll get the job done.

Good luck and I hope you start earlier than I do when I decide to put together 
a group of scans to hand out Christmas.
