Dropbox/Failure to install

2009-02-21 Thread Stuart Breden
I have installed Dropbox at home on my single iMac but can't at work.   
Tried several times on different days.


Have a small Mac network with a Windows sever.

Suggestions?

Printer/CD DVD labels

2009-02-21 Thread Stuart Breden

I'm a general practitioner.  We store no hard copy.  All electronic.

For medico-legal reason we need to have a dated and signed read only  
weekly DVD back up.


What is the best small laser printer the could print these DVD's and/ 
or prints labels for them?

I doubt there is a laser printer, of any size, that will print on a  
DVD directly. They will print paper labels, if set properly, but I  
would be looking at an inkjet solution.


I have one of the smaller Epson (R230) which does a good job directly  
on DVD's and I'm sure Canon and HP have similar printers.

Re: Printer/CD DVD labels

2009-02-21 Thread Eugene

I agree with Mike.

Lasers use heat to print directly to an object. No disk will accept  
direct printing from a laser printer. Printing on labels is always  
dodgy as they can peel back and need a stomper to get them centred and  
balanced correctly.


Ink-jets are cheap and most that are made for printing on a disk can  
print on disks that has a white surface. These discs are now quite  
common.


Some external Mac friendly DVD burners such as Lacie are able to burn  
using light scribe media. These will burn the DVD and then scribe an  
image or text in mono chrome on the light scribe surface. Perhaps this  
is what you are referring to Stuart? Light scribe DVD disks are only a  
little more pricey than normal DVDs.


 Regards,
 Eugene

CrossOver for Mac

2009-02-21 Thread Stuart Breden

Any one using CrossOver for Mac?

I am trying but am not getting on with it very well.  I need to start  
with the basics to understand the concept.  i find it a very friendly  
company but not very friendly to get the hang of.


Where can I go to to get a good start and a good understanding of  
bottles etc.

How to right-click and look up in Wikipedia ?

2009-02-21 Thread Steven Knowles
Wondering if someone has already invented this wheel - I'm trying to  
avoid spending hours on it if so. I'm fairly sure it'd be a piece of  
cake for someone familiar with it.


As you'd know, you can double-click on a word in most documents to  
highlight it, and then right-click that word to immediately look it up  
in dictionary or Google or Spotlight.


How do I tweak the menu options, or add a new menu option, to enable  
me to do the same but look up in Wikipedia?

Re: GMail effective mail filtering

2009-02-21 Thread David Noel
As an early user of GMail, I'm impressed with the constantly
increasing range of extra facilities available. A nice one is 'Chat' -
if you are online to GMail at the same time as someone else on your
list who has a gmail address, you can chat (type messages) live with
them through a chat box which comes up automatically when the sender
makes a chat request.

We used it several times recently when our boys were in Central
America or Iceland and happened to be online (at an internet cafe) at
the same time as us.

And to this facility, Google have recently added vision capability. If
the sender of a chat has a webcam (as built in on all recent iMacs
etc), you can see the sender live in a small window at the top of the
chat box, and of course they can see you if you wish. The chat box can
also be 'popped out' away from the gmail page, and this makes the
vision box larger.

Hi Glen,

Well, it took me quite some time to find the toggle, but I had to use
Firefox instead of my Safari 1.3.2. Must say that I'm using OS X
10.3.9 at the moment. So possibly the latest Safari will not have that
problem.

Whatever, I'm extremely happy with GMail. As usual the best advice is
from WAMUG'ers (or WAMUGgians??).

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Kind regards and good night to all.

  Dear WAMUG'ers,
 
  Well, after over 7 days of using GMail to filter all the rubbish which
  was appearing in my mail, I am glad to say that I do not now have any
  problem! One big bonus, I do not feel inadequate in any field!!
 
  To those who suggested GMail, many thanks. Not only do I receive my
  filtered mail from my Westnet account, but I can also send mail from
  GMail having my Westnet address. Very convenient in some cases. And to
  my surprise retrieving my mail is very fast indeed.
 
  One small but unimportant problem, I do not know whether I can send my 
  messages via GMail in 'text' format. I have tried looking into this, but I 
  can only see HTML formatting for outgoing mail. Which means that I have to 
  go to my normal email application to send to the lists accepting only 
  'text' messages. But I can live with that.

need to

start the e-mac in target mode. To do that, just hold down the T key
whilst you boot up or restart the eMac. It should startup with a blank

Hi Martin,

A few things come to mind:

- Sometimes when I've had external HDs not show up unplugging and
re-plugging the firewire cable has helped - worth a try.

- Open disk utility on the iMac and see if it finds the the eMac's disk.

- Run system profiler on the iMac (open about this mac and click more
info or go to Applications/Utilities/System Profiler) and look under
Hardware, Firewire, and see if the eMac's disk is showing up. Let us know
what it shows.

- Do you have any other firewire device you can try on both computers, in
turn, just to check that the firewire ports ARE working on both machines.

Another alternative, if you find you have problems with one or the other of
the firewire ports, would be to connect the two computers with an ethernet
cable (obviously the eMac would need to be normally booted, not in target
mode) enable file sharing and transfer the files over the network
connection.

Hello Martin

Please be aware that some early iMacs cannot support Target Disk Mode.  
There is a list of the capable machines here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661

There are other ways to do what you want though. But I suggest you  
solve the T mode dilemma first.

Hi Martin,

To use firewire transfer, you need to have started one one the
computers in
Target mode - that way it just shows up as an external firewire
drive on the
other machine.

For the way you describe, ie to use the iMac to do the work, you
need to
start the e-mac in target mode. To do that, just hold down the  
T key
whilst you boot up or restart the eMac. It should startup with a  
blank

screen apart from the firewire symbol drifting around the screen.

You should then be able to see a new external drive (with the name
of the
eMac harddrive) on the iMac.

HTH

Cheers




Neil

Hi Everyone

I have an I-MC RUNNING 10.4.11 AND AN  e- Mac  running 10.4.11 as
well.I linked both machines with an firewire and try to transfer
my i-
Tunes library to the e-mac .

Can't find the e-mac in FINDER window on I-Mac.

How can I make sure that only the songs which are not on the e-mac
get imported.

Thanks a lot Martin
