Re: CD/DVD Cover design software?
Thank you to all who replied to my query :) Discus seems like a very good and popular product. But I think I'll go with either Disc Cover by Belight, or DiscLabel due to their integration with Aperture. Thanks for informing me of the problems you had Martin with alignment, something to be wary of in the future. Severin, I believe that Discus now has the facility to print directly onto discs.

I still use Discus to create the label then export the finished product and import it into the Epson software. Discus has fine tuning of the position when you print to gloss stock sticky back paper and handles any paper makers format that you can think of!. I think it will print direct to discs but I have not ventured into this!

It also features integration with Aperture as well as iPhoto and embedded integration with BeLight's Art Text product which are very handy features for power mac users. http://www.belightsoft.com/products/disccover/overview.php One problem I had with the old version (v1.5.1) was getting it to line up with the discs consistently (our Epson has a DVD printing attachment for printing directly onto discs). It was also a bit of trial and error getting the right colour settings for printing directly onto printable CDs and DVDs - It often turned out that the plain paper setting gave the best colours, while the CD-R setting ended up very pale. However, this was an issue for both the Epson software as well as Disc Cover and I think is more an issue with the type of printable discs we were using. I haven't yet used version 2 of Disc Cover which I believe fixes the disc alignment issue. (v2 was actually released a year and a half ago and is now up to v2.3.1, so I am a bit behind the times!) I haven't used Discus - it looks a bit too much like an MS Paint port from Windows 95 and the templates look a bit too Microsoft Clipart-like for my taste, but it sounds pretty popular! (Disc Cover is Mac OS X - only and requires 10.4 or 10.5) Have any of you Discus users found any problems with it like disc alignment or have most of you just been printing on disc labels?

Re: free telstra wifi, was RE: more iphone questions
Hi Hugh, On 15/07/2009, at 1:33 PM, Hugh Griffiths wrote: I have tried to do a bit more research about this free Telstra wifi question for iphone, and I have been given several answers, none of which quite make sense, and none of which I can test or validate as I don't yet have an iphone. 1/. Telstra iphone support says that the iphone downloads a different set of apps and Os when you connect to itunes, and one of these bits actually knows that you are on a Telstra sim and have an iphone therefore you get authenticated logon to Telstra wireless points. From my experience I understand that when the Telstra Person inserted my SIM Card (which was my original SIM card I had in my old Nokia), connected it to iTunes on their computer it Tethered / Activated my iPhone Plan. 2/. Telstra sales man says that you need to have an actual iphone plan from Telstra as this triggers the authentication That's correct as far as I am aware. 3/. Whirlpool forums indicate that with the older iphone 3G the wifi spots were only free when the bill was generated, ie you associated with a Telstra wifi spot, accepting the charges, but at the end of the session the charge was zero'd. That sounds correct. On my New iPhone 3G S you download BigPond Mobile for iPhone which places an icon on your Home Screen. NB: BigPond Mobile for iPhone content is available when your iPhone is connected to the Telstra Next G™ network, but is not available when accessing the internet via a WiFi hotspot. When you are in a Telstra Wireless Hot Spot (WA doesn't have many at all), you launch the BigPond Mobile for iPhone you are directed to the Telstra Wi-Fi login screen. You select the Telstra Post-Paid Mobile login option and enter your Telstra mobile phone number. Read and accept the 'Things you need to know'. You'll receive a one-time login PIN via SMS. Via the login screen, enter the 6-digit PIN and submit the details. Then when you log off from the service you'll receive an SMS containing your session details. The message will confirm the session is free for Phone Plan for iPhone customers. http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/phones/iphone/get_started.html http://www.telstra.com.au/wirelesshotspots/locations.htm Does anyone have any experience of any of these? It occurs to me that if 3 is the case, then you really have no choice but to buy an iphone through Telstra if the free wifi is a big selling point, but if one or 2 is the case then it may be possible just to have an applstore iphone, a Telstra nextg/3g sim and the connection settings to make it work? I am not sure, but I imagine you need to have an iPhone Plan with Telstra which includes Data to be able to access the Telstra Wireless Hot Spots for FREE.

iPhone-So who's got the best iPhone deal? Appl e blocking Push on unlocked iPhones
Hi iPhone 3G 3G S people, More information overload for us to wade through and make sense of ;-) I posted this back on 13th July: 3 announces iPhone pricing: Aside from the usual array of 24-month plans, 3 is giving customers on existing plans the option of taking up an iPhone for an additional cost of $35, $40 or $45 per month, depending on the model. In addition, 3 is offering the iPhone on a prepaid basis. Customers choosing this option will have to outlay $759 upfront for the iPhone 3G 8GB, $929 for the iPhone 3GS 16GB and $1129 for the iPhone 3GS 32GB. 3 does not plan to charge customers extra for using their iPhones as an external modem and tethering them to a computer. http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/mobiles/3-announces-iphone-pricing-20090713-dij7.html Now there is more: Three releases iPhone 3GS pricing - so who's got the best iPhone deal? http://www.smartcompany.com.au/telecommunications/20090714-three-releases-iphone-3gs-pricing-we-compare-other-telcos-for-best-plan.html Apple blocking push on unlocked iPhones: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10286406-37.html Czech developer PoweryBase is claiming that Apple is intentionally blocking push notifications to users of unlocked iPhones. PoweryBase, makers of several applications that use Apple's push notification service, said 80 percent of its customer support complaints are coming from a very small minority of its customers. All of these customers are using unlocked iPhones. The developer explains that when a push application requests an ID from the Apple server, the iPhone receives a unique token. Once the token is received, push notifications proceed as you would expect. The process only takes a few seconds to complete. However, PoweryBase says on unlocked phones they have seen the Apple server not respond at all. This just leaves the user's app in limbo until it times out.

Re: iPhone-So who's got the best iPhone deal? Apple blocking Push on unlocked iPhones
Hi Ronni and iPhoners It's getting complicated isn't it? I got my iPhone 3GS last week and have put the SIM into it from my old Nokia and it works perfectly. Obviously not at NextG speeds but so far the Telstra normal service seems to drive the GPS/maps app perfectly well. Phone calls are fine and it's great as a Wifi tool, locking onto networks without any problem, including the one at home. One of the first apps I downloaded was Reunion, the great genealogy program for Macs which now has an iPhone version. It means I can sync client files onto the iPhone and go off and do research if I need to. I haven't tried the Telstra hotspots, but there aren't all that many in Perth. I plan over time to try out various SIMS - there doesn't seem to be much recognition by the telcos that there must be a significant number of unlocked phones out there...

Re: Macbook battery
Hi Chris I'm afraid a replacement battery is not automatic inside a 3 year warranty. Apple may well claim normal wear and tear as the 300 cycles is not guaranteed. Mine had 226 cycles and I had to buy a new one. Needless to say it only has 5 on it now as I am more aware.

Mike Sorry to pimp my own work, but have you seen my iPhone app, Instaviz? You can do charts, mind maps and such just by sketching the shapes and linking them up.

Phone calls are fine and it's great as a Wifi tool, locking onto networks without any problem, including the one at home. One of the first apps I downloaded was Reunion, the great genealogy program for Macs which now has an iPhone version. It means I can sync client files onto the iPhone and go off and do research if I need to. I haven't tried the Telstra hotspots, but there aren't all that many in Perth.

Re: Macbook battery
Hi Chris (and Daniel), We are (or should be) listed as a service provider in Bunbury. We have a small service office in Rose Street, but not a retail store. We primarily work in the education sector throughout the Bunbury area and SouthWest. Our technician is also providing service to customers through Probyte. At the moment he is not available as he is attending to family matters over east. We are looking at a second technician for Bunbury, who can also provide Windows support to schools (so if anyone knows someone who wants a job in Bunbury we're looking please call). The only other option is to send it to Perth to one of the service centres or to our office in Albany. We have a 2-3 day turnaround generally. Feel free to call Raymond in our Albany store to discuss the problem as we have replaced quite a few batteries like this. On the flip side, we've also had to reject some dependant on age and cycles.

Telstra iphone support says that the iphone downloads a different set of apps and Os when you connect to itunes, and one of these bits actually knows that you are on a Telstra sim and have an iphone therefore you get authenticated logon to Telstra wireless points. From my experience I understand that when the Telstra Person inserted my SIM Card (which was my original SIM card I had in my old Nokia), connected it to iTunes on their computer it Tethered / Activated my iPhone Plan. 2/. Telstra sales man says that you need to have an actual iphone plan from Telstra as this triggers the authentication That's correct as far as I am aware. 3/. Whirlpool forums indicate that with the older iphone 3G the wifi spots were only free when the bill was generated, ie you associated with a Telstra wifi spot, accepting the charges, but at the end of the session the charge was zero'd. That sounds correct. On my New iPhone 3G S you download BigPond Mobile for iPhone which places an icon on your Home Screen. NB: BigPond Mobile for iPhone content is available when your iPhone is connected to the Telstra Next GT network, but is not available when accessing the internet via a WiFi hotspot. When you are in a Telstra Wireless Hot Spot (WA doesn't have many at all), you launch the BigPond Mobile for iPhone you are directed to the Telstra Wi-Fi login screen. You select the Telstra Post-Paid Mobile login option and enter your Telstra mobile phone number. Read and accept the 'Things you need to know'. You'll receive a one-time login PIN via SMS. Via the login screen, enter the 6-digit PIN and submit the details. Then when you log off from the service you'll receive an SMS containing your session details. The message will confirm the session is free for Phone Plan for iPhone customers. http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/phones/iphone/get_started.html http://www.telstra.com.au/wirelesshotspots/locations.htm Does anyone have any experience of any of these? It occurs to me that if 3 is the case, then you really have no choice but to buy an iphone through Telstra if the free wifi is a big selling point, but if one or 2 is the case then it may be possible just to have an applstore iphone, a Telstra nextg/3g sim and the connection settings to make it work? I am not sure, but I imagine you need to have an iPhone Plan with Telstra which includes Data to be able to access the Telstra Wireless Hot Spots for FREE.

Love it if the store was at Garden City too, being a fellow Southie :-). Also makes sense with the lack of resellers in this neck of the woods (Leeming through to Freo). Neglected for too long!
