Colour Printing
Hi Fellow Macites I was hoping someone out there could offer some advice in getting an Epson Multifunction RX350 colour printer to better match my Mac when printing photos. I am am using an Intel Mac Pro with OS 10.4.11 At present the printed colours do not come close to those on the monitor when printing photos from photo packages¹. Colours are pretty good when using graphic converter and word etc. I have tried to get it all better set up using ColourSycn and Colour manager but to no avail. I have also contacted Epson via email to be told I should use Epson ink and Epson paper (which I was already doing). The colours weren¹t that bad for the first 6 months and I am wandering if I have accidentally changed the cloursync or something by accident. Any ideas or points to web pages etc would be most welcome as it is getting a bit frustrating.

iPhoto won't recognise Nikon
Greetings All I am running iPhoto 9, 8.0.4 (409) and until today, it is set up to download photos from my Nikon D70.Now when I connect the camera using a cord to the USB slot on my MacBook Pro, iPhoto acknowledges that a camera has been connected and opens up but that is as far as it will go, it will not show the Nikon on the left hand panel or show the photos. I have now used three different cables in case that was the problem but it still won't work. Any suggestions?

Have you tried, deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD / Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. Quit iPhoto if it is running, then delete the plist file, then try connecting the Nikon. NB: You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.

Re: Colour Printing
Hi Laurie You'll have a hard time matching a lot of it unfortunately with only a 4 colour inkjet printer. The reason being is that what you see on screen then has to downgrade to print. To get a better match you'd be better suited to a 6 colour printer, as you then have Light Cyan and Light Magenta, and it makes a huge difference! Something like the R610 (RRP $199), which has the 6 individual tanks. (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta). http://www.epson.com.au/products/multifunctional/ Otherwise, yes, you'll going to have some fun trying to get it to match. Also this may help, from a client of mine,... http://shaggydogproductions.com.au/Pay_it_forward/Entries/2009/4/29_Calibra ting_your_display.html Hope that helps somewhere along the way.

Re: Export a Bookmarks Folder from Camino or Safari
Thanks for this Ronni I just tried it. I can't drag it out of Camino but can in Safari and Firefox (I was able to copy the entire Camino bookmarks folder over to both and then drag the 'Travel' folder in question to the desktop from Safari and Firefox). When I emailed it (to Elaine's iMac in the next room) I could not then import it, or drag and drop to the web browsers. Perhaps I just copy all the web links from the folder to an email and send them wholesale. That might be easier.

Re: Export a Bookmarks Folder from Camino or Safari
Hi ronni I just dragged every weblink out of the folder, one by one, into an email, and sent it to Elaine. They all open so I guess I've solved the challenge, albeit very clumsily. When in Safari on her iMac, we can then drag each link into a dedicated folder. I think there must be an easier way to do this though, but we're happy with the result for now.

I have an eMac running Tiger 10.4.11 I am trying to upgrade my modem from ADSL to ADSL 2 and when selecting Network from System Preferences a dialogue box appears which reads Your network settings have been changed by another application. No matter how many times I click OK it r keeps returning. The only way to get out of the loop is via Force Quit My question . is there an easy fix or must the operating system be reinstalled. Or perhaps I should just stay with the old modem. Thank you for any advice.

Re: Your network settings have been changed .......
John, I frequently have the same problem running Tiger 10.4.11 when trying to connect using 3mobile. I have wondered whether it is because my G3 PowerBook 400 is 9 years old and still on its first set of batteries - I have to reset date and time every-time I start the computer. Sometimes the message goes away if I restart, and sometimes it does not appear if I connect to the internet by using system preferences (network connect) rather than the menu bar, but there was one time in which I had to restart by using another username and re-setting preferences under that name and then restarting in my preferred user name. I know this hasn't helped much but at least now you know you're not an orphan! Regards, Michael Hawkins.

Security Check Require password to unlock each secure system preference. If this doesn't solve the problem or the problem returns. Try this: Make sure you write down all your Network Settings as you may have to re-configure your Network after deleting these files below. In the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder delete the following: com.apple.airport.preferences.plist NetworkInterfaces.plist preferences.plist com.apple.nat.plist All these files will regenerate as necessary when the associated system features are accessed. If you're using Airport or Internet Sharing you'll have to re- establish the appropriate settings, because these will have been lost when the preferences files are removed. This should permanently correct the problem.
