Re: Snow Leopard

2009-08-26 Thread Neil Houghton
Hi Bob,

I think you may have missed the point of Peter¹s question.

Ronni¹s email and link covers setting up and installing Snow Leopard ­so as
Ronni says:

 !!! VERY IMPORTANT !!!
 The computer you are going to install Snow Leopard on MUST be setup with the
 GUID partitioning scheme.


However, if I understand Peter¹s question correctly, he is wondering whether
(having installed Snow Leopard on a correctly formatted computer) he will
still be able to work with external drives that are not GUID formatted - ie
his time machine backup drive and music/photo drive.

So Snow leopard needs to be installed on a GUID partitioned drive - but can
it read/write to non GUID partitioned external drives.

Sorry Peter, I cannot give you a definite answer on that.


Cheers


Neil

Hi Peter,

2009/8/26 Peter Tomlinson raspt...@gmail.com:
 Regarding the formatting of drives does that include all external drives?

Snow Leopard will continue to read and write external disks (and thumb
drives, etc.). The GUID partition issue is only relevant for disks
onto which you are installing Snow Leopard. This is because GUID
enables an Intel computer to boot using Snow Leopard. Since you are
using Time Machine for backups, this is not considered Installing Snow
Leopard for GUID purposes. If you ever needed to restore your
computer, you'd most likely to do so by booting from a Mac OS X
installation DVD, hence you don't need to reformat your Time Machine
disk. If on the other hand you were making a live backup directly
onto your external disk for booting in an emergency, the GUID rule
would presumably apply. (?)

i can assume that only the harddisk where snow leopard lives must  
have a guid partition, it would be strange if i have to shift over 5  
terabytes out to nowhere just to repartition/reformat all my hd's  
which are extended/extended-jounalled format

there is no warning on apples site about this

Hi Peter  James,

My original post with the comment.
 !!! VERY IMPORTANT !!!
The computer you are going to install Snow Leopard on MUST be setup  
with the GUID partitioning scheme.


Only refers to the Installation of Snow Leopard, nothing to do with  
Time Machine.

Peter's Time Machine backup will still work in Snow Leopard.

You can't boot from a Time Machine backup, but if you boot from the  
install DVD, you can restore your backup to another disk.


So, the only thing Peter cannot do is boot from the External Drive  
that he has formatted in Apple Partition Map Scheme.
If he wanted a Bootable backup, he would need to use another External  
Firewire Drive  format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

and GUID Partition Table Partition Map Scheme.

Then use either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner and create a bootable  
backup of his system.


Well, that is how I understand how it works. Please correct me if I am  
wrong in my understanding of Snow Leopard  Time Machine.


Cheers,
Ronni

that I can see which enables you to effectively state If message is  
flagged then Mail seems to acknowledge the relevance of flagging  
a message if a message meets certain conditions, but doesn't allow you  
to recognise a flagged or unflagged message as a condition in order to  
implement an action :-(

64 Mb of Ram

the hard drive was 2 GB and you were lucky if you could burn a CD and
the operating system got to be a magical OS9 on a 200 Mhz cpu  ?

Re: someone using our wireless

2009-08-26 Thread Steven Knowles


If you know how to log in to your router Rosemary, which you should be  
able to do from your web browser, you can (i) go to wireless security  
and set a password, and/or (ii) set up a closed network. For the  
latter, look for something that says publish SSID or broadcast  
SSID, along those lines, and elect not to broadcast your SSID. This  
means that people can't see the name of your wireless network publicly  
unless they know the name of it. So you might like to change the name  
of your network as well.


Some high level tips - you may need to state the make  model of your  
router for someone to give you more specific direction.

Unlikely to be the case if you have your wireless password protected

into your router and set up a password for your wireless network if  
you haven't already.  If you have one but your still concerned then  
you can change your password.  You can probably see what computers are  
connected to your router from your router login or you may be able to  
have a look at your usage patterns from your isp login if they provide  
this feature.


Stuff like youtube can use a surprising amount of data quite rapidly.

WAMUG Meeting Reminder: 01 September 2009 (Please Do Not Reply)

2009-08-26 Thread Pete Smith

G'day again all WAMUGGERS

Well, August has nearly past us by. Have you set your iCal for next  
Tuesday 1 September 2009 for the next WAMUG meeting?


In no particular order:

Denice Williams is going to talk to us about Digital Photography;
Daniel Kerr will tell us about iWeb; and
Hopefully, Craig Bruce will be able to give us an Apple TV demo  
(although this is still to be confirmed).
(Unfortunately, both Daniel and Craig were crook and unable to make it  
last time. Rumour has it they left their Windows open and caught a  
virus?!?!

Re: Entourage to Mail

2009-08-26 Thread Rob Phillips





Sorry John. I was too terse. I can't easily tell you exactly what to
do. I currently use the Thunderbird mail program, and I copied a
screen dump from that. If you can find the equivalent 'advanced'
screen in both Mail and Entourage, you will probably find that one is
different from the other.

For example, in Entourage, it's Tools/Accounts/ select an account/
Edit/Account settings then 'click here for advanced receiving options'.
One of the other options there is to 'Save my password in the Keychain'

You will need to find the similar settings in Mail and compare them.

Hope this is clearer.

 It'll be one of these

the smtp settings for sending. Assuming you are using POP.

Hi all 
On my Intel iMac I can receive and send emails using Entourage without
a problem and without using a password. 
  
However when I switched to Mac Mail the program asks me for a password
and does not accept the password which would normally give me access to
Westnet server. 
I have checked at Mail preferences - Accounts which looks OK and phoned
Westnet but they could not help. 
  
Anyone got any ideas? 
Cheers

Re: Some Mac NOSTALGIA

2009-08-26 Thread Rob Phillips


Hmmm. And I started in 1987 (I think), programming with a Mac 512k with 
2 400k floppy drives - no hard disk.  The OS fitted on one floppy, the 
compiler fitted on another, and my program was on a third.  Most of my 
time was spent swapping floppies.  Nevertheless, the graphical user 
interface was a huge step up on the text based mainframes I was used to 
using.


And then there are the multimedia and animation programs our team 
developed in the 1990s with Supercard.  These absolutely fly now - too 
fast to be meaningful...


And then I had to do some work on a Windows XP machine the other day.  
Mac OS4 or 5 (from 1987) was definitely more friendly!


Back to my zimmer frame.

Mine was an Apple //c in 1984. We bought in preference to the brand  
new Mac at the time because it had a lot more educational software for  
it, and the RAM was the same in each (128Kb! - not Mb!!). I also  
remember buying a 1 Megabyte RAM Card for an Apple IIgs I was using  
several years later, paying around $700 dollars for it and being happy  
with that! This card was populated with a veritable forest of 16k  
chips. Of course, that was in the days when Bill Gates was confidently  
predicting that no personal computer would ever need more that 640K of  
RAM.

Yes, can remember the Apple II with its 5 1/4 inch floppies with  
affection.


  I was working at the Nowra (NSW) paper mills and implemented a mill  
shop floor data collection using about a dozen apple computers  
networked together using a Corvus network with a central disc drive.  
The network was 1 mb/sec and was an early form like Ethernet.


  All software was written by me in Apple DOS or 7502 assembler.

  The system was operational for about 5 years and served the mill  
well.  Then replaced by the new boy on the market - IBM personal  
computers.

Hi all
On my Intel iMac I can receive and send emails using Entourage  
without a problem and without using a password.


However when I switched to Mac Mail the program  asks me for a  
password and does not accept the password which would normally give  
me access to Westnet server.
I have checked at Mail preferences - Accounts which looks OK and  
phoned Westnet but they could not help.


Hi John,


1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Open Keychain Access  Passwords  Internet.
3. Find the password that Mail is having a problem with and delete it,  
then quit Keychain Access.
4. Restart Mail and enter the password again when asked, and check to  
the box to save it in the Keychain.


 It shouldn't ask you again unless your Keychain becomes corrupted in  
the future.

Keychain?

2009-08-26 Thread Hugh Griffiths

Is there a way to turn off keychain? Or disable it for certain apps, like 
safari?

 
Best Regards
Hugh Griffiths
