Photo Scanner
I have about 150 Kodachrome 35mm slides to digitise and add to iPhoto. The best machine seems to be the Epson V700 because 12 slides can be done at once and from the reviews,results are quick and first class. I need a flat bed scanner for other work so I don't want a pure photo scanner. It comes with Photoshop Elements 6, (no good for 10.6.2) and 10.3.8 or later software. Can anyone comment on this machine and will it work ok with 10.6.2.

Setting up a wireless network
I am helping my son set up a new LAN at home. Currently he has a desktop PC with a USB printer and an HP (work) laptop with wireless connectivity. He has a D-Link G604T wireless router/modem and which has 4 ethernet ports. He is looking to add a MacBook and an iMac and to purchase a printer/scanner. He will phase out the desktop PC except for occasional necessary Windows tasks like eTax. The D-Link does not have a USB printer port but I see that printer/ scanner units are available with Wifi connectivity (Epson TX550W for example). Would the best way to go be to invest in Airport Express/ Extreme and get a non-wifi printer/scanner and use the printer facility to share among all units. This would make the wifi bit of the D-Link redundant but would not require a wireless enabled printer. Clearly the iMac and PC will be deskbound and can connect to the printer by ethernet (or wireless for the iMac). My own system is centred around an Airport Extreme and a DSL-504 router/modem and I share a laser printer among three computers very happily, including a wireless MacBook. Are there issues with printer/scanner units on this sort of setup? Words of wisdom will be welcomed.

OS X 10.5 - Lexmark x2530
Afternoon, I am just chasing some advice, once again! I've sent so many WAMUG e-mails recently! At work we've got a staff member with a Lexmark x2530 printer. We are trying to use it on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 MacBook Pro. This has been working previously but stopped working and we've been unable to get it working again. On the Lexmark website they've only got 10.6 drivers, no 10.5 anymore? (When we attempt to install the 10.6 drivers it stops telling us of the difference. Grr...) There is already a printer driver located on the computer, we've also tried re-installing off the supplied CD but when ever we try to print from any program it crashes the program. As soon as we remove the printer from the computer it removes the crashing issue. As a possible solution we also reset the CUPS system via the GUI in System Preferences to no avail. If there is any thoughts its appreciated!

Re: Setting up a wireless network
Hi Severin, I have not come across a printer/scanner unit that is supported using Airport Express/Extreme, if anyone has had success, please do share. If it were to work I would say it would only be printing and not scanning that would work. I have seen a couple of HP printer/scanner units with built in wifi work quite well, no experience with Epson though.

Hi Steven, I've been playing around with these all year while looking for a viable option to hold online meetings for (GMUG) Originally I was a big fan of Cisco's WebEx http://www.webex.com.au/. But found the meeting interface all over the place and sometimes confusing.So I decided to give GoToMeetinghttp://www.gotomeeting.com/and GoToWebinar http://www.gotomeeting.com/ from Citrix Onlinehttps://www.citrixonline.com/ a go I much prefer their product is a lot cleaner and easier to use. I would give all three products are go to see which one best fits your needs they should all offer a free trial. When signing up for a trial of GoToMeeting Use this link as you get a longer trial Then 30 days http://www.gotomeeting.com/s/referral Also when signing up for GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar When you get to the section about needing a credit card if you just closed the Webpage will e-mail you in 12 hours letting you know that you can try their products without a credit card -- Regards Kyle -- Kyle Kreusch - Webmaster, (GMUG) Ambassador This e-mail was Dictated Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 (GMUG) - Geraldton Macintosh User Group Website: http://www.gmug.org.au/ - -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: Setting up a wireless network
Hi Severin, If you get one the Epson Multi Function Wireless Network Ready Printers you can Print / Scan/Copy without any cables. They have a wireless chip inside and you setup their 802.11b/g WiFi Network then share the printer. I have an Epson TX700W and it only has a power cable connected to it and it is shared by 4 computers that are connected wirelessly to my Airport Networks ... I have 2 Networks one Airport Extreme 802.11n Only (5GHz), and one Airport Express 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible). http://www.epson.com.au/products/multifunctional/stylusTX700W.asp The TX800FW is a newer model. http://www.epson.com.au/products/multifunctional/stylusTX800FW.asp I'm not sure on the Epson TX550W, but I notice it's specifications list NETWORKING 802.11b/g WiFi. I think Daniel Kerr has the latest model of these MF Wireless Network Printers. He might comment on them if he can find the time as I know he is run off his little feet at the moment, and very sleep deprived. The other Multifunction Printers only print wirelessly, you need to connect them to your computer to scan as Michael has already mentioned.

Re: Setting up a wireless network
Hi Severin, Michael From memory, the thing about Airport Express is that for non-network enabled printers, printer/scanners etc only basic printing is supported. Eg for my canon IP4000, if plugged in via USB I can launch the printer utility and check ink levels, clean nozzles etc - however if set up as a wireless printer (plugged into the Airport Express) I can print just fine but can't perform these maintenance functions. I seem to remember previous posts relating to printer scanners saying that the scanning wasn't supported via the Airport Express unless the drivers covered this via the network - so, for example, a network printer/scanner with ethernet but no built-in wireless WOULD work wirelessly via an Airport Express because it had the drivers for network scanning. I'm going on memory here so you might want to check the archives to confirm. I guess, it is becoming less relevant now since on consumer level machines wireless now tends to be more common than ethernet. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Free webinar / web conferencing solutions on Mac ?
Hi Steven, You can have a look at DimDim. http://www.dimdim.com/ Glenn Nicholas OM4 :: 2009/11/30 Steven Knowles emai...@knowles.net.au: Presented with the usual overload of information via a web search, has anyone already had good experience with any free web conferencing or webinar solutions on the Mac? I need to present what I'm doing on my screen to multiple other parties, these other parties using a variety of Mac and Windows platforms. I know of Skype screen share, however it seems that Skype is limited to sharing your screen with only one other party, besides I've found Skype screen share to be lacking when it comes to overall performance and transmission delays of the screen activity. I need voice to be carried at the same time as what's on my screen. Thankful for any tips.

Re: Setting up a wireless network

What's happening here - IMAP account versus MailMessages folder
I have an IMAP account set up, in which were quite a few messages. A 3rd party also accesses this same IMAP account, and this 3rd party inadvertently deleted all of the messages. The account synchronised at my end, and so my view is also empty. However, if I check the folder at Library Mail imap-acco...@domain.com@mail.domain.com INBOX.imapmbox Messages, it's full of emlx messages. Intuitively I would have thought such a folder would be empty, in line with the empty IMAP account. However, there is another folder - Library Mail imap-acco...@domain.com@mail.domain.com INBOX, but in this folder the subfolders are only Apple Mail To Do.imapmbox, Deleted Messages.imapmbox, Drafts.imapmbox, Sent.imapmbox, Trash.imapmbox. With a view to recovering the lost messages which were in the IMAP account, which folder is the correct one to be looking in? I have all backing up to Time Capsule, so recovery shouldn't be a problem as the prior to deletion of the messages, the IMAP account had been sitting stagnant for a while. But I want to be sure I'm looking in the right place. Also, once I know which is the right place to find the deleted messages, what do I drag and where do I drop?

Re: migration assistant problem
Neil, and Susan, thanks for your detailed responses. Indeed turned out to be user accounts. After wiping the hard drive and reinstalling, all seems to be running spot on. Thanks again for your help. Best regards Justin Davies m...@justindavies.com.au On 29 Nov 2009, at 10:29 AM, Neil Houghton wrote: Hi Justin, I think this problem is usually when you set-up the new computer with a user account that is not exactly the same as on the old machine the folders with the red negative file are what you see if you try and look at another users folders. If you used migration assistant to migrate user folders then you should have the same user accounts as the old machine and so need to log into them using the (old) usernames and passwords. If you just use the default mac options when first setting up a new machine then that all usually happens pretty seamlessly. If you first set-up the new machine with a fresh owners account and then use migration assistant to bring things (other user accounts/ folders) over then you can run into problems if you are not exactly clear how the accounts are defined and set-up. Personally, I have several different computers (a couple of iMacs and a laptop) each has user accounts for both myself and my spouse. As a result I have need to transfer the user accounts around from time to time so what I do is just set-up a fresh owner account (called computer admin or some such thing) on each machine at first set-up and everytime I do a fresh system install these accounts just stay as admin accounts with no personal data etc then I can migrate user accounts from machine to machine as I see fit the admin accounts never get migrated and so variations in the admin account name/details are not important. Note that this approach will not suit many people you need to be careful to keep track of what is current in any user account from machine to machine but we each tend to use one of the iMacs as out personal computer and then just bring the laptop up to speed for the occasional trip away if we used the laptop more often I would look to just set-up some form of user folder synchronisation (as discussed in many WAMUG postings). However, if you are just migrating successively from an old machine to a new machine, you are probably best just going the simple Apple route and letting the set-up assistant take care of everything. If you are not sure exactly what you have done in terms of setting up new users and migrating old ones over then, providing that all the info is still on the old machine and you havent yet started creating new data on the new machine, you might be best just starting again restore the new machine using the disk(s) provided and then on first start-up let the initial set-up bring everything over from the old machine. You should repair permissions on the old machine before you start and, of course, it goes without saying that you should have back-ups of everything before you start! Also, there have been many previous WAMUG postings by Ronni and other WAMUG gurus (much more experienced and knowledgeable than myself) covering tips precautions covering system installations, updates, migrations etc check out the archives.

Intuitively I would have thought such a folder would be empty, in line with the empty IMAP account. Both the INBOX and INBOX.imapmbox folder are relevant. One latter contains the INBOX messages, the former contains the folders that are nested within the INBOX. (It won't be like this or everyone...it depends on the underlying setup of the brand of IMAP server.) I'd suggest the reason the .emlx files are still there because basically it is a cache, and Apple Mail hasn't yet 'purged' the cache. If you synchronised the account, the .emlx files would probably disappear to match the server. You are in a somewhat tricky situation, because you need to convince the server that the messages are not deleted, even though the server's index says those message IDs have been deleted. Restoring from backup *might* work, or on the other hand it could fail if the server will see the restored message IDs as 'zombies' and instructs Apple Mail to delete them again. You may find that you have to restore from backup into a folder on your Desktop, then 'Import' into Mail, then drag across from the Import folder to the IMAP account, to basically tell the server to add all the old messages as though they were new messages. But I'm just speculating. Wait for someone else with more definitive information (or check on Google). I've never had this problem and haven't tested it out.

MobileMe does not provide this. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Mob 0403 064 948 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
