To split an event, open an event and highlight the first photo that will be the first photo in the new event. Then under the Events menu option on the menu bar, choose Split Event. You can also move a photo or photos from one event to another. To do so, highlight two events and then double-click on one of them, which will open both events. You can then drag and drop photos between the two open events. Lastly, you can choose the photo in an event to be the image to appear in the thumbnail. Apple calls it, the key photo.

G'Day Ronni While you are advising on iPhoto could you briefly advise me as to what advantages there would be for me to upgrade to iLife 11 from 9, I am using v 8.1.2. I am not a great photo taker but occassionally zap off a few. I don't use some of the features in my version mainly only keywords so perhaps upgrading would not offer much.

Re: Aged iPhoto / iTunes Novice Needs Help
Hi Barry, If iPhoto v8.1.2 is doing everything you want to do with your photos, upgrading is probably not worth it. iPhoto v9 does have a lot of ‘New Features’ to iPhoto v8. Have a look here for details of all the new features: http://www.apple.com/au/ilife/iphoto/ Click on “What’s New in iPhoto” and then click on the ‘Read more’ sections. It all depends if you want any of the new features.

10 exciting system changes in Mountain Lion
Hi All Some interesting things mentioned today for ML,... http://www.macworld.com/article/165496/2012/02/ten_exciting_system_changes_in_mountain_lion.html I quite like the Multi-disk Backup feature for Time Machine. An overdue feature I think! People can now run two Time Machine backups easily and keep one offsite. So that will be good for the non backup, easy backups types. At least their data should be safer then no backup,..or one backup ;)) One feature I'm not too sure about yet is One stop Software Updating. Sure, I can see this being quite good in general. The thing that bothers me with it is from a consulting point of view. I know I've mentioned it before, but will mention it again. If I'm doing a setup for a client (or a new client), I would normally do all the upgrades for them. (as I have them on a support Hard Drive I use). That way the machine is all done, ready to go, for them to start using it. Even now with Lion and some of the software I can't upgrade it, as Mac App Store requires logging in with AppleID to do the update. So I can do most the other software updates, I just cant install the update for iPhoto (9.2.1). If I try installing it from my downloaded Disk Image of it, it tells me I need to download it from the Mac App Store. But as I don't have the clients AppleID (which I don't really want their AppleID and password for obvious reasons), then I can't update it. So to me this seems like a bit more of an hassle. Normally I'd do these sorts of things as goodwill, overnight to keep the costing down for clients. Now if I can't do any of the updates offsite on a clients machine, I have to allow more time onsite to do all the updates. Or leave it to the client to do. (or maybe I'm missing something else,...lol) Maybe Apple are trying to phase me out,. Again, maybe it will work slightly different,..heres's hoping! :) I guess we won't know til the Mountain Lions out in the wild,... :) Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: daniel AT macwizardry.com.au Web: http://www.macwizardry.com.au **For everything Macintosh** -- 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 Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Hi Bill, To view your photo email messages: To view email you send from iPhoto, you need to send yourself each email message. iPhoto can automatically send you a “blind” carbon copy (blind means that your recipients won’t see that you are a recipient too). Choose iPhoto Preferences, and then click Advanced. Select “Automatically Bcc myself.” *You can also see whether or when you emailed a photo*.

Or,..if you prefer doing it the old way you can do the following. In iPhoto go to the iPhoto menu and choose Preference, then where it says Email photos using: you can set this to your email client (Mail etc) instead of iPhoto. I must admit, I prefer doing it this way,...but maybe that's just me. (And yes, I know you can open the Photo Browser from within Mail as well to get photos that way.

Microsoft started using Exchange Web Services protcol beginning with Exchange 2007. This is what OSX's Mail uses and why it won't work directly with Exchange 2003. Microsoft has already ended mainstream support for Exchange 2003. So why would Apple add support for a version of software that the manufacturer doesn't support anymore? Since most companies consider Exchange a mission critial server, any company still using Exchange 2003 has seriously bigger problems on their hands and that is something that Apple can't really help them with. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2704570?start=0tstart=0 Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 22/02/2012, at 11:36 PM, Eugene de Gouw edeg...@iinet.net.au wrote: Thanks very much for your prompt reply Ronni, always appreciated.

However, when someone sends me a calendar from outlook it sends an .xml file. On clicking this Final Cut Pro offers to open it for me - which is quite useless. 'Open with' only shows other applications which don't help either. How can I get mail to accept a Outlook calendar and forward it to iCal?

Re: 10 exciting system changes in Mountain Lion
Hi Daniel, One feature I'm not too sure about yet is One stop Software Updating. This is what I was most concerned about and did not like, when The App Store was first introduced, and you and I have had lengthy talks on this issue. How do Apple expect Consultants to be able to update individual clients machines? Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 23/02/2012, at 9:34 PM, Daniel Kerr wa...@macwizardry.com.au wrote: Hi All Some interesting things mentioned today for ML,... http://www.macworld.com/article/165496/2012/02/ten_exciting_system_changes_in_mountain_lion.html I quite like the Multi-disk Backup feature for Time Machine. An overdue feature I think! People can now run two Time Machine backups easily and keep one offsite. So that will be good for the non backup, easy backups types. At least their data should be safer then no backup,..or one backup ;)) One feature I'm not too sure about yet is One stop Software Updating. Sure, I can see this being quite good in general. The thing that bothers me with it is from a consulting point of view. I know I've mentioned it before, but will mention it again. If I'm doing a setup for a client (or a new client), I would normally do all the upgrades for them. (as I have them on a support Hard Drive I use). That way the machine is all done, ready to go, for them to start using it. Even now with Lion and some of the software I can't upgrade it, as Mac App Store requires logging in with AppleID to do the update. So I can do most the other software updates, I just cant install the update for iPhoto (9.2.1). If I try installing it from my downloaded Disk Image of it, it tells me I need to download it from the Mac App Store. But as I don't have the clients AppleID (which I don't really want their AppleID and password for obvious reasons), then I can't update it. So to me this seems like a bit more of an hassle. Normally I'd do these sorts of things as goodwill, overnight to keep the costing down for clients. Now if I can't do any of the updates offsite on a clients machine, I have to allow more time onsite to do all the updates. Or leave it to the client to do. (or maybe I'm missing something else,...lol) Maybe Apple are trying to phase me out,. Again, maybe it will work slightly different,..heres's hoping! :) I guess we won't know til the Mountain Lions out in the wild,... :) Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: daniel AT macwizardry.com.au Web: http://www.macwizardry.com.au **For everything Macintosh** -- 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 Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug -- 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 Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Re: Second Apple store for Perth?
Yes, I certainly wouldn't wish an Apple Store in Joondalup. The guys struggle enough to compete with low margins, high and increasing overheads, discount shops (they sell the product, not the service), hard to get stock (yet an Apple Store will get it straight away), etc etc. To put an Apple Store there would certainly make their life harder. South Perth would certainly be an interesting place to put one. MaxStyle got out in time obviously (to Myaree) if that is the case. Don't get me wrong, I think the Apple Store are good for some things. I just still think it a bit of a conflict of interest that a supplier of goods can compete with it's own channel. Stop and think for a second if this happened in your line of business. Someone that supplied goods (or services) to you started opening shops in direct competition to you (with quick access to goods that you seem to take longer to get (or in much less quantities). Yes, I know competition is good. It helps you work on doing things better. I don't have a perfect way for it to all work. Maybe I'm just seeing the wrong big picture of things happening. Like they say, we may see all the little things closing up and then the larger players being the only ones around. Which then stifles competition.

Bigpond 3.0
Has anyone on the list had any experience with bigpond cable 3.0. I've just upgraded and while the modem they supplied (netgear cg3100) works fine for wireless (and is fast) it won't accept any cables plugged into the Ethernet ports, ie I get no lights or connection for anything plugged into the actual Ethernet ports. I have tried the obvious like changing port/cable/device but none connect. I called bigpond support and they put me through to the Mac support team who say the modem is broke and they will replace it? My question is if I had a windows computer and used the cd like they suggest would it have worked properly?

Re: Last day to remove you Google search history
I second that Ray. I have immediately closed one of my two gmail accounts, but sadly cannot succeed with the second - just too hard ( thanks for the advice Ronni). I noticed on numerous occasions a small window on the Google site talking about privacy. Frankly its not private and I am opposed to the Orwellian undertones of Google. I have clicked learn more and got bogged down in a load of obscure tripe. Scroogle was a darned useful site. There may be others?

Re: Last day to remove you Google search history
Another I used was Cuil Search Engine, but it was also shutdown and now: Google has acquired seven pending search user interface patents from defunct, erstwhile challenger Cuil. Google declined to say how it would appropriate the technology.” http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Search-Engines/Google-Buys-Cuil-Search-Patent-Applications-207537/ Cheers, Ronni On 24/02/2012, at 11:52 AM, Ray Forma wrote: Sadly, as of three days ago Scroogle Scraper is no more.

Re: Bigpond 3.0
Hello Hugh, I have recently changed my Bigpond supplied Netgear CG814WG Cable modem which seemed to drop out several times a day. The helpful http://whirlpool.net.au/ forum guided me to purchase a Motorola 5101i single port modem from ebay. I have just this morning got the system functional with a SnapGear 300 router that connects the Modem to my home network. It wasn't all that simple, but I've achieved what I wanted. My experience with the Bigpond installation CD was dismal on the Mac and I carefully followed every single animated picture but the modem would not connect to Bigpond. When I rang Bigpond Tech support, they got me to fire up a PC - shame on me, yes I do have some in the house that belong to my boys. Parenting fail I know. But the PC didn't work either and the Phone support guy could see that I had a modem connected, but that it was not registered properly. Then the guy tells me to simply unplug the old Netgear router/modem, plug the new one into the Mac and he would transfer me to Mac support. I had removed the Bigpond installation CD, and bingo the Mac OSX worked it all out - unlike the PC and without the dubious benefit of the installation CD. I assume Bigpond cable support would have told you they have one modem registered for your account, and that needs to be deregistered, then the new one registered for it to connect to the internet. I assume they have done some other tests to ensure your current modem is cactus. However, maybe I assume too much. I suggest you remove the installation CD from the computer, plug in your new modem/router, directly to the ethernet port (and the cable as an input), restart your modem and your computer, open up a web browser and see what comes up. Hopefully your modem will try to reregister and you can see how you go. You might reinstall your old unit in the meantime if this doesn't, but my suggestion is to leave that CD in it's packet and disregard any self doubt about whether using a PC would have helped. Let us know how it goes. Tim On 24/02/2012, at 11:57 AM, hugh griffiths wrote: Has anyone on the list had any experience with bigpond cable 3.0.

Re: Bigpond 3.0
Many thanks for that. My experience was similar in that I unplugged the old modem and plugged the new one in, once it booted I was able to login to it using the 192.168.0.1 address wirelessly and the default admin password. I then set up a new wap password and was able to wirelessly connect to the Telstra website to login and register the new modem. I could then connect using iMac, 2 iPhones 2ipads and a MacBook all wirelessly, but neither the MacBook, appletv, timecapsule or DVr could connect using ethernet cables. I now think that Telstra support must be right and the modem is faulty Best Regards Hugh Griffiths mobile +61 407 477 311 On 24/02/2012, at 12:23, Tim Law t...@peoplehelp.com.au wrote: Hello Hugh, I have recently changed my Bigpond supplied Netgear CG814WG Cable modem which seemed to drop out several times a day.
