Re: cannot view emails

[Denise Williams]

Hi Susan
Thanks for your reply. Yes i agree, my query was a little vague.  And it now 
seems it's a bigger issue than just ticking a few boxes.  I eventually got onto 
Telstra and they couldn't fix my problem for free so now I'm paying a tech 
($120) who was very helpful but also couldn't fix the problem - of course I 
only pay when they can fix it.  They are going to get back to me.
And yes I do use Mail.  
I spent 3 hours on the phone with both the Telstra advisor & the technician 
today.  There is a problem with my home phone interfering with my internet 
connection. I live in Trigg & I believe my internet is on a paired line. I have 
constant internet dropouts & have had this for 10 years. I may just find that 
spending $120 will be a good investment!  If they can fix my dropouts PLUS get 
my personal emails to come through, then I'll be happy.   I haven't been 
receiving any WAMUG emails since end of October but after their intervention 
today, I now have nearly 2 months worth to look at. Happy bed time reading!!
Thanks again & in case anyone is vaguely interested I can update you with a 
result.
Kind Regards
Denise Williams

cannot view emails

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
im currently waiting on the phone - 15 min wait to speak to a Telstra operator 
but in the mean time I might try to get an answer to my query from WAMUG.
I have a Bigpond email account and for some obscure reason my emails are not 
being sent to my home computer, only to my iPhone & iPad.
This happened on 8th Dec.
Could someone please direct me to find where I can tick the right box on my 
home computer (iMac 27" IOS 10.7.5) to say I want my Bigpond emails to come 
through to me.
Thanks VM.

Account name for group- make a payment

[Denise Williams]

Hello Ronni
Yes you are right there is a small JOIN button in the top right hand corner of 
the web page, although I feel it slightly confusing, in that I 'JOINED' many 
years ago.  Having a 'RENEW SUBSCRIPTION' button would be more obvious.
And YES I have tried to pay my subscription by going to JOIN (as you say) but 
the ANZ bank will not allow me to use the words 'Western Australian Macintosh 
Users Group' as an account name. It's too long for their system.  I now see 
from the other posts (thanks everyone) that it's OK to write 'WAMUG'. I was 
under the belief that the banks were too pedantic about using an acronym. 
Fortunately Maureen has now sent me an easier way to pay. 
BTW, even if I was a rocket scientist, I can't presume that the ANZ bank will 
allow an abbreviation of account names!!
Thanks again for assistance everyone.
Denise Williams

 Couldn't agree more with everything you have mentioned Daniel.
 
 I fail to see how anyone can find paying the $30 Membership subscription to 
 WAMUG difficult... The JOIN button is very prominent on the website... Just 
 'click' the Join button, then read and follow the instructions!
 
 It's not Rocket Science for goodness sake.
 
 There is nothing wrong with the structure or function of the WAMUG website.

 Yep shortening it to WAMUG will work as well. 
 
 Though I think the website is pretty easy to find it - it's under the Join 
 button right at the top. 
 Perhaps that's just me though. 
 And all the information is there, so it covers all the different ways to pay 
 and the information required for paying. 
 
 And on every email that goes to the list at the footer is all the links to 
 the Archives. Which has a search tab there for searching for membership or 
 join or agm , all of which will find the information. 
 
 I think the archives are sometimes overlooked for a great use of info, even 
 just checking if a subject has been asked before. 
 It has well over 50-60,000 emails there spanning many years. And can be 
 searched or sorted in different ways. And while threads can be grouped and 
 read. 
 
 Just my 2cents worth. 
 
 Kind regards

 Here is a cut  paste form the website - and I agree with you it does 
 need some upgrading but it’s the problem of finding time  expertise. 
 
 NB It may be better to copy  paste the members...@wamug.org.au into a 
 separate email. I don’t thing the one in the cut  past bit is live.
 
 If your bank does not allow you to put your name in the reference area 
 just explain who you are in the email.
 
 Hope this helps and that soon things slow down for you.

AGM today

[Denise Williams]

Good morning Maureen
I have replied earlier, to say that I would be coming to the AGM today at 12.30 
but I'm afraid I will need to send my apologies instead.  Life is very busy for 
me ATM and other things have come up. I would really liked to have come  shown 
my support for all you wonderful people.  But can I suggest that if you need an 
extra vote on anything, then I'm happy to vote over the phone!!My number is 
0417184592.
I also received a message from someone else at WAMUG that my $30 subscription 
didn't go through, 2 weeks ago.   It is not showing up on my banking so that 
will be correct - I have been unable to pay.  I just tried again but the bank 
won't allow me to use the Acct name as it's too long.  And unfortunately I 
deleted a heap of emails this morning, one of which I think, was explaining how 
to pay more easily. I have always found it difficult to make WAMUG payments!!   
Seems the web page is in need of an overhaul - wish I could help but don't have 
these skills.
Sincere apologies again
Hope the meeting goes well.

Re: Committee News

[Denise Williams]

Hi Maureen
Yes, please put me down for the AGM on Sunday 8th March.
And I would like to pay my membership fee but haven't found a way to do this. 
I've checked the WAMUG websites but I can only find how to subscribe  
unsubscribe but not how to pay (as I'm already subscribed).

Thanks very much

 Hello Wonderful WAMUGgers,
 
 Please take the time to read this ‘bulletin.’ Below are three items of 
 importance that concern us all.
 
 
 1 FINALISING MEMBERSHIP
 
 Thank you to all the members who have paid their dues.  Financial membership 
 of WAMUG allows members to post queries to the list and to receive advice 
 and information.  Your $30 subscription runs for the calendar year from 1 
 January to 31 December.  We are now in the third month of this year and it 
 is time to review the membership list to ensure that paid-up members have 
 the privileges they are entitled to.  If you have already paid your 
 membership you have nothing to worry about.  Everything is 'hunky-dory.’
 
 If you are reading this, or you know of somebody who wishes to avail 
 themselves of expert advice and list camaraderie, please ensure that the $30 
 membership is finalised by Thursday, 5 March.  Extra details are our website.
 
 Again, thanks to all those who have already supported a wonderful 
 organisation.
 
 2 AGM
 
 Many of you will be aware that over the last few years we have struggled to 
 get a quorum at out AGM.   According to our constitution we require 20% of 
 our membership or 15 members ( whichever is less) to be present at the AGM 
 if it is to be viable.  The actual AGM only takes about 10 minutes and 
 includes a summary from the committee, the election of office bearers and 
 the Treasurer’s report.
 
 This year we are trying something new in the hope that it will allow more 
 members to attend. Our AGM will be held at the Dome Cafe,  897 Albany 
 Highway East Victoria Park at 12:30 PM on Sunday 8th March. After the AGM 
 part, we invite  you will stay, order some lunch, chat  socialise.
 
 This is another chance to match faces to list names.  Family members and 
 significant others are welcome to attend but only paid up members can vote 
 at the AGM.
 
 So give yourself a break from the Sunday roast and come, socialise and vote.
 
 In order to provide Dome with the number of attendees, please email me off 
 list if you intend to come and if appropriate how many will be accompanying 
 you.  It would be appreciated if this information can be given by 6 PM on 
 Thursday, 5 March.
 
 
 3 COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
 
 A few weeks back we called for nominations for committee membership.  Again, 
 I ask if any person would be willing to join the committee and assist in 
 furthering the aims of WAMUG. It would be great to have some ‘new blood.’ 
 
 The current committee of Peter Hinchlife, Peter Botman, Peter Smith, Daniel 
 Kerr, Bernard Barnwell and yours truly, have all nominated for 2015.  
 However, another one or two members would help share the load and we would 
 feel less guilty when we have to miss meetings or need time off. 
 
 If you would like to give something back to WAMUG being on the committee 
 could be for you. it is not an onerous responsibility and as the old adage 
 goes  “Many hands make light work.”  If you have any queries about this feel 
 free to email me off list.
 
 
 Once again, thank you for all your interest and support. WAMUG only exists 
 because you the members contribute and so willingly share your interests and 
 knowledge.
 Hope to see many of you at the AGM.
 
 Cheers everyone,
 
 Maureen

Re: Wanting to buy an iPad

[Denise Williams]

Hi Susan
Thanks very much for your suggestions/comments.  I went to the Perth Apple 
store  asked the guy heaps of questions  decided, at this stage,  I only 
really needed a basic model so have bought a 16gb iPad mini for $349.   One of 
the reasons why I decided I didn't need to get a 32gb iPad was that with Daniel 
Kerr now selling La Cie hard drives that have wifi, I won't need to store much 
on the iPad. I will be sure to have movies stored on the wifi hard drive that I 
am buying from Daniel. 
BTW, the guys at the Apple store knew nothing about there being a wifi portable 
hard drive available. He was MOST INTERESTED  did a search on the the internet 
for the item. He said he'll have to tell everyone else in the Apple store!   So 
THANKS to Daniel for giving us this info'.
Thanks again
Denise williams

 Regarding whether this is a good price, you can still buy this model new at a 
 cost of $479 for a wifi and cellular model with 16gb HD. So, really it's up 
 to you if you feel that getting the 32gig version for a slightly cheaper 
 price is good value used.

 Hi Denise, with your other question, you purchase a SIM card specifically 
 for the ipad which is data only. I am with Telstra as it has the best 
 coverage for travelling about WA, but it's the most expensive. I buy a years 
 worth of access as it works out to be the best value.
 
 You can also just use it as a wifi device until you are going away somewhere 
 and buy enough access to cover your trip.
 
 Whilst overseas I buy local ipad SIMS so as not to pay roaming costs, same 
 as with mobile phones.

Can't download latest iPhone software, 7.1.2 to iPhone 5c

[Denise Williams]

Hi all
Everytime i connect my iPhone 5c to my iMac I get the following message:

A new iPhone software version (7.1.2) is available for the iPhone “Denise 
Williams’s iPhone”. Would you like to download it and update your iPhone now?
I then press OK
There are purchased items on the iPhone “Denise Williams’s iPhone” that have 
not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to 
your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to 
continue?
How do I know what these 'Purchased Items' are?   I would happily transfer 
these items if I knew what  they are and how to do it?

Any help much appreciated - clear  simple would be appreciated.

I have a 27 iMac, OS 10.7.5 . I have never setup a password on this computer 
so anyone can access it (simply by leaving the password box empty). I am about 
to go O/S (don't want anyone using it while I'm away)  would like to know is 
it as simple as just typing in a password in this box? Or do I set up the 
password another way. Silly question I know, but it's the simple things that 
can confuse us the most!!.

Re: iPhone4s is in Recovery Mode

[Denise Williams]

Hi Ronni
That's very thoughtful of you to ask me about my problem with recovery. I did 
have every intention of getting back to you - you know how it is!
The very sad news is that I had no success. I used a friend's PC but my phone 
didn't show up at all. I followed your instructions (thanks VM for them).
I couldn't see any other way to fix things so reluctantly agreed to the request 
on my phone to RESTORE, feeling very sad at the loss of all my gorgeous Hawaii 
photos.
Thank you very much for your guidance.

 Thanks for your reply - I can't believe that i may still have a chance of 
 recovering my photos. Having shown the phone to the Mac store  also to a 
 mobile phone repairer (who said he used a Windows computer to try  
 retrieve things), I thought there is no hope left. No one has pressed the 
 RESTORE option (at my instruction) so I will now find a Windows machine  
 try what you have said.  I'll keep you posted. I'm going to be VERY happy 
 if I can retrieve things. And YES, it's been a hard-earned lesson, knowing 
 I must do regular updates. I was actually doing downloads of my photos (not 
 backups) but was using old software as I had previously had a bad 
 experience when updating.

 Hello Denise,
 
 Always always backup your iDevices before updating or syncing!
 
 If your iPhone is still in Recovery Mode and you have gone ahead and 
 have 'NOT ' gone ahead and done the Restore.
 
 If you have a windows computer once you plug the phone into the computer 
 you should get a prompt message that asks you if you want to import photos 
 and videos. 
 Doing it that way you should be able to save photos and videos.
 As this way it has nothing to do with iTunes.
 
 Recovery mode does not mean that the phone is wiped, it has just locked 
 you out. Restoring the phone is what wipes it. 
 If the prompt message does not come up, go to the start menu and click on 
 computer, the device will show up along with the hard drive of the 
 computer. 
 Right Click on the device and you will have the option to import pictures 
 and videos. 
 This only works with Windows computer though.

 Hi All
 I've just returned from 10 glorious days in Hawaii and have some 
 fantastic photos from my holiday. I have always simply done a DOWNLOAD of

 for the past 2 years I've been too afraid to update my software on the 
 phone as the last time I did this I lost all my contacts on the phone 
 (we're talking pre-iCloud days, for me).
 While in Hawaii I went to the Mac store so as to put some photos on 
 Facebook. I was using one of their iPads and it wanted to update my 
 phone's software  I think it might have done this automatically. I then 
 tried to do the Facebook thing, trying to attach a couple of photos but 
 this was going to take HOURS! After 45mins I needed to disconnect 
 everything. (I did after all, have far better things to do with my time 
 at Waikiki Beach!).
 
 This then created a problem when I tried to download all my photos onto 
 my iMac at home. I kept getting error messages when trying to download  
 save the photos into a folder.
 
 I have now updated iTunes on my iMac to 11.0.4 and my iPhone to 6.1.4. 
 But because I've obviously waited too long to do all this (yes, I have 
 been ignoring the update requests!) I am now faced with an iPhone that 
 has gone into RECOVERY MODE. And of course it wants to reset everything 
 to factory mode meaning I lose all my photos! I would like to avoid this 
 if possible. Is there ANY chance I can recover my photos from the phone? 
 I did do a manually written backup of my contacts.
 I went to the City Mac store today  of course was told the bad news of 
 not being able to recover the photos.
 I am so annoyed at losing my lovely Hawaiian photos. I haven't agreed to 
 the Re-install request for my phone, yet, as I was hoping someone (a 
 magician??) in the WAMUG might be able to suggest a solution.
 
 Thanks for reading

Re: iPhone4s is in Recovery Mode

[Denise Williams]

Hi Ronni
Thanks for info regarding Drop Box. I will look into it, although I'd have to 
say, my recent problem with losing my Hawaii photos was not because I wasn't 
being diligent about backups (I always download my important photos onto my 
computer, when i'm home), but rather due to my misunderstanding of the 
importance of having the latest software updated onto my phone. My phone went 
into meltdown when I went to the Apple store in Honolulu to download a few 
photos, due to my not having downloaded the latest software (my reason for not 
doing this was that I had once done it  lost all my contacts).  
I was unwilling to download my photos (to Facebook) while we were cruising on 
the ship (at $1 a minute and VERY SLOW, I decided not to use the ship's 
internet service.)And because it had been a few years since I'd travelled 
overseas, I didn't realize I had to request 'ROAMING' on my iPhone from my 
phone service provider before leaving Aust. I had gone to the Vodaphone store 
to ask them about turning off auto downloads  the guy was very helpful BUT he 
didn't mention that I need to request roaming!   Consequently I had no internet 
or phone service on my phone. I did try and rectify this by using my husband's 
phone internet access but then I struck a problem when Vodaphone requested my 
password and I didn't have that with me (it is written down, in a secret spot 
at home!). 
It was one mini disaster after another.  I probably should have done a Google 
search for 'How to prepare your phone/camera for travelling overseas'.

To download things off my phone, I'm not sure whether to use Drop Box or 
iCloud? I have paid the $40 to get heaps of gigs with iCloud. Just need to now 
work out how to do it. It's all TIME TIME TIME. I don't enjoy the unrelenting 
frequency that technology keeps changing/updating. We all have busy, demanding 
lives that don't always involve easy access to technology so keeping our 
overloaded brains interested in it all is a big ask. Having said that, I am so 
grateful for WAMUG and all the wonderful contributors.
So thanks again for your help.

 Hello Denise,
 
 Unfortunately a very hard lesson is learnt... we are always reminding people 
 that you  MUST BACKUP data that is important to you!
 If people don't take our advise, that is their decision and there is nothing 
 more we can do.
 
 Losing photos at anytime is devastating, but to lose them by not having a 
 back up the photos you took on your holidays is really bad management.
 
 Don't you have Dropbox? 
 Dropbox has Camera Upload  on a Computer and also on a Mobile Device.
 If you don't have Dropbox you can use my Referral Link: 
 http://db.tt/CDbS9oC2
 
 If you join and install Dropbox on your computer, Dropbox gives us both 500 
 MB of bonus space - so you receive 2GB + 500MB  I receive 500MB added to my 
 storage.
 
 The mobile Dropbox apps for iOS and Android also support Camera Upload, 
 although it works a bit differently there than the desktop version.
 
 Camera Uploads and Free Storage Space:
 
 The first time you upload media using Camera Upload, Dropbox automatically 
 increases your storage quota by 500 MB. Thereafter, for every 500 MB of photo 
 and videos you upload, Dropbox adds another 500 MB to your quota, up to a 
 total of 3 GB. 
 Even if you later delete all that media from your Camera Uploads folder, the 
 extra storage space is yours to keep permanently.
 
 If you are interested and require details and how to use Camera Upload on a 
 Mobile Device post back and I can give instructions under another Subject 
 heading to WAMUG. Or you can email me direct at my support email address: 
 supp...@ronnibrown.net - but be aware my email support charge is $30 per 
 20mins work.

 Hi Ronni
 That's very thoughtful of you to ask me about my problem with recovery. I 
 did have every intention of getting back to you - you know how it is!
 The very sad news is that I had no success. I used a friend's PC but my 
 phone didn't show up at all. I followed your instructions (thanks VM for 
 them).
 I couldn't see any other way to fix things so reluctantly agreed to the

 Thank you very much for your guidance.

Hi Ronni

Thanks for your reply - I can't believe that i may still have a chance of 
recovering my photos. Having shown the phone to the Mac store  also to a 
mobile phone repairer (who said he used a Windows computer to try  retrieve 
things), I thought there is no hope left. No one has pressed the RESTORE option 
(at my instruction) so I will now find a Windows machine  try what you have 
said.  I'll keep you posted. I'm going to be VERY happy if I can retrieve 
things. And YES, it's been a hard-earned lesson, knowing I must do regular 
updates. I was actually doing downloads of my photos (not backups) but was 
using old software as I had previously had a bad experience when updating.
THANKS VM

 Hello Denise,
 
 Always always backup your iDevices before updating or syncing!
 
 If your iPhone is still in Recovery Mode and you have gone ahead and have 
 'NOT ' gone ahead and done the Restore.
 
 If you have a windows computer once you plug the phone into the computer you 
 should get a prompt message that asks you if you want to import photos and 
 videos. 
 Doing it that way you should be able to save photos and videos.
 As this way it has nothing to do with iTunes.

Paying membership fees

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I recently tried to post something on the WAMUG forum but it didn't show up in 
the email account I have for WAMUG postings and neither were any other emails 
showing (the last one I had was from mid July). 
I thought this would be due to my not having paid fees, which is fair enough.  
I do like to be a member and enjoy the Q  A's, esp from Ronni.  
To find out how to pay I simply Googled 'WAMUG' and on the home page is a link 
to 'JOIN'. it shows Bank details:   NAME : Western Australian Macintosh 
Users Group
BSB   : 306-075
Account  : 419778
I have now paid my $30 membership fee and am happy to see the emails arriving 
again.
Just thought I'd show the banking details to those who are unsure how to pay.
Keep up the great work everyone.

Ejecting a CD

[Denise Williams]

HI ALL
I have just received a call from a friend of mine (who has Parkinsons
Disease so has trouble relaying exact details) who put a CD into her G4
Macbook Pro, UPSIDE DOWN.
Yes, she had the silver side showing up.
All I can ascertain about the laptop is that it is a G4 but does not have an
Intel processor. Using OSX but not sure which version.

Can anyone help me please in a suggestion as to how to get the CD out.
Apparently it is set to use F12 to eject and I asked her to hold Option+F12
but nothing happened.
Any help greatly appreciated

Wireless/Airport network on iMac faulty?

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
Firstly, thanks to Jane  Rhonda for their advice RE unlocking my iphone for
USA - all is on track there (after spending over 2 hours waiting on a call
to 3 - no info' about unlocking an iphone is on their web page).

Anyway I STILL have a big problem with my wireless network on my iMac
(thanks Bob Howells for your email).
I have had to buy a new modem (broke aerial on last one). Tried a new Dlink
 a new Netgear, both the latest. No luck with them.
Have been using my neighbour's modem with an ethernet cable and all goes
well.
Problems start as soon as I want to go wireless.
Current situation:
Received new BOB wireless modem from iinet this morning. Went through ALL
the instructions with very helpful guy at iinet. Once again, all works well
with ethernet cable. We then unplugged that and after trying for an hour,
using every config avail, to get the wireless in my iMac to automatically
connect, we then had to go MANUAL connect, using all the numbers he provided
to me. Hey VOILA I have Safari and Entourage working and all looks good.
EXCEPT when I want to go further than the first 2 pages of a web site. I can
view my accounts on say ANZ, but when I want to transfer money between
accounts, nothing happens when I press 'CONFIRM'. The page isn't frozen, but
I can't go forward. I also can't send emails but I can receive them. (I'll
have to plug my mac into neighbour's modem to send this email).

IiNet seem to think it's a problem with my Mac's wireless setup. I have an
iMac using OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.3. What could be wrong with my wireless
network?
When I go to the little signal icon, top right of screen, and look at
airport, it says it is ON. When I go to Network Preferences it says AIRPORT
ON. So I'm able to open web pages but can't keep going further with them.
I'm tearing my hair out. Have spent at least 20hours trying to fix all this.

I know my system has a lot of fonts all over the place (unfortunately I
don't use a font management programme and I know I should). Could this be
causing a problem? I will happily get someone to come and fix things but I
fly to USA on Wed so that will have to wait. But I'd like to have things
running properly while I'm away. ANY advice welcomed - thanks all - you're a
great bunch of 'nerds'!!! Where would I be without you.
TIA

Programme to download info from iphone?

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I'm heading to USA next week and want to unlock my iphone 3 so that I can
put in a USA sim card. But I need to firstly download all my contacts, apps
etc (have already done the music) onto my
Mac. Then when phone is unlocked, I'll put it all back on.
Did a Google searcgh and one suggestion is to buy an app called PhoneView.
I've just tried the demo version and it seems to work OK but obviously the
demo version is limited.
It's only about $20 to buy - is this necessary or are there other apps that
are free? 

TIA

Flaky Modem -D Link DSL2730B

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
Imac   Mac OS 10.5.8  Safari: v5.0.3   Email: Entourage 2004

About 6 weeks ago I needed to buy a new WiFi Modem/Router so purchased the D
Link 2730B from Dick Smith.
Have had nothing but problems - many hours on phone with iinet (VERY
helpful) and finally with D Link. We put in patches, I updated Safari,
deleted cookies but still my internet connection is flaky. Right now I can
access Safari but cannot send an email. I believe it's something to do with
security. There are times when I can access my bank account stuff but when I
try to transfer funds, nothing happens.
Has anyone got any comments on the D Link modems? My previous modem was a
Netgear one which worked beautifully but the aerial broke off.
I'm about to take this new modem back to Dick Smith but would firstly like
to know of other's experience.
Thanks v m.

Re: improving jpg resolution

[Denise Williams]

Hi Chris
Have you tried the Filters in Photoshop? When you have the drop down menu of
filters go to Sharpen and then depending on your version of Photoshop you'll
have a few choices of the type of sharpening available. Best to use Unsharp
Mask. Remember to keep the radius to no more than 2.5 and the threshold to
0.

Hope this helps

Denise Williams
 
 Aperture and Graphic Converter have image sharpeners. Of course, there are
 strict limits which depend upon the sharpness of the original image.

Re: Financial Advice from the Storm warning about buying a car

[Denise Williams]

 Hi All
 Thanks for forwarding this about SYNERGY rebate.
 We were out for more than 12 hours so I tried to submit my claim but at the
 end of putting in all my details, the email that should have gone through, via
 their web page, failed. I also needed a username and password.
 Might try again later - $80 is $80, after all!
 And on another issue. If anyone is thinking of grabbing a bargain at the car
 yards BEWARE of not being able to get insurance coverage. Our insurer won¹t
 even give THIRD PARTY insurance to a car that has ANY damage. Not happy. So
 our son is driving around without ANY insurance (we thought he had 3rd party
 but on investigation, find he hasn¹t). His car resembles a golf ball¹s
 surface, having been parked at UWA. They may give  you 3rd party if you swap
 your existing policy onto another car.
 
 Cheers

 I received the text below from what I believe to be a reliable source
 I do not have a claim but others may be interested to know of this

 I hope you have survived the storm and enjoy the new speed dimples your car

 Hi all
 
 Sorry if this has been covered before - can't seem to hit the right
 search words in the archive. My wife needs to buy Quarkxpress for her
 - voluntary - design work for a society. She thought of buying via
 friends in the US rather than squandering nearly double the amount
 here in Australia. The trouble is, I have a feeling that when you
 'activate' the programme it tells Quark where you are in the world
 and won't let you do so. And there are no refunds!
 
 Anyone had any experience?
 
 many thanks

Photo Slideshow PLUS movie footage

[Denise Williams]

Hi All, esp Ronni  Marlene
MY Specs - iMac Intel Core Duo, 2 gig ram, 51 gig avail space on hard drive,
OS 10.5.8.  I have iLife 06 (hopefully I won't need to upgrade to 09 as I'm
not after face recognition and lots of bells  whistles)

I have been reading with great interest, all the postings on creating
slideshows and now that I have finally started to produce the real thing, I
am trying to get my head around all the postings. But I also want my
production to be a Slideshow COMBINED WITH Movie clips. (Marlene has shown
me one her husband created so I know it can be done).
To date I have scanned several hundred baby/childhood photos (from negs) and
they are all sitting in a folder on my desktop, as JPGs, Adobe RGB colour
space, and open up to a 3meg file. They are all named Ryan Baby 01, Ryan
Baby 02 etc.
But my immediate query is to do with transferring the VHS movie footage onto
my desktop. I have about 40 hours worth of movies on VHS tapes (obviously I
will only want to use about 10 mins worth in my final production). I have
bought a little apparatus from JB Hi Fi called Video to DVD maker by
kaiserbaas. The software is called Empia Capture. I also had to upgrade
Graphic Converter to v 6. I have successfully transferred one VHS video into
a folder on my desktop but before I do ALL the others, I would love to know
what settings I should be using. I have read your posting Ronni, from March
1st and understand that the settings you refer to are for exporting a
project from iPhoto to iDVD.

Ronni's posting 1/3/10:
In Create A Visually Impressive Saved Slideshow In iPhoto¹09 I explain
how to create a saved slideshow and how to setup the slideshow settings,
configure slideshow settings, configure the Ken Burns effect, and export
your Slideshow.
I explain my preferred Export settings for achieving the Highest Quality DVD
of your Slideshow, which is using Compression Type: Apple Intermediate
Codec.
You might find other export settings work better for you.
Below are the experiments I carried out. My findings were: Both resulted in
smooth video  Audio playback  high quality DVD, but I felt the AIC was
slightly better quality than DV-PAL. Possibly because the dimensions were
AIC 1064 x 800 pixels versus the DV-PAL size of 768 x 576 pixels.


I have Compression options with Empia and so far have just gone None. Should
I use Apple Intermed Codec? I am also asked for a preset and choices of HDV
720p, HDV 1080i or Other. I have used Other I have kept the frames per
second at Best.

And finally, do I really need to use iPhoto? Can I just create the whole
slideshow/movie combination in iMovie or iDVD? I'd prefer not to use iPhoto,
unless perhaps the newer version is more intelligent than v6.

Also, Ronni I only recently tried to open your PDF with the password you
sent me (THANKS VM) but I had no luck. And how do I make a financial
contribution to you for all your wonderful help?

Thanks again - I'll be off to the library this afternoon to see if there is
a book on iLife 06. (Marlene, I haven't managed to buy anything from the
States yet but will do).

New EPSON printer says it's OFFLINE

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I've just had to go and buy a new printer as my 2 Epsons have recently
decided to die. (I reckon they're defaulted to die at 3years of age!)

I am on my iMac with OS 10.5.8. I have just gone through all the hoops to
install my new Epson Stylus Photo TX810FW. I used the enclosed CD and all
went well - I received the 'Installation Successful' message. It is a
wireless model.

I have checked under System Preferences, Network and am told STATUS -
Connected and it shows the name of my wireless connection. I have printing
sharing ON.

But now when I go to print something from my Mac, I get a message saying
'Printer is currently Offline'. The power is on. I'm also getting a spinning
wheel regarding ink levels. The wheel won't stop so I don't get to see ink
levels anyway. I've put in all 6 of the new cartridges that came with the
printer.

I have been able to use the printer as a copier.

I need to print off boarding passes for a flight at 6am tomorrow morning
HELP!

TIA

Suggested topic for Next meeting

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
Thanks Peter for your request for topics for the next meeting. I have been
following with considerable, but confused interest, the postings to help
Laura with a slideshow.
I would love to be able to do simple slideshows but because I don't use
iPhoto (all my photos are edited and stored using Bridge  Photoshop), I
would love a bit of assistance/demo in knowing how to get a slideshow
together that can be viewed on someone's TV. Fortunately I do know how to
set up the music track in Garageband, shortening the tracks where necessary.

If there is someone willing to demo this at the next meeting, could they
please let us know beforehand which programmes and versions of same, they
would be using so that I can make myself familiar with them before the
meeting. I would also print out all of Ronni's postings regarding slideshows
and bring them to the meeting, as there are heaps of bits I don't
understand!! But of course I would be mindful to not use too much time with
questions from them.
Much appreciated

 The WAMUG Committee had its first meeting for the year last night - and
 suffered the User Group Committee's version of Writer's Block!
 
 We really struggled to come up with something interesting or challenging in
 the way of topics for February's General Meeting. The few ideas we did come up
 with were generally considered too weak to be of interes, with the obvious
 exception of a discussion about the outcome of Apple's January 27th event: and
 of course, we have no idea what that might be.
 
 So we decided to throw it open for discussion to you, the members. All we need
 is a short list of topics that you are interested in. This will be shortened
 to three four for the night, depending on the complexity of the topics
 suggested. 
 
 We'll need to set a deadline for this, so we'll say next 9:00 pm next Tuesday
 (26th January). This will give us time to allow Pete Smith to prepare his
 regular meeting announcement, and give  those of who are able to present the
 material time to research and prepare.
 
 BTW - this offer is always open for any meeting. Some topics come up from time
 to time which simply present themselves, but suggestions from the WAMUG Body
 are always welcome.

Emails show time 3hrs behind

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I'm using Entourage for my emails and I've been told by a recipient that the
time I sent an email is 3 hours BEFORE. Ie I sent an email this morning at
8am and he said it showed as sent at 5am. But his computer showed it being
received at 8am so his clock is right. My iMac shows the correct time in my
top right hand panel so is there another clock within Entourage?

Re: Emails show time 3hrs behind

Hi Glen
Yes I was thinking the same thing except that I'd say it's going via India
or somewhere that is BEHIND Perth time by 3 hrs - Our East is 3 hrs ahead so
it would have said 11am.
Just a bit confusing for my recipients. BTW what time does it say this email

Hi All
Thanks very much everyone for all your input into my query. Esp to Ronni,
Matthew, Peter, Susan and David.
 I'm going to suggest to the people who asked me about iPhoto duplicates, to
use the archives on the WAMUG site (as everyone has kindly suggested) but I
decided to try that way for myself first, just to see how it actually works
(sorry WAMUGERS, but by just saying 'refer to WAMUG archives' doesn't
necessarily help people). Ie I tried doing just that and had no success on
the Home Page when I typed in 'iPhoto duplicates' in the Search Box, under
the Archives area. Even just typing 'iphoto' came up with zilch. Am I doing
something wrong?
I then decided to read about memberships. So from the home page I went to
'Join' and then got onto 'Mailing List' and under 'Archive' it says 'The
complete mailing list archive is available here' and voila, the next page
that comes up is headed 'messages by thread' and yes, it is possible to then
type 'iPhoto duplicates' in the search box. That was great. Bit of a
convoluted way of getting to what I want. So I won't tell people to just go
to 'archives'- it doesn't work. I will direct them to MESSAGES BY THREAD.
Unless of course anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Alternatively, I will do as suggested, and cut  paste the relevant
information so that no email addresses are forwarded (thanks for that
suggestion, I hadn't thought of the consequences of forwarding).
So THANKS again to all - and at least I have now learnt how to do a search
on the WAMUG site!

Permission to forward WAMUG emails

Hi all - but mainly the Committee

I was at the iinet Open Day yesterday, in Subiaco. Just to catch up on some
stuff about Bob plus they did a 'Get the most from your Mac' information
session. Nothing very intense and this was then followed by a brief Q  A

My question now is, do I have permission to forward some recent emails
addressing so many problems with iPhoto to 4 people who gave me their email
addresses? I found the emails that Ronni sent, to Peta, about iPhoto's
libraries, very helpful. These people also intended to look up WAMUG on the
web, and said they would be interested in joining.

Putting an iTunes song on my iPhone

[Denise Williams]

Hi  all
I'm a newbie to the iPhone and I know I'm supposed to be able to download
songs from iTunes onto my phone, using Bluetooth.
I've selected the Bluetooth icon on the very top of my iMac screen. It says
Bluetooth is on but then another window comes up saying
   Denise Williams's iMac is the name Bluetooth devices use to connect
to this computer. 

Then the 2 boxes underneath that are both ticked ie On is ticked and so is
Discoverable. But then under that is a small picture of an iPhone and it
says 'Denise Williams's iPhone not connected - it shows a small red dot.
On the right side of this window it says
Type   Handsfree
Services   Handsfree Gateway
Paired No
Connected  No

I've checked the iPhone settings - General - Bluetooth and it shows as ON.
It also shows a spinning wheel under Devices and constantly searches for
something? Under that it says 'Now Discoverable' I have the iPhone sitting
next to the computer.

I am on an iMac with 10.5.8

All this effort has used so much of my valuable time, just so that I can put
a song or two on my iPhone!! Technology is for the nerds!
 
So are there any 'nerds' able to help me - I say that with the greatest
respect!

PROBLEM SOLVED Sorting Photos by Orientation

[Denise Williams]

Hi Ronni and WAmuggers

I decided to have another look around the options in Bridge - and VOILA, yes
I found the Filter - Orientation down on the left side of my window. Thank
You!   I had been using the drop down menus along the top and there were no
words  'Filter' or 'Orientation' up there. I would have thought those word
options should have been available in Sort 
When doing a word search in Help, and typing the word 'Filter', I got
something called Filter Panel and didn't realize that would be where to go.
It always pays to think outside the square when doing searches.

Thanks again

Sorting Photos by Orientation

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
Just wondering if any Photoshop/Bridge/Aperture enthusiasts can help me with
sorting photos. I'd like to sort a whole folder of photos by
Landscape/Portrait orientation. I have Bridge (CS4) and have tried sorting
by Dimensions  Size (wasn't very hopeful of these working) and had no luck.
I don't have Aperture so would like to know if this option is available
there? Or any other suggestions? Don't want to sort 1200 photos manually!

Cookies Javascript - on or off?

[Denise Williams]

 Hi All
Firstly, thanks to Bob Howells and Ronni for your help with my downloading
Camera raws by time that photo was taken. I was taking the options in Bridge
too literally ie Sort by Date. I assumed this was ONLY by date and did not
include Time. Der Thanks - all is good now.

My new query is to do with accessing Student Connect at UWA. My daughter
wishes to check her online application. We get to the fist step but it says
we may have javascript  cookies blocked. It then allows us to check whether
this is so - which we have done and were told NO we don't have them blocked.
Apparently a new window should then open but we get nothing. Can someone
please tell me how to check my cookies etc? I have gone to System
Preferences - Security,  but can't see them there. Any help gratefully
appreciated.


This is the message on the UWA site:

If the window does not appear, please ensure that your browser has

Sort photos by time shot using Bridge

[Denise Williams]

Hi to any Photoshop gurus,
I am using Photoshop CS4, and download (RAW format)  and rename and sort
photos using Bridge. When I do a wedding or family shoot I always have 2
cameras on the go. My problem is that I want to integrate both sets BY
ACTUAL TIME OF DAY the photos were taken so that they blend, as per the
order of the day's events. I see in Bridge I only have the option to sort by
date (and other non useful options). Am I asking too much?

I guess I should get on to Google and type in my problem but thought I'd
check with our wonderful WAMUG brain tank first!

Re: Converting to CMYK in Photoshop CS4

[Denise Williams]

Hi all.

Well I just seemed to have been able to resolve my own problem. It seems in
CS4 that you have to make the extra selection in the drop down menu in Mode
and request to 'show all menu items'. Never had to do this in CS3.
Oh well - live  learn!
Thanks for looking at my request.

  Hi to any Photoshop users.
 I have always been able to convert a PSD file from RGB to CMYK, when I used
 CS3 but now that I'm using CS4, I can't do this. I was always able to go to
 Mode and then drop down to CMYK. That option is not there for me now.
 I have gone into Colour Settings and turned off all 3 boxes in Colour
 Management Policies. The boxes above this which show type of RGB and type of
 CMYK show CMYK as U.S. Web coated (SWOP) v2 which I have used in the past. I
 can't understand why the CMYK option is not under Mode.
 
 I'm on an iMac Intel core duo.
 I've done a Google search and it just tells me to go to Colour Settings,
 which of course I've done but then what??
 
 TIA

How to get out of Leopard installation process

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I am trying to install Leopard X.5.1 on my iMac (intel, dual core) but
didn't realize, before starting the installation process, that I actually
didn't have enough free space (need 9gig and only have 2.6). I am now
writing this email from my Macbook Pro (thanks Daniel - it's a beauty!) as I
can't go anywhere on my iMac. I have navigated my way back to the first
screen that is viewed when loading the Leopard CD, which is the screen where
you select language. But there's no more back buttons so how do I get rid of
this screen?? I've tried command+option+esc and command+q to no avail. I
need to get out of this window so that I can get back into OS X 4.11 and
free up some disc space (no probs, as I have an external HD with 1
terabyte). Help please!
TIA

Re: How to get out of Leopard installation process

[Denise Williams]

Hi Robert et al
Thanks vm for your help. Boy have I had a huge learning exp tonight!
Basically my problems all started
 after going to Digilife today, in Osb Pak. I bought iWorks 09 and asked
whether my OS (X4.4.) was suitable to run it. No it isn't so I told the guy
I had a Cd of Leopard that I was too afraid to install as I'd been told I
should do a backup first. Having never done that I decided to wait until I
could get some help in installing Leopard. But the guy at Digilife assured
me it was a cinch to do, just don't format or delete all. Just follow the
prompts and all is fine!!!
Yeah sure!  What he didn't tell me was to be sure I had enough free disk
space to install Leopard, which requires about 10gig. I had 2.6gig spare. So
evrything seized up - Daniel helped me greatly (after a frantic phone call
to him as I didn't even have WAMUG's email address, on my laptop). He
managed to get me out of the screen I had and got me to restart, holding
Option, which looked promising. But the iMac still wanted to use the Leopard
CD to boot from. Several tries but no, it was the same each time.
Not wanting to trouble Daniel again (and not a lot of WAMUGGERS around,
except for Rob H, but then it is Friday drinks time!) I eventually phoned
Applecare, for the first time in 3 yrs. All's well now, I hope, having
learnt how to Boot up in Target disk mode etc etc. The laptap is now
grinding through 223gig of stuff from the iMac, and has fortunately 'found'
the ext hard drive I have, with 1 terabyte. I assume it has found it
wirelessly as I could't hook the ext hard drive to the laptop AND have the
firewire cable,from the iMac, connected to the laptop as well. My God, this
is all too much for this old baby boomer. Thank goodness for WAMUG (esp
Daniel) and for Applecare and thumbs down to Digilife, who BTW have never
heard of WAMUG.

I'm now going to chill out and leave the machines to grind away - for 8
hours. 


Thanks again WAMUG

Denise Williams

 Hi Denise ,
 
 How far did the installation process go ?
 
 Did it actually start installing ?  and as a consequence destroy your
 tiger instal  ?
 
 If not
 
 failing all else you can power down ...
 if there's a power button on the imac push and hold  it will after
 time shut down
 or
 switch the switch off at the wall .
 
 Whichever way you power it down ,
 when you power on push and hold the option key
 
 and eventually it hopefully will show you your Leopard disc AND
 your Tiger instal
 
 arrow to the Tiger and enter .
 
 Hope this gets you going because if you have to use the Tiger Instal
 Disc
 to get going there might be some roadblocks .
 
 For later , you might consider making a smallish partition on your
 external drive
 to instal anbarebones OSX system on so that you can start up from that
 to
 fix the imac or your laptop

Re: How to get out of Leopard installation process- thoughts, ...

[Denise Williams]

Hi Daniel
Thank you for your concern - it's very comforting for those of us who don't
quite understand how all the hardware fits together.
Yes I agree about backup and I actually have most of my client photos on CDs
but not in any easily found order. The thought of losing all the other
personal stuff was my main concern, and some of my recent client work.
I need to learn how Time Machine works - another day perhaps. Right now I'm
so pleased that I have my lovely MacBook pro and that the 2 computers are
talking to each other. So far 70gig  has transferred. 5 hours to go!
I have dragged EVERYTHING from the iMac (including Applications, Library,
Users, Developer, System  Automount). I'm assuming, once I have
successfully installed Leopard on the iMac and my transfer has finished,
that I just have to pull all that stuff off the ext hard drive and drop it
onto the iMac?
Any suggestions - tomorrow, would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks again
Denise Williams

 Hi Denise
 
 Just following on from this,..some of this worries me a little, sitting back
 and thinking about it a bit more.
 
 OK, first off. Good that it's copying over to an external drive for a
 backup. AS always before anything major, or even just for safety
 sake,..everyone should always have a backup. ALWAYS.
 
 As an aside, the number of calls I've had the last 2 weeks for data recovery
 for drives is a worry. Most from Windows users. And you ask where there is
 backup and get the blank look. Backup?
 Without going off topic too much,...I saw it put well the other day. If you
 think that for each photo or picture you have, it's worth $1 of your time.
 Only $1. And most people will have say at least 1000 photo's. If you lost
 all of that and could never get it back. That's a monetary value of $1000.
 (Of course you can't really put a value on some photos you could never get
 again if they got lost.).
 Compare this with the price of one external Hard Drive. As an example, a
 Western Digital quad interface (FW400,FW800, USB2, eSATA) 1TB drive retails
 around $299. (yes, I know the other thread was about problems with
 them,..I'm just using it as an example).
 Anyway,..you can see my point hopefully. ;o)
 
 OK,..sorry. Back to my thinking at hand
 
 
 I'm curious Denise as to the next steps that you've been advised to do. Just
 wanted to see what's going to happen before you head off and do anything
 else.
 (I'm not querying or second guessing Applecare at all,..I'm really just
 interested to see what they've advised you to do, before doing it, as I'd
 hate to see anything get worse from here.)
 At least it's all on the backup drive once it's finished.
 
 Kind Regards
 Daniel

Re: Renumber digital photos

I use Adobe 'Bridge' part of the Photoshop CS program but there are other

Good luck - and I'd have to say, as a professional photographer, just how

Buying a 2nd hand iPhone

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
Firstly, thanks to Peter and the rest of the committee for your time at the
meeting tonight. I always learn something - whether I need to know it is
another matter but every bit of Mac related stuff is great to witness.

I would like to buy an iPhone  wondered whether second hand is a good way
to go. Had a quick look on eBay and can't work out the difference between an
unlocked phone and a legally unlocked phone. And what does 'no turbo sim and
no jailbreak' mean?? I am with the 3 network.

her a version at 72ppi and one at 120ppi but same problem with both. I've
kept the canvas size to A4, just in case someone wanted to print out her

pretty short.

Importing movie files into itunes

Audio component of movie to MP3

[Denise Williams]

Hi all, 

I recently downloaded some podcasts to my itunes, but they're in the movie
format. I want to sync them onto my ipod, but it's not as advanced and
doesn't have the capability to hold movies. However, it would be fine if
they were just stored as audio tracks, as they are just tutorials and the
visual movie side isn't completely necessary. So is there anyway of
converting the audio component of the movie to a normal music track?

Cheers, 

Denise.

 Hi Michael,
 
 I agree with Philippe, definitely max your RAM.
 Especially With Snow Leopard due for release in early 2009.
 
 To accommodate the enormous amounts of memory being added to advanced
 hardware, Snow Leopard extends the 64-bit technology in Mac OS X to
 support breakthrough amounts of RAM —up to a theoretical 16TB, or 500
 times more than what is possible today.
 More RAM makes applications run faster, because more of their data can
 be kept in the very fast physical RAM instead of on the much slower
 hard disk.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Batch save Raws to tiffs

[Denise Williams]

Hi Ian
THANK you VERY much for your help - it worked a treat. Obviously the trick
was to use the selection, 'Image Processor'!

Regards  Thanks

Denise Williams - Photographer
 


Gday Denise,
 
 There a couple of ways to achieve a batch conversion in Bridge to
 change file type without the need to create an Action (which you can
 do but it is a little more complex)
 
 One fairly easy method: Open the folder containing the images in
 Bridge.  I prefer the Default Workspace (Comd + F1) select the
 desired images, go under the Tools menu to Photoshop to Image
 Processor which will open a dialogue box that will provide you with a
 number of options.
 eg: File type, size, destination folder etc.  Tick or fill in the
 appropriate boxes, click 'Run' and Bridge will do all the work for
 you and place your new TIFF images in the folder you designate.
 
 This method creates new files and leaves your Camera RAW files unaltered.
 
 Cheers
 Ian

Batch save Raws to tiffs

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
This question is more directed to photographers.
I have just installed Photoshop CS3 and of course, Bridge. I am familiar
with creating actions in PSD, as a Batch Action.
I am having trouble creating a batch action that will convert my Camera Raws
to tiffs.
Bridge doesn't seem to have the capability of creating actions and then when
I VIEW a Raw file in PSD (it doesn't actually OPEN in PSD), I am unable to
see anything in the drop down menu that normally allows me to create an
action. After looking up HELP in Bridge, they just say to go to Tools then
Photoshop/Batch (in the drop down menu). That's fine except that I haven't
been able to create the action in the first place because I simply can't
open a RAW in PSD. 
I'm sure I'm missing something trivial here! Any help greatly appreciated
otherwise I'll have to go back to using the Canon software.

Converting into mp3

Hi all, 

I want to add music files to a powerpoint presentation but am having

Garageband so that they are only snippets of the songs, however I've noticed
that when the songs are exported to itunes they are in the MPEG4 format
instead of MP3 format, and this is the reason why I can't insert them in
powerpoint as they need to be MP3 files. Does anyone know how to convert

Photoshop action to simulate 'Glow' in Photobooth

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I regularly use Actions in Photoshop (v8) but have been unable to find one
that resembles the GLOW effect available in Photobooth. It is an effect that
not only creates glow but also seems to add contrast, saturation and a
pulling of the histogram to the right (dark tones made darker). I have a
client who wants some large posters made from their photos with an effect
just like this. I could try experimenting and create my own Action but just
thought I'd try the wonderful web of creative brain available in our forum!
Does anyone know if there is a downloadable Action for this effect?

Conversation: PC people can't receive my JPGs
Subject: Re: PC people can't receive my JPGs

Hi Alexia and others
Yes they receive them but they get an error message, something about an
unreliable source. I'm saving them in Photoshop CS2, with the extension
.JPG. I'm sending them as an attachment from Entourage.
Thanks for help so far!

  Hi Denise,
 
 When you say can't receive them do you mean that they can't open them?
 Do they have any sort of error messages when they try?

FW: PC people can't receive my JPGs

[Denise Williams]

Hi Chris
Thanks for your reply. I have gone to 'Edit' while in Entourage but the drop
down menu doesn't then give me 'Attachments'. I like the sound of your
solution but can you give me more detailed help ie do you mean while using
Entourage, to go to 'Edit'?
Thanks very much - I'd really like to get this solved as it's most
frustrating, as a photographer, to go to all the trouble of saving my large
tiffs down to small JPGs for sending as attachments, only to find people
can't open them. It doesn't always happen which is even more frustrating!

Thanks again

 Hi Denise,
 
 I had the same problem for a while.
 
 If you go to Edit/Attachments and tick both 'Send Windows-Friendly
 Attachments' and 'Insert attachments at the end of message' you
 shouldn't have any more problems.

Re: PC people can't receive my JPGs

[Denise Williams]

Hi Maureen
Thanks for your suggestion - but yes, I already have 'Any computer' checked.
BTW, this is the error message received by my Windows person today, who
couldn't open my JPGs but who can normally open picture files as
attachments:

'MessageLabs Skyscan AP Alert Notification

MessageLabs Skyscan AP has identified a suspect file attachment within
an email sent to you. Please contact your IT administrator for further
information.'

I've also sent JPGs to my husband at work and he sometimes gets a little
preview square with a cross through the middle of it and can't open them.
I'll keep trying to investigate this further. I guess I could try the
suggestion of opening the JPG in Preview (after Saving As JPG in Photoshop)
and then doing another Save As while in Preview. Bit time consuming and a
little annoying. 
Thanks to everyone for their help

Iphoto - idon't like!

[Denise Williams]

Hi Wamuggers
Greetings to all, had hoped to get to the  Xmas barbie but life got too
busy!

I'm not an iPhoto user (can't stand the fact it let's you save duplicate
files in the same folder) but I'm forced to use it for a slide show.
Two Questions: (using iPhoto v6.O.5)
Q1   I have a lot of files in the iPhoto library that are showing as a blank
image ie just a blank marquee with an exclamation mark in the middle of
grey. This comes up  when I double click on the small preview photo across
the top of screen - it comes up as this blank thing  I can't get rid of it.
Have to quit iPhoto. All photos are JPGs around 400kb.

Q2  If by some miracle I'm able to produce a slide show, can I somehow save
it so that I can view it on a TV screen, ie burn to DVD and put in DVD
player connected to plasma TV? Would love to also be able to save a slide
show that can be viewed by those on the dark side!

Thanks in advance for all help - greatly appreciated.

Can't transfer Write Protected photos

[Denise Williams]

Hi all -esp photographers,
I recently went to take a series of photos of my niece's new baby but found
I had no card in my Canon SLR camera so borrowed her SD card and took a heap
of photos using my camera. I made sure I wasn't taking RAWS, just JPGs but
now find I can't transfer the photos to my iMac. All the photos are visible
when previewing on my camera (and other cameras) but when I initially put
the SD card into my camera, I get the message card 2, write protected. I
can't take another photo or do anything, except view using Preview. My card
reader is only for Flash cards so I've hooked the camera directly to the
iMac and gone through all the usual steps to download from the camera, but
nothing shows. I then tried PhotoRescue (which I've used before for a
different reason) but it can't find the card either.
Help please! Is there ANY way to download 'write protected photos'? I
definitely didn't choose this option from my camera's menu either (I can
take photos when a Flash card is inserted).
TIA

Re: Can't transfer Write Protected photos

Nick has pointed out the obvious to me! Yes the SD card did have the locking
switch on!! As I only ever use Flash Cards, I wasn't aware of this locking
facility.
So on we go - after only wasting 3 hours today,trying to download!
All is successfully downloaded now.
Damn technology!

 Denise,
 
 I use an SD card in my Palm and mine is a sandisk 512 Mbyte. It has a
 lock switch down the left hand side. When locked the contents is
 locked. this may be what is causing the problem. Just check and see.
 I always thought it was read only but it may be causing problems. It
 is a slim possibility.
 
 Alternately you have a protection problem - try get info when the
 disk is mounted (which happens when iphoto sees the camera)  to
 desktop and look at a file. Maybe you could also drag them to the
 desktop.

Re: Skype phone

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I've been reading with interest, the posts about VOIP and Skype. I haven't
gone that way, yet, as I don't fully understand how it works (I know I need
to pay extra to my ISP to have VOIP) and if I do go with it, can it be used
to make calls to mobiles? I don't need to make many STD or Internat.calls
but our phone bill to mobiles is about $120 month (we're with Telstra for
local/STD/mobile calls and my ISP is iinet.) I have a cap of $1.70 for 20
minute ISD/mobile calls but most of my mobile calls are for 1 to 3 minutes
and cost about $1ea. I assume that when using VOIP, our landline is still
active, meaning two people in our house can be having phone conversations,
without using a mobile? I see Nathalie has a cap of $60 a month - please
tell me more! Does this include local calls?
I might be able to ditch Telstra, if any responses can enlighten me. And how
much is to buy Skype, or similar?
TIA  

Denise Williams-Photographer

 Hi All:
 
 I can vouch for Keyspan as well--although one issue I have noticed is that it
 takes AAA batteries. If you are OK with using the batteries to make calls then
 that is great; but factor the cost of the batteries into the overall cost of
 Skype.
 
 I call the USA for hours every week and I find that i can have a cap on my
 phone calls on a regular phone of $60 per month. This makes my regular phone
 cheaper than Skype!
 
 And when people from the USA call me, Skype charges for Australia are either
 the same as or worse than some of the good deals on telcos there.
 
 So don't assume you are getting a great deal because you are using VOIP.
 
 Regards,
 Nathalie

Running OS9.2 on a G4 and opening PSD v7.
I recently saw a posting that gave the shortcut for capturing  printing the
screen. I think it's just a case of pressing Option plus an F key. I want to
capture the surrounding tools (in Photoshop) as an image. Have tried them
all while holding Option but no joy.
TIA

Re: Printing screen capture

[Denise Williams]

Thank you to Yvonne, Roger  Robert. I've pressed Apple+ Shift + 3 and yes I
hear a little camera shutter noise but now what? Where is the image I want?
Opened a new PSD file and tried to paste but nothing happened.
TIA

A Photoshop Query

[Denise Williams]

To Photoshop users
I have been helping a friend with Photoshop CS2 on her PC and there is one
annoying problem. The marquee tool (top left) has the usual drop downs of a
Square/Rectangular marquee, Round/oval marquee etc but when we go to use the
Square/Rectangular one, it only comes up as what appears to be a feathered
oval. I've tried holding Shift while using Square marquee and also putting
Feathering on 1 pixel only but still the same oval shape comes up.
Another problem too, is that I went to Preferences - Units  Rulers so as to
do some accurate positioning, rebooted but no rulers showed up. Should I do
a Photoshop - Delete Preferences in her hard drive? (not sure how to on a
PC).
Any clues would be greatly appreciated -  and yes I've told her she needs a
Mac!
Thanks

Photoshop on new Intel Macs

[Denise Williams]

Hi Graphics people
I've heard a rumour that Photoshop doesn't run as well as it should , on the
new Intel processor Macs. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
I mainly use Photoshop and am thinking of buying the new Mac.

Can't eject CD from iMac

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
My daughter has a G3 iMac 400 with DVD player, and she has a CD stuck in it.
We've tried all the usuals - rebooting with mouse button held down,
re-booting with Option held down, pressing Command E but no luck. There is
no CD icon showing and the trash is empty. Is there a secret little button
somewhere that we can press? Have reluctantly tried putting a pair of
tweezers in but don't want to do this again as I couldn't feel the CD.
We know there is something stuck in there as the machine makes a whining
noise on startup.
TIA

IE6 for OS9

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I see that there is mention of IE not being supported for OSX after end of
Jan. but can I still get IE6 for OS9.2.2?
I foolishly went and paid money to sign up with FreeDownloadZone.com but
they don't seem to support Macs. Their download for IE6 is a .exe file.
TIA

iPod nano wanted

[Denise Williams]

Hello all
I might be asking for something that is an unrealistic request but there's
no harm in trying! My 14yr old daughter has Xmas spending money burning a
hole in her pocket and she can't seem to be able to spend it on the purchase
of an iPod nano - 2gig. Supplies are non existent and I just wondered if
it's possible to buy one secondhand?? We are located in Trigg.
Any sellers out there?
TIA

Trying to get onto Paypal

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
I've been trying to get myself set up with a Paypal account so as to buy on
ebay but each time I go to try and 'Setup' while on the paypal site, I end
with a virtually empty screen. Have tried about 5 times now.
I'm using OS 9.2 and for the Internet, IE 5.1.6.
The address where it all stops at is :
https://www.paypal.com/au/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registration-run

Could it be because I'm on OS 9.2?
TIA

Re: Importing text into PSD

[Denise Williams]

Hi Everyone
Thanks to respondents about my request to import text into Photoshop. I had
been doing most of the right things, like copy/paste but the trick is to
create a NEW text layer in PSD rather than trying to paste to an existing
Text layer. Such a simple solution but so frustrating when you can't get it
right!
Thanks again

Importing text into PSD

[Denise Williams]

Hi Everyone
Is it possible to import editable text into Photoshop? I have PSD version 7
(can update to CS if this needs to be the way to go) and am on OS9.
When viewing my text (Appleworks saved as Text) I  have other options such
as HTML or RTF but neither will open in PSD. The only way I seem to be able
to get it into PSD is as a PDF but of course this is not editable.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: More Microsoft bashing :-)

[Denise Williams]

Loved the story Rob! Just wondering if you could tell me what NeoOffice is?
I've never heard of it - is it an alternative to Word? I hate Word but am
forced to use it.

 next thing you know they will be using Powerbooks and Keynote to do

 They are just showing us that when something needs doing right, do it

 Yep have to agree, now I am off to do some work with my extension to an
 iPod, damn where did I put that iPod? Oh, I don't own one!
 
 Actually it is quite funny because I was consulting with a friend whom
 works with some Federal Department here in Perth, very much a Microsoft
 Heaven even bloody Microsoft mouse pads and Office mugs, mmm yep! Any
 way they had a very important document to be printed and signed by some
 American Consulate official whom was in Perth on his way to Mauritius
 for holidays. They attempted to open the downloaded 23 page word
 document which was an attachment in an email from Outlook;  no go could
 not even get document to open in Outlook or Word even to save file as
 something else.
 
 Apple PB to rescue sent email via gmail.com to PB, mail opened it and
 even the word doc file in TextEdit. But it was not formatted, bugger,
 slight embarrassment. So, open NeoOffice loaded .doc file and their
 right before your eyes a formatted .doc file, now I thought that was
 impressive. But, I went to print no printer all on secure network,
 rendezvous (bonjour now) seems to be showing something yes it is a HP
 laser printer. Ah print document it's a go yes 23 pages later and a
 signature, they still swear by Microsoft.
 
 This was after they sent this file around the office a few times to
 every geek in the office. Response from IT idiot, oh! bloody Mac, must
 have been a Mac Office document then I showed stunned mullet it was
 opened by NeoOffice A GNU licensed Office Suite and original email
 client was Outlook.
 
 It felt good to be playing at Apple that day.

FW: A photoshop printing problem

[Denise Williams]

To: Severin Crisp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: A photoshop printing problem

Hi All/Severin
I would suggest you keep the mode of the image you want as greyscale, kept
to RGB or CMYK (depending on printer). ie do not use that photo as greyscale
mode. If it was originally a colour photo, turn it into a black  white by
playing around with adjustments such as gradient map (make sure the
foreground colour is put at black before using this), saturation  selective
colour. 
If it was originally black  white then as you say, you still need to print
it in RGB or CMYK, to suit the rest of the file. You can't get away from
that. But if you can get it looking right (using above adjustment
suggestions), as an RGB or CMYK file, then it should print the same.
Good luck

 I am printing art work which is a mix of greyscale and colour in the
 one print.  This is out of Photoshop CS to an Epson 1290S and I am
 unable to get a really good black and white rendition of the grayscale
 portions.  I can separate the parts of the image into colour and
 greyscale to separate layers and print separately in two passes but the
 alignment is not accurate enough so I have to print the lot in colour
 and the greyscale portions take on a dark greenish cast.  I can correct
 this to some extent manipulating hue and saturation but I just do not
 get the clear black white and grey that come from a normal printing in
 black and white.  Essentially Photoshop needs to tell the printer to
 use just black ink (K) on its own for those parts of the print and not
 to even try to make it up with CMY.  I am sure Photoshop is clever
 enough for this but I am not.
 Can anyone out there help please?

Re: Cool iPhoto idea

[Denise Williams]

Hi All
Most of the Pro labs in Perth offer a good print service of posters at 20 x
32 for between $30  $40. I use Mirage in Hay St Subi or Fitgeralds, cnr
Grosvenor  Fitzgerald Sts North Perth. They print them on a Pegasus machine
 require the file at 100% size, Adobe RGB, and JPEG.
Would be happy to answer any other queries by direct email.

 I don't have Photoshop but he suggested on his blog that Graphic converter

 I'm interested to know where I would email/take my poster for printing at
 30inches by 20 inches, and a rough cost?

 Shoebox only do up to 12x18, but I notice nextbyte do a service here in Oz
 now too (not directly through iPhoto though - you still have to export and
 email/burn to cd) with Digital DaVinci:
 
 http://www.digitaldavinci.com.au/
 
 Mainly books, but I'm sure they would do a photo of that size if you ask.
 
 Anybody of any locals offering this kind of service yet?
