Re: re telstra
We have been with Highway1 as our server for years. They are very good with support (our knowledge as well as our needs are pretty basic) and I think I can only remember a couple of occasions when they were down. They even advised us when they thought we were on a plan which was more expensive than we required. Since changing to a Mac , I have found that they have people who specialise in Macs. regards, Jennifer On 07/05/2009, at 11:51 AM, Robert Miller-Eves wrote: After all the Hoo Ha about the evils of Telstra (I've been with Bigpond for several years now and apart from the fact that they are expensive, have never had a problem) I've just signed up with Highway1 who are offering very competitive rates and are Mac sensitive.Just hope I've made a right move!

Re: Formatting of New Flash Memory Stick
Hello Everyone, We transfer files between a Dell with Microsoft Windows XP and our Mac OS X 10.5.6 using a Toshiba Memory Stick without any problems. I think we were too ignorant to envisage any need for formatting or possible incompatibility! regards, Jennifer On 18/04/2009, at 12:20 PM, Robert Howells wrote: On 18/04/2009, at 11:33 AM, Geoffrey Barbara Maidment wrote: Maybe I've done something wrong but I've never found the need to format a memory stick.

Barb The one time you would need to format as Mac is if you were using the Memory stick on a Macintosh running an OS prior to OSX Because OSX first became available in about 1999 there is not much use for OS9 now .

Gmail and hotmail
Good Morning, I have now downloaded Safari 4 to our Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Thank you, Ronni, Miss Cloe and others). I can access my own email. However, visitors using hotmail and gmail can open them, but not access the emails - the latter won't highlight. Is there a step I have missed out, or can you help in some way?

Re: Gmail and hotmail
Thank you, Ronnie, for the usual magic. That seems to have done the trick for hot mail and will check gmail when the user gets back from a swim - a Brit basking in the warmth while he can. Fitz tells Miss Cloe that he, too, is outside basking. He hasn't yet explained which is his workday and is awed at the thought of two computer rooms!

Many thanks, Jennifer Hello Jennifer (Miss Cloe says hello also), I'm not sure what you mean exactly, I sent this fix to Maureen re her daughter's hotmail account and it worked. In Safari 4 Beta: Go to Preferences Advanced - and checked Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar Then gone to the Menu Bar and clicked on Develop User Agent and then choose the latest version of firefox, that should fix the problem. I know it does for Hotmail. Let us know how you get on please.

Safari 4
Good Morning, I have a Mac OS X 10.5.6. I am not sure if I should download Safari 4 and if I do would it import my bookmarks?

If so, make sure all security updates etc are installed, then download Safari 4 http://www.apple.com/safari/what-is.html The downloaded disk image of Safari 4 includes an uninstaller. Keep a copy of this in a safe place. If it turns out you don't like Safari 4, the uninstaller will automatically revert you to your previous version of Safari. All your settings, bookmarks etc will be preserved.

If you haven't then I'd be looking at doing that as a first priority. Assuming you have another Mac to hand (yours?) and a firewire cable, boot the Emac in target mode and clone it's drive to somewhere, eg: - spare external drive (ideal) - disk image on an external drive (with enough space) - disk image on your machine (again with enough space) Now, I'd feel safe to address the problem. As Bob says, sometimes the stand-alone Combo update often works best for updating - and the fact that you used Auto update doesn't stop you running the Combo update over the top of this - and you shouldn't lose any info. Since the problem only appeared after the auto update, it seems highly likely (though not certain) that this is the root of your problem and so running the Combo updater over the top may be all that's needed to fix it. -- 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:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
