Re: Adieu
Hi, I ve been at times a financial member of the group and during those times attended meetings, enjoyed the company and experience of other members. Paying a due for this I agree was and is fair and equitable. This list has IMHO has developed from those early days and maybe now has become a mixed role between an user group and a club newsletter. I belong to several other usergroups unrelated to Macs for which I get advice, help and opinions free of charge. If this is now no longer a user group forum but in fact a newsletter for finacial members then I would probably not join. A question I have is if I now have to pay for this advice or privelege what are my rights and your liabilities. regards john Sent from my iPad On 28/06/2012, at 7:26 AM, Roger Kortas rkor...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hi Tim You can't really make a judgement on if the fee is small or not, it might be small for you but for others it may not be!

But I've learned heaps from receiving the list emails, and been able to ask a question or two over the years. For me WAMUG IS the email list. I agree with Carlo, and the minimal cost is completely reasonable to receive reliable accurate info and feedback. This is unlike other non computer forums that I participate in where users are all amateurs and their contributions are only as accurate as their experiences. I urge caution for the committee providing free access based on requests from members. If it is based on the applicants ability to add value to the list, then that is one matter, but to make assessment on income is likely to get bogged down in value judgements, comparisons between applicants and other messy things, all for such a small amount of money. I think it's a shame that people are seeing this small fee as a reason to exit the list. We live in a user pays world, I support the committees decision. Tim Sent from my iPad On 27/06/2012, at 23:06, cm cm200...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Peter and Eugene and other list members, We list followers are really grateful for your contributions over the years and we contributors are honoured to have been able to help you out on other occasions. I just wanted to let you know that there is no need at all to end your connection with WAMUG. You will still be able to read any and all posts to the list, and you will still continue to receive WAMUG emails to your inbox unless you choose to stop them. Also if you ever happen to be passing through Perth, meetings are open to all and we would love to see you there. The decision to allow posting to only members was not made lightly. Running the list has a very real cost, both financial and in the time of contributors, fairness dictates that those who pay the membership fee are entitled to use the service above other persons who join, post a random question or put up for sale a piece of equipment, and then disappear. Sadly neither of you, Peter and Eugene, are anywhere near to this category of user so I have two solutions to suggest. Firstly remember that the WAMUG membership fee is less than a reasonable call-out charge for most Mac consultants. So if at some future time you need a consultant, consider joining our list and with luck we will all pitch in, fix the problem, and you will come out financially ahead. The second solution I would like to offer is that at the next committee meeting we will discuss some bursaries for members who really cannot afford to pay the membership fee. This would be entirely confidential between the pro s p ec tive member and WAMUG. If the committee is in agreement you will see a mail out on this subject after the next committee meeting on July 17 and our website will be updated to reflect this. So I really hope this is arrivederci rather than adieu, and if not we are grateful for your contribution to WAMUG.

Re: Intergration
Thanks Stuart Sent from my iPad On 04/09/2011, at 9:53 AM, Stuart Evans stuart.ev...@t4.com.au wrote: Hi John, It all depends on that word Integration. Apple have dropped the Xserve as a product but still has a server operating system product - Lion OSX Server (as Ronni has just emailed). I would argue that Apple have not ever had an enterprise level server product (in terms of functionality and services) even though the Xserve was capable of such. I'm pretty sure one university had a massive number of Xserves set up as a super computer. You can still get a Mac Pro Server model or you can run OSX Server on any Mac - there is also a Mac Mini server model. There is talk that Apple are designing the Mac Pro to become rack mountable. However...in regard to integration Apple computers integrate into education and corporate environments very easily. The Active Directory plugin enables you to join to Windows networks and with Windows 2008 there has even been the capacity to manage preferences of Mac computers with MCX extensions. With some clever scripting you can even set up your Macs to login to the network and map to the same drives as the windows users are used to (ie H: drive and S: drive). We are currently doing this for businesses and schools. The majority of savvy Mac users don't even really need the scripting to enable access to drives or even printers. The main issue we come up against is in relation to the way OSX handles security such as kerberos tokens but I won't go to far into technical issues. That said, with Lion Apple broke some of the things that were working really well in relation to Active Directory domains and MCX preferences. I don't know if it is a bug or if it is a deliberate change. Apple do seem to be aiming at the individualised device (ie iPad) with Lion and iOS5, and that could be an issue for corporates or education where multiple users use a single device. I would say that in general we are seeing more companies and schools looking to integrate Apple than ever before and I don't see a focus on MS or PCs. After spending years spruiking Apple to schools and businesses an finally getting some success, my concern is that Apple's direction will disenchant many of the organisations that have sought to integrate Apple products. Hopefully that won't be the case.

So, the PDF rending engine build in isn't going to handle really large high quality PDF files. Given the nature of the device it is never going to substitute for a full computer for image rendering or or manipulation, at least not on a professional level. That said, GoodReader is probably one of the better PDF viewers on the iPad. It uses the iPad's included PDF engine by default, but does have it's own that can be turned on in it's settings. The other engine is supposed to be faster, not necessarily better quality, but you could give it a try anyway.

Plug this into the new machine and then transfer across your data. I wouldn't even look at moving Applications (OS9) or anything from the System Folder, well maybe bar fonts. But Migration Assistant as such won't work, as it requires OSX on the old machine. You'd then start with a nice clean setup. Install all the fruit and then put your files into the correct locations (Documents, Desktop, Music, Movies etc etc). Less conflict of old stuff to new stuff. Look around when looking to buy the iMac. Some places offer services to migrate the old data for you to the new machine. (Differing level of services versus cost depending on what's done for you.). This can sometimes help as well, as they know where all the hidden goodies are that your'e trying to move across. And there are ways to move email across to Mail as well.

How did you transfer from the old MacBook to the New iMac? Did you use Migration Assistant transfer everything over? If you did a complete Transfer using Migration Assistant. When you first connected the TM Backup Drive opened System Preferences Time Machine you would have received a message asking “Would you like to reuse the back “/Volumes/Backup Volume Name/Backups.backupdb/Old Computer Name” with this computer? The backup was created on a different computer. If you reuse this backup it can no longer be used by the original computer” Did you select to “Reuse Backup”? NOTE: Time Machine keeps each Mac's backups completely separate from the backups of every other Mac. This is done not by computer name (which you can change via System Preferences Sharing), but by each Mac's Media Access Control address (or MAC Address), which is embedded in the hardware on the logic board, and cannot be changed. Clicking on “Reuse Backup” does all the MAC address fix-up while clicking “Create New Backup” will result in a new Time Machine database being created. If you choose Reuse Backup, Time Machine will add on to the existing set of backups. As the message says, then the original Mac cannot continue to back up to the same set of backups. However, the first backup may still be a full backup of the new Mac, not an incremental one. 2.

That said, GoodReader is probably one of the better PDF viewers on the iPad. It uses the iPad's included PDF engine by default, but does have it's own that can be turned on in it's settings. The other engine is supposed to be faster, not necessarily better quality, but you could give it a try anyway. GoodReader is a handy app to have around for a variety of reasons, so you'll likely find other uses for it.

Re: strange phone call
Roni, Thanks for email. I didn't have the problem before upgrading iOS4. At present its intermittent. My email is deleted from the ISP server if I download to my Mac. At present I delete the server side mail via web mail because I am in the process of upgrading. So I am inclined to think that it may be a bug. John Sent from my iPad On 11/12/2010, at 4:10 PM, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: That's ok John, I have all my email Accounts setup as IMAP on the iPad, so they have these extra mailboxes, a POP account probably does not. On my Mac one is a POP3 Account the others are IMAP, but IMAP is better than POP on the iPad, because IMAP is more conducive to checking your email from multiple devices on the iPad so all are setup as IMAP on iPad. In Advanced View under Deleted Messages I take it from what you mentioned below, that you have this set to Never (to keep deleted messages indefinitely). The other options are 'After One Day, After One Week, or After One Month'. With any setting other than 'Never', Mail removes messages from your designated Trash mailbox after they’ve been there for the period of time you request. Do you have the same setting ( Remove copy from Server after retrieving a message-Never) in this Mail Account Advanced on your Mac? If you do, have Remove copy from Server after retrieving a message set to never meaning all the emails are remaining on the server, you might be getting to your ISP's limit for your email account. I have Remove copy from server after retrieving a message set to After one day on my Mac on my iPad. I don't know how you are syncing your Mail Account, I surmise using iTunes. Keep in mind that this copies only the settings, not any messages already downloaded to your computer; your device must download messages directly from your mail server. This sync is not only one-way; it’s also one-time. That means even if you leave the box checked and sync repeatedly, iTunes won’t overwrite the settings on your iPad every time, so if you happen to change the account settings on your iPad, you need not worry that syncing again will cause problems. On the other hand, this also means that if you make changes on your Mac and want to overwrite the settings on your iPad, it won’t happen automatically, even if all the boxes remain checked. You must first delete the account in question from your iPad and then, with that account selected in iTunes and Sync Selected Mail Accounts enabled, sync again.

Re: Mac mini vers iMac
Neil, Appreciate your comments. Probably looking at the smaller screen. Also I Forgot to mention that I have pc as well and was trying to consolidate back to one lot of equipment plus include TV ability John Sent from my iPad On 29/08/2010, at 12:07 PM, Touchwood touchwoo...@bigpond.com wrote: Hi John With the recent refresh of the iMac, its processors, graphics card etc. are now well ahead of the Mac mini. The Mac mini also has the slower 5400 rpm HD vs 7200rpm of the iMac. To get 8GB of RAM into the Mac mini you need to purchase two 4GB Modules as there are only 2 RAM slots, which is a more expensive option than the 4 x 2GB you can achieve with the iMac. By the time you spec up a Mac mini and add the cost of the monitor, you're paying the equivalent of the base iMac and you've got a very underpowered machine by comparison. There is no doubt the Mac mini is a beautiful and elegant little machine...it's just a shame Apple won't come to the party and give it the horse power it needs. Just a word of warning if you decide to go the iMac route. Since the introduction of the LED screen at the end of last year, there is an issue with yellow tinge or blotchy screens. Unfortunately this seems to be a subjective issue...some people don't seem phased by it... for others (like me ;-) ) it is extremely annoying and unacceptable in a computer for which we are paying $2,000. Last December I purchased a new iMac and its screen was bad (yellow blotches), nowhere near the quality of my current G5 iMac. Two screen replacements and two replacement computers later, Apple still could not give me an iMac with an acceptable screen, and the last two iMacs also had manufacturing defects in the bargain (one had black paint scratched off on the inside of the glass border and the other had a ding in the lower right front corner.) In the end I gave up and managed to get a refund...the whole exercise took from December 2009 to April 2010. I've waited until this recent refresh to try again and with some trepidation I have ordered another iMac. In fact it is ready for me to pick up from the courier depot tomorrow. I hope I don't have to go through the whole replacement fiasco again, but I am not confident when discussions like these are still showing up http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2528347start=15tstart=0 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=983886 If the Mac mini was just a more capable computer, I would definitely have chosen it over the iMac, just to avoid all the angst that Apple's lack of quality control is giving me. Sorry about the rant, but I hope this information is helpful to you. Cheers Neil On 28/08/2010, at 10:38 AM, John Hatch wrote: I notice a lot of mail about the Mac mini.

Re: More on Fix for laptop batteries
Bob. what was Rob Wyatt's super tip JOhn Bob Howells wrote: I would like to say THANKS for the feed back I received for yesterday's post. It was appreciated. Here is todays issue fron Macintouch. Note the bottom section talks about ion batteries . PHOTO enthusiast's with elctronic cameras may also want to READ . Cheers Bob Macintouch! Yesterday's tips about resuscitating laptop batteries worked well for several other readers: [Bill Walker] The tip from Rob Wyatt, regarding resetting Open Firmware to resolve a problem with a battery not being recognized, has resurrected our old clamshell iBook, which had become a wall-power-only system after getting some juice spilled on it. [Dominique Roussel] Thanks to Rob Wyatt's super tip, I was able to restore use to my partner's 2002 16 MB VRAM iBook battery, without going the Applecare route. The only thing missing from his tip was how to boot into Open Firmware (Option-Command-O-F.) I imagine the reason Applecare staff don't mention this is that typing Open Firmware commands is probably beyond many users. Besides, asking users to engage in this type of manoeuvre is probably embarrassing for the company that popularised the graphical user interface. [Don Hurter] Holy Power Adapters! We've got an old iBook laying around that had a dead battery in it for years (or so we thought). The machine lived on the adapter and used to die instantly if the cord was removed, and I've previously tried reseting the pram and power circuitry. But today I followed Rob Wyatt's suggestion and the battery has risen from the dead! I'm currently charging/discharging the battery to exercise it, and it lasted for at least two hours after the initial reset. This is the kind of tip that makes this site worth the donations. Thanks. But then there's a new question - assuming now that all along the problem was the internal power circuitry, yet had we replaced the battery earlier (which we almost did at one point), then would this problem still persist? In Rob's case, if he receives a new battery from Apple but hadn't gone through the reset procedure, would the new battery also appear DOA? [An Apple KB article discusses Open Firmware, what it is and how to invoke it and exit from it. -MacInTouch] Derek Miller, meanwhile, pointed out a good resource for information about Apple's Li-ion batteries and other types of batteries: The current MacInTouch discussion of Mac OS X and battery life twigged me to look at a site I hadn't read in awhile [Batteries in a Portable World], and I learned some interesting things about how the Li-ion batteries Apple now uses differ from previous designs in how they should be treated, and how long they last. It's a bit hard to find what you're looking for on the site, but according to the FAQ... Li-ion batteries are quite different from previous designs such as nickel-metal-hydride and nickel-cadmium. Li-ions do not require and should not be subjected to regular deep discharges. Maybe the initial discharge Apple apparently suggests for new batteries is useful, but it's not something you should do regularly. Buchmann also reports that, while it has many benefits, the Li-ion design also has an essentially fixed life, which means you need to budget for replacement in three years or so regardless of how you use the batteries, or even if you don't use them at all: [Choosing the Right Battery] -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.html Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.html Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
