Have you tried opening the document in Numbers?

 Thanks for the comments, Peter.
 Let me emphasise the problem again.
   1. The document basically a table (Word .doc from 93 PC version) opens
 and displays correctly in my MS Office 2011, Word 14.3.9
   2.  When I print, on any of three printers, a few values, which are
 calculated within Word are incorrect, some are unaffected.  Non
 calculated values are fine.
   3. When I save as PDF from the print dialog corruption occurs as in
 printing
   4. If I open the document in Acrobat 11, the same corruption occurs
   5. Text Edit can not open the document sensibly
   6.  Preview opens and prints correctly, though the setting out is
 disturbed
   7. If I save from Word as .rtf, then open and print from Text Edit,
 the numbers are fine but once again the setting out is disturbed.

 All in all, most annoying!

 I regularly receive a report in Word.doc format from someone with a
 PC and Word 2003.  The document is in fact a table and has some
 calculations embedded in it.  It displays correctly on screen but
 some, not all, of the calculated cells have incorrect values in them
 when printed.  The same thing happens when I save as PDF so I suspect
 a postscript mismatch is the culprit.  Though it looks awful it saves
 as .rtf correctly.  I have latest MS Office and it gets it wrong if I
 save as a .docx.
 Most annoying, comments please!

 A few ideas:

 1. What happens if you open the file in something else that will read
 .doc files, eg, TextEdit or Open Office or any of its clones
 (NeoOffice, etc - assuming have any of the latter)?

 2. Do you know the syntax of the calculations? Could you re-enter them
 into your onscreen document? A bit of a nuisance but it might work.

 3. I'm also wondering if there isn't some reliance on a macro set up
 which isn't available to you

 Sorry I can't of more help. It does seem likely that there may be some
 internal structural problems with the file.

Re: Startup problem iMac power PC

[Merv Bond]

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Did as you suggested Ronni, but no change - including the vacuuming and 
the use of my puffer for removing dust from photos.

A day or so later one of my sons, the only one immersed in Macs, called 
by and went through the procedures as well. He agreed with you Ronni, 
and Tim, that it was a capacitor problem. He had had a similar 
experience with one of his own iMacs, and although the capacitors had 
been replaced by an experienced technician, the problem did not go away. 
A new power box was the only solution. So, my wife is considering her 
options - will keep in touch -  but don't hold your breathe.
Incidentally, her machine has firewire 400 only. Using SuperDuper I had 
been making bootable backups to an external disk that only had 
800firwire sockets. I used a cable adapted for this situation. I made 
one desperate attempt to install one of bootable copies back on the 
'injured' iMac but it did not recognise the back-up. Maybe I did 
something wrong or was trying the impossible.
Regards to all
Merv

 Hi Merv,

 What were your results please; is the problem fixed?

 If you haven't recently cleaned the dust from all of the intake and
 exhaust vents, I would suggest you do.

 Turn the iMac OFF and disconnect power cable  anything attached to the
 iMac.
 Find the air vents, there is one along the top, one along the bottom,
 and in some models there is a circular one in back.
 Use a vacuum cleaner to get the worst off, then use compressed air to
 blow the rest out.

 Kind Regards,

 Hi Merv,

 Try Reset SMU  Reset PRAM  NVRAM

 _*Reset SMU of your iMac*_

  1. Turn off your iMac
  2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
  3. Wait 10-50 seconds.
  4. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding
 the power button on the back of the computer.
  5. Let go of the power button.
  6. Then turn on your Mac again



 _*Reset PRAM and NVRAM*_

  1. Shut down your iMac
  2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
  3. Turn on the computer.
  4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this
 key combination before the gray screen appears and before the
 chime sound.
  5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the
 startup sound for three times.
  6. Release the keys.


 If this does not fix, you might have problem with the capacitors on
 the logic board.

 Ronni

 Shut down and reopended. No success.

Re: whatsapp for ipad

[Merv Bond]

Susan and Martin
Thank you for exploring this topic with me.
I did a search on consequences of jailbreaking an ipad and a telling one 
was:
  'if you install new firmware updates released by Apple for the iPad, 
those updates will restore the iPad to a non-jailbroken state, removing 
any third-party apps or device customizations made while jailbroken.' 
For more see:
http://www.ehow.com/info_8169902_jailbreaking-ipad-do.html

I guess that if I get totally frustrated with phone messaging I'll 
purchase credits and use Skype.

Thank you both for your help and advice.
Merv

 Just a small correction - WhatsApp does not work on the iPad (even in the USA

 in the foreseeable future.

 Whether this is due to legal or technical problems I don't know, although it 
 appears to be related to the need for a SIM card to access the cellular SMS 
 protocol.  However, at this stage, I believe that unfortunately the only way 
 to get it working on the iPad is to jailbreak as Merv originally said.

 Facebook has a messaging section. It's free, but the person you are talking

 so that you can message each other. That is what I meant by 'common'. It's 
 the same as Apple's service in that you can only contact people using a 
 setup that you both belong to. Tango, which you can use on a phone, not sure 
 about an ipad also requires you to both be using that app. I don't know of 
 any universal SMS service that is free.

 Things that work in the USA may not work here because we have different 
 carriers with different approaches. If whatsapp is actually free it probably 
 still requires you to sign up and give an email address. I would expect a 
 huge avalanche of spam that may even get past your ISP providers anti spam 
 services by signing on to such a service. After all, they have to pay for it 
 somehow!

 Skype's paid service is an example of one where you pay (as you do when 
 using SMS on your mobile phone) and it allows you to contact anyone. As its 
 the same as using SMS on a mobile phone I would suggest that she consider 
 it. Although their security may be flawed at times they are big enough to 
 care is there is a public outcry, so would at least try to have good 
 security.

 all seem to require people to belong to the same social networking group, 
 for example Facebook.

Family HIstory Search

[Merv Bond]

Trying to fill in some gaps in my family tree that I am creating with 
MacFamilyTree. My question is not about MacFamilyTree so is a bit off 
topic but is related.
Has anyone used Just Answer as a search service for obtaining 
information about ancestors? If so, how do you rate their service in 
terms of satisfactorily answering your question(s) and the corresponding 
costs.
Feedback appreciated.

If so and you have the photos you want already for insertion why not 
forget about iPhoto and use Keynote. If the church/funeral parlour only 
uses darkside software create in Keynote and save as a powerpoint.

Check it out on the Apple store, you might be able to purchase and

iPad:access mail attachments

[Merv Bond]

I created a document in Pages and exported it as aWord document to a 
colleague for appraisal.
He said he had sent it back with comments, the comments being linked to 
the appropriate point of insertion in the text.
I received his response by email and took the email using my iPad 2 (iOS 
5.1.1; Pages 1.7.1). I double clicked on the document image in his email 
and it opened in what I assumed (perhaps incorrectly), that the document 
was opened in Pages. No changes were visible !!

I downloaded the email on my iMac, double clicked the attachment, and it 
opened in Pages with the changes clearly marked.

Because the promo for Pages stated tracking was now part its attributes 
I assumed (not again!!), that the Pages document would show tracking.

Is there an alternative way to access an attachment on iPad so that I 
know I am using pages, not an iOS text application, and perhaps see the 
recommended changes?

Advice appreciated.

Worked a treat.
Now opened all sorts of possibilities with tracking of changes being

Thank you.

 Hi Merv,

 On your iPad If you do not want the attachment to open in Quick Look,  just 
 tap and hold your finger on the attachment. A pop-up menu will appear with a 
 number of button options.

 Tapping on ‘Quick Look’ will open the file in the standard viewer.
 Tap on ‘Open In “app name” to open the attachment in a pre-selected other app.
 Tapping on ‘Open In…’ will show you a new menu with buttons.
 Each button has an apps icon and name next to it.
 Tap on a button to open the attachment in the required app.

Flash back 1999

[Merv Bond]

No doubt some of you will remember this story circulating in 1999.
Merv

Bill Clinton, Bill Gates (the Microsoft King) and a priest were leaving 
from New York on a private jet on the eve of the new millenium.  They 
were heading for Rome to celebrate the occasion with the Pope.

Just before board a young man with long hair and a backback came up to 
the group and begged to be allowed to fly to Rome with them.  The priest 
was very taken with the young man’s zeal to be in Rome for the 2000 
commoration of the birth of Christ and convinced Clinton and Gates that 
it was OK to take him.

The plane took off at 11.30pm on Dec 31, 1999.  Just before midnight 
they were cruising at 35,000 feet.  On the stroke of midnight the 
engines cut out.  The pilot announced that the computers controlling the 
engines had shut down and consequently the engines.  They would crash.

The cabin steward announced that there were only three parachutes for 
the four passengers.

Bill Clinton said he was the leader of the most powerful country in the 
world and so must survive.  So saying he took a chute and jumped.

Bill Gates said he was the most intelligent man in the world and must 
survive and jumped.

The priest turned to the young man and said, “I am an old man and you 
are young and have everything to live for.  You take the remaining chute.”

The young man replied, “Not to worry Father.  The most intelligent man 
in the world just jumped with my backpack.”

Java exploit - serious consequences

This has been the sequence of events when it has come to Java exploits 
but this latest one is different, very different. Someone, deep inside a 
bunker in China no doubt, has discovered that Java, at its core, is 
insecure and it cannot be simply patched. The whole thing has been 
compromised and needs to be rewritten. It would be like finding out that 
the body of your car is made of blasting caps and if you hit anything

 In Safari - Disable Java
 1. Safari  Preferences, select Security

 Disabling Java in Safari is highly recommended for safe computing.
 You should enable it only when on a trusted site that requires it.

 In Firefox:
 1. Open Firefox and click the Firefox button - Add-ons (Tools - Add-ons

 2. Choose the Plugins tab.
 3. Select the Java plugin(s) and click disable.

 The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is urging computer users to 
 disable or uninstall Java due to a serious flaw in Runtime Environment 
 (JRE) 7.

 The DHS' Computer Emergency Readiness Team warned Thursday evening that it 
 was being exploited in the wild and could allow an attacker to execute 
 arbitrary code on vulnerable systems.

 CERT recommended that Java be disabled in Web browsers. It pointed users to

As you point out there are lots of changes happening in the background

 Not that it affects things, but it could be that they had mail servers that 
 handled just username rather then usern...@iinet.net.au and after a 
 software update on their end (i.e. their servers) some (or all) of their mail 
 servers now no longer recognise that.
 (or specific protocols for certain email clients).
 It may be the same where mail.m.iinet.net.au as outgoing and incoming mail 
 servers still works now, even though their recommend setting is 
 mail.iinet.net.au. One day if they upgrade or change servers again this 
 setting may just stop!
 (the same could also be said for people that merged with iinet and have 
 ozemail.com.au addresses from years ago. One day iinet may decide, hey we're 
 now changing this and they will no longer be supported.

 Mail accounts (and internet connections) are spread over many different 
 servers and computers and devices (or dial in boxes), and sometimes if you 
 happen to get a specific one it lets you do one thing, and another one 
 doesn't. (That's why sometimes you can have a great connection one day, then 
 the next if it drops off and reconnects and you get another Server box it 
 can be not so good. :o)

 Trying to be fairly generic with that,..and hopefully doesn't across too 
 poorly, just offering some ideas of why it can be. :o)
 But the main thing it's all working.

 Oh, as an aside, something similar is slowly happening with Telstra/Bigpond 
 clients. Telstra have decided at some point obviously they no longer want to 
 house email. So they've (obviously) done some deal with Microsoft and a lot 
 of clients emails are being palmed off from Telstra to Hotmail. (so the 
 mail.bigpond.com incoming setting no longer works, and clients are finding 
 they now have to use pop3.live.com - which is the incoming setting for 
 Hotmail). The strange thing is that so many of Telstra clients don't 
 appear to know this. (I must admit the first time I stumbled across it I was 
 a bit unaware fully - vaguely knew but didn't sink in). And even though 
 it's being done for a lot of people, I'm surprised that s it' s been poorly 
 advised from Telstra, as so many don't' realise.

 not exactly the same as what yours was, but just to sort of tie in the 
 changing of settings type principal. Ok, it probably wasn't the 
 same,…lol,..but hey, I like sharing interesting stories,…lol :)

 Glad it's all working :)

 Hi Ronni
 You could be right that iiNet have always had the email address as User

 I suspect that iiNet made some changes to their system overnight between
 11.00 pm Sunday evening and 7.30 am Monday morning when my wife tried to

 I have two other machines running Eudora that would not access mail so I

Hi Kev
Launch Eudora. In the main menu click on Eurdora and run down to 
Preference. Top of the list Getting Started. Click on that and a box 
occurs with User Name, Mail Server, Real Name, SMTP Server and Email 
Address.
Fill these in as per Ronni's recent email and you are up and running.

 I have Eudora on one machine, Apple Mail on another and Thunderbird on
 another; all with iinet.  Thunderbird works still, but Mail and Eudora
 won't play ball.  I will look at the miscreants and see it the user-name
 thing fixes the problem(s).

 BTW I have used Eudora for years and the only problem I have with it is
 forwarding embedded graphics.  Somehow they arrive in a different format.

 Best for the Season to all WAMUGers,

 OK, because she likes Eudora

 If the client just said PASS then the login will fail I imagine the full

 Are you sure the Password is the correct password and typed correctly.

Re: DAB+ Radio

Blocked printer nozzle

[Merv Bond]

I am running an Epson Stylus Office 600TX600FW.
Yesterday I printed a map and it came out in purple and blue hues.
This morning I checked the ink levels and the magenta is low but OK.
Did a nozzle test and yellow did not show up.
Cleaned and tested the heads twice but yellow refused to show.
In the ink levels it is showing at 100% full.
Took out the yellow cartridge _ went through the cartridge replacement 
procedure to do this_the cartridge showed some dampness so I assume the 
nozzle in the printer is blocked.
Can this be fixed? By whom?
Your advice appreciated.

Re: Blocked printer nozzle

[Merv Bond]

Hi Ronni
Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, I am using genuine Epson cartridges.
This time instead of using the utility application on my Mac I went to 
the Setup menu on the printer. It probably makes no difference but worth 
a try. Did a nozzle test. A hint of yellow appeared.
Still within the Setup menu I then did a head clean.
I was next going to do another nozzle check but the Magenta had run out. 
It had been low so I suppose the head cleaning episodes drained it. 
Replaced the Magenta and waited for the reload testing procedure.
Did a nozzle check and all the colours appeared.
I have a test page made up of four 25 mm squares, one colour to each 
square. Ran that and solid colour came out in each square. Success!!

Thank you for the encouragement to have another go and for the 
additional tips should this happen in the future.
Regards
Merv

 Hi Merv,

 Are they genuine Epson Ink Cartridges?
 If so first try suggestions below.

 1. Remove the cartridge and reinstall it.
 2. Power cycle the printer, and then remove the cartridge and reinstall it.
 3. If the cartridge heads are blocked then soak them in window cleaning 
 solution or warm water and then clean with a soft cotton swab.
 4. If the cartridge has ink and still the printer does not print then the 
 circuit of the cartridge may have failed.

 If the printer still doesn’t recognise the ink cartridge, replace the ink 
 cartridge with a New Retail cartridge.
 
 Try reinstalling and charging it a few more times. If all else fails you have 
 a defective cartridge.
 It happens sometimes whereby for one reason or another the chip refuses to 
 register, even in the Epson Brand.
 If this is the case, nothing short of exchanging the cartridge will solve 
 your problem.
 
 Remove the cartridge and rub a soft tissue over the gold part (chip) of the 
 cartridge. Then replace.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Tax returns

[Merv Bond]

I know I am running close to the deadline but I am about to fill out the 
tax returns for my wife and myself. Searching for a related matter I 
came across the site below that offers an online service for Mac users.
Has anyone used them? If so, with what results?

It is a common ploy to defend oneself by saying that everybody else is

sub-text of the article. At the more literal reading the author of the

 This may sound like a lot until you realise that if Foxconn had the same 
 suicide rate as the rest of China, they would have had 1,320 suicides over 
 that same timeframe out of their 1.2 million workers.

 Make no mistake about it, these sorts of complaints are nothing but 
 tall-poppy syndrome and sour grapes

Re: Apple: some food for thought

No need to apologise, Mat. I thought the article would be provocative

 Merv, my apologies if I expressed myself a bit too strongly in my comment.  I 
 do in fact agree absolutely about the importance of ethical business 
 practices but feel the examples given in the article were just so inaccurate 
 as to damage the author's cause.

 I have been frustrated in recent years at the amount of unbalanced commentary 
 in much of the media about things like this. The continual tendency to tear 
 down those who do well that is such a feature of the Australian psyche is 
 unfortunately all too evident on the Internet as well.

 In the case of Apple it almost seems to be an orchestrated campaign for many 
 elements of the media to fixate on some manufactured negative issue with each 
 product release and blow it out of all proportion.  Examples include the lack 
 of a keyboard on the original iPhone, the non-removable battery, the 
 supposedly *hot* iPad which was cooler than most other tablets, the Aussie 4G 
 issue and now this $35 adapter.

 Where was the outcry when Samsung changed their adapter from their 30-pin 
 dock connector (which they copied from Apple) in the Galaxy S2 to the Galaxy 
 S3 without a free adapter for S2 owners?  What's wrong with buying a cheaper 
 third party adapter than Apple's for the new iPhone 5 - they're already being 
 advertised.

 Why should Apple give it away free? Apple already gives lots of free or cheap 
 stuff out - far cheaper OS update prices than Microsoft, far cheaper app 
 prices than desktop software, free iCloud services, the cheap cloud-hosted 
 iTunes Match service even for pirated music, free iOS system updates, free 
 Find My iPhone and Find my Friends apps, free Maps GPS navigation app, free 
 iTunes Remote app, etc etc.  How many gestures of goodwill does Apple have to 
 make? What's the big deal about this adapter?

 What other company has stuck with the same adapter and port on their devices 
 for a decade?  Why is there no outcry over the ridiculous number of different 
 USB port sizes and shapes out there that you have to buy different cables and 
 adapters for each different device? Why did I have to pay $400 for a new 
 remote key fob for my Landrover().  ;-(

 It is this unbalanced commentary that just gets my goat!

Re: Proposed name change to Apple Users WA

[Merv Bond]

1   Thank you Pete for clarifying the Special Meeting requirements. Unless 
specified otherwise in the Constitution (Rules) then the Act, as you 
say, prevails and 28 days apply.
2   As suggested by Ronni the legal use of the word Apple does need 
further exploration.
3   Has the 'no post unless you are a financial member' brought the issue 
of membership into a sharper focus, hence the campaign?
4   The tone of the third paragraph of the original mail-out on 10/9/12 
sounded like the mission statement of a business rather than a self help 
community of Apple enthusiasts. Although we have some members who are 
professionals in IT, most of us are not. We try hard to help each other 
and people act on our advice at their peril.
5   As WAMUG the efforts of our more knowledgeable members and useful 
examples of things that worked for our less qualified members have 
earned us a reputation of providing high quality assistance both 
nationally and internationally. Re-badging would result in having to 
rebuild that reputation.
6   Personally I have no problem in saying I am a WAMUG (way mug), member 
and follow it by saying we are no mugs.
7   The Committee's efforts to reinvigorate membership and meeting 
attendance is commendable. However, we must do it keeping in mind that 
we are a self help community of Apple enthusiasts.
Regards
Merv

 Hi Ronni and all other WAMUGGERS.

 I'd just like to address two points from a personal perspective to put your 
 minds at ease.

 1. Domain name.   Knowing that the name change would invoke healthy public 
 debate on a public forum and also knowing that there are people out there 
 (not WAMUGGERS!!) who snap up possible domain names to hold out for 'ransom', 
 so to speak,  a couple of domain names were snapped up by WAMUG first.

 If the end result is that the membership vote to change the name, we already 
 have the domain secured. If the end result is that membership vote to retain 
 WAMUG, then the domain names will simply expire and not be renewed. It was 
 just a precautionary thing.

 Personally - please consider the change and vote for what you want.

 2. Constitution.   I don't know where the 28 days has come from. Our 
 constitution reads:

  5.3 Notice of General Meetings
 At least twenty one days notice of every Annual General Meeting or fourteen 
 days for every Special General Meeting shall be given to Members specifying 
 the place, the date and the hour of the Meeting and the general nature of any 
 special business, but the non-receipt of such notice by any Member shall not 
 invalidate the proceedings at any General Meeting.

 The Associations Incorporation Act 1987 allows us to set the time period as 
 we see fit as long it is actually in the Rules (Constitution) which it is. 
 Other bodies may have 28 days but we don't. As you see, it is 21 days for the 
 AGM and only 14 days for a Special General meeting.

 Regards,

 Pete Smith

 In the post from the Committee it was mentioned having to explain the WAMUG

 enquiring about it.
 Once you've got them asking what it is, you then explain what WAMUG is, what 
 it does (covering all Apple products) etc etc.

 You have then got them intrigued enough to enquire about it, so you've 
 got them,... then you can sell them on the idea to come and see, come to a

 Hi WAMUGers,

 Well, I have said Hi WAMUGers another time ;-)

 I've been giving some more thought to this and watching the list and 
 comments and pondering the following, which I haven't seen answered as yet, 
 so will re-post for interest sake, some of the queries raised so far, as 
 well as some points of interest I have.

 First off, I'm assuming that appleuserswa.org.au would be the new website 
 address. After doing a search of registered Domain Names, I noticed it was 
 registered already, which I then discovered was by WAMUG. Just curious why 
 this was registered when it has not been agreed on as yet?

 Secondly, Merv mentioned the other day that the Special Meeting requires a 
 28 day notice, so may not fall in time for the 2nd October. I'm assuming 
 this would then need to be the November meeting to keep in line with the 
 constitution.

 The Committee mention a marketing push in the original post. Has a 
 marketing push been tried currently with WAMUG as it stands to date?
 Couldn't this be tried as another (much easier) way to try and recruit more 
 members. Surely just advertising WAMUG - come along to learn all about and 
 gain extensive knowledge and help for all things Apple - iPhone, iPad, 
 

Re: Proposed name change to Apple Users WA

[Merv Bond]

Hi Committee
There could be a problem with holding a Special Meeting on 2 October. 
Check in our Constitution. Usually Special Meetings require a 28 day 
notice with the item to be considered detailed in that notice.

 Hi Muggers,

 As you know the WAMUG Committee is working hard to increase the availability 
 of our service to Apple users. A number of our recent meetings have included 
 well received hands on demonstrations in addition to the traditional segment 
 for problem solving and the sharing of ideas. Though we are a vibrant and 
 active group and have a particularly responsive, helpful mail list, the 
 Committee would like to instigate a marketing push to increase meeting 
 attendance, attract some new members, and get involved in community outreach. 
 A model that we can aspire to is that of the dynamic Apple-Q in Queensland. ( 
 http://www.apple-q.org.au )

 This marketing will include a revamping of the web-site, printing of business 
 cards, and advertising in local publications and on local notice boards. 
 Before the marketing initiative begins a name change would greatly help with 
 public recognition of what our group does. The committee proposes that our 
 group of Apple enthusiasts be know as Apple Users WA.  As opposed to WAMUG 
 which has to be explained to all on first hearing, Apple Users WA obviously 
 describes a group Apple product users.

 We support the whole range of Apple products and services in addition to the 
 much loved, time honoured Mac. Newer products such as the iPod, iPhone, iPad 
 and Apple TV all contribute to the easily accessible Apple ecosystem that we 
 have come to rely upon. Rounding out the Apple combined ecosystem are 
 services that include iCloud, iTunes, iTunes U, iTunes Match, the App Store, 
 and the Mac App Store. It is now possible to own and iPhone and an iPad, and 
 with the use iCloud have an extremely versatile and functional setup. Younger 
 people in particular are often in a position where they do not even know what 
 a Mac is. Also Windows users are often wooed into the Apple fold by the 
 iPhone and iPad, but may initially not know the benefits of converting to an 
 iMac or a MacBook. We would like to help these sections of the community as 
 well as those who make use of the full range of Apple products.

 Even though we long standing members are quite comfortable with, and likely 
 even quite attached to the WAMUG name, a name that better reflects our 
 activities and sounds more accessible will help us promote the use of the 
 Apple product range and provide a obvious support group for the growing 
 collection of new Apple users.

 So while aficionados principally do our work on a Mac, increasingly certain 
 specialised functions are better served by using newer Apple products and 
 services. The Committee proposes that we change the name to Apple Users WA to 
 better reflect this.

 This name change will require the passing of a motion at a Special Meeting of 
 WAMUG. We propose that the meeting of Tuesday 2 October be such a Special 
 Meeting. An email with details will follow shortly.

 Best Regards,
 WAMUG Committee

 To fix this issue, you need to remove Notes Plus and re-install the

 Please remember to backup your important data prior to re-install Notes Plus.

Hi Stuart
Given my query you would realise I am a beginner ins this area.
In WAMUG archives search for Drawing on iPad.
In that thread Carlo and Pat offered suggestions. I guess your choice 
will depend on what you want to do with it. My motivation was to involve 
my grandchildren in problem solving without worrying about making

 Hi Merv,

 Apparently this is a bug in Notes 3.0.5.
 Extract from their support site:

 This is a nasty bug which happens to a small portion of users that we 
 haven’t figured out the root cause yet.

 To fix this issue, you need to remove Notes Plus and re-install the 
 application from App Store.

 Please remember to backup your important data prior to re-install Notes 
 Plus.

 You can refer to our FAQ page (FAQ page 
 http://notesplusapp.com/support_web/frequently-asked-questions ) to learn 
 how to backup/restore data.

Re: Drawing on iPad

[Merv Bond]

Hi Carlo and Pat.
I downloaded Carlo's suggestion before I received your email Pat so I 
have been playing with Notes Plus and have sent a sample of my efforts 
by email, directly from the app, to the son who gave me stylus. He rated 
my writing as barely Year 4!!
I will also explore the suggestions you made Pat as I think my two 
youngest grandchildren (and maybe the not so young ones), could get a 
lot of enjoyment from these apps.
Thank you both for your great suggestions.

 Water Color Pencil and ASKetch, which simulates charcoal. Also there is 
 SyncSpace which produces vector images and costs $8.49. This is one that can 
 be shared electronically in real time with other SyncSpace users, like a

 I also have a stylus, but unfortunately can't use it as there is a screen

Re: Transperth

[Merv Bond]

Hi Mac
I had no success with the maps.
However after going to the home page: http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/
I clicked on the button Bus Timetables, lower left of the page.
The table that comes up is not all that helpful but assuming I want to 
travel in the Western Suburbs I took a stab and clicked on the timetable 
for Western 41.
The resulting pdf gave the timetable for the route and a map.

If you did not know the Timetable Name nor the Service Nos then you 
could use the Planner and that would give you these details to then go 
through the procedure I have described above to obtain a timetable and a 
map.

Perhaps one of our experienced commuter members would have a better 
solution.
Happy journey.

 ColorSync Utility.app From finder select the Go menu, and

 In this folder you will find the ColorSync application.

 1. Open ColorSync.app
 2. Go to the File menu and select open. Find the pdf file you want

 3. You will see the first page of the pdf file in a 'preview

 4. Use the drop down menu to select Reduce File Size, and then
 click Apply.
 5. You can then close and save the document, which will now be a

 Hi Clive,

 Just adding to Carlo's comments.

 Open the PDF in Preview and then save it (as a PDF) again; the
 resulting file will usually be significantly smaller than the
 original with no difference in quality.

 Preview Save dialog includes, in the Quartz Filter pop-up menu, a
 Reduce File Size option.
 However, this option uses compression, so it reduces the quality
 of images and text in the resulting PDF.
 If you simply re-save a PDF, without this option, no compression
 occurs.

 How does this work if Preview isn’t actually compressing images?
 The program is simply using OS X’s built-in PDF-processing
 features to strip PDF files of all the unnecessary bits: preview
 images, metadata, and the like.
 This feature is especially useful for PDFs created in Adobe
 Illustrator and InDesign, which tend to be unnecessarily large
 because of program-specific components and other non-vital data
 these applications save inside each PDF.

 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Hi Clive,

 The effectiveness of compression of a PDF will vary wildly
 depending on the content. Large PDF files normally contain a
 large number of images or a few very large images. If you have
 access to the source of the PDF you can choose to compress the
 images at a lower resolution and thus cut down on the size
 dramatically. You can also purchase tools which will compress the
 images in a PDF even if you do not have the original source
 document.

3CXPhone

[Merv Bond]

Yesterday I installed the app 3CXPhone on my iPad 2. It is a free 
download from the Apple Store. I found the terminology in the setup a 
bit confusing but referring back to setting up my VoIP on my modem, and 
talking to my Windows son, I got it going. Checked it over the internet 
and local calls came through quite clearly. Same result when connected 
to the net via G3.
My mobile phone runs through Optus so when we go bush I have to buy a 
Telstra prepaid sim card. The sim card in my iPad is from Telstra so 
perhaps my iPad will become my country mobile. Looking forward to trying 
it out. Is anyone in the country using a phone app on iPad and if so 
what is the quality of performance?
Merv
PS There is 3CX Tunnel app which I downloaded but didn't use. My simple 
understanding of its function is that it helps in bypassing firewalls. 
At the moment the phone works fine without it.

Re: Cables: USB 3 - Firewire800

Thank you everyone for your responses. A dealer I spoke to suggested 
such a cable existed but they didn't have one in stock. However, having 
read all your responses I decided that if indeed it did exist there was 
the potential for unpleasant outcomes.

 But yes, I'd be a bit cautious. The other thing would be if you'd see any 
 real world speed difference. The USB3 would only be running at USB2 speed 
 as that is what the Mac would expect, so it's not going to convert to 
 Firewire speeds, so I think you'd still be gaining USB2 speeds anyway. So no 
 real improvement.
 I could be wrong here, but I also had the impression there were differing 
 data versus power consumptions through both a USB and Firewire cable. (ie 
 one pulls through or expects more power and data then the other). So wouldn't 
 want to fry anything if there was. Again, I could be wrong there,...

 Found this info as well, which may help with it...
 /quote
 Firewire is isochronous, basically meaning that you can pump clocked data 
 though it in real time. USB works more like TCPIP, with the data chopped up 
 into packets and later reassembled. (Thus, at a minimum, you have latency, 
 that is, the wait for the data to be put back together.) Second, the 
 Firewire protocol allows more direct address to memory (including mass 
 storage) with minimal intervention of the CPU.
 /end quote

 I can't lay my hands on the other info I thought I had and Siri can only do 
 so much when driving,..lol ;)

 Hi Merv and Peter,

 I would be wary of those connectors. Notice they are all on resale sites, 
 none are manufacturer sales. They could be fakes.

 As I said earlier, I don't believe it is possible to convert USB to Firewire 
 with just a simple pin-to-pin cable. USB used the PC as the bus master 
 whereas Firewire is a true peer-to-peer connection and required handshaking 
 signals back from the disk drive.

As mentioned on another thread I have purchased a 2TB WD My Book Studio

Re: Partitioning and bootable backup

[Merv Bond]

Thanks Ronni, Carlo and Bob.
 From your responses I gather that having made a GUID Partition Table I 
must then format each partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Have I got it right?

 Hi Merv,

 Just adding to Carlo’s reply.

 In order to boot from an Intel based or PPC based Mac, you may need to change 
 the partition map.
 The bootable partition Map for PPC is (APM) Apple Partition Map which is 
 Apples default.
 The Intel based Macs require (GUID) “GUID Partition Table to be bootable.

 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Yes, you can have as many bootable partitions as will fit on your drive. 
 Format the partitions as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use Carbon Copy 
 Cloner or SuperDuper to make bootable copies

Cables: USB 3 - Firewire800

[Merv Bond]

I have been looking on the net at cables, converters and hubs that boast 
connections between USB and firewire. My search is based on wishing to 
connect an external HD with USB3 sockets to my iMac which has a 
Firewire800 socket. Has anyone used such a cable and if so is the 
performance of a quality that is useful? Can a bootable external HD be 
achieved with such a device?

 The PDF  “Prepare For And Installation of Snow Leopard” explains how to

 If you wish to download the PDF go to the link below. Instructions how to

 Hi Merv,

 I certainly have not heard that Rosetta is no longer included on the SL 
 Retail DVD; unless Apple have changed this and not let anyone know.

 Rosetta and Quicktime 7 are both included on the Mac OS X 10.6 installation 
 DVD (that I purchased when SL was released), both are designated as 
 'Optional Installs' by default.

 Rosetta can be installed from the Optional Installs package installer 
 located in the Optional Installs folder on your Snow Leopard DVD.

 Or if you don’t install it;  just open any application which requires 
 Rosetta;  you'll get a prompt to install it if it's not already present and 
 it will download and install (if you are connected to the Internet); if you 
 are not connected to the Internet, you would then require the Install Disc.

 I just checked Apple Support site and they still have this:

 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html

 If you need to install Rosetta:

 To install Rosetta, follow one of the procedures below.

 If your computer is connected to the Internet:

 Click the Install button in the Rosetta dialog. Rosetta will be downloaded 
 and installed for you.

 If your computer is not connected to the Internet:

 1. Insert the Mac OS X installation disc that came with your computer or 
 your Mac OS X retail package.

 2. Double-click the Optional Installs folder, and then double-click the 
 Optional Installs package.

 A package has an icon that looks like an open box.

 3. Follow the onscreen instructions. Select the disk where you want to 
 install Rosetta and click Continue.

 4. Select the checkbox next to Rosetta, click Continue, and then click 
 Install.

 Hi Merv,

 As far as I know, you don't need the firewire port on the drive to be FW400
 - FW 800 is backward compatible.

 All you need is a FW400 to FW800 cable, depending on the drive you buy it
 may even be thrown in.

 When FW800 drives first came out, they tended to ship with both fw800
 fw400 ports (the first I bought was like this) - but then they just started
 shipping with fw800 ports and some suppliers threw in both fw800 cables and
 fw800 to fw400 cables (that's what I got with my second fw800 drive).

Portable HD Firewire 400

[Merv Bond]

We have an iMac Power PC G5 running OS X 10.4.11.
It has two Firewire ports, both 400.
HD capacity approx 500 GB.
I am searching for a like capacity portable HD with a firewire port but 
these days most of the devices are at least 1TB and only occasionally do 
they have a 400 port - obviously superseded.
However, if I purchase a 1TB HD, with a 400 Firewire port, can I 
partition it so that half of the disk is a viable bootable HD for the G5?
Your advice appreciated.

 To create a Bootable external drive for your Power PC you need to format the

 1. Make sure to copy any files on your external hard disk to another location 
 because reformatting will erase them.

 2. Click on your computer hard disk’s icon.
  Select Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility.

 3. In Disk Utility's left hand column, click on the Drive icon of your

  Make sure you click on the first icon, not the second level volume icon.

 4. Select the Partition tab.

 5. Select the Volume Scheme (  select 2 Partitions);  and Format type from

  Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (recommended).

 6. Enter the names you want for each of the partitions on the external drive

 possible, tend to be precisely the opposite, causing those of us who support 
 users to go through numerous hoops just to make these horrible web pages 
 work. And it's not just their web sites...

 As just one alarming example, I regularly receive, on behalf of a client, a 
 spreadsheet file containing report data from one of the largest health 
 insurance companies in the country (and yes, it's government-based - is that 
 enough clues?   : ) ). This file, which always comes from the same contact, 
 is created in MS Excel 95! Perhaps we can look forward to the day when they 
 upgrade to Windows 98...

If the radio broadcast is digital then you might be able to receive with 
a digital radio that has wifi. I enjoy baroque music and there is a 
station in Venice that is dedicated to such. Great. It has DAB as well 
but that is for local only. There are a number of different brands on 
the market, mine is a PURE One Mi.
Website: www.pure.com
The show does produce podcasts - would you be able to put those on your 
iPad?

 I was forced into opening a Facebook account, but it would only show 
 1994-2012 as my birth year. It seems to have accepted 1994 so I am an 8 year 
 old despite 17 being the minimum age to purchase the App. I decided I was not 
 compatible with iSwifter ( too old and thick) so I gave up and purchased 
 Photon.

 Photon works and I can listen to the archived shows. That is what I wanted. I 
 shall have to wait to get the confirmation of my purchases to find if I 
 actually purchased iSwifter as well.

 Transmit, by Panic, is one of the most popular Mac FTP apps. It has just seen

 I think Flux is an excellent application, at the top of the tree. For my 
 money, it is better in many ways than Dreamweaver, which for years has been 
 overpriced and bloated, and is still based on 20th century ideas. Flux 
 depends completely on CSS for its design techniques, and has full support 
 for all modern technologies, especially HTML5, jQuery, and many others. Like 
 Dreamweaver, it produces very clean code, and does not modify your original 
 code.

 The main caveat with Flux is that it is such a departure from more 
 conventional WYSIWYG Web Page designers that it does take quite a bit of 
 getting used to, but once you get used to it it becomes a pleasure to use. 
 Flux receives very regular updates from its developers, and is becoming 
 highly regarded in the development community, even though it doesn't seem to 
 get the same publicity that other software gets. I would definitely take 
 advantage of the discount.

Preface
---

   You are receiving this email because you purchased a product from
   Nolobe http://nolobe.com/ in the past.

   If you do not wish to receive mailings from us kindly click the
   link at the bottom of this email and accept our sincere apologies
   for taking your time. Once unsubscribed you won't receive any
   further mailings from us.


Introduction


   I'm Matthew Drayton, CEO and lead developer here at Nolobe. It
   has been a while since our last newsletter but we have big things
   planned for the year ahead.


New Year Savings - Interarchy 10 for $14.95
---

   If you haven't purchased Interarchy 10 there's no time like the
   present because for a limited time Interarchy is available $14.95.
   That is half off the normal price of $29.95.

   To purchase Interarchy 10 for $14.95 enter the coupon code
   HAPPYNEWYEAR2012 and save.

   http://nolobe.com/interarchy/buy?coupon=HAPPYNEWYEAR2012

   If you already have Interarchy 10 thank you very much for your
   past purchase. We would be honoured if you were to pass along the
   coupon, and a good word, to your friends.


Plans for 2012
--

   We had big plans for 2011 but like so much in life little went
   according to plan. I suffered a major back injury which slowed
   development on Interarchy somewhat. I'm hesitant to say I am back
   to 100% but I feel much better and am looking forward to spending
   a lot of time in front of Xcode.

   2012 marks my 12th year of working on Interarchy and am very much
   looking forward to showing you the next big update soon.
   Additionally we also have a new app, tentatively called Paste,
   which should be available next month.

   As always the above information is subject to change but it should
   give you an idea of what we are working on here at Nolobe and what
   our plans are moving forward.


Beta Testing


   We are looking for beta testers. Anyone with an Interarchy 10
   license and a Mac running OS X 10.7 or an iPhone or iPad running
   iOS 5 is welcome to take part. If you are interested please send
   an email to the following address along with the hardware UUIDs
   for any devices you wish to test on.

   That is all for the moment. Thank you for your time.

Firefox and MacFamilyTree

[Merv Bond]

I use MacFamilyTree (MFT). One can export web pages from MFT to the HD 
and view the pages with a browser. I have done this with Firefox for 
earlier versions of MFT. However, as from version 6 of MFT the content 
of the pages become transparently layered over each other. I can read 
the web pages correctly with Safari but I prefer Firefox. I have gone 
through the Firefox support and followed The websites look wrong 
suggestions without success. As yet I have not created a web site on the 
net so one can't view what I am experiencing. However, if some one is 
using MFT I'd be pleased to know whether they are successfully viewing 
the web pages from MFT with Firefox.

Printer monitor spontaneously launches

[Merv Bond]

For the past four or five day the Epson Printer Monitor has been 
launching at start up and after the computer has woken from sleep.
I have not played with system preferences or such so am not sure why 
this is happening.
Checking in Accounts and Login items the monitor is not there. Could it 
be there as an invisible file? I have done a couple of repair 
permissions and corresponding shut downs. The location of the original 
is: /Library-Printers-EPSON-InkjetPrinter-EPW-EPSON Printer Monitor.app

The printer is on my computer and shared with two other computers.

Intel iMac OS X 10.5.8
Multifunction Epson Stylus Office TX 600 FW

The problem is not fatal, but an irritation.

 unfortunately the files also have to be for the intel architecture rather 
 than ppc.  The files are actually quite small (around 1MB) so if anyone still 
 has an intel processor mac running 10.5.8 and doesn't mind sending me the 
 files off list via email then I'd really appreciate it.  I can still get the 
 files myself but I'd have to find where I put the old disk before doing all 
 the installs just to get them.

 The files can be found in /usr/lib/java
 A zipped java folder from that location would be perfect but it will only 
 work if it's from an intel install.

 Thanks

Do you now have the requested files?

 Thanks for your help Ronnie and Merv.  I'm sorry that I forgot to be more 
 specific on how to access the folder.  Ronnie's instructions were completely 
 correct.  In my searching I did find the instructions for the SL fix but I 
 couldn't find any information suggesting whether it would or wouldn't work 
 for Lion so I thought I'd give it a try.  I'm hoping the potential fix won't 
 cause any issues since it only involves adding some files rather than 
 replacing the one file that Lion has in that folder but I wouldn't dream of 
 playing around like that without a backup.  I have a time machine backup and 
 also another bootable HDD in case anything ever goes wrong.

 Hi Merv  Ruben,

 /usr/lib/java is a hidden file.

 1. Go to the Menu bar, click on Go, then select Go to folder

 3. In the dialogue that opens, type usr/lib/java” (without the quotation 
 marks).
 This will reveal your hidden usr files.


 I don’t know about issues/problems Ruben might create in his Lion OS X 
 10.7.2 installation if he installs the Leopard versions of Java.

 To get EyeHome to work in Snow Leopard there was this solution, but no-one 
 AFAIK has got EyeHome working in Lion.
 The EyeHome Software 8.1 was the last release in 2006. EyeHome has not been 
 supported since then.

 If Ruben wants the solution for getting EyeHome to work in Snow Leopard, 
 post back and I’ll include it.

 Cheers,
 Ronni

 If usr means user then using that path I don't reach a java file.
 There are lots of jar files etc when I do a search.  Also found a disk

 120.3 MB so can't send that.
 Any other clues for locating the file?

Sorry I have not responded earlier. I have had some appointments and

 You have not got back with anymore information so you might have got the USB

 If not, try this:
 Go to:http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=502

 1. Download and Install the driver: USB(RT257X/RT2671/RT2500)
 2. Plug in USB Device.
  The Ralink Wireless Utility will open, in about 20 seconds it should 
 detect the device: connected.
 3. You should also set up a profile in the utility.
  Just add and activate.

 4. Then open Network Prefs, Network Port Configurations, and Hit Apply.
  A new port should show; Ethernet Adapter (en2).
 5. Select SHOW in the Network Prefs and check Ethernet Adapter (en2).
 6. Hit APPLY.
  The TCP/IP info should show IP address/Subnet/Router connections.

 Normally these USB Wireless Adapters have very specific instructions about

 Either to install all the software first and then connect the USB device or 
 vice versa.

 Perhaps uninstall everything, disconnect  the USB device and start over.
 Perhaps try installing the drivers before connecting the device?

Hi Ronni and List Folk
Ronni, to do a test run on my iPad 2 I visited the first site that you 
listed: How to Enable Airprint for Windows and Use any Printer and 
downloaded and installed an application called 'AirActivator'
I printed a Pages document - fine.
Inserted a photograph in the Pages document and printed - fine.
Tried to print a photograph not in a document - timed out.

I next visited the teckrepublic site mentioned below.
Same experience except that with the photo I got an error message 
Document type not supported. It was a jpg and the downloaded 
application 'PrintCentralPro' listed jpgs as acceptable.

Has anyone had experience with either of these applications, or an 
alternative, and successfully printed photos?

 Hi Merv,
 
 I have never used this app or don’t know much about Filterstorm 3 other than 
 reading a few reviews and also about Filterstorm Pro.
 
 Exporting Images
 
 To export images, go to the 'export' tab (iPad) or tap the bottom icon in the 
 main menu to bring up the export screen (iPhone), and tap on the destinations 
 in the list you wish to check them. At this point, tapping the Send Photos 
 button will begin processing and transferring all the selected photos to all 
 the selected destinations.
 
 The Delivery Settings button will bring up a popover giving you options to 
 scale all the images you're sending to fit into a certain pixel-sized box. 
 You can also set the maximum size here. If you don't need extremely high 
 resolution output, you can speed up the processing time by lowering the 
 maximum size. You can also choose the JPEG quality, higher means larger file 
 sizes, smaller means worse quality. 
 Somewhere around 80% is usually a good compromise between the two. Finally 
 you can set the option to confirm these settings each time before export.”

Tried one sequence after another with no success. Eventually gave up and 
downloaded Photogene. Worked a charm.
Thank you for your response. On a forum some comments were to the effect that 
Filterstorm has been good but is now getting a bit tired.

 Well People,
 
 I’m absolutely loving using all the great new wonderful features and what the 
 iPhone 4S and iOS 5 can do for me. 
 I expect all these new features to have a load on the processor and drain the 
 battery quicker than other phones.
 
 Locations Services, Notifications, SIRI  Apps like Weather app are all going 
 to drain the battery quicker than other phones.
 
 If you are worried about draining the battery, and don’t mind missing out on 
 all these great features that you have paid for; turn off services you don’t 
 use. 
 I’m not sure if I posted this before to WAMUG, I know I did to GMUG.
 
 Here Are 10 Ways To Improve Battery Life On The iPhone 4S:
 
 1. Location services in Settings  Location Services and switch it to off for 
 apps where location services aren’t important. 
 Having all your apps use GPS will quickly drain your battery.
 
 2. Turn off Wi-Fi when you aren’t using it in Settings  Wi-Fi and switch it 
 to off.
 
 3. Turn Off  Bluetooth  in Settings  General  Bluetooth.
 
 4.Turn off push data in Settings  Mail, Contacts, and Calendars  Fetch New 
 Data  and turn Push Off.
 Fetching data at longer intervals will give you some extra battery life. Even 
 more so if you do it manually. 
 
 Some apps, such as Facebook, have push notification settings in Setting  
 [Facebook]. The brackets indicate the app name.
 
 5. Turn off vibration in Settings  Sounds and switch Vibrate to off.

 On each account screen, you can see the number of unread messages in

 Tap a mailbox to see its messages. Unread messages have a blue dot

 If you have more than one mail account, tap Mailboxes to switch between

 If you haven't already downloaded it, I'd recommend getting iBooks from

successfully. However, on connecting to iPad I couldn't find an Address 
Book - am I correct in assuming I use the Contacts file. If so, I can't 
see a ready way to sync it with my Address Book. No doubt it is senile 
blindness, but guidance appreciated.

 Hi Merv

 Import into the Address Book on the computer, then (assuming you're syncing 
 this already), sync the iPad via iTunes. Data will transfer across from the 
 Address Book on the computer to the iPad.
 (If not already syncing the Address Book then once the iPad is plugged in, go 
 to the iPad (under Devices) then to the Info Tab and tick on Address Book.).

 A note with .csv files. Just be wary with some of it, as they can need a 
 tidy up and some of the info doesn't always get read well. So pays to go 
 through and clean up the Address book after the csv import before syncing 
 with iPad.

 Also, make sure you've got a good backup of Address Book before you start. 
 (User folder - Library - Application Support - AddressBook is where all the 
 data is stored.). I normally make a copy of that onto a drive or desktop 
 before I start. :))

 Easy :)

 Kind regards
 Daniel

 Sometime you can get lucky by eMailing the file to your iPad and seeing 
 wqhat app tries to open the attachment,

  From my address book in Thunderbird I have created a csv file.
 Is there a way of importing the file to Contacts on an iPad?
 I assumed that it might be through iTunes but the Library doesn't have a
 location for files.
 Using iTunes 10.4.1 on an intel iMac running 10.5.8
 iPad2 has max memory etc running on iOS 4.3
 Advice appreciated.

If I download photos from my camera to my iPad2 using the cable 
accessory then can I download from the iPad 2 to my computer into Image 
Capture?
iPad2 running iOS 4.3

 I would be grateful for some advice.  We use our computer mainly for word

 solitaire and who knows, one day I may expand to scrabble and backgammon:-)
No films or videos. Currently I cannot update Adobe flash and Addobe Air
 because our operating system does not support the new versions.

 We have a four year old Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 running Leopard; 1GB Memory.
 152 Gb space remaining.

 Should we update to Snow Leopard/Lion or is it time to update the computer
 keeping in mind the relatively limited use and no iphone or ipad  likely to
 be acquired?

Fwd: What's New in FMS 4.5

[Merv Bond]

Toward the bottom of this FlashNewz.com email is an item about a meeting 
of the Flash Media Server Users Group at which cross-platform matters 
will be discussed including iOS. Having only just acquired an iPad I am 
a babe in the woods on this topic but new adopters might find it of 
interest.
