Re: [WAMUG] Recording a video of my screen

[Mike Murray via WAMUG]

QuickTime Player…"new screen recording" Various options include full screen, 
parts of the screen. Make sure you check save on desktop. Stop recording by 
finding the tiny little ’stop’ button that appears in the menu bar (took me 
gaes to work out how to stop). Saves on your desktop as ’screen recording 
..time”. Edit in iMovie. 

Cheers
Mike

Re: [WAMUG} Are You Receiving??

Hi Ronni and list managers

I replied to the mailing list so the list is showing your messages and also 
showing responses to your message (which you are seeing). But you’re still not 
seeing what you originally sent to the list?

Over to the Peters I think!

Re: Steve Jobs R.I.P

[Mike Murray]

RIP indeed.

Watched the Netflix doco “The Social Dilemma” the other night…Steve pops up for 
a few seconds waving an iPhone which was the start of it all.
All the rest of the California heavies were pilloried - Steve’s name was never 
mentioned again.

Worth watching if you haven’t seen it.

Strange screen behaviour waking after sleep

[Mike Murray]

Hi wamuggers

For a few weeks now (starting before I upgraded to 10.15), when I wake my iMac 
from sleep it comes alive normally, then goes black for about 2-3 secs then 
lights up again, very bright, then gradually fades back to the normal 
brightness setting.

After looking at various forums I have:
uninstalled and discarded all evidence of Google Chrome 
reset the PMC 
reset the NVRAM (Command opt P R)
Any suggestions? Is this a hard disk failure pre-announcing itself? (Backups 
working happily)

iMac 27in, late 2013, Catalina 10.15.2

Cheers
Mike

Re: Time to Upgrade to Catalina Yet?

[Mike Murray]

Suggest you hold off if you like music or home videos.
I’ve upgraded and am having troubles getting my iTunes library in the shape I 
want it, also home videos can’t be seen on the TV, now garageband has glitches. 
All the normal essential things seem to be working OK, but the so-called 
’creatives’ (which Apple was renowned for supporting) are having widely 
discussed issues.

Re: iPhone SE

We’ve had one for a year or so. Excellent phone and apparently responds well to

Re: Print to pdf problem - FIXED

[Mike Murray]

Re my earlier email (below).

The villain was a new brother printer!
Somehow it was over-riding the ‘print to pdf’ function and insisting that the 
page size needed to be A4 or smaller.
Changing the preferred printer to one of my others now allows me to do as I’ve 
always done.

Carry on, all’s well again.

Cheers
Mike

Print to pdf problem - has something changed?

[Mike Murray]

Hi muggers

For many years I’ve created large family tree charts in Reunion, using the page 
setup function to specify the page size, then saved them as PDFs using the 
Print/save as PDF function. Officeworks then happily prints the files direct 
from the correctly sized PDF file.

Today for the first time I can’t do that…the print dialogue says ‘invalid page 
size’ and the suggested page size is greyed out unless I tick the scale to size 
box, then only shows page sizes that my attached printers will print. The 
resulting PDF files are reduced to the printer files, which is no good (scaling 
them up again gets all the shadowing wrong).

This seems to be a change in something…has anyone else had that problem? Is 
there a fix?

iMac 27in, late 2013; Sierra 10.12.5

Cheers
Mike

Re: Can someone please advise if I have paid my current year's subscription.

[Mike Murray]

Ah ha!

Now I understand why my last email to the list never made it …I’d forgotten to 
resubscribe.

I’m sure you did it, but maybe a reminder email late January to jog our aging 
minds would help the cash flow?

(Hopefully this will make it as I’ve just paid my dues!)

This is eerie, like watching an end of the world as we know it movie...I have 
always been aware of the fearsome monster called Ma...er and here it is, being 
carefully expunged as we observe with bated breath. Will the dragon be slain? 
Will Ronni prevail with her detailed instructions?
This is the stuff of folklore, where we sit round the fire at night and tell 
our kids..."once upon a time there was a man who downloaded an app called"

Hi Diane

The album was a freebie from Apple in 2014. We all got one. Bono later 
apologised for foisting on itune users.

You can remove it - see this https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201396

Desktop icons flash on and off every minute

[Mike Murray]

Hi muggers

Interesting phenomenon which I think we’ve fixed without understanding why. No 
urgency, curiosity mainly.

In the last day or so, my the desktop icons on my wife’s iMac (21.5 in late 
2013 model, running 10.9.5) would sometimes disappear, then come back again. 
She feared some sort of virus.

Troubleshooting today, I hunted through the Finder and System preferences, and 
switched off spring-loaded folders, which seemed to have some effect (maybe my 
imagination?), but the situation settled down into a regular brief (half a 
second?) flashing on and off of the icons exactly every minute. 

Using activity monitor we spotted a network signal coming from Google Drive at 
the instant the icons disappeared, so we terminated Google Drive and now 
everything seems normal.

Has anyone had a similar experience with Google Drive? What could cause this 
behaviour?

Cheers

Mike

 Hi Mike,
 
 Yes, this was a know problem with Google Drive in Mavericks.
 Some OS X Mavericks users have been reporting for months that their desktop 
 icons will “flash” or “blink” — disappear and then quickly reappear — 
 randomly every few minutes. This phenomenon also seems to be related to 
 occasional Finder crashes.
 
 Members of the Apple Support Communities forum discovered 
 https://discussions.apple.com/message/23672822#23672822 that a common 
 factor among most of these reported issues is the Google Drive OS X app 
 which, like Dropbox, lives in your Menu Bar and handles the synchronization 
 of the files in your Google Drive folder. Quitting the app, or uninstalling 
 it completely, solved https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5528471 the 
 flashing desktop icon problem for most users.
 
 But if you need regular access to Google Drive, the solution above doesn’t 
 really help. Perplexed as to why this issue was only happening for Google 
 Drive users on OS X Mavericks (earlier versions of OS X were not affected), 
 it was soon discovered that a Mavericks-exclusive feature, App Nap, was to 
 blame and that disabling App Nap for the Google Drive app was a nearly 
 universal solution.
 
 You can disable App Nap 
 http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/disable-app-nap-os-x-mavericks/ for Google 
 Drive in the same way that you’d do it for most other third party OS X apps. 
 Open a new Finder window and navigate to your Applications folder. Find the 
 Google Drive app, right-click, and select Get Info. In the Info window, find 
 the section at the top labeled General and then check the Prevent App Nap box.
 
 Cheers,   
  Ronni

 This is my first venture into Plus7 (Ch7) occasioned by the heinous sin of 
 forgetting to record Downton Abbey last Sunday and life is less than rosy 
 until I make good.   
 There is clearly a difference with Plus7 and I am sure the answer is simple.  
 I have checked every pushable button on the Apple TV with no effect.

Re: Christmas Greetings

[Mike Murray]

Can I add my ‘me too’ thanks to everyone who contributes to the group, with 
special thanks to Ronni, whose patience knows no (well, few) bounds.

I sometimes find myself clenching my teeth when I see queries on the list which 
could be readily resolved by a quick look at the Apple support pages (or just a 
Google), but good ol’ Ronni patiently explains the facts to everyone. Once.

Very best wishes to all and let’s not ask too many questions for the next week 
or two. Relax.

Cheers

Mike

Re: Emailing videos and photos

[Mike Murray]

Dropbox. Free download.

This is how I use it...
Put clips into your deopbox folder, then save the 'paper clip' link ( a unique 
URL) and paste it into an email to the crew. They can then access the clips 
themselves without having dropbox or accessing your computer.

Cheers

 Hi All
 
 Hope everyone's enjoying their Sunday!
 
 After a long process I've finally got a list together of some items I'm 
 clearing out.
 
 Quite a lot are Brand New Condition, still shrink wrapped and never used! 
 Others are in excellent condition, either used once (or traded in and tested).
 
 There's some very good pricing on most of it I feel, so grab a bargain before 
 someone else does! :o)
 Most items are one only, so once it's gone,..it's gone I'm afraid.
 
 If you need more info on any of the items please feel free to contact me.
 
 The full list can be downloaded as a PDF from here:-
 http://www.macwizardry.com.au/specials/clearance-items/
 (thought that easier then a massively long post to wade through in an email) 
 :o)
 
 There's Hard Drives, RAM, Apple gear and lots of extras. 
 Something not on the list you're after? Well, drop me an email and I'll see 
 if I've got it lying around as well, or can get it in at a good price for you.
 
 
 Thanks for looking!
 
 Kind regards

Re: [OT] Passing of Ian Reid

[Mike Murray]

Hi Daniel, WAMUG

At the meeting we attended a couple of months ago I had a great chat with Ian - 
turns out we were both at Whyalla (South Australia) in the 1960s/70s. 
Subsequently we had a few interchanges about the new Reunion 10 which he was 
grappling with. 

Sad to hear of his sudden demise - please pass on our condolences to his family.

 I hope every one doesn't mind my off topic post, but I just wanted to let 
 WAMUG know that unfortunately Ian Reid past away a couple of weeks ago quite 
 suddenly.
 Ian was a frequent poster to wamug and a regular for many years to the 
 meetings themselves, always eager to learn and listen (even if he didn't 
 follow it all or understand as he used to say to me).
 And he aways appreciated the help and responses to his queries on list.
 
 Ian was always a great lover of Mac for as long as I can remember and knew 
 him, and always was a lovely cheerful gentleman, and I know others knew him 
 either via list or meetings.
 I'm sure he'll be having some great chats with Steve ;o)
 
 I'll be meeting with his wife on Tuesday, so will pass on wamug 
 condolences
 
 Just thought I would let others know.

Membership - well worth it to me!

[Mike Murray]

Hi Muggers

I have a folder in my mailbox called Mac stuff to keep and I just had a look at 
it...it dates from 2000 (when I had a G3 powerbook running 8.5) and there are 
many precious hints in there, (like what to do when the Sylewriter's waste ink 
tanks fill up) which I've kept in case I ever need to refer to them. I know 
that Ronni's hints and exhortations about backup are there when I need them. 
I've noticed that expert people wax and wane over time (Otto?Shay?) and it's 
great that there seems to be a continual source of helpful folks around to keep 
us all going.

Reflecting on all this golden information, I can't for the life of me begrudge 
WAMUG the annual fees (lees than a carton, folks). I've learned heaps through 
the interchange of problems/options/solutions that have been a constant 
workshop for the non-techies like me.

All power to you, WAMUG, long may we thrive.

Cheers

Mike

Re: Upgrading to Reunion v10

[Mike Murray]

Hi Ian

I tried to send you an email with screen shots but it bounced. I think you're 
just about there.
When you say 'the older version keeps coming up that's what's supposed to 
happen. 
From within Reunion 10 open the file you want to convert and another screen 
comes up saying Convert.
Choose where you want it to be saved and voila - success.

 Hi Ian,
 
 Did you backup your Reunion 9 files before updating?
 
   It is scheduled for Sunday nights, so I presume it happened.
 
 Are these the instructions you have followed to update your Family Files?
 
   Yes
 
 Step 5 is where you have your old family file 'highlighted' in the window and 
 you click 'open'
 Step 6 is where 'Upgrade Family File' appears.
 
   Correct
 -
 If you previously used Reunion 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 you'll need to upgrade (or 
 convert) your family files to the new Reunion 10 file format. Follow the 
 steps below.
 
 Open the Reunion 10 application by double-clicking the Reunion 10 icon in 
 your Applications folder.
 If you downloaded Reunion 10, a window will ask for the license information 
 you received by email after purchasing Reunion. Enter your User Name and 
 License Code and then click Enter License Code
 A window titled Open should appear. If not, choose File - Open.
 Select your old Reunion family file. You may need to navigate through your 
 folders to locate your old family files. Most likely, your family files are 
 located inside an old Reunion folder. If you're upgrading from version 8, the 
 Reunion 8 folder is probably inside the Applications folder. If the name of 
 your old family file is gray in the Open window list, then click Cancel,
 
   Done.
 
 find your family file in the Finder, and rename your family file using an 
 extension of .familyfile (for example: My Family File.familyfile)
 
   it was on the desktop and I renamed it
 
 When you have your older version family file highlighted in the window, click 
 Open.
 
   Done, and all that happens is that the older Version keeps coming up, 
 Maybe I am misreading something.
 
 I haven't entered a great amount of data into Reunion yet and it would not be 
 too onerous to just re-enter it intoversion 10. Anyway, thanks for your 
 comments. Thanks also for your advice some time ago about giving my MacBook 
 Pro time to wake up. It worked.
 
 Regards
 
 Ian.
 
 A window titled Upgrade Family File will appear. You'll be asked to name 
 the new, converted family file.
 Click Convert and Reunion will create a new, version 10 family file and open 
 it for you. Your old family file will not be changed in any way. The 
 information in your new family file will be the same as the information in 
 your old family file.
 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Under Answers. How do I upgrade a family file from an earlier version , I 
 continue to get stuck at Point 5. Instead of the Upgrade family File, all 
 I get is the old version. I reckon I am following instructions  but 
 obviously am not.

 Hi People,
 
 Nine Minutes of history...
 
 Watch Steve Jobs play FDR in Apple's long-lost takeoff on famous '1984' 
 Macintosh TV commercial
 Nine-minute film called '1944' was produced to inspire Apple sales team to 
 take on IBM
 
 http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/80448
 
 If all you want to see is Steve Jobs playfully portraying Franklin Delano 
 Roosevelt - right down to the cigarette holder - here's that short clip 
 before we get to the longer version of the film that it's taken from and an 
 explanation:
 
 Entitled 1944, the almost 9-minute full version was Apple's in-house 
 takeoff on 1984, the iconicfirst Macintosh TV ad that caused a sensation 
 during that year's Super Bowl. Set as a World War II tale of good vs. IBM, it 
 is a broadcast-quality production (said to have cost $50,000) that was 
 designed to fire up Apple's international sales force at a 1984 meeting in 
 Hawaii. A copy of 1944 was provided to me by one-time Apple employee Craig 
 Elliott, now CEO of Pertino Networks, a cloud-computing startup located two 
 blocks from Apple in Cupertino.
 
 Elliott, who worked at Apple from 1985 to 1996, says he has never seen (the 
 film) anywhere else and that there has been no additional circulation as 
 far as he knows. I couldn't find it online, either - the year 1984 was 
 pre-World Wide Web, of course -- which doesn't mean it isn't out there. Two 
 snippets from 1944, without any dialogue, do appear in another Jobs video - 
 a photo-montage tribute to him made by Apple employees to mark his 30th 
 birthday. After Jobs died last October, Elliott posted that birthday video to 
 his Facebook page, from where it went viral before being knocked off the 'Net 
 by Sony Music Entertainment because it used a Bob Dylan song.

 Ronni

 Hi Blitto,
 
 Ronni (as usual) has given you lots of good stuff and links to more - so I
 won't try to add to the general stuff.
 
 With regard to your specific query re the phone version:
 
 Another question: if i load the dropbox ap on my iphone - will ALL the
 stuff
 somehow sync to the phone as well??? But there isnt enough
 room.Or does the
 phone ap just look for the stuff on the website???
 
 Dropbox is (I think) particularly good here - as you browse, it downloads
 the index so that your phone sees all the documents in your dropbox folder
 in the cloud - but it doesn't try to download them all and fill up your
 phone :o)
 
 What happens is if you try and access one of the documents, it downloads
 that specific document so you can use it but, by default, it doesn't keep
 it.
 
 However, if you WANT that specific document on your phone you can hit the
 favourites button and the document will then be kept on the phone.
 
 I found this particularly useful on our overseas trip where we usually had
 wi-fi at the hotel but not out-and-about - prior to our trip I put lots of
 useful info (walks, transport maps  timetables etc) into dropbox then when
 we got to a new city I would get the info when I was wi-fi connected and
 mark as favorite to keep it on the phone for when we were out of wi-fi
 contact.
 
 It worked really well.

 Hi WAMUGersTrying to get my head around Dropbox.
 I use it to share files with
 people or to send the school magazine to
 the printer etc.BUT i am thinking
 maybe i can use it to sync stuff
 between my macs.Particularly my School
 Macbook Pro running Snow
 Leopard and my personal MacBook Air running
 Lion.There are a couple of
 files i might like to use on both these computers
 eg Word and Excel
 files (like bank balances, password reminders, timelogs in
 excel,
 maybe articles i am writing etc)These days i try to remember to
 swap
 them back form the laptop with the newer version to the computer with
 the
 older version etc.
 So - does it seem I can use Dropbox to do this?BUT - does
 that mean
 they can no longer reside where they currently do eg MacHD,
 Users,
 Blitto, Documents, Rod Personal folder???Do i have to shift
 them
 to  MacHD, Users, Blitto, Dropbox   if i want them to sync
 between
 laptops?So IF that is true I suppose I could create
 aliases for these
 documents back in the original places they used to
 live and point the alises
 at the Dropbox folder
 Please - Am I on the right track here???
 Another
 question: if i load the dropbox ap on my iphone - will ALL the
 stuff somehow
 sync to the phone as well??? But there isnt enough
 room.Or does the phone ap
 just look for the stuff on the website???
 Finally - is the Dropbox site secure
 enough to be putting my personal
 files on?
 Yes - have looked over the dropbox
 tutorials and help a bit this
 morning
 Many thanks

 Before posting this, I sent a test message to pe...@civitech.com.au to check

 how is sandvox classified as web/html editor?
 James
 
 
 Sandvox is a completely different animal from Flux. While an excellent 
 product in its own right, Sandvox is far more limiting if you are used to 
 doing a lot of hand coding and tweaking. It's a bit like comparing Bento with 
 Filemaker Pro. Sandvox relies heavily on ready-made templates, and any 
 modifications you make are tightly confined within the constraints of those 
 templates, which mean that you do not have complete freedom on where 
 particular elements might appear on the page. The secret to using Sandvox is 
 in discovering the right template for your concept, and fortunately there is 
 a huge variety to choose from, either built in to the software (over 50 come 
 with the application) or purchased from a a small but healthy cottage 
 industry online environment.
 
 The upside of Sandvox however, is compelling. Any change to make to a key 
 element of your site, such as a header or a footer, for example, is instantly 
 updated across your entire site. You can change to a different template 
 design, and your whole site changes to the new design. It's similar in 
 concept to RapidWeaver or iWeb in that regard, but with clear advantages over 
 both, IMHO.
 
 Flux, OTOH, is much more of a coder's playground. Sandvox required almost no 
 technical knowledge whatsoever, whereas with Flux, the more you understand 
 CSS, HTML and Javascript, the easier and clearer it becomes.  Sandvox does 
 allow a limited amount of html coding, and there are tools available which 
 allow you to modify the background CSS, but this tends to defeat the 
 simplicity of the application.

 Hi Chris,
 
 As you have paired the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 before with your TelstraT90, 
 you must delete all info on the BlueAnt ST3 before trying to Pair it with 
 your new iPhone 4S.
 If you have not done this, delete all info before following the 
 instructions below:
 
 1. Make sure the Supertooth 3 is turned off.
 You can tell if the Supertooth 3 is on or off by looking at the light on 
 the front. If the light is on or flashing, then the Supertooth 3 is on: 
 turn it off by holding down the Multi-Function button (the green button) 
 for about 5 seconds, until you hear the voice announce that the Supertooth 
 3 is powering down.
 
 2. With the Supertooth 3 off, hold down the Multi-Function button for 
 about 6 seconds, until the light on the front of the unit starts flashing 
 red and blue.
 
 3. The Supertooth 3 will now prompt you to select your language: press the 
 Multi-Function button when you hear your language spoken.
 
 4. The Supertooth 3 is now in pairing mode.
 You now need to activate Bluetooth on your phone, and use your phone's 
 Bluetooth menu to search for devices.
 
 Now you need to use your iPhone to search for Bluetooth devices:
 
 1. Select Settings.
 2. Select General.
 3. Select Bluetooth.
 4. Wait for your phone to search for devices, then select your BlueAnt 
 device from the list.
 5. If you are prompted for a PIN, enter  (four zeros).
 6. Select Connect.
 Your BlueAnt device is now paired… hopefully ;-)
 
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Old Super 8 to digital

[Mike Murray]

I too have done this...

Super 8 projector, Panasonic HDC-HS700 video camera (on a tripod).
Recorded a series of movies being watched by a group of people who were there - 
sound effects of the comments (and the projector ticking over) was great, also 
edited a silent version with music and a few titles. Put both onto a DVD for 
the participants, everyone thought it was fabulous.

Quality of the movie was as variable as the real thing, but a very faithful 
reproduction.

 Hi Muggers
 
 I have recently been thinking of getting the very old Super 8 reel movies 
 (3 minutes each) converted to digital for this christmas as we are having 
 the whole family down and I wanted to be able to show some of the old 
 family footage taken by my Grandfather. 
 
 Can anyone suggest how I might be able to do the transfer to digital given 
 this medium is ancient!!
 
 I asked at the local computer store in Dunsborough and they said various 
 firms can do it (charging $ accordingly) by using an old projector to run 
 the film, and have a digital camera to record the scene from the projected 
 image on a wall or other? 
 
 Would that work ok as I was thinking of using my Canon 5D with 50ml lens to 
 record then downloading to my MBPro for iMovie?
 
 Any advice welcomed

Re: Steve Jobs

[Mike Murray]

When you look around the computer world and think about everything Steve has 
initiated it's really awe-inspiring. 

I was particularly impressed when I saw the address he gave to college students 
some years ago where he said that, after he dropped out of 'official' college 
himself, he attended a class on calligraphy and learned all about fonts, 
kerning, typace design...and this inspired him to develop WISIWYG glorious 
looking fonts on the early Lisa and Macs - and of course was eventually copied 
by Microsoft and everyone else.

A great loss of a fabulous contributor to our lives.

Re: Conflict with Disc Emulator Software

[Mike Murray]

Hi Diana

Does  the CD run on a real PC with Windows 7? It was released in 2004 I think. 
Some of my older Family History CDs won't run on Vista...I keep a laptop 
running Windows98 just to access the stuff!

For the record – 'sticky key' on iPad2

[Mike Murray]

Hi muggers

I've had an odd problem with my new iPad2 over recent days - weirdly the thing 
started to do things by itself, like open the mail app, start typing out email 
addresses, consistently using the letters V, T and F and lots of spaces.

Others apps started to behave strangely as well. All this was intermittent and 
not at all predictable.

I reset the thing a number of times which seemed to improve it, but eventually 
I decided I had a hardware problem located around the keys V, F and T (in 
landscape mode). Sometimes when I hit one of those keys they would repeat up to 
a dozen times. In portrait mode it was perfect. So a touch screen fault of some 
sort.

I did find one reference to a similar problem in one of the forums, but 
certainly nothing to indicate it's an issue with them. I didn't bother raising 
it here as it seemed to be a rare event. But I will now so the problem and 
solution are here in the archives.

Took it into the Apple Store today and managed to replicate the problem to one 
of the geniuses - presto, new iPad, no question. Great service.

Thanks Apple

Cheers
Mike

Re: final cut pro

[Mike Murray]

Hi James

I agree with Carlo's analysis.

I'm exploring FCP X (and Motion and Compressor) and finding that it's 
excellent, intuitive and powerful so far, with plenty of upside 
promised/rumoured. I'm creating camera archives of all my digital DV tapes 
through its archiving procedure which is just a little flaky (sometimes the 
process 'hangs' at the last clip on the tape; sometimes it doesn't). The 
archives are 'skimmable' through FCP X which opens up a whole new world of 
video that I'd forgotten I had.

I think it's going to be a great product, but I agree that the big film/TV 
producers have been left high and dry and are shouting loudly. The 'support' 
discussion groups are ringing with shrill comments about the end of 
civilisation as they know it...

But the products worth trying out...you can still run earlier versions of Final 
Cut (Pro and Express), although the installation will move your old Final Cut 
Pro to a new folder. You'll need to keep these old versions, especially if you 
need to rework projects. FCP X won't open existing Final Cut projects, but will 
open .mov files (and many others), so you can always export a Final Cut project 
as a .mov file and open it with FCP X.

Cheers
Mike

 Hi James,
 
 I have tried the latest version of Final Cut Pro X and it is very polished, 
 functional and intuitive. For a, so-called, prosumer product it is excellent. 
 The complaints are coming from professional studios who have lost some of the 
 features that they had in Final Cut Pro 7 Studio, the previous version of the 
 product. The previous version of FCP has been declared end-of-life. The main 
 problems are that FCP X will not import projects from the old version, does 
 not have support for multiple cameras (filming simultaneously as is done in a 
 feature film), will not support the Camera Red system, and has lost support 
 for some professional codecs.
 
 The new product is being likened to Apples introduction of OS X, which was at 
 first less functional that OS 9 but which had an eye on the future. Others 
 think that Apple is abandoning the professional market, which is a small 
 niche, in favour of the much larger prosumer market. Apple for its part does 
 not seem to be backing down and is offering a refund to disgruntled buyers of 
 FCP X. It has promised that multiple camera support will be offered in an 
 upgrade.
 
 I am following the debate with interest and am sure there is a team of 
 developers somewhere on the Apple campus putting in some all-nighters. :-)

Canon MP640 as a scanner

[Mike Murray]

Hi Rosie

I have one of those and it works perfectly with vuescan. Available at 
http://www.hamrick.com. I bought it years ago and, with free unlimited updates 
it's worked on all the scanners I've ever had. 

I agree the Canon driver is not good. But the scanner works well.

 Hi Alex
 
 Although a different model, my experience with a Canon Pixma MP640's scanner 
 has been impossible.  According to the specs, this unit should scan, copy and 
 print okay on my iMac (OSX 10.4.11), via WIFI setup. I've set it up with 
 Airport, and I will say that the printer works seamlessly. However the 
 scanner will not work wirelessly at all.  I have spent a couple of hours on 
 the phone to Canon techs, on a couple of different occasions. I have have 
 uninstalled and reinstalled both by myself, and with the techs on standby.  
 Even they can't explain why the scanning function won't work wirelessly, but 
 will only work when using a cable connection.
 
 After spending many hours trying to sort this problem out without success, 
 I've given up, and don't use the scanner function at all.  I did ask the 
 tech's and also sent an email to Canon, requesting that they have the ethical 
 courtesy to alert both Mac users and printer salespersons that this problem 
 exists = (particularly if using Mac OSX  10.4.11).  However I don't believe 
 anything eventuated from this request.
 
 Hopefully, list members will be able to provide information about a good MFP 
 unit with good scanning functions. Alternatively, if possible, before buying 
 another printer (particularly Canon), try to see the model that you want, 
 actually set up to a Mac, and see all functions working as you would wish, 
 before parting with your hard-earned cash.

 Instead, if you want to fully quit an application, press and hold it until 
 the icon jiggles, and then press the X and the full application process 
 will shut down.
 
 I just checked this and with the iPad iOS4 if you press the X it will delete

 Hi all, a colleague of mine had an iPad and he has just upgraded his iPad to 
 the new OS4.2.
  
 He really likes the new folder function and multitasking feature!
  
 However he has noticed a couple of things:
  
 1. His 3G signal strength indicator no longer displays as full strength 
 it Won't show the last bar.
 This is strange as he still uses the iPad in the exact same position 
 prior the upgrade and always had full strength!
  
 1. You could suggest he try this:
 
 Bring up the Settings app
  Set Airplane Mode on for a short period, then turn it back 
 off.
  Under General, choose Reset then select Reset Network
  Confirm that you want to reset all network settings
  Power the iPad completely off then turn it back on
  
 2. The other thing he has noticed is the power consumption seems to 
 deplete more rapidly as before the upgrade.
 Not too sure if this is linked to the multitasking aspect, he has 
 tried looking at which apps are open and
 ensuring that they are closed down just in case that maybe the 
 issue.
  
 2. To see what is running in the background, press the home key twice. You 
 will see up to four background apps in the bottom of the display, scroll 
 right to see what else is running. He could be surprised, I know I was when 
 I checked ;-)
 
 Having multiple applications running at the same time will obviously drain 
 the battery to a greater extent when the device is in use, but when the 
 device is in sleep mode, the applications should be suspended; however, 
 people have found that quitting them all before putting the device to sleep 
 seems to solve the low-battery-life problem.
 
 It is possible that even though the applications are suspended, their being 
 active when the device is put to sleep may prevent some hardware components 
 such as the Wi-Fi adapter from being put to sleep at the same time. This may 
 result in items like the Wi-Fi adapter staying active during sleep, and may 
 also be a reason why when people specifically turn off Wi-Fi before sleep, 
 that the battery level no longer drains rapidly.
 
 Most people run applications and then press the home button to quit them and 
 run alternative applications, but this does not fully quit the application. 
 Instead, if you want to fully quit an application, press and hold it until 
 the icon jiggles, and then press the X and the full application process will 
 shut down.
 
  
 Anyone with any similar experiences or explanations since upgrading their 
 iPad OS?

Slightly OT - Video cameras and sound gear

[Mike Murray]

Hi muggers

I know there are a few of you out there doing video editing and production on 
their Macs.

We produce life-story documentary DVDs for clients. The end product is an 
edited interview(s) plus various other inputs, saved as a Q/T .mov file, burned 
onto DVD (usually 16:9 ratio). 

Using MiniDV cameras (good equipment, 3CCD Panasonic, standard definition), 
good microphones, Final Cut Express and iDVD, we make very acceptable products 
that clients love. 

I need to upgrade my camera but am a little confused about the swift changing 
of standards, formats etc.

Ideally I'd like a 3 cmos sensor camera, miniDV, firewire, complete manual 
overide of all the automatic stuff (including sound control), external mic 
inputs, headphone input, just like my 10 year old Panasonic MX300. I guess High 
Def is the in thing, although I understand that burning the output to DVD 
converts it back to SD. I'm not sure if anyone makes such a thing anymore as 
there's a big switch to hard drive cameras.

Any comments, recommendations or warnings from the Mac community? 

Cheers

Mike

Re: Reunion software package

[Mike Murray]

Hi Graeme

I've come in late to this discussion. Here's some thoughts...

Sharing with another Reunion user...send him the reunion file, not a boxchart 
(not sure what you meant by 'box file').
Others have mentioned the great features of Reunion, it's certainly worth 
persevering with.
Reunion have just announced an iPad version (it's already available on the 
iPhone)
Family Tree Maker will be available for the Mac later this year.
Cheers
Mike

 Thank you for your comment Stephen
 I was using Family Tree Maker 2006 prior to August 2010 but was torn between 
 persevering with this old package, updating FTM or switching to Reunion.
 I made the change after only a brief test and am yet to really get to try the 
 many options available
 Several reasons why I chose Reunion
 Our Winters genealogy web site is run by a cousin in UK who is also using 
 Reunion so I felt the transfer of my data to him via a box file would make 
 things easier at his end
 Our current web site caters for 4 branches of the family to date and am 
 looking to increase the branches to 10 with my local data
 FTM is not designed for the Mac although it may be in the future

Re: PowerBook to TV

Now you've got the display worked out, you're not done yet. For your 
presentation next week you'll need powered speakers hooked up to the headphone 
port, if you were relying on the DVD sound to be an essential part of it.

I bought a pair of small Bose speakers a few years ago for similar events and 
they're adequate.

 I run training workshops in HR for Govt agencies. All my presentation in 
 the
 past has been with an overhead transparency projector and VHS tape player.
 Now I am told next week's agency does not have an overhead projector  or 
 VHS
 player. Message: get with the modern world!!
 
 So I converted the VHS tape into a DVD. Slight loss of colour but OK.
 Created a .ppt presentation on my old laptop PowerBook G4. OS10.4. Works
 well.
 Bought an adaptor from the PowerBook to VGA, and VGA cable.
 To test it I connected it to my Sony DTV to the VGA slot. (Called PC-RGB)
 
 What I see is my desktop pattern. Nothing else that I start shows on the
 screen - not the DVD playing on my computer in DVD Player, the PowerPoint
 presentation, nor any photos or Word documents. Just my Desktop.
 
 Clearly there is something else I need to do to see the .ppt or DVD.
 
 Any ideas please.

HP laser Jet 5MP

[Mike Murray]

David

Have you tried the foomatic printer drivers? There's one for the HP Laserjet 
5MP.
My recent email to wamug explained how I got my HP1220C A3 priner working. 
Quoted below...
 I got this from another list and include it here for others. Worth having a 
 look if you're having problems with the gutenprint drivers. The link is 
 http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs
 
 
 I was disheartened to find that my HP 1220c as well as dozens, if not 
 hundreds, of other printer models are no longer supported by Snow Leopard. 
 But I stumbled across an open source line of printer drivers which seem to 
 be a superior alternative to the Gutenprint drivers. They make dozens of 
 unsupported printers OS X  SL compatible. 
 
 OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs - The Linux Foundation
 
 The instructions here are a little vague, but it's really easy.
 
 1. Install Ghostscript
 2. Install Foomatic
 3. Install hpijs.
 4. System Preferences  Print  Fax  (select your printer or add a new one) 
  Options  Supplies  Driver
 5. See if a new Foomatic printer driver is listed as an alternative to your 
 model.
 
 The Foomatic drivers have options for print quality, grayscale, etc which 
 Gutenprint is often missing. Included are printers from a variety of 
 manufacturers, not just HP.
 
 Hope this helps someone!

My expertise stops at installing the driver...for me it worked.
You've done all the obvious things like disconnecting and reconnecting the

If so, maybe a general call to the experts is warranted...
Good luck

Printer Drivers HP1220C for Snow Leopard – sol ution

[Mike Murray]

I recently reported that Snow Leopard had crippled my HP A3 colour printer and 
that HP were not going to write upgraded printer drivers.

For the archives (and anyone else with older HP printers), I now have my 
HP1220C working perfectly under Snow Leopard. I updated to 10.6.3 hoping it 
would improve things, but it didn't make any difference.

So I downloaded and installed the 'foomatic' drivers published by the Linux 
foundation. You need to install three separate packages (see below).

The printer now works very well and the colour quality is back to where it used 
to be. 

I got this from another list and include it here for others. Worth having a 
look if you're having problems with the gutenprint drivers. The link is

Re: Final Cut Express 4

[Mike Murray]

Hi Adrian

I know exactly what you mean...FCE had me stumped when I first got it... (many 
editions ago)

The book 'Final Cut Express Editing Workshop' by Tom Wolsky got me through the 
initial phase and from there on I built my knowledge through basic experience. 
I think the book's still in print and relevant to the current edition. 

It sure ain't iMovie but it's a very powerful program.

There are also some free videos on the apple site.

In the end, good movie-making is about the story and the flow, not the clever 
effects.

 Good luck

Snow leopard - printer driver HP1220C

[Mike Murray]

Hi experts

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on two of our four Macs (and even 
paid for a family pack to do so...smug look ;-)

But my A3 printer HP1220C (connected to my 24 iMac, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) 
has been effectively crippled by the gutenberg drivers...it runs, but it's very 
slow and nowhere near the previous quality under Leopard (you can see the dots 
on colour printed charts, for example.)

Looking at the various forums, it seems this is an HP issue - they have decided 
that they are not going to provide updated drivers for this 'old' printer, and 
the old drivers don't work with Snow Leopard. Users are unhappy.

I could conceivably not upgrade one of the macs and use that to drive the 
printer, but because I use Reunion family history software (which has been 
upgraded to run on Snow Leopard), I don't fancy the complication of having to 
step back to the Leopard version to print charts, which I do frequently.

Does anyone else have one of these printers? Is there a workaround that 
anyone's discovered? Any other advice?

Cheers
Mike

Time Capsule - one mac can't see it, three can.

[Mike Murray]

Hi experts (again)

I've recently bought and installed a 2 TB time capsule. I managed to create a 
new network and (after a few teething issues) now all four Macs in the house 
are happily working off the new network. 

2 Macs are on Snow Leopard, 2 are on Leopard.

Three of the four macs are using time machine and they are seeing the time 
capsule and backing themselves up as they should.

The fourth mac, my main production work horse (24 iMac, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 
Duo, OS 10.6.2) is connected to the network as are the others, but time machine 
on this mac doesn't 'see' the time capsule, no matter how many times I rescan 
the world. 

The time capsule is in a separate room - I'd rather not take it upstairs and 
try it with the internet cable if I can avoid it.

Could it be a range issue? I figured that if the network's working then the 
disk must be within range anyway.The laptop beside me is backing up as we 
speak...

It can't be the way TC is set up if three out of four are working well. Can it?

Advice welcome.

Cheers
Mike

Re: Time Capsule - one mac can't see it, three can.

[Mike Murray]

Thanks Ronni

That's my dilemma...what's different? On the 4th mac, I've got airport utility 
5.5 and it has the message Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport 
wireless devices...etc. Rescanning doesn't reveal anything

And of course it works fine on the others.

Just looking at the airport hardware on the macbook (which works) and the imac 
(which doesn't), I see there's a variance in the airport extreme card types and 
firmware...

macbook - (TC working)
Card type: Airport extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
firmware version:  Atheros 5416: 2.0.19.8

iMac (TC not working)
card type: Airport extreme (0x14E4, 0x8C)
Firmware: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.26)

Everything else looks the same.

Not sure if there's any relevance here.

Cheers
Mike

 Hi Mike,
 
 If 3 out of 4 Macs are seeing Time Capsule and backing up using Time Machine, 
 you have the Network setup correctly  Time Machine setup correctly on these 
 3 Macs.
 So what is different on the 4th Mac?
 
 Can the 4th Mac see Time Capsule in Airport Utility version 5.5? Is it just 
 not seeing Time Capsule in System Preferences  Time Machine - Name: Data 
 xxx-xxx-?

Give Ronni a break folks...

[Mike Murray]

Dear list

I'm concerned that Ronni's doing too much work (again) on the list.

I'm seeing  a lot of detailed one-to-one QA sessions that seem to  
require a fair bit of 'have you tried...' that indicate to me that  
many of the enquirers are not searching the archives first or doing  
some basic googling before asking the list the answers to their queries.


Suggestion 1: Ronni, why not wait 24 to 48 hrs before answering? Maybe  
then some of the other knowledgeable folks might start to respond to  
queries.


Suggestion 2: Everyone...do some homework first; look in the archives,  
google the various mac forums for answers, then come in with the query  
with some indication of what you've tried, what your system  
configuration is, what the specific problem is, etc.


Ronni's too valuable a resource to get overworked! Hate to lose her...

Cheers
Mike

Re: Student Macbooks at UWA?

[Mike Murray]

Relax

My wife is in at UWA today as a student (what public holiday?) with  
her macbook and has access to wireless, uni email account, internet,  
online lectures and presentations etc. No costs involved. When your  
daughter enrols she'll get a student account. Quite a few macbooks  
around, including lecturers.


The IT support is a bit PC-centric though, but with luck she won't  
need much support.

iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!

[Mike Murray]

Hi muggers

All you iPhone-savvy people can switch off here, but for those who are  
still thinking about getting an iPhone, here's some feedback on my  
experience...


I'm new to smartphones, and I got my unlocked 32Gb 3GS iphone from  
Apple online store on July 11, opened it up, put in the SIM card from  
my 6310 Nokia, synced it through iTunes and away it went. The phone  
battery was even charged, which I didn't expect.


Played around over the next few days, downloaded some apps, made some  
calls, tried out the GPS, looked at websites, etc. Most of that was  
through the Wifi network at home, but some through the Telstra network  
and other Wifi networks that the phone found readily. The overall  
experience was superb, highly recommended.


Went away for the weekend with a bunch of friends to Banksia Springs  
near Dwellingup which is a mobile dead zone, and showed it off...I  
think I've sold three more now. Went for a walk in the bush and came  
within a weak signal range so used the GPS (which is excellent,  
although slow downloading).


Yesterday I got curious (and a little nervous) about the costs I was  
incurring so I went to the Telstra website, worked out how to access  
my account, found the page called 'my data' which has a neat little  
table showing every time the phone had accessed data. The table listed  
one line item where I'd spent $23.32 and about a dozen others between  
50 cents and 2 dollars. Total, about $30. I thought, a well I can live  
with that. Then I noticed it was page 1, with a next button beside it.  
In fact there were 4 pages, totalling $116!!!


I searched the website and finally found that the mobile plan I was on  
($30 a month) did not have a data component so I was being charged the  
GSM casual rate, which is 22c flagfall plus 2.2c/Kb. That's $22 a  
Mb!!! The phone says I've dowloaded 6.2Mb and uploaded 550Kb, so  
there's a rough correlation.


So today I raced into Booragoon and bought a vodaphone SIM with a  
200Mb data package on a 6 month contract for $30/month, ported the  
number across and hopefully have stopped the bleeding. It works fine  
so far, so I'll see what the experience is like over the next little  
while


A key issue here is the number of times when the phone accessed the  
Telstra network while I was at home close to, but obviously just out  
of Wifi range. Is there a way to safeguard against inadvertently  
accessing the phone network if you don't want to?


And the moral of the story? Keep an eye on your useage, know what  
you're being charged and I can now understand those horrifying stories  
of people racking up hundreds of dollars without realising it. At $22/ 
Mb it's not hard to do!

Re: iPhone-So who's got the best iPhone deal? Apple blocking Push on unlocked iPhones

[Mike Murray]

Hi Ronni and iPhoners

It's getting complicated isn't it?

I got my iPhone 3GS last week and have put the SIM into it from my old  
Nokia and it works perfectly. Obviously not at NextG speeds but so far  
the Telstra normal service seems to drive the GPS/maps app perfectly  
well. Phone calls are fine and it's great as a Wifi tool, locking onto  
networks without any problem, including the one at home.


One of the first apps I downloaded was Reunion, the great genealogy  
program for Macs which now has an iPhone version. It means I can sync  
client files onto the iPhone and go off and do research if I need to.


I haven't tried the Telstra hotspots, but there aren't all that many  
in Perth.


I plan over time to try out various SIMS - there doesn't seem to be  
much recognition by the telcos that there must be a significant number  
of unlocked phones out there...

And now that I've committed to an unlocked phone direct from Apple  
(shipped yesterday..!) I can see how much extra I've paid for the  
privilege of being able to select my own carrier! I guess the others  
will bring out plans similar to Telstra's MP once they realise there

Very helpful information and I'm looking forward to getting this new  
toy...5 to 7 days I'm told.


And I'm keen to hear what Ronnie decides...everything I've read is 1.  
Telstra's coverage is best; 2. Telstra's pricing plans are dreadful  
(on the basis 'we've got the best network, it was expensive, you have  
to pay if you want to use it.').

G5 imac won't start - ever again. Update

[Mike Murray]

Hi muggers

Just to bring you up to date on my recent plea for help; my G5 iMac  
has been diagnosed with a logic board failure = a new imac. Gulp. So  
now we have a new 20 inch aluminium iMac.


That's the second G5 iMac we've totalled in less than a year. I'm an  
avid fan of things Mac but this seems to be taking built in  
obsolescence too far. Both machines were about 3 1/2 years old, both  
cooked the logic boards.


Only symptom...fans starting to fire up randomly; on reflection some  
components were obviously overheating.


Moral of the story; backup every day and expect failure if you're  
still running a G5 iMac.


Has anyone had success in pleading a case with Apple for some  
compensation?


Mournfully,
Mike

Previous email...

Our sole remaining G5 iMac in the fleet has decided to play up.

This morning when trying to wake it up as normal the screen remained  
black and the fans started to roar. Held the off switch down for 5  
seconds and it shut down. left it for a while, unplugged everything,  
switched it on. The light came on, very slightly pulsing, but no  
chime. Dark screen. After about a minute the fans came on again, so  
shut it down again. Repeated the process a couple of times.


Thinking there may be a dust build up inside I tried to get the back  
off, loosened the three screws, but couldn't get the back  
off...seems very tight and I didn't want to wriggle it too much.


Opinions sought. Is there an easy solution that I'm overlooking?

Cheers
Mike

Re: G5 imac won't start - ever again. Update

[Mike Murray]

Roger, yes there was a program for fixing the first run G5s...it's now  
been suspended. This latest failure was a later model (with isight  
camera) and to my knowledge there's no such program.
 I believe the problem is not as common in the later models, but that  
might just be a function of age, i.e. we're now getting to the end-of- 
life stage!


Re symptoms:
The earlier G5 (that failed last year) had persistent problems of not  
waking up from sleep and odd power-related issues including very  
occasional fans running unexpectedly. Eventually it wouldn't wake up  
at all.


The later one with isight camera that failed last week had mysterious  
fan running issues for some months, usually when it was asleep and  
unattended. We'd go into the room in the morning and the fans would be  
roaring, no idea if they'd been going all night or started up when it  
heard us approach!


Tom, if the fans are running hot I would say it's on its way out.  
Maybe in 3 months, maybe in the next few minutes.


Warwick, based on my limited experience (2 failures out of 2) I would  
recommend not buying a second hand G5 iMac. We still have a Tibook  
(400 G4) and a G3 slot-loading iMac, merrily continuing their happy  
lives without a hitch. And now two very recent iMacs (and a couple of  
reliable Macbooks). We've had various macs over many years and never  
really had a problem (although on thinking about it there was a dog of  
a powerbook with a screen problem that took some sorting out).


As someone said recently, things break.

Backup is the key.

Cheers
Mike

Did you notice any other failures in the machines processes. We have  
one that has fans running hot.

Can some one explain why the logic boards are failing in brand new  
iMacs
today. When looking for the upgrade to my G3  a few months back I  
was going
to buy a second hand G5 from ebay. There were heaps of iMacs out  
there going
for cheap ($50-$150) with this problem. Why? I've been put off  
gutting a G5

now... Very happy with my G4 however.

Re: G5 imac won't start

[Mike Murray]

Thanks for the advice Philippe

Further research indicates that 'there are no user serviceable parts  
in this model' and the back doesn't come off readily. The link you  
gave is for the earlier G5 imacs.


So today's job is to find an Apple repairer and await the  
diagnosis...which I fear may be grim.

Hi Mike,

Wonder if it is your motherboard battery that has gone flat. I know
that if this battery goes the machine may not boot at all.

Can you remember if your date and time was being kept accurately last
time the machine booted? If you have had to reset the time and date a
few times this would indicate the RAM battery going flat.

Sorry can't help you with opening the iMac, I have no experience with
this particular model but go to the following Apple link for
instructions:

Hi all

Our sole remaining G5 iMac in the fleet has decided to play up.

This morning when trying to wake it up as normal the screen  
remained black
and the fans started to roar. Held the off switch down for 5  
seconds and it
shut down. left it for a while, unplugged everything, switched it  
on. The
light came on, very slightly pulsing, but no chime. Dark screen.  
After about
a minute the fans came on again, so shut it down again. Repeated  
the process

a couple of times.

Thinking there may be a dust build up inside I tried to get the  
back off,
loosened the three screws, but couldn't get the back off...seems  
very tight

and I didn't want to wriggle it too much.

Opinions sought. Is there an easy solution that I'm overlooking?

Cheers
Mike

Publishing software

[Mike Murray]

Hi Darrel

I use Adobe InDesign for our publishing work. Clients prepare their  
text input in Word and provide the photos/images separately. I bring  
the text and images together and do the layout using Indesign and  
eventually save the finished product as a PDF file which goes to the  
printer for digital printing.


If the printer is required to do more than just print off the PDF,  
they prefer to work with InDesign or Quark Express. I agree with the  
comments that generally, no-one likes Word for final document  
preparation, but it's great to do the writing - just don't embed  
anything else in it, and don't bother with fancy formatting... all  
that can be done with the layout program.


Haven't tried Pages for anything big, though it looks good.

Cheers
Mike

Is there a company (or individual) who for a fee would print, such a

Re: Drowse or Sleep?

[Mike Murray]

Hi Susan

Hate to add a sour note, but I've recently replaced a 3+ year old 20- 
in G5 iMac with a cooked motherboard. The first symptoms were odd  
behaviour with sleep patterns and mysterious awakenings and shut- 
downs. Apparently this is a known issue.


The new 24-in is great.

This is unique to this computer - in my case a G5 1.8 SP, and I know  
its unique because of using a wide range of Macs. I can live with

Hi Severin,

Some programmes perform periodic activity which (intentionally or  
not)

will restart your Mac's time-to-sleep timer. For example, downloading
a large file will prevent your disk from going to sleep and thus
prevent your computer from going to sleep. Continuous file sharing  
and
internet chat logging can have this effect also, despite the fact  
that

you have walked away from your computer. Severin, if you close all
your apps and leave the computer for 10 mins, does it go to sleep? I
imagine it won't, but if it DOES, then you should try to identify
which programme is the culprit.

Firewire 800/400 adaptor - solved

Thanks for the various suggestions to my plea for firewire adaptor.

Daniel has supplied a neat 6-port firewire hub (generally as described  
by Ronnie) so all is now fixed. I can now have video camera,  
Director's Cut Analog/digital convertor and multiple hard drives  
connected again at the same time. So video production back in business.


Couldn't find a 800/400 cable or a hub in the various shops I  
tried...I shouldn't have bothered, just gone straight to Daniel.
