Re: Nice little info App
Hi All, Here is a link to another site that has some interesting tool, the Consultant’s Canary, it;s a Terminal app See link for details - http://osxdaily.com/2012/05/21/consultants-canary-is-the-ultimate-troubleshooting-aid-for-mac-os-x/ Using Consultant’s Canary is easy, you can run the standalone Consultant’s Canary app directly on a single Mac which launches Terminal and a python script on it’s own, or you could open the apps package to find the heart of the app “dispatcher.py” which could then be used over a network to remotely diagnose and troubleshoot multiple Macs. The same version of Consultant’s Canary will work on any version of OS X later than 10.5, including Lion. CC may just be the ultimate troubleshooting aid for Mac OS X, a remarkable feet for a free utility, making it’s an absolute must-have addition to a Mac power users toolkit.” Cheers, Peder On 22/05/2012, at 17:58 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi All If you want a nice little info app that tells you (in one window) the main info about your system, have a look at this little free one.

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) defines 4G to include: - LTE (Long Term Evolution) - WiMax - HSPA+ dual carrier Vivid Wireless advertises their WiMax service which tops out at 4-5mbps around Australia as 4G. Telstra advertises their HSPA+ dual carrier service which is capable of running at speeds up to 42mps as 4G (as per the ITU). Already users are reporting real-world speeds of up to 20 Mbps in Sydney besting Vivid Wireless's 4G speeds by a factor of 4. At the moment, Telstra's LTE service is giving faster speeds in many tests, but just wait till the number of users increases to the sorts of numbers on the HSPA frequencies and you should see those speeds drop as LTE users (just like HSPA and WiMax) all share the same bandwidth to their local tower. In the USA, tests of 4G in New York top out at 20mbps - the same as what Tesltra HSPA+ dual carrier achieves in the real world here in Australia. Telstra has also previously indicated they would be doubling the speed of HSPA+ DC to 84mbps using MIMO which would give it parity with the current generation of LTE. Only LTE Advanced theoretically offers greater than 100mbps.

That's good to know/clarify. Do you hve your photo in your card in Address Book Yes, it is in there. and in System Preferences Users Groups? Yes. The same photo is there. I assume that is where Address Book gets it from, or vice versa. That is correct. And yes, we have noticed that my OLD “My Card” (personal vCard) in Address Book shows up on ‘some’ WAMUG recipients messages. Mainly MobileMe email accounts. If a recipient of the message has the sender's vCard (Card in Address Book) and it includes a photo, then the photo will show in messages from that person. Do you have my vCard or have setup a card in Address Book with my details? No I don't. I don't have any details for Adrian Skehan either in my Address Book, but I see both your photos in emails either of you send to WAMUG. I would presume that Adrian has his Address Book Card set as his My Card as do I. I understand that in Lion Mail that if the person sending the email has chosen a personal Address Book card using the Menu - Card Make This My Card (MeCard) then if there is a photo on that card it will show up on email for the recipients. This appears to be what is happening. I note that this occurs for only yourself and Adrian, and a quick scan through shows me you are both mac.com and me.com subscribers and send from that account. Not many other WAMUG posters send from their mac.com or me.com accounts, and it seems that those who do - Adrian and yourself, appear as images in my Mail. Not that I mind, just found it contrary to what we'd understood was happening. I think there are more people than Adrian I using their .me or .mac email address on WAMUG. I also would be surprised if only Adrian I have our Cards in Address Book set as our 'My Card'. But that seems to be the common factor having your card set as My Card. If you have an Address Book card for the sender, then the photo on that card will override the photo for their personal Address Book card. Tim you can remove old photos from appearing in Mail messages. Address Book stores pictures in the folder: ~/Library/Images/People/ or in Lion ‘iChat Recent Pictures' Click the Home icon in the Finder toolbar, then proceed to your Library folder then images people After you navigate to the People or iChat Recent Pictures folder, you see files with names that correspond to the email addresses in your Address book. There is no folder ~/Library/Images/People, but there is ~/Library/Images/iChat Recent Pictures. In that folder there are no pictures of anyone, just two images I have used in the past as my photo in Address Book. I am using 10.7.2 and Mail 5.1 I a not near my computer to check but look in Home Library Application Support Address Book, if I remember correctly there you will find images. Neither your, or Adrians, details are stored in my redundant Entourage Address Book either. No it has nothing to do with Entourage Address Book. As I've said, I don't particularly mind seeing pictures of people, but if they are not expecting it to be displayed - which was the query of the original poster - then it'd be good to understand under what situations this is happening.

Hi Chris, I have been using VueScan Pro for some time, and I’m very happy with it. The pro version gives you extra scanning features and unlimited software updates. Contra to other scanning softwares, like SilverFast, it does not have a lot of pre editing corrections. These are mainly made post scan, using Photoshop or other similar products.

I have been trying to use my iPhone. It has been hard as the so-called wi-fi internet at the apartment is an ibook with a 3G modem in it. I won't go into the details of that - I sort of got it working by creating a computer to computer network with airport and sharing the internet to it - it worked after a fashion - enough to do dropbox syncs etc. HOWEVER - I only mention this in case it has some relevance to my REAL PROBLEM - my iPhone appears to have totally died. This morning I was trying to dropbox synch some stuff from the computer to the phone and noticed that I kept losing the connection - the wifi was connected and then it wasn't - the phone was a matter of a few cm from the laptop so signal strength wasn't a problem. Each time I could reconnect OK but then I would lose the connection in a matter of seconds. I don't know if this is relevant or not as a sign of something failing. Anyway, I finally achieved the transfers I wanted and stuck the phone in my pocket. Around 10-15 minutes later I went to make a phone call and I couldn't wake the iPhone - pressing the home key, trying to invoke a shutdown/restart by holding down the power key - nothing happens. The battery was at about 95% when it went in my pocket - so that's not the problem. I've tried plugging the phone into my laptop but it is not recognised by iTunes or showing as an attached USB device on System profiler. It seems like the phone is completely powered down and won't switch on. To channel Monty Python - it has ceased to be - it is an ex iPhone. I have just checked the receipt and the warranty expired 26th August - exactly 1 month ago!! I must admit, I don't feel like paying Apple for another iPnone after just over a year of VERY light usage. I'm still commited to paying Telstra $49 a month for the plan (though I guess I could find another phone to stick it in). Any body have any ideas/tips/ tricks to bring my iPhone back to life?

We suggest you bookmark this page and refer to it while transferring your data. Step 1: Open your family file in Family Tree Maker.

Step 3: From the Save as type popup menu, choose GEDCOM (*.GED) Step 4: To save the GEDCOM file to your Windows Desktop, click Desktopon the left side of the window.

Step 8: On your Macintosh, drag and drop the GEDCOM file onto theReunion 9 icon which is inside your Applications folder. Notes... • Reunion 9 in demo mode does not import GEDCOM files. • GEDCOM exchange with Family Tree Maker is generally very good, depending on the extent to which custom fields and source records are utilized.

You can also open the Style / Open Style Draw and then set new document text types and or edit a Styles. For more info, see Pages ’09 Help and search for Styles. Hope that will work for you.

Re: Handsfree iPhone car kit? Tom Tom good anyone ?
Hi Martin, Just a heads up … if you are planning to get the new iPhone 4, it will not fit the in current Tom Tom unit. Cheers, Peder On 03/07/2010, at 10:12 AM, Martin Hill wrote: Hi all, So what sorts of Car kits is everyone using with your iPhones in your cars these days? We need: - hands-free phone calling - car audio play-thru (FM transmission as we don't have a direct audio input to the car stereo unfortuntely) - dashboard/windshield mount (rotatable for GPS apps) - in-car charging We've tried the Belkin TuneBase FM with Handsfree for iPhone and found the FM transmitter not that fantastic in our particular car, though it performed well in my sisters car, and our car cig lighter socket was a bit too low for the stalk to bring the iPhone up to a height that would make it useable for GPS software usage. We have a BlueAnt, Supertooth II bluetooth handsfree in our other car, which works well enough for hands-free calling, but it doesn't do anything else. I'm leaning towards the Tom Tom Car Kit for iPhone which ticks off on most items though doesn't do FM radio transmission so we'd need to work out some other option there. it's a leased car, so that makes it more difficult.

On my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.4 I use the birthday date entered into Address Book to show birthdays in iCal. Works fine. I sync this data to my iPhone 3GS running iOS4 via the iTunes 9.2, USB connection setup. Now when I look at the birthday calendar on my iPhone using the Calendar app it shows everyone's birthday correctly except for people over 80 years old. I don't know at exactly what age it stops showing birthdays, but all my entries for people over 80 are not shown, I don't have any entries for people between 70 and 80. If I use the iDayLite app to show birthdays they are all shown correctly, and the data all shows up in the Contacts app. I don't know if this was an issue in iOS 3.1.3, but I never noticed it.

This would make the wifi bit of the D-Link redundant but would not require a wireless enabled printer. Clearly the iMac and PC will be deskbound and can connect to the printer by ethernet (or wireless for the iMac). My own system is centred around an Airport Extreme and a DSL-504 router/modem and I share a laser printer among three computers very happily, including a wireless MacBook.

Further to the ShortName it does not work in Leopard, see link http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html Changing the short username in Leopard by Dan Frakes, Macworld.com One of the most-frequently-asked questions about Mac OS X is “How do I change my short username?” While it's easy to change your full username —an easily-accessible setting in Accounts preferences—the short username, which is also the name of your home folder in the Finder, seems set in stone (or in silicon, if you will).” That may be what your are after.

With the latter, a separate charging cable is needed is available for the 3G iphone. I have used the Take Talk BT (without a charging cable for the iphone) connected to an external aerial and it certainly extends the mobile phone range in rural areas, although if hills are between you and the tower, the range extension will be minimal. However, of itself, the Take Talk BT does not support the iPod function of the iPhone, at least in the car that I have used it in. If you are just after a hands free unit, without an external aerial, there are a lot cheaper options than the TH Bury products.

There are no threads left on the Apple Discussion Boards regarding this issue!The elimination of FireWire also spells trouble for iMovie users, who will no longer be able to directly connect cameras that use the protocol. The new MacBooks still ship with iMovie, but Apple apparently expects users to work with a USB-capable camera or import data to another system first.An Apple employee posting on the company's discussion boards says that USB is the preferred interface for iMovie '08.There are limited USB-to-FireWire converters, but most don't provide power or 6-pin connectivity.

Hi all
I'm getting fed up with changing USB cables on my Macs for assorted
digital cameras, portable printers etc. I seem to need at least
three
different 'mini' USB connectors, and the right cable never seems to
be
on the right machine (if I can find it). This also means cumbersome
sorting through the 'spaghetti' to locate cables and vacant USB
ports,
making it really tiresome to do anything quickly when asked: Can
you
just do this for me?.
Googling only seems to come up with USB hubs etc with two or more
sockets, rather than cables with multiple 'heads'. (But I may be
using the wrong terms.)
Does anyone know of a basic USB cable adapter/jack with multiple
connectors of the different 'standard' USB sizes?
Thanks in anticipation ...

These programs would mainly manipulate midi and wave files, and hence need to be able to work at the bit and byte level. The programs are not doing anything particularly complex, so processing speed is not a major consideration. I was wondering if there is a relatively easy program to use that is not too expensive, and that doesn't require that I fight all the project control complexity as if I was writing a system for the Australian Government. An equivalent of Visual Basic would be fine, provided it could handle: (a) binary files (eg wave files and midi files) (b) manipulate at bits and bytes. (c) its not too expensive Can anyone suggest a suitable compiler etc from their experience that would meet my needs? with thanks Clyde -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
