Re: [WAMUG} AGM Meeting

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Maureen
Due to senility on by part I have managed to pay my wamug annual fees twice! 
This is not a problem and I’m happy to leave it so and use the extra payment as 
an early payment for next year.
I would appreciate that this is recorded somewhere for future reference.
Kind regards
Peter Curtis

Re: [WAMUG} Apple Mail

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Stephen
What you say is correct! However, at the moment when put on ‘All inboxes’ it 
shows no emails, when put on one of my actual mailboxes (e.g. 
j...@augold.com.au) it shows the current emails in that box. Or, when put on 
augold.com.au it shows those emails, but when on ‘All inboxes it shows nothing?
Kind regards
Peter

[WAMUG} Apple Mail

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all
In Apple Mail I usually use ‘All inboxes’ with a couple of mailboxes within. 
Now when I choose ‘All inboxes’ it shows nothing and I have to go to each 
mailbox separately to view the mail within them. Can anyone suggest a reason 
for this? or a setting? I am not aware of changing anything.

Re: emails

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Peter
We run about 10 different emails from the domain, I’m the primary account 
holder and it doesn’t happen with any other email address.
I’ll have a look anyway but I don’t think it’s that.

Re: emails

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Peter

We are not using iCloud email addresses
We are using the native Apple Mail application.
I’ve just checked her iPad and she only has her email address and credentials, 
not mine. I do have her email credentials on mine for various reasons. I don’t 
mind her getting my emails but the fact she does is annoying. She, on the other 
hand, doesn’t want them at all.
Rules don’t appear to have special rules at all.
I hope this clarify’s it for you
Thanks for your assistance
Kind regards
Peter

Re: emails

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Stephen
We used to use the same Apple ID but haven’t for many months.
My wife wanted her own ID and got one.
The emails go to her (Apple) computer and her iPad, she does not use her phone 
for emails.
Many thanks
Peter

Hi everyone
My wife receives many of my emails on her computer and ipad. As far as I know I 
have not organised this and cannot seem to find out how to stop this happening.
Can someone give me some information to be able to stop this?
Kind regards

Re: Music

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
95% of my music is off cassettes, records and CD’s! I’m not looking to avoid 
buying music, or giving it to others so they can avoid buying it. It’s just the 
simplicity I had before with iTunes seems to me to have been removed. I have 
found solutions to my current situation, just find the constant changes to 
shore up their profits annoying. When I purchased most of my music the costs 
were excessive due to their protections, it looks like they are moving towards 
that again in one way or another. I was just wondering if there was a 
replacement more like iTunes and less like Music.
Kind regards
Peter

Hi all
Is there an alternative to ‘Music’ on the Mac? I know I’m a bit behind the 
times but it appears I can’t access my music like to put a song on a usb stick

Re: Backup iPhone

Hi Daniel
I’ve still to read your recommended link and will do so tomorrow, but from what 
I’ve seen of it, it also says it will appear in the Finder window with perhaps 
a request to pair or trust the item but because it doesn’t show in the Finder 
window it can’t be paired or trusted?
The iPhone doesn’t show in the Finder window, nor does my iPad? and I’ve used 
two different cables to make sure. The iPhone and the iPad show up in Photo’s 
so it shouldn’t be the connection, but what?
I’ll read the recommended link in full tomorrow

Re: Backup iPhone

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
I’ve plugged in using a USB connection rather than Lightning, older phone 6SE 
and about a 3 yr old MacBookPro.
Doesn’t show up on my brothers new MacBook with his iPhone 6S, or my iPhone SE? 
Surely they aren’t too old?

Yes, I’m using the latest iOS. It’s only a small bell with the writing

Hi Stephen
I have an iPhone 6 SE and I get the bell with a line through it and a note 
saying Silent Mode On when I turn it on, and when turning off get the bell 
without the line and a note saying Silent Mode Off. It’s not huge but I can see 
it, but it only stays on for a second or so.

Re: Safari V13.0 and 1Password V6.8.9

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Philippe
You can still purchase a stand alone version although it’s well hidden! see 
below.

If you'd like to still purchase a standalone licence for 1Password 7 it's not a 
problem at all. You can download 1Password 7 by visiting this link 
(https://1password.com/downloads) once downloaded and installed you, you can 
launch 1Password 7. You will see the option to subscribe or purchase a 
Standalone licence.  

Kind regards
Peter

Re: iCloud

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Ronni
Thank you for your response.
I managed to get into the Apple ID account page OK only to find I’m already set 
up for two factor authentication, the problem still exists. Should I try 
turning off the two factor authentication and then turning it back on?
Kind regards

Re: iCloud

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Peter
Thank you for your suggestion!
I don’t have two-factor authentication set up and when I try to set it up 
according to APPLE instructions I must go to System Preferences and choose 
iCloud, then Security. Only problem is that when I go to System Preferences and 
iCloud there is no option to select Security as it’s asking me to put in my 
Apple ID then Password and then I go on the roundabout of it asking for Apple 
ID and Password continually. The options of General, Contact, Security, Devices 
and Payment aren’t there?
So I still have the same problem.
Kind regards
Peter

iCloud

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
I have a red circle with a 1 in it on my System Preferences on my MacBookPro, 
on going into preferences this symbol is on the iCloud icon in there.
I clicked onto this and it asked for my Apple ID and Password, on supplying 
this the computer thought for a while and then went back to the Apple ID screen 
again. I re entered my ID and Password again and got the same result! 
I used the ‘Forgot Apple ID or password’ option and reset my password.
Back to the iCloud icon in System Preferences (which still had the red circle 
with the 1 in it) and was asked for my Apple ID and Password, when supplied 
with that it thought for a while again and then reset to ask for Apple ID and 
Password again.
I have done this several times to ensure that all was entered correctly, but no 
change.
I can access the App Store with the new Apple ID and Password no problem.
If it was just in the System Preferences I would/could just leave it but it 
pops up on my screen regularly.
I don’t actually use iCloud, so loss of any information is not a worry, just 
the annoying pop up and of course curiosity?
I have made no changes to the computer that I’m aware of.
I would appreciate any thoughts?
Kind regards

Re: RANT WARNING! iiNet NBN

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
We had to go on the NBN shortly and on my brother in law’s recommendation I 
tried Aussie Broadband. The result has been fantastic! Cheaper, guaranteed 
Australian call centre (which makes a huge difference being older and deafer), 
constant updates of what is going on (whilst connecting) Since connecting 
absolutely no problems at all. I still keep waiting for the catch, but so far, 
none. Perhaps I was just lucky, but I’m sold.
Kind regards

External USB hub

[Peter Curtis]

Hi everyone
I just have a query in relation to using a USB hub.
Can I plug in two different computers to the hub to access a printer? or must 
the lead be swapped to each computer when being used. 
This is in relation to both two Macs or one Mac and one PC.
Kind regards

to block or unblock Pop Ups? Is it somewhere else?
Since upgrading to macOS Mojave it takes many many attempts to wake up my 
laptop, usually I used to touch the keyboard or mouse and the computer would 
wake up, now it takes up to 30 attempts to get it to wake up, even pressing the 
start button doesn’t wake the computer! It always eventually does wake up but 
it’s a pain as it is. Any suggestions?
Kind regards

Re: CAN I UPGRDE TO MOJAVE FROM HIGH SIERRA

Hi
I was curious about this too, my MacBook Pro was purchased in Jan 2014 yet I 
haven’t been asked to upgrade? or do I have to request an upgrade?
Kind regards

Photo's

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
While we’re on the subject of photo’s, is there another program other than 
“Photos” to store and control photographs? I must admit I’m not keen on 
“Photos”, I’m not a big taker of photographs but have started to assemble all 
my past photo’s and find “Photos” not easy, can’t seem to name photos as I want 
and managing them is clunky, or is that just a user problem?

VueScan

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all

I’m using VueScan for some documents which I need to email to another person on 
their phone. I scan as .pdf yet the file sizes are large (3.5MB) for a 12 page 
document. I’ve looked through the settings and preferences on ViewScan and 
can’t see any way of reducing the size. Is this size normal for a 12 page 
document? Is there any way I can reduce the size of the .pdf?

Preview?

[Peter Curtis]

Hi every one
I have a couple of queries if someone could assist.
Preview doesn’t have a “Save as” function anymore, meaning you have to 
“Duplicate” then do your alterations to an original copy? Is this correct or is 
there another way?
What would be recommended program to reduce the size of .pdf forms (Preview) in 
size? or is there an easy way I’m not aware of?
Thanks in anticipation
Kind regards
Peter

Hi everyone
Does anyone need or want a couple of IPhone 4’s? They haven’t been used for a 
while but were going OK when they were. The alternative is the rubbish bin.
All the best for Christmas too everyone.

Re: Photo's

[Peter Curtis]

Thanks Ronni
I’d already cancelled the delete and tried again, this time it came up with the 
fact Pictures can’t be deleted. It definitely didn’t do that the first time. 
I’m now transferring the contents from Time Machine one by one 
(apparently/hopefully successfully) although why Time Machine didn’t replace 
the contents of Pictures the first time, I don’t know!
Hopefully all will be well.
Kind regards

Photo's

[Peter Curtis]

Hi everyone
I seem to have a problem with deleting my Pictures folder with iPhoto & Photo’s 
and Photo Booth Library in it.
It started when I imported about 400 photo’s of a recent trip to Photo’s, they 
had been previously sorted but when I imported them they became unsorted. I 
started to resort them but it was taking forever so I decided I’d use Time 
Machine to replace the Photo’s library (I’d just previously deleted the 
iPhoto’s library as I don’t use iPhoto any more)
I went into Time Machine and got it to replace the Photo’s library, after a 
considerable time it told me it couldn’t complete the replacement (for some 
reason I didn’t record) so I thought OK I’ll use my Super Duper backup (which 
had been done the day before) to replace the complete Pictures file. So I 
trashed the Pictures folder and it said it was starting to do so, then said 
“Moving “Pictures” to “Trash" and has kept that sign up for the last 14 hours. 
The Pictures folder only contains the Photo Booth Library (8 bytes) since the 
Time Machine rejection, but the Pictures folder is 6.47 GB so obviously when 
Time Machine stuffed up something else happened.
Shouldn’t the Pictures folder be trashed by now? or do I just have to wait?
Or can anyone suggest what else should I do?

Scrolling

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all
Since yesterday for some reason I’m finding my scrolling almost unusable. I use 
an old mac mouse with no visible scrolling wheel, just works by using a finger 
on the front of the mouse.
Normally I have no problems but now when I scroll down it takes off like a 
racing car going down four or more pages at a time, then when going back it 
races way past where I was, no control at all.
I have tried adjusting in the mouse in the System Preferences without any 
result.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Could it be the actual mouse on the blink through old age?
If so, could someone recommend another mouse?
Kind regards

Re: GPS vs iPad mini

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Rod
I use a lot of GPS’s, mainly in the goldfields, both apps on the ipad and 
individual units. What you are going to use the unit/s for probably the 
determining factor of which one/type you get.
As it turns out I use several, sometimes at the same time, as each one can give 
different information for what you require.
My main unit is an old Garmin 276c which is although very old technology 
probably the most user friendly, and best suits my needs which are for areas 
without roads.
The Hema is a dual off road/street gps which is a lot more expensive and can be 
very complicated depending upon what your using it for. A lot of it’s maps are 
very old and the updates are still well and truly out of date too. I think you 
better off with an individual street gps and another one for country rather 
than the combined one.
I also use Mud Maps on the iPad, it is miles better than Hema but the maps are 
Eastern States centric. If they had maps for WA like they do for the east, it 
would be fantastic. There is quite a difference between Mud Maps 2 and Mud Maps 
3. Mind you, the maps for Hema are worse.
All in all, I have and use 5 gps’s and I would say the first thing you 
establish is what you are going to use it for? that makes the choice of what to 
use easier.
Kind regards

That was exactly the problem I had and the only way I got over it was with a

OK now but frustrating at the time.

Update

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
I have just installed the latest update (9.3) on my wife’s iPad. It says Update 
Complete and says just a few more steps to activate, but after stating it may 
take a few minutes to activate your iPad, it states

Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily 
unavailable. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it or try again in 
a couple of minutes.

I’ve been trying since last night without success including connecting it to 
iTunes where it states

iTunes was unable to verify your device.
Please disconnect and reconnect your device.
If the error persists, please visit your nearest Apple Store for assistance.
To find your nearest Apple Store, click here.

I’ve turned the iPad off, tried a hard reset. What else can I do can anyone 
suggest?

Taking to the nearest Apple Store is not an option at the moment, being in 
Kalgoorlie

I’ve updated my iPad without problems since the attempted update of my wife’s.

Kind regards

Apple ID

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all
My brother has just got a new iPhone.
He’s forgotten his apple ID and when he goes to the “forgot apple ID” section 
he has to put his name and email address in, which he does. He is then told 
that’s not enough information and requests earlier emails. He swears he has 
never had another email so cannot proceed past this point.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pete
I was connecting with a USB. It appears the problem was a dud cord. In the

Thank you for your response.

Adware Medic

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all, and in particular Ronni!
I looked up etresoft which you recommended to Alan previously and in reading a 
little about it came up with two queries and was wondering if you could shed 
some light?
In etresoft’s ‘about’ and ‘tips for a healthy mac’ they suggest using Adware 
Medic which I have used in the past, however Adware Medic have been bought out 
by Malwarebites and are now suggesting a new virus program in place of Adware 
Medic. Does this remain in the ‘not needed’ category? or is this an exception?
Secondly they recommend not to use (in fact say never use) an App Zapper 
program? Is this also the case?
Kind regards

 Hello Peter,
 
 Your question:
 Your comment that you use a VPN when connecting to a Public Wireless 
 Network, does that mean you don’t feel the need for it in normal 
 circumstances at home (or work)?
 
 As long as both Networks are secure Networks.
 
 Your work place might be using a VPN? I’m sure they would have a secure 
 Network in any case.  You can check with your IT department as to how secure 
 their Network is.
 
 You Home Network:
 If you are connecting to a Wired (Ethernet) Network in your home, someone 
 would have to break into your house, plug into your Ethernet switch, hide 
 somewhere out of your sight to capture data passing over your network.
 
 If you are connecting to a Wireless (Wi-Fi) Network:
 If your Home Network does NOT have password-protected encryption - anyone 
 with an antenna sensitive enough to pick up your radio signals can eavesdrop 
 on traffic passing over your network. This could be a neighbour, someone in a 
 parked car, or a nearby business.
 
 For a real defense, you must use password-protected encryption. Encryption 
 always requires a key. With Wi-Fi encryption, you don’t enter the key 
 directly, but instead enter a password that the system uses to generate or 
 retrieve a key. 
 
 Three different encryption methods have been offered since 802.11b started 
 appearing in hardware in 1999, each of which supersedes the previous one.
 WPA2 was the final version of WPA security that includes all the work done in 
 the 802.11i committee. WPA2 replaces the weaker WEP key with a 
 government-grade method favored by corporations. Any equipment released in 
 2003 or later can handle WPA2. 
 All Apple base stations released starting in 2003 handle WPA2.
 An Apple 802.11n or ac base station can offer WPA/WPA2 protection, in which 
 both older and newer devices can join with either form of key; an 802.11b, g, 
 or a device connects via WPA, while an n or ac device uses WPA2.
 
 Both WPA and WPA2 come in two versions: Personal and Enterprise. 
 The Personal versions allow the use of passphrases, long sequences of 
 text—minimum 8 characters, maximum 63 characters—that are converted into the 
 source material for generating an encryption key. The option to create a long 
 phrase gives a WPA/WPA2 passphrase the potential to be memorable, but more 
 characters in the phrase also adds entropy, the principle in cryptography of 
 introducing a greater inability for a key to be predictable and thus 
 obtainable by someone who doesn’t know it.
 
 The Enterprise flavour of WPA and WPA2 requires a server to manage accounts, 
 but simplifies access by letting people enter a username and password. Apple 
 dropped support for setting up a base station with WPA/WPA2 Enterprise in 
 AirPort Utility 6.0 but restored it in version 6.1 (it’s never been in the 
 iOS version at all).
 
 Typically, WPA2 support, which is the default, is all that’s needed unless 
 you have equipment that’s more than a decade old.
 
 Hope that answers your question.
 
 Kind Regards,
 
 Ronni

 Why are you asking... what do you wish to know about a VPN (Virtual Private

 I do use a VPN when I require to connect to Public Wireless Networks, like

 A virtual private network, or VPN, is a special type of network connection 
 that encrypts all Internet traffic flowing between your device and
 a VPN server somewhere on the Internet. Think of a VPN as a tunnel running 
 through your physical (Wi-Fi, cellular, or wired) Internet connection 
 that’s impenetrable from the outside but open on both ends. Since VPNs can 
 encrypt everything, they even make it safe to use an unencrypted Wi-Fi 
 connection.

 Hi Peter,
 I don't currently use a VPN on my home network. I am considering it.
 
 My son, who has been living in China, has had to use a VPN service to 
 circumvent the Chinese government's blocking of particular sites (like 
 Facebook), and potential eavesdropping on his traffic.
 
 With the Federal Government's new data retention laws, we are all at risk of 
 the same treatment from the Australian government. If you don't want people 
 prying into what you do on the internet, you should be using a VPN.
 
 My son recommends a VPN provider called Astrill 
 (https://www.astrill.com/what-is-vpn.php).
 
 This is a paid service. Others may know of free services, but I haven't 
 looked into it yet.
 
 Hope this helps.

iPod Nano

[Peter Curtis]

Hi
I have just purchased an iPod nano for my wife. She is very happy with it 
except! She can’t find out how to shuffle the songs. I have looked but can’t 
see how to, except to shake the nano to change the song. This shaking to change 
is not acceptable for her, so can the nano be set to shuffle automatically?
Much appreciated
Peter

Printers?

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all

Looks like I need to replace my current printer, what’s the consensus on a 
printer with A3 and A4 capabilities currently? I’m not a big user. Ink jet or 
laser is fine.

Kind regards

Peter
