Re: ITunes window problem
Thanks Ronni Daniel!.No luck with control command F Ronni,however,Daniels suggestion worked! On 2 Dec 2013, at 9:15 pm, Daniel Kerr wa...@macwizardry.com.au wrote: Hi Robert If no joy with Ronni's suggestion a couple of others to try that can also work,…. 1. If you hover over the top of the iTunes window (about in the middle) then you'll see the icon change to an arrow pointing up and down. Drag this down to make the top of the iTunes window smaller. Then once you've made is smaller that way, click in the grey area at the top and move the whole window up. This should bring it up below where you can see it. Sometimes you have to repeat this a few times to get it working. (You can also do the same with the left and right sides as well to bring it in, if it ever goes that way as well). 2. In System Preferences, go to Displays. Depending which version of the OS you're running, the next step can differ. But where it says Resolution change this to scaled. Then choose a resolution lower then what you're running. (e.g. 1600x1200 or 1280x960). This will then shrink all the window. iTunes should then shrink to fit into the window you're working. Then go back and change it the resolution back to the higher resolution. This should generally then keep iTunes at the smaller resolution it was at when you changed it. You can then drag the corner out to make it bigger again. 3. If you can get to the Window menu in iTunes, you can go to Zoom then it will expand out to the full size of the screen. Then you can drag the corner into the size you want. Hopefully something out of these suggestions works with Ronni's as well. Let us know how you go.

This year's AGM will be held in conjunction with the monthly meeting at the FutureSphere. At this year's AGM, the Committee, as usual and as required, will stand down and the meeting will elect a new committee for 2013. NOMINATIONS for the Committee We are calling for nominations for the committee. Please consider standing for the committee to assist WAMUG. The committee is a totally voluntary group that is always looking for some fresh views and ideas. Whilst committee meetings are held every month, you may not be able to attend every one. Please don't let this stand in your way. Even if you can only attend a few throughout the year, please consider becoming a member. There is a committee email group that keeps all connected as well. The committee must have a minimum of five members to function under the constitution. We currently just have that minimum five members. At this stage, most of the current committee have stated a willingness to stand again but we ask for your help to keep the committee functioning well. Please consider it. You can nominate via a reply to this list if you so wish but I'm trying to organise a specific off list email address for people to use. It will be available within a day or two. Special Resolutions - name change and constitution amendments There will be a number of special resolutions put at the AGM dealing with the previously discussed change of name of WAMUG plus some amendments recommended by the Department of Commerce to comply with statute law. I apologise that these resolutions have not yet appeared on the web site.

Hello Rick. The Hard drive in my iMac started playing up about 1 month before the Apple Revelation I took it in to Macworx up in Joondalup and they replaced it on the spot!

If it is and you are leaving mail on the server, go to Mail File Preferences Select the Account, select the Advanced Tap, check Remove copy from server after retrieving a message:, and select “Remove Now”. That will leave nothing on the mail server if you are comfortable with that. Then, manually delete any additional messages that may be taking up extra space. You can then remove as much as possible from your Hard Drive until you have enough Free Space on it. Sounds like your Mail might require some clearing out and your Hard Drive.

Assuming you are migrating towards Lion on your iMac, you have a number of options to run 10.6 Snow Leopard in an auxiliary role. Here is a setup that I recently put in place for someone with an iMac. A large internal partition of the hard drive runs OS X 10.7 Lion and this partition also contains all the data files, while a much smaller internal partition contains OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard can see all the data files available to Lion. To boot into Snow Leopard, one just restarts the computer while holding down the Option key and one sees a selection menu to choose either operating system. By default the computer boots into OS X 10.7 Lion. To get this setup proceed as follows. I will give just a thumbnail sketch of the steps below, but if you want to proceed and can't follow the abbreviated steps, please write back to the group. 1) Make a clone of your system to an external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or equivalent, just to give you an exit strategy should something go wrong. 2) Use Disk Utility to make a new small partition on your internal drive, 50 - 150 GB should be ample. Use the default Mac OS Extended (journaled) format. 3) Run the Lion upgrade application to move your main system to OS X 10.7 Lion. 4) Install a new copy of Snow Leopard on the small partition and install the software you would like to run under Snow Leopard there. Now you can will boot into Lion by default but can boot into Snow Leopard by holding down the Option key. You can run Freehand and Photoshop CS2 by booting into Snow Leopard. There are a number of variations to the above. One is to put Snow Leopard on an external drive. If this is bootable (as described by Ronni below) you can boot into it by holding down the option key. Another variation is to use copy your original bootable Snow Leopard install back to the the small partition -- this, however, will likely require you to make your Snow Leopard install much smaller by deleting redundant files. Remember that while you may not be able run certain applications on both systems, all the data files of each operating system are visible to both operating systems, so there is not need to maintain two copies of your data files. One small complication is that you need to stop Spotlight from indexing both operating system application files. That is to say, if you use Spotlight to launch, say, Disk Utility (as I do), you don't want the Lion version showing up in Snow Leopard, and the Snow Leopard version showing up in Lion. This is solved by excluding the Snow Leopard Application file from within the Spotlight preferences on Lion, and excluding the Lion Application folder from within the Spotlight preferences on Snow Leopard.

By doing this, my work MBP is not being disturbed by any ‘glitches’ that I might find using Lion.

Hi Robert,
Don't panic, I think you are in a reasonably good position.
I just want to confirm where you stand. The way I read it, you have the
following
1) A fully operational OS X 10.7 Lion install on your main hard drive
2) A backup of your old system on an external drive
3) A non-functioning install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on a partition of
your main hard drive.
So let's see if we can get you to where you need to be from where you are.
On problem seems to be that Lion does not boot up by default. To change
that please try the following:
* By holding down the Option key, boot into Lion.
* Bring up System Preferences = Startup Disk
* Select Mac OS X, 10.7 as the system you want to use to start up your
computer
The system should now reboot into Lion.
Don't worry about Spotlight for now, it will do no harm and we can fix that
later.
Finally, I have a question for you. Please do the following:
* With the computer shut down, plug in your external hard drive -- the one
with the Snow Leopard 10.6 backup on it.
* Reboot while holding down the Option key
Does the external drive appear as a start up option?
If so select it and see if you boot up into your old system.

On initial attempt to access it I get a Certificate Invalid prompt that says Certificate for this server is invalid, you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be Bigpond, etc., etc. The certificate looks OK. to me however when I click connect I get the Password Rejected, Please re enter it etc. which gets me nowhere and it goes Off Line. I have run the Keychain First Aid and permissions correction to no avail. I searched the WAMUG Archive and found the posting for the last time I had this problem but was unable to find the answer that fixed it. I will, once again, be indebted to the list if anyone can solve this problem for me.

Re: re telstra
After all the Hoo Ha about the evils of Telstra (I've been with Bigpond for several years now and apart from the fact that they are expensive, have never had a problem) I've just signed up with Highway1 who are offering very competitive rates and are Mac sensitive.Just hope I've made a right move!

It has worked for me when even Diskwarrior has failed. It fixes a multitude of problems with the disk catalog, permissions, and many other things. In fact, I had to use it on my old G4 tower just a week or so ago following an iTunes upgrade. the computer would not progress past a solid blue screen, but following a restart in Single User Mode and running fsck ,everything came back to normal and it's been running perfectly ever since. -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- 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]
