apple iPhone facial mapping - Blade runner

[gdorn@me]

Watching the apple show last night, what struck me about the facial mapping 
feature, was that it appears to be quite similar to " point cloud mapping"

There are apps and iPad/iPhone addons that allow an can create 3D digital 
scans. such as structure sensor.  
https://structure.io/use/3d-scanning

and trimensional
http://www.trimensional.com

I can imagine that if other  future apps can make use of this inbuilt scanning 
hardware, photographs can be taken that will capture the scene in 3D such that 
it can then be explored  ( via AR)  - kinda like the scene in Blade Runner when 
Decker sticks a photo into his scanner then wanders around the photo!

and if that becomes the case, then i Imagine 'privacy' may become a real issue.

just some thoughts

passing of Bill Parker

[gdorn@me]

Hi Wamug
This may a notice of WAMUGS Bill Parker passing away.
If not my apologies

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1744507319196872=19128610156



Another good man gone. Vale (Dr) Bill Parker, renaisance man,...
Bill sat at the back of his school class in UK and couldnt see a thing so 
considered not too bright. Later, the miracle of glasses. and Dr Bill 
Parker, microbiologist, self taught musician to performance standard, folk 
dancer, rowing coach, sustainable house designer and goodness knows what else 
and a hell of a lot of fun to share adventures with in 'The Red Sea 
Pedestrians"... We rehearsed every Saturday afternoon for months to develop a 
sound and style and a playlist, with Bill and David Hoffman combing through 
hundreds of Klezmer recordings and folk songs , transcribing to written music ( 
usually printed on the back of used documents of a dubious nature) then a 
unique Jewish or Academic style of struggle for the best result whereby 
everyone was equal and stood up powerfully for their view or ideas and yet no 
one was insulted and inclusion in the group as a peer was a given. A powerful 
result developed and we performed at The Oz concert, various arts council or 
city council "concerts in the park", at some amazing weddings, a couple of Bar 
Mitzvahs, music festivals including Nannup, Fairbridge, Bridgetown Rhapsody, 
Kulcha Club, live recording for the ABC etc, We started out thinking it would 
be Jewish weddings and Bar Mitzvahs but developed into a 40 minute show act 
where we came on and played a "show" of great music with a non stop flow 
between pieces. Melanie Jones transferred her bush dance calling skills across 
to teaching audiences folk dances from Jewish and Russian roots which was 
hugely popular. Bill had a wickedly surprising sense of humour that went down a 
treat. One of our early gigs was a huge wedding in a marquee on Bindoon farm, 
Son of leading Jewish family marries daughter of major Italian restaurant 
family ... so we added in a suite of Italian songs and the joy and dancing at 
the wedding was amazing and we kept the italian and latin stuff in the play 
list, along with Jazz crossovers derived from Klezmer.
Going to the big shows or festivals with the band was good for our family as 
the band was just one of many good acts on the programme so we got to enjoy the 
whole show, have trips away, hear and see things we otherwise would not have 
thought of. Reuben used to come with me often to the Saturday afternoon 
rehearsals and I reckon he saw a model there of how hard you can work at 
knocking a band into shape. :-)
So now Bill is gone and David has sent this to the West Australian death 
notices.
"Suddenly Monday night, our founding band member, clarinetist, transcribing 
musician, farmer, Perth Morris Man, scientist and friend. Bill, there was so 
much more you longed to do. Mel, Paul, David and all Red Sea Pedestrians 
Klezmer Band members
Regards,
David Hoffman "
For me, there is of course the sense of loss and of compassion for those 
closest to Bill, but also very strongly a great reminder and a realisation of 
how fortunate I have been to share so much creativirty and enjoyment with such 
people as Bill and everyone in that crazy band.

Hi Juliet
I use an app called phototransferapp

http://www.phototransferapp.com

which allows both download and upload via wifi  to any computer on the wifi 
network via a web browser.

I've found it easier and faster than itunes - but is does not sync like itunes.

HI Ronnie
I appreciate this advice, - we get phone calls like this rather regularly.  
They certainly make it difficult to discern who are legitimate phone calls.

iphone/ipad backups

[gdorn@me]

Hi WAMUG

The other day, a family members  iPhone accidentally dropped into a toilet 
bowl!   and no longer starts ups .   This phone hadn't been backup up for  some 
time, thus a few months of photos, lecture notes, ideas  and the like evidently 
can not be recovered - so say Apple.

Thus I take this opportunity to remind members to routinely back up your 
iPhones ; if you have anything important on them you want to keep - just in 
case a wet accident occurs.

I went to backup up my iPhone and get the 

"iTunes could not connect to the iPhone " Gary Dorn iPhone" because an 
invalid response was received from the device"

apple mail - drafts

[gdorn@me]

Helo Wamug

RE: Apple Mail 5.3
Mac os 10.7.5


Drafts

could someone please enlighten me to the workings of Apple mail, in partilcular 
how Mail box Drafts work

 I understand this is the place where email is temporarily stored until it is 
sent.

but

sometime I send an email and is shows up  in both DRAFTS and SENT

does that mean its hasn't been sent ?

Mail help says 
Save and send draft messages
If you’re writing a message and want to finish it later, you 
can save it as a draft. Mail saves drafts automatically a few   
   seconds after you start to write a message. If you quit Mail while an unsent 
message is open, Mail saves it as a draft  automatically.
Drafts mailbox
The Drafts mailbox contains messages you’ve saved but haven’t sent yet. The 
Drafts mailbox remains displayed until there are no drafts and you quit Mail.

Send draft messages
When you’re done writing the message and it’s ready to send, click the Send 
icon in the toolbar or choose Message > Send.
If you have several drafts to send, select them in the mailbox where you store 
drafts and choose Message > Send.
By default, drafts are stored in the Drafts mailbox. 

Further to the above, for the past year, I am also finding that some emails, 
particularly those that are either forwarded or replied, completely disappear 
from my mail boxes - simply can't find them!

thanks in advance for any advice or word so wisdom.

Re: iMac & mavericks: start up disk problems

[gdorn@me]

Howdy 
Further to the problems we've had with our iMac harddisk, it is evidently a 
Seagate 2TB purchased+ installed feb 2013 by Macworx Joondalup. They have 
confirmed that its a dead harddrive and is still in warranty ( 3yrs) - return 
to base.

So we had them install a 250 GB SDD in the Superdrive bay, so we can install a 
replacement harddrive in the HD bay when it arrives .

Question

The files in time machine are total 650 GB - too much for the 250 GB SDD!

In migration assistant - its has the option to select which files/folders to 
migrate.

What is the minimum files/folders can we migrate from the time machine to the 
SDD so that we can atleast use the important business files.

hmm there are other questions attached to this - I might just start another 
thread on it.

migrate assistant for 2TB hardisk to new 250 GB SDD transfer

[gdorn@me]

Howdy

Following on from the previous thread about our dead hard drive problems, we 
had installed a smaller 250 GB SDD.

Thus until we have the original 2TB hard dive replaced, we need to operate from 
a smaller file/folder set.

I've read that creating a new user and then copy /paste select folders to that 
user from the Time Machine backup will cause permission/ownership issues,   
therefore we are better of using Migration Assistant.   ie 
Applications>Utilities>Migration Assistant


My first look at Migration Assistant saids that we can select what to transfer 
over ie which Users and which folders.

migration assistant says to select from the following:

Applications 28 GB
User 1 9.8 GB
User 2 93 GB
User 3 628 MB
user 4 335 GB -  ( this is the one we want to keep going) consists of 
Library 35 GB
docs 23 GB
music 7.6 GB
Pics 248 GB
other data 20mb

User 5 30 GB
User 6 20 GB
User 7 116 GB
 
Other Files and Folders 2.38 GB
Computer and Network setting 39MB




 - we are particularly keen and getting Sticky Notes over for one  User 4 ( 
normally kept in Users/Library/stickies database  - but is not visible on the 
Time Machine backup - there is no User>Library folder) along with Work folder, 
Email, Contacts


What would be the minimum folders to migrate over ? 

What happens if we only do a partial migration ?

Hope the above make sense.

Re: iMac & mavericks: start up disk problems

[gdorn@me]

Hi Neil
thanks for the suggestion.
I'd agree- be much easer to put in a 2TB hardisk now migrate over to it and run 
it as a dual drive setup. We were hoping that the damaged harddrive would be 
replaced straight away, but unfortunately for us, it evidently has to be 
returned to manufacture first (Seagate).

We've only just have enough money to do SSD  or the HD at the moment  not both. 
- and figured that a SSD would be a better investement for now.

If we can get the drive off this week - hopefully by the time my Wife gets back 
into here work seriously again ( mid Jan) the replacement may have arrived.

Re: iMac & mavericks: start up disk problems

[gdorn@me]

I've checked the TM backup using a macbook - it was visible  and readable in 
Finder. ( dec 5 2015)

I've downloaded DiskMaker X and have started the making of the Mavericks 
installer to USB - how long ought this take - so far its been saying

" DiskMaker X prepares your disk ... please wait " 

for over 60 minutes now.

Re: iMac & mavericks: start up disk problems

[gdorn@me]

Further to the advice noted below, how do I go about checking  that the Time 
Machine backup we supposedly have actually exists and is accessible. 
I say this because for a while, the time machine had be turned off and I 
frequently find that the usb cable unplugged.

So I would like to check the status of time machine before doing anything else.

How would I do this - I have access to a macbook with Mavericksor Yosemite and 
a macpro with Lion

youtube - apple demo 1989 by John sculley

[gdorn@me]

Hi Wamuggers, 
FYI
Found this "historic"  you tube video

even though what is demonstrated is now common place - ie 3D modelling  - the 
software demonstrated - Architrion, has been updated into BoA, which is what I 
use everyday  and pretty much still does the same thing.

apple termites

[gdorn@me]

howdy all
thought this might be of interest

we discovered termites under our suspended timber floor the other day
on further inspection of where I store my apple boxes, it appears that termites 
prefer the apple boxes over other makers.

Thus My G4 , collectable Bondi IMac and 20 inch screen boxes have all be eaten 
to various stages, including the foam packaging.

What a bugga.


I was advised by an entomologist to stick boxes outside in sun, open up as much 
as possible and let the predators go for it - ie ants, birds, spiders

Was an amazing site how quickly these predators forraged for the juicey white 
termites.

Of note , is that I inspected that area back in January 10, where there was no 
sign of them.

 my previous reply:
 /Begin Quote:
 
 Save As has simply become Duplicate Duplicate is better than the old 
 system. And so is Revert To Saved, which works way better than the old Quit 
 and then answer No to Do you want so save your changes?. 
 
 You get the same functionality with basically the same number of keystrokes 
 overall, but you get a LOT more flexibility and a lot more safety net under 
 you with the new system. 
 
 For example, if you make some changes, then decide you don't want them and 
 you Revert To Saved, then Quit, the document will look just like it was 
 before your changes. 
 Drag-n-drop it, attach it to an email, it is unchanged. BUT you can actually 
 retrieve the changes in the revision history if you later decide you want to 
 look at them, or copy some of them, or actually use that version.
 
  A LOT more flexible, unless you're worried about subpoena's and want no 
 evidence you ever thought of making any changes. (In which case, you should 
 be worried about temp files and all kinds of other issues.) 
 
  A new feature of OS X Lion http://tuaw.com/tag/lion is Auto Save, which is 
 going to stop a lot of Mac users from doing the Command-S twitch. Versions is 
 another related feature that keeps copies of different versions of your 
 documents for posterity. 
 
  Auto Save takes a snapshot of whatever you happen to have open on the screen 
 in an app at any particular time, and saves it for you. Let's say that you 
 have TextEdit open with three different documents, all scattered about on 
 your 27 display. 
 None of the documents have been saved, and you suddenly realize that you need 
 to leave for a meeting. You quit out of TextEdit, and the familiar Do you 
 want to save the changes you made in...? dialog doesn't appear. No problem. 
 The next time you launch TextEdit, all three of those documents open up in 
 the exact same locations on your screen that they were in originally. 
 
  Use File  Save just once: When you do decide to save a new document, to 
 give it a title and location on disk, use the File  Save menu item. 
 Afterwards, the File  Save menu item won’t appear for this document. 
 Instead, you’ll see File  Save a Version 
 
 Work in a duplicate: If you’re about to do something in a document that might 
 prove disastrous (such as a global Find-and- Replace), choose File  
 Duplicate to get a new, unsaved document whose contents are identical to the 
 current state of the original document. 
 
  Export is self explanatory - if you wish to export your document, or print 
 to PDF

I have some of my own scanned images which I need to rotate.

I open them in Preview - unlock the file as requested, rotate, save - says

The document “. sk 3.png” could not be saved. The file is locked.
Do you want to save it anyway

press save anyway

now says

You don’t have permission to save the file “... sk 3.png”.

To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File  
Get Info.


yep did that - Get info says;  Meprivilege  Read and Write

upgrade to lion 10.7.5 - feedback

[gdorn@me]

thanks to those who provided advice on my upgrade form 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.5 - 
Daniel , Ronni etc

I had a significant problem with iCloud after the update. - ie mail iCal, 
address book not working at all ( crashing)

Eventually I rang Apple support and with the help of Harris in Sydney, fixed it 
up - took about 90 mins on the phone and his screen watching utility 

solution was a complete removal of UserLibrary folder

Evidently its a known fault that some people have issues with iCloud when 
upgrading and the heavy weight solution is to remove the library altogether , 
then rebuild it slowly via Time machine.

So its now working okay

My peeves with Lion are

In Preview

Save As has gone. instead   we have save a version, duplicate - which does 
not suit me at all.
How do I change an image resolution /size now?

Lions Safari 5.1.7 does not work - (crashes on opening)

 I've done the normally searching, looking in Mac App Store, google-ing and 
 looking around, but thought I'd ask for what people may be using out there.
 (And yes I know some were mentioned recently in previous posts for PDF 
 editors etc, and I've looked at those as well).
 
 As I don't use these myself (as don't have the need) then just going by 
 reviews and write ups etc (or downloading lots and testing some which I've 
 done) doesn't always give the best feedback.
 
 So thought I'd ask people out there what they use and feel is worth the money

 Or do you reckon we will still be able to “just” store them on our Mac ?
 
 Hi Steven,
 
 If you do upgrade your iPhoto Library to the Yosemite - Photos App, your 
 Photos will be stored in iCloud.
 Apple have mentioned:
 That that the company will be ceasing development of Aperture and iPhoto, 
 offering Photos for OS X as a replacement, which was first shown at WWDC.
 With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, 
 enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them 
 from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture. When Photos for 
 OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture 
 libraries to Photos for OS X.
 Apple says libraries will be able to migrate across to the new application 
 when the application ships. Apple is working with Adobe to offer a upgrade 
 path to Lightroom. As noted by TechCrunch, Apple will offer a Yosemite 
 compatibility update for Aperture, but otherwise development has ended.

 Will I still be able to store all my photos ‘On My Mac’ or ‘Do I have to 
 store them on iCloud’?
 
 with the new iPhoto app will I still be able to store all my photos on my Mac 
 or do I have to store them on iCloud?
 
 Apple Might Finally Solve Photo Storage Hell
 
 http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/22/apple-might-finally-solve-photo-storage-hell/
 
 As for the expense, Apple has already announced very reasonable new iCloud 
 pricing; $50/year for 200GB is great. For comparison, Dropbox is $200/year 
 for 200GB.
 
 This is my hope for iCloud Photo Library. I have a feeling it’ll be a 
 fraction of this at first, but over time grow into the service I’ve always 
 wanted. Although this would obviously only work for people who have adopted 
 the Apple ecosystem, I think it could be one of the most straightforward, 
 turnkey solutions that could exist, and would be very appealing to Apple’s 
 entire customer base.
 
 Apple to challenge Dropbox with iCloud Drive
 
 Apple took the wraps off a new cloud storage service called iCloud Drive at 
 its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) today. The new service will take on 
 wildly popular services like Dropbox will feature deep integration with 
 devices running OS X Yosemite and iOS 8. 
 
 http://www.zdnet.com/apple-to-challenge-dropbox-with-icloud-drive-730118/
 
 Will Apple's Photos app solve 'photo bankruptcy'?
 
 http://www.cnet.com/news/is-apples-new-photo-app-the-backup-and-sharing-solution-weve-been-waiting-for/
 
 iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite will change the way you do photography

 10 cool new features in Photos for iOS 8 and Mac OS X Yosemite
 
 http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/iphone/10-cool-new-features-in-photos-for-ios-8-mac-os-x-yosemite-3525732/
 
 That's as much as I can do for now, until we get closer to a release date and 
 more information from Apple.
 I can imagine requiring 200GB of iCloud storage.

 Ronni

 Hello Gary,
 
 Connect your iPad to iTunes, backup and Update to iOS 7.1
 I have heard of 'temporarily' lost email accounts in iOS 7.0.4
 
Hi Ronni Thanks for the suggestion

All the accounts - mine, kids, are on apples icloud server, , hence show up  on 
other computers

although I do find that some sent emails only show up on the source.

Anyway, these also get backed up via time machine on both MacPro and iMac.

Presumably if an email account does get lost, it can be restored via 
Timemachine (less anything since last backup - 1 hr ago)

hopefully nothing will ever got lost!

It was just weird that the iPad email temporarily disappeared! -

 I personally would NOT recommend 'hacking' to install Mavericks on an

 Read all the comments on the forums from people who have attempted this.
 If you do decide to attempt any of the below 'hacks', make sure you backup 
 first... have backups which include a bootable backup ( test you can boot 
 from your backup) of your current system.
 
I admit I haven't read all the forum comments.

Advice understood and accepted

The shiny black thermal tinny ( new mac pro) is looking kinda attractive.

ps I suppose there is no other way to have syncing with Snow leopard and iCloud

Hi Ronda, thanks for you help

 iTunes can convert video to iOS iPad format.
 
 Are you playing (trying to play) these videos in safari on your iPad 2?

no i've only played them via Video - they played find under previous IOS

 Do you have the VLC for iOS installed on your iPad? VLC plays all your video 
 formats for free.
 VLC for iOS 2.1.3

 If nothing above helps:
 Try a System Reset.  It cures many problems and it's quick, easy and 
 harmless...
 
 Hold down the On/Off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see 
 the Apple logo.  
 Ignore the Slide to power off text if it appears.  
 You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
 

doing System reset as suggested

after resync - videos now appear to be working
yippee

 The red dot/white simply means that the certificate is out of date. The 
 certificate is just an electronic document confirming that you are who you 
 say you are. If you select one of the certificates and click Show 
 Certificate you will see all the information it contains. This is of no real 
 significance though. Just choose one (probably either of the .Mac ones) and 
 click Continue. You will be asked at some point to confirm in your keychain 
 that the certificate is correct. Just follow all the leads. You should 
 eventually arrive at the shopping page.

Yes they all have expired
selecting either one keeps coming back to the same notice - ie a valid 
certificate is required.

interestingly - I tied the online shop address in Firefox, opened okay - could 
it be a safari thing then?

McNeal make a a number of associated applications- grasshopper, flamingo,

I've subscribed to the Rhino mac family - the free use of the application lasts 
about 6 weeks, I've never had enough free time to venture into it to say if its 
easy or not to use.
The full mac version is not available yet - its still in development hence the 
free limited time versions.
The full win version costs $1000

 Could be a driver issue; check you are using the latest driver for the

downloading and reinstalling drivers says I had already the latest driver (

 In Applications  Utilities -  'Epson Scan Settings'; check the settings are

hmm - no such app present  - did search - nothing of that sort found.

Is it likely to be a (old ) hardware issue.

 Hi Gary,
 
 Does the Scanner show in System Profiler  USB ? 

No it didn't

I did a restart, it showed up , so I did a scan - worked

hope I don't have to keep doing that!

Could  something be wrong ?

thanks

Re: Apple event roundup - prices!

[gdorn]

I've noted the price difference of the iphone 5 between USA and Australia and 
others on the Apple stores


iphone 5
lightning adaptor

USA $199= $175  AU  
$29 US  = $25 AU
OZ $799 = $799 AU   
$35 AU  = $35 AU
S $948 (singapore?)  = $603 AU  $42 SGD 
= $32 AU
HK $5588= 630 $AU   
$238 HKD= $26 AU

Anyone got any thoughts an why there is such a price difference for the phone 
when the accessories are fairly evenly/similarly priced?

Aren't these things made in Singapore or Taiwan or somewhere around SE Asia.

mail since mobile me move to icloud

[gdorn]

Hello WAMUG

After the demise of mobile me, I moved over to iCloud- for email only ( running 
OS 10.6.8)

I have 4 accounts ( in preferences accounts on this Mac Pro  they all say 
MobileMe IMAP, all Port 993 use SSL and authentication password

It took a while but eventually got all my email accounts converted to iCloud  - 
I even  transferred my WAMUG membership over from my garydorn@ausconnect 
address to this one.

for a quite a while now, when I go send, a message comes up saying

Cannot send message using the server smtp.me.com:gdorn
Sending the message content to the server failed
select a different outgoing mail server form the list below or click try Later 
to leave the message in the your Outbox until it can be sent
Sending form gdorn  gd...@me.com)

This seems to occurs at irregular intervals in all the accounts

Is there some setting I have not selected or adjusted?



Any advice appreciated

thanks

Re: mail since mobile me move to icloud

[gdorn]

I think I may have just fixed my issue up

1. set from to gd...@me.com  instead of gd...@mac.com and has started to send

2. used the correct wamug address!

sorry for taking up bandspace with my nonsense.

 Hi Gary,
 
 I don't think you have your iCloud Mail Account setup correctly.

 iCloud Account should say iCloud IMAP (not MobileMe IMAP)
 Authentication: Apple Token (Not Password)
 Outgoing Mail Server: iCloud (iCloud)
 TLS Certificate: None
 Incoming Mail Server: p01 -imap.mail.me.com
 User Name: whatever your user name is
 Password: whatever your iCloud Account password is

hmm my settings are different to these.
all accounts say Mobile Me IMAP
authentication:  no option for Apple  token
outgoing servier is smtp.me.com.gdorn (for this account)
imcoming server is mail.me.com ( greyed out)

Have I done something wrong?
