iOS7
Hi I have upgraded both my iPhone and iPad to ios7 and so far am liking it.. Apart from the fact that all my group icons are now multipage. For me the whole point of putting icons in a group icon was to have less finger clicks to see all my icons. Now I have some split over three pages , is there a way to make them all in one screen again.

Re: iOS7
Sorry Ronni. My terminology is bad. I meant folders. Before my folders held all of the icons on one screen. Now it splits them over several screens.

Re: iOS7
Thanks Ronni. That explains it perfectly. To paraphrase Paddington, I.m a bear of simple tastes. I liked having 16 in one view rather than having to swipe three times to get the same info.

Now it splits them over several screens. Don't like it in iOS 7 the most useful change to the primary interface has been the implementation of multi-page folders. While the first introduction of folders with iOS 6 helped minimize clutter and limit your homescreen from spilling into several pages, iOS 7 makes it possible to consolidate all of your apps and folders to a single screen. Previously limited to 16 apps, folders in iOS 7 can now hold an infinite number of games and apps. Apps are arranged in pages of nine with the ability to scroll through numerous subpages by swiping left and right. In iOS 6, a collection spanned several folders and multiple pages, making the process of finding specific titles more challenging. Now, they're all in one easy to navigate folder! I like it!

Re: iPod Classic Battery finaly dead
I have a 30 gb iPod dating from around that time that I have upgraded twice. The first was with a hi capacity battery that I think was the 1200 mAh and the second was with a 250 gb ssd. The later required using a 60 gb back as the 30 gb back was a slimmer version. This construction of my quarter terrapod was done a few years ago but I remember it was very simple and as long as you choose the correct retailer they gave full support including the right tools and a money back guarantee. It's still going strong and I use it as apron able backup device as well as containing all my iTunes and iMovie Best Regards Hugh Griffiths On 12/09/2013, at 4:32 PM, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Marcus, We would need more exact detail of your Model iPod for anyone to give any advise.

Important: Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder will NOT remove the original images from your Library With iPhoto'11: 1. Quit iPhoto 2. In Finder go to Pictures iPhoto Library. 3. Control-click on the iPhoto Library and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents 4. Locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete this folder. 5. Try syncing photos again. All selected photos will need to be re-optimized again, which will automatically create a new iPod Photo Cache folder in your iPhoto library, If you still find you are unable to sync the landscape photos: 1.

Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit $35 http://store.apple.com/au/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit Lightning to 30-pin Adaptor $35 for iPhone 5, iPad (4th generation) Retina Display, iPad mini, iPod nano 7th Generation iPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB/64GB http://store.apple.com/au/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=3a With a camera full of images and the iPad Camera Connection Kit in hand, follow these steps: 1. Insert the camera’s SD card into the SD card adapter, or connect a USB cable between the camera and the USB adapter. 2. Unlock the iPad if it’s currently asleep, and plug the adapter into the iPad’s dock connector. After a few seconds, the Photos app launches, and a new Camera button appears on the bar at the top of the screen. Thumbnails of the available photos and video clips appear below. 3. Now, do one of the following: *To copy all of the items to the iPad, tap the Import All button. *To be more selective, tap the items you wish to import; a blue checkmark symbol indicates the item is queued for import. Once you’ve made your selections, tap the Import button; the app gives you one last chance to import all items, or you can import just the selected ones. 4. After the transfer is complete, you’re asked if you want to delete the imported items from the camera or keep them. Tap the Keep button—it’s usually better to format memory cards within the camera instead. The photos and videos are found in two new albums: All Imported and Last Import (which shows just the most recent imported images). - You might be interested in reading this: How to achieve Retina display-worthy photos for the new iPad http://www.macworld.com/article/1167865/how_to_achieve_retina_display_worthy_photos_for_the_new_ipad.html Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 07/08/2013, at 10:17 AM, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Hugh, No, iTunes automatically optimizes the photos for the best viewing on the iPad.

Hugh Subject: Re: Adieu From: cm200...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:06:13 +0800 To: wamug@wamug.org.au Hi Peter and Eugene and other list members, We list followers are really grateful for your contributions over the years and we contributors are honoured to have been able to help you out on other occasions. I just wanted to let you know that there is no need at all to end your connection with WAMUG. You will still be able to read any and all posts to the list, and you will still continue to receive WAMUG emails to your inbox unless you choose to stop them. Also if you ever happen to be passing through Perth, meetings are open to all and we would love to see you there. The decision to allow posting to only members was not made lightly. Running the list has a very real cost, both financial and in the time of contributors, fairness dictates that those who pay the membership fee are entitled to use the service above other persons who join, post a random question or put up for sale a piece of equipment, and then disappear. Sadly neither of you, Peter and Eugene, are anywhere near to this category of user so I have two solutions to suggest. Firstly remember that the WAMUG membership fee is less than a reasonable call-out charge for most Mac consultants. So if at some future time you need a consultant, consider joining our list and with luck we will all pitch in, fix the problem, and you will come out financially ahead. The second solution I would like to offer is that at the next committee meeting we will discuss some bursaries for members who really cannot afford to pay the membership fee. This would be entirely confidential between the prosp ec tive member and WAMUG. If the committee is in agreement you will see a mail out on this subject after the next committee meeting on July 17 and our website will be updated to reflect this. So I really hope this is arrivederci rather than adieu, and if not we are grateful for your contribution to WAMUG.

ipad sim in europe
Hi my parents are traveling in Europe and my mum has taken her ipad with her, she purchased a local sim but has been told she cant activate it without connection to a computer and itunes, I thought it was possible to do this manually, but a quick search using google doesn't shed enough light on it for me to advise them, as I don't want to steer them the wrong way and for them to purchase another sim that doesn't work. They will be mainly in the UK and then Spain, then France and finally Italy ( but they wont need a sim in italy, I don't think, as they are staying with friends who are sure to have wifi). Does anyone have experience with setting up ipad2 with latest OS and new sim purchased in UK and or Spain and or France?

The power issue is the one I would be the most cautious with, USB is 5 v or less, but firewire can be up to 40 V ( different ampages as well and I would be very worried as the pins for power would be different as well) Hugh Subject: Re: Cables: USB 3 - Firewire800 From: wa...@macwizardry.com.au Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:03:27 +0800 To: wamug@wamug.org.au Got in before I did Carlo :) So won't rehash what you've written,..lol :) But yes, I'd be a bit cautious. The other thing would be if you'd see any real world speed difference. The USB3 would only be running at USB2 speed as that is what the Mac would expect, so it's not going to convert to Firewire speeds, so I think you'd still be gaining USB2 speeds anyway. So no real improvement. I could be wrong here, but I also had the impression there were differing data versus power consumptions through both a USB and Firewire cable. (ie one pulls through or expects more power and data then the other). So wouldn't want to fry anything if there was. Again, I could be wrong there,... Found this info as well, which may help with it... /quote Firewire is isochronous, basically meaning that you can pump clocked data though it in real time. USB works more like TCPIP, with the data chopped up into packets and later reassembled. (Thus, at a minimum, you have latency, that is, the wait for the data to be put back together.) Second, the Firewire protocol allows more direct address to memory (including mass storage) with minimal intervention of the CPU. /end quote I can't lay my hands on the other info I thought I had and Siri can only do so much when driving,..lol ;) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone 4s --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: daniel AT macwizardry.com.au Web: http://www.macwizardry.com.au **For everything Macintosh** On 27/04/2012, at 8:46 AM, cm wrote: Hi Merv and Peter, I would be wary of those connectors.

Re: Bigpond 3.0
Many thanks for that. My experience was similar in that I unplugged the old modem and plugged the new one in, once it booted I was able to login to it using the 192.168.0.1 address wirelessly and the default admin password. I then set up a new wap password and was able to wirelessly connect to the Telstra website to login and register the new modem. I could then connect using iMac, 2 iPhones 2ipads and a MacBook all wirelessly, but neither the MacBook, appletv, timecapsule or DVr could connect using ethernet cables. I now think that Telstra support must be right and the modem is faulty Best Regards Hugh Griffiths mobile +61 407 477 311 On 24/02/2012, at 12:23, Tim Law t...@peoplehelp.com.au wrote: Hello Hugh, I have recently changed my Bigpond supplied Netgear CG814WG Cable modem which seemed to drop out several times a day. The helpful http://whirlpool.net.au/ forum guided me to purchase a Motorola 5101i single port modem from ebay. I have just this morning got the system functional with a SnapGear 300 router that connects the Modem to my home network. It wasn't all that simple, but I've achieved what I wanted. My experience with the Bigpond installation CD was dismal on the Mac and I carefully followed every single animated picture but the modem would not connect to Bigpond. When I rang Bigpond Tech support, they got me to fire up a PC - shame on me, yes I do have some in the house that belong to my boys. Parenting fail I know. But the PC didn't work either and the Phone support guy could see that I had a modem connected, but that it was not registered properly. Then the guy tells me to simply unplug the old Netgear router/modem, plug the new one into the Mac and he would transfer me to Mac support. I had removed the Bigpond installation CD, and bingo the Mac OSX worked it all out - unlike the PC and without the dubious benefit of the installation CD. I assume Bigpond cable support would have told you they have one modem registered for your account, and that needs to be deregistered, then the new one registered for it to connect to the internet. I assume they have done some other tests to ensure your current modem is cactus. However, maybe I assume too much. I suggest you remove the installation CD from the computer, plug in your new modem/router, directly to the ethernet port (and the cable as an input), restart your modem and your computer, open up a web browser and see what comes up. Hopefully your modem will try to reregister and you can see how you go. You might reinstall your old unit in the meantime if this doesn't, but my suggestion is to leave that CD in it's packet and disregard any self doubt about whether using a PC would have helped.

If so have a look at PST Bridge. PST Bridge is two applications in one. Not only you may use it to convert your existing Outlook PST files to be used on Lion. You may also use PST Bridge to display your PST file contents without the need of conversion. Simply open your files and start browsing its contents! PST Bridge will always show and export 10 items per folder. To remove this limitation, you may unlock it using In-App purchases. VIEWER: This feature is ideal for users that continue to use Outlook, but still want to have frequent access to their PST files on Lion. Unlike other programs, the user does not need to be constantly exporting and importing. PST Bridge is able to read PST files directly. It then presents its contents on its own user interface. It can also interact with Apple Mail, in order to reply or forward messages from the PST file. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pst-bridge/id457503727?mt=12 Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.7.3 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 13/02/2012, at 10:57 AM, hugh griffiths wrote: Hi, I recently left the company I was working for and my email backups from my ex-work laptop are outlook pst files, compressed using whatever the standard win7 compress tool is.

What most likely happened was that when you used the third user account a new library was created. That is why you can't find the photos from the shared library. I am not sure what the best tools for this would be. I am guessing Spotlight will only search the currently logged on users files and would not find any files belonging to other users so it might not be the best.

In the past this information would stay active until your password changed, now it requires me to reauthenticate every time I wake from sleep/select network based app. Using iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.0 ( but I see similar behavior with my iPad2 running iOS 5.0) and security on all other wireless networks saved is saved?

Connect a USB cable between the camera and the USB adapter. 2. Unlock the iPad if it¹s currently asleep, and plug the adapter into the iPad¹s dock connector. After a few seconds, the Photos app launches, and a new Camera button appears on the bar at the top of the screen. Thumbnails of the available photos and video clips appear below. 3. Now, do one of the following: *To copy all of the items to the iPad, tap the Import All button. *To be more selective, tap the items you wish to import; a blue checkmark symbol indicates the item is queued for import. Once you¹ve made your selections, tap the Import button; the app gives you one last chance to import all items, or you can import just the selected ones. 4. After the transfer is complete, you¹re asked if you want to delete the imported items from the camera or keep them. Tap the Keep buttonit¹s better to format memory cards within the camera instead. The photos and videos are found in two new albums: 'All Imported' and 'Last Import' (which shows just the most recent imported images).

I have been watching this discussion with interest as I have just purchased a 2TB time capsule and set up up to replace the wireless portion of by Telstra modem. I don't see any great speed difference between the Telstra wireless and the TC wireless on my ipad or iphone but do see some sped up on my Imac and MB, but I was expecting more speed up How do I know which network 2.4 or 5 each device is connecting to? Apart from airport utility is there any way to tweak the broadcast settings of the TC?

Thanks Ronni, I will check all of these, but im pretty sure that they are all correct as we have three iphones and another ipad that all sync correctly with the same computer. The only wierd thing with this ipad is that I purchased it originally in sydney and the first sync i did was with my windows laptop on sydney time as I was traveling overseas and didnt want to wait till I got home to use it. I did resync it once i got home and wiped everythign that was originally installed, but I will try a full factory reset when I get home next week and try again with a inital snyc from perth time!

If you intend to used the internet from you iPad mainly from home, work or a WiFi enabled public place, such as many cafes and libraries you can get by with the Wifi only model. You will need 3G only if you make significant use of the iPad while outside (say the map application) or in areas where you do not have access to WiFi -- perhaps customer sites if you are in the service industry. To use 3G you would need a data plan either prepay or postpay. It is true that iOS 4.3 will have a personal hotspot feature, the current version of iOS already has a tethering feature. You can only use this if your carrier allows it. Internode, for one, currently allows tethering but they could choose to charge extra for this feature at any time. ATT in the US, for instance, charges $20 a month for 1GB of data using tethering. b) How much memory? If you want the iPad mainly to run apps for yourself and your family, then the 16GB is probably sufficient. Once you start to store media on the iPad such as films or photo's they you may find that you need more memory (32GB or 64GB). I, personally, went for the 3G / 32GB model. I have not to this point used the 3G feature apart from some tests of tethering and once at a cafe with friends to show them some features of the iPad. :-}. The 32GB has been way more than enough memory for me because I keep my main iTunes collection on my MacBook Pro and only transfer a small number of films and photos to the iPad on an as needed basis. My main video consumption on the iPad is the iView feature of the ABC. iView programs can be viewed with either a dedicated iView app on the iPad, which uses no storage, or by streaming the programs from my MacBook Pro with a app called Video Server -- this also uses no storage. I went for a slightly cheaper iPad because I

Shut it down until you get a copy of Data Rescue 3. You have not mentioned what version of OS your sister is running. Data Rescue 3 specifications: • Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, 512MB RAM minimum, 1GB or more recommended • PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel, 1.0GHz processor minimum • To prevent your files from being overwritten, Data Rescue 3 requires you to have a second hard drive to recover tohttp://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php Because the operating system doesn't immediately re-use space from deleted files, we can recover trash Mac or recover deleted Mac files after emptying trash bin for a considerable time afterwards. But the probability of recovering trash Mac successfully decreases substantially the longer we use the computer after selecting ‘Empty Trash’ option, because the Mac OS X may overwrite this little free space very quickly with temp files. The greatest chance of Mac trash recovery is to stop using the Mac machine once we emptied trash bin. It is possible to recover deleted Mac files after emptying trash bin folder.

I wasnt aware that files, folders and aliases on the desktop would take up ram and system efficiency. I also wasnt aware that it would be most efficient to use the Mac's folder system like you say Ronni. At the moment I have made a folder called Work (65000 items and 60gb of stuff) that sits with the Macs' folders; Applications, Documents, Library, Music etc etc. Would I be better off putting my 'Work' folder inside the Documents folder? Yes, it should be filed in the Documents folder in your Home Folder. I also can see the 'Documents' folder on the RH side of the Dock, and when I click it, it rapidly displays the folders with in Documents, on which I can click one and it opens in Finder, like normal. Is that what you are referring to Ronni? Your Documents folder shows in the Dock which points to the Documents folder in your Home Documents folder. What I was referring to, and I'll use your Work Folder as an example (which is similar to my Work in Progress folder which is filed in my Documents folder and is sitting on my Dock for quick access. 1. File your Work Folder into your Documents folder in your Home folder 2. Then Drag your Work Folder down onto the Right Side of the Dock. If you look closely at your dock there is a dividing line. (Applications go on the left side of the divider, files and folders on the right ... Virtually using the Dock as a launcher, a place for launching applications or accessing commonly used folders) With this in mind, what is the optimum way to configure the filing/folder system? Keep all Documents in Documents folder. Create folders 'and place documents within folders' in your Documents Folder in your Home. I have numerous Folders in my Documents folder. Example, all documents relating to Leopard are in a 'Leopard Folder', Snow Leopard Documents are in a folder 'Snow Leopard' etc. Drag any folders you use everyday onto the dock .Drag your 'Work Folder' onto the dock.

You would with this hotspot be able to access the Internet from your iPad using your iPhone as a wireless hub — or vise-versa. I just ten minutes ago, as a paid-up iOS developer, downloaded and installed a beta version of iOS 4.3.

was 10.6.6 available Mac App store now open now how international companies subsidise the american market to stay in the market
This situation is not limited to electronic media, almost anything you care to purchase that is made by or marketed by an international company, from motor cars to jetski's to bbq grills is cheaper in America than it is in australia. This is simply due to market economics, the standard of living in the US is currently lower than most of the rest of the world, but the US is still the home of capitalism and as such is the market that anybody who produces consumer durables wants to corner. If that means pushing prices up in the rest of the world to subsidise a winning price point in the US then companies will do it.

It might 'seem' unfair to people that don't understand (or research) all the factors which cause the price difference. The exchange rate is only one factor in the pricing equation. Also, Apple doesn't set the prices, the record companies do, the Record Companies and Rights Holders in Australia charge iTunes. If you want to blame someone blame EMI Australia who sets the prices, not Apple. While your at it, ask the Australian book publishers why electronic books are so much more expensive in Australia than they are overseas and why all titles available on overseas stores aren't available here.

I could be wrong but I think buying from an online store would bypass the Australian taxes and there certainly isn't any shipping involved yet we pay $20 more. I wonder if it's possible to trick the store into giving you US prices by using proxy servers. Probably not but it would be interesting to see Apple's response if someone found a way to do it.

To load photos into iPhoto you just insert the card into a card reader, You don't need to actually connect cameras to computers to upload these days.

eject dvd from imac intel
Hi, I have an intel imac with a cd stuck in the dvd player. I have tried all the obvious things suggested by googling the problem, mouse button and restart, eject button, icon eject, terminal eject, the only other thing suggested is taking it apart, surely there is a non invasive way to manually eject like the old paper clip in the hole?

Disrupt the spin: If you listen carefully, you can probably hear your optical drive powering up down over and over again. As long as the disc spins, it's not coming out. 1. Find a very thin piece of cardboard or even a business card. 2. Restart your Mac and hold down the mouse/trackpad button as you poke the cardboard inside the SuperDrive slot. The goal is to slip it above the CD or DVD - towards the left side of the drive - and gently jiggle it around to put pressure on the disc. 3. You might have to continue this for up to a minute or so, but it often works when all other methods fail. There are images further instructions here: http://www.silvermac.com/2006/dvd-stuck-in-macbook-pro/ http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/ejecting_a_really_stuck_dvd_from_a_mac/ Hi Peter, With the card in the drive, startup while holding the trackpad button. The CD shouldn't be able to spin, if it doesn't eject after a short time, try moving the card to the left side of the superdrive and see if it can force the CD to eject.

RE: cable internet
Gordon, thanks for that, what is wrong with the NetGear? I as you have, have been by and large very happy with Telstra, even though they don't theoretically support mac for self install of the modem, the Telstra guy talked me through it and was very patient. I have a Motorola surfboard sbg900 and am seeing speeds of 9-10 up and 1-1.2 down but Telstra have told me if I get the netgear ( which I have but not installed yet) I should see a marked improvement on that as the SBG is only rated to 17 Mbps, but the other one is rated to 30Mbps?

Even though I was eligible for ADSL, the speed was terrible (2-3Mbps if I was lucky) and it would constantly drop out and be generally unstable, requiring many reboots of the router. Telstra Cable on the other hand has been great (even if it is a bit pricey) and is very stable. Using Speedtest.net I consistently get speed of around 11-12Mbps download and 1Mbps upload. You're probably unlikely to ever get the theoretical 30Mbps in the same way that you're unlikely to ever get ADSL2+'s theoretical 25Mbps, but I would guess that you'll probably get a good service. I'm very happy with it. A tip though, the Netgear combined modem/router that they offer (Bigpond Home Gateway they call it I think) is not very good at all. Go for the Motorola modem instead and hook it up to your own router or a computer setup with Internet sharing.

RE: Using iPhone Overseas
Rod, you mentioned Malaysia specifically, I always turn of data roaming when I am in K.L. and use the multitude of free wi fi spots, they can be found in a lot of cafe's, pub's and hotel lobbys ( you sometimes have to be a bit cheeky and say you are a guest/meeting a guest and just need the password for the free wifi in the lobby!). Malaysia generally is pretty good for internet access in hotels.

RE: NEW MacMin has a HDMI Port!
Just my 10 cents worth, I have had over the years many many meters of cabling, of many different qualities and types, from the early days of coax cable for 10baseT networking and US sourced ( because the asia sourced was not of the same quality) Monster speaker cable, and yes to some extent you get what you pay for.if you want to run any distance. HDMI is a complex cable and as such construction quality and materials used do make a difference if you are going to run a decent length. With a decent digital signal out, and a HD TV you certainly will notice the difference between a 10$ cable and a 100$ cable ( retail prices that is!) for 3 or more meters. A 10 $ cable will not very likely support full 1080p at that distance for instance. With HDMI cables due to the way the internal pairs are arranged and the need for good shielding and good quality cables ( to prevent signal distortion or loss) over distances over about 1.5 m, you can usual tell just by feeling the cable, if it is stiffish and heavy it usually is better quality that a flimsy light weight cable. I currently have HDMI runs over 8 M without boosting the signal and can get 1080p from xbox to projector by using good quality ( 50$ after discount) cables and plugs.

RE: fonts in safari
Thanks to everybody who responded ( thanks Ronni for the warning on fonts, he has downloaded 126 new fonts already!!) Option 2 worked, as soon as I removed all the fonts from the users/library/fonts directory the problem went away, but weirdly as soon as I added them back in the problem still went away, not one of the fonts seemed to be causing the problem? I suspect that not only did he add the fonts, but somehow he selected one of the bad fonts Ronni referred to in safari preferences, and it just didn't unselect. Anyway problem Solved!!

If no success there, I would look in:- Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts. Make a folder on the desktop, remove all the fonts out of that folder into the newly created folder on the desktop, then try Safari again. If it works, then great.

NB: BigPond Mobile for iPhone content is available when your iPhone is connected to the Telstra Next GT network, but is not available when accessing the internet via a WiFi hotspot. When you are in a Telstra Wireless Hot Spot (WA doesn't have many at all), you launch the BigPond Mobile for iPhone you are directed to the Telstra Wi-Fi login screen. You select the Telstra Post-Paid Mobile login option and enter your Telstra mobile phone number. Read and accept the 'Things you need to know'. You'll receive a one-time login PIN via SMS. Via the login screen, enter the 6-digit PIN and submit the details. Then when you log off from the service you'll receive an SMS containing your session details.

I was sceptical, but after getting a copy of the paperwork it seems the offer might be real - I found the offer is explained here: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=Telstra_Bigpond_Bundle_Offer For $109.95/mth they are offering cable broadband with 25Gb bandwidth plus Homeline Ultimate (local and std calls plus capped mobile). Similar for $89.95 with 12Gb bandwidth and Homeline Together (local and 0.50 untimed std calls plus capped mobile) We are in Shenton Park, the rep suggested with Cable we would get 17Mbps. On iiNet ADSL2+ we currently get 3 to 3.5Mbps. Has anyone had any experience with Telstra cable that is relevant to deciding on this? Is there any way of anticipating what the actual speed is likely to be? Is there likely to be downtime changing over from iiNet Naked DSL? Do the Telstra cable modems work with Macs?

Were all the photos taken on this day distorted? Yes, I took approximately 90- photos over five days and all are distorted 3. Did you take more photos on this Memory card in Mexico were they fine? No all photos are same, distorted 4. You have taken shots on this memory card since leaving Mexico and they were fine?

Its an interesting one as the camera was taking pictures fine even after the lcd was damaged, but it certainly sounds likeit received a further knock at some point which damaged the ccd.

probably OT but help needed sony dsc-t3
Hi, not sure if anyone can point me to some help, or even if help is possible but. I have an older sony cybershot, a DSC-T3, while visiting mexico last week I took a whole bunch of photes, whithout being able to see them as the lcd sceen on the back was smashed. Now after downloading them to my mac they are all dithered for want of a better word. It looks like one of the photo effects in the camera might have been turned on inadvertently (because we cant see the screen we cant tell). The symptom is that all the photos now appear to have been divided into a series of vertical lines, which are maybe a few pixels wide, and are displaced horizontally, by the same amount of pixels, up and then down. Is there likely to be someone who can recover these photos from the memory stick?

Re: AM/FM radio for iPhone
Am radio add ons are not generally available for portable devices due to the need for a relatively large, heavy and cumbersome aerial. If you look at most AM capable transistor radios, their form factor is due to the size of the aerial. For FM receivers the headphone cable can act as the aerial.

Re: 12V Laptop Charger
The best adaptors for this are the Targus , they come in two versions a ac/dc and a ac only. Each of those comes with either 70 W output or 90 w output. I have the 70W ac/dc and it powers my ibook, my windoze laptop, my ipod, my mobile phone, and soon both my digital cameras. They are very clever, they just use a series of different tips ( which are plugs really) to adapt to different machines. Only catch is they are not cheap, but I bought mine in America a few years ago and it has powered over the last four year approximately 15 different devices, most of the extra tips are free from the distributor as well.

We use it constantly in our car too usually for camera, mobile or DS charging, depending on what we have forgotten to charge before we left! Its well worth investing in one I think, especially if you do alot of driving.

Re: Is Leopard that bad?
Good point Paul, 10.5 was a dog for wireless networking on older G4 iBooks (and g5's if I remember correctly) ,lots of problems including random drop outs there was a problem was fixed in 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 my very under spec G4 iBook runs like a bullet train network wise. Hugh -Original Message- From: WAMUG Mailing List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul K Sent: Friday, 29 February 2008 7:52 AM To: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Re: Is Leopard that bad? Hi Lloyd and others, I bought Leopard on the cheap to go with a new iMac, through the qualifying machine deal. By the time it arrived I already had the iMac all set up with Tiger as our main Mac so I decided to put it on our 1.42GHz G4 iBook 512MB RAM first. I cannot say much about software compatibility as the iBook doesn't run much 3rd party stuff. The new GUI is very nice but no revolution, just another steady step forward I guess. Networking on the other hand DOES feel like a revolution. Previously I considered wireless as a poor relation but under Leopard this iBook is one connected little piece of tasty kit!! Waking from sleep is much improved too, it can re-establish network connections in seconds. In keeping with a trend I have noticed over the years, upgrading Leopard has also made this iBook feel faster. Take THAT Vista!! 9/10 (Having trouble thinking of any negatives) Cheers Paul PS I want to clean install onto our iMac which means a very big backup, anybody seen good deals on dual layer media? eg ITML is 75GB. -- 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] -- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Re: Update 10.5.2
Just finished my ibook g4 ( 800 mhz) worked fine, permission verify took 30 mins, permission repair took 16 mins( only one difference) My imac g5, was very slow verify took 40 mins ( many many differences all in system/library/extensions) repair took 20 mins The ibook g4 is under spec ( 866 is min spec) but has no peripherals and seems to be fine. The G5 has two external firewire drives ( 800 GB and 600 Gb), four ipods ( usb) 1 ipod ( firewire) Epson printer, sony video camera, sony still camera ( one usb one firewire) and a usb webcam attached. In both cases I clicked cancel when software installer ( which is set to automatically tell me when the new updates are available) and I actually downloaded the full 350 MB version of the 10.5.2. With the G5 I unplugged all external devices and cancelled all programs ( things like skype and some music stuff which run in the background) and both machines ran through without a hitch. Haven't tried every single app on each machine, but what I have tried works fine Hugh -Original Message- From: WAMUG Mailing List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Daniels Sent: Monday, 18 February 2008 10:05 PM To: WAMUG Mailing List Subject: Re: Update 10.5.2 Thanks Richard I haven't tried it yet but I'm hanging on to your email.

The update of my wife's G4 Intel downloaded OK but the installation just hung with the blue line halfway for 4 hours. The machine locked up and had to be unplugged.

Fixing permissions is still an ?hour long process with 10.5.2, but it eventually finishes (unlike the minutes it takes in 10.4). 2. G4 Intel don't go together, but I hope you are applying the correct update for the type of computer that you have (the installer should tell you anyway). Check that you have plenty of free disk space (5 GB), then directly download the combo 10.5.2 updater (350 MB) from Apple (it will end up in the downloads folder). Then restart holding down the shift key, to do a safe boot. It takes a while to start up in safe boot mode because a file system check is run before loading the system user files. Safe boot also prevents potentially incompatible software loading at start up. Then locate the update and run the 10.5.2 installer - hopefully all will go well. My only observed problems were with software update not getting to do the update itself because on one machine, iPhoto had not been used since the last iphoto update, so the new version of iphoto (which alphabetically preceded the MacOSX 10.5.2 update in the update process) couldn't run due to a permissions error, hanging software update and thus prevented the 10.5.2 update from running. Running iPhoto, then rerunning software update fixed the issue.
