   Hi All

   I am about to purchase a new MacBook Air.  I have had my current one
   since early 2017 and am finding it isn’t accepting updates of some
   programs.  I am having problems with ‘Photos’ in particular.

   Apart from the software it is in excellent condition.   Should I trade
   it in (I think Apple only offers about $140) or I think I’ve read
   someone on this list works their magic with old/unwanted computers and
   then passes them on to someone who can’t afford one?  True?   If this
   the case I would much prefer to go down this path. So if this is you
   could you reply?

I feel unclean to be even considering it, but I may have to instal  
Fusion and Windows on my MacPro (OS 10.5.4).

This machine spends quite a bit of time on the net.

I've had very little experience with the dark side, but I've read all  
the horror stories about virus problems on the internet.
The windows installation will be going onto its own partition. Can  
anybody tell me if the computer can get infected just by having  
windows on a partition, even if it's not running; or does it have to  
be active before it becomes a virus magnet?

I'm wary of again visiting Classic to delete  more
because of
further issues since this.

2.  Scattered desk icons on OSX start-up.  Re-sized
and re-  fonted.

3.  Can't print:  Error Printing box.

4.  No History being recorded.

5.  Can't put subject into this subject box because
Safari quits.


This is weird.  Is my iMac dying??

Thanks

Subject: Telstra wireless broadband + Mac

[choy]

I use the three wireless USB modem.

Works great, though the Australian instructions are crap and miss out  
a crucial step (need to add *99# as the phone number in internet  
connect). The indian call center wasn't rude or difficult to  
understand, just clueless. But that seems to be the general standard  
these days with the big boys. Telstra is worse.


Unless you plan to go rural/remote or you work for a company who are  
paying for the access I don't know why people bother with the Telstra  
or vodafone or optus plan. Have you seen the prices? Ridiculously  
expensive in broadband terms.


Vodafone : $99/1GB on min 12 month contract  10 cents /mb after
Optus: $69.95/500MB, month to month available, 30 cents/mb after
Telstra: $114.95/1GB, 12/24m plan, 30 cents/mb after (note I am using  
the 1.5gb/384mbps because 256k is a bit of a joke - this is maximum  
throughput and it doesn't get there very often)


Three: $29.95/1GB, 12 month contract, 1.5/384mbps, 10cents/mb after

Now I don't know about you but I don't think any other deal is value  
for money apart from three. What a difference! I guess coverage might  
be an issue for some, but I have used it in fremantle, perth, mt  
hawthorn, sydney without any major issues, rural locations aren't a  
big deal for me. Note the 1gb is a total allowance, upload and  
download. Sneaky!



They all use the same Huawei USB modem, so they are ALL compatible  
with Mac OS X, despite what each company may say. Note if you have a  
mac with USB 1.1 ports you will need to use 2 ports with the modem as  
a single 1.1 port can't provide enough power (learnt that by trial  
and error - not mentioned anywhere in the instructions!)

So where is it failing ?

Hi Bill

Westnet recently informed us of the changes they are about to make to
their BB accounts.
We aren't happy.

Sure they have great service, but that merely means to me they are
pleasant and genuinely helpful when I need it.
I don't need it that much.

To cut a long story short I've been scouring all the ADSL 2+ providers
around, as that now appears to be cheaper than ADSL.
I've chosen Amcom, formerly Amnet which was formerly Arachnet I believe.
Fingers crossed ;-)
I got lucky and found a modem on eBay for $50, although it hasn't shown
up yet...

Internode did look slightly better but they said they couldn't supply me
here in Beaconsfield coming through the Fremantle exchange whereas Amcom
said they can. Does that mean Internode have no equipment in my
exchange? Not sure.

I hope I no longer need the levels of service that Westnet supplies, I
just cant justify the cost difference now.
I'll miss them.

I choose to blame Telstra for these prices ;-)



Cheers and a Merry Christmas to all Wamuggers!

Paul

They send an acknowledgement almost immediately with a case number
but don't hold your breath for a real response .

If you try to phone expect to wait on forone halfto   an
hour to hear a real voice !


IF , that's IF ... your phone is connected at an Exchange that is 
Amnet enabled

  you can get a good price for a   8 / 1 meg  ADSL  ( $49 for 10 MB )

but IF you are on any other exchange expect to pay Amcom a lot more 
for the same
ADSL 8 /1 meg .  ( $85 ) ( That's me at Ballajura , so I am sticking 
with my 1500/256  ADSL )

 Fingers crossed ;-)
 I got lucky and found a modem on eBay for $50, although it hasn't 
 shown up yet...


 Internode did look slightly better but they said they couldn't 
 supply me here in Beaconsfield coming through the Fremantle 
 exchange whereas Amcom said they can. Does that mean Internode have 
 no equipment in my exchange? Not sure.


 I hope I no longer need the levels of service that Westnet 
 supplies, I just cant justify the cost difference now.

 I'll miss them.

 I choose to blame Telstra for these prices ;-)

 
 



Thanks all for helpful comment.

Turns out that I had NOT read Westnet's charge introduction for 
dial-up - I though it was still FOC along with the BB charges.



So here's the findings after a morning on the phone to Westnet, 
Telstra and Optus.


Anyone who is located in regional 1  qualifiies fro Free modem, 
free set-up and 50% off for first sixmonths.   That's the government 
rebate.


Westnet is offering dial up at $29.95 a month.

A home/lite (sic)/light  call it what you will low level BB 
connection is variously between $30 and $40 a month.


The Telstra sales pitch was VERY strong.   Are they worried about anything?


Choice was actually of no help at all strangely.

In contrast, I did the same switch from Telstra to Westnet a month or  
so back and had not one call from Telstra, though I expected an  
avalanche!

I wonder...

We recently switched our home phone from Telstra over to a bundled  
deal with Westnet.
In the following week we received no less than 5 phone calls from  
Telstra offering all kinds of wonderful deals (Both net and phone)  
for us to return.
On the 5th call, I actually paid a little attention and was offered  
8Mb/10Gb limit cable broadband setup with no connection fee/free  
modem along with a similarly enticing deal on the home phone


After an hour of discussion and numerous tape-recorded agreements,  
we were all set to go...


The phone switched over toTelstra about a week later, but after 2  
weeks still no word from them about the 'free professional cable  
installation' so I called them up


Long story short:

No Sir, there is no cable coverage in your area so we cancelled  
the installation...


In the end, a quick discussion (Get a reference number) with the  
Ombudsman was required to get Telstra NOT to charge for the phone  
calls made during the period of time we were connected...


And, if this needed a punchline, the day after we connected back  
with Westnet we got a phone call:


Hello Mr. Woods, This is Telstra. We see you recently switched  
your phone over to another carrier. Let me tell you about the great  
cable broadband/phone bundle with have for you!

Steady there :

decide it is financially viable to catch up !

Witness the Price Fixing by the ACC : and although they are pushing

 downwards the opposition still only wants to compete   selectively .

For the moment, If you want true compatibility with Apple's software you are

better off going with HDV cameras which record 1080i video to the same
miniDV tapes that older cameras use.

Again, though, make sure you read up on HDV before you decide to 
purchase. This is a completely new format which requires a fast 
computer to work with, and must be 'conformed' at the end of editing 
which can take hours. Also, there are complaints about motion 
artifacts during any fast movement.


Some people love it though. Just a good idea to understand it before 
you buy it. And understand what changes you will need to make to your 
workflow to work with it.

Hi,
 I am one very confused wamugger :-( . Long ago when I bought my G4  
from Dan I also bought VPC. I never did seem to get it working and as  
I was really chicken about my lovely G4 being loose on the net  
disguised as a PC. I decided I did no really want a PC anyway :-)   
Recently I acquired a Multimeter with a PC interface which turned my  
PC into a data logger so I decided I would get VPC going.  I decided  
I would re-install and then get rid of the non working VPC. I got the  
new VPC working and then needed to get rid of the old 'VPC' I found  
that despite using un-install I still had 2 copies of VPC. A-Ha i  
said I will get rid of all traces of VPC even to the extent of  
running un install until it said there is no VPC to un- install. I  
cleared the bin and reinstalled   I have now GOT THREE COPIES of  
VPC.  :-(   Called Windows XP professional  Windows XP professional

Hug,

I used to have a 740 but gave it away after similar hassles and blocked
jets.

The trick to getting it going again was to print something in OS9 Classic.
Go ito chooser, select the 740, close chooser, print a single page of
something - may need to create a brief document in simpletext.

 Somehow the connection to the printer was then locked in, and Gimp print
would find it in OSX and printing would return. I'd have to do this after
the printer had been turned off, or maybe even if the computer was
restarted. 

Life is much easier now with a $79 Lexmark..

Hi All

I have an IMac running OS 9.2.2.   I know very little about OS X but 
will have to learn.


A friend of mine has an iMac successfully running  OS X  with 
AppleWorks 6 and an Epson C63 printer..


A couple of days ago, we, as far as I know, successfully installed MS 
Office 97/98 in his machine but my friend can not print any thing he 
produces with it, because while his printer shows in the Chooser for 
AW6 it has disappeared from the Chooser for MS Office.


Have thought of re-installing the printer driver but I doubt this is necessary.

The solution is I am sure a very simple one but it eludes me.

Thank you for any advice.

Hi Mac,

This problem can be caused by your Westnet mailbox locking itself and
not allowing your Email program to retrieve your messages for a certain
period of time. This mailbox locking is a security feature of your
mailbox designed to prevent multiple people from accessing your mailbox
simultaneously. Unfortunately, the mailbox can also lock itself when
your Email program has difficulty retrieving an Email and then
subsequently tries again.

Your Email program doesn't recognise that the mailbox did lock itself,
and therefore believes that the password is incorrect.

If this problem occurs on a regular basis, it would be adviseable to
contact Technical Support on 1300 786 068 for us to determine what could
be causing the problem for you.

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to call our
Helpdesk on 1300 786 068 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Completely right on the drivers Daniel. I had assumed they were being 
installed correctly and the system was overwritting them due to newer 
drivers in the system or incompatibility with the old drivers.


Anyway Through the printers menu there is a +/- button the + brings 
up the add more printers box which can be used to find more printers 
to install.


So the printing problem is now over.

Only audio and bluetooth adaptor to go :)

WEZ!



Another thing I've found with 10.4 is that if you've done a standard install
with Epson and Gimp drivers it sometimes chooses the Gimp Drivers over the
normal Epson drivers, so you loose all the features.
I did a couple of machines where they lost borderless printing. On closer
inspection of the Printer window in System Prefences it showed it was using
Epson printername-Gimp 1.1. What I actually had to do was go into the
more Printers and add the Epson printer in that way.
I didn't notice it first off as the Printer window was too small, so all I
could see what the Epson blahblah- part. (I could see the dash, which gave
it away once I realised that.)

So this might not be the answer, but worth a look. Expand the window out and
see what Epson driver it's using. :o)
If it says Gimp, then you'll find you're losing some of the features.

Hope that helps!

Kind Regards
Daniel

The CEO at my favourite charity is having a serious problem with  
applications quitting unexpectedly. Having spent a couple of hours

minute intervals and physically clicking the Save button, Word just  
quit and the document vanished off the server, where it was saved to

it, there is definitely no trace of it anywhere.  He tells me that,  
except for the disappearing document, the same thing happens with  
Safari and FileMaker (not convinced about that one.)


I expect that the stock answer is to not use Word, but has anyone out

With Tiger up and running I have a few observations to make.  I found  
this one of the easiest system transitions I can remember, in large  
measure due to my prestudy of the two eBooks Take Control of  
Upgrading to Tiger and Take Control of Customizing Tiger from  
www.takecontrolbooks.com which give excellent rundowns of what will  
happen and good discussion of the options plus some good warnings -  
highly recommended for anyone still hesitating to take the plunge.
I opted for an Erase and Install with a copy back of my  
applications and settings and whatever from a mirror partition of my  
boot drive on an external Firewire drive.  I had problems making the  
bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner which annoyingly hung twice  
about an hour into the copy.  A switch to SuperDuper solved that  
problem.
The whole installation process, including the copy back of all the  
backed up stuff, done within the installer, took only 70 mins and I  
was immediately checking my mail - fantastic!   A couple of items had  
disappeared from the dock and I had to reinstall my Epson scanner  
software and Optical mouse software but otherwise everything just  
worked.
A fringe benefit of the Erase and Install was that I seem to have  
recovered 2GB of disk space, the last initialise having been about 3  
years ago.
Tiger, overall seems a little faster and snappier than Panther (this  
all on an aging G4/400) and the new features, many of which I still  
have to explore are great - the searching is just brilliant and on  
the dashboard the weather widget even knows about Albany, WA.  My  
only criticism of Mail is that it is not quite as clever as doing a  
Save as Draft automatically when you go off in the middle of a letter.
Finally, my thanks, as a regional member of WAMUG, to all those who  
made the effort to put the meeting up as a streaming video, after all  
these years it was great to attend my first meeting and view it  
with QT7Pro!  Now I have some faces to go with some well known  
names.  My only criticism was that the sound level was a bit low and  
not always easy to follow.

I am a happy Tiger chappie!

Just a couple of things that you have not mentioned but you
probably have done. First make sure you have Windows Sharing
active in the Sharing preferences and the other one is to reboot
the PC after you have done any configurational changes on that
machine.

Dave Watkins

Hi Dave

Windows Sharing is enabled and the PCs have both been rebooted(its
what they do;).

One thing though, below where Windows Sharing is enabled the message
reads:

'Windows users can access your computer at \\localhost\administrator'

This will *not* work of course.
My memory isn't great but I thought the info should be a little more
specific than just using the name localhost. I thought it should
state the IP address there.

The message for Personal File Sharing goes a little further:

Other Macintosh users can access your computer at afp://localhost/
or browse for G3 by choosing Network from the Go menu in the
Finder.

'G3' is right but should it be using the term 'localhost' there also,
it's the only clue I have even though I cant get it to change using
the 'Computer Name:' field above.


Thanks

Hold down command-option-shift and then launch iPhoto. It will ask if you
want to rebuild your library. Say yes.and then wait. This should rebuild
your iPhoto Library and return things to normal.

Subject: Is that right - SuperDrive no good for re-writable DVD ?! :-(

[Matt Falvey]

This is from the Macintosh iLife by Jim Heid:

Apple doesn't publicise it, but the SuperDrive can read from - and 
write to - rewritable DVD media, called DVD-RW


...but you have to trick  iDVD, Here's how.

double click the Burn button as you normally would and insert a DVD-R 
blank when iDVD tells you.  Next when you see iDVD's Preparing status 
message, press your keyboard's Eject key and replace the DVD-R with an 
erased DVD-RW.  (To erase a DVD-RW use Macs OS X's Disk Utility 
Program.)  iDVD will never know the difference.

Hi all,

Thanks Mart - I was waiting for a lead to join into the conversation.

I think service is the one thing that sets businesses apart, and more than
that its attitude.  If the right attitude is displayed then service follows
along with the return business.

The real measure is not just how well a business can sell a product at a
good price and delivery but its efforts in resolving any problems - as we
all know its not a matter of if they arise, but when.

Subject: Mouses vs trackballs

[Vladimir James]

Another angle on the mouse discussion.

All mouses have one thing in common. They require frequent use of the
muscles that lift the arm (deltoid, trapezius, etc). Anyone experiencing
regular stiffness or aches in the shoulder or neck would be well advised
to consider using a trackball. It does not require as much use of the
muscles mentioned, as the palm of the hand, and thus, the arm may remain
at rest while the fingers do the work.

Hey all,

I did decades of graphics work etc with a mouse and began to develop 
repetitive strain injury. I purchased a trackball back in the closing 
days of Cannington AppleCentre and after persisting for about a week, 
my strain injury disappeared. I LOVE my Logitech Trackman (and my 
Wacom Tablet of course). I am now much more accurate and speedy with 
the trackball than I ever was with the mouse.  I highly recommend 
them.and remember..they may take a little while to get used to.

Hi Richard

I am actually one week outside of the serial range 
(UV319). Thankfully it is still under warranty and a new 
board is on the way.


When I was a tech, we had a number of iBooks do the same 
thing. Glad to see that we weren't the only store with 
that video problem! It used to send me nuts - one iBook 
went through 3 logic boards, then Apple gave the new a new 
iBook instead.


Interesting the reason for the failure though. You would 
wonder why a major component on the motherboard would be 
placed underneath a 'giant heater'. No wonder my iBook was 
getting hot all the time!

As I understand it the video chip is under the left palm

corner of the iBook eventually cause the chip to detach 
from the board, causing the video to die. This is what the 
discussions on Apple's www site seem to be saying anyway.


Although I fell in the correct serial number range, I got 
my logic board replaced under my AppleCare extended

experience I'm never going without AppleCare with any

PDF files produced by OSX are enormous if they contain any graphics.
To reduce them to a sensible size get PDFCompress from Version
Tracker, it works so easily via Print Center. Alternatively, if you
have the full version of Acrobat, write the files as Postscript then
convert them to PDF with Distiller setting the appropriate parameters.
Of course you may also have a problem with file size limit set by
your ISP, whatever that may be.
