finder key command - bring all to front
Hi All, looking for a way to make the menu item Bring All to Front a key command, especially in the finder, but hopefully one that would apply to any currently active App. Searching Mac Help, Apple support Google turned up ZERO, which surprised me for such an much-used function! cheers Greg - OS X 10.2.6 G4 1 Ghz Quicksilver

Re: finder key command - bring all to front clarification
Also, if you control-click (or right-click or hold the mouse down for 2 seconds) on the Finder icon or an Application's icon in the Dock, a menu pops up allowing you to choose any of the currently open windows of that app (or the Finder). Ahah!! that's the answer i was looking for, cheers Martin... also thanks for the other tips Greg
Re: finder key command - bring all to front clarification
cheers Matt, i will look into this as i have installed the Pulltab 'haxie' to get rid of the command-tab shortcut altogether as it interferes with application shortcuts... changing to opt+tab would be preferable ta g On Friday, June 6, 2003, at 11:35 AM, Matt Huitson wrote: Hi Greg, In addition to the advice from Shay and Martin, might I also suggest you take a look at a shareware app called App Switcher (check versiontracker). I use it as part of my reassignment of the application-shifting key combo from Command-Tab to Opt-Tab. A neat extra feature of this app is that it has a preference you can select to Keep applications' windows in same layer (like MacOS9). If selected, this option will bring all windows of an application to the front upon switching ala pre OSX versions of the Mac operating system. If you can live with changing your application shifting key combo to either opt+tab or ctrl+tab (currently the only options available in version 0.9.8 of this app) then this might be one solution worth considering.

Re: cd v mp3
you can also get car stereos with front-panel audio inputs, so you can plug in directly. Also available are cassette adaptors which are basically a casstte-shaped object with a cable coming out that plugs into the ipod. The unit transfers the signal to the cassette players' playback head.

Re: RGB to CMYK
as is often the case in these type of discussions, some very very important processes have been left out: 1) calibrated monitor (preferably calibrated by the operator) 2) scanner operator who can, in their head, translate what the screen displays into what might be expected AFTER image setting, dot gain, paper coloration etc, and adjust the image accordingly I'm not a binuscan user, but I must say I do like the idea of software that can reconstruct lost data. Does it work on human brains, too? :-) greg Hello All, I understand that at the light source in all scanners, the scans are done in RGB. From that point on loss of data occurs, and every time the data is converted or reprocessed in Photoshop etc further data is lost. The better the quality scanner, the less data is lost. Its not just a case of resolution ,DPI, and Bit depth. Then comes colour enhancement/management/correction software, such as Binuscan, Ofoto, Color Cachet, Efi Color, Scan Match, Magic Match, etc, of which I believe Binuscan is the best as it reconstructs the lost data. Hope this helps the general understanding of colour scanning. best regards, Ted Burbidge. -Original Message- From: Ray Forma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 2 October 2001 4:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RGB to CMYK Greg Hosking [EMAIL PROTECTED] kindly corrected my claim that No scanner scans CMYK directly, as follows: for the record, this is not true, both our scanners here scan in cmyk mode. Also for the record, this does not necessarily guarantee good conversion, I'd say photoshop converts to CMYK better than our flatbed scanner converts from original to CMYK Greg What I should have originally said is I know of no flatbed scanner and associated software that scans CMYK directly.

The possibilities for what it might be are endless - and almost all of them have been rumoured at some time to be under development in Apple's labs. Gadgets that immediately spring to mind include a PDA, a Web pad or a set-top box. Perhaps Apple has bought the Kerbango Internet radio or the Audrey home information appliance off 3Com? Sources tell CNet that it's a digital music player, which would pitch Apple against the likes of Sony, Creative Technology and the very well established Rio. Short of offering QuickTime support and the company's famed industrial design, it's hard to see what Apple could do that these others haven't. Whatever Apple does come out with next week, it will almost certainly tie into the company's Mac OS X Digital Hub strategy. All the digital content device types Apple has promoted as ideal companions for OS X are well supplied by other companies and many of them Apple already sells through its online store. The fact that other companies can do these kinds of products better than Apple can is one of the main reasons why Apple stopped trying to do them itself.

Re: Ipod connections

Re: convert your own alert sounds
Paul there a shareware program called Agent Audio that will replace any sound in any program with any sound you can lay your hands on (make sure you read the blurb before you go hackin') greg (PS: do you study film?) Hi Muggers, Can anyone tell me how to convert a quicktime sound file into a mac alert sound. For years it has puzzled me. When you use the 'add' alert sound in the sound control panel it actually brings up an interface for recording one rather than adding one. Checking the Apple 'Help' file suggests converting to the correct Mac Alert Sound format using an appropriate converter. Suffice to say that Apple Help does not recommend the name of any likely program. I take it there is nothing on board OS 9 to do this job? Have looked at Version Tracker before and never come across anything that seemed appropriate. But, I usually get logged off before having a really good look around.

Re: Vinyl LPs to CD
Coaster is fine for what you want, Lloyd, you just need to click the little scissors button between songs. This divides the files into 'recording1', 'recording 2' etc or, you can use auto recording set it up to sense the space between tracks, a bit tricky with vinyl The only other thing to beware of is the auto gain control (AGC) - it's good for lectures stuff but very nasty for music, swich it off set the volume at your amplifier or whatever. Try to get as loud a signal as possible (meters approaching orange) without clipping (red). The 'Hold clipping indicator' is good for this, you can see if the recording was too loud because the red clip indicator has stayed on And leave the scratches in there, cleaning up is butchery!! greg I am in the process of copying my old LPs to my computer so that I can burn CDs. I have used two programs, Coaster, freeware and The Analogue Ripper shareware A$40, and have had some success although Coaster is difficult to set up so that I can separate the individual tracks. Does anyone use a good program for this, shareware or commercial? I would like to do some more experiment before I purchase The Analogue Ripper. Thanks Lloyd
strange filemapping - warning!
this morning I created a text file in BBedit containing all the upload details for a client's website.

Needless to say quicktime wouldn't open it, but either would BBEdit I tried this with different domains and different programs (simpletext, illustrator) with the same results.

Re: strange filemapping - warning!
thanks Warren Shay - I did try this, but removing the 'extension' from the filename or changing it does not solve the problem. File open, show all etc does not solve the problem. (the file shows up, but upon trying to open I get Mac OS error code -39, or a blank window) The only way I could access the text in the original file is to change the type creator with res edit.. I guess prevention is the best cure wacky... greg Welcome to the often stupid world of defining file types by name extensions. .au extension is used for some AUdio files (which quicktime will play). QT tries to take control of these and many other files. You should be able to get BBedit to open any file by selecting Show all types in the open file dialogue box. You could try adding .txt to the filename or use some file type adjusting utility to change the file type back to TEXT. woz On Wednesday, November 7, 2001, at 03:30 , Greg Hosking wrote: this morning I created a text file in BBedit containing all the upload details for a client's website.

I could even syncronise the two system folders perhaps... (not sure if the g4 will run on 8.6, but I would be willing to upgrade to 9.1 on the powerbook to make this work) TIA Greg
Re: File sharing and DOS formatted Zip disks

Re: File sharing and DOS formatted Zip disks

Re: Apple menu - sub-menus not appearing
of course, you have the Contextual Menu Extension in your extensions folder? g Hi, I've just had to clean install after a rather difficult crash (trying to sort out Netscape 6.1 problems). Luckily, I have a second System Folder on another disk, and was able to install 8.5 and the 8.6 update fairly quickly and then start to reconstruct all of my customised system files, having backup copies of all the things that mattered (I also still have the original system files, but am wary of using too much from there - after all, that is the system that won't boot). Everything seems to work just fine, except for the Apple menu. I simply can't get the sub-menus to appear. Should be easy - just use the Apple Menu Options control panel and turn them on. Unfortunately, nothing happens - the menu items still have no sub-menus and it is a 2-step procedure to get to many of the aliases I have carefully set up. Is there anything I might be overlooking? I have replaced the control panel from backup - no difference. The other settings in the control panel work (setting recent docs, recent servers, etc) but nothing I've tried has affected the sub-menus. System: PPC 5500/225 OS 8.6 Kaye

Re: Help on sorting hard disk contents display
click the little arrow on the far right, it reverses the order of whatever sort routine you have selected greg Hi all Ever since I got my 5500/250, running 8.1, the display of hard disk contents has been alphabetical, A few days ago, while transferring half a dozen files into a higher level folder by shift clicking, I held the button down too long and the folder opened up, as has happened before. I closed the folder, reopened the hard disk list and found it in reverse alphabetical order. It is no big deal but it is more convenient in the normal order. Selecting all the contents and EDITSORTBY NAME made no change. Repeating by DATE MODIFIED changed it to ascending date order, but returning to BY NAME put it back in reverse alphabetical. HELP was no help. Its index does not contain SORT! I can't find any assistance in the archives nor in the multitude of references from SORT HARD DISK in Google. Help will be much appreciated. So - apologies in advance if I am wasting anyone's time.

Re: Cardbus firewire for powerbook
Keith I think what Clay is interested in is a Cardbus firewire interface so that he may run a multichannel firewire audio interface, like MOTU 828, metric Halo MiO etc... thus he is not so much interested in the disks he can plug in, but in the actual card-bus firewire device itself. He needs to know how such a device compares to a desktop/PCI firewire bus, and thus what sort of performance he can expect from his audio interface. (scsi is not an alternative) (any extra info you can provide would , as always, be much appreciated by me, and probably clay, too...) greg There are a number of factors in determining a true/false response. Firstly, not all FireWire hardware is created equal! With FireWire HD cases there are 3 products - Granite Digital, LaCie and IceCube/FireCube whose products are faster than any of their competitors. There are numerous other brands about, many of which are using a similar Oxford 911 chipset, but are at best off the pace in terms of data throughput. The next variable is the device/drive you are going to use - 2.5 spinning at 4200RPM or 5400RPM, 3.5 at 5400RPM or 7200RPM, cache size, drive model, etc, etc. Their a number of companies making cardbus FireWire solutions and I'm sure there are winners and losers here as well. We have a $99 card but we've ordered these in for the ever-growing number of FireWire converts from the darker side. I think the bottom line is that with your machine you don't have a lot of alternatives and FireWire does offer a lot of advantages over SCSI anyway.

crash at shutdown
Hi all I have a powerbook G3 lombard (OS8.6, 320Mb) it's a reasonably well behaved machine, but if it's gonna crash, it's usually when I shut it down. I have tried some obvious things, like quitting all my apps disconnecting ARA before choosing shutdown (to no avail) (This usually happens at work, when I have a 21 monitor scsi hard disk connected, if that makes any difference) not life-threatening, but very annoying (especially if I'm late for the bus!) any ideas? greg
Re: crash at shutdown
(This usually happens at work, when I have a 21 monitor scsi hard disk connected, if that makes any difference) Does it happen if you don't have the SCSI drive connected? No, not that I can recall Hmm. Maybe I could un-mount it before I shut down. Why should a scsi disk cause a crash, though? It's terminated, and the only device on the 'chain' greg
getting dirty with Postscript Printer Descriptions
Hi All We have a new printer (Kyocera Mita FS-8000C) and it defaults to a screen setting which makes the print look like a bubblejet output.

Re: G4 second monitor
Keith, it may end up being cheaper to go with the apple monitor because you will need to buy a card (or adaptor) with the DVI output to run the phillips monitor, whilst the apple will run on the G4's inbuilt ADC equipped card. As you say, the old 17 CRT will run on 'any old' PCI card, which you can pick up cheap/second hand (I'm using a once Scott's done the dual monitor thing, you'll never look back. [I wish my dad would buy me a 17 LCD :-) ] greg My son Scott has a G4 400 DP with an onboard Rage Pro 128 driving an AppleVision 1710. He wants to add another monitor, this would become his main monitor and retain the 1710 as a monitor to hold palettes whilst running Photoshop, GoLive, etc. I'm looking at buying him a 17 Phillips LCD monitor because I can get this several hundred dollars cheaper than the Apple 17 LCD and getting a basic PCI video card to drive the old 1710 monitor.

Re: STOP - Zapping the PRAM and Rebuilding the Desktop - STOP
Quoting from a message that Greg Hosking contributed in August 2000 about (among other things) Zapping the PRAM: just for the record, I was quoting an article (or something), not my words as such... greg Resetting the PRAM should only be tried in cases where PRAM-resident settings are not sticking. These settings include startup disk, keyboard control panel settings (repeat rate, delay until repeat), sound level, memory control panel settings (RAM Disk, Virtual Memory, Disk Cache, 32-bit Addressing), mouse control panel settings (double-click speed, tracking speed), selected AppleTalk port, highlight color, default printer, Date Time Control Panel (Time Zone, Daylight Savings Time ONLY), General Controls (Folder Protection, Insert Blink, Menu Bar blink ONLY), plus undocumented features. Keep in mind that resetting the PRAM resets ALL of those settings to their defaults and causes the customer to have to reset any that he customized. The following control panels are not affected by zapping PRAM: Energy Saver, File Sharing, Text, Numbers, Speech, PPP, TCP/IP and many others. Resetting PRAM can affect ADB and serial port issues and little else. Finally from the same message from Greg: Rebuilding the Desktop: worked 0% of the time that it was tried. It was tried 54% of the time. Deleting Preferences: worked 3% of the time that it was tried. It was tried 38% of the time. Zapping the PRAM: worked 5% of the time that it was tried.

Re: G3 and G4 printing to Kyocera Network printer qn
Hi All! Just a quick question I have a client that has a BW G3 and a G4 400 with exactly the same software specs, connected via an ethernet hub to a Kyocera FS 7000P. The main application they are printing from is Quark 4, and PCs have no problems printing anything to this printer. Everytime the Macs print from Quark, a Postscript error appears. The G4 sometimes prints, then other times doesn't. They both worked when the printer was installed 18 months ago. The machines are running 9.1 Thanks in Advance Rod! Heya Rod first point - that was not a question! secondly, whilst I don't wanna blow the kyrocera trumpet, the experiences other have described so far don't compare to our experiences with our kyrocera 8000C (running macs quark 3 4). Compared to our previous printer (minolta CF 900 via Fiery RIP) it has been very hassle-free. It's true that the thing is a postscript faker, but for a printer worth 1/10 the price without a dedicated RIP it is faster, more reliable of better print quality consistancy than the minolta/fiery. The Kyrocera occasionally does strange things (like will not print unless you press the 'go' button) but generally is pretty hassle free. For the record there is a mix of OS 8, 8.6, 9.1 machines (no PCs) You say a postscript error appears... where? you get a message on the printer or the mac? which printer driver are you using? Greg

Re: Internet disconnections - re-visited
Neil you are after modem scripts which tell the modem to limit connection speed. search the net The wamug archives, there are scripts floasting around for this purpose: a script for each connection speed I have the scripts for my powerbook G3 (lombard), but I think you would need different scripts for your modem. for the record, limiting the speed *seemed* to make a bit of difference, but I'm not convinced it *solved* the problem: Sometimes I can stay connected all day, but still sometimes I get dis-connected after a few minutes. However, I am running at 48K, so maybe the occasional disconnections would be eliminated if I used a slower speed. For me, the amount of times I get disconnected now is hardly worth the hassle of further experimentation good luck Greg I posted on this subject back in February, recap: I have a problem that is erratic but seems to be increasing in frequency? When on the net or collecting email I keep getting disconnected. It's not a time-out thing as it often happens in the middle of an email download or during a net page download. I run OS 9.1 on a 400MHz Ti G4 Powerbook. Browser is IE 5.0. Mail app is Outlook Express 5.02. ISP is Telstra Bigpond - normal local-call dial-upto 019830. Typically I get the Apple message box saying that 'you have been disconnected' sometimes I get a network error message from Outlook Express (or occasionally I think from IE ). At other times everything runs fine for hours. Thanks for the many suggestions and comments, after trying many of these I have been able to rule out most of the potential culprits - progress to date: I have had the same problem at three widely different locations: - at home in Albany where maximum connection speed can 48000 but is often less generally 33k but once yesterday was 9600 - at a house in Claremont with a PC accessing net with no disconnections (connection speed here can be higher than in Albany but also varies) - at a bush location where max connection speed was generally 14k at each location drop-outs are very variable - sometimes get long trouble free connections at other times there can be drop-outs every few minutes. Because the problem spans different locations (and a PC at one location is not having the problems) I am assuming that the problems are not down to the Telstra lines I have tried using different cables from the computer to the wall socket (including the one from the trouble-free PC) to no effect, so I have ruled out a faulty cable. I do not have call waiting activated and I have disconnected all other phones/faxes - but the disconnections still occur. I have tried letting the applications (outlook /or explorer) initiate the connection and also used Remote Access to connect prior to firing up the applications - there did not seem to be any difference with either approach. Sometimes the problem occurs during connection - remote access reports connection at (speed varies) gets to 'starting PPP' and then hangs, finally giving the error message: 'The remote side is not responding correctly. Check the configuration of your control panels and try again' The one suggestion that I haven't tried (because I don't know how) is to limit the connection speed. I obviously don't fully understand this because I thought the fact that remote access shows the computer connecting at different speeds at different times meant that it could automatically detect the appropriate speed to connect at. On re-reading some of the comments/postings however I get the impression that once a connection speed is automatically chosen, the computer tries to maintain this speed and ifit can't then disconnections will happen - if so then it may be worth tryingto limit the max connection speed to see if this is the case. My question is how do I do this - the modem control panel allows me to select a modem [ I haven't changed this - currently apple internal 56k (v90)] but not that I can see to change the connection rate. I found a folder with modem scripts in it but double clicking a script gives a message that they can't be opened. Also once I find a way to do this (and assuming it works) how do I pick a speed that I can use at various places without slowing browsing to a crawl? Any feedback from someone who has encountered and beaten this problem would be greatly appreciated. TIA Neil
