[Jonathan Fletcher]

We now have 35 on the new group not counting a handful of people that still 
need to follow the instructions on the invitation to complete their membership.

If you need me to resend your invitation let me know. If you haven’t requested 
an invitation and you don’t want to lose touch with the group, please drop me a 
note.

Thanks!

[MacGroup] Invitations

[Jonathan Fletcher]

We’re good to go. Our new home is macgr...@groups.io, but it is by invitation 
only.

I have to enter your addresses into Groups.io to send you all invitations. I 
know some of you have already expressed your interest, but for the sake of 
orderliness, please send me an email directly to the following address.

i...@fletcherdata.com

I will only use it to try and sell you really expensive FileMaker solutions. 
(Oops! Wrong list.)

::-)

No, I will NOT use your addresses for anything else. 


Thanks!

Jonathan

P.S. Also, think about who else we want to be an administrator. All volunteers, 
nominations, ritual human sacrifices considered.

Re: [MacGroup] New Mailing List

[Jonathan Fletcher]

All,

I’m warming to the idea of a hosted solution, rather than something in my 
closet. While I am open to that, there are issues with spam filtering that 
likes to block people from certain addresses. Running your own server gets to 
be a headache of spam swatting and getting filterers to un-blacklist you.

I looked at groups.io and gaggle.com. They seem to make it easy. That way a 
couple of us could have the keys to the kingdom and in the unfortunate event 
one of us stepped in front of a speeding taco truck (inadvertently or not) the 
other would still be able to support the group.

Groups.io is free, so let's try that. I’ll post a link as soon as it’s set up.

Jonathan

[MacGroup] Re.: New Mac Group list

[Jonathan Fletcher]

I also don’t do FaceBook; I LIKE the focused bandwidth of a listserv. I do NOT 
like the massive time-sink that is characteristic of the popular social media 
sites.

I asked Lee if he wanted to work with me to get it up and running elsewhere and 
he told me that Bill Rising volunteered to take it over. I reached out to Bill 
to offer support and he hasn’t gotten back to me.

I have plenty of bandwidth, and hardware to put it on.

Alternatively, I ran across a pretty cool listserv alternative called Gaggle 
that might fit our needs. It’s only $5 a month for up to 50 members (free for 
up to 20). I don’t know how many people we have, so I have no idea where we 
would fall on that spectrum. 

Do we have a consensus building in any particular direction or should someone 
just declare it and the rest can decide whether they want to join or not?

What does everyone thinK?

Is Bill on here? Do you have a plan yet?

We should probably decide sooner rather than later.

Jonathan

[Jonathan Fletcher]

For those of you who follow the financial performance of everyone’s favorite 
personal device maker: 

1. Their stock price just closed above $300 a share for the first time 

2. They are currently the #1 by market capitalization of any American company. 
They are over $110 BILLION ahead of 2nd place Microsoft.

3. Stuart Varney of Fox Business reports that veteran AAPL watcher Gene Munster 
thinks that the company will be worth $2 trillion within the next several 
years. https://apple.news/AlyPZgpoyQDqFyul0ixrNPw

Re: [MacGroup] SimplyMac

My wife runs a store a few blocks away from the burnt-out SimplyMac and she has 
had several people come in and ask where it went. Until I read your comment, 
Richard, I was under the impression that it would not be reopened.

Thanks for the heads up, Richard!

Still not sure why I didn’t get an email about it!

BTW, the old manager of MacAuthority, Jeff Jewell, owns TechRestore. Their 
store is on Taylorsville Road in Hikes Point, in the strip mall behind Golden 
Corral. Go by and say hi!

I would start out with what you have and see how it goes. It would be pretty 
easy to add a signal booster, so you can add that at any time if you find that 
you need it.

Lots of info if you Google: "record TV signal to a Mac”

Re: [MacGroup] MacGroup Digest, Vol 124, Issue 4

[Jonathan Fletcher]

I’ve heard it both ways. I have been told they’re weighing reopening, and I 
have also heard it that they will likely not reopen. 

I don’t have any way to tell for sure, but I’m leaning toward the NOT option 
because of the credibility of the person who told me.

I agree about TechRestore. Good people. Great service. They can handle just 
about any repair you might need.

The battery is a major portion of the cost of a UPS, so you can get another UPS

Re: [MacGroup] Email account

[Jonathan Fletcher]

I use a free outlook.com 
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__outlook.com_=DwIFaQ=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs=lypf5x43WlnPXvxe7SJlwBjz1e_o2480kgBjS5jnRzc=vKZQ-az_731rUNOiXqTWnQj29Rx3_lqJ7YQTJq0c69I=>
 address for my junk stuff. It is basically a rebranded hotmail service. But 
they were free and I got to use one of my favorite noms de plume. Anything I 
receive on that account is pretty much guaranteed to be spam.

One of the advantages of owning your own domain is that you can then create and 
delete addresses for specific purposes. If an address gets too much spam, 
simply shut it off, and turn on another one. I actively use three for various 
things, and have had up to six in use at one time.

What I find hilarious is the mail I get on my dotMac account. I get really 
serious stuff from companies around the world on the icloud.com and me.com 
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__me.com_=DwIFaQ=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs=lypf5x43WlnPXvxe7SJlwBjz1e_o2480kgBjS5jnRzc=wv1TzeO_ae8ovAd1kziLc-ukFxgRwfG16ugnCpYgqhE=>
 variants of my mac.com address. [Apple treats them all as one account.] One 
car dealer in Maryland kept trying to get me to come in for the rustproofing I 
had purchased with my new car. The one that I kinda wanted to take advantage of 
was a BNB reservation in New Zealand. (And many others) I just send them a note 
back and politely suggest they counsel their client about increasing their 
communication success by using their own address.

I have a gmail account simply to take advantages of some google services, but I 
never give it out to anyone.

I never give out my att.net

Re: [MacGroup] "5G"

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Reading further, it appears that Qualcomm holds the lion's share of key patents 
in the technology and makes the most chips supporting mobile technology. That's 
why the current administration blocked the sale of it to Singapore-based 
Broadcom, on quite legitimate fears that that would give China the upper hand 
in the new technology, through their companies Huawei and ZTE. 

It is likely that the path to 5G will be littered with the rapidly decomposing 
bodies of early adopters and Apple is just waiting for a safer time to declare 
their intentions. 

I’m all for letting them wait for just the right amount of fermentation:

Re: [MacGroup] Phone dies at 50 percent

[Jonathan Fletcher]

I don’t think that has been announced. If you are going to replace the battery 
again, I might recommend a few other options:

1. If you are doing it yourself, you can get higher capacity batteries cheaper 
on Amazon than at BatteriesPlus.

2. If you are having someone else do it I would go the TechRestore in Hike’s 
Point. They are very good with phone repairs.

Re: [MacGroup] App wish list

[Jonathan Fletcher]

You: "Jonathan, what movie is playing right now?”

Me: “The movie playing right now is “Solaris," a 2002 remake of a 1972 film, 
which was itself an adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s 1961 novel of the same name.”

(You can’t be referring to 2013’s “Gravity," because in that case you would 
have mentioned Sandra Bullock in the same breath as George Clooney.)

P.S. Good movie, BTW, although some might find it opaque.

Re: [MacGroup] Printing proofs

I second Eric’s points. One additional one: if you get the option to embed or 
not embed the fonts. Always choose to embed them. Just in case. 

This kind of file creation is very easy in InDesign. There may be other tools 
that offer similar control, but I have no experience with them.

The only thing I can think of, Harry, is that you might have updated your

Re: [MacGroup] Microsoft Tech Support Scams

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Hilarious, Bill!

BTW, everyone, my daughter showed me an app that she uses called “RoboKiller” 
that will block all sorts of robo-calls on her mobile.

An absolutely side-splitting feature is the ability to choose from a variety of 
recordings that will keep the caller on the line and unable to con someone else 
for several minutes. It has a bunch of pre-recorded scenarios designed to 
string the callers along. She (my daughter) says that the number of robo-calls 
that actually get to her attention have dropped to near zero. 

She is a paramedic and uses her phone a lot in her work, so having to stop 
working and answer a nuisance call is a real hazard. 

She also says going back and listening to the ones that get recorded is quite 
the latest in comedy entertainment.

Re: [MacGroup] What do you think?

[Jonathan Fletcher]

I’m with Harry. Not interested. Hasn’t anyone seen "Fate of the Furious?"

I was at cybersecurity conference a few months ago where the Cybersecurity 
Advisor for our region from the Department of Homeland Security was talking 
about the plethora of threats to a variety of technologies. He hadn’t mentioned 
cars yet, so I raised my hand and asked if the growth of driverless cars was 
keeping anyone up at night yet, and he said, “Oh, yeah!”

More and more TV programs include a plot point about someone hacking into a 
victim's car to wreak havoc, either to kill them or to kill someone else. (I’m 
not even talking about “I, Robot,” although that’s a good one.)

Name ONE segment of our society that uses any technology that hasn’t been 
hacked yet. Very highly paid IT people in these companies can’t protect their 
employers from devastation to their bottom line and their reputation. 

And now we want to automate CARS! 

I’m out.

Re: [MacGroup] creating a cd

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Harry, most CD players played MUSIC CDs, NOT data CDs with a handful of music 
files on them. It is a different format. Some CD players would play MP3 CDs, 
but they were not the norm. I can’t imagine a CD player know at all what an 
AIFF was.

Some CD players also would not even play music CDs that your burned yourself, 
only manufactured CDs. If they would play them, they need to be CD-R and not 
CD-RWs as well. Only computers could understand a CD-RW, AFAIK.

Use a CD-R and Lee’s approach: Let iTunes make it for you.

Re: [MacGroup] What do you think?

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Literally MILES away. Once it was out in the country, and there was no excuse 
because the streets and houses were old.

The other was within Louisville, It took me to Broadway when I should have been 
out on Fegenbush. Granted the place that we were looking for USED to be on 
Broadway, but it had been at least a year since they had moved out. That’s just 
slow to change, but the other one had no excuse--It was pretty much in the next 
town over from where I needed to be and nothing had changed, probably in 
decades. 

Maybe Apple's purchase of a mapping company might help it improve.

The SECOND time I ended up on the opposite side of town from where I needed to 
be (while running late anyway) I took Apple Maps off my iPhone. Granted, Google 
Maps isn’t so convenient in all the places on iOS that allow you to “Look up in 
Maps,” but at least it knows how to get me where I need to be. (It’s probably 
time to see if Apple Maps has improved their data any.)

[Jonathan Fletcher]

That’s a great question, Sandy! 

I wish I had an answer equal to it.

Unfortunately, there really is nothing to fully replace them. My needs are not 
as elaborate as they once were, since I am not a graphic arts professional any 
more. 

I use Pages to create what documents I need, but its page layout abilities 
leave much to be desired.

I also like Pixelmater as a nice basic graphics app.

To be clear, these in no way are that great for professionals who need 
full-featured apps, but they get me by as my CS 3 apps (that I inherited from 
an ex-employer that went out of business) fail to work at all on anything past 
El Capitan.

Sorry to get your hopes up.

Re: [MacGroup] Download and alarms

I have been using PDF Expert lately and really like it. I was using PDFPen 
before, but it was kind of clunky. PDF Expert has been rock solid for me. I 
probably depends on what specific features you use, though.

Flash is a technology whose time has come and gone. Ain’t no reason for it 
other than, um, momentum on the part of web developers. 

I still use and like InDesign and Photoshop on occasion (albeit older versions 
on an older computer), but they are gradually being replaced by other newer 
(and cheaper) tools on my main computers.

John,

You story intrigued the member of my family that spends 45++ hours a week 
slinging ice cream at a Graeter’s here in Louisville that has a 
non-PCI-compliant cash register that won’t even take chip cards and has no way 
to allow a customer to enter a PIN. 

I’m going to guess New Albany, which is a much more recent store than hers, and 
near where you live.

Good for them.

Totally right. He is the proverbial “bean-counter.” His constituency has become

[MacGroup] The Wagon Still Rolls

[Jonathan Fletcher]

People who don’t own their infrastructure get screwed by those that do. You 
won’t get much speed out of IgLou and Win.net and other local providers because 
AT, whose wires they have to use won’t allow them their best stuff.

If you do not have AT Gigawhatsis or Google Fiber in your area then I would 
recommend Spectrum for their decent speed.

If you have access to fiber it is relatively inexpensive to get an awesome 
connection, the likes of which you have never had before.

Spectrum will still be a good second choice even then, but then in lieu of 
fiber options in your neighborhood they are all I would go with.

Ah, and therein lies the problem with being a grammar nazi, Peter. While, 
initially, it may seem like fun and makes you feel good about yourself, what it 
really does it paint a big red target on your back. (Speaking from experience, 
of course.)

hoist
verb [ with obj. ] 
raise (something) by means of ropes and pulleys: high overhead great cranes 
hoisted girders.
• raise or haul up: she hoisted her backpack onto her shoulder.


Perhaps you were thinking of “foist?”

foist
verb [ with obj. ] (foist someone/something on) 
impose an unwelcome or unnecessary person or thing on: don't let anyone foist 
inferior goods on you.
• (foist someone/something into) introduce someone or something surreptitiously 
or unwarrantably into: he attempted to foist a new delegate into the conference.

So Phish-y I can smell it through the internet, Harry.

Here’s your clues: 
Microsoft never calls anyone with such messages.
The message doesn’t give any clue that they know who you are or any information 
about your computer. 
This is just like any of the ploys they will use to take over your computer. 
Have you ever gotten a call from someone claiming to be from “The Windows 
Company?” This message was probably from the same guy, or his brother, or his 
uncle, or his cousin. 

Toss that Phish out; it’s rotten.

Well, isn’t it obvious, Russ? This was the time you finally went ahead and 
sprinkled the chicken blood on it. 

So many people forget that the tech gods are very needy and won’t give up 
easily without some kind of tribute. All the tech gurus know this, even though 
they won’t admit it.

[The so-called “ad” that FileMaker has put out has not generated the universal 
acclaim amongst the FileMaker developer community that FMI was perhaps

Evangelion, the Greek word at the root of Evangelism has most closely become 
associated with spreading the Christian message, but in the original Greek, it 
simply meant “good news.” 

So evangelism is literally the promotion of “good news.” 

I think it is an apt word for what you do, John. 

Guy Kawasaki would be proud!

Re: [MacGroup] MacGroup Digest, Vol 105, Issue 57

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Use the Photos app, Harry. Open Photos and any photos on a connected device 
(iDevice, Camera, or thumb or other drive) will show up and be available for 
import. Click the button at the top to import and they are now available 
throughout the devices connected to your iCloud account. 

Which brings up a good point: photos taken on my iPhone just show up on my iPad 
and various Macs because they are all set up with the iCloud account. The only 
photos I have to manually transfer are from my point-and-shoot and any photos 
that people give me on a thumb drive.

Is that not an option for you, Harry?

The 2015s used the “MagSafe 2” version of the adapter and you will need to use 
an adapter to use the earlier MagSafe power cable if that’s what you end up 
with. I thought I had an extra one, but it’s the 60W for the 13" models and not 
the 80W required for the 15". Sorry.

I love the heck out of 1Password. A couple of computers and three iOS devices. 
Works great and you can keep all manner of secure stuff in it, not just 
passwords. It works with Safari and can save your website logins easily. Also 
works like a charm with fingerprint ID on iOS.

Re: [MacGroup] Good Screen, Bad Touch ID

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Yeah, fixing iPhones is tricky. I have repaired a few, and I did replace one 5s 
screen with a fingerprint scanner and got it to work ok, but I could never get 
its proximity sensor to work again. Oh well. 

I even replaced a whole case on a 5 one time. I thought it would be cool to 
give one of my daughters a pink iPhone model that Apple never made in pink. 
(It’s amazing what kind of oddball stuff you can find on eBay!) Never again. 
That was a LOT of work taking everything out of the old case and putting it in 
the new one. They never wanted it so I ended up selling it for about what all 
the parts cost me. 

But I did it. Pre-touch-sensor, though, so I didn’t have THAT to contend with 
on that one.

I may not be the best iPhone repairman around, but I AM game! Been obsessively 
taking stuff apart for half a century. I see no end to it. I have a sad story 
about a Nikon F that is, even after 4 decades, still too painful to talk about.

And now there’s iFixit.com that just feeds my insanity.

PLEASE everyone, don’t make the bad life choices I have. Just take your stuff 
to TechRestore!

Touch ID requires the original button or it will never work again. The button

Some new screens come with the button, some don’t, is why I ask.

Richard, are you updated to the latest iOS? When I replaced the battery in one

I saw that, John, just AFTER I ordered two more replacement batteries for my

The bright side is that I can decide when I want to do it and not have to wait 
for the Genius Bar.

And it costs about the same.

The downside is that my in-house phone repair person is old and creaky, has 
shaky hands, and his work is not guaranteed.

Yes, I get that the Apple TV is not likely to be made into a server. What I was

So, the VLC or Plex client apps on the Apple TV should work well with the rPi

Good old Geekbench. As it does on the desktop version, the version for iOS runs 
a series of tests and then tells you what your real world speed is compared to

[MacGroup] iPhone 6s Battery woes

[Jonathan Fletcher]

You may have heard that there is significant gnashing of teeth (i.e, lawsuits) 
over Apple’s decision to throttle back processor speed on iPhone 6’s that have 
batteries nearing the end of their lives.

In their divine wisdom Apple just decided to do it without telling anyone. 
Phones went from shutting off unexpectedly to lasting a bit longer, but with 
the side-effect of running a lot slower.

After reading about it, I realized that I had recently begun to be frustrated 
with my phone (iPhone 6s) on both counts: battery life and speed. Testing my 
processor with a downloadable utility, I saw that the processor was indeed 
running about half of what it should have been.

So I replaced the battery. This can be done at any iPhone repair place or the 
intrepid/brave/stupid can attempt it themselves. Being the latter, I bought a 
nice little kit off of Amazon for $25 and did the job myself in about 30 
minutes.

It just so happens that my efforts were rewarded with what feels like a brand 
new phone! The test utility now shows that the phone runs right at its expected 
speed. And I don’t have to charge it three times to get it to last through the 
day!

For anyone experiencing speed/longevity issues with an older phone, it’s 
totally worth the effort.

This battery is inexpensive, has higher than normal capacity and comes in a 
really nice metal box with all the tools you’ll need:

Re: [MacGroup] Putting in a good word

[Jonathan Fletcher]

John,

I agree with Bill that the 2012 is a good bang-for-the-buck. It has a pretty 
speedy quad core processor, can take full advantage of the fastest SATA SSDs in 
both drive bays (if you want to replace the optical drive), and was the first 
Apple notebook to have USB 3, which will make inexpensive external drives and 
thumbs a lot faster.

They are a lot heavier and bulkier than more recent models, though, so decide 
accordingly. 

If you can’t find what you need on Apple’s refurb site [1], check with 
TechRestore, MacAuthority, eBay, and Craigslist, in that order.

Jonathan

Re: [MacGroup] Mac Mini hard drive replacement

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Bill, I have not done any 2014s, but I have done a boatload of 2010-2012s. 

Some basic tips:

. Make sure you have all the tools you will need. Order a kit from iFixit if 
you don’t have it all.
. Give yourself plenty of room on a flat level surface that has something on it 
to keep stuff from rolling. I used a (very) large mouse-pad-like surface. A 
table cloth or newspaper also works.
. As you pull screws and stuff from the box lay them out in a line in the order 
you removed them, so you can reverse the process easily,
. Watch the videos and look at iFixit’s high-res photos to be sure of what you 
are doing. 
. Make sure you know which way the connecters are to be removed. Some are 
straight up and others pull sideways. Know which way before you start.
. Take deep breaths and relax. The 2014 may have slightly more screws and 
steps, but otherwise it is pretty much exactly like the earlier unibody ones. 

Yes, a coat hanger will work, but if you order your drive from MacSales, they 
will include a kit, unless you tell them not to.

Re: [MacGroup] Why Is This Happening?

[Jonathan Fletcher]

John, my AT fiber costs me $80 a month, which is pretty close to what Google 
Fiber is charging in neighborhoods a half mile from me ($70, I think).  

The difference is that you will put it in your office. They may even have to 
run a special line for you, since it is probably not rolled out all over that 
area. 

Mine is just one line in a whole part of town that they wired. And since this 
is a residence, I get the consumer rate.

They treat businesses very different. I wonder if Google Fiber will 
discriminate between consumers and businesses as well. I haven’t heard.

[Interesting: I saw them running Google Fiber in the neighborhood around where 
my daughter goes to high school (Atherton). They were totally avoiding the 
issue with the telephone poles by actually micro-trenching it right into the 
asphalt of the street. I never heard of that before. A few weeks later they had 
people on the street corners in that neighborhood passing out Google brochures. 
Supposedly they are going to build out from the three neighborhoods they have 
started in, so perhaps I’ll have dual gigabit connections sometime in the next 
year. #FirstWorldProblems. ::-) ]

Re: [MacGroup] Speed test

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Dan,

That’s AT’s new Giga-whatever (-Fiber, -Power, 
-Whatevertheyarecalllingitthisweek) service. 

I saw AT construction crews running stuff in my neighborhood and stopped to 
talk to the guys about it and they admitted it was fiber. When I heard it was 
available I was the second person in my neighborhood to be hooked up (I’d like 
to meet the first!).

It's fiber from the pole to a box on the side of the house, and then a fiber 
that runs under the house (crawlspace) and comes up in my closet to a box in my 
network distribution panel. It’s ethernet from there to the Uverse modem which 
connects to my router, then to a switch and back out the distribution panel. 
“Gigabit" connections all the way from the central office to my computer. Yup!

Jonathan

P.S. They say that they can’t do anything about my download speeds, but that it 
falls within their “guidelines.” But it’s more than twice as fast as my Insight 
was, so I’ll take it. Having an upload that is more than 40 times Insight, 
though, is just insane. It means that people can access FileMaker apps from my 
server (during development and testing) at speeds only limited by their 
download capability, which is usually plenty good enough.

Hmm, a little slow on the download tonight…

[Ok, yeah, I'm bragging. Just a little.]

My next door neighbor installs for Spectrum and he has no idea what’s next for 
them. They have no infrastructure beyond coaxial. Their advantage is that 
building out their infrastructure is a lot cheaper, so maybe they will become 
the cheaper alternative to the fiber option(s). 

I hear rumblings that Google fiber is going in the ground in my part of town 
(if not my immediate neighborhood), so it’s started, and we will all (most of 
us) have a wider (and more motivated) array of offerings in the not-too-distant 
future. 

Rejoice, my friends!

Totally, but be prepared for 30 minutes of steady, careful, intricate (and 
nerve-wracking, if you’re not the Super[Fix-It]Man type) work.

Make sure you buy the kits that come with all the tools, if you don’t already 
have them. The pentalobe screwdriver is not something you find in any old tool 
box.

Also, I find the instructions on the iFixIt site the best because of the 
high-resolution photos that you can blow up. Really helps. There are also 
plenty of videos on YouTube that will walk you through the whole thing.

And the 5s is a very nice phone. I still have one I use for audio and video 
recording when I need a separate device.

old files. If you want to USE them, then that’s a different story. 

Forget about QuarkXpress. InDesign is the new king of the hill now. You can get 
the whole Adobe Suite for a monthly fee now, so you always have the latest and 
they will all run on the very latest hardware.

If you don’t want to come all the way up to current stuff, you can get anything 
you want at Alice’s… er, I mean, on eBay, although they won’t be cheap if they 
are very recent.

Is this just a nostalgia trip or are you actually trying to do productive work 
with graphics?

Re: [MacGroup] Move print dialog box

Re: [MacGroup] MacGroup Digest, Vol 100, Issue 36

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Pen, most likely it was AT They are really working hard to be the fiber 
provider to Louisville ahead of Google. Google is supposed to be starting their 
rollout in the west end, so if you live there it MIGHT be Google, but with all 
the work I see AT doing around time, my bet is that it’s them.

They (AT) put fiber in my neighborhood and I love it. After several months of 
relegating my TimeWarner to second fiddle on my dual-WAN router, I cancelled 
that service. That’s $80 a month I can spend on other toys.

The AT is awesome! I get between 400 and 500 mbps download and consistently 
900 mbps upload. Nobody can tell me why my upload it so much faster than my 
download (or why my download is only half of what I am supposed to be getting), 
but AT says that is within their parameters. Since I run a variety of servers 
on my network, the fast upload means that someone can run a FileMaker app off 
my server at the full capability of their own download speeds. 

AT usually starts you off with a promotion, so in my case, my fiber actually 
cost less that that pitiful excuse for internet they had me on before (that I 
hardly used because TWC was the better service, then). That was a very easy 
decision to make.

Re: [MacGroup] When Consumer Reports Speaks......

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Laptops get more abuse because they get beat around more than a desktop, but 
your Mini has the same quality of hardware that is in their laptops. Which is 
to say pretty good, but not “mil spec.”

I have owned several Apple laptops ever since my Powerbook 150. Never had 
problem 1 with my Powerbooks. My first (G3) MacBook was repaired by Apple for 
free a few times and they finally gave me a brand new G4 one. Their experiment 
in “cheap” laptop was not super. 

My 2007 MacBook Pro had a mother board and a graphics card (because I used it 
all day long to drive THREE external monitors, I think I exceeded its design 
specs) replaced for free and it finally died due to a bad battery that pushed 
up on the mother board. That was years after it was replaced by its successor, 
though. But by then it was 7 years old. My current laptop is a long-in-the 
tooth 6-yrs-old MBP and works great, and I have never had any problems with it. 

I guess I have been luckier than you with laptops, Nora, but the user 
satisfaction statistics for Apple kit tend more in my direction than yours 
overall. 

Sorry about your luck.

Yeah, that sounds sexy, but Lee’s response mirrored my first thoughts!

I just had lunch with a friend that works for a group that is a partnership 
with private companies and the state that is rolling out fiber to every county 
in Kentucky. It won’t be tomorrow, but 100 mbps is on the short list for 
extinction risk.

And no, I can’t use this device, no matter how fancy it is, because my internet 
connection is 9 times what this thing supposedly can do. 

Maybe next year when they come out with Rev. B.

Re: [MacGroup] solar eclipse

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Harry,

Looking through an OPTICAL viewfinder of a digital camera is dangerous. Looking 
at a DIGITAL viewfinder is not. There is no way that an LED pixel can reproduce 
a fraction of the brightness of the sun. You’re safe there, but be careful if 
you are looking through OPTICS at the sun.

Modern Image sensors can handle way more light than the infamous TV camera they 
burnt out on the moon when the astronauts pointed it accidentally at the sun. 
(Anyone remember that? First TV pictures from the moon and they blow up their 
camera!)

It’s best to just use an app on the iPhone, but on other digital cameras you 
can turn down the ISO to a really low number to cut back the sensitivity of the 
sensor. I would turn it as low as it can go. Even then it might behoove you to 
add a neutral density filter in front of the lens just in case. Any camera 
store would have one to fit your camera. Even taping a small one over the lens 
of your iPhone might be a good idea as well.

Here’s a nice PDF on the subject on NASA’s site, that also mentions an add-one 
telephoto lens, which is also a great idea. 
https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/Photographing%20the%20Eclipse%20with%20your%20Smartphone.pdf

To get the best quality you don’t want to have to use the DIGITAL zoom on the 
iPhone, or any camera for that matter. A telephoto add-on would greatly 
increase the quality of the shots. For that matter, you should probably just 
get a telephoto for your camera if one is available, because you’re likely to 
use it more than an awkward and wobbly attachment to your phone. A 200mm (35mm 
equivalent) would be about right. Ask at your local camera store.

Oh, and a tripod. Gotta have a tripod.

Yeah, it gets rid of interference from many of your (and your neighbors’)

spreading their assigned frequency all over their "neighborhood."

Good to have the filter. 

I am surprised that I do not have one in my box of cable/tv detritus. They ARE

Re: [MacGroup] Time Machine (Time Capsule)

[Jonathan Fletcher]

Ann (and John),

Disk Utility does not need the drives to be visible on the desktop to work with 
them. They can even be worked with when unmounted, but they do need to be 
connected. I would try disconnecting the drive and reconnecting it to see if it 
will show up in Disk Utility. Everything should show up there all the time if 
it can recognize it. There might be something wrong with the drive, or it may 
just need to be reconnected. If that doesn’t work, restart the machine with the 
drive connected. 

There will be one or more files on the drive visible in Finder if it has 
anything Time-Machine-y on it, is mounted correctly and is working normally. 

I would reformat the drive and start over with your Time Machine regimen. If 
the drive then gives you ANY more problems e-cycle it and get a new one. Life’s 
too precious to waste it with misbehaving electronic devices.
