Re: My experience upgrading the SSD in a late 2010 Macbook Air

2011-05-27 Thread Scott Howell
The only comment I'd like to add is that OWC is an excellent company and you 
can feel confident in conducting business with them. The customer service staff 
are very helpful and try to assist in answering any questions.

 Hello All,
 
 A few months ago I purchased a refurbished Macbook Air to replace the combo 
 of my ipad and mac mini. I chose the maxxed-out eleven inch late 2010 MBA 
 figuring I could survive a couple of years with the 1.6 GHz CPU and 4 GB of 
 RAM, but also realizing I would need to upgrade the 128 GB SSD sooner rather 
 than later. Last week I purchased a 240 GB SSD upgrade and was able to 
 install this new drive with the itsy bit of vision I have left and I think 
 this upgrade could be performed by anybody who has a bit of close-up vision 
 or has sighted assistance, and also by totally blind folks who are patient 
 and are confident in their computer repair and upgrade skills. If you aren't 
 familiar with the dangers of static electricity and oily fingertips, the law 
 of wandering tiny screws, and the tendency of tall coffee cups to become 
 unbalanced when placed near a laptop, you should probably leave this one 
 alone or get somebody else to do it for you. grin
 
 The 2010 MBA's have an easily removable bottom cover that gives complete 
 unimpeded access to the internal SSD, which is apparently the single 
 upgradable part on this model of Macbook. The drive I purchased came with the 
 two small screwdrivers needed to remove and replace the cover and SSD. I had 
 only one step where I needed to use my vision, in combination with my iphone 
 4's video camera / magnifier. That step was locating the existing SSD and the 
 single screw that holds it in place. The SSD in this MBA does not look or 
 feel like a traditional hard drive. It is more like a traditional RAM module, 
 just a small, flat circuit board with a row of chips on it. It is rectangular 
 and measures approximately 1 inch by 4 inches and just a few millimeters 
 thick. I had some difficulty locating and identifying the SSD module as it 
 lies flat against the bottom of the mainboard and has no physical features 
 that really make it recognizable to the fingertips. To help myself recognize 
 what the SSD feels like, I removed the new SSD from it's packaging and gently 
 ran my fingertips over the module to get an idea of what I should be feeling 
 for inside the MBA. One end of the SSD module has a small screw hole and the 
 other end has a male connector that slides into the female counterpart on the 
 MBA's mainboard. The male connector is a small extension of the circuit board 
 and has a small offset slot that helps identify which side should face up or 
 down during insertion. Be sure to feel this slot on the existing SSD as you 
 are removing it so you can know which side should face up or down. It is a 
 snug fit and took a little gentle but firm wiggling to remove the old module 
 and insert the new one.
 
 I used the accessible and free application called Super Duper to clone my 
 existing SSD to an external USB drive and then back to the new SSD and this 
 seems to have worked flawlessly. There are some claims that this new SSD has 
 better performance and some features that will help prolong it's usable life, 
 but for me it was all about the extra storage space so I'm not planning to 
 run any geek tests. smile
 
 I usually purchase mac upgrade parts from Other World Computing, aka OWC, and 
 that's where I got this SSD. The OWC drives for the late 2010 MBA currently 
 come in four sizes: 180, 240, 360 and 480 GB. They are not cheap but as far 
 as I can tell they are the only SSD upgrades currently available and approved 
 by Apple for this model MBA. Here's a link to the OWC site for these drives: 
 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
 
 OWC has some good installation instructions on their site, and a quick Google 
 returns a number of other hits with step-by-step instructions for performing 
 this upgrade, Here's a pretty clear one: 
 http://www.wholelottarob.com/gadgets/2011/5/9/120gb-not-on-macbook-air-not-enough-consider-upgrade-up-to-4.html
 
 If anybody would like to discuss my experience with this in more detail, 
 please feel free to contact me off list.
 Cheers,
 Bryan

Re: Confused about Gmail

2011-05-27 Thread Jon Cohn
That article is a little old now.  There are some things that GMAIL has changed 
and there are weirdnesses that Apple has done with SPAM / Junk folders in 
10.6.5 I believe.  Except  for possibly the use of the Spam folder, I think 
most of the article will still work.  The big change on the GMAIL side is the 
creation of Important folder that attempts to figure out what you really want 
to read.

Have a great weekend!

word processing on the mac

2011-05-27 Thread richard watson
Good morning listers,
I have recently purchased an imac. Thus far I have moved my email to
it, used it for my itunes to manage media, and browse the internet. I
will move my pc over to it using vmware fusion.
the question is this: what are the most accessible word processing
programs out there. I need some access to doing columns and tables.
Obviously I would like to move this part of my life to mac but wonder
if I've got to keep that part in my windows vm.
I serve a local church as their pastor and am doing bulletins and the like.
btw the church website if you are interested is
www.leisenringpresbyterianchurch.org.
thanks for any advice.
I have listen to Mike's mac podcasts on blindcooltech and would like
to hear feedback on my various options.

Connecting a usb mick to a mac mini

Morning list.  I am going to be going to get a new mick for my birthday which 
ofcorse is today.  I have a question about connecting usb.  Is there anything I 
will need to do after connecting the usb cable to the mac.  I am using a mini 
from 2009.  Is there anything in prefrensiz that I will need to change or will 
it just work?  If I get a desktop mike, is this a problem or will I be fine.  
This will be my first time connecting a mike to this machine.  Any thoughts 
would be helpful.

Re: iTUNES Question.

2011-05-27 Thread Tim Kilburn
George,

It looks like iPod Rip is off the radar right now.  Try this app instead:

http://download.cnet.com/PodPhone-to-Mac/3000-18546_4-75327094.html?tag=rbxcrdl1

It's called PodPhone-To-Mac if the link doesn't work.

 That's great, where from do I get iPod Rip?
 Original message:
 Hi George,
 
 As far as I'm aware, you have the following options:
 
 1.  If your iPod was set up with your iTunes account, then the music should 
 transfer from the iPod to the Mac as long as the same itunes Store account 
 is used on the Mac.
 
 2.  Use your Windows PC or something like iPod Rip to get the music from the 
 iPod Touch to the Mac.  If you use the Windows PC, it would be a two step 
 process.  First, get the music off the iPod and onto the PC, then second, 
 transfer it from the PC to the Mac.  If you use an app like iPod Rip, the 
 music can be transferred directly from the iPod Touch to the Mac then can be 
 imported into iTunes.
 
 Once the music is in iTunes, then it can be synced with any iDevices you 
 own, iPads, iPhones and iPods.
 
 HTH.

 Original message:
 Hi George,
 
 How did you get your music on your Touch?  If you used iTunes to sync it 
 there, then you can use the same process to sync music onto the iPad.  As 
 long as you use iTunes as your main music library, you are able to place 
 music on any of your iDevices.  If you have purchased the music with your 
 Touch, then simply sync the Touch with your iTunes Library on your Mac, 
 all the music should thus move over to the Mac then you can sync it to the 
 iPad.
 
 If you used some other method to place music onto your Touch, then you'll 
 need to use a ripper app to acquire the music from the Touch.

Re: word processing on the mac

2011-05-27 Thread carolyn Haas
Hi Richard:
For word processing, the recommended apps are in the iWork suite, that includes 
pages, numbers and keynote.  The simplest app to work with is text edit.  But, 
I'm not sure how well it would handle columns or tables.

Finally, while you can't use MS Office for Mac, there is something called open 
office that people are successfully using.  I don't have much info about this 
program either. But, you may find more info in the archives of Macvisionaries.

How do I expand the message headers in mail so  that I am able to read all of

read who the message was sent to, Vo will read the first few names and then  
read the number of other people that received the email.
How can I read the full list of names  who received the email?

Re: help with reading headers in mail

Hi Laura,
The command you want is cmd-shift-h, which will display full headers and hide 
them again if you don't want them.
Be aware this will display the message ID and a bunch of more technical 
information you may or may not want.  I'm not sure of a more focused way to 
handle this particular problem.
YOurs,

Re: Connecting a usb mick to a mac mini

Hi,

Yes, all macs except the mac mini has a built in mic.  Good?  I guess this is a 
pretty relative term.  It depends on what your planning on doing with your mic, 
and what your standards are.  If your just needing a mic for chatting on skype,

probably show up as a button that you have to route the mouse to and then do a

Re: word processing on the mac

Hi Richard:
Sadly, I haven't had to work with those a lot, and I've barely begun to make

 Finally, while you can't use MS Office for Mac, there is something called

Re: Help with references in Pages 09

2011-05-27 Thread Esther
Hi Thomas,

You asked earlier about writing in APA style format for Pages 09.  I don't use 
this myself, but I did a Google search and found this web page, titled Apple 
Still Doesn't have an APA Template for Pages?:
http://www.frameloss.org/2009/07/16/apple-still-doesnt-have-an-apa-template-for-pages/

Go to the link for APA Template for Pages 09 and download the file, 
apa.template, then open this in Pages 09.  This doesn't solve the issue of the 
reference style format, but might be of assistance if you are supposed to 
adhere to APA style writing in your paper format.  

I know there are web cites that people use, such as citation builder, son of 
citation, and bibme, to fill in forms and obtain references back in APA (or 
other styles).  These seem rather contrived to use.  If you have an iPhone, 
iPod Touch, or iPad, there is a free iCite APA app that is an app version of 
the WriteCite.com web cite, and will  take care of formatting APA style 
reference lists:

iCite APA (free) by MasterGraphics Pty Ltd:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icite-apa/id429178021?mt=8

I don't know if you have an iOS device, but assuming you do, you could start in 
the main iCite APA Menu page (Menu is 1st of the 3 buttons at the bottom of 
the screen), then choose a category from the list that you want to use for 
citation (e.g., Books, Journals, Internet, etc.) and then select the 
appropriate sub-category (e.g., could be an Edited Book, Book, or Book 
Chapter in the first instance).  Then fill in the text fields (Author, 
Title, etc.) and double tap the Preview button in the top right corner.  
You'll be show the formatted citation on the Preview Citation screen, and you 
can either flick right and double tap the Save Citation button at the bottom 
left to save the citation locally in the app (for later access in the Saved 
Citations menu -- 2nd of 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen), or flick 
right again and double tap the Email Citation button at the bottom right.  
(Although the app is supposed to italicize titles in its formatting, I don't 
think this information is preserved if you mail yourself this information.)  If 
you want to look up a reference, you can choose the Worldcat Search (first 
item in list) on the Menu screen.  For example, if you want to find citation 
references to books by a certain author,  double tap the text box to enter the 
name, then flick right to the Lookup button and double tap.  You'll get a 
number of matching results (prefixed with numbers -- hash marks surrounding a 
catalog record number -- followed by the reference citation.  If you want to do 
a title search or subject search, move to the picker item in the center of the 
screen, just below the Lookup button, and flick up to set the keyword to 
Title.  Then go back to the text field (e.g., flick left twice), double tap 
to edit the entry; delete the old search term and type in the title, then flick 
right to the Lookup button and double tap.  You need to input a recognizable 
title -- a few keywords won't work.  If that's a problem, search on the 
author's last name.  As before, you can select a citation entry, then either 
save it or email it.

The other thing you could do, following the comments on the linked web page at 
the start of this post that gave the APA style template for Pages 09, is to 
maintain your references in a database using the free BibDesk program, and then 
run one of the CiteInPages AppleScripts to insert the references into Pages in 
the APA style. Again, I don't have experience using this, and this may be more 
work than you want to do, but it may be worth the investment if you're going to 
do a lot of research paper writing in this format, and if there isn't an update 
to Pages that adds these features.  BibDesk is one of the tools that is used 
with TeX (or the TeXShop program), but is freeware and can be separately used 
to maintain your bibliography database.

I think the easiest solution for the present would be to use the iCite APA app, 
or a web page equivalent if you don't have an iOS device.   I'll give you the 
URL of the CIteInPages AppleScripts.  (BibDesk is linked on that page).

 Is it possible to create these things in Pages? I know it is doable in other 
 programs such as MS Word, but unfortunately I have not access to a version of 
 it, which can insert the right APA-requirements  . It can also create the

gmail and iPad 2 questions

2011-05-27 Thread Sarai Bucciarelli
All:
I have a few quick questions. 
1. I have threading set to on, how do I read messages in the thread on my 
ipad/phone?
2. How do I erase messages? I choose edit, select messages, and all I have is 
move, or archive. Even if I read a message, I cannot delete it.
3. I have labeles set to all my messages, and they do not appear on my 
phone/ipad. All messages appear in the inbox, not in specific labels.
Thanks,

Re: Qwerty keyboard case for ipad 1

2011-05-27 Thread Charlie Doremus
There are no slide out keyboards for iPad of any generation that I am aware 
of. You have to get a Bluetooth or wired keyboard which requires an iPad dock. 

You can purchase our book
 You Might Be A Moron at our website www.giantdolphin.com at the off the 
bookshelf link as a PDF for $7.99  

Aloha, Charlie

Re: Qwerty keyboard case for ipad 1

2011-05-27 Thread Paul Mimms
You might want to look at the ZaggMate from Zagg.com.  The keyboaard does not 
slide out but is stored beneath the iPad in a kind of clamshell configuration 
that allows the Ipad and keyboard to protect each other.  The keyboard is built 
into the ZaggMate and the  Ipad flips over and fits snugly on top of the 
ZaggMate and its built-in bluetooth keyboard.

is this normal? waking mac does not find wireless network

2011-05-27 Thread John Sanfilippo
Hi,

I recently acquired an Airport Express. I'm running an iMac since November 2008.

Whenever I wake the mac from sleep I get a system UI agent message saying it 
can' find my preferred network. I must log in each time. Is this normal 
behavior, or should the mac be able to access the network without login since 
it is the principal computer of the network?

Thanks for listening,
John S

Re: gmail and iPad 2 questions

2011-05-27 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Sarai,

For Question #1:  Double-tap on the message and it will open the thread.  Once 
inside the thread, there will be Previous and Next buttons so that you can make 
your way through the messages.  Therefore, you can read each message 
individually in the thread.

For Question #2:  In GMail, Archive is the same as Delete.  It's just a 
terminology thing.  GMail archives your messages as opposed to deleting them.  
They do actually get deleted after a while though, usually around 30 days or 
so.  If we connect this answer to answer for Question 1, you can double-tap the 
Archive button and GMail will archive that message and automatically move you 
to the next message in the thread.

Later...

Re: is this normal? waking mac does not find wireless network

2011-05-27 Thread Tim Kilburn
No this is not normal behaviour.  I'd check for any Software Updates for your 
Mac as well as repairing your permissions.  You could also check for any 
updates to the Airport Express software but your issue sounds like it is at the 
computer end to me.

Re: gmail and iPad 2 questions

2011-05-27 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

You can actually have the message deleted instead of archived.  Go to 
settings/mail, contacts, and calendars.  Double tap on the gmail account.  Then 
turn archive messages off.  Now a delete button will be shown instead of the 
archive button in mail.

Hi,

I recommend using a twitter client like syrinx or YoruFukurou which can be 
found in the Mac app store.
