subject of colour

I have an Epson R230 G5 with plenty of ram and Apple 17 LCD, 10.4.11 but It is trial and error when trying to get colour in print to match colour on screen. Has anyone set out a configuration that gets near to approximate colours. I know some people must have configured by now. tom -- The

Ethernet Issues on PB G4

I used a friends PowerBook G4 on the weekend. At home I used a static IP / ethernet setup and updated it to 10.4.11. I then went on the road and installed and used a Three mobile broadband modem (drivers downloaded before I left.) Now I'm back and not for love nor money can I get it to work

Re: mac OS 10.5 upgrade- iCal

Hi Gary, Yes another whom is annoyed at Apples upgrade of iCal and Address Book, but all in the name of progress of course if one lives in the USA. Some of the Address Book problems may not exist, always wondered about our insignificance here in Australia. Which has been reiterated when

Re: Video to iMovie

Hi Lloyd, I'm putting this back 'on WAMUG list' so other people may help and also follow the thread. Yes, iMovie in the iLife 08 install requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster).

Just a question, but will this method, or a variation at least of this work for discs from camcorders do you know Ronni? Thankyou for that though, it is a very well presented method. Sam On 04/06/2008, at 4:37 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Lloyd, I'm putting this back 'on WAMUG list' so other

Evening Malcolm, Not sure about program from JVC, but this beauty from Stefano Cinque, and some wonderful people at SQUARED 5 will suffice. An enviable Swiss knife of mpeg files and beyond even YOUTUBE, oh it is free. But, Quicktime Pro plus the Mpeg 2 plugin are a necessity both included

Re: Digital camera advice

Hi Greg and Yvonne Like Susan, I have always found that unless I use the camera regularly the rechargeable batteries have always discharged when I need them. So I also find that the AA batteries are always quickly replaceable. Any thoughts? Cheers John On 3/6/08 9:48 PM, Greg Bell [EMAIL

Hello Malcolm, What format are the recorded disks from the Camcorder? Toast Titanium can convert 'unprotected' dvd's to many formats, also Quicktime Pro as Rob has mentioned. Cheers, Ronni On 04/06/2008, at 7:17 PM, Rob Davies wrote: Evening Malcolm, Not sure about program from JVC, but

they are TDK dvd - RW, they they come up as a folder with video_ts in the info box. They have my home movies, but its getting sort of expensive buying new discs just because I don't know how to format them into something I can play. I will try Quicktime Pro as I don't have Toast, but

Hi Greg, Skype has the lot, message, audio, video, no probs. I have used it for quite a while. We use it to literally see the grandkids growing up overseas. Costs nothing unless you call a phone number (then it's about a third of normal O/S price) Only prob is if you use it to call Dubai the

Anomalies in copy

On 5, Jun 2008, at 5:01, WAMUG Mailing List included examples of an anomaly which has confused me for some time. It's likely that this has been explained in the past, but I have missed it. Example: In Ronni's reply to Gary, the symbols =92s appear in my received Digest copy in place of

Re: Anomalies in copy

Hello Vlad, What email application are you using to view the WAMUG Digest? It seems to me to be a Character Encoding format issue with what email app you are using. Can you change your default text encoding on that digest message and see if the message then displays correctly? Cheers,
