Hi all
As others have mentioned it would be better to ensure you reply offlst
with these private details.
The easist way to do this is either:
a) hit reply and make sure to change the address or
b) hit forward which is the safer method as no address copies across
and you're forced to put
For the older more senior wamuggers you have to tell them three times before it

Hey Mac,
Perhaps you need to set your Mac to read your emails out loud to you ;-)
Your Mac can read aloud to you?
Thanks for posting this, Ronni.
I just did it. Really cool. Shame all the voices sound like Stephen
Hawking.

Recently someone, I'm sorry I forget who, mentioned iGrabber to get movies
from VHS tapes.
I bought one and it works a treat. $59 inc postage.
It produces a .mov file. This plays on well Quicktime.
On VLC it plays the video with no audio and
on DVD player it won't play at all.
Is there a

Shame they don't do the same as Tom Tom. I have Billy Connolly

Hi Andrew,
I have Alex on my TomTom as well. He is polite, not pushy ;-)
Have you looked under Show More Voices - Novelty?
System Prefs Speech - Text to Speech
Voice: Show more Voices, then under Novelty

That would quite a gig for Billy Connolly, or Snoop Dog for that
matter, to read out and record every word that could possibly typed on
a computer.

Hi Laura,
all is not too bad.
The mother board and memory modules are still good otherwise you wouldn't have
got going.
By the sound of it, it is down to the internal hard drive. Good on you for
having a backup drive to boot from and hopefully with all of your essential
documents still safe.
Thank you Ronni and Eugene
I knew there was some way to start up in safe mode but could not remember how
to do it! I've now printed out the instructions.
I have to go out for a while and will then come back and try what has been
suggested. I do hope the problem is not too dire and if it is,
Hello Laura and others
It may also be worth trying a start up and resetting the parameter RAM.
Set the system preferences to start from the working external drive (system
preferences/startup drive). Then shut the machine down and restart while
holding Command + Option + P + R.

Hi Laura
4 years is not too bad for a Hard Drive, I have had some last for over 7 years
and some just a few months!! If you had Applecare then it would be covered for

covered by the manufacture for 1 year. To give

Thank you all for your advice.
I did have Apple Care but of course it has now expired. I was unaware it could
have been extended and will note that for future reference. I know it is
probably time for me to upgrade to a more recent model but having spent quite a

1. Startup whilst holding the Option (alt) key.
2. Then select your Startup Drive.
3. Restart from your Startup Drive
Cheers,

Hi Ronni
Yes I have tried that suggestion but nothing happened at all. No Apple icon nor
question mark.
I had considered contacting Daniel but did not want to bother him on a holiday
weekend. Now he has offered I'll contact him off list and see what we can sort
out.
Many thanks
