Re: Mail

Hi Bill, Yes, I agree this has become too complex for you. You have third-party software installed on your system that is conflicting with Mavericks. You might find you need to go back and start again with a Clean Install of Mavericks. If you need a Mac Consultant for assistance, I recommend

Severin I got my last lot of RAM from Daniel. His price was very competitive and I would recommend at least contacting him to get advice. Regards Barry iMac 10,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz 16GB RAM 1.0 TB HD OS X 10.9.3 On 9 Jun 2014, at 1:21 pm, Severin Crisp sevcr...@westnet.com.au

Thanks for the response Ronni. I did try the saving/exporting in all the various ways you outlined but without success. Your second email suggestion, to remove /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin” appears to be the answer as the offending file has now been saved successfully sung

Re: iMac RAM

Hi Severin, I agree with Barry to contact Daniel for his advice cost. Officially your model iMac supports Max 16GB of Memory... However, third-parties have discovered that it actually will support 32GB of memory using four 8Gb modules. But, Daniel is the person to contact and he will

Re: iMac RAM

Thanks Barry / Ronni Yes, third party will take it to 32GB no problems at all. Just depends on pricing sometimes. Replied to Severin off list to his email he sent me :) Just home working through the day's emails,…lol. Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone 5 --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry

Re: How to tell connection on portable HD ?

Hi Stephen Sometimes (not always) you can tell by the cable itself. If you look at the USB connector that goes into the computer itself, (the Rectangular end), generally USB3 has a blue connector on it and USB2/1 has a white end. The other one to confirm is if you go to Apple menu - About this

iPad not charging

Help! iPad 2 won’t charge. It started out plugged into my computer for updating - didn’t charge, didn’t make its happy little chirp. There is a small icon I haven’t seen before next to the depleted battery icon: looks like a slightly skewed arrow head. So then I plugged it into the mains

Re: iPad not charging

Hi Pad, Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

iPad 2 update

I just tried the USB cable from the iPhone4, and now the iPad is charging while plugged into the computer. If I remember correctly, this will do the job even though it is a smaller cable. How important is it to have the correct connector? Cheers, Pat -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List

Re: iPad 2 update

Hi Pat, Best to charge your iPad connected to Power with the Power Adapter, not on your computer's USB port. iPad is designed to charge with the USB power adapter provided in the box. iPad will charge with any Apple USB Power Adapter and will also charge, although more slowly, when attached

Thanks Peter. I will try to keep that in what little mind I have for future Adobe Reader updates (unfortunately, at the moment we have to keep using Adobe Reader for Flash files). Regards John On 10 Jun 2014, at 7:11 am, Peter Hinchliffe hinch...@multiline.com.au wrote: On 9 Jun 2014, at

Hi, Ronni and Susan, Thanks very much for your input. I’m vastly relieved that the problem seems to be with the USB cord, but I wonder what makes such a thing go bad. Thanks again! Pat On 10 Jun 2014, at 8:02 am, Susan Hastings susanhasti...@mac.com wrote: Hi Pat, have you tried using a

Re: iPad not charging

Yes, cords seem to have recently become problematic. I actually think Apple has built intelligence into the iOS to 'permit' only kosher Apple hardware to work when connecting to ALL attachments. Recent experience with my dock indicated same, a $2 eBay 30 pin to Lightning adaptor became

Imation re drives ejecting in Mac sleep mode.

Hi folks …. FYI I emailed Imation to ask if any of their portable external drives had been configured yet to handle the later Mac’s low powered sleep mode. They eject when Mac is in sleep mode. Following is their reply and my response to their reply. Dear Stephen, Thank you for taking

Re: iPad not charging

Hi Peter and Pat, Genuine Apple cables (and certified 3rd party cables) have a small chip in them with a small set of code. They will work unless defective. Period. Then there are 3rd party cables that are not certified. They all fall into a couple of categories: 1. Cables that use a

Re: Imation re drives ejecting in Mac sleep mode.

Hi Stephen, Power management in newer Mac products use a VERY LOW POWER sleep mode, almost to hibernation state. Most external drives can only detect a connection to a computer when the computer is sending a line level signal via connection cable. When newer macs enter sleep mode the power is

Re: Imation re drives ejecting in Mac sleep mode.

Hi Ronni - you must have been the WAMUG member who gave me this info about a year ago. And I thank you for that. I have sleep mode switched off on my iMac since then, so not a problem. However I always power my iMac off each night and power on again in the morning. This does not seem to be a

Re: Imation re drives ejecting in Mac sleep mode.

So as far as we are aware there are not yet any portable hard drives that have the sleep issue covered ? As far as I am aware Power Nap will not power on a USB drive. When your Mac is plugged into AC power, Power Nap can perform things like Time Machine backups to an AirPort Time Capsule
