 Sounds like the email is being routed through a mail server based in
 Melbourne/Sydney (3 hrs ahead of WA), and the mail is picking up a

Hi People,

It seems thisTime Stamp error is only happening in Entourage, not in Apple Mail?
If so check your prefs in Entourage they are possibly incorrect. Check what 
Time Zone is set for New Events and email.

Re: Emails show time 3hrs behind

2009-12-17 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Barb,

Entourage is known for this time stamp problem.

Could you just check this please? 
Open System Preferences, Date  Time Preferences.
First ensure that the correct time zone is selected, and then make sure that
the correct date and time are entered.

Then, close System Preferences, and re-launch Entourage (quit and re-launch
if it was already open).  Go to Entourage  Preferences.  Under General
Preferences, click Calendar.  Select the proper Default time zone for
new events from the menu, and click OK.


The problem has to be caused by the Time not being set correctly on one of 
these:

1. The Mail Server that sent the message
2. The Mail server that received the message
or
3. The Time is set correctly but an incorrect Time Zone has been selected.

I had this issue with Bob Howells email quite some time back, we eventually 
solved the Time Stamp problem ... it was his ISP's Mail Server was using an 
incorrect time.

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Walter,
 
 You were not trying to delete the photos from a Smart Album or a regular

 You can't delete a photo from a Smart Album or regular album, but you can 
 from Events or Photos. 
 You can only remove a photo from an album, but not delete from there.
 
 When you delete a photo, because it is still technically in the library until 
 you empty the trash, the map marker remains 
 (in case you change you mind and undelete the photo).

 Do you mean you deleted photos from within iPhoto Application Library, by

 iPhoto  Empty Trash? ... not from the iPhoto Library in your Home

 The only way to delete photos in iPhoto is to delete them in iPhoto and 
 when you do and empty the iPhoto trash the photo is totally removed from 
 the iPhoto  - the original, the thumbnail and the modified version if there 
 is one.
 
 Is this NOT happening, the Photos are NOT actually deleting?

 Hi Stephan
 
 I'm not sure if this will help your current situation but I bought a 
 inexpensive HP all in one awhile back and was using
 it on my MacBook using the included software.  For the price it worked fine 
 although the software was a little flakey and not very user friendly.
 
 When Snow Leopard was being released all the guru's on the list advised 
 everyone to clean out their computers and do a little house work. One of the 
 programmes  
 that was not supported was the HP printer so I uninstalled the driver and 
 waited until HP undated it. 
 
 Once it was announced all their current printers were updated all I did was 
 plug the printer into the usb port and OSX did the rest. It advised me that 
 new software was 
 available and I downloaded it and haven't looked back. It now prints and 
 scans better than ever and it is all done through System Preferences 
 
 Hope this helps
 
 cheers
 
 Pedro

Re: Printers compatible with latest Mac OS

2009-12-17 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Stephen,

Did you try my suggestion that I sent yesterday? 
HP Scan Pro is no longer supported, but the new installers include HP Scan 
which does work in Snow Leopard.
Also note that HP Device Manager is not supported under Snow Leopard and will 
not be returning. Most of the functionality can be found inside of HP Utility.

Download new updated Drivers from HP for your C4480 All-In-One Printer. It 
does say OS X 10.6 compatible.
This seems to solve the problem but scanning is now a self contained 
application and not part of the HP photosmart studio software.

This is the Direct Link for your C4480:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-74785-1lc=endlc=encc=uslang=enos=219product=3418705
 

Some people prefer to use Preview.app or Image Capture.app instead of the HP 
Scan.

Cheers,
Ronni

I also purchased the Qpix FS170 on Paul's recommendation.  Mine is 
slightly different to the one in the advert.


On the OfficeWorks scanner there are 5 control buttons on the top of

 The link you supplied before takes you to the Qpix FS170 Film 
Scanner which is the same Film Scanner as Paul's Subject.

 If Target have this Model at $79, it's a very good price.

 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Are they similar to the Qpix one?


 There are two resolutions available, 5M and 10M.

 Hi Paul
 Is the resolution for scanning fixed or can it be adjusted?  If the
 latter, what range is available?

 Hi Bill,

 It comes with a disk of software for direct connection to a 
Windoze machine, but this is of little relevance to me. The unit 
is stand-alone and creates .jpg images onto the HD card as if it 
was a camera, which I suppose it is really.  I prefer to use it 
not directly connected to the computer anyway.  I'll be putting 
a sample image on my blog later this morning, about 9am.  By the 
way, the slide and negative holders are the best and most robust 
that I've come across.


 Cheers, Paul.

 Seeing as no one else seems to know about these very compact 
Qpix FS-170 film and slide scanners I went back to OfficeWorks 
Freo this morning and discovered they gone on sale at $129.  I 
bought one and quickly have found it to be a terrific 35mm 
slide copier. Maybe less than half a second to scan a colour 
slide.
 There's a strong slide holder which comes with the scanner. It 
can be lined up easily on the colour preview screen.  There is 
also a holder for 35mm negatives.  The images are stored on a 
user-supplied SD card.  I simply borrowed a card from my 
camera. Later I uploaded the scanned images via the camera to 
iPhoto. The test images so far are excellent. The scanner can 
run on four user-supplied AAA batteries which they reckon 
provide about 90 minutes use.  Alternatively they supply a USB 
cable which can draw power from a computer or the AC power 
supply, which is also provided.  There is also a special 
brush/wiper for cleaning the optics inside the device.

 
 The scanner is one of the niftiest gadgets I've seen for a 
long time. A sophisticated, precision bit of stand-alone gear. 
I suggest if anyone has slides to copy then this is going to be 
the ant's pants.  At least I think so. At $129 I think they'll 
go out the door pretty quickly once the word gets around.  Be 
warned, the instruction book takes a little study to figure all 
the options out. I'm still working on it.


 Cheers, Paul. :)
