Passport photos
Any advice would be appreciated. I have tp provide a passport photo 2.6 wide by 3 high. I selected a photo from iPhoto and reduced the size to what I required using Graphic Converter. I then tried to print it but cannot get it to print out correctly from either iPhoto or Preview or Graphic converter. I get either a large distorted photo or only part of it. I have tried all sorts of settings. Any ideas?

Re: Passport photos
Hi Just take the image to a photo kiosk and choose the passport print option, it will give you 4 correct size images. Much less hassle for less than a dollar.

Re: Do not hide + Spaces
Hi NicholasI once did a private poll of my Mac using friends and asked who was using Spaces (remember Reg?) and I found that most of my women friends used it and most of the men didn't. I, like you, wonder how I ever lived without it. I still can't get my husband to use it though.WendyOn 21/03/2010, at 18:15 , Nicholas Pyers wrote:Space can take a bit of getting used too, but if you run it constantly for a week you'll wonder how you ever lived with out it.

Yes Wendy, I remember, and I still don't use it. Reg On 23/03/2010, at 5:25 AM, Wendy S.

Re: IMovie 09 to iDVD 09 - terrible results
Hi Marlene, Sorry to hear you are still having problems with creating a DVD of a good standard. What you are seeing sounds like Combing / Jaggies - Interlacing artifacts. Did you only check the video in iDVD's Preview? After you did Save As Disk Image of your iDVD Project, and played it in DVD Player, were the Combing / Jaggies as noticeable?. Also, what size images did you use in iMovie? 768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format 1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format Cheers, Ronni On 22/03/2010, at 1:06 PM, Marlene Oostryck wrote: Hi Ronni At last I have found some time to proceed with your instructions. Thank you so much for them. The first part went well and the detail you included made it easy. I saved a DV format of my project. Working through iDVD was not easy but I finally got through the Theme part, and dropped my DV movie in. Unfortunately when viewing the preview there is still an unacceptable amount of horizontal movement. Perhaps I should accept that iMovie was designed for movies, not photos - even though the facility is there to include photos incorporating a Ken Burns effect - and that I presumed iDVD would burn DVDs to play on a TV screen without loss of quality - as I have been able to do on a PC using Photo Story 3 and a Sonic plug-in. Is there any point in proceeding to burn a DVD or is the quality I see on the preview what I would get after burning?

Re: IMovie 09 to iDVD 09 - terrible results
Hi Marlene, I can get good reults blending movie files and photos with Ken burns effect into a single movie using iMovie, then burning to playable DVD with Toast. So sounds like using iDVD is where the problem begins.

Locked Keychain Problem
Hi imac power PC 750 (2.2) 400 mhz OS 10.3.9 Looks like the ethernet port on my emac has died - don't know whether the storm was responsible, but it was OK before, not working after. As a result (after spending half the night on the phone with 3 different Westnet techs), I've got the grey/clear imac I bought from PLC a couple of years ago up running finally internet connected. I've never really used this imac up till now it's never been on line before. Now I find it has a locked Keychain which keeps requiring a password - I have no idea what the PLC password was/is. It won't let me change the password because it's locked. (1) How do I either kill or disable Keychain, or at least unlock it? (2) How do I remove IE totally - don't want it the version on here seems unable to render any pages correctly anyway. (3) Where can I find a Firefox 2.0.0.20 dmg to download - have spent a couple of hours looking the only one I could download turned out to be Firefox php .. the imac just said Can't open this with Quicktime. Google searches purporting to find 2.0.0.20 keep leading to later versions. (Had no trouble downloading /opening /installing a Camino dmg for OS10.3.9). Thanks for any help! Feeling mightily frustratwd atm. (And not looking forward to getting the 30 kilo emac out into the car to hopefully get it fixed asap!) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: Locked Keychain Problem
Thanks Alistair! I have Firefox 2.0.0.20 on the emac as well (also running OS10.3.9), but no installer either; but I was told just copying won't suffice that you need the installer to have it install properly. Thanks for the thought though! 8-) Cheers ..
