Re: Creative Suite 2 (CS2)
Hi Merv, Adobe Creative Suite CS3 works in Snow Leopard. CS2 is problematic even in Leopard. I would not recommend installing Rosetta unless upgrading to the current version is not an option. This Adobe blog has a lot of information about Adobe and Snow Leopard compatibility: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/category/snow-leopard The only thing in cs3 that won't work is the acrobat distiller printer. It's not really a problem though, see these two articles for details: http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html Cheers, Ronni On 16/03/2011, at 1:42 PM, Merv Bond wrote: CS2 runs under OS 10.4.11 Will it run under OS 10.5?

I went into the Mac store in the centre of town and was bewailing the fact that my MBP did not have a phone plug ,so I could not use my MBP in Quinninup and the techie gave me a little USB dongle which works very well.

Re: Creative Suite 2 (CS2)
Ronni and Rod Thank you for your responses to my questions. The relationship between CS and Snow Leopard appears to be somewhat unstable so, given the cost of CS, staying with OS 4 and CS2 for a little bit longer might be the wisest option.

Re: Creative Suite 2 (CS2)
Hi David, Like you I’ve been waiting for an alternative to AW’s Database. Tried Bento before, but this version might just do it for us, perhaps? Make the most of your AppleWorks database and spreadsheet info with Bento http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/appleworks.html Cheers, Ronni On 17/03/2011, at 10:45 AM, David Noel wrote: -- Thanks a lot, Daniel.

Re: Creative Suite 2 (CS2)
Noel Would be pleased to hear how your experiment works out with importing AppleWorks data base into Bento. By saving an AppleWorks data base in ASCII I was able to import it into Access. Haven't explored Bento. Hope to hear some good news. Merv On Thu17Mar2011 Thu17Mar10:45 AM, David Noel wrote: -- Thanks a lot, Daniel.

Re: Travels with my iPad
Hi All Still having problems with my emails (Mac Mail from my iMac) - very strange behaviour. It all seems to have started with the change from a POP3 to an IMAP account a month ago. Now... - Can't send emails with photos attached (small size) - Huge activity shown in my Mail Activity box but nothing appears in my In-Box - but still receiving emails listed on my webmail - In webmail - emails placed in folders and deleted messages are appearing as individual emails for each line of text - Other weird behaviour In talking to Optus tech help - it is recommended that I switch my account back to POP3 (My iPad is IMAP) I don't really understand the difference between the 2 types of accounts - but any comments/suggestions would be welcome. Maybe it is an Optus thing - or it is time to call in Dr Daniel! Regards Marlene Oostryck On 14/03/2011, at 8:12 PM, Marlene Oostryck wrote: Hello All I have just returned from a month's cruising and 5 days in China - with mixed results using my brand new iPad. (5 countries,11 ports so no sim card). Downloading photos/videos from 2 new cameras ( a Canon Powershot G12 and a Nikon D7000) at the end of each day was great and enabled adjustments to be made to camera settings the next day. Whiling away long hours at airports was a breeze with games and books loaded before I left. Emails were not so successful. All during the voyage the ship Diamond Princess had great problems with internet connections and it was quite common for 1 email to take up to 100 minutes to send - and then sometimes fail. At $3.95 to log on and then 75 cents per minute - I decided not to help the US economy! Another problem - I unsubscribed from WAMUG the day before I left to cut back on the number of emails received - but did not find out for 3 weeks that there was a verification email after I left - so huge numbers of emails continued to arrive. When in port I was never able to access internet cafes until my last few days and a visit to the Apple Store in Beijing - along with half the youth population there. Another complication. On advice from my One-to-One trainer at the Apple Store here in Perth I had changed my email accounts on my iMac (thanks Daniel K) and my iPad from a POP to IMAP account. Optus did not like this so blocked a lot of my emails when they reached a certain number. The email I tried to send from the Beijing Store on 4 Mar came with the message, Service not available but was delivered on the 12 March! Optus treated my attempts at SMS the same way - on a pre-paid mobile - some were successful, most failed. I'm off on another cruise in Europe in May/June so hope I can resolve these communication issues.
