Re: Scan Failure Canon MP 600
Ray, that is interesting. Any other pearls about ti?

The trial edition will put a watermark on any images you scan and save. I have been using VueScan for close to a decade with many different scanners, including Canons, always with great results. I paid for the Professional Edition those many years ago and therefore have free upgrades all the time.

Re: Arcane messages from router
Ronda, thanks for the info and the link to the very interesting article. Also, the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aurora makes me feel better about using a Mac, and a non-Microsoft browser. On 31/01/2012, at 11:24 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Ray, Yes, I had noticed that the IP Address is from China. From what I understand these are automated port scans and are unfortunately quite routine. They are not directed at you specifically but rather at the entire network segment which you share with other subscribers. The hackers are looking for weakly secured, exposed services and hosts that they can intrude and commandeer to mount further attacks. Your router drops this traffic on the floor in its default configuration rendering it effectively harmless to you, unless you have configured it to expose hosts or services to the wide area network. There is no meaningful network performance impact. The packet traffic is dropped and it's small compared to the background or your actual legitimate browsing activity. Your Router is doing its job and Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention averts potential threats by scanning incoming traffic. The Router is informing you of the attempts via email messages which you have set in your Router. Most people aren’t even aware of these attempts, unless they have the alert email messages set on their Router. I did have my (since replaced) Netgear DG834G V4 alert me of such attempts, but don’t on my new Netgear. I don’t feel the need to be alerted all the time, I have my firewall on and WPA2 Personal security. As I mentioned before, as long as you have your wireless network protected with WPA2, and Firewall ON on your Macs, I would not worry about it.

3g Account Help.
I just got a new SIM for my iPad. I activated it last night but then had to got out. When I came home I was too tired to finish setting up the account so I turned off 3G and used WiFi to check the outside temperature, This morning I forgot it was on WiFi and attached it to the MacBookPro and it transferred everything but no prompt to set up the account. I disconnected the iPad, turned on 3G and reconnected. Still no prompt. I need to do this before I go to hospital at lunch time. Can someone please help?

Re: 3g Account Help.
Hi Diana, To begin activating service on a 3G iPad, tap Settings Cellular Data View Account, fill in the fields , tap the name of the plan that you want, and then tap Next to continue the activation process. Once your plan is active, if your iPad is connected to the cellular data network, you’ll see an icon near the left of your status bar that indicates the type of connection you have. To disable 3G connectivity temporarily, you have two options: 1. Open the Settings app, and at the upper left, turn on Airplane Mode. This turns off all wireless communications—Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and GPS. A white airplane  icon appears in the status bar, indicating that the iPad is in Airplane Mode. Or 2 In the Settings app, tap Cellular Data, and set the Cellular Data switch to Off.

Re: 3g Account Help.
Hi Ronda Thanks for putting me on the right track.. My account was already set up and the part I tried to do was for people without an iTunes account! A senior moment but I am a bit stressed.

Re: Unexpected gesture result
I think I may have solved my problem. I suspect I just touch the edge of the trackpad with the ball of my thumb when I am making certain gestures and this causes unexpected results.

I normally have the accessibility turned off in any case. Barry On 29/01/2012, at 12:59 PM, cm wrote: Hi Barry, You may be doing an Accessibility zoom in. It can be configured to be Control plus a two finger swipe up to zoom in and Control plus a two finger swipe down to zoom back out. As I say this is an Accessibility feature that can be turned off but I use it frequently to read fine print and thus have it turned on.

However, occasionally I get the same effect as if I have keyed alt-cmd-+ with the zoom option turned on. I have been unable to find a gesture that reverses this and I am forced to use alt-cmd-8 to return to the normal screen. Can anyone advise me what I may be doing to invoke the zoom? This usually happens while I am scrolling using two fingers. Am I doing this in an unusual part of the pad or am I accidentally dropping another finger onto a critical part? Similarly can anyone advise gesture which will reverse the action? The normal zoom in and out gestures with with two fingers owning or closing have no effect.
