Re: EyeTV device replacement

2019-01-04 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hi Alan,

When my device failed I got a new one from Daniel (McWizardry). When EyeTV was 
still owned by Elgato. That was much much cheaper, it was a Hybrid type with 2 
separate coaxial inputs.

Hi Ronni,

Yes I have:
1.  Photos Library.photoslibrary (38GB)
2.  iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (34GB)

The migrated Photos Library opens in Photos. But when I look in Get Info I can 
see that the
2 libraries are in MacIntosh HD Users fwhaenel Public (not in pictures). Do 
I have to move them to pictures ?

In Pictures I found :
1. iPhoto Library Recovered Photos
2. iPhoto Slideshows
I am also serching for the other library that only has 1 photo.

Thanks Ronni,

Cheers,
Walter

 Answers to your questions here below.
 
 A). On your wife's MBP  in her User Home Folder  Pictures - there are these 
 two files iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibary” and  Photos 
 Library.photoslibrary… Is this correct? Yes, this is correct.
 B). And your wife's MBP only has ONE iPhoto Library on her system... is this 
 correct? Yes, this is correct.
 C). And when you try to open PHOTOS on her MBP it doesn’t open... is this 
 correct - or what happens? When I press Photos on the toolbar, the Photos 
 application opens up at the new user screen indicating the 4 options. But no 
 images appear when selected on the Photos tab. When Albums tab is 
 selected, the Events folders from iPhoto are shown greyed out with no 
 photographs within the folders. I did not select Use iCloud, I never do.
 I presume you mean when you open Photos from the Dock? Yes I mean Dock, sorry 
 that’s the unfortunate byproduct of being sat in front of a Windows machine 
 all day.
 
 OK, has your wife tried the suggestions below yet?
 
 D) On her MBP - If she double-clicks on the  Photos Library.photoslibrary” 
 (in her Home  Pictures folder) does it open in PHOTOS? Yes, Photos opens 
 properly and sits with no photos showing (when Photos Tab selected) but the 4 
 options of what to do for a new user. As I noted prior, when I select the 
 “Albums” tab, it shows in grey form the panels reflecting the Events as was 
 the case in iPhoto previously.
 
 If PHOTOS app opens don’t go any further with my suggestions... 
 Sorry I meant don't go any further if PHOTOS opens and everything looks 
 correct in Photos. If not please continue.
 So please ask your wife to continue and do step E)  if necessary step F)
 
 If Photos app DOESN’T open continue with suggestions below 
 
 E) On her MBP - If she double-clicks on iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary” 
 (in her Home  Pictures folder) does it open in PHOTOS?
 By doing this - If it has completed the preparing  migration you will 
 receive a dialog window saying:
 --
  “Your photo library has been migrated to Photos.” 
 You can open it in iPhoto, but any changes such as editing or adding new 
 photos will not appear in the Photos app 
 Your options will be ‘Quit’ - ‘Open iPhoto’ - and a BLUE ‘Open Photos' - 
 Click  the BLUE ‘Open Photos'
 
 If E) doesn’t work try
 
 F) Hold down the Option key as you open the PHOTOS app in the Dock to see the 
 'Choose Library dialog' window.
 Click 'Other Library' 
 Select the 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary'
 See if that completes the ‘preparing for import’
 
 If none of the above sort out the Photos Library on your wife’s MBP, we could 
 try to Repairing the Photos Library.
 If Photos begins misbehaving, Apple has provided the capability for Photos to 
 repair its own libraries.
 
 From what information you have given me, it indicates by the size of each 
 Library (the 'iPhoto Library' file  the 'Photos Library’ file), that all the 
 Data appears to be there but for some reason not visible.
 
 I will send details how to ‘Repair the Photos Library’ if we do find we need 
 to try that. Seems I need to try a Repair Library.
 
 Not yet Peter and definitely not on your MBP.

Hi Ronni,

On the same subject.
Have this morning installed the 10.10.3 software.
After I opened Photos it goes into a tutorial: “Welcome to Photos” I declined 
iCloud sharing.
The sidebar shows Photos, but when I click on it there are no photos. I have 
been able to successfully import 1 photo from the desktop
into Photos.
I can still see the photos on my TV via Apple TV. Do I have to manually import 
all the photos ?

Thanks,

 Oh Peter,
 
 I said I would get back to you when possible, I wish you had waited.  I am 
 busy with Clients work and really don’t have time at present but reading 
 your email I decided to reply to try to explain quickly how the process 
 works.
 
 What you are now doing is Creating a NEW iPhoto Library (Duplicating all the 
 Media Files in iPhoto Library package)!
 You are not understanding the iPhoto  Photos Directory structure... and how 
 ‘Hard Links’ work so there is no duplication or extra space required on the 
 system.
 
 The Transition/Import from iPhoto to Photos has to be done on your wife’s 
 MBP where the Library files are in the correct locations to link the two 
 libraries using ‘Hard Links’. 
 
 Hard Facts about Hard Links
 On import, Photos makes a Hard Link to all iPhoto media assets in its own 
 library package, using the same directory structure as iPhoto (The libraries 
 say they’re roughly the same size, but in fact, they’re sharing disk space 
 via hard links).
 Think of hard links as a cousin of Finder aliases—rather than existing in 
 one place with an alias in a different location, files that are 'hard 
 linked' appear to live in two places at once, but only take up the space of 
 a single file.
 
 Your old library won't be converted, just imported, so you can still open it 
 in Aperture or iPhoto if you like (though once you import, if you do 
 anything new with that library in Aperture, it won't carry over to the 
 Photos version).
 
 So what happens if you edit one of those files? Something clever: if I edit 
 a file from a migrated iPhoto library in Photoshop, that version is 
 altered—but the version in the Photos library is untouched. 
 Basically, the act of modifying a hard-linked file causes the link to break. 
 Now there are two different files, both taking up disk space, living 
 independently.
 For Mac users accustomed to the a-file-is-a-file approach of the Finder, 
 this one’s a bit of a head-scratcher, but it’s a smart move by Apple to 
 allow us to migrate to Photos without duplicating an entire library and 
 eating all of our free disk space—or worse, never bothering to upgrade to 
 Photos because we don’t have the room.
 
 The new Photos library references the same master images as your old 
 library, so you don't need the space to store images twice. It also makes 
 for an incredibly efficient migration process.
 ---
 But because of your initial (dare I say - stuffup) this hasn’t happened. How 
 to correct it?? I need more information - what is on your wife’s MBP.
 From what I can ascertain from your emails - 
 A). On your wife's MBP  in her User Home Folder  Pictures - there are these 
 two files iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibary” and  Photos 
 Library.photoslibrary… Is this correct? 
 B). And your wife's MBP only has ONE iPhoto Library on her system... is this 
 correct?
 C). And when you try to open PHOTOS on her MBP it doesn’t open... is this 
 correct - or what happens?
 
 One suggestion I will make:
 On her MBP - If she double-clicks on the  Photos Library.photoslibrary 
 does it open in PHOTOS?
 If  NOT 
 Hold down the Option key as you open the PHOTOS app in the Dock to see the 
 'Choose Library dialog' window.
 Click 'Other Library' 
 Select the 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary'
 See if that completes the ‘preparing for import’

 Ronni

 I think I understand why you are unable to AirDrop to your iOS 8.1.1 devices.
 
 AirDrop works well between a 2009 iMac with 10.10.1 and a 2014 iMac with 
 10.9.5
 Yes as it should.
 
 Neither machine’s AirDrop screen shows the iPhone 5 with 8.1.1 or iPad mini 
 with 8.1.1.
 Both devices are set to “AirDrop Everyone”
 
 AirDrop won't work on your 2009 iMac to iOS devices because your 2009 iMac 
 won't have Bluetooth 4.0 support.
 In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod 
 touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to 
 be a 2012 or later model.
 
 Airdrop should work on your 2014 iMac to iOS devices... IF the iMac was 
 running Yosemite OS X 10.10.1
 
 AirDrop makes it easy to send files wirelessly from your Mac to other Mac 
 computers, and with OS X Yosemite you can also share with iOS devices.”

Yes, Bluetooth + WiFi are turned on on the iOS devices. And iMacs have

Re: WiFi Home Network with Ethernet.

2014-11-24 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hi Alan and Peter,

Is it quite ok to have ethernet and WiFi selected at the same time.
On a previous OS, I think it was Snow Leopard, I was told to only have one 
selected at the same time
otherwise it could cause some conflicts. Now I’m using 10.10.1. and I have both 
selected .

Cheers

 Connecting the ethernet cable had automatically set ethernet to the top of 
 the list.  I hadn’t looked at the gear icon to realize it also set the 
 “service order” parameter.  
 
 I think I had both ethernet and WiFi working in the past when I had a Belkin 
 modem/router with lower WiFi specs.  (Perhaps 2.4GHz only?)
 
 Cheers

 Yes, the currently active protocol will always appear at the top of the 
 active list in the Network Preferences window. The list you adjust in Set 
 sService Order… determines which protocol will be used  preferentially. You 
 should have ethernet at the top of that list.

Re: Drones

2014-11-01 Thread F.W. Hänel

the JDI Phantom  comes with a mounting bracket for the GoPro but would be more 
expensive than the Parrot 1 or 2.
However, you don’t use your iPhone/iPad to control it (limited WiFi range) it 
comes with it’s own dedicated radio (2.4GHz)
controller - like a model plane transmitter. You can start/stop the GoPro from 
the remote control when you need it.
DJI like Parrot use LiPo batteries.

iPhone 6

2014-09-21 Thread F.W. Hänel

I looked at them at Garden City. The round edge design does not appeal to me, 
reminds me of other smartphones. I prefer the more
mechanical feel of the old flat edge which gives the impression of a solid 
reliable device with a superior finish.  On/off switch on the 
side is more user friendly. Also, the old iPh 5 was thin enough for me and not 
too heavy. I am sure the new phones are better. My queries 
are just cosmetic. iPhone 6+ is too big for me.
Just my opinion.

Cheers,
Walter

 I found the iPhone 6 surprisingly comfortable to hold, but not so much with 
 the 6 Plus. I'm not sure I need to carry around anything of the size of the 6 
 Plus. I note that unlike the iPhone 5, the neither of the 6 models use the 
 extra screen real estate for yet another row of icons in the Home screen. 
 There is just empty space at the bottom of the screen. I expect things like

 You don't mention what OS X you are running or iPhoto version. I 'think' you 
 are running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
 If so:
 Sharing your iPhoto library in the public folder is not supported under MacOS 
 X 10.8.x. or OS X 10.9
 That would give permission problems and you could corrupt your iPhoto Library.
 
 Perhaps you could use iCloud Photo Sharing.
 Create a shared photo stream to share photos Photo Sharing:  iPhoto -

 Create a photo stream to share with just the people you choose.

 Hi Walter,
 
 When a Guest User logs out, all information and files in the Guest

 Guests don’t need a password to log in. While logged in, they can’t change

 remote login is turned on in Sharing preferences. 
 Files created by a guest are stored in a temporary folder, but this folder 
 and its contents are deleted when the guest logs out.

 user settings or computer settings. They also can’t log in remotely when 
 remote login is turned on in Sharing preferences. 
 Files created by a guest are stored in a temporary folder, but this folder 
 and its contents are deleted when the guest logs out.

Re: Memory problems

Hi Ronni and Paul,

I also installed Genieo some time ago and then used the uninstaller to remove 
it.  But some components could not
have been removed because now when I enter something in the web address line 
Google no longer launches but Genieo
and that only lists hits from advertisers. I would like to remove the leftovers 
but don’t know how. When I came across
the thesafemac info a few week ago I did not follow it as I had already 
uninstalled the main Genieo stuff and did not know
where to continue.

Cheers,
Walter

 Never install anything on your computer before you know How to uninstall it 
 correctly  every component it installs on your system! 
 
 Walter,
 Genieo is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller 
 that doesn't work.
 Go to this link and follow explicitly all the instructions by Linc Davis.

 Hi Walter  Stephen,
 
 In iTunes 11 is Home Video media kind. 
 In the Movies library, you’ll see a button for Home Videos. Any videos that 
 you import to iTunes—whether you shot them yourself or ripped them from 
 DVDs—get the Media Kind tag set to Home Video by default. 
 
 If they are DVD rips, you probably want to change the Media Kind to Movie. 
 The files are in the same library—Movies—but filed under different tabs.

 This way if either of them have internet capability you could make use of it.
 In other words as an Ethernet Bridge.
 
 I know it works because I tried it in my home.
 So I am now going to set it up for this purpose at my grand children’s home.
 But for some strange reason it WILL NOT work at my mother’s home (She does

 I think because the Windows version of Airport Utility is a bit quirky !! (As

Front row + Apple remote control

2014-03-26 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hello all,

A familiy member has an older iMac 7.1 running on 10.6.8 which was supplied new 
with a white remote control.
Front row can still be turned on but the original remote as well as another 
white one do not work with this
iMac (nothing happens when pressing any of the buttons). No response in iTunes 
either.
I have tested both remotes with my automotive IR tester, both produce a signal.
Is there a way of re-pairing them ? Have looked in system preferences but can’t 
see anything relevant. Have also
looked into system profiler but can’t see anything IR either.

Any helpful comments appreciated.

 Also make sure that someone hasn't disabled the IR remote in the settings.
 From memory in 10.6.8 this is in 
 System Preferences - Security. Under the General tab, there is something like 
 Disable remote control IR sensor. Make sure this isn't ticked. As if it is, 
 then the remote won't work. There should also be a Pair button there as 
 well from memory.
 
 That's worth a look also.

 Hi Walter
 
 Also make sure that someone hasn't disabled the IR remote in the settings.
 From memory in 10.6.8 this is in 
 System Preferences - Security. Under the General tab, there is something 
 like Disable remote control IR sensor. Make sure this isn't ticked. As if 
 it is, then the remote won't work. There should also be a Pair button 
 there as well from memory.
 
 That's worth a look also.
 
 Kind regards

 Hi Walter,
 
 From the Apple support page Pairing your Apple Remote with your 
 computer:
 
   • Log in on your Mac as an Admin user.
   • Get very close to your Mac (about 3 or 4 inches away).
   • Point the remote at the infrared sensor on the front of your Mac.
   • Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons simultaneously 
 on the remote for 5 seconds.
   • Your Apple Remote is now paired with your computer. You should see a 
 chain-link style lock appear in the center of your screen for a moment.

 Hello all,
 
 A familiy member has an older iMac 7.1 running on 10.6.8 which was 
 supplied new with a white remote control.
 Front row can still be turned on but the original remote as well as 
 another white one do not work with this
 iMac (nothing happens when pressing any of the buttons). No response in 
 iTunes either.
 I have tested both remotes with my automotive IR tester, both produce a 
 signal.
 Is there a way of re-pairing them ? Have looked in system preferences 
 but can’t see anything relevant. Have also
 looked into system profiler but can’t see anything IR either.
 
 Any helpful comments appreciated.

Hi Ronni,

No, when I have the Turbo 264HD stick plugged into an USB port it crashes and 
the -36 error shows up.
When the stick is not connected it will export, but the CPU is stresses out to

To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:
Disconnect any external device connected to your computer.

1. Shut down your computer

4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress

Safe Mode is much slower to boot and run than normal.
Test Console.app while in Safe Mode - Try to open Console.app and see if
the Show Log List button will work when in Safe Mode.

The console behaviour was exactly the same in Safe Mode. (can not switch

After testing, reboot as usual (i.e. not in safe mode) and then test the

Post back the results of your test in Safe Mode and then again in normal

Hi Ronni,
Have done as you suggested.

 Hi Walter,
 
 I still feel you have some corruption on your Mavericks system (or Drive 
 failing).
 You did not mention if you 'Repaired' the Hard Drive that I mentioned in a 
 previous email. You only mentioned you had repaired permissions.
 
 I would suggest you Repair the Hard Drive following the instructions below 
 and then Reinstall Mavericks.
 
 Re-download and reinstall Mavericks.
  
 Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and 
 hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. 
 Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down 
 the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD 
 and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

My  arrow pointed upward
  
 Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from 
 the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
  
 When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select 
 your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side 
 list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status 
 of the hard drive.  If it does not say Verified then the hard drive is 
 failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB 
 drives.) 

SMART staus was verified
 
 If the drive is Verified then select your OS X volume from the list on the 
 left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then 
 click on the Repair Disk button. 
 If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until 
 no errors are reported. 
 If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until 
 the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main
Repair disk resulted in a green message:
“The Volume MacIntosh HD appears to be ok
  

Permissions repair was done, showed nothing irregular (one SUID file message)
 menu.
  
 Reinstall Mavericks: Select Reinstall Mavericks and click on the Continue 
 button.

Reinstalled M. was surprised how straight forward it was. Nearly 4hrs download 
+ 45mins installations, then the iMac restarted and all
looked normal. Then I opened Console, but nothing had changed, I can still only 
see the “All Messages List”, no side bars, can’t toggle
show log list/hide log list.
  
 Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet 
 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Console query - EyeTV exporting quits

2014-02-08 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hi Ronni,

I am giving up for now.
My Console shows the same menu bar as on your screenshot.
Under the menu bar I don’t see what is on your screenshot -there is only the 
“All Messages” screen with many lines.
There is no LH or RH column. When I hover the curser next to the button “Show” 
does not come up (only “show or hide the log list”).
When I click on this there is no response.
Have entered -36 in the search box and only half a page of messages show.

I appreciate your suggestions  but I don’t want to take up more of your time.

Thanks a lot,

Cheers,
Walter

In the View pull-down menu I can see the button “Show Log List”. I click on it 
and the console screen does not
change - the messages list is still there.

 Hi Walter,
 
 The Log List appears after you click the Show Log List Button.
 The Log List is the Left Column.
 The Right Column shows Messages of the Logs that are selected in the left

 From what you are telling us... The Show Log List button is NOT working in 
 Console on your Mac.
 Can you Show Log List when you go to View  Show Log List?
 
 You would have noticed the 'Log List' left column  'Log Messages' Right 
 Column  how to show the Log list etc from the screenshots I sent to you 
 'Offlist' yesterday.
 
 In 'String Matching' you can type EyeTV or Error -36 to get any matching

 Hi Walter,
 
 You are not seeing the 'Log List' ... not being able to activate the  'Show 
 Log List' button.
 You mentioned previously below: Elgato have asked to email screenshot of 
 info relating to error -36 (export quits).
 
 Error code -36 is input/output error.
 Caused by a hidden file .DS_Store
 It is also a sign of File corruption
 
 First thing you need do is to make sure your Disk is OK.
 
 1. Check the S.M.A.R.T status of your Drive in Disk Utility
 (The idea of S.M.A.R.T. is to detect the warning signs of potential 
 problems before they occur. 
 Although S.M.A.R.T. cannot detect every possible drive problem, it can 
 provide one very valuable warning: “Your drive is about to have problems, 
 so back it up and repair (or replace) it now!”)
 
 You should see this at the bottom of the window: S.M.A.R.T status: 
 ‘Verified’ 
 
 2. If you see “About to Fail” in red letters - Back Up the Drive 
 immediately.
 
 3. You can then use Disk Utility (or a third-party utility) to attempt to 
 “Repair” the drive, but more than not, “About to Fail” indicates an 
 imminent hardware failure that you cannot fix with software. 
 Even if Disk Utility does appear to solve the problem, don’t trust the 
 drive with important data; replace it as soon as possible.
 
 If the Drive S.M.A.R.T is 'Verified' 
 Repair Permissions on your Volume
 -
 In case you don't know how to Repair the drive, here are instructions:
 
 1. Choose Apple menu  Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen 
 appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
 When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can 
 release the keys.
 2. Click Disk Utility, then click Continue.
 3. In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair.
 4. Click First Aid.

 more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is 
 likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If 
 you can replace a file or re-create it, delete it. If it contains 
 information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t 
 been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a 
 DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
 
 * If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task 
 reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that 
 doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk

Hi Daniel,

Sorry I missed your reply yesterday.

Have just tried what you suggested, answers in situ below.

Thanks Daniel,

 Hi Walter
 
 The wide box is just a search field, so that one is fine.
 Not that it should make in difference (as the Show Log list button should do 
 the same), but it may be worth trying the following to see.
 
 From the View menu choose Show Log List and see if that changes so you see 
 the Left Hand panel with things like All Messages, Diagnostic and Usage 
 Message, User Diagnostic Reports and so on,..”  

No it does not change. Only the “All messages” page shows

 If no success there, then move the mouse to the very left hand edge of the 
 window, sort of where the line is. You'll want to see the cursor change to an 
 icon that looks like a line with a right pointing arrow. If this icon shows 
 up, then double click and it should reveal the extra options as above ( All 
 Message, Diagnostic and Usage Messages, etc). This is just incase the area 
 has been dragged out of view. (Trying to get the cursor to show can be a 
 little tricky, as it's a very thin line and you have to move it just in the 
 right place to get it to show, so sometimes you have to sort of move the 
 cursor very slowly over the point a few times to see).

I have been able to produce the small vertical line with arrow and double 
clicking on it does not change the console screen.
 
 If no success then you could try removing the console preferences.
 Quit Console. Then in Finder, hold down the Option key an go to the Go menu 
 and choose Library. Then go to the Preferences folder. 
 You should see two files, called com.apple.console.plist and 
 com.apple.console.LSSharedFileList.plst. Drag both of these to either the 
 Trash or onto the Desktop. Then open Console again and see if the Show Log 
 List button then works.

Have dragged both to trash and re-opened Console - same as before - only the 
All messages list shows.
Again tried to double click on the LH line arrow, but the All messages list 
won’t change. 
 
 As an aside, when you actually click on the Show Log List, does the button 
 change to Hide Log List and then back to Show if you click it again (i.e. 
 does it swap between the two to show that it actually thinks it's doing 
 something.
 
The show log list button does not change to hide log list  when I click on it. 
The only thing I can change on the screen
is Clear Display and on the RH bottom corner I can go to Earlier or Later or 
Now messages.


 
 And yes, normally a -36 error can be a sign the Hard Drive is on the way 
 out.

That would be disappointing considering that Apple Garden City replaced the HD 
last year as part of a recall campaign.
 
 Kind regards
 Daniel

 First thing you need do is to make sure your Disk is OK.
 
 1. Check the S.M.A.R.T status of your Drive in Disk Utility
 (The idea of S.M.A.R.T. is to detect the warning signs of potential

 You should see this at the bottom of the window: S.M.A.R.T status:

 2. If you see “About to Fail” in red letters - Back Up the Drive 
 immediately.
 
 3. You can then use Disk Utility

Hi Ronni,

My Console screen shows only a list of messages and it’s strange that I can not 
toggle between show log list/hide log list.
It can not be changed to hide the list. The text under the icon is “show log

Re: NBN

2014-01-25 Thread F.W. Hänel

Goog morning all,

And thanks for your suggestions.

The ADSL2+ in my location (over 4Kms from exchange) is never faster than 4.5 
Mbps. Downloading movies from iTunes to watch
on the big screen means planning ahead - it can take a looong time.
Changing to fibre even at 12/1 should bring an improvement, but the other 
incentive to change is the closing of the Telstra 
landline account. iiNet have assured me that the old Ph# can be rolled over to 
their system. So there should be a double
benefit, I hope. 


Cheers,
Walter

 Hi Walter
 
 Ruben’s response came through while I was drafting this.  Good caveats.  I am 
 facing similar decisions.  My understanding is that your Apple equipment will 
 handle the speeds and data quotas offered.  The switch to VoIP telephony and 
 cancelling my landline phone will make NBN economical for me.
 
 My hesitation is with the modem/phone system.  BOB2 is now old wireless 
 technology.  I  have a Time Capsule which I would use as my ethernet and WiFi 
 router, and just use BOB as the fibre modem.   BOB Lite has similar technical 
 specs (without a phone built-in) but iiNet are not pushing this option.   
 BUDii has better specs but is designed for Android accessories.   
 
 Then again, my opinion of iiNet marketing department is that their ads are 
 written by 55 year olds acting as if they are 30 and using language of 
 teenagers.  I don’t understand it.   And iiNet are not as easy to speak to as 
 once they were.   Office hours, weekdays, for NBN sales!!
 
 Be interested to hear from others going through the selection process.

Re: NBN

2014-01-25 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hi Bill,

The NBN + iiNet people recommend the additional installation of a battery 
operated power supply to cope with
power failures. I don’t see that as a problem in our location as we have 
underground power and cuts are very rare.
In that case we would use the mobile.
The Telstra landline has been in my line of fire for a long time. It is 
expensive, even for caller ID they charge $6.—
The iiNet phone component is certainly a lot cheaper. As far as reliability of 
copper wires are concerned - which is
not Telstra’s fault - we have had 3 callouts within the last 12 months because 
of severe crackling noises on the phone.
Every time Telstra tries to blame the users equipment, but each time they found 
the problem somewhere in the streets junction boxes
where obviously corrosion etc had degraded the voice quality. Another reason to 
move to fibre.

Cheers,
Walter

 If dispensing with landline phones will resolve some of the current problems 
 that are technology related then that's OK, but if it exacerbates it then 
 it's not.
 
 Example.
 My house has two handsets: one an old 20th century thing that derives it 
 electrical power from the phone system. It works in a power cut and it worked 
 during a power cut due to a bush fire. The other one died.  The internet 
 died.  And DFES talk about checking their website!  At least they have the 
 sense to recommend battery operated radios, but even there, we have about a 
 minimum fifteen minute delay between the Incident Management Teams fireground 
 info and 720 broadcasts. (I am a member of a bush fire incident management 
 team).
 
 Example.  
 The other one [phone handset] is a Telstra high tech that has one touch 
 screen and one other screen that I still do not know the function of.  It 
 does wonderful things when it works. 
 
 2 hours on the old handset to talking to Telstra a few weeks ago to resolve 
 a question of messages being received with a 24 hour delay or not at all.  
 The ultimate answer was:  Would you please switch off the [name of touch 
 screen box etc, made by SageComm].  That came back to life after powering 
 up, and at least I could see recent calls [undeletable].  I had tried reading 
 the so-called instruction manual but all it told me was rubbish about being 
 connected with Telstra.  I threw it out.  But learned something. If tapping 
 the touch screen doesn't work.  Switch off and switch on.
 
 I am considering buying an answering machine, yes, machine, that I can 
 control.
 
 As for iinet doing any better than Telstra, I doubt it very much, and it will 
 hardly be their fault.
 
 Not really an on topic rant, but   forgive me, it is my birthday!  And 
 don't throw out the baby withe the bath water.

 Goog morning all,
 
 And thanks for your suggestions.
 
 The ADSL2+ in my location (over 4Kms from exchange) is never faster than 4.5 
 Mbps. Downloading movies from iTunes to watch
 on the big screen means planning ahead - it can take a looong time.
 Changing to fibre even at 12/1 should bring an improvement, but the other 
 incentive to change is the closing of the Telstra 
 landline account. iiNet have assured me that the old Ph# can be rolled over 
 to their system. So there should be a double
 benefit, I hope.

 Hi Walter
 
 Ruben’s response came through while I was drafting this.  Good caveats.  I 
 am facing similar decisions.  My understanding is that your Apple equipment 
 will handle the speeds and data quotas offered.  The switch to VoIP 
 telephony and cancelling my landline phone will make NBN economical for me.
 
 My hesitation is with the modem/phone system.  BOB2 is now old wireless 
 technology.  I  have a Time Capsule which I would use as my ethernet and 
 WiFi router, and just use BOB as the fibre modem.   BOB Lite has similar 
 technical specs (without a phone built-in) but iiNet are not pushing this 
 option.   BUDii has better specs but is designed for Android accessories.   
 
 Then again, my opinion of iiNet marketing department is that their ads are 
 written by 55 year olds acting as if they are 30 and using language of 
 teenagers.  I don’t understand it.   And iiNet are not as easy to speak to 
 as once they were.   Office hours, weekdays, for NBN sales!!
 
 Be interested to hear from others going through the selection process.

 The 'Pie Chart' is no longer an option, especially since Mavericks has new

 Apple has switched to a new Memory Pressure approach to viewing memory

 In Language  Text there is no 24hr option and the Region setting is set to

In iTunes it shows the times in AM/PM. In the Skype call log it also uses

What is the secret of getting an all 24hr format and getting rid of AM/PM 
altogether ?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, that worked fine. It's a bit more involved, more steps to do.

Thanks again,

 Hi all,
 
 I don't seem to be able to delete one or more messages within a conversation

 I can delete the complete string (complete conversation). But that's not 
 what I want to do as it is
 sometimes important to keep a component of an incoming/outgoing message, 
 e.g. dates, numbers, etc.
 
 Did not have the problem with the previous iOS.
 
 Any ideas ?

 Hi Walter,
 
 Hmmm, well I am not sure now ;-)
 I just checked Apple's website for what iOS 7 Features are available on all 
 devices... and they do mention this:
 
 2. Square and video formats and swipe to capture are available on iPhone 4 or 
 later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th 
 generation).
 
 But if they are working on your wife's iPad 2 perhaps it has been changed in 
 the 7.0.2 update?

 I would not get rid of my Dropbox, but I can see the benefits of keeping both

 I did download 'Copy' and create an account using Daniel's referral link (so 
 I won't post my referral link as well ;-) even though more GBs would be nice).
 
 I have been giving 'Copy' a quick testing. Installed 'Copy' on my MBP and 
 installed 'Copy App' on my iPad. Placed some images 13.10MB and a video file 
 69.6MB into my 'Copy' Folder (which is created on your computer in your home 
 directory when you install the application).
 As long as the Copy application is running  you are logged in to your 
 account, the files are automatically uploaded to the cloud and are accessible 
 via Copy.com and any other computer that you have running Copy, or iPhone or 
 iPad.
 
 The files took similar time as Dropbox to upload (my ADSL1 connection is not 
 very fast..NBN hopefully will improve this). As soon as they were uploaded, I 
 opened 'Copy' App on my iPad and all files had also synced to the iPad App.
 
 The interface of the iPad App is very pleasing. 'Copy' automatically syncs 
 images into a 'Images' folder, Videos into Videos, Audio into Audio, 
 documents into documents, presentations into Presentations. 
 Like Dropbox, 'Copy' makes it easy to share files with friends, family  
 co-workers. Right-Click (Control-Click) on any file in the Copy folder to 
 copy a Web link to it.
 Whoever you send the link in an email, iMessage etc to will be able to view 
 and download the files. You can also share entire folders. When sharing files 
 or folders, you can choose the view-only option or allow people to edit and 
 synchronize the files as a way of collaborating on a project.
 
 From the research I have done I have not found any security issues or 
 negative reviews.
 As always there are Pros and Cons to both Dropbox and Copy. 
 Which ever one suits your purposes best... Or use both.

Re: WiFi direct printing, HP 5520

2013-05-31 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hello all,

The HP 5520 can be configured for wireless printing through the home network or 
wireless direct printing from an iPad or iPhone (and both at the same time) 
even if there is no wireless network to connect to. The HP ePrint app must be 
installed on the iDevice and the HP printer has to be selected on the WiFi page 
in the settings menu of the iDevice and it works completely wirelessly.
Also, during initial setup the printer can obtain its own email address and 
when connected to the net it can be used as a printer by someone
who is at a remote location - providing the printer is turned on. (One can send 
h/day snaps home directly to the printer)

The HP 5520 also has bonjour support for AirPrint from Apple devices.
It works well as I have used it for a week now.

Cheers,
Walter

 ePrint and Wireless direct printer. Have not seeen a demo yet, and it's 
 difficult to get confirmation from sales staff that it can print
 directly from iPhone/iPad to the printer. They only talk about AirPrint,  but 
 AirPrint still requires a WiFi network . But
 WiFi direct does not need any infra-structure at all. Once the HP ePrint is 
 installed on the mobile device it will make contact with the
 printer and print.I guess it's like controlling an AR drone on the footy 
 oval from the iPhone ?
 
 I'll report back once I have seen WiFi direct printing at work.
 
 Thanks for your advice,

 Hi Walter,
 
 I think we might be misinterpreting your question. I now think you are 
 referring to the new technology Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Direct.
 
 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct™ is a certification mark for devices supporting 
 a game-changing new technology enabling Wi-Fi devices to connect directly, 
 making it simple and convenient to do things like print, share, synch and 
 display. 
 
 Products bearing the Wi-Fi Direct certification mark can connect to one 
 another without joining a traditional home, office or hotspot network.
 
 
 http://www.wi-fi.org/discover-and-learn/wi-fi-direct
 
 Wi-Fi Direct:
 
 Some home wireless networks are set up in ad hoc mode by which WiFi-enabled 
 computers communicate directly with each other without the aid of a wireless 
 router. The trouble with ad hoc wireless networks is that many devices such 
 as printers, scanners, gaming consoles, set-top boxes, and smartphones, 
 although WiFi-enabled, cannot accept direct connections from other WiFi 
 devices without an access point to facilitate the communication.
 
 Wi-Fi Direct aims to change that. The technology embeds a software access 
 point into a device so that it can support direct connections. When a Wi-Fi 
 device enters the range of a Wi-Fi Direct device, it can connect to it in 
 an ad hoc, direct manner. The technology even supports WPA2 encryption for 
 secure communication.
 
 If you're adding a device to your home network, look and see if it sports a 
 WiFi Direct certification mark. That will give you a nice option to 
 directly connect to the device without a wireless router or access point.
 
 Printing with Wi-Fi Direct:
 A new technology called Wi-Fi Direct should greatly simplify the printer 
 setup process, and let you print directly from an iPhone to a Wi-Fi printer, 
 either via AirPrint or using a print app. At this point, relatively few 
 printers support Wi-Fi Direct, but we expect it to have a great impact on 
 mobile printing in the years to come.
 
 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2412775,00.asp
 
 A bit of checking and many new Epson printers can set up Wi-Fi Direct.
 Need to use the Epson iPrint app to control printing.

 Hi Walter,
 
 AirPrint Basics:
 The AirPrint-enabled printer must be connected to the same home Wi-Fi

 This is the default configuration in most home Wi-Fi networks.
 
 You also need an AirPrint-enabled printer listed in this article.   
  
 
 Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint.
 
 http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
 
 Summary
 In iOS, AirPrint-enabled applications can print to an AirPrint-enabled

printer and print.I guess it's like controlling an AR drone on the footy 
oval from the iPhone ?
 
I'll report back once I have seen WiFi direct printing at work.

Thanks for your advice,

 Hi Walter,
 
 I think we might be misinterpreting your question. I now think you are 
 referring to the new technology Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Direct.
 
 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct™ is a certification mark for devices supporting 
 a game-changing new technology enabling Wi-Fi devices to connect directly, 
 making it simple and convenient to do things like print, share, synch and 
 display. 
 
 Products bearing the Wi-Fi Direct certification mark can connect to one 
 another without joining a traditional home, office or hotspot network.
 
 
 http://www.wi-fi.org/discover-and-learn/wi-fi-direct
 
 Wi-Fi Direct:
 
 Some home wireless networks are set up in ad hoc mode by which WiFi-enabled 
 computers communicate directly with each other without the aid of a wireless 
 router. The trouble with ad hoc wireless networks is that many devices such 
 as printers, scanners, gaming consoles, set-top boxes, and smartphones, 
 although WiFi-enabled, cannot accept direct connections from other WiFi 
 devices without an access point to facilitate the communication.
 
 Wi-Fi Direct aims to change that. The technology embeds a software access 
 point into a device so that it can support direct connections. When a Wi-Fi 
 device enters the range of a Wi-Fi Direct device, it can connect to it in 
 an ad hoc, direct manner. The technology even supports WPA2 encryption for 
 secure communication.
 
 If you're adding a device to your home network, look and see if it sports a 
 WiFi Direct certification mark. That will give you a nice option to 
 directly connect to the device without a wireless router or access point.
 
 Printing with Wi-Fi Direct:
 A new technology called Wi-Fi Direct should greatly simplify the printer 
 setup process, and let you print directly from an iPhone to a Wi-Fi printer, 
 either via AirPrint or using a print app. At this point, relatively few 
 printers support Wi-Fi Direct, but we expect it to have a great impact on 
 mobile printing in the years to come.
 
 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2412775,00.asp
 
 A bit of checking and many new Epson printers can set up Wi-Fi Direct.
 Need to use the Epson iPrint app to control printing.

 Hi Walter,
 
 AirPrint Basics:
 The AirPrint-enabled printer must be connected to the same home Wi-Fi 
 network as the iOS device. 
 This is the default configuration in most home Wi-Fi networks.
 
 You also need an AirPrint-enabled printer listed in this article.
 
 
 Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint.
 
 http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
 
 Summary
 In iOS, AirPrint-enabled applications can print to an AirPrint-enabled 
 printer—and you don't need to install a driver or configure the printer 
 queue. Tap print, select a AirPrint-enabled printer, and print. It's that 
 simple.

 Well - WiFi is by definition, a wireless network, so if there's no network 
 available WiFi printing is impossible. That being said, if you can set you 
 iPhone or iPad to be a WiFi hotspot, you might be able to get a printer to 
 join that network, in which case printing jus might work. I don't know, I 
 never tried it.
 
 The only printers that I know of for sure that support Airprint out of the

 list may have more information.

iTunes MP3

Hi all,

Have tried to convert some songs within iTunes 11.0.2 from AAC into MP3 so they 
can be added to a USB stick to be played 
in the car radio which only accepts MP3.
The conversion was done but where are the new files now ? How do I find them to 
add them to the dongle ? The songs in the
playlist are still listed as AAC.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Walter

First thing, is to double check that your iMac falls into the replacement
program. If you check on that site, some may not actually need it.

Second thing, is yes, ensure you have a good backup. I would recommend a
Time Machine backup of some sort, and a second back up as well. SuperDuper
or CarbonCopyCloner are both great for this.
SuperDuper - http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13803/superduper!
Carbon Copy Cloner -
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7032/carbon-copy-cloner
Once you have good backups of everything, then you're ready for it to go.

Thirdly - I would check with the people you are getting the work done. Some
places will have a wait time from when you drop the computer off to when it
is ready. Most places (or all) aren't doing it on the spot, as they have a
procedure they have to follow from Apple from when the machine is booked
in, a special test run over it, the Drive ordered from Apple, then shipped,
then fitted. Then ready to go. And if lots of people are all dropping them
in, then there's going to be a lot of them booked in. ( I know one store
had over 45 calls and emails the first few hours that email went out! And I
got about 15 emails/calls myself within the first few hours also.).

Fourthly, I would check what the place you are dropping it to do. Some
places will just swap out the drive, give you a clean OS Install, so it's
ready to Time Machine back in when you get it home. Some may just give you
a blank clean drive for you to do all the work. Some may do a full clone
and get everything back for you as you dropped it off. Again, it may vary
depending on the place you take it to and their workload. (I'm guessing on
the full clone, so I may be way off there, as I don't work for at a
service/repair centre).

It's going to be a fairly big undertaking for a lot of places I would
think, so hopefully it will go nicely for everyone. :o)

Hope that helps.

 Ok, a couple of things to fix here.  The Ethernet has a self-assigned 
 IP address issue and the computer Name and hostname.
 
 It might be best if you disconnect your iMac from both Networks until 
 you do the steps below please.
 So turn OFF WiFi and disconnect your iMac from the Ethernet port on the 
 Modem. 
 You are now NOT connected to any Network.
 
 A) Change the Name of your Computer:
 1.  Go to System Preferences/Sharing/Edit
 2. Computer Name: iMac Intel- Delete the number  (x) 
 3. Check that it has saved and is showing the Local Hostname as  
 iMac-intel.local
 
 B) The Ethernet has a self-assigned IP Address:
 1.  Go to the /Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ folder and remove the 
 file called com.apple.alf.plist. 
 
 NOTE: (When I ask you to Reboot and login after doing this you may see a 
 few warnings about applications requesting to allow incoming 
 connections, but once these are set up then your system should be back 
 to normal again.)
 
 C) Connect the Ethernet cable to your Modem.
 1. Reboot your computer and login
 2. Connect to your Ethernet Network
 
 You might need to restart your Modem as well for the changes to take 
 effect.
 
 Let me know if you can connect without any problems to the Ethernet 
 Network and the iMac computer name is sticking please.

 Hi Walter,
 
 It is good to hear you are connection instantly as you should to your

 I did mean to ask you to check after you deleted the two plist files, in 
 System Preferences  Security that your Firewall is ON. Often after trashing 
 those plist that Firewall is turned 'off', so just check the this please.

 Hi Ronni and Daniel,
 
 The iMac's ethernet connection has been very stable since I tried a 
 different router port,
 (changing the e/net cable made no difference).  Have now observed it since 
 yesterday. I
 immediately get the green connected light after starting or restarting. Even 
 after long
 periods of sleeptime the button is green immediately. Trashing the plist 
 file and swapping
 router ports has made a huge difference.
 
 Thanks again Ronni and Daniel,

 Hi Walter
 
 Have you tried a different Ethernet cable and/or a different port on the 
 Modem/Router?
 Could be one or both have an issue.
 Worth trying another cable and then another Ethernet port on the Modem.
 That way you can rule those out as well.

 So turn OFF WiFi and disconnect your iMac from the Ethernet port on

 You are now NOT connected to any Network.
 
 A) Change the Name of your Computer:
 1.  Go to System Preferences/Sharing/Edit

 have WiFi turned on as well - as that is connecting very fast. (when E/net

 Another older iMac G4 has no problems and is currently online via 
 Built-in-Ethernet (and the iiNet modem/router).
 I am just briefly turning WiFi on again to send this email, then I'll turn 
 it off and wait for E/net to connect.
 No, I won't have to, E/net has just come online. It would be nice to have

 Ethernet and Wifi have 2 different IP addresses.
 
 You can't have the iMac connected to both an Ethernet  Wi-Fi Network at

 Just drag an image of your choice to the Shade icon in the Menu Bar. This 
 effectively replaces the default background of Shade, so if you want to 
 preserve the default image:
 
 1. look for Shade in your Applications folder. 
 
 2. Right-click on the Shade icon. Choose Show Package Contents.
 
 3. Open the Resources folder. Click on the file Grass Blades.jpg and 
 press Cmd-C or choose Copy from the Edit menu. Choose a convenient location 
 such as your Picture folder (or your Desktop if you want to be ironic) and 
 Paste (Cmd-V).
 
 4. Close the current window.
 
 Note: this image remains in the Resources folder even after you change the 
 background image first up, so you're really just making a backup.

 Hi Walter,
 
 The best anti virus for your MAC is your MAC OS.
 There are no known viruses for MAC.  Trojans and malware are not viruses.
 Follow the safe browsing rules so you won't have to worry about viruses, 
 trojans and malware.
 
 All real-time antivirus products slow down your computer, that is the nature 
 of the game. 
 So Sophos will slow down your computer.
 Norton software tends to always be bloated and not really that great to begin 
 with, so I would leave iAntiVirus alone.
 
 If you feel you require Antivirus program on your Mac ClamXav 2.3.2 is highly 
 recommended and Free. 
 But DON'T download the App Store version, download from this link.
 http://www.clamxav.com/download.php#
 
 What are the differences between the version of ClamXav available to download 
 here and the version on the Mac App Store?
 
   • The App Store version doesn't contain ClamXav Sentry, so it is not 
 able to watch your computer for new files and scan them as they arrive.
   • There is no engine installation phase as the App Store requirements 
 stipulate that everything must be self-contained within the app.
   • Virus definition updates are downloaded on a per-user basis.
   • Updates to the ClamXav app itself are taken care of via the Mac App 
 Store.
   • Mac OS X 10.6 or greater is required.
   
 So to answer your Question:
 Are they worth having and will they work with my iMac running 10.6.8 ?
 
 It is your choice really, if having virus protection on your Mac is going to 
 make you feel safer (more protected) go ahead.
 Personally I don't feel they are worth having.
 
 And Yes, they will run on your iMac running 10.6.8, just make sure you 
 download the version compatible with OS X 10.6.8

 Ronni

Re: MYOB datafile question

2012-04-30 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hi Alex,

That's interesting. 
Perhaps I should suggest to the accountant to obtain that 
Partner edition V11.

Thanks for you info.

Cheers,  Walter

 Hi Walter
 
 The latest version of AccountEdge, v11, is not compatible with any  
 Windows version of MYOB AccountRight.  The cross platform  
 compatibility ended with AE v9.x / AR v19.x.
 
 However, MYOB have provided a Windows programme, AccountEdge Partner  
 Edition v11, for their partners, ie accountants  consultants, which  
 allows them to access their clients' Mac data files if they do not  
 have a Mac themselves.

 Definitely worth the initial outlay - in that way you are compatible

 Hi Walter,
 
 Not sure if I can be of any use, but I use MYOB 9.6 for Mac and
 when I
 pass on to the accountant who uses PC,
 I give him a copy of the zipped version..  The accountant always  
 uses
 the up to date copy of MYOB for PC and
 has no hassles opening, changing and then returning to me in the
 zipped format.  I then open it which includes
 the changes he may have made and I just carry on as usual.
 
 If someone gives me say MYOB PC Version 17 and I open it in my  
 latest
 MYOB 9.6, it will update the file to the 9.6
 version and when I return it to them, they won't be able to open it
 as
 they have an old version 17 of MYOB and not
 the latest.
 
 I was told that Mac MYOB 9 will open PC Version 19 without updating,
 (as this is the latest version on both Mac  PC)
 Mac Vers 8 will open PC Version 18 without updating and so on.  So  
 in
 other words, if you give the accountant MYOB
 Version 7, ask him to work on it with his version PC 17.
 
 I don't have any problems with the few accountants (from different
 companies) I work with.
 
 I hope that all makes sense ?

 My accountant told me I had to have Windows for MYOB so I ran it

 I now understand that if you send your accountant the data off
 your
 Mac it should be read by their copy of MYOB.

MYOB datafile question

Hi all,

Can a MYOB datafile (Account Edge version 7) created on 10.4.11 be easily 
converted
to Windows so the accountant can work with it ? (only once at the end of

Re: Escaping from hung EyeTV edit

Hi David,

This is useful info for me. I'll archive it as a 
permanent EyeTV user.

Cheers,

Safari problem

2012-03-31 Thread F.W. Hänel

Hello group,

A friend has a problem with Safari. The pictures that are often included in
a newspaper article are not shown anymore - only white square boxes - but
the article itself comes up.

She uses OS 10.6.8 and  Safari 5.1.5 in an iMac .

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Walter
