   Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,
   Our next Users Group Meeting will be this coming Tuesday, 4 October,
   via Zoom.

   As mentioned in a post on the list on 5 September, the committee often
   needs help to come up with topics for our meetings, which is certainly
   the case this time.
   So …… we are asking our members two things.
   1   Any suggestions from you regarding discussion ideas or topics?
   They do not have to be groundbreaking or complicated. Often a question
   develops into a discussion and learning for us all.
   2   If you have learnt something new or have an app, are you
   willing to share this with others? No great expertise is necessary; ask
   those who have seen some of my demos.
Meeting details will come out shortly.
   Users Group Meeting
   Cheers,
   Maureen Smith

Hi All

Just a follow up on this -

The committee agree that we’d rather not go to Facebook for a list, so we’re 
all happy to keep it with the current software that runs it. It also has “real 
people” at the end of an email to support it if something does go wrong.

And from my own personal experience trying to help clients with Facebook 
issues,….trying to “actually” get to a real person (or even a real email 
address) to reply for help is very very tricky. I’ve had a few times we’ve 
needed to get something resolved and it was just an absolute nightmare. (In one 
case over a 3 month period emailing various “support” email addresses never 
even got a reply. And that was at least 1 or 2 emails a week over a 3 month 
period (to different email addresses - as even trying to find some form of 
support contact for them is a nightmare). Everything wanted to be “automated” 
and done from your account - which in this clients case was compromised and so 
we couldn’t use it to get help. Created a new account to use to try contact 
them, but after all that time - no success. I avoid Facebook myself as much as 
possible!

Facebook might be ok for some things,…but we’d rather avoid it if we can.
Working through a few hiccups just to make sure we have all the correct info 
before doing the change over. So far, most of it going well. But want to get 
all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed before making the final announcement before 
the move. So as to make a smooth transition.

Will keep you posted with more info as we have it.

Thanks again.
Kind regards
Daniel

From my viewpoint that is an alarming suggestion.
Should happen that WAMUG moved to FaceBook it would end my ≈ 3 decade

I’m not all supportive of your suggestion.

Hi All

We’ve recently been advised that unfortunately our current host is no longer 
able to support where the WAMUG list has been sitting in Perth for many years. 
As time’s gone by, it’s now the only list sitting on a very old server and is 
due to be “decommissioned”.
Because of this, we are having to look to move it. The new space it will 
sitting in is still hosted in Australia.

The good news is that there is still somewhere we can move it to that uses the 
same type of software it’s run on. Which in theory should mean there is no 
change to how the list will work. It will be “just like normal” for day to day 
things.
The bad news is, it will cost us a little extra each year to run it. However, 
the membership cost will easily cover this. So doesn’t mean an increase in 
costs to all. So I guess that’s “good bad” news. :)

We discussed this within the committee and all are happy to look at the move.
In theory there shouldn’t be any disruption to the list in the transition 
period and I’ll let people know before and after it’s  been completed. 
Hopefully, it should also mean that there are more current updates installed to 
the backend of what runs the list - so that’s good news as well.

There’s a little bit of work to get it all organised. But hopefully as 
mentioned, it shouldn’t affect the running of the list.
Though when it’s down, if you do post you may not see your message arrive. But 
I’ll certainly let everyone know by a mailing post before it gets transferred 
and after it’s completed.

Hopefully this will ensure the list can continue running for many more years to 
come!

Thanks in advance for your understanding with this.
If anyone has any queries or concerns, please feel free to post them to the 
list and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Thanks!

Hello Fellow Wamuggers,

Our next member's meeting will take place this Tuesday August 4th. We will be 
attempting our first hybrid meeting. i.e. Combining a face to face meeting with 
Zoom


At this point, behalf of the committee, I want to say thank-you the intrepid 
Wamuggers who helped the committee explore the intricacies of Zoom and who 
showed patience and fortitude when things didn’t go too well, including screen 
freezes and boot-outs. The committee has purchased a license which should 
eliminate boot-outs and timing problems but does not take into account that 
omnipresent factor -‘Human Error.‘  As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “By 
seeking and blundering we learn.”

This month’s meeting will open at 7:30pm for a 7:40pm start. During the first 
half hour we will be looking at the new bits & pieces associated with the 
recent upgrades to Pages, Keynote & possibly Numbers. After that we will take 
any questions on topics or problems you might have. If you only want to stay 
for the presentation that’s OK. I know some of you are logging in from another 
time zone.

If you want to participate please indicate via the list and you will be sent 
your Meeting ID and Code.


Cheers,

Maureen Smith

Hello Fellow WAMUGgers,



Apologies for the late notice. (You just can't get good staff these days. Hee 
Hee)  Our WAMUG Zoom meeting will take place this Tuesday at 7:30 pm. The first 
half hour is a presentation, followed by general questions.



This month Peter Hinchcliffe will present Art Text 4.  This software allows you 
to create sophisticated text effects and typography graphics for a variety of 
media. Just might be the thing to take your presentations and projects to the 
next level.



Art Text 4 is available on the App Store. Incidentally, the paid version is 
currently on offer at 30% discount until July 9. It is not often you get to see 
software in action before you decide if it is for you.



If you would like to join please indicate via the list and you will be 
individually emailed the login details.

This Tuesday, 2 June is the anniversary of the explorers, John and Alexander 
Forrest, discovering Weld Springs, an oasis of clear, fresh water in central 
Western Australia. Like the Forrest brothers who searched for new routes 
through the outback so your WAMUG committee is seeking a better way to bring

This month’s general meeting will again be held via Zoom. We will start at 
7:30pm and run for 30 minutes.  A  Q will take place afterwards for those who 
may have questions.



In this meeting, all going well, we will be looking at Scannable, a scanning 
app for iphone & ipad and some uses for Apples’s Notes. This is a share & learn 
meeting, so if you also have a great scanning app or use Notes for something  - 
well other than recording notes - we would love you to join in the meeting and

Not receiving original WAMUG emails

[Graham Rabe]

For some time now I’ve not been receiving the first (original) message from the 
group. If there is a follow-up response, I get that email with the original 
email below. For example, I never received the first email regarding the zoom 
trial – I only saw it when there was a response to that.

I’ve been a paid up member of WAMUG for many years and have paid my subs for 
this year.

If anyone at HQ (or anyone else) could sort this problem out for me, I’d 
appreciate it.

I’m also happy to volunteer for the zoom trial.

Battery care - Macbook Air

[Graham Rabe]

Hello WAMUGers,

What is best practice when it comes to charging Apple laptops? When at home, 
should I just leave the charger plugged in all the time or would that not be a 
good idea? I remember Ronni’s tips about charging the phones (keep level 
between 40% and 80% - and regular charges to that end better than getting too 
low and then ramping up to 100%). For example - is leaving the charger plugged 
in on the laptop for 3 or 4 days a no-no?

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Attached USB devices not shown in Finder

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

Yes - all those are there - but the problem is that sometimes when some USB 
devices are actually connected, they are not shown under Devices in the Finder 
sidebar nor are any of those items ever on the Desktop - never have been. 

In Finder Preferences > General, there is another item below that headed “New 
Finder windows show” and then I can choose one from the following:  My home 
name, Desktop, Documents and iCloud Drive. Set as a default there is 
“Documents”. What should I have in there?

If the problem persists I will in future try using the Disk Utility method.

Thanks for your help Ronni.

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Attached USB devices not shown in Finder

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

Firstly - all the best to you for 2018.

In Finder Preferences all boxes are ticked except the iMac itself but there is 
no “Desktop” under Devices. Desktop appears under Favorites. 

None of the Devices shown in Sidebar are ever on the Desktop so I can’t use the 
Desktop method (Command-E)

So the bottom line is that unless the device is shown under “Devices” in the 
Sidebar, I have no way of safely ejecting the device (assuming it is not there 
but is plugged into the USB port) if I need to to use the USB port for some 
other device. 

Cheers,

Graham

Attached USB devices not shown in Finder

[Graham Rabe]

When I attach a USB thumb drive or WD hard drive or Garmin device to my iMac 
they show up in the usual place in Finder - under “Devices”.

But lately when I go to remove the device in Finder after a day or two, the 
device is no longer shown there. When I detach the device from the USB port, I 
get the message that I have not ejected the device properly. 

But it is nowhere to be seen in Finder when trying to eject it properly.

Any ideas about what may be causing the problem and how to resolve it?

Thanks,

The problem has not re-ocurred so I’ll leave it for the time being.

Re: Attachments to incoming mail in Mail not able to be opened second time

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni,

There are now no check-mark and lock items at the top of the message but I 
cannot say whether they were initially there prior to me clicking on the 
attachments.

I have asked the sender to send the email to me again with the attachments to 
see whether there is anything there that could help us work out what’s going on.

I hope to get back to you shortly - am awaiting their response. 

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Attachments to incoming mail in Mail not able to be opened second time

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni - I was hoping you’d come on board.

Maybe if I’d “Saved the Attachments” when right clicking on them when the icon 
first appeared that would have solved the problem as they would have been saved 
to my hard drive. But I can’t do that now - there’s nothing I can do with the 


The files are pdf ones.

Yes, the email I’m referring to was from a Windows machine, but most of the 
emails I receive with attachments are from Windows machines and this only 
happens with some of them. 

I’ve searched the web many times over the past few days but don’t see any 
reference to the problem. 

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Attachments to incoming mail in Mail not able to be opened second time

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Rob,

I’m using Apple Mail.

A restart does not solve the problem. 

The email attachments appear on all devices as shown i.e. iPhone, desktop, 
laptop and iPad.

Attachments to incoming mail in Mail not able to be opened second time

[Graham Rabe]

When receiving an email with an attachment - from only some senders  - I can 
initially open the attachment. But when I go back to the email a second time to 
open the attachment, the attachment is now a file name in blue between brackets 
. 

Clicking on that does nothing at all. 

How can I re-open the attachment?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, 

Graham Rabe

Re: Membership Renewal

[Graham Rabe]

I have paid $30 membership fee per year for 3 years and have never had any 
acknowledgment of receipt. Maybe this email will prompt some response or at 
least a receipt for the current year’s membership.

Re: Correct spelling automatically - not working after today's upgrade to 10.12.2

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

Thanks for getting back to me. 

'Text replacement' was enabled in the 3 offending apps - Mail, Notes and 
Evernote.

But the problem was resolved by deleting an existing entry and then re-entering 
it. I did that once and that triggered all the other autocorrects to respond as 
normal.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Correct spelling automatically - not working after today's upgrade to 10.12.2

[Graham Rabe]

Thanks Peter. The problem I had - and its now been resolved - was only with 
apps like Notes and Evernote and Mail. Word for Mac was not affected. 

The problem was resolved by deleting an existing entry and then re-entering it. 
I did that once and that triggered all the other autocorrects to respond as 
normal.

Thanks for your response. 

Cheers,

Correct spelling automatically - not working after today's upgrade to 10.12.2

[Graham Rabe]

I have thousands of shortcuts on my system for words. “au” for example for 
Australia.

I’ve made them over the years by going to system preferences/keyboard/text and 
added them there.

After the upgrade today, none of them work.

They are all still there in the list, and the box for the spelling to be 
corrected automatically is ticked.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Graham Rabe

Re: macOS Sierra - iCloud - "Documents" folder on hard drive

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni,

The answers to your 3 questions are:
A) - Yes - they were uploaded automatically without me doing anything after 
upgrading to Sierra. When I looked for the 2 folders (Documents and Desktop) in 
the usual way (under Favorites in the Sidebar) for the first time after 
upgrading, they were not there - they were now under iCloud in the Sidebar. The 
3 folders under iCloud are now fir the first time ever iCloud Drive, Desktop 
and Documents. Prior to the upgrade, Documents and Desktop were in the Sidebar 
under Favourites. I repeat, it was when I tried to find a document for the 
first time after upgrading that I saw those folders were no longer under 
Favorites. It was also then that I noticed the little circle in iCloud 
downloading stuff. 
B) - No - I never went near System Preferences > iCloud to tick that box. The 
box is however ticked but I certainly never ticked it nor was I ever asked 
after upgrading to do anything of that sort. 
C) You are correct - I do not want to use iCloud Drive.

The only reason I’m using iCloud Drive is because that’s where my documents 
were installed against my will without me doing anything other than upgrading 
to Sierra. 

All my documents have been uploaded to iCloud Drive. That happened over a day 
or so - again without me initiating that process. I was reluctant to try and 
stop that process in case by doing so I lost some or all of my data.

I want to get back to the situation where all my documents are in a folder 
called Documents under Favorites in the Sidebar and I have now engaged Daniel 
to do that. You will see from my response to his posting on this thread that I 
was unable to do either of the things he suggested I do. 

I appreciated you trying to help Ronni.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Graham

Re: macOS Sierra - iCloud - "Documents" folder on hard drive

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that.

Neither method you’ve referred to works. Documents and Desktop folders are 
nowhere to be seen under first method and the only reference to those folders 
in the Sidebar using the second method is under the iCloud section.

Re: macOS Sierra - iCloud - "Documents" folder on hard drive

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni,

Thanks for getting back to me. 

I no longer have folders under Favorites in Finder called “Desktop" and 
“Documents” and have been unable to find anything on web about how to put 2 new 
folders there. Can you help?

Another thing - when I open a Word file I’m working on in iCloud Drive, it 
opens up fine but when I right click on the file name at the top of the screen, 
it shows its location still as if no change to iCloud has occurred i.e. under 
my  previous User “Documents” folder in Favorites. There is no reference to 
iCloud Drive (where I have to go to open it in Finder).

Weird.

Hi ronni,

Looking at this link 
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7680027?start=0=0 
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7680027?start=0=0> makes me think 
that my problem is not so easily resolved by unticking the Desktop and

By the way - I never even ticked the Desktop and Documents box under iCloud at 
any time - that was how things were after installing Sierra.

Re: macOS Sierra - iCloud - "Documents" folder on hard drive

[Graham Rabe]

Thanks for that Ronni.

If I go to iCloud in System Preferences and untick iCloud Drive, the message is 
“If you continue, documents on your Desktop and in your Documents folder will 
be visible in iCloud Drive only”. 

That is exactly what I do not want. 

I just want to be where I was before Sierra - where my Documents folder is in 
Finder under Favorites and not under iCloud section. 

I’ve assumed that the only place you can turn iCloud Drive on or off is under 
System Preferences - iCloud.  And then I get the message referred to above.

I’d appreciate any further assistance you could give me.

Thanks,

macOS Sierra - iCloud - "Documents" folder on hard drive

[Graham Rabe]

I’ve upgraded to Sierra and all of my data in my previous “Documents” folder 
previously on my hard drive (in Finder under Documents”) is now only available 
in iCloud (where there is now a “Documents” folder). There is no longer a 
“Documents” folder listed anywhere on my hard drive. 

I’ve gone to System Preferences - iCloud and see that I can change that 
scenario (under Options). 

What I can’t figure out is that at the bottom of that Options box it states 
that “The full contents of iCloud Drive will be stored on this Mac if you have 
enough space. Older documents will be stored only in iCloud when space is 
needed.”

I have more than enough space on my hard drive. 

In the Finder menu, when I select  “Go” for “Documents” - it shows the 
documents in the iCloud section. 

My question is: where in Finder do I find all of my documents on my hard drive? 
Where are they “stored”?

Any views/recommendations about allowing all documents to be stored only on 
iCloud under this new regime would be appreciated. What and the hell happens 
when iCloud bombs out/is hacked etc etc? And if I use this iCloud method of 
saving all my data previously stored on the hard drive under the “Documents” 
folder, what work is my local Time Machine able to do by way of backing up 
(and/or other external drives that I use for backup backups for that matter). 

Thanks,

Graham Rabe

Kaye and Peter - thanks for getting back to me with your responses to my query. 

Peter, I use Apple Mail as an email client and backup with Time Machine -

Thanks again to both of you.

Chronosync

[Graham Rabe]

Hi All,

I read about a program called Chronosync recently which claims to synchronize, 
backup, and create bootable backups to almost anything you can connect to your 
Mac: external drives, NAS drives, other Macs, PC's or anything else you can 
mount as a volume. Even sync to iPads and iPhones. 

Has anyone used this program and if so would you recommend it? Seemless and 
regular syncing my iMac with my laptop would be great. 

Another matter - I regularly back up to an external drive but am wondering what 
my restored Mail from that backup would look like if I had to do a restore for 
whatever reason. Would all my folders be restored exactly as they are now? If 
not, are there any recommendations for a program that would achieve that in the 
event of having to do a full restore. Maybe Chronosync does? 

Thanks and cheers, 

Graham

Re: Malwarebytes, anti-malware for Mac

[Graham Rabe]

A week or two ago Peter Marks on ABC Breakfast with Fran Kelly advised against 
installing any Apple virus protection software given that recent security 
upgrades have made them largely redundant and they seem to cause more problems 
than they claim to fix.

 Hi again Graham,
 
 On again reading your original post to the list, you are able to send mail 
 from the iMac, it just has a longer delay in sending.
 1. Check in System Preferences  Network - select the interface that's 
 currently providing your Internet access (usually Wi-Fi or Built-in Ethernet)
 2. Click Advanced and then click DNS 
 Do you have under DNS Servers: 203.0.178.191 and 203.215.29.191?
 3. If not click the 'plus' [+] button, type 203.0.178.191 and press Return, 
 then repeat this step using the address 203.215.29.191. then click OK
 4. Click Apply, and then close System Preferences
 5. To verify that the new DNS servers are working, visit any website in your 
 browser.
 
 If DNS delays were causing the sending problem, sending mail should go much 
 faster now.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Delays in sending mail

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni,

That shows an issue for sure. On the iMac (the machine that has the delays when 
sending emails) the SMTP account connection shows as “failed”. The account name 
is “iinet.net.au http://iinet.net.au/”  On my Macbook Air (where there is no 
delay when sending emails) the SMTP account shows that the connection 
succeeded. That account name is “mail.iinet.au:gr…”

Changing the account name on the iMac to that of the MBAir will probably solve 
the problem, but how can I find out what the full name of the account is on the 
MB Air and change it on the iMac to that name?

Thanks Ronni.

Cheers,

Graham

Re: What the heck ?

[Graham Rabe]

I couldn¹t agree more Peter.

It¹s called a ³watch² because of its convenient location on our wrist. It
could ­ and probably will ­ be called something different before too long
when the full range of it¹s capabilities become understood. The convenience
of being able to conduct financial transactions with the flick of a wrist
rather than with a fumbling of the pocket or handbag, the convenience of
having critical medical data accurately recorded by the ³watch² and
available for a bluetooth download onto your  GP¹s or specialist¹s computer
on your next visit, etc etc. Imagine what apps like Evernote or Strava will
be doing with the data beamed from the ³watch².

Maybe it¹s called a ³watch² by Apple as in them telling us to ³watch² this
space.

 Hi folks,
 
 I am perplexed about the use of the Apple Watch.
 Why would I wear a watch that needs the battery charged every couple of days.
 My Tissot is 15 years old and has had two battery changes.
 
 And other than acting as a repeater station for my iPhone it does not seem
 able to do much else !
 
 I agree that it looks great but REALLY !!
 

Šand the battery in my Citizen EcoDrive watch has never needed changing
because it¹s powered by the sun, but that¹s not the point. All it does is
tell me the time. It also purports to tell me the date, but the tiny display
is far too small for me to read with glasses so it¹s useless. My iPhone also
tells me the time, but I hardly ever use it for that, although I do
occasionally use it to make and receive phone calls. More commonly it¹s
increasingly a communication device of a different type, either text or
pictures and sometimes movies, or it¹s a handy waiting room distraction, a
weather station, a road map and so much more, things I could never have
imagined before having it.

The same thing will happen with the Apple Watch. I can¹t really justify the
cost of one at the moment, simply because I can¹t imagine how I¹ would use
it. the only thing I¹m sure if is that one day I will see a need for one.

Let¹s face it, the Android side hasn¹t had a great track record so far with
their attempts in the genre, so it will be very interesting to see if Apple
can truly show the way, as they have so often before. As usual, I¹ll
probably wait until at least version 2.

Re: Recommended video converter apps - mov to mp4

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni,

I might have to tell Tim Cook about you.

Thanks very much for doing that.

Yes, please send me your Quicktime Player 10 document offline.

Cheers,

Graham

 Hi Ronni,
 
 Hi Graham,
 
 My only explanation for doing what I did with the trimmed video is: google 
 told me so :) 
 
 A QT trimmed mp4 file is saved in QT as a .mov file and looking on the web 
 -even today - there are workarounds to get that .mov file back to mp4 but 
 they all seem to require a converter of some sort. That’s when I sought 
 WAMUG’s help.
 
 No need to as my experiment below will hopefully explain.
 
 But as things turned out, uploading the .mov file to You Tube was not 
 problem at all. 
 
 I’ve a feeling that there’s a fundamental problem with what I did with QT 
 though and I suspect it’s going to be Ronni and not Google that’s going to 
 put me on the straight and narrow. 
 
 Graham, No fundamental problem... but I hope I can put you on the straight 
 and narrow  ;-)) 
 
 As I have never used Quicktime Player 10 for Editing, Trimming or Converting 
 video, as I use Toast Titanium and Quicktime Player 7 PRO.
 Even though I DIDN'T really have the time :(( ... perhaps I should do an 
 experiment to see what  why people have mentioned that QT 10 changes a MP4 
 Format  Resolution.
 
 My Experiment follows -
 
 Quicktime 10 Experiment on MP4 video - Trim then Export and Maintain Original 
 Format  Resolution
 
 The original .mp4 Video File used in my experiment details are:
 Kind: MPEG-4 Movie
 Size: 45.8MB
 Dimensions:   1280 x 720
 Codecs:   H.264, AAC
 Duration: 01:56
 Audio Channels:  2
 
 I first duplicated the original MP4 video file and carried out the experiment 
 on the duplicated copy.
 
 1. Open the MP4 video in Quicktime 10
 2. Edit  Trim
  click  drag the bars at each end to select the part of the video I want 
 to keep
 3. Click Trim 
 4. Then File  Export
 5. Chose 720p From the Export Menu - because (720p:  MPEG video 7.5 Mbit/s 
 H.264, up to 1280 x 720 resolution) which is the same details as my original 
 video file
 NOTE:  QT 10 on export does add the .mov extension
 
 6. After completion of Export, I checked the details of the Exported / 
 trimmed .mov video file against my original .mp4 video file details
 File  Get Info (Command-I)
 
 The QT 10 Trim - Exported .mov Video File details are:
 Kind:  Quicktime movie
 Size:  45.8MB (notice the size remains the same even though 
 the movie is a bit shorter)
 Dimensions:1280 x 720
 Codecs:H.264, AAC
 Duration: 01:54  (yep, I only shortened the original by 0:02 ;-)
 
 Conclusion: 
 Even though Quicktime 10 Trim - exported with a .mov extension the actual 
 video file is a MPEG-4 Movie with the same dimensions and codecs as the 
 original video file.
 
 Graham, I have done a one page document Quicktime Player 10 - Export Movies 
 to other Formats  Resolutions in Pages and exported as a PDF.
 It explains - Export a movie for specific iOS devices, Apple TVs, 
 resolutions, or bit rates. 
 File  Export, then choose an option from the Export menu.
 The menu shows the maximum possible resolutions and data rates available for 
 your movie. The exact resolution and data rates of an exported movie depend 
 on the original movie. etc...
 
 If you feel the document would be helpful to you, I could send it to you 
 Offlist. Post back to the WAMUG list if you want the PDF.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Recommended video converter apps - mov to mp4

[Graham Rabe]

I’ve used Handbrake to convert avi. file to mp4 format and then used Quicktime 
to trim mp4 video clip but now I need to upload that mov. file to You Tube and 
need a conversion program (I think). 

Any recommendations for easy to use, safe and reasonably priced (or preferably 
free) software?

I’ll be using the software on iMac and MB air - all with latest Yosemite.

Thanks,

Graham

Re: Recommended video converter apps - mov to mp4

[Graham Rabe]

Thanks a lot Ronni. 

I thought I had to get the .mov file back to MP4 format before uploading to You 
Tube and didn't know how to do that without a converter of some sort. 

Anyway, I followed your instructions and the .mov files uploaded fine to You 
Tube. 

But while I've got you, is there a converter app that you would recommend?

Thanks again.

Cheers, Graham

 Hi Graham,

 3. Before you start uploading the video you can chose the video privacy 
 settings.
 4. Select the video you’d like to upload from your computer. 
 You can also record a video from your webcam, create a video slideshow or 
 import a video from Google+.
 5. As the video is uploading you can edit both the basic information and the 
 advanced settings of the video, and decide if you want to notify subscribers 
 (if you untick this option no communication will be shared with your 
 subscribers). 
 Partners will also be able to adjust their Monetisation settings.
 6. Click Publish to finish uploading a public video to YouTube. 
 If you set the video privacy setting to Private or Unlisted, just click Done 
 to finish the upload or click Share to privately share your video.
 7. If you haven’t clicked Publish, your video won’t be viewable by other 
 people. You can always publish your video at a later time in your Video

 8. Once the upload is completed we will send you an email to notify you that 
 your video is done uploading and processing. You can then forward that email 
 to friends or family for easy sharing.

 You're welcome Graham,
 
 I thought I had to get the .mov file back to MP4 format before uploading to

 I understood from you original post that you had converted the .avi video to 
 MP4, then used QuickTime to just trim the MP4 video file? 
 Then you wanted advice - how to upload the MP4 video file to YouTube...?
 Why did you re-convert (or export, or save) the edited MP4 to .mov format?
 
 Anyway, I followed your instructions and the .mov files uploaded fine to You

 But while I've got you, is there a converter app that you would recommend?
 
 I've always used and recommended all versions of Toast Titanium. 
 Capture - Copy - Convert - Share - Burn
 Roxio have very reasonable 'Upgrade price' when a new version is released.
 The current version is Toast Titanium 12.

Re: Airdrop not working between MB Air and iMac after Yosemite

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni

Sorry about the attachment - I’m living and still learning. 

On the iMac - in the Allow me to be discovered by” menu I have “Everyone” 
selected. 

As I’ve said - I do not have the Allow me to be discovered by” menu on the 
MBA. What I have at the bottom of the Airport screen on the MBA is  “Airdrop 
lets you share instantly with people nearby. To share with someone using a Mac, 
ask them to go to Airdrop in the Finder”. 

The link you refer to in your email under reply was one of the ones I went 
through before contacting the list this morning. I’ve been through all of those 
steps. 

I’ve also gone through the following discussion group - seems I’m not the only 
one with this problem.

 AirDrop is more of a temporary opening of the security gates than File 
 Sharing is.
 When I travel with my Mac I turn File Sharing OFF.
 I have File Sharing ON when home or on a Network I trust.
 
 I suggested File Sharing to test you can share files.
 
 Do you have File Sharing turned ON on both your Macs?
 
 System Preferences  Sharing
 In that Window you see on the left under 'On' -  'Service'
 Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Printer Sharing etc
 Do you have these ticked?
 You then see on the right side - File Sharing: ON (green dot)
 Other users can access shared folders on this computer, etc
 The Options button is directly under this.
 
 What do you have under 'Shared Folders'?

 Maybe this is Apple’s way of getting me to get the latest MBA - although

Re: Airdrop not working between MB Air and iMac after Yosemite

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Ronni,

The following site suggests it could be a network problem with some routers. 

http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/25/fix-wi-fi-problems-os-x-yosemite/

The fix they suggest is not one I’m about to try and do. 

But you may find it interesting.

Thanks again for spending the time you did on this issue.

Cheers,

Graham 

PS iMessages are now no longer accessible on my iMac and MBA as they were up 
until this morning. I’m going to read a real old fashioned book!!

 Attached are two screen shots of what I have on both Macs in System

 The missing word in the MBA is “public” and on the iMac the word before 
 “folder” is again Public
 
 That's correct the Public Folder is shared on both MBA  iMac and you have 
 added Music folder to shared on MBA
 You use the + to add other folders to share...

 I have “Allow me to be discovered by” on the iMac Airdrop window but that’s 
 not there on the MBA.
 
 BUT What do you have selected beside Allow me to be discovered by menu?: 
 The choices are; 'No One' - 'Contacts Only' - 'Everyone' ??
 
 On MBA at the bottom of the Airdrop screen is “Airdrop lets you share 
 instantly with people nearby. To share with someone using a Mac, ask them to 
 go to Airdrop in the Finder”. 
 
 In Finder Window - Open AirDrop on both the iMac  MBA  and then check what 
 you have selected beside Allow me to be discovered by Menu
 
 Did you read the link I sent previously explaining Sending  Receiving Files

Airdrop not working between MB Air and iMac after Yosemite

[Graham Rabe]

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I cannot transfer files between the 2 computers 
referred to below (transferring from MB Air to iMac).

I’ve spent a long time researching the problem on the web but the best I came 
up with was the following link suggesting to direct two computers to different 
networks and then reverting to the original one. I don’t have access to another 
network, so that fix can’t be used in my case. 

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6608769

The two computers recognise each other early on in the linkup but as soon as I 
highlight the files to be shared and then press “airdrop” under the “share” 
icon, the iMac screen drops the MB Air photo and the link is lost. I’ve also 
tried “search for older mac”, but I don’t get any further.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Graham Rabe

Alfred v2

[Graham Rabe]

I downloaded Alfred v2 some time ago and never used it much and now want to get 
rid of it. 

When I go to Applications and try to move it to trash, I get a message saying 
that it cannot be removed because it’s open. 

How do I close it? There is no indication anywhere that it is open.

Thanks,

 Hello Graham,
 
 To tidy a bit more you need to delete/trash some other files pertaining to 
 Alfred on your system.
 
 1. In your home folder, delete the following file: 
 ~/Library/Preferences/com.alfredapp.Alfred.plist
 2. In your cache folder, delete the following file: 
 ~/Library/Caches/com.alfredapp.Alfred
 3. In Application Support, delete the contents of the Alfred folder: 
 ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/
 
 If you do not have the hidden User Library showing:
 Mavericks hides the user Library folder (that is, ~/Library) by default, just 
 as Lion and Mountain Lion did. 
 You can open it easily enough by holding down Option while choosing Library 
 from the Finder’s Go menu, but if you find yourself doing this frequently, 
 that can get to be a hassle.
 
 Mavericks introduces an easier way to make the user Library folder visible 
 all the time—no more fiddling in Terminal. 
 All you need to do is open your home folder in its own window, choose View  
 Show View Options, and select the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Re: PDF Editor for Mac OS X (Mavericks)

[Graham Rabe]

Peter, Stephen and Ronni,

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I’ll go with PDFPen.

I need to convert pdf documents into Pages (or Word if I have to) and edit pdf 
documents in Evernote.

Cheers,

 You don't really mention what it is you need to do in a PDF editor. As others 
 have mentioned, the built-in Preview you already have on your Mac has 
 extensive markup features, and if you're running Mavericks, you can also use 
 it to fill in forms and type directly onto the PDF, although you cannot alter 
 existing content.
 
 If you want to go to the next level, PDFPen or PDFPen Pro is well worth a 
 look. Compared with Acrobat Professional, PDFPen is inexpensive at $75 from 
 the App Store, although you'll find it's a little from the publishers 
 themselves at xhttp://smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html. Two of the more 
 valuable features are the ability to change text within the PDF, and to 
 convert a PDF to MS Word format. It also has passable (but not exceptional!) 
 OCR abilities. The Pro version allows you to create interactive forms.
 
 Another option you might want to look at is the slightly cheaper PDF Nomad 
 (https://sintraworks.com/index.php/sintraworks/pdfnomad_home), also available 
 in the App Store. It also allows you to create interactive forms, also has 
 OCR abilities and even performs imposition so you can print small booklets.
 
 There are others out there as well, but I don't have experience with them so 
 I can't really comment. Both apps mentioned above have downloadable demoes, 
 so you make your own evaluations.

PDF Editor for Mac OS X (Mavericks)

[Graham Rabe]

Given all the pdf editors out there (other than the expensive Adobe app,) I’d 
appreciate a few recommendations from wamuggers. I’m not necessarily looking 
for a free app, just a reliable and reasonably priced one. 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Shaded background printing Mail and Pages Documents

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

“Scale to fit Paper Size” is selected. Starting in Safe Mode unfortunately made 
no difference.

So the problem remains but I really appreciate you trying to help resolve it. 
If it is ever resolved, I will certainly let you know what fixed it. 

Cheers,

Graham

 Hello Graham,
 
 I am not familiar with your printer, and I cannot produce the issues you are 
 experiencing.
 But in the Print Preview under Layout  Paper Handling - 'Scale to fit Paper 
 Size' is selected?
 
 If still having no luck with printing in Mail - You could try booting 
 Mavericks in Safe Mode, then open Mail and see if the problem occurs while in 
 Safe Mode.
 
 1. Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
 2. Press the power button.
 3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.
 You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup 
 tone, but not before.
 
 4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress 
 indicator (spinning gear).
 
 To leave safe mode, restart your Mac normally without holding down any keys 
 during startup.
 
 Cheers,

Re: Shaded background printing Mail and Pages Documents

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

The problem remains whether Scale to Fit Paper Size is selected or 
deselected. The default is deselected.

I’ll do some more research on “Page Break” issue in Mail - good tip.

Cheers,

Graham

Re: Shaded background printing Mail and Pages Documents

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

I forgot to mention that this is a problem only with my Macbook Air (purchased 
2011 using Mavericks 10.9.3). My iMac (purchased January 2013 using Mavericks 
10.9.3 and a Kyocera FS-C2526 MFP printer) has neither of the problems.

However, other iMacs on Mavericks also have the split line issue - see the 
following from an Apple discussion site:

HT5361 Line cut off when printing email - page break issue ...

discussions.apple.com › ... › OS X Mavericks › Discussions
Mar 19, 2014 - When I print a copy of an email that I compose, sometimes the 
page break between page 1 and page 2 of the printed email cuts a line 
horizontally in half - that is, the top half of the last line ... iMac, OS X 
Mavericks (10.9.2).
Issues with multiple things since Mavericks update - Apple Support ...

Re: Safari can't connect!

[Graham Rabe]

Hi Rick, 

I had same problem today, googled it and came up with this:

Open System Preferences  Network  Advanced  DNS
  
Click + and type:
  
208.67.222.222
  
Click + again and do the same.
  
208.67.220.220
  
Click OK.
  
Quit and relaunch Safari.

I did that and it appears to have solved the problem.

Cheers,

Graham
