Perhaps it's just one of iWork's little mysteries! Cheers Jane My contention remains that pasting a list of files into a Pages document does not work, but it seems the results depend on the contents of the original Finder window. I just copied and pasted a list of 157 applications into Pages, and got a list of filenames repeated 157 times (over 450 pages)! I tried the same with a folder containing 58 .png files, and ended up with 58 embedded images. When pasted into a TextEdit document (Rich Text format) the 157 items appeared as 157 icons (just one copy), but a list of 157 filenames when pasted into a Plain Text document. I got the same results with the 58 png files. From the list of items in TextEdit (Plain Text format), you can Select All and past into a Numbers table with perfect results. Just select a single cell in the table and Paste. You will end up with the correct number of rows with one item in each row. I have no idea what's going on with Pages!...

Hot-Swap functionality enables you to connect and disconnect drives without having to power down your computer. This does not mean you can simply pull out a drive at any time; you must put away (“eject”, “unmount”, “dismount”) the drive volume. Only after the drives are ejected (unmounted) is it safe for you to disconnect the drives or cables. If you do not follow this procedure, data on your drives may be corrupted.

Do this prior to the next attempt to shutdown: Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processesdropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem. If no process stands out then one at a time select an opened application (one you started) and try to quit the application via Activity Monitor Quit button. If you find one that won't quit properly that's the culprit. Also, open the Console application. Examine the log entries around the time of the previous attempt to shutdown. There may be an entry indicating a failed attempt to quit a process.

Merv I think Flux is an excellent application, at the top of the tree. For my money, it is better in many ways than Dreamweaver, which for years has been overpriced and bloated, and is still based on 20th century ideas. Flux depends completely on CSS for its design techniques, and has full support for all modern technologies, especially HTML5, jQuery, and many others. Like Dreamweaver, it produces very clean code, and does not modify your original code. The main caveat with Flux is that it is such a departure from more conventional WYSIWYG Web Page designers that it does take quite a bit of getting used to, but once you get used to it it becomes a pleasure to use. Flux receives very regular updates from its developers, and is becoming highly regarded in the development community, even though it doesn't seem to get the same publicity that other software gets. I would definitely take advantage of the discount.

I eventually found it was a sticky Shift Key and it was therefore not able to handle the lower case password, therefore the password was not accepted. We had to replace the keyboard.

Peter phoned Apple (he has Applecare) and they arranged for an appointment yesterday afternoon at the Genius Bar in the Perth store. The sad news is that there is water damage, obviously not something covered by Applecare. How the water got into the computer is a complete mystery but that now becomes irrelevant. Peter is distraught. His MacBook Pro is part of his life. Apart from normal usage he uses it to create his own music. The diagnosis from the Genius Bar is that the logic boarded has shorted out. The hard drive is apparently OK so that data recovery should be possible. Apple will not even consider a repair and advised contacting NextByte. Peter did this but they want money before even looking, even though there is already the Apple report. I suggested Peter contact MacWorx in Joondalup but they are not answering. No doubt they are enjoying a well earned break at this time of the year. Is it ever possible to obtain a second hand logic board? Is there a recommendation as to where to go for Data Recovery?

The -L switch instructs memtest to save the transcript of the run to a file named memtest.log within the working directory from which you invoked memtest (also known as the current working directory). Under the full OS, launching a terminal window sets the working directory to /Users/login_name where login_name is the account name you logged in with. Note that when running in single-user mode, you are automatically logged in as the root user so the default current working directory is /private/var/root. The main thing to remember is that the memtest.log file is always saved in the current working directory which is the same thing as the login directory unless the user manually changes to a different working directory. Alternatively, you can cd into the memtest folder and run the program using the command ./memtest all 3 -L RETURN (Don't forget the period before the forward slash!) Best to run at least 3 to 5 passes to obtain the best test coverage of marginal or intermittently failing DIMMs. To test less than all of the available free memory, replace the all option with the number of megabytes to test (e.g. 10, 100, 512, etc). The number entered is assumed to be in MB. For example, the command, /Applications/memtest/memtest 1150 3 -L RETURN will test 1150 MB of the installed memory assuming this much is available for testing. TIPS FOR ISOLATING DEFECTIVE DIMMS Memtest currently does not have the ability to isolate which DIMM or DIMMs are marginal or defective when the test results report a failure. This feature is planned for a future release. For now, the best way to isolate the offending DIMM(s) is to use a binary search methodology. This is an algorithm which is popular in many sorting routines and can lead to the discovery of a defective DIMM in a minimal number of swap/test sequences. When memtest reports one or more failures, the first step in isolating the offending DIMMs is to remove half of them and then rerun memtest. If there are no failures, then the suspect DIMMs are the ones that were removed. If failures are still reported, then one or more of the still-installed DIMMs are bad. If the failures are in the still-installed DIMMs, again remove half of them and retest. If the failure are gone, then swap the installed half for the removed half and retest. Each time a test is run, either cut the number of installed DIMMs in half (for a failure) or swap the installed DIMMs for the removed ones (no failure) until the minimal number of DIMMs are installed (e.g., one

I don't think the problem is your desktop preference file, as it is only happening after 'wake from sleep'. Have you tried Resetting PRAM and NVRAM Shut down the computer. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4. Turn on the computer. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys. Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models. If you want to locate the desktop plist file. Open Finder Go Menu Go to Folder then type ~/library Once in Library open Preferences folder, scroll down until you locate com.apple.desktop.plist and then drag that file to your desktop.

apple licensing
just an interesting comment: Earlier this year, Apple changed its policies to require all iOS apps offering subscription services to share 30 percent of that revenue with Apple. The response has been a revolt. Companies like Walmart and Amazon are building HTML5 Web apps that are optimized to work on the iPhone and the iPad instead of offering their wares through a native iOS apps. A side benefit for consumers and app developers is that these apps will also work on other devices—desktops, laptops, and competing smartphones and tablets. Time will tell what impact this change will have on Apple's success as a company.

What sync / attenuation stats is your modem reporting? (Line Speed / Attenuation / Noise details) What MTU setting do you have on your modem router? The MTU setting of your router will lead to performance issues if set too high or too low. The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet Networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. Have you tried an Isolation Test? Isolation Test So, you are on ADSL or ADSL2/2+ and are having some problems, someone has told you to do an isolation test and you have no idea what that is. What is an Isolation test Basically an Isolation test is when you remove all telephony devices in your premises from the phone line. These can include ADSL filters, phones, faxes, answering machines, Foxtel Digital (or any other Digital PayTV), EFTPOS machines, back-to-base alarm systems, dialup modems, medical alterting systems etc – basically anything that plugs into the phone line. After all devices have been removed, plug your ADSL broadband modem directly into the first phone socket into the house, bypassing any ADSL filters/splitters (just to eliminate these as a possible problem). The first socket is generally the one in the common area of the house (kitchen or lounge/front room), but you may have to consider where the line comes into the house and trace it if necessary – especially if multiple sockets have been installed. Use the shortest phone cable you have (ie 1-2m), and try another phone cable if there is no luck with the first. Try various phone sockets in the house if what you think is the first socket doesn't work; it's not impossible for a single socket to have a fault, and if the house has a central filter fitted then some sockets may have no ADSL signal at all by design. Monitor the Internet connection for the difficulty you were experiencing to see if it clears. If the problem is still there, refer notes below. If the difficulty you were experiencing clears, then you can connect one filter and one telephony device to your phone line, and monitor your internet connection again for the difficulty you were experiencing. By connecting telephony devices one by one, and testing your internet connection each time when you add another device, this process of elimination should single out the telephony device which causes difficulty with your Internet connection. Bear in mind that since adding a single telephony device will introduce a piece of equipment, a filter and a line cord into the circuit, *any one of these things* could introduce a fault into the circuit – be prepared to swap equipment around and test rigorously. What is the purpose for doing an Isolation test If you are having issues with things like your connection dropping out (modem losing ADSL sync), noise/static on your phone line, slower speeds than usual, then this test can help isolate the issue. All these issues are often caused by some form of interference induced into line, which could be a result of bad filters, dodgy phone cables, malfunctioning telephony equipment, or even nearby electrical devices. Ensure that pest-it and other electronic rodent repellers (like the devices Dick Smith and others sell) are removed from power points – these often cause problems with ADSL signals. The same goes for any electrical equipment capable of generating an electromagnetic field, such as fridges/freezers, air conditioners, compressors, cordless phones, microwave ovens, flourescent lights etc. This alone is a good argument for not using extension cords, as they act as an antenna for electromagnetic interference induction. Notes • If after you have done all this and still having issues, it isn't always a problem with your line outside your house (Telstra's boundary),

Re: How to burn/convert .mkv files using Toast 11

Each file is virtually the same size (628.5MB, 624.7MB, 633.8MB, 631.6MB and 632.8MB), the Permissions rw r r (644) the same, the size 832 x 468 pixels. In the first instance I put the individual files into Quicktime Pro and Converted them and then burned them, but the .mkv format has the bottom third of the picture obscured with massive subtitles (in allegedly English) of an English language program, which can't be turned off, as it is burned onto the disc. So I found a work around. I opened Toasted 11 Clicked Video Selected DVD-Video Clicked Finishdropped the .mkv file into it and selected burn and Toasted chugged away for about 4-5 hours and produced an approx. 3.5GB DVD without the subtitles. Brilliant. So I did this for the first 3 files without any problems. Then I put the fourth one in, I noticed that when the Toast main window shrank down to the small conversion window after I pressed burn, that the time ribbon seemed to be moving a lot faster than it had on the previous conversions. Sure enough it did and moved much faster and after about a minute or so at about 15%, Toast crashed. The same happened when I tried the Fifth file. No matter what I have tried I have not been able to get these last two files to burn under the same conditions as the first three. Now I know that Toast is able to do the job as it has done it to the first three. But what I don't know is what it actually did to the first three. All I know is it burnt the Disc using some code or codec? Does anyone have any idea what code/codec/format that Toast would have used to convert those first three files, so I can manually set it either in the Toast Convert section or using Quicktime or something similar to ensure that the file is converted in the same manner as had been the case on the previous conversions?

So, if you are consistently receiving digital channel 11 (which carries sub-channels Channel 10, Channel 11, and OneHD) then a bit of a fiddle with your antenna should get you Channel 12 and its ABC sub-channels. All it often takes is a heavy bird slightly bending one of the medium-long elements on your antenna, making it less sensitive. Channel 12 resonates with the medium-long elements of standard antennae.

None of the other ISP's can offer this and the speed issue is quite frankly extremely frustrating. According to both Westnet and iiNet there are no plans for them to change this soon. Anyway my question is this:- I use a D-Link DSL-504T Modem and want to continue using this. I believe Bigpond will be sending me a single outlet modem of some sort (included in the deal). However I want to be able to run my Time Capsule so the D-Link will stay. Does anyone know what settings I need to change in the D-Link 504T to use Bigpond (other than my Login and Password) ? I can see myself in a situation where I can't get Bigpond on the phone or they are not very helpful (I have been spoilt by Westnet) and the Westnet account is finished and I can't get the Bigpond one operating and I have no email to ask for help.

Reply-To: WAMUG Mailing List wamug@wamug.org.au Hi all, I have been through a couple of iterations since getting my Apple TV V2. I too had an amplifier that was built not long after the ark, but it did have an optical input. So when I had the 'old' amp, I had an HDMI cable directly from the ATV to the Plasma set AND the optical connection from the ATV to the amp. This allowed me to listen in 5.1 audio and still have the video signal to the Plasma. you could of course also used the HDMI only and listened to the speakers in the Plasma set. HDMI carries audio and video together. So when I was listening to audio, I just turned the Plasma volume to zero, and it was all good. But my plan had always been to upgrade to an HDMI capable amp and I have just done that a few weeks back. A 3 zone Yamaha unit. So the HDMI cable from the ATV goes to the amp and thats it from the ATV and then another HDMI cable from AMP to Plasma to carry either ATV video signal or video signal from the Panasonic HD recorder - being the only other input to the amp I have. So basically, you can get away with audio and video direct to your flat screen with the HDMI cable but you wont get the benefit of a good audio system that way. Unless your amp has an optical input for the audio signal, you'll need to upgrade to a current spec amp with HDMI inputs. There is no RCA output from the ATV for audio signal. The ATV has been very good for me, cheap @ $129 and at that price really not a lot of vacillating in coming to the decision to get it. Stephen, you will not regret it, and the music and photo sharing that it enables brings a huge benefit of easy accessibility to your libraries - let alone podcast downloads and movies etc which is the main intended market penetration of this unit. Of course the set up of the ATV is just bulletproof basic. I was nervous as I am with most wireless devices and setting up with WPA codes, network details et al, usually having me trembling before the event!!! But it was all for nothing with this little beauty!! Regards Peter...

The expected layout is that the Apple TV connects to your TV and then your amplifier or home theatre gets its sound from the TV audio out sockets -- be they RCA, HDMI or TOSLINK. If you can connect your amplifier to your TV's audio out connection then there will be no problem. As for movie rentals, yes you can download your movies to your Mac and then stream them to your Apple TV. A caveat though is that the reverse does not apply. If you download a movie rental on your Apple TV, you cannot watch it on your Mac. Cheers, Carlo On 2011-04-19, at 22:11, Stephen Chape wrote: Sorry Alan, my TV is a new Sony 46 inch HD 1080 LCD.

My FW drives are silent when the iMac is sleeping or the drives have been idle for a few minutes.

I use 'Eject' to remove a drive and it automatically loads (mounts?) when I plug it in. My Maxtor USB drive for weekly SuperDuper backups hasn't got a power switch either! I do not have full confidence in the reliability of this drive (or the iMac USB ports). I will give it a trial with leaving it powered up but unmounted over the next week. I think I had problems in the past with connecting the USB to the iMac before turning on the Maxtor power. I think I had less problems by first powering up, waiting10 seconds, then plugging it into the USB port. Thanks again for sharing your methods. Hi James I was about to send this email when your response was received. Can you give further clarification? Q2, (re disconnecting a drive) you said just unmount the drive and unplug. Do you mean Disk UtilityUnmount? I normally use FinderEject (the up-triangle symbol) to initiate closure of a drive. Or are they the same thing? Q3, (re daisychains) you said apple is correct, its better to connect the low voltage cable into the drive then plug the power pack into the mains. I read the opposite sense into the Apple statement. Later you said you normally power up the drive before connecting FW to the computer. I'm reading difference senses from Apple re connecting to an (active) chain, and connecting to the computer port; hence the separate Q4. Q5, re USB. Plugging in a 'hot' lead seems intuitively best for the reason you give. I used to get some sparking between the USB plug and the aluminium iMac case (but perhaps not from this Maxtor unit) so I am very careful how I insert plugs.

My iMac is so wonderfully quiet that I find the sound of running external drives (firewire or USB) extremely distracting and prefer to have them powered down when not in use. My prefered method is slightly different for USB and firewire: Firewire: I too have two WD MyBook firewire drives, albeit of different models/vintages. I prefer to leave them plugged in (both power and firewire) and I have them daisy-chained. As you have noted, the drives will sleep with 'heartbeats' of slow flashing LEDs (though I find this is the case whether daisy-chained or not) - however, you can switch then off even though they do not have specific on/off switches on the housing - the method is basically the same for both my units - even though the specific hardware is different: My old unit is a two-drive MyBook Pro Edition II, which has two concentric blue LED rings, which supposedly perform various functions, when sleeping, the outer ring slowly pulses. To switch it off: Make sure the disk is unmounted (all volumes if, like me, you have it formatted with more than one). Press and hold the central button - the light goes bright and does a few things and then goes out - at this point, release the button (if you hold it too long it may start up again). Next time you want to use the disk, just press the centre button again and it will spin-up and mount. My newer unit is a MyBook Studio Edition (firewire, eSATA usb) with

There is conflicting and ambiguous advice from Apple support articles, Apple discussion groups, and WAMUG archives. My specific questions follow. I use a 1TB Firewire WD 'My Book Studio for Mac' for Time Machine. Very happy with the trouble-free experience after previous unreliable performance from two USB (WD and Maxtor) drives. So I bought a second Firewire drive and daisy-chained it for storing video files (linked to iTunes for Apple TV2 access). I do not use (did not install) the WD SmartWare facility. i'm too did not install the wd smartware Q1:With the iMac in sleep mode, each of the two drives seem to have permanent alternating 'heartbeats' of slow flashing LEDs when daisychained. Is this normal? (With just one drive connected there is no LED activity.) yes Q2: The second (Video) drive is used infrequently, say once a week for few hours. I would like to completely disconnect it (power and firewire cables) between usages. Given its links to iTunes, assumed low power consumption and zero disc activity, is removal a good, bad, or neutral action? just unmount the drive unplug, it must be the last in the chain otherwise you have to unmount all drives unplug the lot Q3: Apple Firewire FAQs at http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26476 says (q7): Avoid plugging in live power adapters into devices connected to the chain. The topic also says that individual chained devices can be turned on and off as needed. The My Book Studio drives have individual power packs but do not have inbuilt on-off switches. There is a switch function but it apparently only works in conjunction with the SmartDrive software. 'Turning on' a drive thus means plugging in a power pack and starting up the drive from cold. apple is correct, its better to connect the low voltage cable into the drive then plug the power pack into the mains mine go to sleep after 5 or 10 min no activity wakes up when data is required but may take a few seonds to wake up My assumption of required actions is that any new Firewire device should be plugged into the mains power supply and activated before connecting its Firewire cable into the (live) chain. Disconnection steps are to eject the drive, unplug the Firewire cable, then unplug the power pack.Are these connect/disconnect steps correct? i normally plug the packs into the drives, connected the firewire cables between the drives, plug the packs into main let it start for approx 20s then plug the fw-cable into the computer Q4 Is it best to connect a 'hot' or 'cold' device to the Firewire port; and are there different recommendations for plugging into the 'port' and 'chain'? Recent WAMUG advice was to use a hot lead. Advice from a few years ago, citing an external reference, was to connect the cable first and THEN activate the device.Advice from the Apple Support FAQ article (q6) becomes ambiguous when read too many times: In practice ... most devices profit from being turned on at the time they are connected. I think Apple assume the devices are powered from the computer port and have local on-off switches. powerup then connect the fw cable to the computer, is what i do Q5:Finally, should a USB hard drive with power pack (for my weekly SuperDuper backup) be powered up first and then plugged 'hot' into a USB port? yes you have more chances that the drive will be recognized With thanks in advance for your careful considerations!
