Hi Rosemary.

Re: [WAMUG] computer - phone connectivity

Thanks Tim.  That is more than likely where my problem lies but the reference 
to icloud leaves me completely befuddled.  How do I check the icoloud settings?

[WAMUG] computer - phone connectivity

[John Thompson]

I am sure I have asked this question before but cannot find the response/s.

I have iPhone 13 mini and my Wife has iPhone 12 mini.  Earlier this year I had 
no problem with the 13 updating the Calendar from the computer entries but of 
late, it does not.  The 12 is a later purchase and has been a problem in this 
area all along.  Both computer and phone/s have been system updated so it 
appears something in the latest updates has changed.

Can someone please give some options to rectify this problem?

Thank you and regards

[WAMUG] iPhone connectivity

[John Thompson]

For some unknown (to me) reason, my Calendar appointments are not being shared 
with my iPhone 13 Mini.  All was originally working fine but now is not.  What 
am I missing?

I would also like to have my wife’s iPhone 12 Mini interact with the calendar 
info on the Mac.  Have been trying for some time but do not seem to crack the 
code required.

[WAMUG] iphone setup

[John Thompson]

I need assistance with my wife’s recently purchased iphone 12 mini setup.
I am not totally ignorant in the use of Apple computers but iOs is another 
story.

My iPhone, laptop and iPad quite happily interface with the Mac Mini desktop, 
reflecting changes in calendar, Safari Bookmarks, messages, Arlo Security 
Camera, etc., but we can’t get the iPhone 12 Mini to do the same.

Can someone please shed some light on this problem.

Thanks and regards

Re: [WAMUG] upn file?

[John Thompson]

Hi Robin,

Many thanks for the reply.  Yes, the vehicle in question is a Jeep Grand 
Cherokee, 2013 model.  I have already been on the site you mentioned and 
followed all the download instructions which resulted in downloading the 
uconnect.upn file.  The problem I had was in opening that file as nothing in my 
app collection would open it.  There is a file in the download that has to be 
extracted and the Mac can’t do it.

Solved the problem however by using one of those ‘other’ computers, with the 
aid of my Daughter, to open and extract the file.  I have now managed to 
upgrade the vehicle software to the latest version but am still unable to 
successfully pair my iphone13 with the car.  My earlier iphone6 worked fine so 
I guess I still have some work to figure out the problem.

I know this is not a Mac or WAMUG related problem, and for that, I apologise to 
the group.

Once again, thank you and Kind Regards

John Thompson

[WAMUG} Slow Safari

[John Thompson]

Just relatively recently (the last month or so) access to Safari seems to have 
slowed considerably.  It is particularly slow when booting the app but once in, 
works as normal.  I don’t think I have downloaded anything untoward that may be 
causing the problem. I keep everything up to date.

Any ideas out there?

Re: big sur

[John Thompson]

Thank you for the greetings Peter, much appreciated and I trust you and yours 
are safe and well and have a very pleasant Christmas and New Year.

As for Big Sur, I feel it is probably the best version in recent memory.  
Everything works well and briskly.

Greetings All,

A little patience is all that is required.  Just after posting my previous to 
the list, Macmini and Big Sur came to life.

All appears good and the interface is quite pleasing.

Best Wishes to all

Re: big sur

[John Thompson]

I have been holding off on this upgrade, waiting on some positive reports.  All 
looked good this morning so, with nothing better to do, I decided now was the 
time.

Thankfully, I still have my 13” mid- 2012 MacBook pro running Mojave as the 
late 2014 Mac mini is still trying to complete the upgrade to Big Sur.  It has 
been ove two hours now and still not up and running so I guess it is just a 
waiting game.

A very Merry Christmas and happy and safe New Year to one and all.

Regards

John Thompson

Re: Ext drive connectivity

[John Thompson]

Thanks again to all for their inputs.  Following Daniel’s instructions, Time 
Machine now appears to be working as it should.  I do not recall whjere I 
received the information regarding Catalina and Firewire but apparently it was 
false.

Kind Regrdes

Re: Ext drive connectivity

[John Thompson]

Thanks Daniel,

I have followed your instructions and it now appears to be working.  the 
External drive/s are showing on the desktop and in Disk Utility.

The Time Machine backups ceased in February right after the system upgrade to 
Catalina and a misterious message appeared stating the system no longer 
supported firewire and to connect external drives via USB 3.  I left everything 
as was until recently and decided to re-connect Time Machine.

Will see how it goes now and advise on the results.

Ext drive connectivity

[John Thompson]

Maybe Peter H. or Daniel Kerr could assist in this one.

For quite a number of years I have been using a Voyager Q External drive, 
purchased from Daniel, for my Backup and Time Machine, connected to my Mac Mini 
(Late 2014) via Thunderbolt to firewire cable.  This has worked fine until my 
upgrade to Catalina which no longer supports Firewire and now requires USB 3 
connectivity.

Could you please advise the cableing I would require and the port/s available 
on the Mac Mini for same.

Kind Regartds

Canon scanner

[John Thompson]

Hello group,

I am having trouble (in fact, can’t get any joy) scanning with my Canon Pixma 
TS6060 Multifunction printer.  Have tried installing new drivers, checked the 
Canon info site and generally spent half the day trying to get a scan from the 
printer to the Computer.  All to no avail.

Have the latest Os installed and everything else works, including the printer,  
but not the scanner.

Has anyone had any experience with this type of machine.

Regards

Re: lPad Internet Connection

[John Thompson]

Hello Group,

many thanks for the responses.  Yes, I have gone through all the reset 
suggestions that have been made, including the Modem Restart,  and initially, 
no result.  However, after the umpteenth attempt, the iPad WIFI responded 
briefly and then died again.  We left it sleeping for some hours and Julie went 
back a short time ago, entered the Settings and the beast is now working.  Will 
see how long this lasts.

Thank again and regards to all

John Thompson

lPad Internet Connection

[John Thompson]

I know, senility is a big issue.  I have been trying for the past hour or so to 
connect my iPad (6th gen), iOS 12.3.1, to the internet without success.  There 
is no problem with my iphone or Mac Mini. Does anyone have any suggestions as I 
seem to have run out of ideas.

lPad Internet Connection

[John Thompson]

I know, senility is a big issue.  I have been trying for the past hour or so to 
connect my iPad (6th gen), iOS 12.3.1, to the internet without success.  There 
is no problem with my iphone or Mac Mini. Does anyone have any suggestions as I 
seem to have run out of ideas.

resides in the Dock and all works perfectly.

Dvd Player

[John Thompson]

macxOS 10.14.5 Mojave.
Mac mini (late 2014)

I have just recently found that the DvdPlayer app is no longer supported in 
this OS.  Is there a replacement or upgrade available.  Have done a quick look 
at App Store but unsure what would be suitable.

Some advice would be much appreciated.

Re: Monitorfor Macmini

[John Thompson]

Hi Ronn,

Thanks for that, I will forward the info on but in the meantime, my daughter is 
planning on paying a visit to MacWorx in Joondalup so she will get their advice 
on the matter also.

Apparently, it is the Graphics card in her iMac and that item is no longer 
available.

Re: Monitorfor Macmini

[John Thompson]

Hi Ronni,

Many thanks for that info.  I will, with your permission of course, forward it 
on to my youngest daughter.  Her 2007 27” iMac died recently - the problem was 
in the Monitor and apparently, replacement parts are not available - don’t know 
the exact cirumstances.  Due to serious health situations in her family she is 
not in a position to puchase a new full computer (of the Apple kind) but will 
have to buy a cheap Windoze laptop for work purposes.  She would like to 
purchase a MacMini and be able to use the laptop as a monitor.

Please let me know if there is a problem with forwarding this information.

Just a quick question to the group.

Is it possible to use a laptop, any laptop not just Apple, as a monitor for a 
MacMini?

Thanks for the response.  All now sorted by powering down the ipad, giving it a

ipad wifi problem

[John Thompson]

My older ipad, the model following Version 2 and sometimes referred to as ‘ipad 
new’, will not log onto the wifi network.  Have no idea what could have gone 
wrong as nothing has been changed.  Worked fine yesterday but today will not 
log in.  The ipad is too old for the lates OS upgrade but has been working well 
up to now, with the few odd exceptions.

Has anyone any suggestions.

Hi Ronni,
The restart seems to have done the trick, thank you.  Keep forgetting

Once again, thank you

Networking problem

[John Thompson]

Good morning list.

I have two computers, a MacMini and a Macbook Pro, both upgraded succesfully to 
Mojave. The MacMini is the main computer and the Macbrook Pro is used primarily 
when travelling.  Up until the upgrade, I have had no problems with networking 
the two machines and transferring required data when preparing to travel.  Now, 
neither machine will see the other, in fact the message is ‘unable to connect’.

The only disparity I see when comparing the Network settings is on the MacMini. 
 The Ehernet Status is Connected but 'has a self-assigned IP address and will 
not be able to connect to the Internet.’.

Does anyone have any idea what the probvlem may be?  I can give further data 
when and if required.

Thank you

John Thompson

Re: iPad Os

[John Thompson]

Thaks 
Ronni,

I had guessed the OS was about as far as it would go as no more reminders to 
update have been received but thought I would check anyway.

The problem appears to have righted itself now but wil lkeep the reboot option 
in mind,

Regards

John

iPad Os

[John Thompson]

Hello list,

We have a 2012 iPad3 (I think it was referred to as iPad New) that 
appears to have developed a Safari problem.  Will not open certain favourite 
sites.  It is running iOS 9 .?. Is that the last update this machine will 
handle, and if not, how do we upgrade?
I feel an upgrade may rectify the problems.

Any assistance/advice would be appreciated.

Re: iPad No Internet Connection

[John Thompson]

Hi Diana,
It is quite possibly your provider giving you a little nudge to make 
the changeover to NBN.  We had a similar problem with our internet dropping in 
and out quite regularly once the NBN became available in our area.
Made the changeover and all is back to normal with an improved performance.  
Have not had a dropout since.

Regards

John

Hi Phillipe,

I find PDFpenPro does a very good job with editing PDF files.  Works well with

Re: New Computer (WAMUG posting)

[John Thompson]

Thanks for that Ronni,

I made a posting to the list for information of anyone interested and also to 
seek a little assistance.  I don’t think that warranted your negative response. 

My query was where would the unnecessary data on my hard drive be hiding, and 
how to remove it.  I also stated that since the move to the new machine, the 
boot time seemed a little too long for a modern application.  I would like to 
know if it is possibly a software or hardware problem.

If the WAMUG can assist, I would be very thankful.

Regards

John Thompson

Re: New Computer (WAMUG posting)

[John Thompson]

Just an update on my latest venture in the "wonderful world of Apple”.

After much trial and error, I have now managed to successfully and completely 
migrate all the data from old MacMini to the new one.  I used the term migrate 
loosely as there appeared to have been several  incomplete upgrades.  The 
result of this is now having a very overloaded HD.  What should have been a 158 
GB upgrade, plus the extra used by the latest OS, has now turned out to end up 
with a 705 GB HD.

I can only assume that all the early attempts have been socked away somewhere 
and would now like to know if there is any way I can clean them out.

On another issue, the new Mini seems to take much longer, up to 3 minutes, to 
boot up.  This is boot time I have not encountered since the days of the old 
Ap[ple 11GS.

Thanks to the list for assistance

John Thompson

Re: New Computer (WAMUG posting)

Hello Alan,

Thanks for that.  The adapter arrived this morning but have not used it as yet, 
waiting for all the backups to complete.

“Screen Sharing” seems like a good option, will have a good look at it.

Have Cc’d the Wamug List so that any others interested can follow.

Many thanks again

Re: New computer

[John Thompson]

Thanks Tim,

I would love to have gone down the same track you did but a 27” iMac is way 
beyond my means.

My Time Machine backup and External Drive is on a Voyager Q (with thanks to 
Daniel Kerr who knows these units well) which does not have USB port, only 
Firewire 400 and 800 hence the wait for the adapter.

Regards

John

New computer

[John Thompson]

Good Morning List,

I have just recently upgraded my old 2009 MacMini to the latest model, the old 
one could not be updated past El Capitan and was getting a little flakey.

My problem now is transferring all data from old to new.  As it is MacMini, 
there is only one monitor, keyboard and mouse and the new machine no longer 
supports Firewire ( still waiting on the arrival of Thunderbolt to Firewire 
adapter - thanks Australia Post).

Have been in touch (after long periods of waiting) with Apple Support and have 
all the instructions on Immigration Assistant, etc..

My question at the moment is, can I have both machines hooked into the one 
monitor and switch easily between them?

Any assistance would be greatfully appreciated.

Thank You

Re: iPad connectivity

Thank you for that Ronni,

The support link got me going in the right direcdtion.  I tend to forget the

All is now good.

iPad connectivity

[John Thompson]

Good morning and Happy New Year to all Wamugians.

It has been a while since my last communication but I have managed to sort 
problems out but not this time.

For some unknown reason, my Wife’s iPad 3 has lost intertnet connection 
yesterday.  I have tried unsuccesfully to re-establish the network but to no 
avail.  If anyone has any ideas, I would be most greatful.

Thank you

Thanks for that Ronni,
In answer to you questions;
A)  Updating 10.12 to 10.12.3,

Mail problem

[John Thompson]

Since upgrading the Os on my 13” Macbook Pro (2012) Mail will not open.  It 
quits within a couple of secondsor less each time I try toopen it.  Is there 
any way I can re-install Mail for this computer?  Do not have any problemson 
the older MacMini running OS 10.11.6 and Mail 9.3.

Thanks in anticipation

Re: Optical drive problem

[John Thompson]

Thanks to everyone for their contributions to this minor problem.  I don’t feel 
confident enough to tackle the replacement myself but will study the 
instructions given and see what transpires.  Unfortunately, upgrading the Mac 
Mini to a new model will not do the job as Apple, and many other computer 
makers, have dropped the optical drive from their latest models.  That would 
require the additional purchase of an external DVD drive.

Oh Woe Is Me !!!

Re: Problem with Youtube

Thanks to everyone for your contributions to this problem.  I have been unable

The problem only started after my last OS update.

Thanks Susan.  It is not the linksor videos, I just cannot access Youtube.  
When I click on the video the youtube url starts and then stops completely.  
This has only occurred since my last OS upgrade to 10.11.6.

Problem with Youtube

[John Thompson]

Hello list members,
It has been a while since I last posted but do still follow/

My problem is a reletively recenty one, only started occurring in the last 
couple of weeks. 
 I receive several youtube clips from different, but trusted, areas and am not 
able to open the video clip.  I have checked all the Safari settings and 
preferences I can find but to no avail.  The sites request an update of Adobe 
Flash Player which I have done several times.
Can anyone shed any light on what may be causing this problem?

Mac Mini's

[John Thompson]

Good Morning List,

My primary computer is a 7-year old Mac Mini, still going strong and 
runniong the latest upgrades but is a little slow in a lot of areas.  I have 
been thinking of updating to the latest model for a while now but the newer 
machines do not come with the optical drive (DVD/CD reader/writer).

My question to the list, is it feasible to link the two Mini’s and 
utilise the optical drive and storage on the older one whilst using the new one 
as the main computer?

Thanks for any comments.

Hi Peer,
Have never used the Share function but following your email, I tried to 
send a pages doc to myself and it worked fine. I upgraded both the Mac Mini and 
the Macbnook Pro to El Capitan three days ago and find a significant speed 
increase.  Have not looked further into the system as yet.

Re: the spinning beach ball has changed!

[John Thompson]

Hello Peter,
My Mac Mini is late 2009 and the Macbook Pro is 2012.  The 
intertersting thing I did notice was that the shared doc was not visible on the 
draft email but appeared as an attachment on the delivered email which actually 
arrived stating “This message has no content”.  I guess all will iron out in 
due course.

 Hi John,
 
 Are you sure you replaced the whole Mail folder from ~/Library/Mail?
 The (on my Mac) Mailboxes folder is inside the V2 folder inside the Mail 
 folder.
 
 Do you have 'On My Mac' showing in Apple Mail? If the mailboxes are not 
 showing... hover your cursor to the right of 'On My Max'  you will see 
 'show'.

 I have two Mac’s; a 2009 Mac Mini and a 2012 Macbook Pro 13”.  The Macbook

 It’s not difficult to do, and there’s a pretty comprehensive description of 
 the process at 
 http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/moving-apple-mail.htm 
 http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/moving-apple-mail.htm. It’s 
 probably a little more long-winded coverage than I would go to, but it 
 covers everything. Fundamentally it’s a matter of copying over your Mail 
 folder from your ~/Library folder, as well as your Mail Preferences, but 
 rather than try to understand any convoluted process I might describe, 
 you’ll be just as well off reading the recommended site.

Re: Downloaded pdf will not print

[John Thompson]

Hello Peter,
Another option which I use regularly is to click the Print menu, when 
the image appears select ‘Save As PDF’ rather than print, save the new image 
and then print from there.

Regards

John

 Hi Peter,
 
 Have you tried downloading the PDF again? Sometimes a PDF file becomes 
 damaged or contains corrupt data. If you downloaded the PDF from the web or 
 received it in email, download the PDF again and open the new copy and try 
 printing it.
 
 If still doesn't print - In your Print Settings - Advanced, can you choose 
 Print as Image?
 
 Cheers,

Moving Mail

[John Thompson]

In all probability. this subject has already been covered but here it goes 
again.

I have two Mac’s; a 2009 Mac Mini and a 2012 Macbook Pro 13”.  The Macbook Pro 
is the faster and better machine and I wish to use it as my main computer, 
relegating the MacMini to reserve.  Both are running the latest operating 
system upgrade and have the same basic programs installed.  The one difference 
is in Mail.

My problem is, how do I move Mail, in it’s entirety, complete with Mailboxes, 
over from MacMini to Macbook Pro?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Moving Mail

[John Thompson]

Thanks for that info Peter,
It all seemed quite simple and fast.  The only problem, and that was 
more than likely my ineptitude, was that all the mailboxes did not move across. 
 Will have another study of things later.

 It’s not difficult to do, and there’s a pretty comprehensive description of 
 the process at 
 http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/moving-apple-mail.htm 
 http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/moving-apple-mail.htm. It’s 
 probably a little more long-winded coverage than I would go to, but it covers 
 everything. Fundamentally it’s a matter of copying over your Mail folder from 
 your ~/Library folder, as well as your Mail Preferences, but rather than try 
 to understand any convoluted process I might describe, you’ll be just as well 
 off reading the recommended site.

Re: Backup apps

[John Thompson]

Hi Ronni,
I am running OS X 10.10.3 and have CCC 3.5.5..  This version of CCC was 
received some time ago as part of one of the bundles that were available from 
time to time  (don’t seem to see those bundle offers anymore).  I visited the 
Bombich site yesterday and obviously unintentionally downloaded a trial version 
of CCC  4.1.2 which enabled me to do the required backup.  That is the reason I 
thought my copy had finally come to life and upgraded itself in the process.  I 
know, I am a dreamer.

CCC version 3.5.5 will not load at all.  I have tried all possible 
avenues but to no avail.  I will continue looking through my archives for the 
bundle and key that came with my original purchase.  Bombich Software do not 
appear to have any record of purchase but that is not surprising as some of 
these software bundles go through various avenues before reaching their final 
destination.  I may have to bite the bullet and purchase a new version.

I also have SuperDuper Ver 2.7.2 which was possibly obtained in the 
same bundle.  Have not tried it but would prefer to use CCC.

Thanks for your input

John

 Hi John,
 
 What version of  OS X are you running and what version of CCC?
 The latest version of CCC is 4.1.2 
 What is happening when you launch CCC either from the Dock or from within 
 Applications?
 Have you tried opening CCC from select CCC in Applications then go to File  
 Open?
 
 Shirt Pocket’s $38 SuperDuper 
 http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html and 
 Bombich Software’s $46 Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/—stand 
 above the rest. Each has a long history, focuses on cloning, presents a 
 simple and clear user interface, and includes unusual features that make it 
 an especially good choice for creating and maintaining bootable duplicates.
 
 Carbon Copy Cloner automatically archives the Recovery HD volume that is 
 associated with your source volume to a disk image. This archive can later be 
 restored to another Recovery HD volume, and CCC's Disk Center also offers the 
 ability to create a new Recovery HD volume on another disk.
 
 SuperDuper does not backup the Recovery HD Volume.

iMovie

[John Thompson]

Good Morning members,

Just a small query.

For some years I have been making short personal movies from a bunch of 
short clips,either personally shot or downloaded, using iMovie.  This has 
worked quite well in the past, allowing to cut, clip, title and re-arrange but 
with the later versions of iMovie it is nowhere as simple as it has been some 
years ago.

Is there any new documentation I can obtain to use with the latest 
version?  Software does not come with full instructions anymore.

Thank you and hope to catch up with some of you later today.

Regards

Re: Safari problem

[John Thompson]

Hi Ronni,
Thanks for the info and don’t fret about not replying earlier,  it has 
been a very busy time for all.  Actually, my Wife and I took off for a week at 
Jurien just after I posted my last request so couldn’t do much about the 
problem anyway.

Thing are now, thanks to your assistance, going fine.  It just took the old 
computer about two and a half hours to download, install and update the system 
and Safari is now back in business.

Thanks again and all the very best for the year and beyond.

 Hi John,

 end and then somehow I was remiss and didn't get back to you :(
 
 Boot to the recovery partition and reinstall the OS (This will ONLY reinstall 
 the core system and its Apps. Including Safari.  No personal data will be 
 lost)
 
 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.
 
 Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet 
 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
 
 Detailed instructions:
 Boot from your Recovery HD partition by restarting your Mac while holding 
 down the Command+R keys. 
 The OS X Utilities window appears. Select Reinstall OS X, and click Continue. 
 The OS X Yosemite splash screen appears. Click Continue. 
 A sheet appears informing you that your computer’s eligibility needs to be 
 verified by Apple. Click Continue to begin the process of installing or 
 reinstalling OS X. 
 If you’re not connected to the Internet, you’ll be asked to choose a Wi-Fi 
 network from the AirPort menu in the top-right corner. 
 The Yosemite software license agreement screen appears. Read it and click 
 Agree. 
 A sheet drops down, asking whether you agree to the terms of the license 
 agreement. Yes, you did just click Agree; this time you’re being asked to 
 confirm that you indeed clicked the Agree button. 
 If you don’t click Agree, you can’t go any farther. 
 Choose the disk on which you want to reinstall OS X by clicking its icon once 
 in the pane where you select a disk.
 If only one suitable disk is available, you won’t have to choose; it will be 
 selected for you automatically. 
 Click the Install button. 
 A sheet asks for your Apple ID and password. Type them in the appropriate 
 fields; click Sign In, and your Yosemite installation reinstallation) begins. 
 The operating system takes 30 to 60 minutes to install. When the install is 
 finished, your Mac restarts itself. 
 If you were reinstalling Yosemite on the hard disk that it was originally 
 installed on, you’re done now. 
 Your Mac will reboot, and in a few moments you can begin using your new, 
 freshly installed (and ideally trouble-free) copy of OS X Yosemite.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Apple ID

[John Thompson]

For some reason, App Store/Software Update will not accept my Apple ID and 
password (which also are my iCloud ID and password - seems to be the standard 
thing) when I try to update/upgrade my software and system.  It continually 
comes back with the incorrect Apple ID showing, one that is very similar but 
with a small error, and will not accept the password.  This has lead, during 
the last several days, to my being compelled to reset my Apple ID and password 
numerous times.  Each time it must be a new password that has not been used in 
the last twelve months.  I am running out of options.

Is there any way I can get Apple to accept the new settings?  Each time I do 
reset it comes back with same old error ID.  Getting very sick of this Cloud 
nonsense.

when I try to update/upgrade from the App Store.  When I click on update, a 
screen pops up requesting I ‘Sign in to download from the App Store’.  This 
screen as where the incorrect Apple ID is already inserted, greyed and 
uncorrectable appears.  The error is a transposition of two characters in the 
first part of my Apple ID and no password is acceptable.  When I innate the App 
Store or Software Update directly it accepts my correct ID until I attempt to 
actually update items.  I am unsure how this error occurred, possibly my own 
finger troubles typing initially, but there is no record of the incorrect ID in 
my Keychain or anywhere else I can find on the computer.

Until this issue is fixed, I can not update or upgrade.

Regards

John

 Is there any way I can get Apple to accept the new settings?  Each time I do 
 reset it comes back with same old error ID.  Getting very sick of this Cloud

Re: Apple ID

[John Thompson]

Thanks again Ronni,
I have been down that track several times before but obviously, without 
great success.  I will, as a last resort, try the contact Apple Support line 
and hope for the best.

 Hi John,
 
 Ok, this sounds like you have purchased Apps using the 'Old' incorrect Apple 
 ID at some time.
 This means apps are associated with your old Apple ID.
 If you have downloaded apps from the App Store using your 'Old' Apple ID you 
 won’t be able to update using the new Apple ID.
 All apps are forever tied to the AppleID under which they were purchased. 
 
 Go to the link below and follow the instructions and choose Forgot your 
 Apple ID
 Fill in the information in the resulting page and Apple will find it for you 
 and help you reset your password.
 
 http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
 
 If not successful you might need to contact Apple Support to sort this out.
 The link to contact Apple Support is on the page above -  Get Help  contact

Re: Apple ID

[John Thompson]

Hi Ronni,
Many thanks for getting back on this one.  You are correct, I no longer 
have access to the old email address but will try to work through your 
suggestions.  Up to now I have had no success but will keep trying.  I am 
currently using iOS 7 and will not be in a hurry to upgrade to 8 at this time.

 The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great follow-up 
 information for once you've changed your Apple ID:
  
 Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
  
 For iCloud on an iOS device it recommends the following:
 iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings  iCloud.
 
 If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID 
 to sign in. 
 The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
 
 If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
 Scroll down and tap Delete Account. 
 Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm 
 that you want to delete data from your device. 
 
 To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned 
 on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter 
 the password, then tap Turn Off.) 
 The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
 Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. 
 The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

 Ronni

Re: Apple ID

[John Thompson]

Thanks again for all your help Ronni.  I have just now been successful and 
updated the iPhone and iPad.  The old password for the previous account was 
hidden in 1Password (a brilliant app) but the date shown, being after my email 
change, tricked me into ignoring it.  All systems now working as before but 
still not ready to upgrade to iOS 8.  Will wait a while to see how many more 
bugs come to the fore.

Re: Safari PDF problem

[John Thompson]

Thanks for the response Ronni.

I did try the saving/exporting in all the various ways you outlined but without 
success.  Your second email suggestion, to remove /Library/Internet 
Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin” appears to be the answer as the offending file 
has now been saved successfully sung Safari.  Have no idea how that particular 
plug-in managed to get into the system, obviously one of Adobe’s little tricks 
to catch the unwary.

 Also check you don't have AdobePDFViewer.plugin
 Look for the file:
 /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
 and remove it.
 
 Ok I am out of here now, have a job I must go to.

Re: Safari PDF problem

[John Thompson]

Thanks Peter.  I will try to keep that in what little mind I have for future 
Adobe Reader updates (unfortunately, at the moment we have to keep using Adobe 
Reader for Flash files).

 I did try the saving/exporting in all the various ways you outlined but 
 without success.  Your second email suggestion, to remove /Library/Internet 
 Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin” appears to be the answer as the offending 
 file has now been saved successfully sung Safari.  Have no idea how that 
 particular plug-in managed to get into the system, obviously one of Adobe’s 
 little tricks to catch the unwary.

 John 
 
 When you install or update Adobe Reader, the option to make Reader the 
 default PDF viewer is turned on by default. Leaving this on (it's just a 
 simple checkbox) causes Reader to install the plugin. It is very easy to 
 forget to turn the option off before proceeding with the installation/update.

 Hi All
 
 I just learnt last night of the passing of Merv Bond, a regular on the 
 WAMUG list, as he passed away unexpectedly last month.
 So just thought I would let the list know for those who knew of him, as he 
 also did a lot of volunteer work for his local parish as well.
 
 R.I.P Merv.

 Just adding to Daniel's reply below - Re: Mavericks- Migrating From a Windows

 It will be faster if you use Ethernet 
 Make sure the PC and the Mac are on the same Wi-Fi or (better yet) Ethernet

 I will email you Offlist a 3 page PDF I have created  'Migrate From A

 which you might find a helpful addition with also reading the Apple Support

 Hi Pete
 
 If your Windoze machine is on the same network, you can actually just 
 migrate from it to the Mac. It will transfer your data, but none of your 
 Applications obviously. Basically, long story short, all the Windoze My 
 folders will go to the equivalent Mac folders (e.g. My Pictures goes to 
 Pictures, My Documents goes to Documents. Desktop to Desktop, My Music to 
 Music. So the iTunes library will just be there already.
 This is generally the easiest way to get it all across.
 If you didn't want to do it that way, then you'd do the same manual type of 
 transfer as above (e.g. My Music on Windows to Music folder on the Mac). 
 When you open iTunes, it will just adjust it to be Mac friendly. But all 
 your music and playlists etc will be the same.
 I've done a few transfers for clients when supplying the new gear and 
 transferred it from their Windoze machines for them. Has (generally) been a 
 simple transfer. (sometimes with a bit of a clean up or manual transfer on 
 top just for things missed or not gone to plan.) But overall quite easy.
 This link may help also -

 Hope that helps.

Re: Mavericks - Unhide the User Library Folder

[John Thompson]

Hi Ronni,
It appears that after using Terminal to find ~/Library, it now stays 
permanently in the User, or Home, folder.

Regards

John
On 29 Oct 2013, at 1:00 pm, Ronni Brown ro...@mac.com wrote:

 Hi Mavericks adoptees,
 
 Mavericks hides the user Library folder ( ~/Library) by default, just as Lion 
 and Mountain Lion do. 
 You can open it easily enough by holding down Option while choosing Library 
 from the Finder’s Go menu, or you can use Terminal.app and type the command  
 chflags nohidden ~/Library (without the quotes) and hit Enter and your User 
 Library shows in Finder.
 
 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.
 
 I would imagine Mavericks will behave the same way Mountain Lion  Lion do; 
 so ever time an update appears (10.9.1 or 10.9.2), the User Library will be 
 re-hidden and you'll have to repeat this procedure... but it will be much 
 quicker than having to go into Terminal every time after each update to the 
 OS to have ~/Library folder visible all the time.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Lost Mailoboxes

[John Thompson]

I recently upgraded to Mavericks, following all the proper procedures.  
Everything went well with a total download/instal time of around 2 hours.  All 
software appears to work fine however, I have just noticed that a lot of my 
Mailboxes have disappeared and only the most recently used boxes remain.  Can I 
rebuild from Time Machine or my backup external drive?

 Hi John,
 
 When you first opened Mail after upgrading to Mavericks, did you allow Mail 
 to 'Update’?
Did not notice an Update request
 
 Exactly what Mail Boxes are missing? 
Quite a lot of personal boxes, some that have not been used for some time but 
still contain material that I access from time to time.
 
 Do you have SMART MAILBOXES and every MAILBOX other than ON MY MAC
 No ON MY MAC (greyed) under MAILBOXES”?
Don’t have any ‘Smart Mailboxes’ activated and all the existing mailboxes  are 
under ‘MAILBOXES'
 
 When you place your cursor near ICLOUD or any of the MAILBOXES  (greyed) that 
 are showing... do you see 'Hide' to the right of it?
None of the existing boxes are greyed and hovering seems to have no response.
 
 You can't Rebuild a Mailbox that is not showing, you have to select it to 
 Rebuild.
