Re: [WAMUG] Which Email address?

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

As I understand the situation, IINET or WESTNET are the internet service 
providers and that won’t change. 
One isn’t obliged to use @ iinet or @ westnet.
I haven’t used those addresses for several years and I’m happy with all the 
apple addresses @me @ Mac @ iCloud.
Cheers

Re: [WAMUG] WAMUG General Meeting

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Thanks Maureen.
I’m interested to know if any member or member’s associate comes to households 
or communicates online to do maintenance. 
For example I have 25000 iPhotos and a bewildering number of old emails.
Kind regards

[WAMUG] Problem with replyingto emails in Apple Mail

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

I have an issue with Mail.
When I reply to an email, the text will not type normally, Initially the 
letters are bunched together, then instead of typing a letter, the next key 
brings up a text box and then another key moves to the image shown below within 
a box requesting  "markup “
I can do a work round by typing within the signature and then cut and paste, 
but it’s not one off and more than annoying.
Any solutions gratefully accepted.

Re: [WAMUG] Macbook Pro 2013 Retia 13" - Battery suspect

   I had this problem and took it to Macworx in Joondalup. They fixed it

 Hi there. I bought a Macbook Pro 2013 Retina 13” in 2013 (late). It
 has been and is still a reliable Macbook. It doesn’t get used for
 much but I do need it. A few months back I noticed the keyboard area
 beginning to bulge upwards and the keyboard alloy shell is deforming
 upwards. It still is working fine. I keep it on power all the time
 and rarely take it away from the power to use it for portability.
 Bulge is becoming more pronounced over time.

 My suspicion is the nearly 10 year old battery is expanding and
 pushing up the chassis from beneath the keyboard. I see some online
 DIY battery replacement procedures and I’ve done many other Macbook
 Air, Pro batteries before - but the Retina seems more complex,
 though not overly daunting for my relevant experience in doing these
 tasks. I could give it a go.

 Naturally I have backups all in order in the event of a disaster.

 Has anyone here done a 2013 MBP Retina 13” battery change - or would
 Apple even touch it?

 Comments please.

 Thanks in advance

 Peter Crisp.

Re: [WAMUG] October General Meeting

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Hi Maureen,
I noticed that the meeting addressed the topic “saving emails before deleting”.
I can’t attend meetings, but would be interested to know if there is recording 
or summary of the discussion for me to look at.
Kind regards

Re: [WAMUG] Fwd: Users Group Meeting

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Although I cannot participate in the meeting, I would like to know the best way 
to save all my current emails- just in case-then delete them (thousands) 
entirely from the severs. We have both gmail and apple mail accounts
Should you discuss that I’ll be keen to read the outcome.

Re: [WAMUG] September's General Meeting

Thanks for the Information.
I cannot attend meetings because I am  carer and needed during that time.
However I follow the queries submitted by members and I feel sure that the 
respondents provide the answers /solutions benefiting all.
Well done to the dedicated committee.

[Marcus Harris]

Thank you Daniel,
The prices of the iMac and iPad seem fair.
The iPad Pro is likely to be my next choice.

I am considering buying a MacBook Pro (2020) hoping to use my iMac27 as a screen.

[Marcus Harris]

Hello WAMUGERS,

I have an Apple 27 inch iMac  iMac10,1  Intel Core 2 Duo Speed:3.06 GHz
1 Processor: 2Cores: L2 Cache:3 MB Memory: 8 GB Graphics-ATI Radeon HD 4670, 
256 MB Storage 2TB HD 
System Software  macOS Sierra 10.13.6

It’s getting pretty slow now as it’s 11 years old and I think it may soon fail. 
macOS Sierra is the limit for it’s system capability.

But the screen is fine for my daily work.

I am considering buying an advertised MacBook Pro (2020) with a quad-core Intel 
processor and Magic Keyboard. 
8th-generation quad-core Intel core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
8 GB Ram 256GB SSD

Will I be able to plug it into my iMac 27 thereby using her as my desktop 
screen? 

If not then what is the next best option suggestion to allow me to plug into 
her screen?
Perhaps this is a crazy idea!

BY THE WAY, I use my Mac for writing essays, for spreadsheets, organising my 
photos , reference browsing and emailing. Nothing high end anymore as I’m now 
77.

I recently bought an iBookPro 12 with pencil for streaming, taking photos, 
reading and sketching. It’s a great Apple product.

Re: Music

[Marcus Harris]

Hi Pete,
This made me very curious.
So I went to iTunes and selected Music >“Store”
There music is sold. For example, Neil Young “Home Grown “ album for $19.99.
Or one can also buy individual tunes for $2.99.
Are you convinced that buying these tunes/albums has no extra benefit than 
streaming from Apple Music.
I am going to try and stick some of my bought music onto a thumb drive tomorrow 
and see if it plays on another non Apple device.
Cheers  
Marcus

Re: Music

[Marcus Harris]

Having read this, I now see that what I bought from iTunes has no extra benefit 
to an Apple Music Subscription.
I guess I paid good money for no extra benefit.
Bummer eh

Re: Music

Hi Pete,
Is that correct if you buy music  using iTunes, ie pay hard money for it vs 
renting through Apple Music?

Yes Ronni ,I thought that was the case. 
I have auto updates switched on.
Apple seems to have updates at very regular intervals this year.

Yes that is interesting, but do you Personally choose to instal AV software. 
I always update my Apple systems ASAP and expect to then be malware secure. 
Should I buy Norton as Al suggests?

Re: Extending win to cover black spots

[Marcus Harris]

Hi again, Robin, Peter H and Peter C,
I believe it would be fairly difficult for me to run a LAN line to the rear of 
my apartment because of the layout.
Therefore the consensus seems to be to purchase a Netgear Orbi mesh Wifi 
Extender.
I checked for retailers and they see to be readily available.
There are three offers and it looks like Home Mesh WiFi System 3-Pack (RBK23) 
is the choice.
Thanks for the help. 
I will let you know after purchase how much better the wifi works out.
Thanks again
Marcus

Thanks Robin,
I will carefully consider your suggestions and Peter Hinchliffes as well.
Let you know what I will do next week.
Many thanks

Extending win to cover black spots

[Marcus Harris]

Hello all at WAMUG, 

I live in a two storey apartment and I am connected to the NBN and my provider 
is iiNET.

My router/modem is a TP Link Archer VR 1600v— AC 1600  Wireless Dual Band

It is connected at the front door and broadcasts wifi ok to the middle of both 
levels but not to the rear of the either level

I decided to search for wireless range extenders and then came across power 
line adapter kits.
I found both items made by TP Link and available locally off the shelf.

My query is in parts.
Would those using range extenders recommend I buy one? And would it be a TP 
Link model again?
And then, would a powerline adaptor of a wireless range extender be the better 
choice.
Regards

Re: Too many passwords

[Marcus Harris]

For my twenty cents worth. I use Apple passwords for something like a social 
club but not for banking or broking. But I suspect even that’s over cautious as 
the master pass is the one to access the Apple device. Once in the Mac or iPad 
I should only need take care not to use a stranger’s wifi to bank.

Re: Unfortunate installation of Mojave on iMac

[Marcus Harris]

Hello Again Peter,
I restarted the iMac with Command R only.
This time I was able to instal High Sierra on the internal Drive (which wasn’t 
locked) and so far everything is OK.
Now to back up from Time Machine.
Thanks for your input
Marcus

Re: Unfortunate installation of Mojave on iMac

[Marcus Harris]

Thanks Peter,
I followed your procedure, however the internal master drive now named OSX Base 
System is locked. There’s no obvious way to unlock and instal MacOS this way.
By restarting using the backup external drive I can see OSX Base System drive 
as completely empty and First Aid read AOK.
Can I unlock it somehow using Disc Utility?
In a folder marked System sub folder CDIS there are possible ways to unlock and 
instal OSX, but I’m wary of trying without some more advice.
Cheers 
Marcus

Unfortunate installation of Mojave on iMac

[Marcus Harris]

Hello Wamugers,
This has possibly been answered before, if so please repeat again.
Without taking proper care I seem to have semi- installed Mojave on my iMac 
which is limited to operate on High Sierra.
I have OS 10.13.6 on a back up start up disk, so I have been able to use that 
to get my iMac running.
How may I reinstall OS 10.13.6 on the internal HD, which is now known as OSX 
Base System and devoid of any  installed software?
I have a separate HD which is the Time Machine.
It’s a 2009 dual core iMac with 8Gb Ram
Many thanks in advance

Re: CAN I UPGRDE TO MOJAVE FROM HIGH SIERRA

[Marcus Harris]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query.
My 2009 iMac is still running very well on MacOS High Sierra, therefore I’ll 
hang on for another year to Upgrade the hadware.
It’s a credit to Apple that aniMac just runs and runs with free upgrades.

  Processor Name:   Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:  3.06 GHz
  Number of Processors: 1

Take Control Series New Release

[Marcus Harris]

Hi WAMUGers,
For those interested, Take Control publisher Joe Kissell has written more than 
60 books about technology, including many popular Take Control books. He also 
runs Interesting Thing of the Day <https://itotd.com/> and is a contributing 
editor of TidBITS and a senior contributor to Macworld.
 
He sent me this email.

 

I’ve just updated my book Take Control of Apple Mail 
<https://alt.cc/mail-up-info> to its fourth edition, which now covers Mail in 
High Sierra, Sierra, and iOS 11. Among the hundreds of changes in the new 
edition are descriptions of the current workings of gestures, addressing, 
Markup, Handoff, and many other features. It also has updated recommendations 
for third-party plugins; helpful hints for filtering and finding messages; 
instructions for backing up, restoring, and importing email; suggestions for 
making attachments work better (both as sender and recipient), and updated 
troubleshooting tips. And it has has greatly expanded coverage of using Apple 
Mail on an iPhone or iPad.

I’m certainly not involved with Joe but I do buy his E books. They usually cost 
about $20 each.

Re: Anti virus software

[Marcus Harris]

Well, this is interesting as I haven’t used antivirus since buying my first 
Apple Mac in 1986. 
I thought the regular security updates from Apple were enough.
Presumably if one wasn’t SPAM aware a virus or similar could corrupt the 
system, otherwise do we really need AV?

What’s happening in Infinity Loop

[Marcus Harris]

Hi Treasurer and members,
I couldn’t see your personal email Peter, but I just now paid the annual subs 
as Marcus Harris 2018

Did members read that extensive article by Jack Hough in The Weekend Australian 
Dec30-31 Edition.
It’s entitled “The Trillion Dollar Mark could still be in  Reach”
It’s still online by googling “Jack Hough Apple".

With all that capital and all that brain power, I often wonder why there’s been 
nothing really adventurous in Apple Hardware since the iOS devices were 
launched by Steve.
And you would think that a Mac would have a touch screen by now. What’s 
happening in Infinity Loop?

>>> 
>>> Prepare to upgrade to macOS High Sierra 10.13
>>> 
>>> Make sure your computer can run High Sierra 
>>> iMac models from late 2009 or later
>>> MacBook models from late 2009 or later
>>> MacBook Pro models from mid 2010 or later
>>> MacBook Air models from late 2010 or later
>>> Mac mini models from mid 2010 or later
>>> Mac Pro models from mid 2010 or later
>>> 
>>> Here are the Mac’s Model Identifier:
>>> iMac10,1 or newer
>>> MacBook6,1 or newer
>>> MacBookAir3,1 or newer
>>> MacBookPro6,1 or newer
>>> Macmini4,1 or newer
>>> MacPro5,1 or newer
>>> 
>>> If your Mac isn’t on that list (or has an older model number), then 
>>> regardless of its age or speed, it won’t run High Sierra.
>>> 
>>> RAM
>>> High Sierra requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM, but more RAM 4GB - or more is 
>>> better for your Mac’s performance.
>>> 
>>> Firmware Updates
>>> Some Macs may require updated EFI or SMC firmware to run High Sierra. To 
>>> see if a firmware update is available, check this webpage 
>>> <https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201518>. Unless you previously hid them 
>>> from the list, firmware updates should also appear when you choose Apple  
>>> > App Store and click Updates (in Yosemite and later).
>>> 
>>> Free Disk Space
>>> Apple says that the High Sierra installer requires 14.3 GB of free storage 
>>> space to perform the upgrade (and that after the installation is finished, 
>>> High Sierra will occupy about 1.5 GB more than Sierra did). Although you 
>>> may be able to get away with exactly 14.3 GB free, you’ll do much better 
>>> starting at least 20+GB of Free Space (before downloading the installer). 
>>> Even more free space is better of course. Some High Sierra features will 
>>> require increasing amounts of disk space as you use them. 
>>> You need to have ‘room to grow’.
>>> 
>>> OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or Later
>>> In order to install High Sierra, your Mac must be running 10.8 Mountain 
>>> Lion or later.
>>> 
>>>  Update Your Third-party Software before installing High Sierra
>>> RoaringApps maintains a wiki listing hundreds of Mac and iOS apps and the 
>>> current status of their compatibility with various operating system 
>>> versions, as reported by users.
>>> If you are using Microsoft Office you can check Microsoft’s support article 
>>> for compatibility
>>> Microsoft Office support for macOS 10.13 High Sierra 
>>> <https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Microsoft-Office-support-for-macOS-10-13-High-Sierra-80bbd3cc-2412-4593-988a-1c5607b26b28>
>>> 
>>> Check your current Printer is compatible with High Sierra
>>> Update the Printer Drivers and Software to High Sierra compatible
>>> 
>>> BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
>>>  ‘Time Machine backup’ and a ‘Bootable Duplicate Backup’!
>>> 
>>> Test your Duplicate - you should test the duplicate to make sure it truly 
>>> is bootable before taking the plunge and upgrading to High Sierra.
>>> 
>>> Cheers,
