Cheers for that Blitto So simple it's done One of the many ways I love Apple. And this this user group. Thanks also Ronnie, this site will be staying on MobileMe for awhile until it is finished. I am building this while I slowly wean my lovely other half away from the dark side. The site she has was built using photoshop and dreamweaver and to buy the complete CS4 suite will cost me more than the 24 iMac I intend to buy for her.

Re: iphone and gmail
Hi Adam You can only get push notifications for mail/calendar/contacts through mobileme. All the other accounts are fetch only at the moment. This may change with the updates that are coming soon, you will be able to nominate which apps run in the background. On your iPhone if you go to settings/fetch new data and select every 15 minutes it will look for emails more often, even if mail is not open. They warn you that if you fetch more frequently you will use more of your data plan but with your 1GB it will not be a problem. I use 3G almost all the time for everything and never got close to the 1GB limit. I also have the google app and have been unable to log on to gmail with it. That should not be a problem if you already have gmail set up though mail. hope this helps cheers Peter F On 23/05/2009, at 6:52 PM, Adam Hewitt wrote: Could someone please tell me, does the 'push' email require you to have Mail open to receive it?

As for being able to convert AVCHD from a camcorder to the mac sounds even better. Just remember the higher the quality, the larger the file size and the longer it will take to convert/edit. Which camera, from personnel experience don't get JVC. I bought a GZ- HD7 a little over a year ago and they are not compatible with Mac. You mentioned whale work so I am guessing you may get a little wet at times. The Sanyo that Martin has suggested would great for working on the surface but if going a little deeper than that you will need a proper underwater housing and for that I would recommend Sony. If you drop in to the local dive shop in Busso and pick up a free copy of the Dive Log magazine you will find lots of ads for camera equipment. Be prepared though the cost of the housing will be 2 or 3 times more than the cost of the camera good luck and I hope we get to see some great whale shots regards Peter F -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Hi Walter, I must admit I had not actually used this application I only remembered seeing it on silvermac and thought, what a good idea as the dock can become very cluttered sometimes. I went back and downloaded it. Once downloaded, drag it into the apps folder and immediately it placed an icon in the task bar. Clicking on that opened it, I went to preferences, clicked on new and it created a new dock. New dock 1 and New dock 2 Once you have created the new dock you can add and remove items as you please. There is also many more options available as in 2D,3D and alignment and position. The docks can be accessed by the shortcuts command 0 and command 1 hope this helps cheers Peter F On 23/11/2008, at 5:03 PM, F.W.

It doesn't have to be separated from other text. Data Detectors look for strings of characters that might be dates, times, names, phone numbers, or physical addresses. Data Detectors are smart in that they look not only for specific matches (“June 7, 2008” or “12:15 P.M. to 1:45 P.M.

Re: Update to 10.5.5
Hello Peter, In general, run Repair Permissions after installing or upgrading software. To be accurate, it doesn’t actually repair permissions. Rather, it simply resets permissions. Permissions stay the way they are set until someone or something comes along and sets them another way. Extract from 'Take Control of Maintaining your Mac': In Mac OS X, each file contains information specifying which users(or parts of the system) can read it, modify it, or execute it. This information is collectively known as permissions. If a file has incorrect permissions, it can cause applications to misbehave in various ways,such as crashing or failing to launch. Ordinarily, installers set the correct permissions for the files they install, and the permissions stay that way permanently. However, a poorly written installer can mess up permissions—even for files it did not install—and if you use Unix commands such as chown and chmod, you can accidentally set files’ permissions incorrectly. These sorts of problems occur infrequently, but they do occur. The Repair Permissions feature looks for certain software installed using Apple’s installer, which leaves behind files called receipts that list the locations and initial permissions of all the files in a given package. Repair Permissions compares the current permissions to those listed in the receipts and, if it finds any differences, changes the files back. The command ignores software installed in other ways (using a different installer or drag-and-drop installation, for instance) and knows nothing about legitimate permission changes you may have made deliberately. Cheers, Ronni Cheers Ronnie, Thanks for that ... I will make sure that I do that after this next update. Have I got this right, Go to utilities, select Macintosh HD, click Repair Dick Permissions regards Peter -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Especially With Snow Leopard due for release in early 2009. To accommodate the enormous amounts of memory being added to advanced hardware, Snow Leopard extends the 64-bit technology in Mac OS X to support breakthrough amounts of RAM ―up to a theoretical 16TB, or 500 times more than what is possible today. More RAM makes applications run faster, because more of their data can be kept in the very fast physical RAM instead of on the much slower hard disk.

Re: WTB Photoshop
Kevin My other half is still using photoshop 7 over on the dark side and I have just received my copy PS elements 6 and it is all they say it is . Works very well and does everything I could possible ask for and even has some features PS7 doesn't regards Peter On 02/04/2008, at 9:17 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi Kevin I don't know if this helps, or if you're specifically after Photoshop for a certain feature, but have you considered Photoshop Elements? It does all the things (well maybe not all, but most of the things) that Photoshop does, but without the same price tag. It's a consumer cut down version if you like. Still does most things that most people want but at a fraction of the price. Oh, and it's native so it runs really well on Intel Mac's! :o) For more info have a look at the following:- http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/photoshopelmac/ I sell this normally for $139. Hope that helps. Email me if you want more info. Thanks! Kind Regards Daniel On 2/4/08 6:15 AM, KEVIN Lock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am after a copy of Photoshop 7 which will run on an Intel iMac.
