Re: macros

2005-08-16 Thread Muddle Man 
I had an iBook G3 900 for 18 months. Within that 18
months it broke THREE times. Logic board each time. It
was under the video card recall the first time. The
second time I had to pay the full cost of the repair
(no AppleCare, $350 flat fee). The logic board died
again on the 88th day of the 90 day warranty from the
2nd repair. I got it repaired a third time then sold
it! Good riddens. I was really, really, really angry
and considered becoming a turncoat and going with a PC
laptop. Once the anger cleared and I could think, I
got a 12" PB G4 1.5. It is awesome and I wish I'd done
it sooner! No more iBooks for me. My wife has a 12"
iBook. We'll see what happens.

Re: best photo organizer

2005-08-16 Thread Claire Hart 
I've had my last three attempted replies to this list bounce.  It  
says "Your message cannot be posted.  It has the content-type:  
multipart/alternative, and this list accepts plain text only."  I'm  
only doing a simple reply.  I'm not pasting anything in.  Is it a  
Tiger thing?  (I just upgraded yesterday.)  Anyway, I will write a  
new post, rather than doing a reply.


By way of reminder, I'm the one trying to save photos from iPhoto to  
CD, but iPhoto keeps filing them for me in folders that are numbered  
by year, then within the years by month, and then within the months  
by day.


To the two who suggested that I drag my photos to a CD and then burn  
the CD, or drag the photos to a folder, and burn that, I will tell  
you that I have tried to do that.  However, my group of 1100+ photos  
is actually a compilation of photos taken by 7-8 families over the  
course of a basketball season.  Everyone took their photos to Wal- 
Mart or Walgreens and then gave me the CD of their photos, and  
several times throughout the year as well.  As a result, these photos  
often have duplicate numbering systems.  So when I try to save them  
all at once, I am told that "a photo already exists with that name,  
and do I want to replace it?"  I tried that once, and ended up with  
around 600 photos, so that means that about 500 of them are somehow  
duplicates.


My PC son says there's an automatic way to renumber into a  
consecutive series a group of photos, files, whatever, that are  
grouped into one folder.  If I could do that, then I could burn all  
of these photos without using iPhoto to do it.


I am also experimenting with EasyShare, which is a free download from  
Kodak.  However, I cannot figure out how to transfer, import, export,  
drag or drop the photos from iPhoto to EasyShare.  EasyShare  
automatically found and imported about 80 photos that I had elsewhere  
on my hard drive, but there doesn't seem to be a "bridge" available  
to move the photos from iPhoto.  (I have sent an email to their  
customer service asking this question as well, but it takes 24  
hours...)  A Mac friend suggested EasyShare because he likes to share  
photos with his Windows family members.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Claire

I'm not sure about a direct answer to your question, but if I were  
going to take one (or a few) photos to a commercial photo place (or  
even to the grocery store's kiosk) I think it would be simpler to  
copy them over to a USB flash drive. They come in sizes from about

Just my two cents ...

MacStubler is just a sniffer. A beefier version of the Airport menu.

JiWire is a database of wireless hotspots. I think JiWire's db is

a phonebook for APs.


I can't help with not seeing the value of a slim widget to replace a

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA

2005-08-16 Thread Karen Thompson 
I think it is disgusting when students are not given the opportunity to
explore different operating systems. And yes, it is the IT staff that have
no imagination or inclination to learn another OS. They are biased and just
plain lazy. I'm sure there are some out there who would jump at the
opportunity to learn something other than Windoze.

What is definitely puzzling to me is the Mac systems were taken out of
graphic design labs. The college offers an AA in communication arts. In the
real world about 85% of design studios and print shops use Mac systems. How
does that prepare the student for the industry? It doesn't. Of course, when
I went to college, there were no computers. We did everything by hand,
including lettering. The good old days of paste-up with mylar, wax and Xacto
knives. And then there were the Vari-typer machines that preceeded our
modern computers for typesetting. I much prefer our technology of today but
wish those who don't do the work, don't make the decisions of the tools
professionals use.

As for that B&W computer, talk to the lab personnel. Maybe you can make a
deal and free up that space for yet another Windoze machine.

If you're not close enough to "see" it with your airport, you won't

CBS even did a story about it on the national news at 6:30. said 
there was over 5000 people, and even had some footage of them opening 
the gates. The problem was it was held at the race way, and the 
building was not close to the gate they opened so everyone went running 
for the building..

Re: macros

2005-08-16 Thread Aase 

Hi Claire,

Having used OS 9 until New Year's, I am embarrassed to admit that I 
never used this function (it rings familiar in my ears, so I guess I 
knew about it, but...)... How silly, this sounds really sensible to 
use, especially for "people like me", I guess - who have joint 
problems... I use other keyboard shortcuts, like e.g. Option+C for 
copy etc., but that's it... I would be very interested in hearing 
about possibilities for doing this under OSX. I will be upgrading to 
Tiger soon too.


I just got my iBook back for the 3rd time, having been without it 
alltogether for around 4 months, because of that "little backlight 
problem". The last time Apple said that the company that does repairs 
for them, hadn't replaced all the parts they should have, so they 
needed one more chance, but their normal practice was that if a 
computer had not been fixed on 3 tries, the customer should get a new 
one. Now I got it back, and see they changed the logiboard only, 
which they did before, so I can't help but wonder, if it will last 
this time. I also discovered that they screen is separated from it's 
"frame", so it needs to go back. And I really don't feel like letting 
them have it again, God knows how long it will take, and I am sick 
and tired of it all. Plus the loaner they finally gave me this last 
time (after waiting for 3 weeks, never offered me one before), was 
kind of crappy (pardon my french, but I don't find only working a 
little in iPhoto with 3-4 pics before it crashes, too much fun)... 
Well, I mailed the company, and guess I will be calling Apple 
tomorrow, so we'll see... Hopefully I can soon feel that I can really 
get going using MY wonderful "new" iBook, with everything in order 
and working and learning to enjoy OS X properly (instead of moaning 
over having to use a mess of a PC or an awful old PB loaner without 
airport and way too little RAM)... That company has had this iBook 
more time than I have since I bought it...


Oh shoot, now this will probably be too long... And sorry, didn't 
mean to dump this on you and the rest, guess I more or less blurted 
it out, can you tell I have had it?


Good luck with the shortcuts, hope it works out!!!


AaseM. :)

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

So far, no new updates from the folks who make it. I'm
considering buying SuperDuper for $20 to replace CCC.


I am also a long-time CCC user but have now switched to SuperDuper.

It's as easy (or easier) to use as CCC and has the added advantage of 
being much faster when "smart updating" (synching) an already cloned 
drive (maybe also when doing the initial clone, but I haven't timed 
it). With CCC, it used to take me about 45-50 minutes to synch 
roughly 22 GB; with SD it's about 15-20. Support via the online 
discussion forum, which the developer constantly monitors and 
contributes to, is excellent.

Re: best photo organizer

2005-08-16 Thread Muddle Man 
I found this happened to me as well. It happens when
you use iPhoto's built in burn function. It's actually
burning an iPhoto library to be imported into another
iPhoto. You can get around this by selecting the pics
you want and then dragging them on to the CD. Once
copied, the burn will be the real pics and not an
iPhoto library.

considering buying SuperDuper for $20 to replace CCC.
For now, I boot an external hard drive with 10.3 on it
just so I can clone with CCC.

Portfolio 7 [Was: Best photo organizer]

  I bought Portfolio 7.

Now I am in the process of trying to catalog my files and it is a 
struggle (anybody on the list who uses it and is willing to help a

almost non existent and when I query their "knowledge base" I get a 
listing of every article in it. I have not found a user's forum so 
at this point no help seems to be available.


I have considered selling my copy on eBay and absorbing the loss, 
but now have decided to keep working at it. Needless to say, I would 
not recommend Portfolio. And advice to others is to start now with 
something--don't wait until you have thousands of images.


I have found Portfolio Desktop Edition 5.0.2 (running in Classic 
under 10.4.2) to be very intuitive and easy to use. I have been 
recently planning to upgrade to the latest OS X version but your

Could you be more specific about the problems you are having?

Thank you,

I basically did the same thing just yesterday evening (night). After trying
to copy some huge files from my internal startup partition to an external
FireWire drive and getting Finder errors about problems reading/writing some
files, I fired up my Tiger install DVD, rebooted and launched Disk Utility.
I selected my startup partition and did a disk verification. Of course, Disk
Utility found problems. I then went to repair the disk. Disk Utility started
again, found the problem and attempted to repair it, which it did not!
Moreover, it left my partition in such a state that it wouldn't mount
anymore! I had a backup from about 2 weeks ago, when I left for vacation,
but since I used my PowerBook while in vacation, I didn't want to lose what
I had, particularly emails.

So, I went to the Alsoft website and purchased DiskWarrior online. I was
able to download the application, installed it on my Tiger backup and fired
it up. I initially got a strange error message because I initially didn't
install it in /Applications/Utilities where the application expects to be.
Anyway, once I figured it out, I put it where it belongs and launched it. I
was afraid I would not be able to select my internal startup partition but
there it was. So, I clicked the repair button and after a few minutes of
work (15-20 minutes maybe), it reported that it had found the problem and
successfully fixed it. It was a problem with some directory structure, no
bad block or something like that. My partition was now mounted so I launched
Disk Utility and had it verify the disk. It didn't report any problem, so I
rebooted from it and all has been fine so far. The total cost was $87.90.

I've seen many good praises for DiskWarrior and I did mention many times
that I've never had to use such a tool but I have now to admit after using
Mac OS X for 4 years that it was a welcome help and savior. Kudos to Alsoft!

Back to the original question, after I successfully booted from my internal
startup partition and checking that everything was fine, I proceeded to
duplicate it on my external FireWire disk using Carbon Copy Cloner. There is
a documented problem with CCC under Tiger and if you try to launch it under
your own user ID, you will get some error message. Knowing this, I launched
it with 'Pseudo' under root and was able to duplicate my startup partition
without any problem.

When you organize scanned photos in iPhoto do they all show up as the 
date you scanned them? The program has no way of knowing when the 
photo was taken.
My sister is starting in on a pile of family slides and was asking 
about what program to use.




You're right --no way to tell the date taken and that is a different 
problem unless you are the person who meticulously dates slides and 
negatives--that's not me. And you do get the date "created"--the date  
scanned or if a CD--the date digitized. The first step I take before 
scanning is to manually sort and attempt to date as best I can using a 
viewer and a light box.  It is a slow process but very rewarding when 
you see these those old images com e out of the scanner. I have a 
collection of about 50 years and then I  will work on the old family 
snapshots.





I'm inclined towards Graphic Convertor .
It has a "browser" function that displays thumbnails of all the images 
in a folder. You can move, delete, rotate or rename in the browser 
window. If you open an image there are more editing functions than I 
can figure out. It's shareware, free to try.


I can't help much with GC--I have it but never have learned it.  The 
key question--does it have a cataloging and find function based on key 
words --or as Brian said in an earlier post "using the directory/file 
path" words as keywords. If you don't have this ability, you end up 
just moving them around into different "shoeboxes". At this point, I 
have done about 4000 of my digital images and it is really neat to put 
in my granddaughter' name as the search keyword and see hundreds of her 
pictures sorted out which then can be sorted based on any of the file 
data such as date taken.
iPhoto does have editing functions (I use PhotoshopElements 3) but I 
don't use it. I recommend PE3--great support and user's forums etc.


Since I have put Portfolio down--I will commend them on the keyword 
process--you can do about anything you want with it and once I learned 
how (little help from them or manual)  it works very nicely. I use the 
file browser in PE3 to see what I am cataloging and what key words to 
use (otherwise you are working blind--working from numbers and file 
path info). The two work very nicely together.



I suppose I should poke around iPhoto and see if it has a similar 
"browser" function.

Does iPhoto offer much in the way of editing functions.


To my knowledge, iPhoto, is basically a browser--that is you can see 
all of your thumbnails by date/roll and if you used the keyword 
process--you can sort and find. Even though I used iPhoto for my 
digital collection--I had not been consistent with the keyword 
process--so now I'm doing it after the fact.



The couple of times I've opened iPhoto I've been put off by it's 
desire to take over the process but perhaps there's something in 
preferences that would allow me to browse existing folders.


I recommend you try it out--buy a book that is devoted to it and learn 
what it will do before putting more money into software.


I like iPhoto and have used it since inception, but I knew my needs 
were going to require something more. I would be happy to assist your 
sister if she desires it.

CCC & Tiger

2005-08-16 Thread Francesco sciacca 
I just tried to clone a fresh Tiger install upgraded tp 10.4.2 to make
myself a ready-to-go disk to use in emergency and I didn't succed. I then
used Disk Utility to create a disk image of the freshly installed Tiger
partition, then I burned it to DVD, all well. When it came to restore,
though, it appears to do the restore procedure, but eventually the target
partition is empty or does not appear in the startup disk preference pane.

Is CCC working properly with Tiger? If yes, is it necessary to clone a "just
installed" partition or should it be able to clone any partition as it was
the case with Tiger?

Same story for the disc image: anything I should take care of to suceed in
creating an emergency disc? It looks as I'm doing something wrong, but I
can't think of what. 

cheers,

Re: Looking for printer suggestions

I should have mentioned that I run OS 9.2.2 on my
Wallstreet. Looks like I would need to use my Powerprint v4.5 serial to

Has anyone used a powerprint cable with a

rebate on the Samsung ML-1740 is highly attractive.) 

If so, can you please tell me the printer

Anyway- to be clear- that's a rebate deal, but CC has been reliable with

I have not printed to this printer from less than OSX, but it should be

it's not postscript, but Samsung GDI, so rendering may be a little

The best strategy is two printers.  For excellent black and white text 
use a black and white laser printer.  There are nice consumer models 
out for $150 - $200 from HP and Brother.  For color, you may get by 
nicely with a cheaper color ink-jet.  The real cost over the years is 
for the ink-jet cartridges anyway.  HP and Canon Pixma series get 
consistently good reviews.  The Consumer Reports of May 2005 gives 
ratings on 17 ink-jets and 3 B&W lasers.  Machome magazine of Sep 2005 
has reviews of ink-jets.  Macworld.com has reviews on line and you can 
loads more at PC World and PC Magazine.  Google by brand name/model.

I have a network setup in my home and the Quicksilver 2002, wallstreet

I would suggest getting  an inexpensive hub to connect everything 
together and then just turn it on. Whoa not quite that simple. First 
go to this web page and read his networking article it will help you a 
lot. Just disregard the PC stuff. It is now doable with the included 
software in OS X. It is just a pain to get it configured right from 
the PC side to the Macintosh. The biggest problem the you will find is 
that you have to hard boot both machines for them to recognize each 
other on the network. If you still have problems after reading this

Re: Looking for printer suggestions

2005-08-16 Thread MacKenzie, Kerry N. 
Thank you Ron. I believe I have the Powerprint software, but if not your
offer is much appreciated and I'll be back! As I'm on a tight budget,
I'm now looking at either the Samsung suggested by Brian with its mega
rebate or an old HP as you suggest (I love the HPs my employer
uses--real workhorses.) 
All this info you've provided is so useful--I have a lot to learn.
Kerry



If you need high quality text, a laser printer is the only way to go.

With the PowerPrint cable you can use almost any printer. I have a
powerprint cable attached to an old HP Laserjet 4L(parallel) and it
works well for text. You can find older HP laserjets fairly cheap if
you are on a budget. With the Powerprint cable and software you can
use any HP parallel or mac serial laser printer and most other
parallel printers. HP made Mac serial LaserJets which were designated
with an "M" in the model number. ie: LaserJet 4ML instead of the 4L.
Same printer but with a serial port for Macs.

If you don't have the PowerPrint software I can send an older version
to you or show you where to download it. It's basically abandonware
now anyway. The newer PP software can be found on Ebay but is for USB
to parallel cables and may not work.

Or you can buy a new LaserJet as suggested but if you need quality
text stay away from inkjet printers. Inkjets eat ink and get really
expensive compared to a good Laser printer and the quality is not even
close.

Yes. The bare drive will fit a Wallstreet II module. I just replaced one.

No. The 1400 module will not fit in the Wallstreet II drive bay.

Either of these will should work, although filenames might not look as you 
expect, you should be able to figure out what is what.


You may run into file name restrictions, Toast 3.5.7 I think will tell you 
if some need renamed (shorter max filename, plus limits on non-standard 
characters exist). It's been ages since I used that Toast and I don't 
recall if it will burn >8.3 filenames but the Mac just doesn't display it, 
or what.


In a related issue, you may find this helpful if you are dealing with 
reading Windows CDs under 9.x and having problems.

Toast  3.5.7.  I acquired the YamahaCRW4416SX used just the burner, a disc
and some cables.  I have had to figure it all out on my own.  I can make CDs
for my self and my photo scrapbooking purposes but not for friends who of
course are all windows. I can make audio CDs...if I need to which I haven't
really had to.

> What format did you use for the disk?

Hmmm,  Mac Files and Folders...this is it, isn't it...under the format menu
I have these options, which one would I use to make a Kodak Kiosk ready
disc.

Mac Volume
Mac Files and Folders
ISO 9660
Mac/ISO Hybrid
Audio

Thanks Brian

Kristina

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?

2005-08-16 Thread G Henry Taylor 
My bad, replied before reading rest of mail. Better detailed answers 
than mine.

This works for me, but I have 10.3.9 on both machines.

Hope this helps,

looks like a firewire drive to the other machine. That would be the

pin firewire cable. Faster than a crossover ethernet cable.

Firewire disc mode? Unfortunately, I only have firewire on the iBook 
500,

and not on the Wallstreet II.

The Wallstreet II has USB, but only through a PCMCIA card which I have
inserted. . .

How would you recommend doing this with either an Ethernet crossover 
cable

or a pair of USB cables routed through a USB hub?

Alternatively, what else might I try?


All the best,

Dear List-mate,

How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and 
an
iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy 
files from

one to the other?

I got mine catalog'd by choosing to use the directory name as a  
source of keywords, in the ImageAXS Pro software I mentioned  
earlier.  That got everything linked with date created, month, year,

Since I had tried to put something meaningful as the directory name,  
even though all the images were still crptic.


Maybe there's a similar thing you can do with the software you bought?
