[Derek Perry]

Hi All,
Updated from 10.6.7 with combo update overnight to 10.6.8, it took about 40 
minutes in all, so far no problems have arisen, I followed Ronda's instructions 
to the letter.

Re: PDF printing

[Rob Davies]

Morning,

PDF/X will strip much from document as it is designed to pass through a 
prepress device without hassle.
Annotations, Javascript, Encryption, Fonts have to be embedded, Trapping 
explicit, ETC...
Specification for PDF/X
http://goo.gl/g5fjA

My experience from print window if you "save as PDF" it will produce a preview 
with current printer settings.

Cheers!

 Hi Bill,
 
 Not sure I can help but what do you mean by poor quality? Is it that 
 the text badly laid-out or is it that he individual letters are rough?
 
 Could it be that you have your printer set to draft quality?

This is the payoff for "winning" the NBN contract. You'll note that Internode, 
who was very vocal in opposition to the filter, has been all but shut out of 
the NBN.

Conroy needs the Family First loonies to support Labor to retain government. 
This is what it cost.

Re: Problems after update

[Barry Sexstone]

Good Morning Again Ronni

All has been running without problems for a week now so I am reasonably happy 
the problem is solved.
Although I have a reasonable backup scheme it is a worry when something mis 
behaves as where does one restore to if the computer is suspect? 
In due course I may have managed to solve the problem myself, but it is always 
of great help to have some-one more knowledgable to suggest the path down which 
to go, otherwise an enormous amount of time can be wasted trying various things 
in the wrong order.
Very many thanks for your help and thanks to others for their input.

Barry

Re: Permissions problems after installing 10.6.8 update

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Matt,

I have re-read your post. You repair permissions on your System Volume (on the 
Mounted Drive -Your Startup Volume - Macintosh HD) 
NOT the WDC WD101EADS-65L5B1 Media.
Repair Permissions only works properly when performed on the startup volume, 
not the Main Drive.

To repair disk permissions:

1.  Open Disk Utility on a currently running Mac by opening 
/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
2.  Select the system volume you wish to repair from the column on 
the left.
3.  Select the First Aid tab to the right.
4.  Click the Repair Disk Permissions button to view and fix any 
permission problems.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Permissions problems after installing 10.6.8 update

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Matt,

There is nothing for you to worry about here. They are not actually errors; 
it’s just the Permissions database hasn’t been updated for the OS yet. 
And you can disregard any that begin with l, as in should be lrwxr-xr-x , they 
are lrw-r—r— 

The l before the Permissions is a Unix symlink, somewhat like an alias; it just 
means some components have been moved to a different location, but the old 
database is still being used. 
They are not errors. They can not be "repaired." There is nothing to repair. 

There is nothing you can do to “fix” the “problems” because there is no problem 
to fix. As far as the permissions database knows, that is supposed to be the 
actual file, not a link to the file (the l in lrwxr-xr-x). 
If Apple updates something but doesn’t update the repair permissions database 
to reflect the change, it will post the note you see (or something similar). 

Even though it says “repaired,” it isn’t because it can’t be. 
There is nothing wrong; it’s just different. 

They are not truly errors. Note that they begin with “User differs” or 
“Permissions differ.” Those are simply alert messages.
Same with those containing SUID. Ignore them. They won’t go away and will 
appear every time you repair permissions. 
They cause no harm.

Have a glass of red, put your feet up and relax, you are ok ;-)

Ronni

Permissions problems after installing 10.6.8 update

[Matt Falvey]

Hi I have just ran the 10.6.8 update and strictly followed Ronni's  Combo 
Update list.

I have just got to Step No. 7. Repair permissions and ran it and had loads and 
loads of events on it. They seemed to be mainly related to two of the three 
Software updates that I ran in Step No 6 Run Software Update, those are: 
Airport Utility and Java.

Anyway the final note was Warning: SUID file 
"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ArdAgent"
 has been modified and will not be repaired.

Followed by Permissions Repair Complete.

This was run on the actual disc WDC WD101EADS-65L5B1 Media.  

As it seemed as if the  SUID file, whatever it is, had not been repaired, I ran 
Repair Disk Permissions again expecting it to deal with just it and let me know 
if it could fix it or not.  Instead it went through another 8 or so minutes of 
similar repairs to the files, I would say identical, but I did not record them 
but the system seemed to concentrate on Airport Utility and Java and changing 
-rw-rw-r-- to -rw-r--r-- or lrwxr-xr-x to -rw-r--r-- and ended up again with 
the same warning. Now I know nothing of what the Permission repairs is trying 
to achieve, but if it has already done it once, why did it have to do it again?

Well, as I was still get the Warning message, I thought I might try and repair 
the permissions on the HD instead.  So I ran Repair on the HD, well it told me 
it was going to take 8 minutes, but took a lot less time, still gave me loads 
of Airport Utility and Java errors of the type mentioned above and finished 
again with the same SUID warning.

What do I do?  Do I keep repairing permissions 'till I get no errors?  Or do I 
presume that the statement "Permissions Repair Complete" is a fact, even though 
I know it is not, as each subsequent running of it has shown me?

What does the SUID file warning mean? It has been modified, does that mean it 
is broken? Will not be repaired, does that mean it is not necessary to repair? 
Does anyone have any idea what it does and how it would have become modified?

Thanks.

Matt Falvey.

Hi Wendy,

In System Preferences > Trackpad … you do have One Finger: “Tap to Click” & Two

I think you have a conflicting setting enabled somewhere.

And yes, it is blxxdy cold over here 13.6℃, and as you know that is far too 
cold for Ronni (who doesn’t thaw out until 30℃)

Hi Wendy

Also check in System Preferences - Exposé & Spaces. (under Exposé tab).
Half way down the page on the right hand side you can set the Right click
etc there as well. (As well as in Mouse and Trackpad).
Change all those to "-"

Check there also.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Rotating text in Preview & excel analysis pak

[Chris Burton]

Hi Ronni and Philippe

Thanks very much for your very helpful advice and links. I will get to and 
check them out, and let you know how it goes.

Philippe yes I found similar sites that say Microsoft expects us to use an LE 
version of StatPlus: Mac. Im not sure about it but will use at the last resort 
after I look at Ronni's suggestions.

Kind regards

Chris

RE: DNLA servers

[Hugh Griffiths]

Thanks for suggestions, but although it has an ethernet port, it doesn’t seem 
to be a “smart” tv in the sense it can actually browse the internet on its own. 
It  is a  generation before true smart tv’s in that it utilises the dlna 
technology.

Hi Hugh

If it is a 'Smart Tv' you should be able to connect it to the Internet using a 
wifi USB dongle or via the Ethernet port.

A DLNA server is only required to stream the media from your computer, or other 
compatible device, to your tv.

Once the tv is connected to the internet, depending on the tv of course,  you 
should be able to access services such as ABC's iView, various 'apps' and a 
browser.

Hi, Hugh

It really depends on what you wanted to do and what devices you need it to work 
with. As certain software packages are best designed for certain devices like 
the Sony PlayStation or at Microsoft Xbox.

DNLA is mostly referenced with TV"s and most server software that you will find 
on the Mac only support certain models of certain brand TVs You might have some 
better luck searching for "DLNA UPnP AV Servers Mac" But if you give me some 
more information on what you want to do I should be able to give you a good 
recommendation as I've tried several different software packages on Mac OS X 
over the last few years.

Here are some useful links
