Adobe Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 Illustrator CS6 16.0.1 Updates
Hi WAMUG CS6 Users, Adobe Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 Adobe has released Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 with fixes for two critical security vulnerabilities that could lead to malicious code execution. According to aSecunia advisory, this buffer overflow vulnerability occurred during a boundary error when processing a PNG image. In addition to the security patch, the new release aims for better stability with fixes for 31 specific crashing issues, as well as provides a variety of fixes for 3D features plus Drawing and Graphics tools. ($699 new, $199 upgrade, free update, 7.9 MB via direct download, release notes) Adobe Illustrator CS6 16.0.1 Adobe has released Illustrator CS6 16.0.1 with a number of fixes to improve overall stability. The update resolves an issue with Illustrator unexpectedly quitting if you only have read-only permissions on the Preferences folder, ensures the Transform commands work as expected when using the Transform Patterns option, fixes the Save for Web command to correctly create images with specified dimensions, and more. Additionally, the new release should improve copying and pasting when working with a third-party clipboard manager. ($599 new, $249 upgrade, free update, 5.8 MB via direct download, release notes) Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Desktop Tidy App
Hi Peter H, This App might be one you would like to 'try out' :-) Desktop Tidy lets you hide and manage desktop files /Quote I like my desktop neat and tidy—not only does it look better, it keeps my iMac running more smoothly. I like it even more when things get cleaned up without my having to lift a finger, and Desktop Tidy (Mac App Store link) does just that. This handy utility tidies up your Mac’s desktop, keeping it free of clutter. It stores all the cleaned-up desktop files and folders in a hidden Shadow Desktop, which you can access from the menu bar or in the Finder.

Thank you Ronda, Susan Alex. I will try those options later tonight and see how I go.

Always include file extensions at the end of a file's name (.pdf, .doc, .jpg etc. Always use Windows-Friendly format. Try sending attachments in Plain Text format messages. Using Plain Text vs RTF has dramatic impact to how the message is coded, and then for certain receiving email clients, such as Outlook and Outlook Express may be problematic, especially if the user is not really skillful in such matters. To see the difference, observe messages sent in each format by opening them in the Sent mailbox, clicking on View in the menubar, placing your cursor on Message in the resulting pull-down and choosing Raw Source. With those in RTF, you will note lots of HTML looking code, and if an attachment is present, the receiving email client seems to miss the header that is in front of every attachment. Those particular MS email clients don't handle Rich Text Format well, and if they send with it, it is in a proprietary version that other email clients have trouble with. Try using Plain Text first.

Base-64 encoding (or MIME-encoding) basically takes the file you are sending and converts it to a large block of pure text, then adds it to your message. The recipient's email client then decodes the text and converts the text back into its original form, be it a Word file, a photo, a movie, or anything else. It's something users don't have to think about these days, but it was a different story 15 years ago when this stuff was in its infancy. It was important in early email clients to know which encoding was being used, and who your recipient was. If you encoded your attachment incorrectly it would be unreadable by a recipient who did not have the correct de-coder. So, if we understand this fundamental aspect, it really shouldn't matter where in the message we place our attachment: it should still be able to be de-coded by the recipient and handled appropriately. Apple's Mail is a great example of such a client. The problem is that many email clients out there expect the attachment to be at the END of the message, and nowhere else. As noted, it often happens that some clients will know enough about a photo attachment, for example, to be able to display it as an image on the screen, but bot enough to allow it to be detached from the message, so it remains embedded. The only reliable way to handle attachments therefore, especially when you're sending to Windows recipients, is to make sure that they are at the very bottom of the message, below your signature, below every other bit of text. It can also help, of your recipient is still having problems, to enclose your attachment in a .zip wrapper before sending it.

Hi Stephen my evidence seems to show that it may be random?! The smaller attachment was embedded icon, the larger was icon only (see below) - I would have thought it would be the other way around.

If things don’t look quite right, open up - Activity Monitor from the Applications Utilities folder and track down the errant app or process to see what it’s CPU usage is like. You should soon be able to tell if things aren’t quite working as normal. Do you have a lot of 'unused' Applications open and perhaps running in the background? If so Quit some to see if that helps.

Do you have a ADSL 'Line filter' connected between the phone line access point(Wall Jack) and the Modem? (The filter is the first connection into the telephone wall socket). Your speed can be slowed by line noise due to unfiltered devices. The ADSL modem does not need a Telephone line filter. But every other service connected to your telephone line needs to have a Telephone line filter installed (i.e. Phone, Fax, Alarm, Foxtel, EFTPOS). 2. What program were you using to download a file when Safari says you are not connected? U Torrent Does Safari give you this message ONLY when you are downloading using U Torrent? Because your Internet Provider has mentioned your connection speed is 'average' for your location (3KM from centre). I would suggest perhaps your connection is not fast enough or stable enough to be using both a Web Browser having a Torrent downloading at the same time. 3. Many people complain their computer is slow, when really it is their Internet Connection that is slow. My Internet provider tells me that they've checked out my connection speed and it is average for my location (About 3km from centre) What Speed did they say you should be receiving?

The previous point of discussion, Shade, does nothing to help in this regard, but it does have a use on messy laptops which are used for presentation purposes. An embarrassing disaster can be hidden with the simply click of a Menu Bar icon. Desktop Tidy, on the other hand, actually seems to have potential as a useful tool. For me dropping things on the Desktop for ready reference is just a bad habit. My problem is neglecting to go around and clean up when I'm finished a particular exercise. For many people I know however, their Desktop is their filing system because they know where everything is. I find that generally these people cannot be talked into a different way of thinking. Desktop Tidy might be a starting point. As you know, the main problem with a messy desktop is that it really does have a telling effect on performance. When OS X displays the Desktop, every item has to be processed in some way before it can be displayed, so the more items you have there, the longer it can take to finish displaying them all. This was brought home to me several years ago when I visited the home of a client who was complaining that his Mac has slowed to the point where it was essentially unusable. It didn't take me long to discover the problem: he had well over 600 items on his desktop! When OS X runs out of space to display so many items on the Desktop, it starts piling them up in one spot, typically in the top righthand corner (his eMac's 1024 x 768 display had enough room to display maybe 40 separate items). Essentially, the Mac was waiting for all of these icons to be completely drawn and displayed before it could do anything else, and because they were all piled up in one corner, it was not obvious to the user that this was in fact the problem. Desktop Tidy sounds like the ideal solution to that particular problem! I'll definitely look more closely at it.

Apple's September 12 invite hints at iPhone 5
Hi WAMUGers waiting for the new iPhone 5, Tune in next Wednesday 12 September for the announcement of the New iPhone 5. Apple's September 12 invite hints at iPhone 5: /Quote: It's official -- Apple's holding an event next Wednesday, where the company is widely expected to debut its next iPhone. Just like its iPad reveal earlier this year, Apple is holding at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater. The invite says only It's almost here, with a shadowed 5 underneath the September 12 date. The event will begin at 10 a.m. in San Francisco. CNET will cover the event with a live blog, so mark that time and head back here to tune in. The date confirms a report from blog iMore in late July that Apple would hold its iPhone event on September 12. The other half of that report said the device would go on sale nine days later on Friday, September 21. Among the changes expected to come to the next iPhone are a larger screen, as well as compatibility with fourth-generation cellular networks. Numerous components have leaked out over the past few months that hint at some of those features, from screen covers and near-finished cases, right down to the much-rumored smaller dock plug. It's nowhere close to the leak that was the iPhone 4 in 2010, but the design features have been far from a secret. This announcement confirms one of two long-rumored events Apple reportedly plans to hold in the next two months. There's been talk for some time that it will also hold a separate event next month to debut a smaller version of the iPad, a device that's been rumored since the initial model debuted in 2010. We'll have more information on that in the coming days. In the meantime, for a full list of rumors, and things to expect, be sure to check CNET's iPhone 5 rumor roundup, which we've kept lovingly updated. /End Quote To read more, here is the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57502622-37/apples-september-12-invite-hints-at-iphone-5/ Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.8.1 Mountain Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- 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 Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Re: iCal Alert time.
Hi Adrian, The default time is pulled from Alerts when you create a new event, you can't change the 9am time. But if you change the alert to something else like Message or Message with sound, then it 'should' pull the time from the general settings you have for when the day begins (7AM) Or manually change the Alert to Message with Sound - 'the same day' and change the time to 7AM Cheers, Ronni On 05/09/2012, at 9:38 AM, iCloud adrianske...@me.com wrote: Thats correct Tim; Preferences Alerts, its the All Day Events and Birthdays that I would like to change.
