Re: Setting up Mail

[Matthew Carello]

Hello there. I never put anything in there. When you hit continue it should be 
able to find the settings it needs. If it doesn't it should take you  to the 
mail app where you can fill in what you need. Once again I never put anything 
in that text field and it has not hurt anything.

Setting up Mail

[Catherine Turner]

Hi,

I just went to set up Mail for the first time on my Macbook.  It asked
for some information like name, e-mail address and password which I
filled in.  But one of the text fields wasn't saying what it was for -
VO just said "text field".  Anyone remember or got any ideas what that
text field is for?

Thanks,
Catherine

Decimals in spreadsheets

[Andy Collins]

Hi all -

Been here before, but not quite sorted it yet.

I'm using Numbers, and can't seem to get decimal places to show on the 
spreadsheet. It rounds up or down to the nearest whole number.

 I've looked under new inspector on the view menu, but couldn't make to much 
sense of it.

Thing is, some of the numbers do show 2 decimal places, but these were entered 
some time ago, today, it won't let me put numbers in that have decimal places, 
without rounding them.  The balance at the bottom of the spreadsheet does show  
2 decimal places, so they do exist, but clearly, something has changed since 
last time and this. Anybody help me then understand where and how to choose the 
number of decimal places a number can go to? -

Re: Audio book binder

[Dónal Fitzpatrick]

Hi Paul,

This is interesting.  I'm also noticing issues with the books that Audiobook 
builder produces.  On the mac they seem to be correctly divided into chapters, 
however when transferred to the iPhone this information is lost resulting in 
very large (and long) parts of the book.

Thanks very much,

Dónal

calendar finally fixed

[Mark Furness]

I am the person whose Calendar in ml read differentlythen in lion.

I fixed the problem by re and re ml.
a drastic move, but nothing would work.

Now that it took me years to upgrade  to ml from lion, I wonder how long it 
will take me to upgrade to Maverick? 

Thank you for all your help and suggestions!
I felt like I was back into a windows environment.

Re: Audio book binder

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello Donald, 
I think audio book binder is free while you have to pay for audio book builder. 

I have both installed and when I last tried it I found audio book builder 
significantly harder to use and slower than audio book binder.

Actually one step you can shorten is to either press cmd b for bind or hit the

Re: authentication has no windows

[Georgina Joyce]

Hello,

I thought I read a post that suggested that you just need to click the 
trackpad. This puts the focus upon something. Then you can cmd + tab to get on 
the buttons to start the computer.

Re: Audio book binder

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello George, 
I get audio books from www.calibre.org.uk. the books come on memory sticks with 
each book comprising up to 120 MP3 files with names like 001034-001, 001034-002 
and so on with each file containing about 10 minutes of audio. 

I first play the first MP3 files which announces the book title and author 
name. 

I then open audio book binder and enter the author name and book title. I then 
select the files tab and press the add button. that opens a dialogue enabling 
me to select all the MP3 files on the memory stick which get copied into the 
table when I press the open button. 

I then select all the files in the table and go to the chapters item in the 
audio book binder menu bar. I ensure that enable chapters is checked and then 
press the split files item. that doubles the number of files in the files 
table. I then go back to the chapters item in the menu bar and press the 
renumber item. that creates a separate chapter for each MP3 file. this has two 
benefits. First it enables me to more easily skip forwards and backwards by 
sensible amounts of time when reading the book on my iPod Nano. Second while 
the iPod Nano remembers my reading position you can mess this up by incorrect 
operation. Having a separate chapter for each MP3 file enables me to easily 
find my place in those circumstances. 

I finally go to the file menu and press the make audio book item. I choose the 
folder where I want the audio book saved. I then have to be patient while the 
audio book is built. 

I then play the completed audio book for a few seconds to get it into iTunes so 
that I can sync it with my iPod Nano 7. 

If it is a very long audio book I would create it as part 1 containing the 
first set of files and part 2 containing the second set of files. this is 
sometimes necessary as my iPod Nano does not cope with audio books longer than 
about 10 hours. 

Hope this helps...
