transfer files to different user

[gary dorn]

Howdy all
I have here a G4 mirror door with OX 10.3.54 and a rev A  iMac with 
10.2.8 which my wife now uses.

we are connected via ADSL ethernet model

Q how do I transfer files ( scans etc) from the G4  to the iMac, or 
form one user to anotehr user.


I figure I could drop them into the iMacs public folder in my wife's 
account - but that comes up with no user authentication
we've changed access permissions to her public folder to read and 
write but alas no go either


any suggestions?

chow

ps I was hoping ot get  to WAMUG meeting tonight, but we didn't get 
kids into bed till 7.35, and it takes me 20 min to get to Curtin, 
then I would have to find the room - ahhh well next time hopefully

Re: Shakey Video

[Rod Blitvich]

Thanks Jude!
You are a genius.
I put it back into FCPro and applied a de-interlacing filter, burnt it again
and problem solved.

Re: Keyboard & Address Book Help Please & Help for Help

[Greg Manzie]

Thank you to all for the support and help. This posting is for those  
who are interested in the solution to my previous problems.


To everyone else. Sorry for the long post.

I have had a lot of drama and great deal of hair pulling over the last  
few weeks, but the problems turned out to be similar and operating  
system related.


1. The Keyboard problem;

My first posting.
Good Morning

Can someone help me with this problem please.
Macintosh G4 400 MHz (PCI graphics), 1 Gig RAM, OS10.3.5,
10 Gig & 20 Gig internal HD's,120 Gig external HD,
SCSI card, Netgear RP 614 Router,

When OS 10.3.4 first came out I dutifully updated. At about the same  
time I purchased a cordless Logitech mouse.


About the same time I also started having intermittent problems with my  
keyboard entries. It is a standard Apple keyboard, that came with the  
G4.


The e, d, c and enter keys would hang and sometimes not work at all.  
This happens in Finder, Mail, Safari and Appleworks (possibly others)  
but not all of the time.


I waited until O S 10.3.5 came out, then undated again, but with no  
change.


The problem occurs at some stage every day but not every time I use  
those apps. (for instance it is not happening right now thank goodness.  
It can be a real pain when your on line or trying to communicate with  
the bank).


I do regular back ups and maintenance checks and have tried the  
following at various times;


Reboot almost every day
Run Diskwarrior (every month)
Run Yasu (every week)
Repair permissions using disk utility (even though Yasu does that  
anyway)

Re fitted the original Puk mouse
Changed the Logitech mouse batteries
Changed the keyboard settings

Sometimes if I disconnect and re connect the USB mouse port on the  
keyboard the problem disappears for a while.
The only other USB devise is a Sarotech external HD connected to the  
Tower USB port. (this is usually switched off).


The problem only occurs during a particular session. The next time I  
use the app it may be normal. This happens even if I leave the app  
running in the background.


If the problem was mechanical and related to the keyboard itself, the  
pattern of intermittence would be different (I think). When the fault  
occurs, it consistently occurs (if that makes sense).


I recently fitted some second hand, but genuine Apple RAM, but that was  
working perfectly before the problem started.


Thank you for your attention
Regards

Greg Manzie

Selected answers;

I have a user here with a standard corded G4 keyboard - at some stage  
around upgrading to 10.3 he lost the volume up / volume down and eject  
buttons on the keypad. The fault is certainly not mechanical and posts  
to other lists to date have been fruitless...


Cheers, Antony.

Thanks for providing such a complete description of your situation.
However, unless there is something "special" going on, the first thing
you should suspect is a hardware problem within the keyboard (which is
never going to be resolved by a software upgrade). Depending on the
model of keyboard, and its physical environment, you could suspect
either a mechanical issue or an electrical issue. Sometimes, built-up
grime is enough to jam the mechanical response of keys, and this can be
resolved easily. If it were a software problem, it would normally be
deliberately caused by special input methods (e.g. non-Roman writing
systems or 'accessibility' features), and would have a consistent
trigger pattern, and would not affect such a peculiar assortment of
keys.

If you are in a physically "clean" environment (e.g. you do not spill
drinks into your keyboard), it is probably a bit hard to explain why so
many keys have failed, but for all I know it might be a consequence of
the arrangement of electrical conductors in the keyboard. Things like
cracks in electrical conductors can cause intermittent problems that
resolve themselves if you physically handle the keyboard. It is also
possible that there's a permanent degradation of a discrete component
or integrated circuit (in the keyboard) that is causing these problems.

If you suspect a software problem, one approach might be to borrow a
second keyboard for a while. Whenever your current keyboard misbehaves,
try pressing the equivalent keys on the second keyboard. If the second
keyboard always works, then replace your current keyboard. You could
also simply try unplugging (and then replugging) your keyboard each time
this happens, to effect a "power cycle". If the problem applies to both
keyboards, however...um...

from James.

Actually: note that 'e', 'd' and 'c' all form a column on the keyboard.
Generally, the natural arrangement of buttons in keyboards and keypads
is as a 'matrix'. While I don't know about Apple keyboards, a
traditional construction and operation of matrices is based around a
"row/column" design. Therefore, failures affecting a column or failures
affecting a row would be a veritable 'calling card' of hardware failure.

again from me;

CommPost: Zytech specials

[Zytech - your online data and technology store]

Hi all!

On the horizon - DVD's are set to have a huge boost in capacity in the
not too distant future with the DVD Forum approving the physical disc
specifications for the rewritable version of HD-DVD's. The recent
meeting in Taiwan approved version 1.0 of the HD-DVD-RW specification,
which covers a single layer disc with a capacity of 20GB. The 15GB
single layer or 30GB dual layer version 0.9 of the recordable format
was approved at the same meeting. The agreements only cover the
physical characteristics of the disc manufacturing process while the
application specifications are still to be battled out. Of course as
with all new technologies, there's an alternative, and, Blu-ray disc
format is being backed by heavyweights including Sony, Dell,
Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric
Industrial (Panasonic), Mitsubishi Electric, Philips Electronics,
Pioneer Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sharp, TDK and Thomson
Multimedia. With the PlayStation 3 said to be Blu-ray compatible, it
will be a very interesting battle over the next year or so. No doubt,
there will be many more opportunities to update you.

In this newsletter I'm slashing existing prices of flash drives and
some mutifunction drives by 20%, but this is strictly till this Friday
or while stocks last.



Don't forget our FireWire external drives, with our 160GB model
representing great value at a special price of $269. Here's the link:

Brilliant little plugin

[Peter Hinchliffe]

For a couple of very cool little downloads for your Panther or  
Entourage Address Books, go to


  



You'll find links to some very nice little Applescript files for use  
with either Address Book or Entourage.


To quote the author (from the readme for the Address Book version):

"MapQuest and hence the Map Of feature of Address Book is not much use  
for Australian addresses. This script obtains maps of Australian  
addresses from WhereIs, which works rather well.


Put WhereIs into /Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (if you have an admin  
account and want WhereIs to be available to all users) or  
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (if you only want it to be available in  
your account).


Relaunch Address Book."

This stuff works! You just click on the "Home" or "Work" label next to  
the address details in an Address Book card, and your default browser  
takes to to the Whereis website, with the address pinpointed nicely on  
your screen. There is also a "Directions" plugin which shows you the  
shortest route to taken order to get there from your own address.


The downloads are tiny. Together, the two Address Book downloads come  
to about 31K. They files are free, but the author does ask for a  
donation.

registered member for 6 years!) but am not sure of the exact location. The
web site says:  Curtin, Bentley, Applied Geology, Building 312, Room 2.22
but the map link would not open. I don't know the layout of Curtin. Could
someone plse give me an idea of which entrance/car park etc to use. Thanks

Perhaps Dan's email problems have killed his regular posting about the 
meeting.


Yes, the meeting is on as usual. Karl from Apple will be there with a 
G5 iMac for us all to drool over. We will also be showing off 
MoneyWorks (the New Zealand MYOB alternative), Skype (Internet 
Telephony) and some other goodies.


Should be a good meeting.
