Re: .Mac query

[Wendy S. Austin]

Hi Daniel

No problems with my .mac account.

I have a friend who cannot receive his .mac Email using Apple Mail and we
have tried all sorts of things to fix it (thanks Ronni!).   He has resorted
to using Entourage instead as it works okay with that.

Scanner lamp

I have an old Apple Scanner with a transparency scanning feature.  Trouble
is that colour slides do not scan very well these days.  Could the lamp be
tired and need replacement?  Where do you get 'em and how much roughly do
they cost?

Re: bluetooth phones and macs

[Shay Telfer]

Have moved into the Sony Ericsson realm after seeing all the SE 
phones on the apple isync web site, including the K700i, which by 
all accounts it the replacement of the T630 and T610, which both 
worked flawlessly with isync in OSX.


Well, my old T610  (total cost $200) works fine with iSync via 
BlueTooth. Sometimes the latest technology isn't the best :)


Have fun,

For Sale: 1ghz 15" Albook, 768MB RAM, 60GB HDD, Combo drive, Airport

[Adam Yap]

Hey guys,

Upgrade bug has hit me again. Is anyone interested in my:

* 15" Aluminium Powerbook
* 1ghz G4 Processor
* 768MB RAM
* 60GB HDD
* Combo Drive
* Airport Extreme
* Bluetooth
* All the cables, bits, pieces and box
* Great condition, used bagged throughout it's life.

Was bought as an education product, so has 2 years of the education 
warranty left. Note that I would have to claim the warranty for you if 
something happened, I don't believe it's technically transferrable. 
Anecdotally, quite a few friends have bought edu laptops and not had a 
problem claiming the warranty.


Looking for offers north of $2000. You guys all know the prices and 
current specs.

Re: bluetooth phones and macs

[Chris Burton]

Hi

many thanks for everyone's feedback and continued reading of these 
postings...


sue thanks for your points. I have  just been up to the shop again. I 
deleted the paired K700 device from blue tooth, and did a pairing from 
the phone to the powerbook. No worries, typed in the code and there it 
is on the mac, and the mac seen on the phone. Beaut. I could even send 
a txt file across.


not so. I opened isync. clicked add device. Nothing. isync cant see the 
phone!! Im running isync 1.5 in os 10.3.7


I tried pairing from the mac. It sees the phone again, but also the 
'use isync to synchronise address book' box is greyed out again, as it 
was with the motorola V620.


Should I try reinstalling isync? Should I try syncing with a cable 
first?


Shay, I agree with you...sometimes the old stuff just works well 
forever!!


regards

chris

Chris, not sure what happened with your setup, but went through the 
same

steps with my K700i and desktop, and it had the option to isync when I
paired it.

Going to isync, it took about 6 seconds to show up, and gives me a 
dialogue

box ready to sync with my contacts and calendar.

So, the K700i definitely is able to work with isync.

It just didn't in that instance.

More confusion...

At least the manager of the Fone Zone store up here at Whitfords is

The motorola V620 does not want to isync and has a hard time being
paired, but did. I did searches of various forums and it seems

I took my Powerbook (G4 1.3 10.3.7) up to the shop so I could actually
test it with the new K700i.

Paired with the PB very quickly, but in the Bluetooth setup assistant,
has the 'use isync button' greyed out.
Sure enough when I cranked up isync and clicked 'add device' it could
not locate the K700i phone, even though it was paired.

Back to square one. Even though SE phones are supposed to use 'apple
isync' this one does not.

HELP anyone

Yes it does. see http://www.apple.com/isync/devices.html for a list
of compatible devices.
I am finally abandoning Entourage and going all Apple with  Mail and
Address book and iCal so I'm going to buy  a new phone this week

I would love some feedback on what everyones using and what the

Cleaning up "Open with"

Re: bluetooth phones and macs

I have a K700i syncing fine. I don't remember having any problems 
setting up. I used to have a Siemens s55 working with iSync too. Try

This is a dynamic menu that is created when you click on a file. These 
apps advertise the fact that they can open certain types of files, 
thus, they show up when you click on that file.


The only way to remove them from that menu is to remove the app from 
the computer.

Re: Virtual Memory

[Shay Telfer]

Hi all

No, it writes the files in /var/vm, which is usually on the boot 
drive unless you've gone to some efforts to put it elsewhere.



If it did could this mean some performance increases?


Marginally, as it'd reduce the delay due to waiting for the boot 
drive to do other things.


Have fun,
Shay

Re: Thumb-drives

I would be fairly confidently in saying that all new thumb-drives would 
work fine on a Macs and Windows. It is important to have them formatted 
to FAT32 file system. From what I have observed, they invariably are 
already formatted as such. If not, they can be reformatted using disL 
utility (before using it since data will be lost)

WAMI Awards 2005

[Callum Prior]

Hola WAM!

Just a couple of questions about the award night, thus:

Do nominees have passes for the night, or do we need to book them?  And 
if Snowman are eligible for passes, do I count as one of them?


Is the seating going to be assigned?  We'll hopefully have a little bit 
of a crowd coming down as well and we'd all like to sit together if at 
all possible.  if it is assigned seating can they request to be seated 
near us?


At any rate we'll catch you all next Tuesday.

Cheers!

Some are formatted as MS-Dos

and work equally as well on Mac

One point to watch :

Not all thumb-drives are equal when it comes to the current they draw.
Generally not a problem but some do draw more than the usual and can be 
a nuisance

What about the Yeti?  I mean, if the Snowman is allowed a pass, then 
surely the Yeti should get one too!  To make a public appearance like 
that he should get a free pass :-)

I don't know.  The Yeti is bringing his entourage too, so there could 
be dramas.  I heard on the grapevine that the Yeti doesn't like the 
Snowman all that much, considering the Snowman gets all the good 
publicity and the Yeti is some mythical beast.  I think it is best we 
split everyone up to 'keep the peace'.



Just kidding :-)  I think this went to the wrong list Callum!

Hi Angus,

I purchased a Sarotech  512MB FlexDrive from Daniel Kerr last year.
It is very reliable. I've had no trouble using it on Mac or PC.
I also have a new iPod Shuffle 1GB (also purchased from Daniel... & is 
cheaper than what I paid for the FlexDrive) )and it is fine on Mac & 
PC.




Flex Drive is compact USB2.0 flash memory drive that can be connected 
to USB2.0 port of desktop or notebook, it supports "plug & play" and 
"hot swap" on both Windows and Mac, thus it is compatible with any 
kinds of PC.

 The USB 2.0 Flash Pen Drive can support up to 2GB disk space.
 If you connect Flex Drive to USB port, your system will automatically 
detect it as another removable drive. Then, you can read, write, copy, 
delete and move data from your hard disk drive to Flex Drive or from 
Flex Drive to your hard disk.


Cheers,
Ronni

This is a dynamic menu that is created when you click on a file. These 
apps advertise the fact that they can open certain types of files, 
thus, they show up when you click on that file.


The only way to remove them from that menu is to remove the app from 
the computer.

Luckily a few apps like Toast let you turn it off in their own settings

Good Luck

Re: bluetooth phones and macs

[Susan Hastings]

Might need to set the first sync as computer overriding phone. This may mean
deleting and then reinstating the phone(device) in isync.

 Yes it does. see http://www.apple.com/isync/devices.html for a list
 of compatible devices.
 I am finally abandoning Entourage and going all Apple with  Mail and
 Address book and iCal so I'm going to buy  a new phone this week too.
 I would love some feedback on what everyones using and what the
 latest and greatest is too.

iPod battery life?

I am wondering if my iPod will play for the whole of a flight to Europe. Model 
M9282H. Using earphones with low volume.

If not, any hints about extending the battery to the max on a plane?

Re: Thumb-drives

[gary dorn]

Hiya
Can anyone recommend/ have experience of thumb-drives that will work happily
with both Mac and Windows please.
Thanks

I got one a couple of weeks ago - 128Mb from Applecentre Mt hawthorn for $35
plugged in and worked in OS 10.3.6 okay

copied over some files to transfer to my iMac ( OS 8.6) - files lost 
their data fork so initially they were not openable and my software 
wouldn't reckonise them.


Over came issue by opening up a similar type of file already on iMac, 
which seemed to fix up files type  code, then the file opened okay.


also loaded on drive some downloaded  PC software to pass onto my 
Intern to use on his PC laptop, all transferred over okay

Catch the 3am flight. Stay up all night packing beforehand. Have a 
GnT or two when you get on the plane :) Turn the iPod on when you 
wake up.


Have fun,

Hi, I've been trying to send an email to the mailing list, but kept 
getting the " Mailer-Daemon "unable to deliver because of " multipart / 
alternative etc " I changed my Composing prefs from Rich to Plain text, 
and it came back to me, does this mean it was received by the list ?

Thanks for your help

Crossword helper ...

[Peder Kristensen]

Hi All,

For all crossword enthusiast, or cheaters, try this little gem that I picked
up from the latest issue of Inside Mac Radio. ... On your system, 10.2 and
greater I think, you have a Webster dictionary that you access via the the
Terminal app. The Webster dictionary, web2, is located in /usr/share/dict
and by using the Unix grep command you can search for a word. The grep
command structure is ­
  grep ­w ³the word you looking for² /path
The "word" is made up known characters and blanks, blanks are entered as .
So here is an example:

   grep -w "ap.l." /usr/share/dict/web2

This grep search will find words that matches a patter of "ap.l." in the
Webster Dictionary, you should get an answer of: apple, apply, aptly

Have fun with your little word or crossword helper.

Cheers,
Peder

Hi,
MYOB (small business accounting software) uses the .dat suffix so it might

Re: Cleaning up "Open with"

[andy geach]

I think what Adam meant was remove unnecessary associations between apps
and file types. I had the same problem, especially with text files, and
there is a semi-solution.



hope this helps
