LaserWriter Select 300
I have, surplus to our needs, a LaserWriter Select 300 which is functional. However, the the auto feed from the tray only works with quality paper. The manual feed is fine. If anyone wants to cannibalise parts from it or use it in its present state they are welcome to call by and pick it up.

bootcamp....
Hi, I'm about to have a bash at the bootcamp/xp install on my intel mac. Has anyone tried this and had success? What's the feeling towards this install? I'm doing this because I have some apps which are XP only. Thanks Mike

iPhoto help please.
Hi everyone I have a problem. Because of certain activities by my youngest grandchild 21/12 :-) I have done a complete re-install of my wife's iMac G4 1Ghz. I have also installed for the first time iPhoto 6. When I ran the iPhoto program for the first time it told me,as expected that it would need to update iPhoto which I accepted and it got on to do it. Then came the crunch Unable to upgrade this photo library because the current user does not have access. If possible, repair permissions for the iPhoto Library Folder and try again. The path of the item that failed is /Users/sue/Pictures/iPhoto Library/2003/06/14/Originals/IMG_1200.JPG I have thrown this img away but it just replaces it with another vand I think will go through all the imgs. I have repaired permissions but was wondering what to do next and why has it happened. thanks for any help, Mac
Re: iPhoto help please.
Hi Mac, A quick fix might be to use iPhoto Library Manager to set (or re-set) permissions for the Library in question. Software at http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html It lets you view and change the permissions of your libraries, and is extra handy if you want to use more than one iPhoto Library.

I have repaired permissions but was wondering what to do next and why has it happened. Hi Mac, First manually reset the ownership and permissions on the iPhoto Library folder as follows: Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder 1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I. 2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read Write also. Others - Read Only. 3 - Then click on the Apply to enclosed items... button. However, many users have found that there is a locked image file or two in the library that was the culprit. Look in the iPhoto Library folder for the Original folder. In there will be folders for each roll in the library. Check the folder that represents the roll that you're having trouble with. Make sure there are no locked files in there like you did earlier and then set the ownership and permissions on that roll folder as follows: Setting Permissions a Specific Folder 1 - Select the folder and type Command-I. 2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read Write also. Others - Read Only. 3 - Then click on the Apply to enclosed items... button. See if that won't let iPhoto use those files. Cheers, Lit. Sis Car'n The Pies

Re: Eye TV DDT
Hi, it seems to be particularly critical to do the first tuning in of stations using your house arial. Any other sort of arial just doesn't bring in a strong enough signal. You also need to use the software to do an exhaustive scan to get all of the stations, which takes some time. Having tuned in the stations using a maximum strength signal, you may be able to use it with the little arial, but maybe not. I've been using the EyeTV hardware for a couple of years, and this is from experience. cheers, Susan.

Re: Can a RAM slot bad?
yes, and this is not an uncommon problem. Hopefully you've purchased applecare and can get this easily fixed. If not, I would look on their website for a recall. (I'm not sure if they issued one, but it is fairly common). The interesting thing though, is that this problem probably effects a lot more people. A number of people may only have one ram chip and not two and thus, would never realize that they had the problem until they tried to upgrade the ram. Also, most people don't check the apple system profiler, so they might not realize that their system isn't using all of the ram in the system. I've seen this about 3 times where I work and we have 150+ macs probably 50 are newer laptops that are reported to have this issue (I haven't been actively checking them). Mike --- Edward Arrowsmith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The lower slot in my 15 PowerBook shows up in the profiler as empty. I moved the module to the upper slot and it was OK.
