cameras not recognized

2007-02-21 Thread KEVIN Lock

Morning.

On our new iMac, digital cameras  (Nikon D70 and Canon A400) don't 
appear in iPhoto or in Image Capture.


Up until a few days ago they worked fine. Any ideas for me on this one.

They both work fine on our eMac.

thanks

Kev

Have you exercised Permissions repair

Kevin,

If it worked before, and now stopped working:

Have you repaired preferences ( /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility )?
Checked for corrupt preferences (Preferential Treatment)?

Thanks to John and Bob for the fix.

I had repaired permissions with Yasu, but it didn't do the job.  Disk 
Utility did.

Re: Daylight Savings testing - Give your Mac more time

2007-02-21 Thread Derek Y-E

Hi Warren and WAMUG Folks.

Your test is probably a little simple. Giving the computer only 10  
seconds worth of time in Daylight Savings may not be enough to  
trigger the event.

(DLS ends at 3.00am, 25/03/2007, and the clock should go back to 2.00am)

I set a workstation to 12.30am, 25/03/2007, and got it to announce  
(Date/Time Pref pane) the time every hour... At 2.00am it announced  
2am. An hour later (3.00am), it announced 2am again, and the clock  
was back at 2am. So, the DLS change worked.


An hour later, the time was announced as 3.00am for the first time...  
I.e. Working as expected also.


So, try your test again. This time though, give your Mac just a  
little longer to do the change-over.


Cheers,
Derek

Hi all
Has anyone done some proper testing of the new patch released last  
week?


After applying the patch, and clicking on Perth instead of Tokyo I
get the right time with the NTP server on (the time zone still shows
WST not WDT ???).

Anyway, to check the end of the DS, I disabled NTP and set my clock
to 25 Mar 2007 02:59:50 and was hoping that in 10 secs the time would
be 02:00:00. Instead it just rolls over to 03:00:00.

I would have expected the DS zone changes to be independent of the
NTP activation.

Comments?





project management software

2007-02-21 Thread Adam Hewitt

Hi All,

I am looking for some Project Management software in the likes of MS  
Project. It doesn't need to look like the MS version, nor does it  
need to work the same...just have similar functionality. Cost is also  
a limiting factor.


I have just tried GanttProject and found its interface was pretty  
crap, ie. only the first 8 letters of a task title is shown which  
makes it difficult to see which task you are looking at when you have  
a bunch of tasks allocated. It also seemed like you could only view a  
single project at a time, whereas with MS Project you have all your  
projects in a list that expands to show tasks and sub tasks, etc.


I downloaded OmniPlan which looks good, but the trial only allows you  
to have up to 20 tasks which is no good for me to trial properly.


Could anyone in the know please provide me with your perspective on  
whatever you have tried.


Cheers,

Adam.

Please excuse the self-reply, however I forgot to mention that I only  
need this to keep track of my own projects, so no collaboration and  
also that I don't need to have any MS Project file opening/writing  
capabilities.

Opening .wmv file

2007-02-21 Thread John Daniels
I have had various e-mails with an attachment file type .wmv.
Can anyone tell me how to open them? 



RE: Opening .wmv file

2007-02-21 Thread David Moyle
Hi John

This file is a Windows Media Video file (Hence .wmv extenstion).

Macs don't play this out of the box but you can with a simple down of
Flip4Mac.

www.flip4mac.com
Specifically this page;
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm 

It loads the codecs to play these files in Quicktime 6 or 7! Shouldn't have
any drama with it!

Thanks, David Moyle
