10.5.7 Update - Time Capsule Canon printer

2009-05-19 Thread Norman Leslie


Hi,

I have 2 iMacs and a MacBook on a wireless network using Time Capsule.

All was well prior to the software update.

After installing the Combo Updater and running Disk Utility as  
recommended, the two iMacs had no problem. However, the MacBook was  
not backing up on Time Capsule. I tried a number of times without  
success. I looked online and found that someone else was reporting the  
same issue on TUAW, but no solution.


Then I connected the MacBook directly to Time Capsule via ethernet  
cable. That solved the problem, but it did take 37 mins to prepare,  
33 minutes to back up and 11 minutes finishing. I have just  
checked and it subsequently backed up wirelessly in the usual amount  
of time - about 4 minutes.


I hope this helps anyone encountering a similar problem.

As an aside, I have a Canon iP300 printer connected to one of the  
iMacs. I can print from the iMac connected to that printer, but I  
can't print from the other iMac nor the MacBook. Print sharing is on.  
This worked before the update. Any thoughts

booting from wrong drive


Hi all,

	I think part of the problem is that the G5 is now booting from the  
500 gig drive inside instead of the Mac Hard Drive.


	When I tried to install items I was told during the process that it  
will only install on the 500.


	I also just downloaded Quick Time (old one would not work)  it  
tells me I can't install it on either drive?? What the!!
	This coupled with the I Movie failure leads me to believe I have  
screwed up somewhere?... badly


Thanks

Hi ken

I would strongly suggest that you wipe one of your drives and start  
again, backup all important data first of course.

Ken,

You can't update from Panther 10.3.9 staight to Tiger 10.4.11
As I've said in previous emails to WAMUG Combo updaters will install  
on the same version they're applying.


Combo Updates update Mac OS X up to the version speciﬁed by the  
update, including all intervening updates.


The OS X Combo 10.4.11 will update any version from 10.4 Tiger to  
10.4.11  not 10.3.9 Panther.

You need to install Tiger 10.4 first then use the Combo Update 10.4.11

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi folks,

I am interested to know if anyone else has had iPhone problems ?
Sometimes the touch screen simply did not respond.
Most of the time the screen went blank as I received a call or as I
made a call.
Consequently I could not use hands free or even hang up after the  
call.

Each time I had to turn off the phone and restart.

Hmmm !

Your phone is fine now , but I am still unsure whether you actually  
have the old style phone
or whether it is part of your data set up .  I am not experienced in a  
data phone connection .


If you do actually have a landline phone and it is now ok ,
You need to go back to westnet and tell them the repairer has stuffed  
up your line .


We do not know why it went down in the first place , but it could have  
been because

an installer stole your previous working pair ( records error perhaps )
and they have put you on another pair .

Another trick when there is one faulty wire of a pair is to use a wire  
from another pair
( makes a split pair ) and that would be bad for your data signal  
level .


Have fun

There are several templates which come with Filemaker Pro, each of  
which will do part of what you want, but none which will do it all. To  
do it all, you will have to learn enough about Filemaker Pro to do it  
yourself, or pay someone to do it for you.


Alternatively, you could look at something like http://www.briefcase.net.au/ 
. This is an all-purpose job management system written entirely in  
FMP. It's a little expensive at $495, but it seems to be well-written,  
and costs a lot less than paying someone to develop a solution for  
you. You can download a 30-day trial and see  it it suits.

Hi...

Yes, you could do it on FileMaker, or try some of the commercial 
offerings like iBiz (free 10 day trial)


http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibiz/index.php

Not sure how it goes for tracking multiple employees though.

Also, I believe Bento has a time billing template.

I opened Audacity in a new file, plugged my iMic Griffin usb into my

the mic volume and and sang. The recording was fine but the singing
was appalling !!

Merv

Perhaps the singing will improve with Snow Leopard... :-)

I've tracked down the source of my iMic problem at least. It tuned out
to be the Hear audio plugin. This is something which is apparently
installed with Skype, and has been causing problems for quite a while,
since at least 10.5.3 according to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7416555#7416555
. I have removed it and now Wiretap Studio seems to be working fine.
At least it doesn't quit when I hit the Record button any more.
Amadeus II also seems to be behaving itself now as well. Don't really
care about the rest since I never use them. I'm very relieved since I
was reduced to using Final Vinyl, a piece of software which is almost
completely unusable for recording from vinyl records because of the
ever increasing volume of the background hiss while it's recording.

Now perhaps Skype will work better as well. That was another casualty
of the 10.5.7 upgrade on my system.

Hi Jon,

Audio Hijack Pro
http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/
Or:
WireTap Studio
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/
In iTunes you have the capability of streaming URL addresses

-Click on Music - Then click Advanced - Open Audio Stream - and paste  
the audio stream URL. Most URLs should start streaming if they are  
setup correctly. For example many shoutcast based streams will stream  
via this method.


http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/#radio

Add a Station

Say there’s an Internet radio station you love, but it’s not included  
with iTunes. Choose Open Audio Stream from the Advanced menu to add  
the station to your library. Paste or enter the station’s URL in the  
dialogue that appears and click OK.


Cheers,

Ronni

Re: Recording sound from a Mac

Robert,

The eBay looks like it the older version 1 (White) the new version 2
is (Black).
I believe the difference is that V2 does Internet Radio and V1 doesn't
- they use different software too.

I don't know if you can believe this review ... it's not every glowing!
http://www.atpm.com/13.09/radioshark.shtml

Are any WAMUGers using RadioSHARK perhaps could let us know what the
reception quality is?

Re: Recording sound from a Mac

Hi Ronni (and all)

I have a radioSHARK that I use here. I've also set them up for clients as
well. I find that it works really well and I'm quite happy with the
reception. I have it sitting behind my 23 LCD monitor and when working and
what something different to listen to I have it running.
I've also got a few people that use them to record things off Radio National
(I think) and find it quite good for those as well. A couple of times I've
left it running and gone out and then come back and scrolled back to listen
to something I missed,..so quite good for that too.
So overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I find the reception works well (in
Huntingdale) and the quality is pretty good.
Griffin products are generally very good I find.

Oh, and yes you are correct with the eBay, it's the older version 1 that
doesn't do Internet Radio which version2 does. You can't get the older
Version1 anymore from what I've seen on my wholesalers website, just the v2,
so they may be selling off older ones.

And I can't say I've had the problems he's had with it in the review. There
are a couple of quirky things with it, like the changing stations, so I
agree with that, but overall I haven't had a problem with reception,
crashing, or poor performance, and from what my customers tell me, neither
have they. They all seem quite happy with it. (Mine runs on a MacPro 3Ghz,
and my clients mostly have fairly new iMac's)

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Robbers steal 70 iPhones in daring daylight heist


Hi wamuggers,

Some hot iPhones getting about shortly?

From: ..
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10244720-37.html?part=rsssubj=newstag=2547-1_3-0-5 



Two men pulled off a daring daylight robbery last week in Orange  
County, Calif., nabbing cash and 70 iPhones from an ATT store.


The report goes on to say..

Apple is reportedly working on ways to help individuals find lost or  
stolen iPhones using its MobileMe service. That feature will be  
available when the next generation operating system is released this  
summer

Re: Recording sound from a Mac


Hi,

I regularly listen the rugby by loading a little file called 'radio- 
sport-wellington.asx' into QuickTime (double-clicking loads it).


Examining the contents of the file it has..

(I don't know how this will show on wamug)

ASX version = 3.0
Entry
TitleRadio Sport Wellington /Title
AUTHOR/AUTHOR
COPYRIGHT/COPYRIGHT
Ref href=mms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/trn-radiosport-wlg /
/Entry
/ASX

Is this a typical example of a Internet radio station URL?

I've tried loading it into iTunes but it won't work, I tried the ms:// 
ac1.streaming.net.nz/trn-radiosport-wlg from the file

which wouldn't work either.

It's in the back of my mind that I may need to set up some method of  
recording from 'radio-sport-wellington.asx'
and getting it to load at a certain time of the day if I need to go  
out when the game is on but am not sure how to do that.

Hi,

Daniel Kerr supplied me with a WD My Book a while ago and it has

Re: Drives

Thanks Brian, I'm running 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G5. It wasn't a good  
result for me. Should it be any different on an Intel model?

Re: Drives

Yeh, I'd agree with this one. I've sold about 50 Western Digital drives to
clients in various flavours (MyBook Studio, Studio II, Passport Studio,
Passport Studio II) and not had any problems with them. Oh wait,..bar one
which ended up being a power brick but I just replaced that on the spot and
it worked fine after that.
Generally haven't had to format them, just plug and play. Though, yes
sometimes reformatting them for specific Mac's does help.
I only ever get the ones with Quad interface though (USB2, Firewire400,
Firewire800, eSATA). Never the cheap straight USB ones. They are too slow
and tend to be more unreliable with file transfer. And did I say too slow.
I tend to think USB is one of those products with drives,..you get what you
pay for. Buy a cheap USB drive, have problems.
Not much good if you have a MacBook with no Firewire,..but don't get me
started on that one,

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: Drives

Ken's Mac is a PowerPC I think, so to for bootability, the drive would  
need to be format:  Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
 the Partition type:  Apple Partition Map - for bootability on  
PowerPC-based Macs.


 GUID Partition Table - for bootability on Intel-based Macs
 Apple Partition Map - for bootability on PowerPC-based Macs

Yes, I agree I have never had a problem with Western Digital drives.
I've purchased 'numerous' drives from Daniel Kerr  not one has caused  
me any problems.

Re: Drives

2009-05-19 Thread Evers

I have a WD Elements 1TB USB 2.0 on a 2 GHz 1.5 GB Intel iMac 10.5.6  
and it has worked seamlessly for a year - no tricky reformatting, just  
plug, disk utility (2 partitions),  use. Always mounts, always  
available, always responsive.


However I am about to get another 1TB drive specifically for storing  
iMovie files for later editing/compilation - I'm gathering from the  
comments that a Firewire drive might be more stable for all the video  
traffic?


Cheers,
Tony

Re: Recording sound from a Mac


Hi Brian,

Normally an Internet Radio Station URL (for Example ABC Classic FM -  
which I listen to in iTunes)

 is http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/classic/classicfm.m3u in iTunes.

Hi,

I regularly listen the rugby by loading a little file called 'radio-

Examining the contents of the file it has..

(I don't know how this will show on wamug)

ASX version = 3.0
Entry
TitleRadio Sport Wellington /Title
AUTHOR/AUTHOR
COPYRIGHT/COPYRIGHT
Ref href=mms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/trn-radiosport-wlg /

Is this a typical example of a Internet radio station URL?

I've tried loading it into iTunes but it won't work, I tried the  
ms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/trn-radiosport-wlg from the file

which wouldn't work either.

It's in the back of my mind that I may need to set up some method of  
recording from 'radio-sport-wellington.asx'
and getting it to load at a certain time of the day if I need to go  
out when the game is on but am not sure how to do that.
