Re: looping DVD with Toast 9

[wyvern]

thanks Ronni,

I was going to leave i until  needed to burn something but I just  
couldn't wait so I found a short clip and tried that and YAY!!!


I would rather not have the menu as none of the styles backgrounds  
really fit but better that than the painful looping and at least the  
auto play lets me get away without having it show at the beginning.


thanks everyone for your help

It's the way the DVD is burnt, not the equipment that is playing them.
No Menu on a DVD, the DVD will play through and then play through  
again etc.


Try one with a Menu and see what happens.

An alternative for you is to choose a menu along with auto play.  
That way the menu is skipped but the playback stops at the end of  
the first title. However, the menu will appear at the end of play.

If it wasn't for the others I probably wouldn't even care but it  
gets a bit embarrasing when showing a highlights dvd to a group of  
people and have to try and zap it closed quickly at the end before  
it starts again.

When you burn a DVD using Toast, do you select a "Menu Style"?
Do you have a Menu on all your burnt DVDs?

If you don't have a Menu for the DVD it would default to both
Autoplay and continuous play I would suspect.

In version 9, and assuming you're burning them from the Video

you'll get a drop down menu. The option to untick there is "Play

May pay to check it for the next few DVD's you do, as I'm not

Re: iPhone Help

[Malcolm McCallum]

I worked in Port Hedland for about 10 years as a Surgeon/GP/RFDS  
doctor and had a ball. Found the cyclones exciting (as long as you  
felt you were reasonably safe :-) )  and the scenery can be just out  
of this world as long as you were willing to travel hours and hours  
and hours :-(Temperatures can be high, we saw 57 on the inside  
thermometer but 42 is not uncommon. In one cyclone the anemometer  
recorded up to 212 MPH and then disintegrated :-). Got to know  
aborigines quite well and they are great people when not under the  
affluence of incohol. Where are you going and what is your profession?

A OK. Well that rules out it being the device then.
At least it's good to rule out all the options to narrow it down.

VisualVoice mail coming to Vodafone

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi All

For those on the Vodafone network, looks like we're getting VisualVoice
mail.
Got a text from Vodafone yesterday, which said the service is to be
activated soon. 
Pretty cool. I don't think the other networks have it yet, so Vodafone are
the first to bring it to Oz,..though I could be wrong.
(Edit,..just a quick google search it seems like they are,..
)

So if you've got an iPhone and are with Vodafone,.keep a look out! :o)

Enjoy!

Kind Regards
Daniel

I will repeat this email to WAMUG without the picture of my window

Thanks for your help, I will save your detailed instructions in

Thanks also to everyone for your messages on this subject. I have

Hi John,

Your Address Book > Preferences > General Window is NOT the same as  
mine, it is not showing the "Show first name: Before last name"
Your Window only shows partly "following last name" there should be  
above that "Show first name: Before last name"
I will attach both your Window & Mine in an email to you so you can  
see the difference.


I notice also that it is back before the change from .Mac to MobileMe.
There is a yellow exclamation mark with a message "No me card is set.  
Locate it and choose Card > Make This My Card.
Address Book automatically creates an address card for you using  
information you supplied when you first set up your computer.

And you "Choose Card > Make This My Card"
To see your card, Choose Card > "Go to My Card"
Do you have a "My Card"?

I also think you are using a older version of Address Book.
Version 4.1.2 (700) is the current version for Leopard.

Fwd: address book

[John Daniels]

Hi Ronni
I have had another look at your window compared with mine and I see  
that The correct box is already selected at the top. Therefore I  
will postpone reinstallation for now since the address book is in  
the right order and there is little to be gained by reinstalling.
I will repeat this email to WAMUG without the picture of my window  
which is attached for everyone's info.
Thanks for your help, I will save your detailed instructions in case  
I need to reinstall later.
Thanks also to everyone for your messages on this subject. I have  
learned a lot.



Cheers
John

In version 9, and assuming you're burning them from the Video Tab,  
under

click that,
you'll get a drop down menu. The option to untick there is "Play

Hope that helps.

Re: B&W photo help

[Paul Weaver]

Sometimes I've had pics come to me from other places which come up black in 
iPhoto.  The way I overcome this it to first open them in 'Preview' which is a 
standard application in Macs.  Then I make a copy with the free and very useful 
image capture application 'Capture Me.'   The resultant saved image from 
'Capture Me' goes straight to the desktop. I then drag it to iPhoto for editing 
or whatever.

Get 'Capture Me' at http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/captureme/

Cheers, Paul.

Hi Laura,

How are you scanning the original B&W photos?
You aren't scanning in grayscale are you?
You need to us the sRGB colour profile - iPhoto does not work  
with grayscale colour profiles.

Re: B&W photo help

[Laura Webb]

HI Ronni and Neil

I am using iPhoto8. The only items not checked in your list were Dust  
Removal, Colour Restoration and Auto Photo restoration. Everything  
else was as you suggested. The scanned result was the same, no image  
in iPhoto.


Neil, I've now just scanned one photo as .tif which works as does  
the .pct so tomorrow I'll try and digest all your information and see  
what happens next.


Thank you both for your suggestions. Watch this space!!

Re: B&W photo help

[Ronda Brown]

OK Laura,

We can use my original Instructions in "Full Auto Mode" (which is much  
easier than "Home Mode" and good quality).

Just MAKE SURE that in  "Embed ICC Profile" if OFF ... don't tick it!
The problem was iPhoto doesn't handle the "Embed Profile".

Hi Daniel

last time I downloaded one of these "bundles" three of didnt work with

it turned out many people had problems with the keys...ended up with  
only 9 of the 12 apps working.


just FYI

also thanks for the info re the RAM

Hi All

For those interested,..
MacUpdate have another bundle on offer at the moment.
It has 11 Apps in it, including TechTool Pro 5 and Parallels Desktop  
4.

The retail on the bundle is around $512.71 and they selling it for
USD$49.99.
It runs for about 2 weeks.

If you want to have a look or purchase, I have a referral link, so  
please

feel free to use it :o) (Thanks!)


TechTool Pro is quite a good application to have, for diagnostic and
checking of your machines. So even if you just got it for that one  
alone,

it's worth the price. TechTool Pro sells for about $80 over here. (And
Parallels itself sells for about $119AUD).

Worth a look,...


Enjoy!

I am scanning the photos using Auto Mode in Epson Scan and was not  
aware of being able to choose grey scale or anything else. However I  
have just checked Home Mode rather than Auto Mode and grey scale  
shows there but it is black and white that is selected. Destination  
is shown as printer so perhaps that should be changed. The other  
options are "screen/web" or "other". The resolution remains the same  
at 300 dpi


Best wishes
Laura

Please can someone help me with my problem.

So far I have scanned 12 of a number of old B&W photos to use in a  
Birthday Book project.


As recommended recently by Susan, I am using Snapfish to upload my  
photos before creating the book. It seems ideal for my purpose but  
some of the editing tools e.g. cropping, are not available to Mac  
users. So I need to put the B&W photos into iPhoto to edit them  
before uploading.


The scanned images are in a folder on the desktop from where they  
can be viewed without any trouble at all. However once in iPhoto  
they are black, no image at all. I've tried using some of the  
adjustments available to no avail.


Then I discovered that if saved as .pct rather than .jpg I can put  
them into iPhoto edit them and do whatever I wish with them. The  
trouble with that idea is that to upload to Snapfish photos have to  
be jpg. So I scanned them all again as jpg but, apart from three  
photos which, for some unaccountable reason are perfect, the rest  
are blanks when put in iPhoto.


Would the resolution at which the photos are scanned have something  
to do with the problem? This is currently 300 dpi and why it works  
with some but not all photos is quite beyond me.


Kind regards
Laura



Hi Laura,

How are you scanning the original B&W photos?
You aren't scanning in grayscale are you?
You need to us the sRGB colour profile - iPhoto does not work with  
grayscale colour profiles.
