NEW (RELATED) QUESTION:


Hello Neil,


Well, I never did find a way to change the download behaviour but  
now, given
SL's different take on creator and type codes, I am wondering  
whether the
problem/fix might change - so my question - to any SL users who  
could check:


1)  Does a downloaded .csv file still look the same in "get info" ie:
- Get info shows "kind" as "Microsoft Excel Document" and "open  
with" as

"Microsoft Excel"


No, my downloaded .csv shows in "Get Info" as "Kind" CSV Document

- Get info icon is a  blank page icon


No, it has an icon with text


2)  Does a downloaded.csv file still just show a blank page icon in
quicklook (and get info preview).


No, it shows as a spreadsheet (table format)


3)  If the answer to 1) & 2) is yes, does changing the "kind" to  
"text"

still solve the problem (ie restore the quicklook view).


No need to as the answers to ! & 2 are NO :-)


I'm just wondering how all this ties together!


If you would like Neil I can send you off list a couple of screenshots  
of the two windows.

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Ronni,

Thanks for that feedback. I have just upgraded firefox to 3.5.2 and OSX to
10.5.8 so I thought I'd check again (in case that had fixed anything) but no
- I'm still getting kind:Microsoft Excel document and no quicklook preview
until I change the type so that kind:Text.

I remember when I first raised this that you said:

>> 
>> Quicklook needs extra plugins to view certain files.
>> I have been looking for a .csv Quicklook Plugin for my Commsec
>> download files for months, have not been able to find on yet!
>> We might have to program our own .
>>  

So I'm interested as to when it started working for you - is this new with
SL or did you find another fix before the upgrade? - also I'm interested
that your files have 'kind" = "CSV Document" - is this what changed when it
started working for you or were they always showing this but quicklook
changed to now preview them OK?

No need for the screenshots - I get the "icon with text" after I change the
file type and then quicklook shows the csv text file - from what you say
quicklook treats the "csv document" more like an excel file and shows a
spreadsheet format - I really wouldn't mind either it seems that (at least
in Leopard) quicklook just gets confused by a csv file with 'kind" =
"Microsoft Excel Document" and shows a blank preview.

It's no big deal - as I said, I have my workaround - I'm just curious as to
what has changed

Cheers

This has happened in Snow Leopard. I never found a fix in Leopard.

Only started showing (ASAIK) as CSV Document in Snow Leopard and  
displaying in Quicklook Preview correctly.


No need for the screenshots - I get the "icon with text" after I  
change the
file type and then quicklook shows the csv text file - from what you

Yes, Quicklook in SL treats the "CSV Document" as a Spreadsheet format  
(which is what it is).
I'm pleased you don't require the screenshots ... The Portfolio is not  
looking healthy ... a little better than has been, but still very much  
in the Red ;-(


It's no big deal - as I said, I have my workaround - I'm just

what has changed


In Snow Leopard a lot of things have changed / improved.

Built-in FM tuner

I see Apple are trumpeting "The new built-in FM tuner" in their latest iPod 
nano.  Maybe someone could tell them that FM has become old fashioned in 
Australia and digital radio is all the go.

Thanks James

I have located an invertor which is the official name for the bit that  
controls the on/ off when the screen is opened and will pull the  
computer apart and check for wires and the like and install the  
invertor. Found a good manual off the web so should be no problem  
doing this.


Invertor cost me $49 so am very happy with that.

Thanks for tip re isopropyl alcohol.

Severin,

Are you able to get the newly launched digital channels on your set-top box?

I have a HD box but can't get them, just the couple of ABC and SBS radio
stations.

Re: Built-in FM tuner

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Severin,

My understanding is that the radio stations you get on our settop box are
just another channel multiplexed from the TV transmitter - whilst they are
certainly "digital" you could think of it as digital TV without pictures ;)

The recent rollout of digital radio is quite different.

The new digital radios that are being sold wouldn't pick up the radio
channels that your settop box does and viceversa.

As far as I know, if you have one of the new digital radios in Albany you
would pick up nothing! - unless you had one of the models that also includes
FM.


Cheers

USB Music Keyboard

[Evers]

My daughter uses GarageBand every day to create and edit her music,  
and I am looking at getting her a USB music keyboard/controller.


I have looked at the M-Audio KeyStudio 49 at $150 http://store.apple.com/au/product/TN529ZM/A 
 on the Apple site, and I'm checking to see if anyone has experience  
with this unit, and/or if there are others in this price range that I  
should consider?


Full compatibility with GarageBand is important.

Also, if someone has one of these or other suitable keyboard surplus  
to requirements I am happy to consider a second hand purchase - I like  
recycling.


Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Tony

Re: USB Music Keyboard

[Eugene]

I have used an M-Audio eKeys 49 purchased several years ago. I would  
guess that the KeyStudio is a newer version of this.


The unit has been used in a school situation where it has been  
hammered by the students. Except for a broken switch it has behaved  
well. It interfaces transparently with the Mac and GarageBand.


  Regards,
  Eugene

Re: Built-in FM tuner

[Severin Crisp]

Thanks for that clarification, Neil.  We only ever listen to ABC Radio  
National or ABC Classic FM so I have never even gone further than  
noting that those "digital" stations are there.

Regards
Severin

Hi Severin,

My understanding is that the radio stations you get on our settop  
box are
just another channel multiplexed from the TV transmitter - whilst  
they are
certainly "digital" you could think of it as digital TV without  
pictures ;)


The recent rollout of digital radio is quite different.

The new digital radios that are being sold wouldn't pick up the radio
channels that your settop box does and viceversa.

As far as I know, if you have one of the new digital radios in  
Albany you
would pick up nothing! - unless you had one of the models that also  
includes

FM.


Cheers

missing GWN &
