Recommendations for Digitising 8mm films

PROBLEM SOLVED Sorting Photos by Orientation
Hi Ronni and WAmuggers I decided to have another look around the options in Bridge - and VOILA, yes I found the Filter - Orientation down on the left side of my window. Thank You! I had been using the drop down menus along the top and there were no words 'Filter' or 'Orientation' up there. I would have thought those word options should have been available in Sort When doing a word search in Help, and typing the word 'Filter', I got something called Filter Panel and didn't realize that would be where to go. It always pays to think outside the square when doing searches. Thanks again Denise Williams-Photographer PH 9447 3468 MOB 0417 184592 chri...@iinet.net.au 55 Duart Rd TRIGG WA 6029 Hello Denise, In Bridge CS4 you can Filter folders by Orientation: Landscape / Portrait / Square.

iBook Hospital
I'm in the curious situation of having two iBooks fail in very similar circumstances ie failing to boot. Short version of story is that after a fiddle with install, reinstall, target disc mode etc have established that both have intact and permission-repaired HDDs and now have fresh copies of 10.4 loaded up. Laptop 1 now has come to life but trackpad and button are nonfunctional. System Profiler says the trackpad is there and gives its specs. The OS however seems to think it is not and tells me when I go to Help, that the trackpad button in the Keyboard/Mouse window of System Pofiler, is not present because this computer does not have a trackpad installed So the question is: anyone with experience on the Unix terminal know of a way to prod the OS into recognizing the trackpad hardware? Or how to formally test it?

Re: iBook Hospital
Thanks for the tip Dan - was a generic disc. Actually from the outset ie first booting from the disc, it was demanding a mouse before proceeding. Have used this disc for a lot of reinstalls and it hasn't misbehaved yet but certainly a possibility. Might try and reinstall once more it can't hurt. The ibooks are second hand and don't have original CDs.
