Ronni, yes it only some of them and iPhoto, Preview and Graphic Converter are happy with them all. I can detect no differences, a real mystery.

Re: A Photoshop hitch
Hi Severin Daniel, I just had another thought ... (Daniel stop smirking) ... What if you tried Converting to the work profile instead of Assigning the work profile? ASSIGNing a different profile will preserve the numbers and will change the colors of the image; CONVERTing to a profile will preserve the colors and change the numbers accordingly. There is something different about these images, in their Metadata? I have to get out of here now, another job awaits my attention.

Re: A Photoshop hitch
Well, Daniel, you have come up with something useful here. Opening a nogood image in Graphic Converter then saving as either a .jpg or .psd comes up with a file that Photoshop CS3 is completely now happy with.

What if you tried Converting to the work profile instead of Assigning the work profile?

There is something different about these images, in their Metadata? I have to get out of here now, another job awaits my attention.

Re: A Photoshop hitch
Hi Severin, The cause will be in the Metadata of the original nogood images. PS CS3 is having a problem reading some part of the hidden Metadata file, but after opening the jpeg in another application re-saving it has stripped the problem part of the Metadata file. Therefore PS CS3 is then able to handle this new Metadata file. I probably haven't explained that very well, but that is the gist of it.

Mail App. Nuisance.
Hello WAMUGers There is something that has been an annoyance to me for quite some time. When I am using Apple Mail (Version 2.1.3 (753.1) on my old G4 (which I use for emails, see specs below), I have trouble getting the window settings in the Mailpreferences and Mailaddress book areas of Mail to hold. I go to Address Book from the Mail tool Bar and the columns are all squashed up to the left of the window. I reset them but the next time I go there, with or without a re-start/log-out/re-boot, they're all squashed up again. This means that I can't see the full email address or signatures panes. So I have to re-size each and every time. Not the end of the world but a damn nuisance. This has been going on for a few years now, through Panther, Tiger and Leopard on a G5. I've trashed preferences and plists, upgraded the Operating system many times, searched google, etc., etc. But this has me stumped. Am I missing something or is this the way things are supposed to be? I've never actually checked on someone else's system. Could some kind person please check their machine to see if this is normal. Sorry to bother you all with this. Now I am the nuisance.

Re: Sorting
Peter, you must have defined the field type as text rather than number. You will have to redefine that field as a number field and then the sort will be numeric instead of alphabetic.

Re: A Photoshop hitch
Hi Severin, The cause is, as Ronni says, more than likely corrupt metadata - since it seems to effect lots of these files it could be due to a problem with the original image processing/saving that created the jpgs. With regard to opening the files some programs seem to be a lot more fussy about tolerating these problems - in your case Photoshop CS3 is being fussy (thanks Adobe!) whereas iPhoto, Preview and Graphic converter are OK with it. I have always found that Graphic Converter will often manage to open all sorts of problem files - eg with downloaded images that have only partially downloaded most programs complain about corrupt file or just fail to open but Graphic converter tends to open them and just show the 20%, 50% or whatever of the image that has downloaded - very useful if you are in a tearing hurry and a large download has failed at 90%+. If Graphic Converter can open it then, as you have found, doing a save as from Graphic converter will generally clean up the file enough for general consumption. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Mail App. Nuisance.
Hi Greg, I'm not certain but I'm guessing the preference you will have to delete is com.apple.mail.plist from your preference folder as the addressbook within mail would utilise this plist. (I checked it by redefining the column widths and it was the preference that immediately updated itself when I closed the window) My only concern would be that in deleting this preference you would lose some of your valuable mail settings. I guess you should back it up before deleting. Regards, Eugene On 18/09/2009, at 5:05 PM, Greg Manzie wrote: Hello WAMUGers There is something that has been an annoyance to me for quite some time.

Re: Mail App. Nuisance.
Hi Greg, Could I just add to Eugene's suggestion please. Make sure you: 1. Quit Mail first 2. Drag the com.apple.mail.plist from your /Users/yourusername/ Library/Preferences/ to your desktop 3. Set things in Mail the way you like, then quit Mail. Does it properly save it this time? If so, your Mail prefs is corrupted. If not, you can drag the prefs file from the Desktop back to the appropriate folder, replacing the new one that was created.

Re: speaker on i-mac 17 2GH intel
Hello Martin Do you get sound if you insert earphones? If yes, then the operating system is probably OK. Your start-up chime should also work if there is no hardware problem. And that is independent of the operating system. Try using some headphones or an external amplifier and re-boot. Sometimes the earphone jack (female) can be faulty or starting to corrode and the switch turning on and off the internal speakers just needs a clean. If this is the case inserting the earphone plug and withdrawing it a few times can get it working. Good luck.

Re: Mail App. Nuisance.
Thank you Brett, Eugene and Ronni I have tried moving the preferences to the desktop and the trash many times before, on the G4 and G5 (I no longer have the G5) but I'm not 100% certain that I quit mail first. So I'll try again on the G4 tomorrow. I moved the prefs from the system library as well but to no avail. I am writing this from my new MacBook Pro (see below for specs) and it has the same problem. Although the default type setting that it reverts too is slightly different. That could be because I have saved my preferences from previous computers to new machines in the past. I'll try the suggested prefs move on the MacBook next. Then I'll get back to you.

Re: A Photoshop hitch
Hi Severin I've taken this a step further for you (perhaps). (Note: I'm not making any promises with the next bit, and admit to not being full bottle with Automator) but... I have written a little automator function that in theory should let you drop the faulty picture onto it and then resave a copy for you from Preview. I'm happy to email it to you if you want to try it and see how it goes? It may patch multiple, open, and change them as well, but still keeping the original. (Edit: Actually, it will do a few. I just grabbed 4 png files and it converted them and saved them to jpgs. Which you should then be able to open into Photoshop. Let me know if you want to try it and I'll email it through to you.

Re: i-tunes to external harddrive
Hi Martin, Have you tried copying your whole music folder which is in your Users/your directory/Music/iTunes, and pasting it in your external drive. I believe you can point iTunes to this 'new' location so that it can play the songs from the external drive. What I do not know is how to sync the 2 folders on you main drive and the external one. Regards, Philippe C 2009/9/18 Martin Sulkowski martin6...@live.com I want to backup my library to an external hard drive .It is appr.400 gb big and I want to keep the structure as in i-tunes. I have it sorted like ---Classical Music/ Artist/ Album. Is there any way of doing this,and keeping the structureI found the internet very confusing. Or is it better to clone the external hard drive (how to do?) and sync the two.

I will have to after sending this email to you I have been working since before 5am this morning and need a break before catching up with my Clients work. I feel your Software Update has become corrupted. I suggest you reset the Software Updater Function: Please follow these instructions carefully, print them to make it easier for you to follow: Like any other application, problems can occur if any required resources have become corrupt. From here, the application will start properly and not run correctly. These resources can include the program’s preferences files and caches. In addition, when updates are applied, a receipt is generated that Software Update reads to know what updates have already been installed. If an installation fails, but the receipt is left, software update may not try to install a needed update. Additionally, if a receipt is corrupt, then software update may try to repeatedly install the same update. Assorted fixes for the issue include the following steps: Fixes: 1. Remove Software Update preference and cache files. If Software Update seems to be unable to complete an update, and either freezes or quits half-way through checking for updates, then try removing the application’s preferences and cache files from the following locations: /username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ – remove “com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.NUMBER.plist” /username/Library/Preferences/ – remove “com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist” /username/Library/Caches/ – remove “com.apple.SoftwareUpdate” (folder) /Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ – remove”com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist” After removing these items, restart the system for the changes to take effect and try launching Software Update again. If still not functioning correctly: 2. Remove faulty receipts. If an update continuously appears and is being applied, try removing the receipt for that specific update. The receipt should be located in the /Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/ folder and will be named something similar to the update files (i.e., FrontRowUpdate2.1.7.pkg). Do not delete the receipt, but instead move it to the desktop or some other location and retry the update. If it still does not work, replace the receipt in its original location, since it may be required and isn’t the root of the problem.

Re: i-tunes to external harddrive
Hi Martin, Backup up your iTunes library is as simple as copying your 'iTunes' folder. For instance, you can open your 'Music' folder and drag-and-drop the 'iTunes' folder icon onto your external hard disk icon. Of course, this will take a very long time because you have 400 GB of music, and maintaining this backup would require that you copy the whole 400 GB every time you make a backup. Therefore, you may prefer to use backup (sync) software instead. Backup and sync software works by detecting changes, and only needs to back up the new/changed files. If you ever need to recover your iTunes library, you can simply drag the backed up 'iTunes' folder back to your Music folder. Alternatively, if you wanted to point iTunes to use the external disk instead of your internal disk, open iTunes and hold then down the Option key as soon as possible. iTunes should ask you whether you want to Quit, Create a New Library, or Open A Library. You can choose Open... and select your external iTunes folder. iTunes will remember this setting.
