hi Kevin
it's ready for pickup:
laserjet 6L, paralell to usb cable, powerprint software package  
(manual, cd, serial number)

 cheers   James



James,

All the G3s I have, have USB ports and I have a couple of USB to  
Parallel cables.


I would like to give it a try if you care to let me have it.  The  
driver would be handy if you find it.


Please let me know when and where  would be convenient to do a  
collect.


thanks,

Kevin

Re: YouTube to iTunes?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Neil,

Interesting ... I just opened one of the video.flv downloaded from  
your link and opened it in the new Quicktime 10 application.
Then went to File > "Save As" - and it allows you to save a .mov,  
which I then Added to iTunes.

So looks like Quicktime 10 handles flv and conversion to .mov

You don't have to have Quicktime Pro to convert flv for iTunes ...  
unless your want other conversion than .mov


Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Neil,

iTunes only supports MP4, H264, Mov video formats


Any way, I'm looking for advice how to:

1) convert the flv file for iTunes


Do you have Quicktime Pro? If so:
1. Open the flv in QTPro , go to File > Export - Movie to MPEG-4
   Click "Save"
2. Open iTunes go to File > Add to Library - locate your saved .mp4  
file

   Click "Choose"


2) convert the problematic mp4 file for iTunes
The other .mp4 file doesn't open in Quicktime player but gives the  
following

message:
  The movie could not be opened.
  An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie.

Two reasons:
1. Movie atoms are little bundles of info that tell your application  
all sorts of information about the movie.
An invalid movie atom error often occurs due to information  
containing illegal characters.


2. This error occurs when a program converts a video for which the  
correct codec is not installed.


"For example, many programs will convert from divx/xvid to Apple  
friendly formats for iPods or AppleTv. Most of these programs assume  
that the correct video interpretation software (codec) is installed.  
If it is not, the program will convert it anyway. The ultimate  
unusable output will spit this error.


The fix is to install the correct codec on the machine before  
performing the conversions"



3) make iTunes treat the mp4 files as music videos rather than movies


Only iTunes Store downloaded Music Videos will show in Music Video,  
any you import with go into Movies.
You can drag and drop from Movies into Music Videos, put the  
original still remains in Movies.


iTunes doesn’t store video-type meta data in the video file itself,  
but rather in the iTunes database, if you want to have movies, TV  
shows, and music videos all filed in the right place, you’ll have to  
individually set them in each file’s properties under the Video tab.)

Hi,

A bit of advice regarding loading and playing music videos from non- 
iTunes

store sources into iTunes.

I recently found that one of our local singers has posted some  
videos of her

performances on YouTube.
(See  if you're interested)

I have now downloaded 3 videos which are all a little different:

One is a flash video file (.flv file - 23.9MB)
Two are MPEG-4 movie files (.mp4 files - 15.1MB and 10.8MB)

(in all 3 cases the YouTube HQ option was chosen)

All three files open and play just fine in VLC
One of the .mp4 files opens and plays in Quicktime Player
The other .mp4 file doesn't open in Quicktime player but gives the  
following

message:
  The movie could not be opened.
  An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie.

So I can obviously just use VLC to watch the files - and this works  
just

fine and looks OK at full screen.

I have tended to only use iTunes for basic music (from CDs) playing  
and have
very little video experience but what I was wondering was how to  
get the

files into iTunes and to show up as music videos.


So far:

I added the mp4 that Quicktime player will play to the iTunes  
library using
the "File: add to library" command. It has been added to my iTunes  
library
OK (and plays just fine) but is showing up as a movie (and placed  
in the

"Movies" folder) rather than a music video.

I only have one "real" music video (an iTunes store freebie) - it  
is also an
mp4 file but it was put into the library like a normal song and  
just has the

little video indicator next to it when browsing the library.

I added both other files to the iTunes library using the "File: add  
to
library" command but although no error was generated, the files do  
not seem

to have actually been added to the library.

For the flv file, I am guessing I have to convert it to an iTunes  
friendly

format like mp4?

For the other mp4 file, I'm not sure what's next - presumably  
iTunes doesn't
like it for the same reason that quicktime player won't play it -  
though VLC
has no problems at all with it - is it a wrong mp4 "flavour" or  
something?



Any way, I'm looking for advice how to:

1) convert the flv file for iTunes
2) convert the problematic mp4 file for iTunes
3) make iTunes treat the mp4 files as music videos rather than movies

Re: Connecting Mac to Windows broadband modem.

[Craig Bruce]

Generally what you'd want to be looking for is adding a wireless router.
You could replace the broadband modem completely with one that also  
does wireless or add a wireless router like an airport extreme/express  
to add wireless to the existing modem

YouTube to iTunes?

[Neil Houghton]

Hi,

A bit of advice regarding loading and playing music videos from non-iTunes
store sources into iTunes.

I recently found that one of our local singers has posted some videos of her
performances on YouTube.
(See  if you're interested)

I have now downloaded 3 videos which are all a little different:

One is a flash video file (.flv file - 23.9MB)
Two are MPEG-4 movie files (.mp4 files - 15.1MB and 10.8MB)

(in all 3 cases the YouTube HQ option was chosen)

All three files open and play just fine in VLC
One of the .mp4 files opens and plays in Quicktime Player
The other .mp4 file doesn't open in Quicktime player but gives the following
message:
The movie could not be opened.
An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie.

So I can obviously just use VLC to watch the files - and this works just
fine and looks OK at full screen.

I have tended to only use iTunes for basic music (from CDs) playing and have
very little video experience but what I was wondering was how to get the
files into iTunes and to show up as music videos.


So far:

I added the mp4 that Quicktime player will play to the iTunes library using
the "File: add to library" command. It has been added to my iTunes library
OK (and plays just fine) but is showing up as a movie (and placed in the
"Movies" folder) rather than a music video.

I only have one "real" music video (an iTunes store freebie) - it is also an
mp4 file but it was put into the library like a normal song and just has the
little video indicator next to it when browsing the library.

I added both other files to the iTunes library using the "File: add to

to have actually been added to the library.

For the flv file, I am guessing I have to convert it to an iTunes friendly
format like mp4?

For the other mp4 file, I'm not sure what's next - presumably iTunes doesn't
like it for the same reason that quicktime player won't play it - though VLC
has no problems at all with it - is it a wrong mp4 "flavour" or something?


Any way, I'm looking for advice how to:

1) convert the flv file for iTunes
2) convert the problematic mp4 file for iTunes
3) make iTunes treat the mp4 files as music videos rather than movies

Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Michael,

Reverting to an older system is never pleasant, but if he backed up  
his Leopard System, before he installed Snow Leopard, it can be  
relatively straightforward.
A) If before upgrading to Snow Leopard, he created a bootable  
duplicate of his old Leopard System on an external firewire drive (or  
another volume).

Follow these steps below:

1. If he modified any documents while working in Snow Leopard,be sure  
to save a copy of these documents onto another volume before restoring  
your cloned system.


2. Startup your Mac from a volume "other" than the one containing Snow  
Leopard.
This can be the hard disk or partition where your duplicate system  
exists, or any other volume with a valid Mac OS X System.


3. Launch your backup program (such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy  
Cloner). Follow the program's instructions for making a bootable  
duplicate, choose the volume where the duplicate exists as the  
"Source". For the "Destination" (or Target), choose the volume  
containing Snow Leopard.


4. Start the backup.

5. When the backup finishes, choose the newly restored volume in the  
Startup Disk preference pane and restart.


Your computer should now be running your previous system again.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhone repair

[James Anderson]

Hi all,

Just to update you all on the best iPhone repair process I've come up
with so far, since it is superior to the method Optus offers! (for a small
fee).

1. Call Apple 1300 321 456 (put aside 20mins-40mins for being on hold!!)
2. Explain your issue and arrange 'advanced replacement'. Where they send
you a replacement iPhone and a mailing bag and you post your iPhone back to
them. The caveats are: the put a hold on your credit card for the value of
the iPhone and charge you $39 for the advanced-replacement service.

Much better than the month wait without a phone Optus was offering me. Let's
just hope it all works out!
Cheers
James

Uninstalling Snow Leopard

[Michael Hawkins]

My colleague with the one year old  HP Laserjet printer P2014N which will
not work now that Snow Leopard has been installed on his latest model iMac
wants to uninstall SL and reinstall Leopard.

Can that be done by simply installing Leopard as the OS?

His iMac has two internal hard-drives, on only one of which he has installed
SL. Would it be safe for him to back up his work on the SL drive to the
Leopard drive?

Thank you,

Michael Hawkins.

Re: Patio Music Solution. Airtunes????

[Rod Blitvich]

Thanks Ab and WAMUG people
Have looked a bit harder at this.

One solution is to run speaker wire to external outdoor speakers.
The speaker wire has to plug in to the indoors sound system. (thanks  
Neil)
When I looked at my DVD home theatre system it doesn't seem to have a  
spare output for a second set of speakers (and i think being 5.1 might  
also complicate things)


The second solution(thanks Neil) is to buy some powered speakers and  
plug them and an airport express into the outside powerpoint/s in the  
patio, plug a lead from the Airport express into the speakers and then  
stream the music from iTunes on the indoors mac to the outdoors  
airport express and speakers. (Cost `~$400 and upwards)


The third solution is to buy a ipod dock with speakers and sit it  
outside when required. (Cost $150 -$600)


Costs:
Airport Express = $180
cable from APEx to speakers = $60?
Powered Speakers = $100 - $500
Dock with speakers = $150 -$600

So which is the more desirable solution - have your mac talking to the  
speakers via APEx or just have your iPod outside mounted in a dock  
with speakers???


cheers

Hi David,

I don't have any experience with HP Printers, but I will try to  
help steer

you in the right direction ;-)

Blue cables are Ethernet.

1. There is a Snow Leopard-compatible printer driver for your HP  
LaserJet

5MP

2. Is your HP LaserJet 5MP connected to a router - via ethernet?

If the printer is connected via ethernet to your router, and your  
Mac is
also connected to the same network, then you should be able to  
print from
your  Computer to the HP LaserJet 5MP without using AppleTalk -  
e.g., you

set up IP printing using the HPJetdirect protocol.
All you will need is the IP address for the printer.

NB: 3. That is IF the HP LaserJet 5MP is NOT an AppleTalk ONLY  
Printer!

If it can only print using AppleTalk you would need to purchase a
parallel-to-USB cable and do a direct connection from printer to  
Airport.

Re: Converying Nikon NEF to Raw file

[Bill Parker]

John,


I use Photoshop Elements ( version 6) to convert NIKON RAW (NEF)s.  
Just go into PE and Command O, select file and you'll get a pre- 
processing option wherein you can do some basic manipulation like  
exposure, colour temp etc.   Otherwise Bibble Labs offers a free  
product (which   is easier to use then PE).

This has been a problem since version 5.0.4

As you have already found Old Toad's Automator workflow does the  
trick:
Download and run "Embed sRGB Profile 2" on the grayscale photos by  
dropping the image files onto the Automator workflow application.

You can get it from here:

If you go to eBay and type in Olympus Cables you'll probably be able to find

You'll need to know the model of camera. I've found HK sellers very reliable 
and fast in the past.

Re: Olympus camera download lead

[KEVIN Lock]

Mac,

I think there are only two types of USB camera leads (?)   I have a 
spare for my Nikon SLR which has the larger (7mm) plug to the camera. 
The later pocket Nikon cameras have a smaller (4mm) plug.  If my 
spare is what you want, I am happy to let you have it.



regards

Hi Mac
What about a card reader from K Mart or wherever cost about $25-30. 
Probably cheaper than a lead.

Cheers

Hi Mac
What about a card reader from K Mart or wherever cost about $25-30.  
Probably cheaper than a lead.
