Re: Label & addresses app.

[Ronda Brown]

Hi David & Bill,

I decided to have a fiddle around with a "Label Template" in Pages'09 to be 
able to "Mail Merge" a "Group" from Address Book.
The completed Template will work with Avery Address Labels - 1” x 2-5/8” - 30 
labels per sheet (5160, 5260, 5520, 5630, 5660, 5960, 8160, 8250, 8460, 8660) + 
more.

Because I also needed (as David for his "Return to Sender") to be able to "Mail 
Merge" just my own contact details with this Template, I also created a "Group" 
in Address Book named "ME" (which only has my contact in it).

To use The Template:
1. Double click on "Address Labels.pages"
2. Once the Template opens in Pages go to Edit > Mail Merge
3. Select a Mail Merge Source (select Address Book), then Select your "Group" 
4. Click "Merge"

One Page of 30 Labels for every person in your "Group" will be created.
If you only have one person in your "Group" (i.e - my "ME" Group), one page of 
30 Labels will be created.

If this Template is useful to David & Bill (or anyone on list), you are welcome 
to use it. I have not tried printing from it yet, as my Printer is at the 
'Printer Doctor' :-(
I can email it to you if you wish to try it.

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi All,
 once again thanks to Ronda, Neil, Mervyn & Giuliana, for their input ( 
 always
 willing to help ) I shall be using apples Address Book for printing my "
 address labels ",  as for the " return address" labels I have done those 
 on my
 " MS word 2004 "  ( much to my disgust)  I am amazed that Apples Address 
 Book,
 whilst it does almost everything relating to " mailing ", it  does not have
 this built into it. I certainly don't want to us "MS " by choice
 .can anyone supply me with the email address of
 the appropriate  department at Apple, and I will send it to them to see if
 they could consider putting it into Address book !
 
 Once again thank you for all your time & help
 Bill

Hi Ronni, 

I would be very pleased if you could email this to me,
Thanks for all the effort you have put into this ( Talk about opening a " 
Pandora"s Box " I didn't mean to saddle you with all the extra work, where you 
get the time/effort from amazes me.!!! )

Thanks
Bill

 You know you can set up your own address in Address Book. You can even

Re: Label & addresses app.

[peta belczowski]

Hullo Ronni

Did you mean that you have devised a Template of your own to work with Labels, 
or were the instructions below, addressed to David and Bill, your guide for 
working with the address book or with Keynote on the Apple?

If you have devised your own template to do this, if possible, I also would 
very much appreciate working with your Template for Labels.  At this stage I 
have been continuing to use my Labels on my PC because I have them all set up 
and I am very familiar with what I want to do.  I would certainly be interested 
in setting up all of this information on the Mac.

My attempts at using Avery Labels with the Mac did not quickly fall into line 
with my wishes!

If this is possible Ronni that would be great.

Peta

 Umm Bill,
 
 You know you can set up your own address in Address Book. You can even
 select that card and go to the menu "Card" and select "Make this my card".
 When you print the labels from "your" card, you have the return address
 capability "...built in to it" just as you desire. No need to invoke MS BS
 or complain to any department at Apple. If you wanted to get really fancy,
 you could also set up a graphic logo with your return details and print 
 this
 onto every label by default. Go to print, then set Style as Mailing Labels.
 Click on the "Label" tab, and on the second last line, choose Image: and
 click the button "Set..." to choose your pre-prepared logo.

Re: Label & addresses app.

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Bill,

Yes, you certainly did open a "Pandora's Box"! It got us thinking about labels.
I can never dismiss a challenge, I'm a compulsive solution solver, some people 
think it is a weakness I have, others think it is a strength ;-)

Where do I get the time/effort ... I have no idea? I do know I don't sleep very 
much!

I've emailed the "Address Labels.pages" to your private email address.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Peta,

The Template is for Pages'09. It is for using "Mail Merge" of a "Group" from 
Address Book, as explained below to David & Bill.

I'll email it to your private address and you can play around with it to see if 
it suits your needs.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Lanier Aficio SP C220N

[Reg Whitely]

Thanks Ronni and Peter

I've tried these options and it still frustrates me. As it's only for  
one day I'm about to pursue other options. I've already spent my  
Market Day Sunday time commitment just trying to get a stupid printer  
working, and I've got reports to finish!


Is there anyone out there willing to sponsor our little school with a  
loan of a colour laser printer and toner, Mac compatible, this Sunday  
for Beachlands Market Day!

Hi WAMUGGers

Can anyone help me get a Lanier (Ricoh) Aficio SP C220N colour  
laser printer working using 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4, or on 10.6.2  
on a MacBook Pro? There does not appear to be a Snow Leopard driver  
and the Leopard software recognises the printer but I continuaslly  
get "Print Error" message when trying to print. I desparately need  
it working for my Photo Booth display at my school's Market Day  
this weekend.



Hey Reg,

Matt Broughton on Apple Support Discussions has a solution for  
printing in  OS X 10.6 with this printer.

You can follow the tread & find the details here:



Quote:
"I think I found the solution. I loaded the driver version 1.11 from  
here and set up the printer.


Next, open the Terminal (/Applications/Utiltites). Copy and paste  
the following command into a Terminal window:


sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Printers/Ricoh/

Then hit the Return or Enter key. Enter you password when prompted.

Hopefully, you will then be able to print."
End Quote:

Cheers,
Ronni

The end of the year doth fast approach - and the next WAMUG meeting even faster!

G'day again all WAMUGGERS.

Yep - it's nearly time for the last WAMUG meeting of the year, next Tuesday, 1 
December 2009.

Topics for discussion are; in no particular order:

1.  Parallels 5 (not to be confused with "Parallel Lines", that brilliant 
Blondie album!)
2.  Grapher (everyone has this, but did you know about it?)
3.  New Apple Mouse
4.  Mail revisited (we'll cover some things not covered last time)

Of course, don't forget the question and answer session at the beginning of 
every meeting and a cuppa and biscuits at the end.

(ALSO: look for the "Annual WAMUG Christmas Barbecue" notification also sent 
out today.)

(Details are subject to change without notice)

Location: Geology building 312, Curtin University, Bentley.
Time:   7.30pm - 9.00pm
 WAMUG meets in the large meeting room just inside the front door of 
the building 

Vist  to view a 
detailed map.

Annual WAMUG Christmas Barbecue: 13 December 2009

[Pete Smith]

G'day WAMUGGERS.

I'll bet you'll have a burning desire to plug this into your iCal.


The Annual WAMUG Christmas Barbecue will be held at 12:00 noon on Sunday, 13th 
December 2009 in the grounds of the old Heathcote Hospital.

Click the following link to locate the venue in Google Maps:



Streetsmart map ref: 402 D4

All offers of help with the preparation will be most welcome.

All meat, condiments and soft drinks will be provided, but please let us know 
by Friday, 4 December if you intend to come along so we can get an idea of 
numbers. This will help immensely in estimating quantities. Entry is free to 
all WAMUG members, but a gold-coin donation by non-members would be welcome.

Regards,

Pete Smith

Hi Ronni,

that is just what I wanted, I hesitate to ask this after all 
the hard work you've put into it, but I can't find where to set it for the 2 
Labels I use i.e  Avery L7162 & Avery L7651, Thanks once again for all your

 I don't know of a way to use the "Mailing Labels" function for multiple
 copies of the same "return" address.
 
 Another way you could have done this project is using the Envelopes 
 function
 Print.
 
 NOTE:If you want to print envelopes, first make sure your printer is
 configured to print them and then place envelopes in the printer.

Ronni - thank you so much.

Yes, (referring to your reply to Bill) -  I also wonder where you find the time 
to respond to various cries for help whenever I see your name pop up on this 
list - and this seems to be more and more frequently.   I guess that it must be 
a compulsion with you to answer each challenge, and I personally have certainly 
benefited from your replies.

Please take a break over Christmas!

 Hi David & Bill,
 
 I decided to have a fiddle around with a "Label Template" in Pages'09 to 
 be able to "Mail Merge" a "Group" from Address Book.
 The completed Template will work with Avery Address Labels - 1” x 2-5/8” - 
 30 labels per sheet (5160, 5260, 5520, 5630, 5660, 5960, 8160, 8250, 8460, 
 8660) + more.
 
 Because I also needed (as David for his "Return to Sender") to be able to 
 "Mail Merge" just my own contact details with this Template, I also 
 created a "Group" in Address Book named "ME" (which only has my contact in 
 it).
 
 To use The Template:
 1. Double click on "Address Labels.pages"
 2. Once the Template opens in Pages go to Edit > Mail Merge
 3. Select a Mail Merge Source (select Address Book), then Select your 
 "Group" 
 4. Click "Merge"
 
 One Page of 30 Labels for every person in your "Group" will be created.
 If you only have one person in your "Group" (i.e - my "ME" Group), one 
 page of 30 Labels will be created.
 
 If this Template is useful to David & Bill (or anyone on list), you are 
 welcome to use it. I have not tried printing from it yet, as my Printer is 
 at the 'Printer Doctor' :-(
 I can email it to you if you wish to try it.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

iPhone mail

[Pedro]

Good morning all

I seem to be having some problems with my iPhone (3GS) mail. 
It seems to be receiving mail ok as I just received Ronni's last post. When I 
try to open the application it stays open for about 1 sec trying to connect 
then crashes.

I have turned it off several times have looked at all the mail setting and they 
are ok.
Is a complete restore the next step?

any help gratefully received

Re: Odd desktop behaviour

[Jon Davison]

Uh oh, I think something is amiss!

All open windows on the desktop have the max/min buttons grey'd out.  
Apps with other windows like Mail work fine, so it looks like it may  
be a Finder problem. Trying to select anything
on the desktop takes forever and as I am typing this, these desktop  
actions are going off minutes later.


Grey'd out windows in background all move around the screen (at the  
right speed it seems) but cannot access anything. Dock is okay, Safari  
opens okay and browser works no problem.


Mac OS X 10.5.6/2 x 2.66 dual core/2GbRAM.


Any thoughts on this please?

Thanks
Jon

Hi Jon,

In order, I would try:

  Quit the Finder with File- Quit.
  restart
  check that you have 10% disk space free on your system drive

Re: Odd desktop behaviour

[Jon Davison]

Further to my last posting a few minutes ago. Now I cannot select  
anything on the desktop, including any drives, internal or external.  
Mail still works fine as does Photoshop and other apps.
When in Photoshop, cannot access the desktop at all. So no access to  
the HD. Force Quit shows no sign of Finder probs etc. Cannot access  
Disk Utilities either. Should I reboot from system
disk and try Disk Utilities? or does this look like a deeper issue?  
hope not.


Thanks again
Jon

Hi John,

1.Can you get to Home > Library > Preferences and drag "com.apple.finder.plist" 
to the trash.
2.Empty the Trash
3.Relaunch Finder

Also you should download and install the OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update  


Cheers,
Ronni

Extracting audio from iTunes video

[rb...@iinet.net.au]

Hi

Our dance teacher bought a video clip from itunes.

She wants to extract the audio from it to use in a dance production as mp3.

Unfortunately the files is in a "protected format" and we don't seem to be having any luck with iMovieHD or FCP.

Due to OS upgrade i don't seem to have QT Pro any more.

Any ideas please?

many thanks

Blitto
