HP power supply

[KEVIN Lock]

Over the weekend I salvaged two HP PSC all-in-one printers from a 
roadside.  I have managed to get them working, however I do not have 
any spare  HP power adaptors.


The HP power adaptor has a three pin grey plastic plug to the printer.

I'm hoping that someone may have such an adaptor gathering dust in the shed?

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

[Mike Fuller]

Thanks Graeme

I'm not sure which printer you have (possibly Canon) but my experience with the 
RIHAC CISS with my Epson Photo R230 has been very easy and almost flawless over 
the last 15 months. No drama with having to insert chips (they're in the 
supplied continuous cartridges) and the fitting took about 5 minutes. I have 
refilled once in the time I've had the system - a less than 5 minute process.

The quality of the prints, to my untrained eye, were at least as good as the 
Epson carts. I had a problem with fading at one stage and this was due to  
using lower quality Kodak paper. On the couple of times I've contacted RIHAC 
for technical issues I was impressed by their commitment and expertise.

And John, if you're concerned about quality my suggestion is to be more mindful 
of getting good paper with a resin coating such as Ilford or perhaps the Epson.

Cheers

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

RIHAC continuous ink system


Following the meeting earlier this year I took the step of buying the rihac 
continuous ink supply system as a means of reducing the cost of genuine or 
refilled cartridges.
To say that the continuous ink system is complicated is an understatement.
The manual is quite comprehensive and if there is any criticism of this it 
would be that the diagrams and pictures showing the various parts etc are not 
quite as clear as you may expect

To connect to this system you must remove the small gold chips at the base of 
each original ink cartridge and fit this to the corresponding colour of the set 
with the kit.
The positioning of these chips is critical as is fitting the chip to the 
correct colour.
I spent 50 minutes on the phone with Sam a senior technician with rihac last 
Friday trying various things in order to make the system work.
Sam then offered to send me a completely new kit with the chips fitted and this 
arrived Monday morning early
This fix did not allow me to print so again I spent almost an hour on the phone 
with Sam doing head cleans etc until we tried a restart and after several test 
prints I finally achieved a good quality copy

The saga is over and I am now able to print again
When I next need ink I will order 100ml bottles from rihac and these will cost 
$13 plus postage for 100 ml

I cannot comment on the quality of the ink so far but I would reckon that I 
have about 12 to 18 months supply with the system now. The ink may last longer 
that the printer itself

Although I did encounter many problems during the set up stage the service and 
phone support by Sam  at RIHAC was first class.
Perhaps some of the problems were were related to my advanced age but the 
support provided by Sam really was very good

Thought that this may be of interest to other users

Re: Time Capsule backups

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

To add a little to James & Alan's comments. 

1.  Time Machine usually needs 2-3 times the size of what it's backing-up (20%? 
Workspace). 
I certainly would not be doing a first time backup of the iMovie files while 
using the computer. 

Before you attempt another backup of the iMovie files, check Console Logs to 
see entries for Time Machine 'backupd'.

A) Open Console, in Applications/Utilities, and if you don’t see a two-column 
window showing log files in the left-hand panel, then click the Show Log List 
button in the toolbar. 

B) Select the All Messages entry in the left-hand column.

C) To find the activity for Time Machine, you only need to know that the Time 
Machine process is called backupd. 

D) Click in the search box at the top right of the window (or just press 
Command-Option-F), then type backupd. 
As you type, Console will filter the results to only show those entries related 
to the backupd process. 

The results are shown in three columns, and it’s the Message column that’s most 
useful. 
The messages reveal how much data was backed up, what older backups were 
removed, and other general information about the backup run.

Cheers,
Ronni

RE: Time Capsule backups

[Crisp, Peter]

Ok, thanks for the tip on excluding movies from backup. It seems
sensible to exclude and I can see how editing numerous files would
quickly expand the backup to be a huge thing.

Hi Peter

James's suggestion to localise the potential trouble is good.  But I
recommend that you totally exclude movies from Time Machine backup.
Make a
manual backup of movies some other way. TM will backup entire files each
time.  If you are editing a movie clip, then each resultant edited clip
is a
new file.  By the end of a days work you can have 100 Gigs of just a few
small clips.

Hi Peter,

Can I suggest that you go into your System Preferences, then Time
Machine, Options... and click on the Plus sign to select your movies
folder to exclude it from backups (you can also check the size of the
movies folder in the Finder). Then, ask your machine to "Back Up Now".
Check that the required size goes back to a reasonable level (if it
doesn't, there must be something else going on). This backup will at
least ensure that your normal files are safe.

Once a reasonable backup has occurred and you have some time for an
uninterrupted backup, go back into your Time Machine preferences and
remove your movies from the exclusion list and "Back Up Now".

Re: Time Capsule backups

[Alexander Hartner]

This doesn't sound right? How are you connected to the time capsule?  
If you are on wireless, I suggest getting a network cable and do a  
over the wire backup. It should run much faster. My guess is that it  
is taking multiple backups of each of the iMovie clips. In my case  
iMovie splits the imports into multiple clips.

Time Capsule backups

[Crisp, Peter]

Hi folks, last week I raised about importing AVCHD video files from a
Camcorder to my Macbook (10.6) and with some expert in person tuition
from my father and reading some macrumours threads on the topic specific
to my camcorder model, I was able to get it to recognise the camcorder
and in turn import the whole 276 individual clips starting from back in
2008 when I first got the camcorder. Approx 5 hours of 'film' time. It
ran overnight to import it all and successfully finished. The memory
size of all this was around 36GB.

 

Now that I am successfully over this hurdle, the resultant 'need' for
the Time Capsule to back it all up results in a huge back-up job which I
had expected. What I couldn't understand was why the importing of 'only'
36GB into iMovie resulted in the need for the Macbook to decide the
backup needed was 116GB! It had repeatedly failed through the day
yesterday to complete the backup successfully. I thought it new best so
off it went again around 5:30 yesterday evening - this time with me
looking over it with the Time Machine window open showing the progress
bar. By 9PM it had reached around 50GB through the backup and shortly
after this I noticed it had appeared to have finished - but in fact it
hadn't. Shortly after all this, the backup started all over again -
right from zero having debited the space remaining on the Time Capsule
by the 50GB from what it was 4 hours earlier! The only other program
running was Mail. 

 

This morning again - it had just commenced yet another 116GB backup from
about the 8MB point when I noted it. I have no doubt it will fail again.

 

I fear that it will take many attempts before it will successfully
complete the 116GB backup that it dearly wants to do for me. 

 

Questions I have are this.

 

1.  Why would importing 36GB of iMovie files result in 116GB with no
other significant traffic having occurred?
2.  How long should a 116GB back up really take?
3.  Maybe I should inhibit any further backups till an overnight

4.  Is it possible that the cycle for a monthly backup
coincidentally occurred at the same time as my 36GB import resulting in
such an extra large Backup needed?
5.  What can I do here - it seems to be in a loop very difficult to
break out of?

Re: ITunes authorisation

[Lloyd White]

Thanks Ronni,

The AppleStore came back online again last night and I was able to log in
and out and authorise the computer. The statement was that "this computer is
already authorised". Which I knew! However, now the problematic Audiobook
has been transferred to the iPod and will play.

I dragged the Podcast items that would not transfer to the iPod, to the
desktop and then back again. Then they were transferred correctly to the
iPod. One of life's great mysteries!

Hi Lloyd,

After you have authorized your computer on your administrator account, you 
wneed to log out and log back in to the user account you would like to play 
your purchases from. 

Once you are logged back in your user account, simply open iTunes, select an 
iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. 
The item should begin to play.


Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Printing shadow boxes in Word 2004 to an HP 8000 colour laser printer

[Tim Law]

Folks,

The mystery computer is a MAC pro desktop with 2 x 2.66 ghz dual core  
intel Xeon.


Sally's fleshware is currently lacking adequate memory and data  
processing capacity to implement the excellent suggestions made so  
far.  She has tried an external plug in, but found the bottle emptied  
rather quickly, and is now finding I/O data corruption becoming an  
impediment to a cohesive implementation process.


More later when normal fleshware functions are rebuilt following  
routine maintenance under sleep cycle.

Hi Tim,

I agree with Daniel, try running Word in a New User Account.

I think I would:
1.  UN-install M$ office using their Uninstall tool
2. Then empty the trash
3. Restart her Mac ... whatever it is ;-)
4. Install Rosetta
5. Install office
6. Update Office
7. Restart her Mac

The uninstall clears out a lot of files that could get corrupted.
The restart helps clear any other cache data.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Tim

You could also get her to try running Word under a new "test" user  
to see if

it does the same thing.
As Neil mentioned, it may be her copy of Word, that is causing some  
problems

(or preferences).
If it prints fine under a new user, then there is something in her  
User

account that is causing the issue.
If it still does the same thing, it wouldn't hurt to remove Word  
and all

it's preferences and reinstall it from scratch with all the updates.

Worth a try.

And no dramas on processor,..these things happen. :o) But yes if  
she's
running 10.6.x and Parallels then it won't be a PPC processor (Gx  
series
were PPC) as neither of those would run. Just being picky to help  
the thread

along,...lol :o)

Really sorry to create the initial confusion.  I thought Sally had a
dual processor G5. But obviously she now has something different.

There is mention of this problem at
http://www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Word/2486/0
but no apparent fix so far.

I will forward all the responses to her and she may yet find a fix
herself.

Appreciate the feedback, and again apologies for starting the
confusion by posting she had a G5.

Hi Severin (and Ronni)

You are correct, the G5 was a PPC processor. There was an iMac G5
and a PPC
PowerMac G5.
Intel didn't make a G5, so the MacPro wasn't a G5.
(Sorry to correct Ronni) :o)
And yes 10.6.x requires Intel only. 10.5 was the last OS that would
work on
a PPC machine (but killed off Classic support).

Hope that helps clarify a little.

Kind Regards

All,

Thanks for the tips so far.

I tested to see if I could recreate the problem on my iMac

document
printed fine, and so did the PDF version - with clear shadow
box and no
shadow on the text inside the box. I have a Dell CN3110 colour
laser.

So - The document CAN print properly and it CAN be saved
correctly as a
PDF. This would appear to put Word 2004 out of the equation as
the
problem.

But - On Sally's machine it cannot, despite using the same

Re: Inkjet cheap ink

[KEVIN Lock]

Horses for courses!  For most  print jobs non original inks perform well.

I would think that a serious print job would rate a dedicated  photo 
printer and with that, genuine inks, but for the bulk of print jobs 
on a regular printer my eye cannot see the difference.


Over the years I have saved many hundreds of dollars on after market 
inks and carts.

ITunes authorisation

[Lloyd White]

I decided to restore my iPod and restore all my music etc.
Some of my podcasts appear in iTunes but have not been transferred.

97 of my songs have not been transferred because my computer is "not
authorised" to play them. But they were in the yesterday.

On of the AudioBooks I just bought from the iTunes Apple Store is not
authorised although it was yesterday.

When I click on the Authorise button it says an error occurred at the iTunes
Shop and to try again later. Been doing this all day!

Ideas would be appreciated.
