 Hi James,
 
 You are using OS X 10.4.11, I remember this happening in Tiger.
 
 First Solution:
 
 Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the following 
 (suggest make copies to the desktop first if in doubt):
 
 com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
 NetworkInterfaces.plist
 preferences.plist
 com.apple.nat.plist
 
 All these files will regenerate as necessary when the associated system 
 features are accessed. 
 If you're using Airport or Internet Sharing you'll have to reestablish the 
 appropriate settings, because these will have been lost when the preferences 
 files are removed. 
 Small price to pay, however for a permanent, and very simple solution to this 
 irritating problem.
 
 Second Solution I Found:
 
 1. Open System Preferences and go to Security. 
 
 2. Tick off Require password to unlock each secure system preference. 
 
 Now click show all at the top. You will probably have to quit System 
 Preferences to make the change take effect. 
 
 3. Open System Preferences again and choose Network. (You will probably 
 get the annoying pop up once, but this time when you click OK it shouldn't 
 loop). 
 
 4. Notice that the padlock in the bottom left corner is now locked. Click it 
 to unlock, and enter your password (assuming you are the administrator). 
 
 5. Now click back on the show all button. The Mac will think you made a 
 change and ask if you want to  Apply configuration changes click Apply. 
 
 Once it saves the changes your problem should be fixed. You can go back to 
 the Security pane and untick the option you enabled earlier.
 
 Cheers,

Macspeech dictate

2010-07-23 Thread Glenn Cardwell
I purchased this voice recognition software in Feb 2010.

Now tells me that: This profile's microphone is missing. 

I use the headset that came with the software. The microphone is identified as 
C-media USB audio device. The headset is plugged in as normal. A restart 
delivers the same message.

Have gone to system preferences  speech recognition  settings  line in as 
well as sound  input  line in

Sounds like a failure somewhere as nothing has changed since it was operative.

Any tips gratefully received.

Hi David,

Yes, I would like to do this, but I have not found a way to achieve this with 
iWeb 3.0.1  I publish to MobileMe.
If you use security 'password protect' in iWeb it protects the whole website.

At one stage I wished to have separate passwords for different pages, as I 
found people were downloading everything on my website, not just the one they 
had asked for.

Do you know of any way I can do this please?

 Hi Pedro
 
 What you've mentioned is called a Kernel Panic.
 It can happen for a variety of reasons, both software based and hardware
 based.
 
 First thing I would try is to repair Permissions from Disk Utility.
 After that if still problems, reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo update from the
 Apple download.
 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
 
 If you're fairly game, you can also work through Console (Applicataions -
 Utility Folder - Console). That can sometimes list what is causing the
 Kernel Panic and point to the problem.
 
 These three links may also help to trace the problem,...

 If running the Combo OS X 10.6.4 doesn't solve the Kernel Panic on the iMac.
 Do you have any external devices attached to the iMac?
 If so, disconnect all external devise except keyboard and mouse.
 See if you experience any Kernel Panic then.
 
 Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem or software as Daniel 
 has mentioned.
 Frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device can cause Kernel Panic.
 
 Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc? Running the Apple Hardware Test in 
 Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent 
 hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent 
 kernel panics. 
 If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are 
 using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before 
 starting the test. 
 'Looping On' should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test 
 button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. 
 If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it 
 found. 
 If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with 
 the failure.
 In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it 
 a good run, perhaps overnight.
 
 In case no problem is found after running the test overnight, you can exit 
 the loop and stop the test by clicking on the Stop Test or Cancel buttons.
 
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni
 
 


Evening All

Just a quick note to thank Daniel and Ronni.  Problem solved after ejecting and 
un-mounting the old hard drive.

No more Kernel Panic

Thank you again

regards

Pedro

Has anyone who uses Google Chrome browser experienced problems with opening

I have been told that some people who use this browser have not been able to 
open PDFs created on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat.  I'm just wondering what would 
cause a problem like this.

Re: Macspeech dictate

2010-07-23 Thread Justin Davies

Hi Glenn, I had a different problem with Macspeech in that I ended up with lots 
of profiles. This happens when the profile is stored inside a dropbox folder or 
similar. Not sure if this is your issue - however I found the macspeech people 
responsive when I lodged the issue with them. I'm using the plantronics headset 
that came with the unit.
Best regards

Evening,

Assuming web site is Apache powered as this is installed within OS X, solution 
lies within .htacces. 
Which is the Apache process for accomplishing various custom processes within a 
 page/s or directories.

This following guide  as it states is comprehensive , but many more available.
Comprehensive guide to .htaccess- intro

Read carefully as very powerful, but simple. 
Would suggest running tests on Apache server within local machine before 
releasing to the wild, good but old tutorial on Apache within OS X install.

To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box  
next to Require password to unlock each secure system preference.  
Then lock Security.


yes the strange looping of the error message stopped, i have to see  
if i can now setup the lan  connection to a win-xp laptop

meets

2010-07-23 Thread Laura Bernay

Hi all,
I am new to the list, not new to Macs, been using for 23 years. But I just got 
a new MacBook Pro. Every time I get a new computer I always feel I am not 
getting the most out of it because it takes time to play with it for hours 
and hours to find out what it does better than the last one I had. So I just 
kind of carry on doing what I previously did and every now and then pick up a 
trick or two.
Does anyone know if there are monthly meetings being held anymore? Or anything 
else that would inspire to get to learning more about my marvellous machine?
I already use it for my work a lot aas I am in the music industry but I am sure 
there are more amazing things on here that I don't know about and would like to 
hang out with the geeks I guess!

Thanks,
Laura

Re: Connecting Macbook pro to iMac

2010-07-23 Thread Paul K
Not as far as I am aware and I have heard this question a few times now.

Something that comes to mind however is remote desktop/screen sharing.
Some screen sharing solutions offer a choice as to which screen to connect
to, so the idea would be to connect to the laptops 'second' screen (if
possible without a screen being attached that is) and set it to full screen.

Apple's shareholders would not be impressed ;-) Cinema display anyone?
This sounds so convenient that it is likely to be impossible ;-)


Good luck
Paul

Re: Tutorials.

2010-07-23 Thread Ronda Brown
Hello Rob,

Thanks for your reply, I had looked at .htaccess some time back, but never 
found the time to pursue the possibilities.

I had thought of perhaps:
Creating a second Site in iWeb with ‘No Password Protection’ displaying an 
'Introduction and Description of my Tutorials' and move it to the top of the 
list in iWeb.
It would then be the default site when published to MobileMe.

Then link from the 'Introduction  Description' site, to my other site which is 
password protected. 

I guess this would be similar to what David suggested.

Thanks again Rob for your impute.

Re: Western Digital 1TB drive

2010-07-23 Thread Jon Davison


Hi everyone. I have two problems, as usual. So I would welcome any  
suggestions here;


1. Has anyone had any problems with these 1TB WD drives? mine has  
always done odd things, like crash, freeze the system etc. So now I  
have wiped the drive in TechTool Pro 4.

After getting info, I find this;

Capacity: 931.39 GB
Available: 513.2 GB
Used: 418.19 GB

The drive is empty (well it appears so) so am just wondering what is  
taking up this space? I tried to verify and/or repair in Disk Utility  
but it says that it cannot unmount the drive.
So not sure what is happening. I wanted to erase and reformat the  
drive to see if it can still be used, but it appears there may be a  
problem at the root level?

Any clues re the above drive?

My system is;
MacPro 2 x 2.66 GHz dual/2GB/1TB/10.5.1

2. I cannot update the OS software or any other on the above machine.  
It just stalls, I can wait all day and it does nothing.



ps; Thank you Bob for taking the time to look at my 2 x G5's with the  
RAM problem. The cases are now happy in their new incarnation as  
letter boxes!


Thanks
Jon

Re: Tutorials.

2010-07-23 Thread David Noel

Hi Ronni --

-- As I said, we have used methods to password individual pages on our
sites, but on looking at what you do I suspect that your approach may
possibly rule out these methods.

-- Briefly, our domains are hosted on iiNet, and the iiNet structure
allows you to apply a password (and username) gateway to any page or
folder of the domain. Obviously such a gateway on a folder would bar
or allow access to any deeper pages in the hierarchy.

-- I don't have any idea whether whoever hosts your pages has similar
facilities, I'm afraid. Sorry if my response raised false
expectations!

Re: Western Digital 1TB drive

2010-07-23 Thread Daniel Kerr

Hi Jon

I've also used (and installed) lots of Western Digital drives and they all
work well. (Probably close to over a hundred drives easily over the last 2-3
years) And I also use about 7+ Western Digital drives here. All work well.

I would try formatting it in Disk Utility and see how it goes. If still the
same you can try a zero all data/low level format will sometimes wipe out
any bad sectors as well. (Just takes a while).

2. Try Repairing Permissions. Does it still on a particular part of the
update? You could try downloading them manually from here
http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and then see which ones install and
which ones stop. You may then have to remove it from /Receipts and work out
which (and why) one is stopping.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

 Evening,
 
 Assuming web site is Apache powered as this is installed within OS X, 
 solution lies within .htacces. 
 Which is the Apache process for accomplishing various custom processes 
 within a  page/s or directories.
 
 This following guide  as it states is comprehensive , but many more 
 available.
 Comprehensive guide to .htaccess- intro
 
 Read carefully as very powerful, but simple. 
 Would suggest running tests on Apache server within local machine before 
 releasing to the wild, good but old tutorial on Apache within OS X install.
 Apache Web Serving With Mac OS X
 
 Adjust accordingly utilising search engines to update or reference errors / 
 problems.

 Hi David,
 
 Yes, I would like to do this, but I have not found a way to achieve this 
 with iWeb 3.0.1  I publish to MobileMe.
 If you use security 'password protect' in iWeb it protects the whole 
 website.
 
 At one stage I wished to have separate passwords for different pages, as I 
 found people were downloading everything on my website, not just the one 
 they had asked for.
 
 Do you know of any way I can do this please?

Re: Tutorials.

Hi David,

Yes, unfortunately when publishing to MobileMe you can only password protect 
the entire site, not individual pages.

I am investigating further about using sub-domains with iWeb. 
Publishing a Private Site as a sub-site within the root folder of the main 
site.
Or
As I mentioned in my reply to Rob, Creating a second Site in iWeb with ‘No 
Password Protection’ displaying an 'Introduction and Description of my 
Tutorials' and move it to the top of the list in iWeb.
It would then be the default site when published to MobileMe.
Then link from the 'Introduction  Description' site, to my other site which is 
password protected. 
Or
Leave my Site 'As it is' ;-)

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Ronni --
 
 -- As I said, we have used methods to password individual pages on our
 sites, but on looking at what you do I suspect that your approach may
 possibly rule out these methods.
 
 -- Briefly, our domains are hosted on iiNet, and the iiNet structure
 allows you to apply a password (and username) gateway to any page or
 folder of the domain. Obviously such a gateway on a folder would bar
 or allow access to any deeper pages in the hierarchy.
 
 -- I don't have any idea whether whoever hosts your pages has similar
 facilities, I'm afraid. Sorry if my response raised false
 expectations!
