Google weirdness
Hehe, Don't get me wrong... I love google as a search engine - use it all the time. Also like the various search restrictors - like Pages from Australia (so long as you don't believe that it actually works 100% what with people hosting in other countries etc) and when, say, looking for stuff relating to new hardware or software, I often restrict to past month or past year. Often this works reasonably well Did a search today - gave about 41,500 results - thought I would narrow it down a bit so limited it to past year - gave about 154,000 results So... At ANY time there were around 41,000 results which met the search criteria - of which 154,000 of them were in the past year!!!

When I plug the EyeTV Hybrid in, the “Next” key stays greyed out – and if I hit the “Previous” key then I get the message: “No hardware is available which supports the TV standards of the selected country” (and, yes, I did select Australia). At this point, I have no option but to cancel the set-up assistant. The EyeTV message “No hardware is available ...” seems to gel with the fact that System profiler doesn’t even see the device as attached to the USB hub. I’m currently wondering if the USB port is, for some reason, not supplying enough power to fire up the EyeTV unit, which is why it would be good to know if ANYONE can confirm that a circa 2006 EyeTV Hybrid WILL work when plugged directly into a Nov 2009 27” i7 iMac running Snow Leopard. I’ve also just discovered a different problem/issue/weirdness with the EyeTV unit when trying to run it on my MacBook Pro – as I mentioned in my previous post, the EyeTV shows up in system profiler OK – but I just had the following experience: - Tried to run the EyeTV but it told me I was plugged into a USB1 port - I then tried the other port and it again told me I was plugged into a USB1 port (and system profiler showed the unit on a “USB bus” rather than a “USB high-speed bus” - I found this very confusing as I thought both the ports were USB 2! - However, after confirming the unit was working on my 24” iMac, I tried it later on the MacBook and this time it worked fine – in both USB ports – and system profiler now showed the unit on a “USB high-speed bus”. I found this EXTREMELY confusing – how can the USB ports migrate between the “USB bus” and the “USB high-speed bus” ??!! However, I don’t think this has any bearing on the problem with the 27” iMac as system profiler only shows this computer as having “USB high-speed bus” x 2 I am now wondering if it is worth buying a powered USB2 hub and trying the unit on that.

Re: Deleting Mail from the Server
Eudora in all its glory is still available with a complete makeover of it's engine with the help of the Mozilla family of software. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Eudora_OSE Very competent email client form testing thus far. Similar to Thunderbird well it is as both have same engine, but Eudora Open Source has the little things that made Eudora special. Well worth the visit, and becoming more of a permanent fixture, although Mail sits well for me in my OS X little world just fits, and plays well with the other toys. Cheers! `RobD...

I had Eudora set to remove the messages automatically from the Server but I can't find out how to do this in Mail. I have deleted messages and emptied the Trash but they are all still on the Server. Surely I don't have to select delete them via Web Mail. Help please.

Re: Annual WAMUG Christmas Barbecue: 12 December 2010: Reminder 1

Just a reminder: don't forget to plug this into your iCal. The Annual WAMUG Christmas Barbecue will be held at 12:00 noon on Sunday, 12th December 2009 in the grounds of the old Heathcote Hospital, Applecross. Click the following link to locate the venue in Google Maps: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=qhl=engeocode=q=heathcote+hospital+applecrosssll=-25.335448,135.745076sspn=63.276794,93.164063ie=UTF8ll=-32.006366,115.848513spn=0.015121,0.022745z=16 Where will we be? If you select the 'Earth' view and zoom in so that the old hospital is very clear, you'll see the car park roundabout (brown) with grey car parking off to the right and, more importantly, a light coloured footpath heading off to the right and circling around the whole hospital. If you set off to the right along that path, you'll come to where we were last year just under the trees next to the first building (the long skinny one with the three bits jutting out). Barring unforeseen circumstances, that's where we'll be. Considering last year was a scorcher, it's a top spot. 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 next Tuesday, 7 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. Just reply to this email if you intend coming.

Airplay from iPhone4 - sound but no video
OK, I've watched Apple's video on AirPlay: http://www.apple.com/ios/ click See AirPlay in action So I know this should work! Tested and working: Iphone4 updated to latest software New Apple TV (Nov 2010) connected to TV and working Home sharing enabled on iMac, AppleTV, and iPhone Airplay switched on on Apple TV Videos to try: 1) Episode of Ancient Discoveries TV show, downloaded from iTunes store (free sample ages ago) 2) Episode of Rake, downloaded from iView, converted using WinX HD Video Converter for Mac using AppleTV default and classified in iTunes as TV Show 3) The same downloaded Episode of Rake but converted using AppleTV HD default and classified in iTunes as Movie RESULTS All three videos play fine on the iMac All three videos play fine on the TV using AppleTV and homesharing from the iMac All three videos are synched over to the iPhone and play fine on the iPhone Airplay from the iPhone to the Apple TV works fine for sound - Albums songs play and the associated artwork is displayed. Airplay from ANY of the three videos on the iPhone results in the sound playing fine but just a preview icon for the movie being displayed. Apples video demonstrates Airplay (from an iPad) streaming video to the TV via the Apple TV and they say it works from the iPhone - I get the same Airplay button as in the video and I can select Apple TV - the trouble is that only the sound gets streamed - not the video. I've done some googling but none of the posts I find seem to reflect my problem. Any clues out there? TIA Neil -- Neil R.
