Re: Accounting software
Hi Neil, Your speed should be fine. I just tried the video again and it isn’t playing correctly (as it did when I watched it early this morning). The iPod version downloads and plays full screen very clearly. Perhaps somehow the other link has become corrupted? Try clicking on the iPod Download button.

Re: Accounting software
Just to add: OSX 10.6.5 Quicktime Player 10.0 (118) I did notice on this page http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/wctest/apple/level2/wctest.html It says: If you did not specify your connection speed when you installed QuickTime, or if your Internet connection has changed since then, you should set the connection speed in the QuickTime control panel (Mac OS 9 and Windows) or in the QuickTime pane of System Preferences - Streaming tab (Mac OS X). I don't use Quicktime player that much and I couldn't remember if I had or had not set this correctly - however I couldn't find the QuickTime pane of System Preferences and QuickTime player did not seem to have a preferences menu item. As Adrian says, it is not a big problem as you can always download the video and then watch it - still, not exactly the it just works Apple way ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Permissions problems after installing 10.6.8 update
Hi I have just ran the 10.6.8 update and strictly followed Ronni's Combo Update list. I have just got to Step No. 7. Repair permissions and ran it and had loads and loads of events on it. They seemed to be mainly related to two of the three Software updates that I ran in Step No 6 Run Software Update, those are: Airport Utility and Java. Anyway the final note was Warning: SUID file System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ArdAgent has been modified and will not be repaired. Followed by Permissions Repair Complete. This was run on the actual disc WDC WD101EADS-65L5B1 Media. As it seemed as if the SUID file, whatever it is, had not been repaired, I ran Repair Disk Permissions again expecting it to deal with just it and let me know if it could fix it or not. Instead it went through another 8 or so minutes of similar repairs to the files, I would say identical, but I did not record them but the system seemed to concentrate on Airport Utility and Java and changing -rw-rw-r-- to -rw-r--r-- or lrwxr-xr-x to -rw-r--r-- and ended up again with the same warning. Now I know nothing of what the Permission repairs is trying to achieve, but if it has already done it once, why did it have to do it again? Well, as I was still get the Warning message, I thought I might try and repair the permissions on the HD instead. So I ran Repair on the HD, well it told me it was going to take 8 minutes, but took a lot less time, still gave me loads of Airport Utility and Java errors of the type mentioned above and finished again with the same SUID warning. What do I do? Do I keep repairing permissions 'till I get no errors? Or do I presume that the statement Permissions Repair Complete is a fact, even though I know it is not, as each subsequent running of it has shown me? What does the SUID file warning mean? It has been modified, does that mean it is broken? Will not be repaired, does that mean it is not necessary to repair? Does anyone have any idea what it does and how it would have become modified?

Re: Permissions problems after installing 10.6.8 update
Hi Matt, There is nothing for you to worry about here. They are not actually errors; it’s just the Permissions database hasn’t been updated for the OS yet. And you can disregard any that begin with l, as in should be lrwxr-xr-x , they are lrw-r—r— The l before the Permissions is a Unix symlink, somewhat like an alias; it just means some components have been moved to a different location, but the old database is still being used. They are not errors. They can not be repaired. There is nothing to repair. There is nothing you can do to “fix” the “problems” because there is no problem to fix. As far as the permissions database knows, that is supposed to be the actual file, not a link to the file (the l in lrwxr-xr-x). If Apple updates something but doesn’t update the repair permissions database to reflect the change, it will post the note you see (or something similar). Even though it says “repaired,” it isn’t because it can’t be. There is nothing wrong; it’s just different. They are not truly errors. Note that they begin with “User differs” or “Permissions differ.” Those are simply alert messages. Same with those containing SUID. Ignore them. They won’t go away and will appear every time you repair permissions. They cause no harm. Have a glass of red, put your feet up and relax, you are ok ;-) Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 03/07/2011, at 8:25 PM, Matt Falvey wrote: Hi I have just ran the 10.6.8 update and strictly followed Ronni's Combo Update list.

Re: Permissions problems after installing 10.6.8 update
Hi again Matt, I have re-read your post. You repair permissions on your System Volume (on the Mounted Drive -Your Startup Volume - Macintosh HD) NOT the WDC WD101EADS-65L5B1 Media. Repair Permissions only works properly when performed on the startup volume, not the Main Drive. To repair disk permissions: 1. Open Disk Utility on a currently running Mac by opening /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility 2. Select the system volume you wish to repair from the column on the left. 3. Select the First Aid tab to the right. 4. Click the Repair Disk Permissions button to view and fix any permission problems.

Re: Problems after update

Although I have a reasonable backup scheme it is a worry when something mis behaves as where does one restore to if the computer is suspect? In due course I may have managed to solve the problem myself, but it is always of great help to have some-one more knowledgable to suggest the path down which to go, otherwise an enormous amount of time can be wasted trying various things in the wrong order. Very many thanks for your help and thanks to others for their input.

But looking at my main work doc this past week - a 48 page mag, it has to be sent LOW res to actually get to me and there the problem lies! Its just that I dislike proof reading on screen. Many thanks all. Bill On 01/07/2011, at 9:20 PM, Merv Bond wrote: Bill Recently I have received documents that are in say, Times New Roman, but the characters appear ragged. If I select all and then set the font to Times New Roman Regular all is well. This occurs when the original text is sent as Times New Roman postscript. Give it a go.

When I say you could have the printer set to draft quality, that is a per document decision that you can make in the print dialog. MS Word, for instance, may be using its own print dialog and setting the printer to high quality, but when you use the OS X print dialog, you may have draft mode selected.

So I think it is not the printer. Bill On 01/07/2011, at 5:49 PM, cm wrote: Hi Bill, Not sure I can help but what do you mean by poor quality? Is it that the text badly laid-out or is it that he individual letters are rough? Could it be that you have your printer set to draft quality?

Whether using Adobe Acrobat 8 pro or Preview, I cannot print PDf text at anything like decent quality. The printer is a Canon MX310. Done a few miles but all other softwares print fine.
