Office for Mac
Hi All I have downloaded Microsoft Office For Mac 2011 Free Trial to use on my 24 iMac (2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, OS 10.4.11). When running the installer it states I require OS 10.5.8 or higher. Does anyone know if I can run an earlier version of Office without an upgrade of the operating system? Alternatively, how much does upgrading to 10.5 cost and is it worth it (and any potential complications)? I have had a look at Apple support for 10.5 but can only find updates for it.

Re: OSX Lion to hit App Store tomorrow
Hi Guys It Might be wise to remind everyone to make sure they have a bootable backup of their current system before doing the upgrade to Lion.

Not sure what happened to that 6.05pm one, cause the sent time on my email was 2.59pm Lol. Maybe it took the long way home? :o) (But thanks for letting me know it was there. I only got one). Will let you know how the Bootable disc goes. *If* it comes out tomorrow some stage I'll give it a go tomorrow night and see what happens. It definitely won't be being installed on my main machine (MacBooK Pro) as I need that for work on Friday. Can't imagine being out somewhere and having to say oh sorry, can't do that as this doesn't work in Lion I've just found out. Yeh, great consulting work that would be! Bye bye sole income to live on! Lol. It will be the Mac Pro that it gets installed on, on it's own drive. And the a bootable drive I've made. Well, once I fix the little set up error I did on it with the wrong format. Back to the drawing board on that one,..lol. But will let you know how it goes. Gave me an idea though,...but I'll think I'll wait for a bit with that one :) Enjoy!

Re: Office for Mac
Hi Andrew I've got a left over never opened brand new Office 2008 Home and Student edition (3 serial numbers) that you can have for, say $100 if you wanted. The specs on the bottom of the box list that it requires 10.4.9 or later so would work fine on your machine. This version has Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage (email) with 3 serial numbers and works with the new .x file formats (eg .docx, .xlsx and pptx) Drop me an email off list if you were interested and we can work something out.

Re: Locating Duplicate Photos / Files
Hi again a Maureen, I deliberately did not respond to your query for a program for locating duplicate documents/files on your computer. There are programs out there that say they can do this, but I would be very careful of any program that claims to do what you want. The reason is they go by file name only. So, for example, if you have some important files which have been edited or updated ... you need to know you are only dumping the older one(s). Automated programs won't know which are the most recent. The best and safest way to do it (of course with a clean backup available) is to manually dump the duplicate files you know for sure you no longer need.

Re: Locating Duplicate Photos / Files
Hi Maureen, I use software called Baseline to detect duplicate files. It is developed by Mild Mannered Industries. Ronni's caution is a good one for other software but Baseline actually compares the contents of a file and will find a duplicate even if the files have different names. Baseline also has another function in that when run, it takes a snapshot of all files on you system and then will show files that change relative to this baseline snapshot. It is useful to run this just before a software install or operating system upgrade to see which files were modified. It can be illuminating, for instance, to see the many area of you file system that a Photoshop install infiltrates. A problem I noticed is that the web site that sells the software is under revision until November first. I have no idea what that is about but I believe you can still get the software from CNet for instance. Cheers, Carlo On 2011-07-20, at 20:21, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi again a Maureen, I deliberately did not respond to your query for a program for locating duplicate documents/files on your computer. There are programs out there that say they can do this, but I would be very careful of any program that claims to do what you want. The reason is they go by file name only. So, for example, if you have some important files which have been edited or updated ... you need to know you are only dumping the older one(s). Automated programs won't know which are the most recent. The best and safest way to do it (of course with a clean backup available) is to manually dump the duplicate files you know for sure you no longer need.

Re: US store is back up :)
Hi Daniel, I am up watching the Tour de France on my iPad and keeping abreast of the exciting Apple releases on my MacBook Pro so I find it impossible not to put an oar. :-D One solution would be to get an external Superdrive with the MacMini. They are available on the Apple Store for AUS$89. Alternatively you could get a large capacity external thunderbolt drive and rip your DVD collection. Depending on the resolution you choose you could fit your entire collection on a few terabytes of disk storage. That would mean they would all be searchable in iTunes and you wouldn't even have to get off your couch to select a new movie. Also your movies would be spared degradation of the physical medium. Apart from that when you travel, you could select some favourites from you collection and put them on your iPad or MacBook to watch on the journey. Sorry, but I couldn't let that full toss go through to the keeper. :-) Cheers, Carlo On 2011-07-20, at 21:33, Daniel Kerr wrote: Waahh there comes my thought of a Home Media Centre to watch DVD's etc on.

I'll let you know if I can source any old MacMini's tomorrow Ronni when I check with the wholesalers... :o) Maybe we'll be behind the times with some technology...lol. :o) Yeh Lion download is all over the place.

Oh, I saw that in August you can buy a USB drive from Apple with Lion on for about $69USD (I think I read). So that way you can have it on a media drive if you a) want it b) have poor internet etc,... Read that on the rumour site. And the MacBook (White) has been discontinued. And,...the new 27 LED looks nice. It has one Thunderbolt port, Firewire800, 3 USB2 ports, Gigabit Ethernet. How would your 17 laptop be then,..you can have 2 external 27 monitors connected to it! Lol. And makes it handy for the MacBook Air. Connect that sucker to the monitor, you got all the ports! Lol.

Re: US store is back up :)
I have been reading what you have all been saying about media centres with interest :) I used to have a 12 TB raid, Nice LCD TV, high end receiver and speakers. I digitised about half of my DVD's and had those on the raid. One day I sat down and thought have I watched TV or any of those DVD's again and realised I had not SO. Sold the TV, raid and the receiver, still have the speakers but they might go next :) What I now do is: All my movies are on bare drives backed up twice and indexed, if I want a movie I just put the bare drive into the caddy and copy the movie on to the 27 iMac. For TV I do have a USB eye TV stick but not have used that in months either. So we have no TV but 3 Mac's sometime we watch things together but most often not and I find we are all watching something different! Hope that is of interest?

Re: US store is back up :)
Thanks Roger. Good to know,..but I still like to sit down and watch the odd movie if I can (sometimes). And I know my 2.5 year old like the odd cartoon with his breakfast,...(Go Diego Go seems to be the favourite now). He knows how to turn on the iMac, go to iTunes, and find the episode to watch. He loved it when he had it going on the iPhone, iMac in the kitchen and 27 iMac in the office and he was running backwards and forwards watching them all. I'm sure you could hear him laughing down the street. (Note - we do limit his watching per day and ensure he's outside each day as well. Gotta have a balance! (Don't do like you dad son,..lol.) But yes, that is interesting to note. Though I'm still a stickler for watching a DVD over and over. I know all the parts and know a whole movie back to front, but I'll still watch it again anyway,..cause I love it! (I'm sure I could fill my brain with some more useful info,...lol) And no, that's not open to comment on please ;))) But certainly some food for thought there,...

Re: OSX Lion to hit App Store tomorrow - Bootable Disk
Hi Pedro and all Yes, the Bootable Disc appears to work. I bought it on one Drive, installed it on another drive then went back and got the installer and burnt it to DVD. Then re-installed it to another drive. All worked fine. One thing to note if you're downloading it to one drive when buying it. Before you install it, make sure to follow the steps first. A few people said it deleted the downloaded file once installed. So they had to re-download it. These are the steps here to make the DVD once downloaded:- http://eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/ (I used this link for you Rod!) :o)) Once burnt to DVD you can also image it to a Hard Drive as well. Works well to put it onto a USB Drive, which will then work with machines and MacBookAirs (And now MacMini's) with no optical drive. Hope that info helps. One burnt Lion Disk for multiple machines. :o) Now to correct my multi booting USB drive. (10.5, 10.6 and now 10.7 installs all on one drive! Handy!!) Two more things to finish off then time for some sleep. (I'd go to bed now,...but Pete Smith will still tell me there's 15mins left to go,..) :oP :o) Enjoy all!

Lion - step backwards?
After a preliminary play with Lion, my first impression was that it seems to have taken a step or two backwards in terms of slick Apple interface. I can't put my finger on it, but it just seems to have lost a little of that smooth rounded aqua finesse and polish that I've become used to with Snow Leopard. Somehow Lion seems to be a tad clunkier, maybe just a tiny bit tacky in places. No doubt I'll get used to it. Maybe my expectations were set too high. I'm only talking aesthetics at this stage, I haven't had chance to play with the under-the-hood changes.

Re: US store is back up :)
Yeah, but who wants to buy a nice compact Mac Mini and then hook up another drive? Why didn't Apple put in a BluRay drive? It's nice to think about a future full of digital media on SSD drives with no moving parts and no disks to scratch, but right now we mere mortals still have loads of physical media, whether BluRay or DVD, and we'd like to keep watching them whilst moving toward those digital files. And as my swami would say - While your spending so much time in the future, you're not living for today. Ciao, Stuart P.S.

They are available on the Apple Store for AUS$89. Alternatively you could get a large capacity external thunderbolt drive and rip your DVD collection. Depending on the resolution you choose you could fit your entire collection on a few terabytes of disk storage. That would mean they would all be searchable in iTunes and you wouldn't even have to get off your couch to select a new movie. Also your movies would be spared degradation of the physical medium.

Re: Locating Duplicate Photos / Files
Hi Maureen Carlo, Carlo, I had not heard of Baseline before. I have noticed the app - Decloner. It Requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or newer and a 64-bit CPU. So no good for Maureen as she is still in OS X 10.5.8. If her MacBook Pro is a Core 2 Duo or recent MBP they are 64-bit Architecture … but NOT the first model MBP which are 32-bit. There is a review here: http://smokingapples.com/software/reviews/clearing-duplicates-with-decloner/ Clearing Duplicates with Decloner Across the many apps being released on the Mac platform, Decloner is one that caught my attention. Created by indie developer Gleb Dolgich, Decloner weeds through any specified folders or your entire hard drive, finding bits of information that match each other. “Decloner uses SHA-1 to determine if files are identical. File names don’t matter — only the content is compared.” says the app description. The app also makes sure duplicates are worth checking out, hence speeding up the process.” http://www.pixelespressoapps.com/decloner/ Cheers, Ronni On 20/07/2011, at 9:28 PM, cm wrote: Hi Maureen, I use software called Baseline to detect duplicate files. It is developed by Mild Mannered Industries. Ronni's caution is a good one for other software but Baseline actually compares the contents of a file and will find a duplicate even if the files have different names. Baseline also has another function in that when run, it takes a snapshot of all files on you system and then will show files that change relative to this baseline snapshot. It is useful to run this just before a software install or operating system upgrade to see which files were modified. It can be illuminating, for instance, to see the many area of you file system that a Photoshop install infiltrates. A problem I noticed is that the web site that sells the software is under revision until November first. I have no idea what that is about but I believe you can still get the software from CNet for instance.

There are programs out there that say they can do this, but I would be very careful of any program that claims to do what you want. The reason is they go by file name only. So, for example, if you have some important files which have been edited or updated ... you need to know you are only dumping the older one(s). Automated programs won't know which are the most recent. The best and safest way to do it (of course with a clean backup available) is to manually dump the duplicate files you know for sure you no longer need.

Re: Locating Duplicate Photos / Files
Hi Ronni and Maureen, Decloner looks good. It may be better for this task than Baseline because it is purpose built for it and it supports QuickLook. It is available on the Mac App Store and I may pick up a copy myself. One caveat Maureen, the system requirements of the Mac App Store version say Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later, 64-bit processor. Cheers, Carlo On 2011-07-21, at 10:36, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Maureen Carlo, Carlo, I had not heard of Baseline before. I have noticed the app - Decloner. It Requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or newer and a 64-bit CPU. So no good for Maureen as she is still in OS X 10.5.8. If her MacBook Pro is a Core 2 Duo or recent MBP they are 64-bit Architecture … but NOT the first model MBP which are 32-bit. There is a review here: http://smokingapples.com/software/reviews/clearing-duplicates-with-decloner/ Clearing Duplicates with Decloner Across the many apps being released on the Mac platform, Decloner is one that caught my attention. Created by indie developer Gleb Dolgich, Decloner weeds through any specified folders or your entire hard drive, finding bits of information that match each other. “Decloner uses SHA-1 to determine if files are identical. File names don’t matter — only the content is compared.” says the app description. The app also makes sure duplicates are worth checking out, hence speeding up the process.” http://www.pixelespressoapps.com/decloner/ Cheers, Ronni On 20/07/2011, at 9:28 PM, cm wrote: Hi Maureen, I use software called Baseline to detect duplicate files. It is developed by Mild Mannered Industries. Ronni's caution is a good one for other software but Baseline actually compares the contents of a file and will find a duplicate even if the files have different names. Baseline also has another function in that when run, it takes a snapshot of all files on you system and then will show files that change relative to this baseline snapshot. It is useful to run this just before a software install or operating system upgrade to see which files were modified. It can be illuminating, for instance, to see the many area of you file system that a Photoshop install infiltrates. A problem I noticed is that the web site that sells the software is under revision until November first. I have no idea what that is about but I believe you can still get the software from CNet for instance.

There are programs out there that say they can do this, but I would be very careful of any program that claims to do what you want. The reason is they go by file name only. So, for example, if you have some important files which have been edited or updated ... you need to know you are only dumping the older one(s). Automated programs won't know which are the most recent. The best and safest way to do it (of course with a clean backup available) is to manually dump the duplicate files you know for sure you no longer need.

Re: Office for Mac
Hi Peter and Andrew, I have used OpenOffice for years to get by in situations that normally require Microsoft Office, but I have recently switched to LibreOffice. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ This is not in anyway an ideological choice. Oracle obtained the rights to OpenOffice when it bought Sun Microsystems and Oracle has decided it will no longer be supporting OpenOffice, so many of the key developers on the project recently forked the open source code and moved to a project called LibreOffice. My reading of the situation is that from now on LibreOffice will be of better quality and better supported than OpenOffice.

Re: 10.4 and 9.2.2
Hi Merv 10.4 might not upgrade your 10.2 without going through 10.3 first. I'm not sure. You could erase and install 10.4. This will mean, unless first copied elsewhere, any data will be erased too. Data such as documents, files, folders, non-Apple applications and their preferences. The Migration Assistant can be useful for this but I am unaware if it can do 10.2 - 10.4 migrations. Someone else may be able to shed light here.

Re: Office for Mac
Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like we might go for Office 2008 after checking compatibilty with version at work. I think this will do what is required (Word, PowerPoint etc).

Re: 10.4 and 9.2.2
Hi Paul One of my aims is to keep 9.2.2 but also upgrade the OS10. I backup the iMac with among other things a complete copy of the disk that is bootable. So, I guess that after a cleanup, I have some music and some iMovie stuff that can be moved/deleted, I could make a bootable copy and then take punt and try and install 10.4 Thank you for your thoughts on the issue.
