Re: mail clipping email

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Gary,

With attachments it is always best practice to:

1.Always include file extensions (.doc, .pdf etc)

2.Always use ‘Windows-friendly’ format (which omits resource forks, if they 
exist) usually makes them friendlier for Macs too.
To tell Mail to use Windows-friendly encoding for all new messages, choose Edit 
> Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (the default setting).

3. Always use the ‘Attach’ button and set Apple Mail to place attachments at 
the bottom of the message
 For all messages, with no message window open: Choose Edit > Attachments > 
Always Insert Attachments at End of Message.

Use Rich Text for Graphics.

Cheers,
Ronni

Peter
If you want to get 2D drawings, then  I suppose a 2D app is what you are after
Dassault have produced a free 2d package called Draft sight

http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/overview/



SketchUp has been mentioned , and it  is free, and like you, I still 
cant quite get me head around it, but unless you get Layout, you 
can't get any flat 2D drawings out of it

I found the 3D basecamp presentations really helpful to understand sketchup.


Domus.cad is a simple to used software, model in 3D and create 
drawings - its what I used first when I went 3D.
They offer a free limited time, fully functional
http://www.interstudio.net/DomusCadE.html


I now use BoA - a sophisticated 3D design and drawings software

There is also

mail clipping email

[gary dorn]

howdy all

lately and ( possibly previously) if I attached a pdf to an email - 
which I do regularly either as signed document, interesting paper or 
a drawing, if the pdf is inserted in the heart of the email, the 
remaining text gets clipped when the recipient goes to view it.

If the pdf is attached at the end of the email, seems to be okay ( I think?)

Is this a feature, a setting or something else

For instance , I sent an email to shire of Bridgetown on Monday, with 
a letter and 5 reference documents ( 998k all up-  on straw bale 
building) all received okay

I sent out 5 emails today with 1 pdf (52k)  with a web link to a 
downloadable 11 MB drawing file, and only 4 lines were received.

weird.

any advice appreciated

Further to the HP printer problem I previously outlined is there a person of

If so can they please let me know so I can pass on their details to the people

Re: Printers.......

[Brett Curtis]

I have a Samsung 6210FX.  The toner cartridges seem to have less than the 
normal one would expect from a Laser.
About a year ago, I started having problems with printing anything with 
graphics on it.  If I want to print 10 copies, it will print one then shut 
down, then start up again and print the next and so on.
I rang their service section and they wanted to update the firmware (last time, 
they did from their end)  This time they couldn't do it that way and sent me a 
USB thumbdrive 
which cannot be loaded from a Mac.  The tech was stumped.  I cannot even do it 
through VMware Fusion either.  Hence I will probably follow Daniels advice 
about buying a Brother.

Card printing software

[Stuart Breden]

With the silly season rapidly approaching business are looking at their 
Christmas cards.

We are interested in producing our own Christmas cards.

I have been exposed to various programmes in the past including Print Shop but 
they are not user friendly.

What user friendly software is available?  Or can this be done more easily in 
word and/or Pages?

New iCal events notification

[Stuart Breden]

I have recently changed all my clients iMacs on my network to network clients 
rather than stand alone.

As well as this we have created a network calendar.

Usually when iCal events are posted the invitees are notified and are able to 
accept etc.  With the network calendar this does not happen.  

All my staff need to be advised of these network events and act accordingly.

How can all the user on of the network be advised the new network events have 
been posted?

Hi Alex

Always an interesting argument the Laser versus Inkjet. Definitely the running 
costs of a laser will generally be cheaper then that of an inkjet over the same 
period of time.
I've supplied both (laser and inkjet) for lots of my clients and use both here. 
My personal preference when it comes to printers is Epson and Brother.
I use an Epson laser for pretty much all my main printing and it runs like a 
dream. And I've barely had to replace toners at all (and no, they generally 
don't clog the same as inkjets do). Unfortunately Epson don't do laser's 
anymore. If and when I have to replace it, I would go for a Brother. As 
mentioned I've supplied a lot of units to my clients and they just keeping on 
going. They're great units.
But for "photo printing" we also have at home a 6 colour inkjet multifunction. 
We print something out of that about once a week at least, so the cartridges 
"keep moving". Again, it just works. And never had a problems with it.
So it generally comes down to what sort of things you may be printing. If it's 
general day to day stuff, then Lasers are great. You pay a bit more upfront but 
your running costs are lower. (though this may change,..will get to this in a 
second,...).

You also want to consider how it's going to be connected. A lot of units now 
are USB and Ethernet, and some also Wi-FI as well. If it's Ethernet then you 
can plug it in to your modem/router and every one can see it without it having 
to run off just one machine. If it's got Wi-Fi then it only needs a power point 
and can sit anywhere in the house. And everyone can have access to it. (great 
for some of the Wireless all in one Multifunction units that allow you to print 
and scan to any machine, regardless where it's located in the house.

OK,..now as mentioned. Epson have (or about to) bring out a new range of 
printer, which they've been working on for a while. It's the "standard" inkjet 
printer, but they're saying the running costs for it now are the same or better 
(up to 50% better) then that of a Laser. And they're an all in one. So they can 
be so interesting choices as well.
Generally if you ever think you want to do photo printing then some of the 
inkjets will get better quality. But if it;s "just colour" then a laser is 
still great. (And for most things Colour Laser Printing is still very good 
quality.

The ranges you can view here:-
Brother -  
(Most all in ones will generally be fairly large units.)
I just sold a client an MFC-9320CW and it works really well. (I did it a bit 
cheaper then it's RRP of $929, so they were happy there toolol)

Epson range - 
The new models I mentioned are the Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4540 and WorkForce 
Pro WP-4530.


I've been selling both Epson and Brother for about the last 10 years,..and to 
be honest I find them very reliable, easy to use and the software great. The 
Epson laser I've got sits in the Office and goes to a lower power mode so is 
very quiet and just wakes as I need it. I think in the 6+ years I've had i've 
had to replace maybe two toners (?) (Black and Blue as I use a lot of blue on 
my invoices). 

That would be my recommendation anyway :) Printers can be one of those things, 
that each has a particular one they like :)

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Printers.......

[Alex]

Hi Fellow Wamugians

I have allowed my current Canon MX700 series inkjet printer to die,  
probably through my own neglect because I hate the way the ink  
cartridges keep running for a very long time even though they prompt  
you to replace.  Have disliked the scanning function on it anyway as  
it is ss clunky (strange in my mind as I thought Canon were good  
at scanner technology?!)

My question is should I go to Laser MFC over Inkjet MFC.  Not a huge  
user, although random jobs can be big if someone is studying.  Won't  
be connecting the fax function except the occaisional sending (if the  
scanning function is good maybe they will give up on the faxing!).   
Household has a couple Win laptops as well as the usual expanding Mac  
family.

Do the Laser toners also clog up if occaisionally not used for a  
period of time?  Was interested in the Samsung Laser MFC but Ronni  
gave it a bad rap about a year ago so have gone off it.

Anyone have any opinions on the environmental effects from the Laser  
printers (ie in the room)?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance & opinions,

Cheers,  Alex

 Who gets time to watch tv

Re: slightly different topic

[Daniel Kerr]

Just to add to Carlo's post.
The Committee is always open to suggestions of things to "demo" at the 
meetings. Some months we have enough trouble trying to come up with things to 
put on, so if there are ideas and can be done practically, then yes we welcome 
suggestions. Other times we haven't got any feedback, so we try and think of 
things that me of interested.
I actually thought some of the content from last meeting would have been of 
interest to more people, particularly how to make a bootable back up drive for 
"safety", using Automater to make "life easier" and Evernote for keeping notes 
which is a great little program. However, perhaps these weren't things people 
were interested in.

I've previously done all the last eyeTV demo's, I think from memory about 4 in 
total. So if there was interest in that, and I'll be able to make the next 
meeting and/or people want me to do the demo then I may be able to do. Though, 
if someone else is interested in demoing, by all means we welcome the interest.
(Sometimes the committee think we're sure no one wants to see us demoing things 
again!). We welcome to run the meeting and sit down to listen for a change :))

I've a couple of ideas that may help with some of this, which I'll be 
discussing at the next WAMUG committee as well, so that may help some ideas for 
what people want as well, or able to suggest it.

Just my little 3cents to add to Carlo's :)

Kind regards
Daniel

Apple releases AirPort Utility for iOS | 9to5Mac | Apple Intelligence

Re: slightly different topic

Hi John,

WAMUG is run by the members for the member so you should not feel concerned 
about bringing forward any suggestions or criticisms about the content of 
meetings (with suggestions sometimes being more helpful than criticisms :-). 
There does seem to be a lot of interest in Eye TV, and indeed I personally 
would not mind seeing a demo of this much discussed device. Perhaps an 
aficionado from the membership, or you yourself, would like to step up and demo 
the device at the next meeting.

As to the content of the previous meeting, there were no iPhone or iPad related 
topics on the agenda as you will see from the meeting page:
http://www.wamug.org.au/meetings/

So feel free to check-out the meeting page each month before deciding if you 
want to attend.

I would add that I personally do not think that iPhones and iPads are fads, and 
sales numbers would suggest that many millions of others agree, but then it 
takes all types of users to make up a vibrant Apple community.

Cheers,
Carlo

 Last time when editing there was a 'fine setting' that was frame by frame

 Anyway off to improve my poor hills tv reception, with a couple more

 Thank you everyone for your input.

[Brian Risbey]

Thanks Ruben, 

MPEG Streamclip and the codec are what I currently use. With FTP as the file 
transfer protocol as the Topfield is networkable for faster downloads.

 As a very new user of EyeTV  I don't think this is true.  Certainly a very 
 effective editor but it seems to only select within 0.5 second which is 
 say 12 frames.  Probably not a significant issue in most cases!
 
 Cheers, Alan

 Brian,
 
 just out of interest, if you have eyeTV, why do you then use a Topfield to 
 record TV? To me that's a bit like using Windows to create files to merely 
 view on a Mac.
 
 You don't mention what type of mpg file the Topfield stores, but I assume 
 it's mpeg-2, which is the native transport stream Australia uses for 
 DVB/T. 
 
 The files that eyeTV creates when it records a broadcast are not really 
 files; they are packages containing about 6 files. If you open such an 
 eyeTV package, you will find the actual recording is a file named 
 something like '1226787d.mpg', and it's an mpeg-2 file.
 
 If you use eyeTV to open and play such a bare file it will, but it won't 
 offer to edit it.
 
 I therefore suggest the following solutions:
 
 1 Use eyeTV to both record and edit your videos and put the Topfield in 
 the Quokka.
 
 2 Use the video editor in an app like Toast or iMovie
 
 3 Play the video out of the Topfield and into the analogue port of an 
 eyeTV hybrid. Then edit it. As this will take 'real time' I wish you luck 
 with a 3 hour movie from commercial TV.
 
 Our one-and-only TV is a MacMini with an eyeTV stick, so I do everything 
 with eyeTV. Others therefore may have brighter ideas.

Ronnie, yes I have been to that page.  What is being printed is A1 drawings.  
Another thing I've noticed is that on the Mac defining the page is agricultural 
when compared to the PC - not what i expected.  Its almost as if HP only did 
half the job.

Accessing POP server

[Severin Crisp]

I am noticing persistent delays in accessing the POP server for email.  This is 
on two separate computers (iMac and MacBook) both running the latest version of 
Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8).   The iMac connects to the router/ADSL by ethernet 
while the MacBook connects to the same router using Airport Extreme wireless 
and moves to various locations around the home.   Router is a D-Link DSL-504, 
some years of age but apparently healthy.  The delay is self resolving in that 
mail is eventually sent/received without obvious intervention.   Maybe a router 
firmware update needed?  
I suspect that the problem is at my end though as far as I can see everything 
is "normal" and as it should be.   
I have taken this up as well with Westnet.
Any suggestions or comments would be welcome!

Hi Mike,

Grrr HP are hopeless at updating their Mac drivers … I never recommend HP

Have you selected the printer model here ands check if you have the latest 
drivers for OS X 10.5?



Did you check you had A4 Paper Size?
