Re: Proposed name change to Apple Users WA
to rely upon. Rounding out the Apple combined ecosystem are services that include iCloud, iTunes, iTunes U, iTunes Match, the App Store, and the Mac App Store. It is now possible to own and iPhone and an iPad, and with the use iCloud have an extremely versatile and functional setup. Younger people in particular are often in a position where they do not even know what a Mac is. Also Windows users are often wooed into the Apple fold by the iPhone and iPad, but may initially not know the benefits of converting to an iMac or a MacBook. We would like to help these sections of the community as well as those who make use of the full range of Apple products. Even though we long standing members are quite comfortable with, and likely even quite attached to the WAMUG name, a name that better reflects our activities and sounds more accessible will help us promote the use of the Apple product range and provide a obvious support group for the growing collection of new Apple users. So while aficionados principally do our work on a Mac, increasingly certain specialised functions are better served by using newer Apple products and services. The Committee proposes that we change the name to Apple Users WA to better reflect this. This name change will require the passing of a motion at a Special Meeting of WAMUG. We propose that the meeting of Tuesday 2 October be such a Special Meeting. An email with details will follow shortly.

Re: Proposed name change to Apple Users WA
I've ummmered and aed about replying to this, and whether to or not,…but well, obviously trom my post I am about to….. First off, this is not meant to in any way to cause offence, or be seen to be having a go, especially to you Pete and I apologise up front if it seems that way. I also apologise if it gets taken the wrong way as well,…as it's meant in the sincerest way. Though I understand that wanting to grab the domains before someone else did, this is a lot more difficult for .org.au's to do. Sure, if this was a .com then I'd tend to agree. A .com.au and .org.au hold a bit more weight to them when aiming to be purchased. A .com.au can only be purchased with an ABN and has to have some close resemblance to the Business Name or organisation. A.org.au can only be purchased by a non-profit of charity organisation. And normally those parties have to have a Certificate of Incorporation before they can purchase it. (And perhaps a constitution as well, I'm not 100% sure on that one). But it's certainly a lot harder for someone to sit on them for the sake of sitting on them,….if that makes sense. i fully understand about aiming to get them before someone else did and as long as a regulated business is used to check domain names the risk of this happening is a lot less (I've never been overtaken on checking a name for clients I've set them up for and looked up, but I always use a well known and trusted domain checker. And I can understand about worry about the use of a name in a public forum where it may get taken, but realistically I feel this is quite low for .org.au. The work involved to try and get it versus the reward from it would be almost negligible. (if possible as well). The AuDA is very strict on these sort of things, and even if someone did without the right paper trail I have a feeling it would be overwritten if the wrong party did it for that sole practice. A .com is a completely different story of course,…lol. You see those go for silly sums sometimes! lol. I know the cost is minimal, and I guess it's not like we had 4 or 5 to choose from,…lol :)) (or had been purchased,…lol). Again, Pete this is not to meant to seem like an attack on you or anything like that,.. I just really wanted to partially clarify that information for interests sake. (if people were looking at domains later, it's not too scary). ;o)) I, like others have mentioned, are a bit concerned at the AUWA acronym, as I feel it could be associated to do with UWA. That's why my first thought is when I see it, as others have mentioned to me as well. So we could get ourselves into some hot water with UWA as well. Hey, I could be wrong,..but that's my first thought with it as well. The same, as Ronni mentioned, with using Apple in the name. More so now that Apple are really pushing into everything themselves with the Apple branded stores, and everything associated with it. We certainly wouldn't want to get in trouble with them, or assumed that we're something to do with Apple direct. That's a whole lot of hot water to get into,…lol. So, I could see, like Vlad mentioned (which Shane bought up), if it was to be changed (at all) to be WA Apple Users Group. (WAAU or WAAUG - however you'd' pronounce them) it's less in your face Apple. Either way, whichever is used, WAMUG, AUWA, WAAU, WAAUG etc etc et), you'll always need to explain it. I think that goes without saying. Even if advertising WA Macintosh User Group, Apple Users WA, WA Apple Users, WA Apple Users Group,..etc etc it can be seen as long,..or shorted to the acronym, which will still need to be explained. So either way, I don't think that's an issue (not a major one anyway I feel. Besides, any type of explanation for it gets the person involved in the discussion. Hook, line and sinker? (lol, and I don't even fish!),..hehe). There were a couple of other points I had, but I think I've rambled enough…… I'd just like to finish again by saying, I apologise if anything is taken the wrong way. It's not meant to be, and hopefully those who know me understand I'm trying to portray all this. The last thing I would ever want to do is start a flame war, degrade or put down any person (or business, or group,…), I just like to add my 2cents. And as we, know (or can assume), something like this is going to be a semi emotional issue with such a history of information, wealth of knowledge and people and group structure,..and name :) (Just seeing Mac's post come in, reminds me of John Currie with WAMUG and Panarama. I think it was Matt Healey that was over in the US one day and looking at a Panarama stall at a WWDC or something and got talking to one of the Panarama reps and they said, oh you'll know John Currie from WAMUG then,….lol.) Thanks for listening! :) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone 5 (ok, not really, I changed that from 4s - I'm just getting ready) :o) --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960

Re: Apple event roundup
From my perspective, considering all the new features of the iPhone 5 like 4G LTE speeds, bigger screen (I'm looking forward to having just that crucial bit of extra width for reading long lines of small text in emails and web pages), LED flash, 8 megapixel photos, Siri, AirPlay screen mirroring, 64GB of storage, superRetina screen, HD video recording, wifi tethering, 802.11N 5GHz high speed wifi, FaceTime HD front facing camera, video stabilization, HDR photography, Panorama photos, etc, I have no problems justifying a new phone or the $29 for the 30 pin to Lightning adapter. In my case though I am coming from an iPhone 3GS and more recently an Android Huawei X1 smartphone so am in a different position than someone who has a 4 or 4S who already has a few of these features. -Mart On 13/09/2012, at 4:43 PM, Lynn Koh lynn...@westnet.com.au wrote: Hi Martin, still have to fork out $$...

Domain/website hosting
Hi Muggers I recall someone recently (in the last few weeks I think) sent a post regarding hosting and suggested Web in a Box. I cant find the email anywhere so am wondering if you can help? I had to ask Westnet (where it presently resides) if my domain name was still current and they said yes as it was on 'Auto Update' for payment every 2 years prior to expiry at $88. I think web in a box was quite a bit less for memory, and the person who posted I think gave them a good rap? I am beginning the process of having a web site for my photography and wouldnt know where to start as there seems so many possibilities. I have seen many very good photography sites online that have given me ideas but I need some direction on this if anyone can help? Any good links or other info I can check out locally? Best regards to all Chris Christopher L.K.

Airport card
I have an eMac needing an airport card for a welfare recipient. It is the smaller card. Anyone got one for me? Willing to pay reasonable amount.

Safari and PDFs
In Safari, when I right click on a graphic linked to a PDF I do not get the PDF. A normal click displays the PDF in Safari and I can then save it from the pop up controls at the bottom. With links to files other than PDFs I get the usual Download Linked File option. Is there a way around this so that PDFs behave like other files?
