WAMUG AGM: next Tuesday 3 April 2018

[WAMUG Annoucement]

G’day all WAMUGGERS.

Time is passing quickly and if you have been as busy as I have been, it's been 
going past at an alarming rate: which is why this email is a tad late in the 
scheme of things and I apologise for that.

Anyway, next Tuesday, 3 April 2018 is the Annual General meeting of WAMUG.

Nominations for committee members.

As I said in the last monthly meeting announcement, we are asking for people to 
consider coming onto the committee to provide some fresh blood and ideas. It is 
not arduous and, although there is a committee meeting every month, it’s OK if 
you miss some. In fact, if you can only make every second meeting that would be 
OK.

WAMUG really needs your help so please consider giving a little bit of your 
time every month or other month. The committee meetings are held on the third 
Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm in South Perth. They don’t take long.

All the seats on the committee are up for grabs. They are: President, Vice 
President, Secretary and Treasurer (the named positions) and general committee 
members.

If you would like to nominate, please send your name to me, Pete Smith, c/ 
members...@wamug.org.au  . Tell me which 
position you would like to nominate for. The four named positions are voted in 
individually whilst, unless there are an excessive number of nominations, the 
general committee members are voted in en masse.

It is important that the President and Treasurer positions are filled.

Voting.

Voting can be done in a couple of ways. Firstly, by attendance at the AGM. 
Secondly, by postal votes. The same as what occurred last year will happen. 
Financial members will receive an email with a link to click which will take 
them to where they can cast their votes. This email will be sent out on Sunday 
night, 1 April 2018.

Financial Members.

Only current financial members are eligible to vote. Memberships are due at the 
beginning of each year so, hopefully, you have all renewed your memberships. If 
you haven’t, you have a limited time to do so. Any non-financial members will 
have their ability to post to the list removed this Sunday also.

If you can’t post to the list, you can’t vote either.

Please do consider helping out and offer a bit of your time as a committee 
member to keep WAMUG going on strong.

Regards,

Pete Smith

Re: running out of space

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Walter,

I prefer to have my Photos & iPhoto libraries & iTunes library on my Macs and 
not running them from an External Drive.
But some people do so successfully.

The absolute VERY minimum free space some say is 15%... I would NEVER recommend 
any of my clients, friends or WAMUG people run their Macs at 15% available 
space.
I prefer to have at the very least 25% available space on my Macs.
Macs running latest Operating systems need a lot of free space to run well and 
fast.
‘Lean & Mean’ is the way to have a Mac operating at its maximum ;-)

So Walter your Mac’s HD is very close to the 15% (150GB).
The unneeded language localization files will give you probably 1-2GB extra.
I would then run WhatSize app to give you details of where the used is being 
used.
It’s a good starting point.

Uninstall old applications you haven’t used & never will again, archive mail 
attachments & years old mail. Make sure the Trash is empty, the Download Folder 
is empty.
Only the HD and ‘One’ folder on the Desktop. ‘That One Folder’ on the Desktop 
can have other folders inside it if required.
There are lots of items that need regularly cleaned up & ‘culled’.

Cheers,
Ronni

Fwd: running out of space

[FW]

Hi Ronni,
I have a question on the same subject.
My HD on the 2009 iMac is 1TB and available now is 157GB.
Enough ? Or should I look at moving iTunes files or iPhoto files to an ext/HD ?

I am also now looking at the language file situation.

Thanks
Walter

Mail passwords

[Severin Crisp]

I want to change the Apple Mail passwords for two users on 5 devices.  
What is the best procedure for this?   Internet information is sketchy.  
I assume there is no global procedure and the devices will all have to be dealt 
with separately.

Re: running out of space

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Rosemary,
15.2GB is nowhere near enough available space. Are you running High Sierra?
You need to free up space ASAP, or you will be having problems.

Do you have WhatSize.app version 6.6.3 (which is compatible with High Sierra)?
If not you can download it from this link: https://whatsizemac.com/
WhatSize will show you what is taking up the space on your MBP Hard Drive.

Also did you remove unneeded language localization files on your MBP.
I always remove the unneeded language localization files from my Macs.
I only keep All the English - English (Australia), English (United Kingdom), 
English (United States).
If you only ever use English, there is no need to have all the other language 
files taking up valuable GBs of space.
I use Monolingual 1.8.0 to remove the thousand of unneeded language 
localization files.
You can check it out at this link: https://ingmarstein.github.io/Monolingual/

Run WhatSize 6.6.3 to show you details of the space use.

Cheers,
Ronni
