Re: Full Mail Box
Hi Mike, What do you mean with mail box full. Do you mean that your email provider has allocated you a certain amount of space and that you have exhausted your allocation. If this is the case you can: 1.) Clean up your mail box by deleting old / emails 2.) Clean out your Junk-mail folder if this is hosted on the mail server (check your account settings) 3.) Clean out your sent items if they are hosted on the mail server (check your account settings)\ 4.) Create a local archive folder and transfer your message to the archive folder Hope this helps Alex On 22/06/2012, at 10:45 , Mike Armson wrote: G'Day I feel embarrassed to ask this question, but how does one empty the mailbox using MicroSoft Outlook 2011 v14.2.2?

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!
illegally, it will be unmodified if it is signed by the original developer. As is now the case, the restrictions on becoming an Apple registered developer are minimal. They require confirmation of your identity and address, and the submission of business name and registration details if you are operating as a business. A developer being registered does not guarantee that they will produce software that is virus free, but it does mean that if they transgress their membership can be revoked and software will no longer run on any Mac that has Gatekeeper enabled. One of the main advantages of the iPhone and iPad over Android devices is that currently all software on the iPhone and iPad have been approved by Apple. It is thus an lot more difficult to sell malicious software. Google is scrambling to implement their own curated stores to reduce the flood of malware currently being circulated on Android phones.

Re: Dad - the internet is down
Hi Peter, The next time this happens just unplug your ethernet cable from your Mac and put it back. This has sometimes worked for me. If you on wireless, just disable the WIFI adaptor and re-enable. While this is not a solution is may point the way. I also had a similar problem with my DAP 1522 which I posted about here : http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1795995 What seem to have happened was that traffic was being routed within the network overloading the poor network devices. You might be able to get a dump of the network packets using tcpdump. Run this command in Terminal : sudo tcpdump -nS ~/tcpdump.txt (Press CTRL+C after a couple of seconds [30+]) This creates a lot file on your home folder which shows all the traffic transmitted on your network. Other things you can try is to identify which part of the network is slow / inaccessible ? Maybe it is just DNS resolution not working To test this try the following commands in Terminal: traceroute 203.10.1.244 (Shows the network hops from your network to and external IP address. This can be useful to see where the traffic gets stuck on the way out) dig -x 203.10.1.244 (Tests the DNS configuration) There are other commands which might be useful in diagnosing this issue but it is a good start.

Re: Move Over Lion,..make way for Mountain Lion!
Hi Michael, This is complete non-sense. Since the data is stored in the cloud it is stored most likely somewhere overseas. As such it falls into the jurisdiction of somebody else. Since we don't even know where the data is stored the end-user has little idea of who else has access to the data. There are data centre administrators which may have access to the data for example. I am not even going to touch somebody submitting a subpoena for the data, so no point hiding your uncle's vinies pizza joint in the cloud either. Also who is to say that the privacy policy will never change. They might decide it would be nice to integrate with Facebook for example, who is to say. Then there is data retention. So even though you might thing that just because you use your personal ID, does not make it personal. If you want to sync contacts take a look at www.addressbookserver.com. It lets you select which groups and calendars you want to sync, so you don't have to expose your mistress's email to your wife ;-).

I am looking forward with anticipation to some of the improvements in Mountain Lion. Some appear to have been left out of Lion merely because the developers ran out of time before the release date. Take Air Play Mirroring. A friend of mine has only an iPhone and a MacBook Air. I demoed my Apple TV for him showing Air Play Mirroring with an iPad -- but unfortunately I could not at the time recommend that he buy an Apple TV because mirroring was not then available on OS X. It soon will be. Also it will be possible to send text messages (SMS style) from your computer to any iPhone user, or receive text messages from iPhone users on your computer. That is a feature that I have actively sought, looking at third party software for the purpose. More to have a record of the text messages than for any other reason. Phone companies must be cursing the new unified Messaging app in Mountain Lion. Lion also introduced iCloud which is a revelation.

Re: help with photos
Hi Hugh, Do a search on your computer for any iPhoto Library folders. What most likely happened was that when you used the third user account a new library was created. That is why you can't find the photos from the shared library. I am not sure what the best tools for this would be. I am guessing Spotlight will only search the currently logged on users files and would not find any files belonging to other users so it might not be the best. If you have root enabled you could use the locate command, if you comfortable with Terminal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 10.6.6 available Mac App store now open
While I don't condone stealing especially from software developers and musicians, I do feel it is not reasonable for Apple to set different prices. Your comments regarding record companies is only partially right, as this thread started with Aperture, which is an Apple product. I fail to see why they should charge Aussies more then our cousins from the other side of the pacific. I used to life in the UK and had my account there. Since moving down under I changed my account, but wish I hadn't. Just an observation, but generally things seem more expensive here in Oz. Guess you can't have it all. Sunshine, beach, cheap prices :-) Alex On 7 Jan 2011, at 13:37, Ronda Brown wrote: The comments: /Quote: Stealing is stealing no matter how easy it is to do or however you rationalise it. and: the biggest issue is that Apple when they do catch onto you, your credit is gone /End Quote Says it all. It might 'seem' unfair to people that don't understand (or research) all the factors which cause the price difference. The exchange rate is only one factor in the pricing equation. Also, Apple doesn't set the prices, the record companies do, the Record Companies and Rights Holders in Australia charge iTunes. If you want to blame someone blame EMI Australia who sets the prices, not Apple. While your at it, ask the Australian book publishers why electronic books are so much more expensive in Australia than they are overseas and why all titles available on overseas stores aren't available here. I'm not about to start a 'Flaming War' as this issue has been discussed before on WAMUG. I apologise if my little Rant upsets anyone.

Re: Slow websites (Fixed)
Hi all, Thanks for all your responses. I figured out what the problem was. A while back my router reported a security issue: Dec 21 17:43:26 gateway user.info kernel: HackAttack: [Trojan Scan] TCP packet from [ppp_0_8_35_1] 209.62.182.33:80 to MYIPADDRESS:1243 Being a little bit too paranoid I added it to my firewall to block any traffic from that IP address. As it turns out this IP address belongs to doubleclick.net which is referenced by both websites in such a way that when the site cannot be accessed the entire page is not loaded (or loaded very very slowly). To fix this issue I added a separate rule to allow traffic to the external IP address on port 80 as this is the port specified on the websites. This will allow any requests coming from my network to the ip address trough on port 80. This fixed access to the websites. However I still didn't want to see all this adverts and be subject to all kinds of analysis by doubleclick.net. To block all adds I added the URL to my URL black list which denied all requests to a specific URL. Now the page loads fine as it is presented with a access denied page when trying to load any adverts from doubleclick.net. This is immediate, so I don't have to wait for the request for the ads to timeout and I still don't see any ads. All it good again. Thanks for your help.

But since upgrading to a 7800N I am no longer able to receive files or share my screen. I am still able to send file and share other people's screen though.

Re: Duplicate events in iCal
Hi Rod, I would say this is a rather common problem. I have had reports from users of Address Book Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com) which I develop about the same issue. I have added function to my own application to counteract this. There are also some third party tools available which can help with this problem. Spanning Tools Calendar Cleaner (http://spanningtools.com/mac/) The underlying cause is Sync Services which can get confused and generate duplicates. However once you manage to resolve the duplicates it does eventually work properly.

Of course I wanted to hold it in my hands to tell if it would suit me, one of the main reasons being of course to read in bed, on the bus, on my chair in the evenings - obviously the weight in my hand was going to be important. However none of the shops that did carry any e-readers actually had anything set up on them that I could read, nor to play with. Frustrating. Fortunately I did know someone who had ordered one when they first became available in Australia, and he kindly brought his (smaller) one up for me to experiment with. Once I had sat down with it for 5 minutes I was positive that I wanted one, and that it definitely would suit me. If you can, arrange to hold one of each and see what you think. I personally do not find the bigger one any problem to hold nor to turn the pages. At the same time I think the smaller one would probably have also been suitable. It was my husband who kindly thought that maybe it would be better to go for the bigger size. We recently went overseas for a holiday and I happily read on the plane and in our room, by the pool, and also on the beach - my Kindle suited these needs very well. The size would probably come back to personal preference. The chap who brought his up to show me is completely satisfied with the smaller size.

HI Wendy, If you have more than 16GB of photos synced onto your iPad it goes completely crazy. I reported in to Apple and they are aware of this issue. (See bug 7669663 in Apple Bug Reporter).

Re: Local host name in iPhone?
Hi all, I do the following on my network. First I restrict all WIFI access by MAC address. This prevents un-authorised devices from joining even if they managed to obtain my WAP key.

Re: iPhone sending email on telstra
Hi Ronda, The problem is that blocking port 25 does nothing to reduce spam, and realistically what spammer uses their mobile? The problem with forcing users to set an alternate SMTP server is that it break SPF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework) which does a much better job at reducing spam. With SPF each domain specified a server which is the designated mail server for that domain. On the receiving end when a message is received, the receiving server can then check via the public DNS record whether the message originated from the authorised server. This ensures that the email came from it's proper origin. Most domain owners would take their own precaution to prevent anyone form using their mail server to distribute spam, or they will find themselves being blacklisted very quickly. What telstra and bigpond allow all their clients to send emails with the sender having the option to choose just about any sender address. This is typically considered very poor form, as it would allow me for example to send a message which to most users would look like it came from somebody else. The technical term for this is an open relay and is a real problem. I guess this has been a problem for some time and will be not addressed any time soon. Are there any 3G service providers which do not do this ?

Even though port 25 blocking will probably become an industry standard, however, the filter can create problems for e-mail servers and block legitimate e-mail as well as spam. Port 25 blocking allows ISPs to block spam sent out through their networks, but it tends to punish the innocent that have a need to send through e-mail servers other than those belonging to their ISP. The ISPs that block port 25 require their SMTP server to be used instead of the remote SMTP server or a SMTP server running on your computer.

For most of us this is not really an issue, but on the other hand how would you feel if somebody kept tabs on who you send when and maybe even what. Ronnie, how did you configure you mobile to send via Mobile Me. Via the alternate port ? I completely agree with you that iPhone OS 4.0 had nothing to do with this.

Mail servers communicate with other mail servers using port 25. Allowing unrestricted access to external servers through port 25 just permits infected PC’s to pretend they are mail servers, sending mail directly to any other mail server on the Internet without having to have email access, authentication or privileges on any legitimate system. ISP blocking of port 25/465 cripples the existing zombie botnets, leaving them unable to spam, but has no effect whatsoever on mail server to mail server traffic. Port 25 Blocking disrupts viruses and malware programs that get on ISP customer machines and send out spam emails. The emails must now be sent through the ISP's mail server so they can monitor the volume of email and control spam sent through their systems. While blocking Port 25/465 won’t end spam, it does make it much more difficult for spammers to send the volume of email they do using infected PCs. It will also have the effect of sparing a lot of small business from having their mail servers relentlessly pounded to the point of crawling or crashing altogether.

Re: iPhone - Airplane Mode
Hi Wendy, Have a look at this link : http://www.cinemablend.com/technology/Airplane-Mode-Not-A-Guarantee-For-iPhone-Use-6801.html In theory any wireless communications are disabled in this mode, but that doesn't mean this has been accepted by all the authorities. From a physics perspective radio waves penetration is not causing significant damage. http://library.thinkquest.org/27930/spectrum.htm Mobile telephones Main article: Mobile phone radiation and health Mobile phone radiation and health concerns have been raised, especially following the enormous increase in the use of wireless mobile telephony throughout the world (as of August 2005, there were more than 2 billion users worldwide).Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range, and some[35] believe this may be harmful to human health. These concerns have induced a large body of research (both epidemiological and experimental, in non-human animals as well as in humans). Concerns about effects on health have also been raised regarding other digital wireless systems, such as data communication networks. The World Health Organization, based upon the consensus view of the scientific and medical communities, states that health effects (e.g. headaches or promotion of cancer) are unlikely to be caused by cellular phones or their base stations,[36][37] and expects to make recommendations about mobile phones in October 2009.[38] Taken from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation_and_health Besides this, your question raises some interesting issues. If there were health reasons sufficient enough for the government to force use to switch our phones off, then surely phones are not save and as such should be made illegal. If on the other hand they are save then why are they worried. My feeling is that the truth is somewhere in between. Personally I like to use my earphones when possible to give a little bit of distance between my head and the phones transmitter. It wouldn't surprise me at all if in 20 years time they come up with irrefutable evidence that mobile phone radiation is harmful to ones health. Not that long ago Radium was included in all kinds of beauty products (http://itotd.com/articles/654/the-discovery-of-radium/). Quite a lot of people who are smarter then me had a look at this and haven't come up with conclusive evidence sufficient enough to convince the government of the possible risks involved. In the end you have to make up your own mind what and who you believe. Also bear in mind just because you switch your phone off, there is still the rest of us who haven't.

Re: Time Capsule backups
This doesn't sound right? How are you connected to the time capsule? If you are on wireless, I suggest getting a network cable and do a over the wire backup. It should run much faster. My guess is that it is taking multiple backups of each of the iMovie clips. In my case iMovie splits the imports into multiple clips.

Approx 5 hours of ‘film’ time. It ran overnight to import it all and successfully finished. The memory size of all this was around 36 GB. Now that I am successfully over this hurdle, the resultant ‘need’ for the Time Capsule to back it all up results in a huge back-up job which I had expected. What I couldn’t understand was why the import ing of ‘only’ 36GB into iMovie resulted in the need for the Macbook to decide the backup needed was 116GB! It had repeatedly fai led through the day yesterday to complete the backup successfully. I thought it new best so off it went again around 5:30 yesterday even ing – this time with me looking over it with the Time Machine window open showing the progress bar. By 9PM it had reached around 50GB th rough the backup and shortly after this I noticed it had appeared to have finished – but in fact it hadn’t. Shortly after all this, the backup started all over again – right from zero having debited t he space remaining on the Time Capsule by the 50GB from what it was 4 hours earlier! The only other program running was Mail. This morning again – it had just commenced yet another 116GB backup from about the 8MB point when I noted it. I have no doubt it will fa il again. I fear that it will take many attempts before it will successfully complete the 116GB backup that it dearly wants to do for me. Questions I have are this. Why would importing 36GB of iMovie files result in 116GB with no other significant traffic having occurred? How long should a 116GB back up really take? Maybe I should inhibit any further backups till an overnight operation when there is no other potential interruption to it – even though Time Machine should seamlessly work in the background 24/7? Is it possible that the cycle for a monthly backup coincidentally occurred at the same time as my 36GB import resulting in such an extra large Backup needed?

Re: Mighty Mouse
This is one of the most annoying problems I also had to deal with. I ended up taking my mouse apart and clean it out properly. It's a little tricky to re-assemble, especially to get the 4 rollers to align with the scroller ball. Here are the disassembly instructions: http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/technology/watch/v378809PrA5a3pg Personally I think this is a design defect in the construction of the mouse. Compared to most other modern mice which have screws, Apple insists on glueing things and making it harder to fix. I guess they have fixed this in their latest incarnation, but that model comes in wireless only and it not really cheap either. I suggestion the cleaning option first, but in my case that didn't work as the roller were covered in fluff and didn't get any traction against the scroller ball.

Hi James, You can get the total amount of disk used by folder using Terminal : polaris:~ alex$ du -sh * 2.6GDownloads ... polaris:~ alex$ cd Downloads/ polaris:Downloads alex$ du -sh * 548KAbout Downloads.pdf 2.5Giphone_sdk_3.1.2_with_xcode_3.2.1__snow_leopard__10m2003.dmg ... polaris:Downloads alex$ As you can see my downloads folder holds 2.6GB out of which 2.5GB are made up of the iPhone SDK.

Re: Synching Address Books
Hi Severin, Have you taken a look at Address Book Server on the link Ronni sent you. Unlike Fruux it is rather stable, however backing up before can never hurt. Address Book Server support 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 and lets you take control of where your contacts reside. And to top it all off you can get a free license until the end of November. With your own server your contacts are always kept up-to-date, either for the entire Address Book or a particular set of Groups. It also does Calendars if you want to sync those as well. http://www.addressbookserver.com Have fun Alex On 4 Nov 2009, at 09:25, Severin Crisp wrote: Humblest apologies, Ronni, I misread your email!

I searched through my Documents Folder found how I did this a long time ago. After exporting all my Groups as vCards. vCard import group: You can import group Vcards, and have them grouped properly! The trick is that you'll need to create those groups in Address Book first: 1) Create a new group. Select it (it should be blank, so you'll see no contacts). 2) Drag your group Vcard into the window. NB: Before you do any of this, always make a backup of your Address Book (the function is built into the program) in case you make a mistake, as well as after you make any change (add, delete, make notes, etc).

This might be the way for you to go. With Address Book Server you can synchronise your Address Book with others on the same network as well as over the internet. Contacts are synchronised with your own instance of Address Book Server. Address Book Server comes in two parts a server and a client. The server should be installed on a centrally accessible Mac. The client goes on every Mac, whose Address Book you would like to synchronise. Free 5 User License keys until end of November'09

Getting involved with WAMug

Could you please let me know who I should email. Kind regards Alexander Hartner smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Re: Address Book snowed
Depending on how many contacts you have in the backup it may take some time. What I suggest is you close Address Book, reboot the Mac and then restore again. Don't open Address Book before restoring, just click on the backup file. Then go for a cup of coffee or something. When you get back your contacts should be there. If nothing happens after like 10-15 mins then try more drastic measures. Regards Alex On 09/09/2009, at 2:05 PM, Paul Weaver wrote: Installed Snow Leopard OK but addresses in Address Book have gone.

So the question is please, how do I restore the Address Book app on that account, bearing in mind that it's working ok on another account on the same machine? I have also repaired permissions with no joy. Hi Paul, You say you have a backup of your previous AddressBook folder. 1.Locate in Home Library Application Support AddressBook folder in your previous home folder. 2.Copy that folder to the same location in your new home folder, replacing the AddressBook folder there. 3.Open Address Book.
