Re: non-working printers

[Barb Zahari]

Hi Kevin

That'll be great.   8-D

I'm in Bassendean ..
4 CHAPMAN STREET, BASSENDEAN.

Near Guildford Rd, but Chapman is a cul-de-sac at Guildford Rd, so you 
come in from Guildford Rd via either Fisher St or Shackleton Rd.
I'm in the short cul-de-sac bit near Guildford Rd, 2nd from the corner 
- clearly marked on the letterbox.
(You can see my house on Google Earth.)

I'm home a lot of the time - all day/ night tomorrow (Friday) I think;
and Saturday morning till early afternoon - going out about 2.30pm.
Sunday out all day from 7.30am tilll about 5 or 6pm - have 4 cats 
entered in a show at High Wycombe.

No particular plans for any day next week from Monday on.
Just let me know what's convenient for you.

Cheers .. Barb Z

Hi Kevin .. you're very welcome!
i'm happy to give them spare room space for a little while longer if 
I know they'll be going soon.  8-D
I look forward to hearing from you when you get home.
Hope you're having a good break in Bali.

non-working printers

[Barb Zahari]

Hi

My problem - how to dispose of 2 non-working printers.
Spent ages trying to get them working, gave up & bought a new one.
Just have no space - they need to go!
Offered them on freecycle but no takers.
Is there somewhere that takes then for recycling?
Or do I just put them in the bin? .. or what??

(These are the details if anyone's interested in tinkering or could use 
parts.)
(1) EPSON C87 plus.
   Used for about 18 months.
   Stopped working when a new colour cartridge was inserted - just 
refused to recognise
   the new cartridge with a message that that colour was missing.
   Hasn't been used for a year so inks will all be dried up I should 
think.

(2) CANON Pixma
   Was not used for 2 months over the December - February hot 
weather.
   Print heads possibly clogged with dried ink - has had head 
cleaning routine run several
   times, appears to be printing but produces blank sheets only.
   Has had one new red colour cartridge inserted & comes with a 
spare blue/cyan cartridge.

I'll second that .. no problems at all in 3 years of use, & the service

Just the fact that phone calls are answered 24/7 by real people here in

Hi Barb,

Some of my Apple gear came with me when I moved back to Oz from 
Canada. Apple power adapters generally handle voltages world-wide -- 
just confirm that the adapter handles 240V and 50Hz. What you need is 
called a reverse travel adapter for Singapore, that is to say and 
adaptor that converts a Singapore style plug to an Australian one. 
Note, that even thought the power adapter and the revers travel 
adapter are called by the same term, they are different items. The 
power adapter actually converts wall socket voltage to computer DC 
voltage whereas the reverse travel adapter just is a different shaped 
plug.


 With time if you need to replace the power adapter, just buy an 
Australian one from the Apple store and you can then store the travel 
adapter for your next Singaporean gadget.


Cheers,
Carlo

Hi Barb,

You say your existing ethernet modem/router is working well and has 
given

you no problems and that (until the promise of a new iPad) you weren't
planing on using a wireless network.

In your situation, I wouldn't bother getting a wireless modem (which 
Apple
doesn't make) - I would just get a wireless base station (which Apple 
does

make).

The AirPort Extreme is probably overkill for you - since the Airport 
Express

should do everything you need:

<http://store.apple.com/au/product/MB321X/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes>

Being Apple, it is very easy to set-up and you also have the options 
(but

only if you want to) of plugging a USB printer into it (for wireless
printing) or connecting it to your stereo and streaming your iTunes 
music

from your computer to your stereo.

Even though my billion ADSL/VOIP router does have wireless capability 
it is
old and didn't play well with my Macs if I tried to turn on WPA 
security - I
could have persevered (updating modem firmware, etc) but I had an 
Airport
Express and found it much easier to turn off the wireless on the 
Billion

modem and just set-up a wireless network with the Airport Express.

Just my 2c worth ;o)

Hi all

I always like this Keyboard cleaning thread when it comes up.
As an other option (once the keyboard is clean,...) look at getting
something like the iSkin range of Keyboard covers.

I use them on all the keyboards I have here (and laptops too).  
Although they

take a little to get used to them, I love them now. They are a sort of
plastic/rubber cover that goes over the keyboard. It protects it from  
dirt
and dust (and even the odd water spill), and the new ones have a  
microban

feature. And they are washable.
So it means once it's on the keyboard, you never have to worry about  
the
Keyboard ever again! (And I've got some keyboards going on 5+ years  
old that
look as new as they day they came out of the packet (well pretty  
close to
it)). When the cover gets dirty, you just take it off, wash it and  
then put

it back on again.

(They also do covers for iPhones and iPods as well as laptops, and  
including

the Apple Wireless Keyboard).

You can see the whole range here:-


For the Aluminium Wireless keyboard:-


Apple Aluminium Keyboard:-


Previous white Apple Keyboard (And wireless keyboard)


For MacBook, MacBookPro and MacBook Air


Generally retail for about $45-$55, so not "overly" cheap, but if you
consider you can wash them and replacement cost of a keyboard, they  
work out

quite a good cost. (Plus factor in time taken to have to clean the
keyboard!!)

If anyone is interested, or wants more info, feel free to contact me  
off
list. If enough people want them, I can see if I can get a "bulk  
discount"

for a WAMUG purchase.

Just something else to consider as well.

Kind Regards
Daniel

G'day Severin.

Just to add my two cents worth. A couple of years ago; before I  
became a
convert; I was trying to find out how to remove the keys from my  
keyboard
attached to my old PC. I was surprised how many people on the net  
had actually
put their keyboards in the dishwasher. It was pretty much agreed  
that because
they were basically "solid state with no wires" it was safe as long  
as they
were dried properly. Most people, like Peter left their keyboards  
for about

three days to really dry.

From memory, the other point was not to use hot water.

I'm my own dishwasher so I didn't try it. Also didn't want to be  
without a
keyboard for 3 days so just removed each key and cleaned everything  
bit by bit

with rubbing alcohol - it was all plastic.

My only problem with the Apple keyboard (perhaps Peter or someone  
else can
comment on this) is that it has the usb cable permanently attached  
and I don't
know how that would go in a dishwasher. I would imagine the wireless  
ones

would be fine.

The other thing about this post is that now I have taken a closer  
look at my
own keyboard - it's starting to look a little grubby. Rats! Better  
turn the

lighting down a notch!!

Regards,

Pete Smith

It sounds a bit drastic but one method that works very well (I've  
tried it
myself) is to put the keyboard in the dishwasher! You must avoid  
soap, and
preferably have nothing else in the dishwasher at the time. You  
must also
ensure that the keyboard is completely dry before using it (I hung  
mine on
the clothesline for three days). As with all things, proceed at  
your own

risk.

I find that with the new aluminium keyboards a simply wipe down  
with a damp

cloth is all it takes.

As a result (after spending half the night on the phone with 3

I've never really used this imac up till now & it's never been on line

Now I find it has a locked Keychain which keeps requiring a password

It won't let me change the password because it's locked.

(1) How do I either kill or disable Keychain, or at least unlock it?

(2) How do I remove IE totally - don't want it & the version on here 
seems

unable to render any pages correctly anyway.

(3) Where can I find a  Firefox 2.0.0.20 dmg to download - have spent 
a
couple of hours looking & the only one I could download turned out to 
be

"Firefox php" .. the imac just said "Can't open this with Quicktime".
Google searches purporting to find 2.0.0.20 keep leading to later 
versions.
(Had no trouble downloading /opening /installing a Camino dmg for 
OS10.3.9).


Thanks for any help!
Feeling mightily frustratwd atm.

car to

hopefully get it fixed asap!)

Oh dear - asleep on the mac again!!  8-D

Ah, I misinterpreted ... thanks!

I quite like inspecting/tweaking - taught myself all about using 
computers on the mac Classic (1998) & then the strawberry imac (1999) 
through OS 7, 8, 9 by opening & shutting everything that would open &

Haven't done much in OSX though - maybe a bit nervous of it still - I

tweak/inspect/fix things if you go looking for them - some people enjoy
playing with all this but many people prefer the "if it's not broken - 
don't
mess with it" approach - of course, when it IS broken, you have to 
mess with

it ;)

Hi Neil

Something won at least. eh?

No don't think so - this older imac (grey/transparent slot loader
all-in-one) is running 10.3.9 same as the ethernet-less emac.
The version of Keychain installed on here is Keychain Access 3.1.4,
installed 13/04/05 - 5.51am - some teacher was up & at it early!!

I've never actually used Keychain on any mac before - never found it
necessary.

I suspect the differences are due to the school IT team changing &
locking down certain items to keep the students out of them!

Hi Barb,

Glad to hear you finally cracked it and unlocked your keychain.

From your original post I see you are using OSX 10.3.9, so I expect 
the

differences you now see are due to how Keychain Access has developed
from
10.3 to 10.6.

Personally, I had a big upgrade from 10.2 straight to 10.5, so I 
never

used
10.3 or 10.4.

Hooray! Finally found a downloadable version of Firefox 2.0.0.20 for 
the OS10.3.9 running on this older imac - using it now.


Got sick of Safari when it wouldn't connect to my bank this afternoon, 
& went Googling again.

(This time I've KEPT the installer - just in case!)

Thanks Daniel!
Will let you know .. I have been offered another emac from a very kind 
WAMUG member .. don't know whether with system, if so which system - so 
will let you know how that pans out!

Might or might not be looking for OS10.4.

Oh dear .. my brain's overloaded & haven't even had dinner yet - time I

Goodnight for now, & thanks again for your help.

Re: Locked Keychain Problem

[Barb Zahari]

Thanks Daniel!

I think it looks like they've changed things to get it all locked down 
tight to prevent student hi-jinks!!!


Yep, looks like I'll have to take the archive & install route - 
although I don't really need to archive - only stuff on here since Tues 
& I've kept everything I've done  in specific folders on the desktop 
which I can easily copy to a flash drive.

Just a PITA as I'll have to reinstall several Apps as well!

Won't be done till the weekend at least though - very short on time for 
everything I have to do atm - the interior of  my house looks like the 
storm went through!!

Hi Barb

You've definitely got something weird going on there.
You were definitely looking in:-
Macintosh HD/Users//Library/Keychains/
The X509 Anchors should be in another "system level" keychain folder, 
so for

it to be in your user directory Keychain folder is quite strange.
(I checked it on 4 machines here and in the following directory
Macintosh HD/Users//Library/Keychains/
They all have just the login.keychain file (well apart from the 
Microsoft

Certificate ones).
But the X509 files are all stored in the System structure folders, 
which

normally you don't need to go into.
So yeh,. Something strange is going on there.
Oh, and the folder should be Keychains with the s, so that's strange 
also.

I'd be trying to correct it quite a bit, and perhaps if nothing "Easy"
solves it, I'd be going for an "archive and install" or very least 
resetting

the password/keychains from a DVD/CD. (As Ronni mentioned previously).

I've never really used this imac up till now & it's never been on

It won't let me change the password because it's locked.

(1) How do I either kill or disable Keychain, or at least unlock it?


 I hope I'm not too late with this, but the quick way to fix the
keychain issue is to navigate to ~/Library/Keychains and delete the
file called "login.keychain". The next time it's needed, Mac OS X 
will
stop and ask you to confirm that you want to add your current 
password

to the keychain. Just say yes and it will create a new version of
login.keychain.

(In case you're not sure, and for the benefit of others who may not
know, the "~" character in the path above stands for "Home", so 
you're

looking for the Library folder in your Home folder)

From perusing the stuff in the "~/Library/Keychain" items & other stuff

Hi Barb,

If you haven't got anything on this iMac yet that you need to keep, 
why don't you do and "Erase & Clean Install" of Panther.

You need to locate the Mac  OS X CD.
Insert the OS X CD, restart the iMac while holding down the C key, 
which starts up the Mac from the CD and launches the Mac OS X 
Installer.


How to Erase My Hard Drive in Panther:

1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.3 Install CD into the Mac and restart the 
computer.


2. Hold down the "C" button as the computer chimes and wait for the 
Mac to start up from the CD before releasing the button.


3. Click "Installer" and open "Disk Utility."

4. Select your hard drive from the list of drives on the left-hand 
side of the screen and click on the "Erase" tab.


5. Select the volume format you want to use from the "Volume Format" 
pop-up menu. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled).


6. Click on "Options" and choose "Zero All Data," "7-Pass Erase" or 
"35-Pass Erase."
Note: "Zero All Data" doesn't take as long as the other options and 
will be ok for you to use.


7. Click "OK" and "Erase."

After the iMac restarts and you setup your Account and Password etc.

Go here & Download the Combo OS X 10.3.9 Update & install it.
<http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_Combined_Update_10_3_9>

DON'T forget to "Repair Permissions" after installing the Combo Update.
=
As long as PLC did not turn on Filevault (which required a "Master 
Password") and

If you only wish to create a new Administrator's Password in Panther:

1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.3 Install CD into the Mac and restart the 
computer.


2. Hold down the "C" button as the computer chimes and wait for the 
Mac to start up from the CD before releasing the button. 


3. On the first Installer Screen, Choose "Installer > Reset Password.

4. When the "Reset Password" screen appears, click the HD that 
contains Mac OS X.


5.  From the first pop-up Menu, choose the Name of your Account.

6. Now make a new password and type it in both boxed.

7. Click Save.

8. Close the Window, click the Installer, and Restart.

AND Remember your Password ;-)

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Locked Keychain Problem

[Barb Zahari]

Thanks for that Daniel.
Might try a few more "guesses" then before I give up!

And on another note, got a phone call from Macs4U this morning to say 
the ethernet port is not repairable, so will have to go fetch the emac 
back - hopefully tomorrow, need info on it ...
(would have today but atm I'm physically knackered! Not supposed to 
lift heavy stuff.)

Don't know what it's going to cost for that info!
A USB to ethernet cable is $8.00 but they're not sure if it will work.

Can reinstall, have system disk, can't remember how I got Classic on 
the emac - does it come automatically with OS10.3?
Classic is vital or I won't be able to use my legit/registered 5.02 
version of Photoshop!!


Cheers .. BarbZ

Hi Barb

I won't put too much faith in the 7 dots. Most of those "fields" will 
revert
to 7 dots regardless of how long the password is. This makes it harder 
for

anyone trying to "guess" what someones password is.
You can imagine if someone had "Cat" as their password, then 3 dots
showing,..someone trying to guess would have a pretty easy guess. 
Likewise

if the persons password is 13 characters long,...but they only see 7
dots,..they are going to try and guess a 7 letter password,..and be no 
where

near the actual password. ;o)

Probably doesn't help at all, but just thought I'd mention it.
Normally if the account name is admin and they've set the password the 
same

then it can either be admin or Admin (Passwords are case sensitive).
But yes, if nothing works, best to reset it off a DVD/CD with an OS on 
it.

Re: Locked Keychain Problem

[Barb Zahari]

Hi Peter

Have checked this out and under
~/Library/Keychain (not plural Keychains)
There's only 2 items:
*X509 Certificates
*X509 Anchors
Both of which can't be opened - trying gets "The item is either locked 
or damaged or in a folder you don't have permission to change. (Error - 
5000)


So NO "Log-in Keychain" file to delete.

Under "Applications -> Keychains"
there's:
*FileVaultMaster,cer
*FileVaultMaster.keychain
*System.keychain
All of which are greyed out.

Cheers .. BarbZ

login.keychain.

Re: Locked Keychain Problem

[Barb Zahari]

Hi Neil .. Thanks!

Have taken note of those suggestions & will look at implementing later 
(been a hectic couple of days moving emac/imac etc & trying to catch up 
with some essential (voluntary) work/reports/minutes/etc!),


As far as I can see there's only one account listed - shows account 
name & Admin,
but then in the "Password" box it shows a 7 dot (character) password & 
I have no idea what that is!!
(There's no "Password Hint" which I always fill in!! - OAP memory 
getting a bit fuzzy!)
I was told at the time that they'd changed both a/c name & password to 
the same word.


They were pretty hassled that day at the PLC Easter Fair - crowds round 
the mac table - maybe someone just forgot!!


Keychain Access Menu is headed "Keychain Login (Locked)"
Under the "Keychain Access Menu" there are the following:
*About Keychain Access
*Services (Finder, Grab, Mail etc - all of which are greyed out)
*Hide Keychain Access
*Hide Others
*Show All (which leads nowhere)
*Quit Keychain Access

NO Preferences -> NO First Aid -> NO General!

If I hit anything that looks like it might change something, I get 
"Please Enter Your Keychain Password".

(Eg ""Password", "Copy Password", "Access Control", "Unlock")

Cheers .. BarbZ

Hi Barb

Lots of good suggestions already - just a couple more points/items to 
check:


First-off, the instructions below are as on my Snow Leopard - since 
you are
running an older system, things may not be exactly the same - but the 
same

principles apply.

In the "Keychain Access" application, under the main "Keychain Access" 
menu,

you will find the "preferences' item - open the preferences and:

-   Under the "First Aid" tab, which boxes are ticked (for me, all four
boxes are ticked)

-   Under the "General" tab, there is a "Reset My Default Keychain" 
button
which "Reverts to factory defaults and creates a new empty "login" 
keychain.

Your current default keychain will be moved aside, but not deleted."
In essence, this is similar to Peter's suggestion to delete the 
keychain and
let OSX create a new one but since the old one is not actually 
deleted, you

may be able to later retrieve information from it if you want/need.


Before trying that, however, you may just want to see if there is a
repairable keychain problem:

In the "Keychain Access" application, under the main "Keychain Access" 
menu,
there is a command "Keychain First Aid" which gives you the option to 
verify
and/or repair the keychain(s). The "Keychain First Aid" window which 
opens
up asks for User Name and Password but should open up with the user 
name you
are logged-in with filled in and you should not need to enter the 
password,
since you are already logged-in (well, that's what I find - assuming 
your

preferences are set like mine).

Set to "verify", press "start" and see what it reports - if all is 
well the
dialogue should conclude "No problems found Verification completed" if 
a

problem is found try "Repair"

If anything is found, let us know the result.



I'm not really clear from your posts whether you have just the one user
account that is the admin account (which you are having the problems 
with)
or if there is an admin account that you don't have the password to 
and your

user account that doesn't have admin privileges.



They gave me a new username/password (both the same) when I got it, 
but

that one doesn't work either!!!

Is this the only account on the computer and, if not, does it have 
admin

privileges:

Open system preferences, go to the "Accounts" pane and see what 
accounts are
listed - eg for me, at the top it shows under "My Account" the account 
"Neil
Houghton" (that I am currently logged in under) with "Admin" listed 
below,
then under "Other Accounts" it lists some other user accounts and 
"Guest

Account"

What is your set-up - in particular, is there another admin account 
rather

than your log-in account?


So, to summarise:

-   Do you just have the single user admin account.

-   What are your keychain preference settings (in particular, is your
log-in keychain the default and is it set to be kept unlocked while 
you are

logged-in)

-   Have you tried verifying and, if necessary, repairing your 
keychain.


-   You can always hit the "Reset My Default Keychain" button and 
start from

scratch.



Hope that helps.


Cheers

Hi Barb

Also, when it comes up with the password screen have you tried either 
a)

just leaving it blank and clicking OK


Yep tried that, but it annoyingly keeps coming back - at least it seems 
to be letting me use Safari now, but it seems a bit flaky (kept 
quitting at random moments) so I've downloaded Camino for OS10.3.9 & 
using that.



or b) entering "password" as the
password (Without "")


Didn't try that obvious one! Tried a few "school related" words but no 
go!



 or c) putting in the same password as the username. Eg
if the username is Admin then use admin or Admin as the password.
Sometimes on clean installs the "easy" option is entered.


They gave me a new username/password (both the same) when I got it, but 
that one doesn't work either!!!


Also, with your eMac, I'd just be a bit weary of getting it 
"repaired". As
the Ethernet port is normally on the logicboard for most models, they 
are

very very expensive and worth well and truly more then the machine is
worth!! I'd try a PRAM zap to reset it then see if it works, and if 
that
doesn't it'd make a call to a service centre and a) see what a rough 
cost is
and b) how much they charge to even just look at it. (Again, the 
service

charge may be worth more then repairing the machine).


Oh well .. it's already in to be looked at .. will see what they say - 
can't bear this imac for too long after a couple of years on the emac!

And where would I get another emac for that price? (I don't do ebay.)
He did suggest that if it is a dead ethernet port, I could probably 
circumvent it by using a USB-to-ethernet cable instead.


I was able to get into Mail, get rid of their PLC set up & set up my 
own Westnet details (copying from the emac ), & it's now happily 
downloading my email.


Sorry, would have posted earlier as well, have spent most of the day 
since
5pm last night without power (til late afternoon today) and still 
working

through yesterday's and last nights work. Thanks storm,... :o)

Hope something there helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel


Bad luck about the power failure!
My friend's in Southern River & she had no power from yesterday into 
today as well - looks like it might have been worse south of the river.
Didn't lose power round here, but it was pretty LOUD (I have a tin 
roof!).
Actually it's one of the rare occasions we DIDN'T lose power - usually 
happens here every time we have rain after dry weather.

Re: Locked Keychain Problem

[Barb Zahari]

Thanks so much Ronni for those detailed instructions - have saved & 
will do that later.
Emac in at Macs4U (as it's just up the road from me)  - nearly killed 
me getting it in the car.
Probably get them to upgrade the RAM to 1 gig at the same time - only 
has 512mb (in 2 chips of course!!).
Be Friday at the earliest before I get it back & have some urgent 
minutes/agenda/photoshopping stuff to do.
This imac already has Word & Photoshop on it so I'll use those in the 
interim.
Have legit disks for both so can re-install but just no time atm - 
minutes should be out & circulated tomorrow!!


Cheers .. BarbZ

Hi Barb,

If you haven't got anything on this iMac yet that you need to keep, 
why don't you do and "Erase & Clean Install" of Panther.

You need to locate the Mac  OS X CD.
Insert the OS X CD, restart the iMac while holding down the C key, 
which starts up the Mac from the CD and launches the Mac OS X 
Installer.


How to Erase My Hard Drive in Panther:

1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.3 Install CD into the Mac and restart the 
computer.


2. Hold down the "C" button as the computer chimes and wait for the 
Mac to start up from the CD before releasing the button.


3. Click "Installer" and open "Disk Utility."

4. Select your hard drive from the list of drives on the left-hand 
side of the screen and click on the "Erase" tab.


5. Select the volume format you want to use from the "Volume Format" 
pop-up menu. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled).


6. Click on "Options" and choose "Zero All Data," "7-Pass Erase" or 
"35-Pass Erase."
Note: "Zero All Data" doesn't take as long as the other options and 
will be ok for you to use.


7. Click "OK" and "Erase."

After the iMac restarts and you setup your Account and Password etc.

Go here & Download the Combo OS X 10.3.9 Update & install it.
<http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_Combined_Update_10_3_9>

DON'T forget to "Repair Permissions" after installing the Combo Update.
=
As long as PLC did not turn on Filevault (which required a "Master 
Password") and

If you only wish to create a new Administrator's Password in Panther:

1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.3 Install CD into the Mac and restart the 
computer.


2. Hold down the "C" button as the computer chimes and wait for the 
Mac to start up from the CD before releasing the button. 


3. On the first Installer Screen, Choose "Installer > Reset Password.

4. When the "Reset Password" screen appears, click the HD that 
contains Mac OS X.


5.  From the first pop-up Menu, choose the Name of your Account.

6. Now make a new password and type it in both boxed.

7. Click Save.

8. Close the Window, click the Installer, and Restart.

AND Remember your Password ;-)

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Deleting old email address

[Barb Zahari]

DISCLAIMER:
THIS EMAIL WAS NOT ACTUALLY SENT BY BARB ZAHARI.
I HAVE SENT THIS EMAIL USING BARB'S "FROM" DETAILS TO DEMONSTRATE TO HER
THAT SHE CAN EASILY SEND AN EMAIL "FROM" HER OLD ACCOUNT. (To unsubscribe or
to "confirm" her unsubscription).

I realise that, normally, sending email purporting to be "from" someone else
is unconscionable, which is why I have included this clarification upfront.

I hope no-one finds this demonstration unacceptable.

Hi Barb,

You certainly should be able to do this - you can send emails that appear to
come from any email address -it is something spammers do all the time, which
confuses many people who get accused of sending spam by friends who receive
spam purporting to come from their friends!

While spoofing an email address in this fashion is obviously not to be
condoned, there are often legitimate reasons to change the "from" address in
an email (eg your case).

To prove the point, I just created a new test account in entourage and set
it up with your name and email address.

Since I don't actually have access to your email account (obviously) I just
left all the receiving settings blank but used my ISP's SMTP server as the
sending SMTP server. When I went to save the account, I was warned that
without the relevant info I would only be able to send mail, not receive it
(obviously - I can't actually access your email account).

I have used this test account to send this reply to the group - which as you
see appears to come from you and from your westnet email address.

I am not sure what problems you encountered, so I have included a couple of
queries against your post, below:

If the old account doesn't exist on the new machine, then you can just
create a temporary test account, as I did for this exercise.

However, if the old account doesn't exist, how exactly did you "try to reply
with it" and when you say "it won't go" what exactly happened.

Often problems with sending an email are due to trying to send through the
wrong SMTP server - nowadays (as an anti-spam measure) most ISP's require
you to send through their SMTP servers and block any messages which you try
and send through another SMTP server - for example, if I take my laptop to
Perth and connect to the net through my mother-in-law's Westnet broadband I
can continue to receive all my emails with my Albany settings but if I want
to SEND emails, I have to chande the SMTP setting in the account(s) I want
to send from to the Westnet SMTP (and then back to Internode's SMTP when I
return to Albany).

>From your original posting, you currently have 2 subscriptions to the WAMUG
list - one for your old IT email address and one for your new Westnet email
address. As far as the list goes these are as separate as if you were two
separate people - both called Barb Zahari ;) - so actions on one do not
affect the other and anything you do to/with the old IT email address should
not affect your Westnet email subscription.

For a while when I was having problems with my primary email, I had two
subscriptions to the list - the second subscription was as a digest and
enabled me to check on any posts I missed while my main email was playing up
- when I got it sorted, I just unsubscribed the second email address.

Having said that, I think there are a couple of reasons why you would be
better unsubscribing the old address rather than just asking Westnet to
delete it:

1) From the mailing list point of view, unsubscribing is clean - the
subscription is just cancelled. If you don't unsubscribe, but just delete
the email account, the list will continue to send the posts - which will
then "bounce" back. Most mailing lists then have policies/prcedures in place
to automatically deal with "bouncing" members - typically a few "bounces"
are allowed (even working emails can have problems) before an address is
dee

Re: Deleting old email address

[Barb Zahari]

Thanks Ronnie

I did that .. but now I've received the automated message that wants me 
to verify unsubscribing from my Westnet email address!!

I'm ignoring it as it says to if you don't want to confirm.

Just checked again & I don't get the option to use the old IT address 
with "Unsubscribe" - just my Westnet address & my mac.com address.

under Mailing List click on

And unsubscribe you OLD email address.

Re: Deleting old email address

[Barb Zahari]

Thanks Neil ...

But I don't think I can do this.
The old email account was IE on my old no-longer-functioning imac.

On this emac I'm using Mail only.
The old IT address doesn't exist on this emac & if I try to reply with 
it, it won't go.


The fact that the old imac is no longer functioning is why the in-box 
built up to 50+mb - I used to clear the mail on the imac once a week, 
which cleared the web mail in-box.
Hadn't been doing that via web mail, so this afternoon spent a very 
boring amount of time clearing over 2000 messages from web mail.


I actually want to ask Westnet to delete that address, but don't know 
what effect that will have with the WAMUG mailing list??

Hi Barb,

You just need to send an unsubscribe message that is "from" the old 
address


- the fact that the old setup no longer works doesn't stop you doing 
this


- you just need to edit your old email account (in Mail or Entourage or
whatever email client you use) so that the "Sending Mail" SMTP server 
is the
Westnet SMTP server (ie the same as the SMTP server for your new 
working

Westnet email account)

- Then just select one of the WAMUG messages that is "to" your old 
address

and hit reply, the "from" field should be showing the old address

- change the "to" address to  and hit 
send


- the message should then just be sent through the Westnet SMTP server 
but

with your old email address as the "from" header.

1.Change your "nearest city" back to Perth-Australia
2.Restart your computer.

3.Then If the Menu Bar clock is still showing the incorrect time try 
deleting this file.


 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

4. Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

5. If that doesn't correct the Menu Bar Time, go back & change 
"nearest city" to Singapore ;-)

Re: Menu Bar showing DS time

Hi Ronni .. should have said I guess .. I'm on 10.3.9.

Won't be going any higher than where I can use Classic because I'd fade 
away without Photoshop, & there's no way in the rest of this OAP 
lifetime I can ever buy a current version!
Plus, it's a 2004 emac from PLC with 512 RAM & prob not suited to 
things like Leopard!


Hate to admit it, but I don't have a clue how to find/get into 
~/Library .. I set the emac up with OSX/Classic (moving on from OS9) 
back in April 2008 & since then everything's just run trouble free - 
never had to adjust/fix anything!

Except for a bit of a hiccup with Mail which got sorted.)
Know/knew my way round OS9 intimately, but not OSX!

Menu Bar showing DS time

[Barb Zahari]

Help please!
Sure I should know this but I've obviously forgotten!

Menu bar on my emac thinks we're in daylight saving time since last 
night.
Been into System Preferences - Date/Time - & that's showing the correct 
time (WST), but the menu bar is an hour later.


Vaguely remember doing something 3 years ago to get DS time, no idea 
what now. 8-(


Threw me this morning .. had to leave here 7.30am & when I checked emac 
time (usually the most reliable clock in the house), it said 8.30am - 
bit of a shock to the system at that time on a Sunday morning!

Re: Spam bombardment

[Barb Zahari]

I think it's *your* email address, not Westnet per se.

I don't actually use my old IT email address but it's still running so 
I can pick up the odd stragglers who haven't  got my Westnet email 
address yet.
The old IT address started getting massive amounts of spam before I 
changed to Westnet & is now getting 60 or more spam emails a day 
(including the CNN one).


My Westnet email address so far gets NO spam at all, & I haven't paid 
for their spam filtering service.

it's time to start shopping around for better service.   Any
suggestions?

Re: Westnet login on Safari

[Barb Zahari]

I've had this same problem on & off with Mail ever since moving to 
Westnet from IT in April.
It won't remember my email address or password details either, or says 
they're incorrect.
Just this morning I got a "message" that Mail could not log in because 
my password was incorrect & had to re-enter password - despite the fact 
that it had been happily downloading emails for hours before this.

Re: Google Maps "Street View"

[Barb Zahari]

The satellite images of Perth, at least in my area, are over 5 years 
old - I can tell from my own backyard.
I moved here Jan 30 2003 & a month or so later enclosed half the 
backyard for my cats - the satellite photo shows no enclosure, so must 
be prior to March 2003.


Street view of my place is definitely taken sometime after the 
beginning of 2007, likely summer (either 2007 or 2007/08) from the 
early morning shadows.


Also found there is almost no coverage of the whole Bellarine Peninsula 
in Victoria, virtually one main road from Geelong to Torquay only.


And if you look at the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, where one of my 
sons lives, they have covered some roads but not others;
ie his house is near a T junction - the other road is covered, but not 
his. I can see the junction of his road & the first 2 houses, but not 
his house which is the 3rd in the street. Looking at the "blue lined" 
street map of the area, quite a few streets have been missed.


Also found the satellite photos are not always accurate in pinpointing 
an address.
My other son lives in London, & Google Maps marks his place a whole 
block away from its actual location - I've stayed there 3 times & know 
the various features of the area, so can pick out the actual corner 
it's on.

HeHe,

I sort of noticed the opposite round here.

The Street view photos are obviously much more recent than the

images.

So you can have the surreal situation where the street view is showing 
a
house while the photo pointer on the satellite view shows you are 
looking at

open space, with no signs of a building to be seen.

It would be interesting to know the photo dates, at any particular 
location,

for both the satellite images and the street views!!

Re: eMacs and System 9

You're right.
Bought my combo drive emac last year from PLC (Aug 2002 version I 
think) .. tried booting into OS 9 .. totally refused, it's details are:

Machine Model:  eMac
  CPU Type: PowerPC G4  (2.1)
  Number Of CPUs:   1
  CPU Speed:700 MHz
  L2 Cache (per CPU):   256 KB
  Memory:   512 MB
  Bus Speed:100 MHz
  Boot ROM Version: 4.4.4f1


Installed Classic over 10.3.9 & use that to run my old Word 98 & 
Photoshop 5 apps.

Can't remember the exact details, but there was a cutoff point around 
2003-2004, after which new Macs could run Classic applications only 
from Mac OS X, but not boot into Mac OS 9. This was when Apple stages 
a public "funeral" for Mac OS 9 on stage. Your 1 Gb eMac would no 
doubt be one of the macs manufactured after that date, and as far as 
I'm aware there is no work-around. It's a firmware thing.


I believe that is shown on the Boot Rom version

Do an" about this Mac "( in the drop down menu under the apple 
)


and then  " more info "

and the Boot Rom version is hown under " hardware "

As i remember the last Boot Rom version that will boot OS 9   is   
4.2.8


Larger numbers will only boot OSX

Re: Who is getting an iPhone tomorrow?

Doesn't work .. I've tried restarting my very simple Nokia prepaid on

Never mind 3G coverage - I can't even get a decent Vodaphone signal for 
plain vanilla mobile calls/text inside my small single-story house in

Never had a problem with this - same phone - in the 3 years or so with

Re: Downloading email & removing an e-mail account

[Barb Zahari]

Just to wrap up my problem with Mac Mail unable to download email from 
Westnet's webmail ...


Spent 110 minutes on the phone on Monday night with Westnet Tech 
Support - finally, after trying many many different manoeuvres with 
Mail's preferences we got it sorted around 1.00am - still with the same 
settings I started out with!
Neither the Tech guy nor I really know what the problem was - we just 
stumbled on a fix after deactivating/activating/ creating new accounts/ 
playing with terminal/ changing info in the original account then 
changing it back/ etc etc.


*However* .. I've only been using Mail for a short time & still not 
very familiar with it's quirks.
Wish I'd known about the consequences of deleting versus deactivating 
an account right then.
I had 3 accounts under mail: Westnet, my old IT account, & mail 
forwarded from mac.com.
He thought something might have happened with their email upgrade to 
make Mac Mail confused about the Westnet & IT accounts, s ...
one of his suggestions was to delete the IT account - as a consequence 
I lost all the mail in my in-box dated from 31 May to 27 June 40+ 
emails.

(27 to 30 mail was all backed up on the webmail.)
As far as the Tech guy knows there's no way at all of retrieving the 
lost mail .. & I can only remember what a few of them were!

Re: Downloading Email

[Barb Zahari]

Hi Ian

Emac, OS 10.3.9, Mail 1.3.11, Westnet

I've had the same problem since 2pm on June 27 - Mail won't download 
any emails, although I can read them on Westnet's webmail.
The only exception is emails sent to my mac.com address which *are* 
automatically forwarded on as usual.


No other problems, had not closed the emac down, had a power failure, 
etc, etc - just stopped working.


Have triple checked settings (including the earlier advice to check 
that  "Password" hasn't changed in "Advanced"), re-entered all 
info/password etc, repaired permissions, done restarts & complete close 
downs of the emac, closed & restarted Mail - no joy!


Haven't yet rung Westnet Support, but expect they will give the same 
spiel about settings.


Funny that it's now 3 people with this problem all with Westnet.

Hope someone has the answer!

Re: Re-installing Panther

[Barb Zahari]

Hi Ian

Just as a matter of interest, if you do decide to re-install Panther, 
the updates from OS 10.3 to OS 10.3.9 are available as one combined 
updater from the Apple site. I just did this a couple of months ago.

I have all the original literature and discs, one of which contains a 
folder "Applications" which presumably contains Safari. Instead of 
trying to isolate Safari, which I haven't been able to do as yet, and 
reinstall it, would it be sensible to attempt a complete reinstall. I 
would lose the benefit of the many upgrades to Panther that there have 
been but maybe they would still be available for download from Apple.

OS9 (for Classic) on emac - more info ...

It looks like I can't use this option anyway.

So, would an OS 9.1 full install disc work on the emac?
Or is there such a thing as an OS 9.2 or 9.2.2 full install disc?
If so, where can I get one or other of them?

OS9 (for Classic) on emac

[Barb Zahari]

Hi all

I have an emac I bought from PLC (Power PC G4, 700mz, 512mb SDRAM) on which
I've installed OS 10.3 & upgraded to 10.3.9.
The OSX installation discs I got with it don't appear to have OS9 included.
I want to be able to use Classic for some apps.
Classic requires at least OS 9.1

(The emac is not able to start up in OS9.)

How do I get OS 9.0-> 9.1-> 9.2->9.2.2 onto the emac?

I have an OS9.0 CD & updaters for 9.1 & 9.2.2, but the emac won't accept OS
9.0 to begin with.
Just keeps telling me there's no OS9 system folder.

Have checked Apple, & OS 9.1 is available as a free download but it's 70+mb
& I'm on dial up.
Can I get an OS 9.1 installation disc somewhere?
And will this work? ie installing OS9 (any version) after installing OSX?

emac media tray problem

[Barb Zahari]

Hi all 

Bought an emac/keyboard/mouse "as is", with no system installed, from the
PLC sale.
It was demonstrated as running OK before I bought it.
Have the discs to install OSX but have a problem as I can't open the CD/DVD
tray.

Keyboard is plugged into one of the emac's USB ports.
The emac turns on & displays the mac face/flashing question mark indicating
no system available, but the media eject button on the keyboard does not
open the media tray as it should.

Power is reaching the keyboard as I have the mouse plugged into a keyboard
USB port & the mouse appears to be "live" (ie red light shining underneath).

Am I missing something simple here?
Or is it likely that either the keyboard or the media tray is
non-functional?

*Very* frustrating as I was all geared up to make the leap from my old
strawberry imac & OS9!

Non-working Epson Stylus Colour

[Barb Zahari]

Hi Wamuggers

Can anybody make use of this?
Seems a shame to throw it away.

Epson Colour Stylus 760 with cables & software CD.
Runs on mac OS9 or PC Windows 98 - may be other drivers on-line, haven't
checked.

Printer is currently NOT WORKING - was running fine till 2 days ago, just
stopped with all lights flashing.
Have checked/re-installed software & looked for blockages, seems like a
mechanical failure.

I suspect it *could* be just the black ink cartridge is not seated properly
as I'd just put in a brand new one & the cover of the cartridge space seems
to be not closed properly, but can't get the cartridge holder to move out to
check/fix that.
Has part full colour cartridge as well.

Have replaced the printer, but may be fixable by tech inclined person!

Might be of use to someone wanting to restore or set up a simple system or a
collector!

* Mac Classic (plus manual) - not working - got knocked off a shelf & now
tinkles when shaken;  also may need new HD.

* Apple Stylewriter 2 (black & white print only) plus manual  - worked fine
last time used, very crisp B & w text & images - will need ink, not used for
a longish while). 
Can use with iMac but would need a conversion cable.

* Boxed Teleport/Fax Modem -  9600 baud fax transmission direct from mac,
includes cable & manual

* Hypercard installer floppy & Hypercard Basics Manual

* Early mac software manuals:
  MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw, ClarisWorks Handbook,
  Filemaker Pro Manual,
   Macintosh LC user's Guide plus complete set-up floppies for an LC

Probably still have the software floppies for MacWrite, MacPaint & MacDraw
- will have a look if anyone's interested.

Just running out of storage space here - seems a waste to bin it all!
