Re: Apple Discount card

[Frank Salleo]

Hi
I got it twice as well. Checked the email source and the website it was
pointing to was a hacked site in Norway. Looked authentic, but too good to
be true. Pay $9.00 for $100 credit.

Re: dead G5

[Frank Salleo]

Hi Ken
You should try resetting the cuda/pmu
See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939> for instructions.
Remember this happening on a few of our G5s a long time ago when we had
powerfailures. 
They would start up with fans roaring and no screen.
Hope it helps

FW: Corrupt files on Mac Pro

[Frank Salleo]

A message from Pat Scott

-- Forwarded Message
From: Bill Scott 
Reply-To: 
Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2011 15:23:26 +0800
To: Frank Salleo 
Subject: Corrupt files on Mac Pro

Hi, Frank,
I'm having trouble sending this letter to WAMUG - I need some advice
very urgently.  I tried sending it from Bill's PC laptop, but they won't
accept it from this unknown sender.  Would you forward it to them,
please? That would be much appreciated.

To WAMUG,
I'm having a very bad day.  It started by  not being able to access the
internet.  Had a long chat with iiNet and established there is nothing
wrong with our connection.

Second problem - in checking Mail accounts, I opened Keychain.  It gave
me the first 2 passwords with no argument, then suddenly, it demanded my
keychain password and refused to accept it.

So I tried using the iPad.  At first, it connected to both the internet
and Mail, but now it seems to have caught the infection, whatever it is,
and no longer will connect.  It puts up the message 'Incorrect username
or password'.

Then I got out an old Mac laptop that had been in retirement.  Exactly
the same thing happened - at first, it would connect with the internet,
and I began composing this letter.  Then things got strange again, and
it no longer connects.  I will transfer the letter to a text file and
transport it by Flash Disk to my husband's PC and try to sent it.

So the problem seems to originate with the 3-year old Intel Mac Pro,
dual 3.2GHz Quad Core, 16 GB RAM running OS 10.6.7.  I repaired
Permissions, but can't think of anything else useful to do.

Suggestions will be gratefully received!

Pat

Mail problems

[Frank Biundo]

Hello All

I am having a major problem with Mail.
All of a sudden it is asking for a password to the mail server which it
rejects every time so I am unable to receive or send.

Luckily my iPhone still pushes the emails to me through MobileMe

I have gone into Mail/Ppreferences/Accounts and reset the password with no
luck.

It is an IMAP account that has been working without problems for nearly 4
yrs.

I have checked the forums and tried Resetting the Pram, Repairing
Permissions, Verifying the Disk and deleting all references to this password
in Keychain.

If anyone has had a similar problem to this and has resolved it I would very
much like to know your solution.

Many Thanks

Frank

Re: G5 PPC Tower - Startup light flashing problem

[Frank Salleo]

Hi
I remember my G5 doing that when it went off during a power failure.
Resetting the power management (cuda switch) fixed it. The instructions are
at
 <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939>
This is a last resort and resets your hardware back to default values. If it
doesn't work it is normally a hardware fault.

Cheers

If you are referring to blank dvd's here are a few places that have them.
Stick to a known brand such as Verbatim, Imation etc.

Iphone purchase in the US

[Frank Biundo]

Hello All

My brother in Law is going to the US in a few days for a holiday and he was
wondering if he could buy an iPhone 4 over there outright and bring it back
here to use with his Telstra Sim Card.

I am not sure if they are locked to AT & T or if there are any other
restrictions to him using it over here.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Laser Printer

[Frank Biundo]

Hello All

Is anyone using a Colour Laser Printer that you may recommend, with or
without scanning capabilities,that works with Snow Leopard and has good page
output for the cost of the toners / drum.

My current HP 2840 costs me about $650.00 for a set of toners and a drum
every 4500 pages or so and that is non genuine toners as well.

There must be something cheaper than this surely, I hope.


Thanks

Can anyone please tell me how I can import the Firefox Bookmarks from one

I used Migration assistant to transfer everything across but the bookmarks
did not work.

The original machine is running Leopard and the new one is on Snow leopard.
Safari synced trough Mobileme but I would also like Firefox because of some
other different bookmarks in it.

Did a Spotlight search but no luck.

Re: Upgrade to Leopard printing problems

[Frank Salleo]

Hi
I could not get mine working either. We have 3x R230 printers. Printing
on paper is fine. Won't work on Cds. I tried drivers from the epson UK and
US sites with no luck. It is the epson Print CD program that wouldn't work.

Have resorted to using Disc Cover 2 RE which comes with Toast Titanium and
the Leopard r230 printer driver. Works from Toast ver 7 to 9. Although on
one imac it would only work with ver 8.

Bigpond ISP

[Frank Biundo]

Hello Wamugers

I was wondering if anyone is with Bigpond and can tell me how they are with
their service and support especially for Mac users.

I have regularly been hounded by Telstra over the years to go back to them
with my broadband and home phone but they have never been competitive until
now. The deal they are offering me now will save me about $40.00 a month
with unlimited free local calls.

Thanks in Advance.

Any suggestions on where the best place to get them is?

Re: Digital camera advice

[Frank Biundo]

Hi Tony

I would recommend the Canon G9. An amazing point and shoot camera with many
features.
You should be able to get it for $600. It has a 12 Megapixel sensor, 6x
optical zoom, large 3" LCD screen, optical image stabilizer,advanced image
presets and can shoot in RAW as well as JPEG.

I take photos for a living using large heavy DSLR's.
I have been looking for a small point and shoot for holidays and general
photos but still want good quality shots. The G9 is the best I have found
under $1000. I don't have one yet but have tested one at a retail outlet.

While I am photoshoping I listen to a number of different photography
podcasts and the G9 gets a lot of favourable mentions.

Happy shooting.

Cheers

Frank

Speech recognition

[Frank]

Has anyone any experience of iListen or any other speech recognition
software.

The distributors don't appear very user friendly as they wont give me a demo
or lend me the software to try. They expect me to take it on trust.

Is ViaVoice ported to OS 10.4 yet or likely to be?

Voice Perfect was very impressive, but only works on PCs

Any comments or suggestions?

Re: Unlocking a different account in Users

[Frank Salleo]

Hi David
One way around this is to use the drop box in
HardDisc/Users/name/public/dropbox. ie you can put a copy of your files into
his area but only he can see them.

This Drop Box folder has the permissions set so that anyone can copy (write
only) files to it. You then have to log in as the other user to get them
out.

The point is to keep files secure.

Cheers
Frank

Signatures in Mail.

[Frank Biundo]

Hi WAMUGers

I am wondering if anyone can help me with signatures in Mail.
Up until now I have had a signature in mail with comprised of text and a
logo in the form of a GIF image.
The company that I am working for now want the static GIF image replaced
with an animated logo that has been provided to me in the form of a html
file.

This came with the following instructions for windoze users
³Save the HTML Attachment on to your PC and then to set up Outlook just go
to: Tools > Options > Mail Format > Stationary Picker > and use the file as
a Template.²

I have tried substituting the GIF for with the html but only get the
background image without the animated wording.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Re: 10.4.2 and Windows security

[Frank Salleo]

We had this problem when we went to 10.4. Apple changed to encrypted
passwords. Many windows systems use plaintext passwords. Explanation and fix
from Apple Knowledge Base below. Works for us.
Cheers
Frank



Mac OS X 10.4: Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Windows server
Mac OS X 10.4: Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Samba or
Windows server

After upgrading from Mac OS X 10.3.x to Mac OS X 10.4, you may get an error
message when you try to connect to a Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server. A
Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server includes servers operating on Microsoft
Windows and other operating systems that use Samba for SMB/CIFS services.

If the connection is unsuccessful, the following error message may appear:

The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in
smb:// could not be read or written. (Error code -36).

If you check the Console (/Applications/Utilities/), you will also see this
error message:

mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed

This error can occur if your Mac OS X 10.4 client is trying to connect to a
Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server that only supports plain text passwords.
If you do not see the above message in the Console, you are not experiencing
this issue and should try normal troubleshooting to isolate the source of
the issue.

Unlike Mac OS X 10.3, the Mac OS X 10.4 SMB/CIFS client by default only
supports encrypted passwords. Most modern Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS)
servers use encrypted passwords by default, while some Samba servers might
have to be reconfigured.

You should consider contacting the owner or system administrator of the
Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server to which you are trying to connect and
encourage them to disable plain text passwords and start using encrypted
ones. If the server cannot be reconfigured to support encrypted passwords,
you can configure Mac OS X 10.4 SMB/CIFS client to send plain text
passwords.

Warning: If you configure your computer to allow connections to Samba or
Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers using plain text passwords, when you attempt to
make any connection to such a Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server, your
password will be sent "in the clear". This means that it is possible for
someone who is monitoring your connection to see your password. This could
lead to someone compromising the Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server. We
strongly recommend that you configure your Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS)
servers to exclusively use encrypted passwords.

Follow the steps below to configure your computer to use plain text
passwords to make SMB/CIFS connections when the specified Samba or Windows
(SMB/CIFS) server does not support encrypted passwords. (You must be an
administrator to do these steps.)

   1. Make sure that you are not currently connected to any Samba or Windows
(SMB/CIFS) servers and that you do not have any Samba or Windows-related
error messages open.
   2. Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
   3. At the prompt, type: sudo pico /etc/nsmb.conf
   4. Press Return.
   5. Enter your password when prompted, then press Return again.
   6. You should see an empty file and a "New File" notice at the bottom of
the pico window. If you do not see the "New File" notice, this file already
exists.
   7. Enter the following into the file so that it appears as follows:

[default]
minauth=none



   8. Save the file (press Control-O), press Return, then exit pico
(Control-X).
   9. Type: sudo chmod a+r /etc/nsmb.conf
  10. Press Return.
  11. Restart your computer.

software for heritage Macs

[Frank Smith]

My (adult) daughter has been given an old Mac with OS 7.5 and 
Netscape 4. She has only 40Mb of RAM. Is there a cheap or free 
browser which would allow her to access hotmail or another free email 
and to do some reasonable Internet browsing?


She only has a slow dial up connection so needs something fairly 
lightweight and as she is a Mac newby - easy to use.


Thanks in advance

Hi guys,


Can you guys please help?  Is there a step by step instruction on how 
to do this process under OS 10.3?  I really don't want to have to go 
through the huge process of reloading OS 10.3 on my new hard drive. If 
I could simply copy my present hard drive over to it that would be 
optimal.


Thanks for your help guys,


Hi
I have changed from carbon copy cloner to using Apple's Disk Utility.
Since 10.3 the cloning ability is built in and called restore.
You can do it direct to the new hard disc (in an external case.)
If you can't mount both discs you can go through an intermediate stage 
with an image file on another machine or disk.


I have been successful in swapping drives on our server with about 80 
users. Keeps all settings and privs intact.

Seems to be a bit faster and more reliable than Carbon copy cloner

Re: 5300 battery

No, I don't work for them but am a very satisfied customer.

Using iChat AV over personal ADSL in Oz

Hi all

I have downloaded and installed iChat AV on a G4 iMac/800 running Mac 
OS 10.2.6. Audio conferencing works fine and video conferencing works 
fine over Rendevous, but not over the net. Given that my personal 
level ADSL broadband connection is a 256/64, could it be that the

another problem?

Any ideas or something I should have tried that I have over-looked.

Re: OSX install woes

[Frank Salleo]

Bill
You are lucky it still starts up. Before you do any thing else. Start 
up from system 9 and do the firmware update that is on the OSX disc.

I'll repeat that.
Before you do any thing else. Start up from system 9 and do the 
firmware update that is on the OSX disc.


We have had two imacs that staff have upgraded without doing the 
firmware update that will not boot up at all. The unis and repair shops 
will tell you horror stories about new motherboards to fix this, or 
swapping hard discs and motherboards with other imacs.

look at the apple web site and at the wamug archives for more info.
I could not get any of our imacs to startup after the first time they 
booted into 10.2 the light comes on for about 10 secs and then goes 
off. We tried pram resets, swapping hds and motherboards. Could not get 
it to start.
This is poorly documented at apple. Just tells you to do the firmware 
update before you install 10.2.
The 10.2 installation checks for the firmware updates on all macs 
except for crt imacs. The readme on the discs tell you to do the 
firmware update, but how many of us actually read this.

Frank

iMac 333 (tray loading) 160Mb 6 Gb system 10.2.1

I recently went all out and bought a copy of OSX but struck a problem.

On boot, the machine hangs with a text screen which reads:

Apple iMac open firmware 3.0 f10 built on 03/05/99 at 21.14.19

I typed   and hey presto, OSX launches and runs normally.

My question is.. how do I get it to jump past the command line stuff?

Attempted solutions;
1. erased disk and reinstalled from scratch
2. downloaded firmware update 1.2
could not install firmware update. Requires system 9.2 (classic)
which doesn't come with OSX (I am updating from 8.5)
3. searched apple support site for info but gave up after half an hour

Any ideas?

Re: DVD

[Frank Salleo]

10.2.5 fixes the problem ie the files are visible and dvd player opens 
them.

It was only a problem with 10.2 to 10.2.4
time to upgrade? I haven' had any problems with the upgrade.

That's obvious.

But if you go into the terminal, then login as root, then do a find

grep for the right file, then change the permissions, then change the
owner and make a tmp file called ZXfcBqf01, it will all work.

And I thought that Macs were supposed to be intuitive, I could have
guessed that 'Open Video_TS' would have solved the whole problem.

For those humor impaired listeners, I'm making a joke and a point -
being that we as developers need to seriously take a long hard look at
ourselves and the expectations we have of our end-users.

Now I'll go away and enjoy a nice red wine while overlooking the

Re: DVD

[Frank Salleo]

If it is not a commercial DVD, it may have the wrong file permissions. 
10.2.5 fixed this.
Or you can use the command line to copy the files to your HD, change 
the permissions to read or read/ write and rewrite the a new DVD giving 
it the same disc name. This has worked for me.

Hi

[Frank Jones]

[Hi... Is there anyone out there who's used/setup dialup connections 
in the UK while travelling ?]


Sorry to use your direct email, BUT. I'm rather
stuck. I have been trying to find a ISP to use in the
UK and the Channel Islands for a iBook laptop (OSX,
640ram, 20gig) etc And although I have found BT
and Demon I have no idea how to organise it from this
end, (Australia). Running out of time as the person
that will be using it is leaving for UK on Friday.

Is it possible to sign up and get everything working
from here? The person using the iBook is computer
illiterate, and will not be able to do it for them
selves there.

I have been told by a friend that WAMUG has members
that travel in UK and use ISPs there.

You help would be greatly appreciated.

Fwd: DVD problem with data

[Frank Salleo]

HI all
Just to let you know the outcome.
DVDs written using discburner in 10.2.3 can't be read on windows.
As far as we can tell the format looks the same as DVDs written and 
readable on the pc.
Writing the DVDs with toast 5.2 makes them windows readable.( and is 
about 2X faster than apples discburner)

Thanks for the useful tips.
Frank

Begin forwarded message:



Thanks, Wamuggers, especially Rod, Shay and Mark Secker, for the 
helpful

suggestions. The problem is resolved, and the PC is happily reading
DVDs made on a Mac.

Cheers,
Pat

If it's HFS+ format the disc won't be readable on a PC unless it's
got Mac disk reading software installed.

Re: Spam Newsletter

[Frank Smith]

Hi all
I'm sorry it has come to legal action. The only people who benefit are 
lawyers.

I've had occasional emails from Wayne Mansfield and attended one of his 
seminars. I have to say that in my experience as spammers go he is one of 
the least intrusive and his seminar was not a rip off.

We all send unsolicited emails, like we used to send unsolicited letters 
or make cold phone calls. It's part of business. What is objectionable to 
me is when they continue after we have asked them to stop or when they 
include large and useless attachments, especially graphics.

Also when people perpetuate viruses or virus scares,

Frank

Hi Martin
I was interested in your WAMug posting as I need a replacement for

However I was put off by a very slow website http://www.runrev.com/ - 
ponderous scrolling - designed for afficionados and by the 8.6Mb download 
for a trial version.

Do you know of any source of hardcopy description/manuals or if it 
possible to get a trial and final version on a CD ROM?

It's not the first time I've been put off making a purchase from a 
website because of horrendous communication. Jargon is fine when you know 
it, but it excludes those who don't,

Network stream error

** Couldn¹t complete the last command because a network stream error occurred.

When I retry I always get to collect my mail. But this means I have to access 
my email manually. The reason I stay with Claris emailer is it's abilityto 
schedule. I get around the network stream error problem by scheduling two early 
morning access to my mailbox close together. One sends mail and the other (ten 
minutes later) gets it.

I suspect the problem is caused by incompatibility with my ISP (Nerdnet) but

Re: Scanning tables to editable text

[Frank Smith]

Hi 
Omni page is fairly successful at reading tables, producing figures 
separated by tabs, which Word can turn back into tables. However it will 
need some manual editing as Omnipage may mistake a cell border for a "1" 
and sometimes puts tabs in the wrong place or not at all and spaces after 
decimal points. Like most OCR it depends on the quality of the original 
copy and if it's on coloured paper forget it,

Stack space

[Frank Smith]

Hi all 

Here's a problem that's got me beaten

When I try to debug a word basic macro in Word 6 I keep getting this 
message: 

Out of memory (stack space). 

There's already 12Mb minimum 16Mb preferred RAM alocated to Word with 
virtual memory off and increasing it further makes no difference. There's 
no referenc eto stack space in any Apple or Word help files that I can 
find.

The problem only arose when I upgraded from OS 8 to 8.6. My machine is a 
Power Mac 7220/200.

Converting the macro to visual basic doesn't work because the way visual 
basic handles tables is different so conversion would require a total 
rewrite.

At present the only option I can suggest is running word 6 under OS 8.

Any ideas?
