1st Chiko Roll was 1951.

1964 pre-dates ubiquitous air-con too. That's why cars had roll down windows.

[Glenn Cardwell]

Dear generous advisorsI have a word doc with pages in both portrait (text) and landscape (tables). If, when I go to print, I click on "save to pdf", only the portrait pages are converted, not the landscape.I have searched on-line for an answer but it appears the solution is to buy a pdf converter program. Although happy to buy software, I rarely have portrait and landscape in the same doc and would prefer to find a simple answer. Otherwise will purchase software as recommended.Word 12.2.7Macbook Pro 17" running 10.6.4Thanks

Re: Samsung CLP-315

Daniel got the correct nuance. It is a Brother HL 5040. Never considered an 
upgrade because it has never skipped a beat. Still got the colour printer 
Daniel recommended (Epsom stylus R210) and the external back-up hard I bought 
from him. Everything the man says I need continues to work fine.

Just imagine if Daniel went into recommending cars or stereo equipment. Hey, 
get him to choose your next partner

Re: Macspeech dictate

[Glenn Cardwell]

After email discussions with MacSpeech Dictate support and then Plantronics 
support when it became clear that the headset USB connector was at fault, 
Plantronics in the US agreed on Thursday 29 July that they would send a 
replacement unit. It arrived this morning. Less than two working days. 

To find that, in 2010, some support desks actually work and respond 
immediately. 

Frankly, stunned. Pleased, but stunned.

Macspeech dictate

[Glenn Cardwell]

I purchased this voice recognition software in Feb 2010.

Now tells me that: "This profile's microphone is missing". 

I use the headset that came with the software. The microphone is identified as 
C-media USB audio device. The headset is plugged in as normal. A restart 
delivers the same message.

Have gone to system preferences > speech recognition > settings > line in as 
well as sound > input > line in

Sounds like a failure somewhere as nothing has changed since it was operative.

Any tips gratefully received.

You transfer the music direct to your computer by USB. I am assuming  
your model is much the same as mine.


I have so far only done a test transfer of one record. The software  
you will be provided with is Audacity which I think is rather good  
but you should download the latest version as the one provided will  
probably be quite old. That app is all you will need I think. It is  
a bit tricky setting up but once you do all is good. You can export  
the download music from your records to iTunes and then burn or  
play. The software help is quite good. I presume there are other  
apps and no doubt someone will say so but I don't know of any.

Turntable

[Glenn Cardwell]

Buenos dias

I'm considering purchasing an Akai USB turntable ATT 023U.

The promotion states:
Direct recording function
This enables users to record their vinyl music directly to a USB hard  
drive – without using a PC.


USB output
This provides users with a simple way to record and archive any record  
collection, via their PC or Mac.


Question:
Has anyone had experience with playing and converting their vinyl  
records to digital via a USB turntable?
This sounds simple. I'm presuming that it converts to mp3  
automatically. Really new to me, so I'm not sure. Anything I should be  
wary of?


Thanks for any help or reassurance offered.

Glenn

Re: MacBook Pro Battery Warning (finished one)

[Glenn Cardwell]

Thanks for scaring the pants off me Travis. Purchased same at same time.

Can you please describe where you found the bulge? Can't find a  
problem with mine.


Then I read the rest of your email! I deny taking the battery out for  
inspection. Can they prove I did? Where is the sign that says  
"Warranty void if removed"? Is the bulge visible when battery installed.

Sorry, clicked send instead of Save.

Thought I would share this as it might help someone else:

I have a MacBook Pro (17") which will turn 2 years old in April. About
a month ago it started to randomly shutdown - and I mean like instant
shutdown, no warning! After some googling, I discovered it's a common
problem with this model's battery, and that it's also prone to
"battery bulging". So I took the battery out for inspection and sure
enough it had begun bulge. Further research (as mentioned previously
on WAMUG) led me to Apple's article extending the warranty from 1 to 2
years for MBP battery bought up to April 2007 (mine just scrapes in).

So I took the battery to an Apple service centre on Scarb Beach Rd,
and Apple came back and said that if the battery if removed then the
customer has to purchase a new battery!

WHAT THE? It's a laptop, you're aloud to remove them.

So I phoned Apple and finally got through to Customer Relations to ask
"what the?". They said Apple has changed their policy but in "good
will" we'll send you a new battery for free.

I now have it safely in my Laptop. So if your new battery request gets
knocked back, don't give up.

cheers

My first ever use of the wamug group and I stuff up. This was an  
old message (yesterday) I had drafted and since then I found out  
more from the wamug website.


However, there is still a problem:

The podcast in Garageband (v4.1.2) was sent to my iTunes (8.0.1).  
The original version was 3.4 MB. When I get iTunes to convert to a  
mp3 files, the size increases to 8.1MB. As I want to upload this to  
Hipcast as a podcast (and later to iTunes), my gut feel is that the  
size is too big.


The bit rate has changed from 64 kbps to 192 kbps in the  
conversion. Is that the reason for the increase in size?


Yes, a higher bitrate creates a larger size file.
If you want to change the bitrate in iTunes:
1. Choose iTunes > Preferences - General and click Import Settings.

2. Choose an encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu (you select  
MP3)


3. Choose a bit rate from the Setting pop-up menu (you select custom)
Then under the Stereo Bitrate select a lower Bitrate

4. Click OK.

5. Select your track in iTunes then choose Advanced > "Create MP3  
Version"


Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a typical bit rate for a  
podcast, as they vary greatly from as low as 32 kbps up to around  
128 kbps.
As a rough guide to the use of different bit rates however, the  
following may be helpful:


320 kbps - Virtually indistinguishable from original CDs
128 kbps - Typical for musical MP3s and quality podcasts
64 kbps - Common bit rate for speech podcasts
48 kbps - Reasonably common for longer speech podcasts
32 kbps - Poor, usually used to reduce download times

Listen For Yourself:

<http://www.siliconbay.co.uk/services/64kbps.mp3>
<http://www.siliconbay.co.uk/services/32kbps.mp3>


Is there a smarter way to do this?


I think you can direct Export to MP3 format in GarageBand v4.1.2

The Podcasters on WAMUG can probably give you more advice on  
Podcasting.

there doesn't appear to be one with iTunes 8 (8.0.1).

Re: podcast with garageband

[Glenn Cardwell]

My first ever use of the wamug group and I stuff up. This was an old  
message (yesterday) I had drafted and since then I found out more from  
the wamug website.


However, there is still a problem:

The podcast in Garageband (v4.1.2) was sent to my iTunes (8.0.1). The  
original version was 3.4 MB. When I get iTunes to convert to a mp3  
files, the size increases to 8.1MB. As I want to upload this to  
Hipcast as a podcast (and later to iTunes), my gut feel is that the  
size is too big.


The bit rate has changed from 64 kbps to 192 kbps in the conversion.  
Is that the reason for the increase in size?


Is there a smarter way to do this?

Thanks again

Glenn
