Re: [WAMUG] October General Meeting - email saving

[Marcus F Harris via WAMUG]

Thanks Neil,
That’s a very good idea.
I have accumulated too many emails-mostly of no further interest and would be 
happy to delete in bulk except for those that I must keep.
Thanks again
Marcus

Re: [WAMUG} New M1 Mac Mini - read this before buying

[Marcus F Harris]

Hey Stephen, Interesting that you’ve been looking at Mac sites beyond our 
shores.
I have found many influencers trying to spruik issues with Macs on Youtube.
Anyway, I bought the Mac Mini M1 in December and it’s the first desktop since 
my 2007 iMac 27.
The issues reported in that macoclock report are real, ,especially if one has 
two Bluetooth devices interactive with M1.
However, I searched the official Apple forum and there were a host of users 
asking how to fix it., well at least work around it. The “it” being the erratic 
behaviour of Apple Magic Mouse and and also the third party Bluetooth keyboard.
Anyway, the latest. forum suggestion was to turn off FileVault in security 
preferences.
Bingo- No further issues with Magic Mouse.
I use iCloud and a backup hard drive for important files so it’s not an issue 
for me to turn off FileVault. I can see it may well be for others.
The Bluetooth keyboard has two Bluetooth Channels and one is always stable 
while the other is not.
So, I’m able to report that M1 is indeed a brilliant Mac and I will be saying 
good bye to my 2007 iMac 27 as it’s so very slow and can’t cope with many apps 
open at one time.
M1 doesn’t have enough ports for peripherals but third party hubs seem 
inexpensive. I’ll likely buy a genuine Apple Bluetooth keyboard as well very 
soon.

Cheers
Marcus

Re: Apple TV wifi connection

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi, I just read this thread because I can’t get my older Apple TV to “connect 
to the server”.
When I start it up and try to access content, it recognises my Apple ID but 
refuses the valid ppassword.
However I get a text from Apple stating that “a device needs a second level 
passcode with 6 numbers
I tried re-entering the password adding on the 6 numbers. No advance.
I went back to the iMac nd it didn’t recognise the ATV, neither did my iPhone 
5s.
There never was aproblem like this.
Anyway, I’m wondering whether I should persevere OR chuck it out and buy a new 
ATV4?
What do you recommend?
cheers

Thanks for the response. And Sorry Ronni.

What Next after Reset my iMac with Sierra, basic Apps and iCloud Drive

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi, After a long WAMUG correspondence trying to fix an issue with Notification 
Centre which did not work after the upgrade to Sierra from El Capitan, I erased 
my iMac 27 HD with Disk Utility. 

Then I went away on holiday with my laptop and returned this week to my iMac 
27,which used to hold all my files.
The iMac 27 now operates well with Sierra OS 10.121.2 and with just the basic 
applications installed with thee reset.

However with the new setup every new file went straight to iCloud Drive.
  
I turned off iCloud Drive and there's a new Documents folder in Finder. That’s 
fine but I need to recover those backed up. 
ALSO, where is the iMac 27 HD disk image, I expected that to appear on the 
desktop?

Before I erased and restored with Sierra, I had backed up my files onto the 
Time Machine Drive, but I’m reluctant to transfer everything across entirely as 
the  old Notification Centre problem may be hidden in the backup!

So, I’m asking for guidance on what to transfer other than Document files.
 
The folders backed are MACINTOSH HD>
APPLICATIONS;
LIBRARY;
SYSTEM;
USERS>
subfolder ME
subfolders DESKTOP, DOCUMENTS, DOWNLOADS, DROPBOX, iCLOUD DRIVE(archive), 
MOVIES, MUSIC, PICTURES, PUBLIC and SHARED 

WRT APPLICATIONS, I will only re-instal those I know worked without issue.

Otherwise what do I really need to reinstall from the backup.

Happy New Year

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC

[Marcus F Harris]

> Hi Ronni,
Thanks again for your patience. I must admit I've run out of it now.
I tried to follow your latest advice wrt to Entrecheck.
I did update the apps where I could find updates. As for the plugins and 
extensions, going to "support " lead me into a maze. So I went into SAFARI and 
turned them off where ever I found them. NC is turned off.
All MAIL on the iMac is disconnected via preferences, so I'm writing this on my 
iPad.
Restart and the problem persists
Simply put NC is corrupt and erratically opening MAIL banners after several 
minutes. If I place the cursor anywhere near the RHS of the screen, the 
beachball starts spinning and screen freezes for 30 seconds.
If I had to guess what might be behind the corruption, I wonder if it's because 
I I removed an old version of MS Office, having decided to stick with Apple 
apps and LibreOffice.
I mustn't spend anymore time dissembling it Ronni. I'd like to delete the 
system and reinstall. 
Can you point me in the right direction to do this please.
With thanks

Fwd: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni Rob,
I've done what you suggested.
I've also deactivated all MAIL accounts through System Prefs Internet Accounts.
Unfortunately despite running Disk Doctor and restarting Notification Center NC 
remains incurable. And it's using 90% of the CPU.
So I then downloaded Sierra to a 1TB storage drive and ran with that. It's USB 
2 so very slow but no more issues with NC. I don't think my iMac has USB3.
Obviously I can't continue with this a the second slow boot drive for long.

Can you suggest a solution and a procedure such as wipe The Sierra system off 
my original boot drive with corrupted NC and reinstall or some way to just 
strip NC from that system?

Cheers again
Marcus

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Rob and Ronni,
I ran Disk Doctor on my WD Time Machine backup disc.
Although it’s overloaded it seems OK.
Here is the resulting test message.
DiskDoctor
Repairing file system.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking catalog hierarchy.
Checking extended attributes file.
Checking multi-linked directories.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume My TIME MACHINE appears to be OK.
File system check exit code is 0.
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
Operation successful.

Anyway I ejected the backup disc and disconnected it from the iMac. [I have 
ordered a 4TB Mac formatted WD backup disc. Meanwhile I will save important 
docs to thumbdrives.]

Activity Monitor read NC as using 0.1%CPU and it opened and closed correctly 
until I commenced using MAIL.
So, ten minutes later it’s doing it again. 90% CPU, 600MB Memory, but refusing 
to respond.
Ten minutes later, the MAIL alerts appear again.
I have turned off Safari and with no web browser running NC is non responsive.
It’s Gotta be MAIL thay’s causing this.
I have to delete most of my INBOX and maybe the ARCHIVE.
OR Should I uninstall MAIL and reinstall it?
How to do this efficiently is my new question?
Cheers
Marcus

Dear Ronni,
You have certainly given me a lot of great advice.
I'm going to follow it carefully, but it will take me a few days. 
I will report back when done.
Thanks so much

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC

[Marcus F Harris]

Oh Sorry about that Ronni and Peter.
Yes I tried a “Guest Account”  and no apparent issues with NC..It works fine, 
but there are no documents in that account. I added a little used Gmail account 
and that was OK, with all boxes ticked in NC prefs.

Back in my Principal Account, NC is stable until an Alert appears.
The first Alert is From Apps asking whether I want automatic download. This 
appears after 5 minutes.
The remaining MAIL alerts appear after 10 minutes.

I can’t close these alerts and the NC window is not able to be opened again.

I’m wondering if it’s MAIL that’s the problem. What do think about that?

I have 4000 emails in my iCloud Inbox and 5000 in Google Archive.

Pretty slack, I know.

Sure I would like to get rid of 90% of them. Is there a straightforward bulk 
removal process?

Thanks and sorry to bother you again.

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE

[Marcus F Harris]

Thanks Ronni,
I don’t wish to take up your time on this problem.
I used Activity Monitor and when I went back NC it faied again with “not 
responding” I repeated that so I can say it didn’t work
Then I went to Terminal and entered killall NotificationCenter as you suggested.
Nothing happened after I pressed “return” Or if it did there wasn’t a response 
from NC.
Maybe I have some Malware, but Sierra is working fine other than this NC 
problem.
Disk Doctor says AOK.
Should I try some other startup command?
Cheers and thanks

Hi Ronni,
Great but I’ve not attempted to work in terminal before.
I found the app and opened it.
the text “Marcus-F-Harris-iMac27:~ cryptodomus$ “.appears.
Do I then delete this and enter the instructions you sent “killall 
NotificationCenter” ?
Or do I open a new window?
Then what?
Hate to stuff up in terminal.

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni,
Thanks for your advice. Yes, Sierra otherwise operates just fine.
I pretty much know how NC works as I had no issues before with El Capitan.

I wouldn’t be concerned except when NC is functioning it reveals Mail alerts 
which cover the RHS of the screen and cannot be deleted. In fact if I point the 
mouse any where near the alerts, the system will freeze with the spinning wheel 
turning for up to 20 seconds.

I have turned all the NC alerts off  and that clears that up. As soon as I turn 
Mail back on the alerts reappear and block the screen.
Then I have to restart.

I have a lot of emails in iCloud as I’m uncertain how to delete them en masse 
so maybe that’s an issue

Is it possible to reset NC somehow?
Cheers

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi,
I’m still trying to resolve this corruption of (NC) Notification Centre.
NC operated well with El Capitan but is problematic with Sierra.

I think it is due to interference between Google and Apple mail accounts. 
I have tried turning them on and off alternately and the freezing of NC arises 
when email notices present to be either closed or replied to.
If I try either of those options, nothing happens and the NC freezes for up to 
20 seconds. 
As long as these email notices don’t appear I can switch on NC.

BY THE WAY the email notices that appear are all from my gmail account.

I’m going to turn off gmail completely and access them from the website and see 
if that makes a difference.
If you have any other ideas, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks Peter and Ronni,
I have an apple Bluetooth mouse only.
I have two gmail accounts and one iCloud account.
I will try turning off the gmail accounts and see if that helps.
Let you know ASAP.

ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE

[Marcus F Harris]

Someone else may have problems with the Notification Centre since installing 
Sierra and had feedback that I missed.

Notifications appear as before on the RHS of the screen. These are mostly MAIL 
notifications.

Before installing Sierra with El Capitan all my apps worked well.

Now Notifications will not respond to mouse clicks and the system freezes for 
up to 15 seconds before responding.

I have tried disk doctor and looking for a solution in System prefs, but I’m 
stumped.

Any advice gratefully received

Fwd: Resetting wifi password on iPd Mini

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni again,
Just to let you know that the keychain didn’t reveal the password for the wifi, 
probably because the router/wifi is an Asus.
Anyway, a colleague was able to tell me how to get into the Asus from the iMac, 
whereupon I found the password and all is now ok
Maybe for future reference for a WAMUG user,
Asus Router/Wifi
192.168.1.1
ID admin
PW admin
wireless page reveals all including password for the wifi
cheers

Re: Resetting wifi password on iPd Mini

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni
My friend has an iMac and an iPad mini, so I suppose she has an Apple Wireless 
Network.
However her router/wifi is another make so I will check that out later today.
I’ll try to recover her password from the keychain first of all.
If that doesn’t work I guess I’ll have to work out how to get into her 
router/wifi.
I’ll let you know.
Thanks very much

Resetting wifi password on iPd Mini

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi,
I’m sure this will have been addressed somewhere in the past, but please point 
me to a solution.

A senior citizen friend has reset her iPad Mini in an attempt to solve a 
problem transferring photos on it to her iMac running Maverick OS.
That problem prior to reset was a message -“Unable to transfer to Photo as the 
device is locked” Her 4 digit password wouldn’t unlock that and the message 
kept repeating. Can I come back to that problem later because—

As a result of resetting her iPad Mini, the wifi needs reconnecting, but she’s 
forgotten her password.
We tried all her passwords, then the codes on the back of the router/modem 
without success.

Is the only solution to access the router and reset the passord, or is there a 
simpler workaround?
If I have to reset her modem is that straitforward?

BY THE WAY I don’t think her iPad Mini is right up to date but has iOS 9 
something.

Thanks

Re: Update

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Re iOS9.3
Well well, today the update loaded onto our iPhone 5s devices in less than 30 
minutes and they seem to be running trouble free.
Just thought you might like to know, since the update didn’t work until today

Re: Update

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi,
One of my iPhones a 5S with iOS 9.2.1 has messaged that iOS9.3 is downloaded 
ready to install.
I tried to install but the message is “Unable to Verify Update”…not connected 
to the internet.
Well I am connected!
The other identical phone belonging to my wife, does not have this update 
messge.
When I tried to download and install using iTunes 12.3.3 on my iMac, the info 
is that these phones are up to date with iOS 9.2.1..No sign of iOS 9.3 being 
available.
Does this mean that Apple has withdrawn the update from their server?

Cheers
Marcus

Admin password Unknown

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi. 
I purchased an early model MacBook Pro.
I stupidly set an admin password then my atrophied brain promptly forgot it.
Is there a neat solution to recovering the password. I checked the apple forum, 
but the only listed solution applies to early OS X versions.
This MacBook has EL CAPITAN installed.
Hope you can help

Upgrade from OSX10.6

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi, my friend needs to upgrade his early model iMac from the current OSX10.6 It 
seems he has to purchase an upgrade from Apple. 

The question I have is can he skip Lion OS10.7 and purchase Mountain Lion 
OS10.8. They are both available to download and are each the same price $30.99

Re: Upgrade from OSX10.6

[Marcus F Harris]

Thank you Ronni.. I had written to WAMUG before on this so maybe I should have 
repeated it in full. 
My friend's iMac has Snow Leopard installed.
Any way I'm keen to follow what you have written here and I'll let you know 
what occurs.
My best wishes
Marcus

OSX10.7- Lion Instal Disk

[Marcus F Harris]

I have a friend who inherited an earlier model intel dual core iMac with 2GB 
RAM and 500GB Hard Drive.
He went and brought a Brother laser printer and then discoverd it needs at 
least OSX10.7 to relate to the iMac.
His iMac had OSX10.5. 
I managed to find old discs to upgrade as far as Snow Leopard OSX10.6.8 hoping 
there would be a downloadable upgrade to OSX10.7. 
No such luck.
It seems that the only solution is to get a Lion OSX10.7 instal disc.
Does any one in the inner Perth area have one we could borrow.

Cheers
Marcus

I used iTunes and it was straightforward. Mind you it took 80 minutes on an 
ADSL Broadband line. As we have 2 iPhones each 5s I only downloaded  to begin 
with.
Then I could instal to both phones from the same download.

These continual updates are a pain especially as iPhone and iPad updates seem 
to require separate downloads for what is stated as the same update.
Cheers
Marcus Harris

Re: SAVING TO DROPBOX (TM)

[Marcus F Harris]

Thank You Neil.  What you have told me is most useful.

I think the confusion may be that I purchased “Dropbox” US$99 pa, which I have 
been using to store many Gigabytes of files and photos.

I was stupidly not thinking about copying from documents by holding down 
“option” key and that reminder helped me greatly.

Whether or not this is substantially different from the OSX Dropbox I don’t yet 
know.

But I do know that for me it is a very useful app.

Re: SAVING TO DROPBOX (TM)

[Marcus F Harris]

Thank you Neil and Steven,
I'm wondering if you are referring to OSX Dropbox rather than the App Drop Box. 
I have the impression that the purchased Drop Box (Trade Marked) does sync 
files across platforms. But I would then have to start working my files 
exclusively in Drop Box. Hadn't thought of that. Good idea if I remembered to 
copy back to Documents. At 72 I'm a bit forgetful.

I've chosen to copy my files to Drop Box to have them off-site from my home. 
That's because  my time machine disc drive is cabled directly to my iMac and 
any misfortune to both  together on my desk would be most unfortunate.
Thanks again for reminding me to hold down option key to copy then paste.
Regards
Marcus

SAVING TO DROPBOX (TM)

[Marcus F Harris]

I have a Dropbox (tm) account. Version 3.12.5
My questions to WAMUG for help are
Why does “drop and drag” of files from Documents to Drop Box actually move that 
file rather than copy it?
Is there a keyboard command to avoid this?

ARCHIVING MAIL

[Marcus F Harris]

I have to clean out my mail box in which I accumulated thousands of emails.
I would prefer to archive them as some are useful records.

I used the  “Export Mail” process and that produced a folder INBOX.mbox. It’s 
2.8Gb
However, I can’t see how the contents —info.plist;mbox and table of contents 
will regenerate a full set of email messages. 

I tried re-opening the mbox with Text Edit, but it was garbage.

Am I missing something obvious or should I just buy “mailSTEWARD” ?

iPhone issues

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi,
Since updating to my iPhone 5s to 9.1, I have had issues with Telstra mobile.
(1)An incoming call stops and goes to missed call after 2 rings.
(2)I can receive text messages from a colleague’s iPhone, BUT she is unable to 
receive my replies. She has Version 9.1 as well. I copy the replies to her 
husband’s Experia and he receives them ok.

Can any one give me solutions whereby I can configure the iPhones wiithout 
having to front Telstra or Apple?
Thanks

 As a member of the WAMUG committee and a former president, I think I can 
 speak on Maureen’s behalf. I’m afraid the days of recording meetings are 
 gone, without someone who has the time and resources to make it happen. We 
 have a tiny committee of people with full-time jobs. We have a big-enough 
 task just coming up with the topics each month to present to the dedicated 
 few who are able to turn up to the meetings.

 The winter solstice has passed and we can now look forward to the  balmier 
 nights and days of Spring. According to my iPhone weather app, Tuesday will 
 be partly cloudy with a maximum of 18  a mimimum,of 7. With no predicted 
 rain, hail or snow, hopefully you will be able to make it to our monthly

 This month is ”PDF month” with our topics chosen ‘just because’. We will be 
 looking at Flip PDF - changing your PDF documents into stunning booklets. 
 Could be just the thing to save your child’s art work rather than cluttering 
 up the fridge. We will also examine PDF to Keynote for mac - if you want to 
 have the said art work as a keynote presentation to run in the background at 
 their 21st - and we will have quick look at using Preview to make memes.
 
 There will be a few other tips  tricks to be shown - some you may know some 
 hopefully new,
 
 Looking forward to seeing as many as you as possible .

 iCloud has very good SPAM/junk mail filters in place on their server which 
 stops SPAM before it gets to your Inbox.
  
 You can use the Mail app to mark messages as junk so that later messages from 
 the same sender are automatically marked as junk:
 In iOS 7 or later, open the message, tap the flag icon at the bottom (top iOS 
 8.2), then tap Move to Junk.
 In OS X, select the message and click the Junk (thumbs down) icon in the Mail 
 toolbar.
 At iCloud.com, select the message, then click the flag icon and choose Move 
 to Junk. Or just drag the message to the Junk folder in the sidebar. The 
 message is then automatically reported to iCloud as junk mail.

 Ronni

 Hello Everyone,
 
 I haven't sent out any mass emails and while our desktop sends the spam to 
 junk, this does't happen on the iPhone or iPad and I don't know of any way 
 of separating junk on them. Perhaps the only remedy is to close those 
 accounts for now,and put up with the nuisance.

 Hi Marcus and others,
 
 Unless you are sending a group email to a number of people that need to 
 know who is being sent this email - example work project that all the 
 recipients are all involved in - or a group family email or similar perhaps 
 ok to CC
 
 Otherwise you should use the BCC field.
 Two main reasons why you should use BCC
 
 Privacy: we certainly wouldn't write the phone numbers of our friends, work 
 colleagues or family members in public places, so why would we do it with 
 their email addresses? These are also personal information and it's a 
 matter of respect for their privacy to keep this information to ourselves, 
 instead of spreading it around the internet, making it accessible to 
 strangers (who may eventually spread it to even more strangers).
 Spam  Viruses: we don't know which hands the email addresses will end up 
 in if we send them to our contacts - they may end up in the hands of 
 spammers, for instance, or added to lists containing hundreds of thousands 
 of email addresses, which are then sold on the black market. The result is 
 that the recipients of the original message will start getting more and 
 more spam, wasting their time and maybe even some important emails in the 
 middle of all the junk-mail. Additionally, if the computer of one of our 
 recipients is infected with a virus, it can collect all the addresses 
 available in the message and send a copy of itself to each one address in 
 an attempt to spread itself to other computers, or may simply collect the 
 addresses to aggregate them in one of the lists I mentioned above, that 
 spammers love to buy.
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Lost 'notes' in iCloud

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni and Tim.
Some time ago Ronni recommended Evernote as I can't get Notes to sync across 
Maverick and iOS7 or 8. Evernote is really excellent as it does far more than 
just take notes and syncs rapidly and seamlessly.
Thanks Ronni I'll never use Notes again now!

 Hi Tim,
 
 Are Notes still in Notes on your Mac mini?
 Notes are already stored in the Cloud as is - purchased music, TV shows, 
 Movies, apps and books, plus your contacts, calendars, reminders, email, 
 notes, bookmarks,  any documents handled by iCloud Drive (or documents 
 in the Cloud).
 
 iCloud Backup covers the following: 
  * The Photos  videos you've taken on your iOS device-located in 
 Camera Roll unless you've enabled iCloud Photo Library, in which case 
 they’re in All Photos
 * Photo albums you’ve created on the iOS device (but not those 
 synced from your computer, because they’re already “backed up” on that 
 computer)
* Documents and settings for all your apps
* All account data and iOS settings (including those configured in 
 the Settings app, and your app and folder organisation)
* Conversations in the Messages app (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
* Ringtones 
 
 If you have been backing up to iCloud over Wi-Fi,  it would have backed 
 up a few times since you noticed this problem with Notes missing.
 Restore from a Backup is ONLY an All-or-Nothing affair: you must 
 Restore ALL your data from a backup-you can't restore just your notes. 
 And you first have to Erase All Content  Settings on your iPhone to 
 Factory Fresh before you can Restore from iCloud Backup (just as you 
 do when setting up a new iPhone).
  
 Your Notes I feel should still be on the Server in the Cloud and be able 
 to download?
 Tim, on your iPhone: Settings  Notes  Tap Default Account - is your 
 @icloud.com ticked?
 
 I'm hesitating whether to suggest this, but I think it is worth a try.
 On your iPhone  
 1. Go to Settings  iCloud  Turn Notes OFF then ON
 2. Then Tap the Notes App  Accounts - All Notes
 
 See if your all your Notes Appear. It might take a few moments before 
 they appear.

 I don't think you understand how virtual memory works. Technical computer 
 users consider memory optimisers snakeoil and have for years. 
 Read first about virtual memory. Then read some articles about why purging 
 inactive RAM is useless and harmful to computer performance. 
 
 https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/ManagingMemory/Articles/AboutMemory.html
 
 If it makes you feel better to see all that green free RAM that is fine by 
 me, but thinking this is necessary ignores the technical reality of this kind 
 of software...
 -
 /Begin Quote:
 Having a low levels of free RAM will not harm your system at all, and will 
 only reduce its capacity to open more items. However, if you are regularly 
 running low on memory, even though programs like purge may show an 
 immediate increase in free RAM, this change is only temporary and will not 
 help the system optimize RAM usage. In fact, it may even show a small hit on 
 performance.
 
 The purge command and other memory cleaning routines simply bypass the 
 system's automatic memory management and clear out unused memory contents 
 manually, sometimes doing so by putting a large, temporary load on the system 
 to stress the RAM usage and squeezing the memory footprint of other programs 
 to be as small as possible.
 
 When you run these utilities, you will see the green free memory portion of 
 the memory chart in Activity Monitor get larger, suggesting more RAM is now 
 available. However, while this technically does result in more RAM being 
 designated as free, it is only a temporary measure since the system and 
 programs will progressively load this data back into RAM again, only now 
 being bottlenecked by the hard drive's slower speed and therefore will run a 
 bit slower than usual during this time.
 
 To give an analogy of this process, consider RAM as the tabletop of a desk on 
 which you work. If the table is empty then there is space for you to put the 
 equipment you need for your job -- pens, papers, books, and other tools 
 analogous to applications you use in a computer. However, if the table is 
 smaller, you cannot put as many items on it, or if you do you will have less 
 overall space on which to work.
 
 This is the same for computers, where if you load many programs, widgets, and 
 system tools, then the space remaining to do work will be more limited, 
 especially if you have only a limited amount of RAM to begin with.
 
 Using memory cleaners is like shoving all of your pens, papers, and books 
 into a tight pile in one corner of the desk, and even putting some into the 
 desk drawers to clear as much of the tabletop as possible.
 
 While doing this technically gives you more room in which to work, to get 
 things done you may need to sift through the pile and spread its contents out 
 again. This is what happens with the computer: after running purge, when 
 you access various programs they will simply spread out and reclaim the RAM 
 and other memory components that you freed up.
 
 Therefore, if you are constantly running low on memory and are seeing regular 
 slowdowns as a result, then upgrade your RAM (to at least double your current 
 amount, especially if you currently have only 4GB) instead of running memory 
 cleaning routines. Getting more RAM for your system would be like getting a 
 table top extension for your desk, so the computer can spread out your 
 work, be more efficient, and run at optimal speeds.

 If you get an error mentioning SplashID Safe when you run Safari on your

 Please download and run this uninstaller script to remove it:

 After you run it, launch SplashID and login. It should clear up the issue.

Re: Google Mail Issue

[Marcus F Harris]

Ok Ronni, I did find one setting unchecked and reset that.
Mail has a lot of folders which seem to repeat Gmail. There's a folder in 
MAILBOXES for inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash and archive. All of these gave 
Gmail sub folders. 
Then this seems to be all repeated in a GMAIL folder when I scroll down.
Until now at least, I had to open these to make sure that I hadn't missed any 
mail incoming.
Fingers crossed it won't happen again.

 Hello Marcus,
 
 I don't know how you originally setup  configured your web Gmail in your 
 Google Account... or what settings you have...
 Do you have default settings such as:
 Log in to your Gmail account (using this link or whichever URL
 you normally use for a Google Apps account with a custom domain).
 
 From the gear page71image8720.jpegpop-up menu at the top of the page, 
 choose Settings, and then click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
 
 In the IMAP Access section, make sure Enable IMAP is selected.
 
 Leave all other settings unchanged. But, if you’ve previously changed any of 
 the defaults, this is a good time to put them back.
 
 Under “When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted,” make sure “Auto-Expunge on 
 - Immediately update the server. (default)” is selected.
 
 Under “Folder Size Limits,” make sure “Do not limit the number of messages in 
 an IMAP folder (default)” is selected.
 
 If you made any changes, click Save Changes, and then go to the Labels tab:
 
  Make sure all the Show in IMAP checkboxes for All Mail, Sent Mail, Drafts, 
 All Mail, Spam, and Trash are selected. (The rest are up to you.) 
 
  Gmail works best with Mavericks Mail when you leave everything at its 
 default—such as not hiding the All Mail label, as was once a good idea.
 
 Limit concurrent logins. 
 Gmail permits 15 simultaneous IMAP connections for each account. That sounds 
 like a lot, but a single copy of Mail uses up several of those at once (in an 
 effort to be more efficient). 
 If you log in to the same Gmail account on a couple of computers and a couple 
 of iOS devices, you can quickly chew up all of those allowed connections, 
 after which one or more of your devices will stop connecting and start giving 
 you error messages. 
 So, try to reduce the number of devices logged in to your Gmail account at 
 once.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Hello Marcus,
 
 Gmail messages are arbitrarily depositing in Gmail Trash.
 
 I'll try to explain what I think might be happening.
 
 Mail in Mavericks automatically uses the correct Gmail mailboxes for 
 Drafts, Sent, Junk, and Trash, without the extra setup steps that were 
 formerly required. 
 However, as of 10.9.2, you’re free to choose different mailboxes to serve 
 these purposes, and you can even opt not to store such messages on the 
 server at all.
 
 How Mail handles Gmail as compared to other IMAP providers. If you’re used 
 to a conventional IMAP account, you’ll notice that Gmail behaves almost the 
 same in Mail, with a few exceptions
 
 Drafts behave differently. When you compose a message in a regular IMAP 
 account, Mail automatically saves a copy in your Drafts mailbox every 30 
 seconds as well as whenever you manually click Save as Draft. 
 
 Each time a new draft is saved, Mail deletes any previous draft of that

 When you compose a message in your Gmail account, Mail still saves a draft

 As a result, if you spend 10 minutes writing a message in your Gmail

 This behavior isn’t harmful—just empty your Trash every so often, or set up

 Hello Marcus,
 
 I don't know how you originally setup  configured your web Gmail in your 
 Google Account... or what settings you have...
 Do you have default settings such as:
 Log in to your Gmail account (using this link or whichever URL
 you normally use for a Google Apps account with a custom domain).
 
 From the gear page71image8720.jpegpop-up menu at the top of the page, 
 choose Settings, and then click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
 
 In the IMAP Access section, make sure Enable IMAP is selected.
 
 Leave all other settings unchanged. But, if you’ve previously changed any of 
 the defaults, this is a good time to put them back.
 
 Under “When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted,” make sure “Auto-Expunge on 
 - Immediately update the server. (default)” is selected.
 
 Under “Folder Size Limits,” make sure “Do not limit the number of messages in 
 an IMAP folder (default)” is selected.
 
 If you made any changes, click Save Changes, and then go to the Labels tab:
 
  Make sure all the Show in IMAP checkboxes for All Mail, Sent Mail, Drafts, 
 All Mail, Spam, and Trash are selected. (The rest are up to you.) 
 
  Gmail works best with Mavericks Mail when you leave everything at its 
 default—such as not hiding the All Mail label, as was once a good idea.
 
 Limit concurrent logins. 
 Gmail permits 15 simultaneous IMAP connections for each account. That sounds 
 like a lot, but a single copy of Mail uses up several of those at once (in an 
 effort to be more efficient). 
 If you log in to the same Gmail account on a couple of computers and a couple 
 of iOS devices, you can quickly chew up all of those allowed connections, 
 after which one or more of your devices will stop connecting and start giving 
 you error messages. 
 So, try to reduce the number of devices logged in to your Gmail account at 
 once.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

iPhone 4s lost wifi

[Marcus F Harris]

I bought a new iPhone 5s. I still have my two year old iPhone 4s but I don’t 
have a SIM anymore.
I had some issues with my 4s.
(1) A light source appeared in the top left corner of the screen when switched 
from dormant to active.
(2) when taking photos, they showed as existing frames but blacked out images.
(3) the battery life is pretty ordinary.
(3) wifi disappeared.

Otherwise there’s nothing wrong with the iPhone 4s, so I would pass it on to a 
friend without a smartphone.

However, it’s the wifi that has me beaten, because I cannot access internet.
I tried to reset using iTunes, but was instructed to turn off “find my iPhone” 
catch 22.

Any suggestions as to how to work around to reset the 4S and do you believe 
wifi will then work again?
cheers

Re: Why Apple Keeps Turning ON Your Bluetooth

[Marcus F Harris]

Very interesting Ronnie. 
I like to leave Bluetooth on as I have my GARMIN Nuvi ready for in car telecons

 Hi WAMUG members,
 
 I always have Bluetooth turned OFF until I require it to be enabled for 
 Personal Hotspot or other tasks that require Bluetooth. 
 I noticed Apple turned Bluetooth ON after I installed iOS 7 on my iPhone  
 iPad, and have turned BT ON each update since. 
 As I am aware of Apple doing this, I immediately check Bluetooth after each 
 update and just turn it OFF in Settings.
 
 But, I had been wondering What is the reason Apple are doing this?
 I knew it had to do with knowing/advertising where I am, and I had heard of 
 Apple using iBeacons in their stores to push information to customers. (iOS 7 
  above is required to use iBeacon technology.)
 
 So I did more research on iBeacons... and found iBeacons are not only in 
 Apple Stores but 'everywhere'... Well not quite everywhere, yet! ;-) iBeacons 
 could be the future of Retail.
 
 You might be interested in reading this article on the Forbes website:
 http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/03/12/apple-keeps-turning-bluetooth-on-when-you-update-your-iphone/
 
 Why Apple Keeps Turning on Your Bluetooth
 
 It seems like with every recent iOS update, Apple re-enables Bluetooth if you 
 turned it off previously. But why? Kashmir Hill of Forbes proposes that the 
 answer has something to do with iBeacons.
 “Without Bluetooth, iBeacons won’t work.”
 
 Another article worth a read:
 IBEACON technology that lets stores push information straight to your 
 smartphone is set to change the way Australians shop, writes Rod Chester
 http://www.news.com.au/national/ibeacons-on-the-shopping-list/story-e6frfkp9-1226823634849
 Of course if you don't want to allow iBeacons to work on your iOS 7 iPhone... 
 Just turn Bluetooth OFF!  Without Bluetooth, iBeacons won’t work.
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Serious questions for Apple

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Pat,
George Monbiot is a well known environmental activist. If you look at Bangka 
island on Google Earth, you will see its a small island and part of Indonesia. 
It is 95% covered in forest and there's only primitive infrastructure.
Monbiot's aim is to unsettle multinational corporations.
Surely we should be more concerned about the massive deforestation for Palm oil 
plantations than disrupting this historic and primitive tin mining.

Re: Apple TV, iMac and Sound Preferences

[Marcus F Harris]

Apple TV, iMac and Sound Preferences Update on this issue.
I left Apple TV on and shut down my iMac. On starting up again, the Sound 
preferences did not reveal the internal speakers only Apple TV. 
I disconnected Apple TV , but that did not change the preferences.
I did a restart and once again only the Apple TV was showing.
I disconnected Apple TV again and then restarted the iMac and bingo, the 
internal speakers are revealed in preferences.
I reconnected Apple TV and there's the choice again.
Obviously, I don't want to have to go through this tedious procedure every time 
I want to change sound output, so any further advice would be great.
Just to confirm my system is up to date and I used the combo instal for ML

 Hello Marcus
 
 I have no problems with the various options of playing music around my

 How are you attempting to switch music from AppleTV back to the iMac?  Is 
 this a new problem since, say, OSX 10.8.5 update?  Are you referring to 
 Apple Preferences - Sound, the Apple TV Settings, or the iTunes icon 
 to choose which speakers to use?   Do you initially choose the music 
 from AppleTV/television or from iTunes?
 
 If you switch via the iTunes icon, then are your various devices visible 
 initially?I have choice of Computer, AppleTV or Airport Express.  Do 
 you have Single or Multiple option selected?  What displays when the 
 problem happens?
 
 I find the Apple Preferences - Sound to be unstable on rare occasions.   
 When this happens the ticked item does not work.  I generally get it 
 working again by ticking another item and back to the output (or input) I 
 want.  But all choices are still displayed.

Re: Apple TV, iMac and Sound Preferences

Hi Ronni,
Yes, the iMac is connected by Ethernet to the Netgear Router ( ADSL2+) DG834N.
and the ATV is using its wifi.
Right now SOUNDOUTPUT is showing both Internal Speakers and ATV. I don't yet 
have an Airport Express.
I can switch between ATV and internal speakers until I shut down and restart 
the iMac. Then only the single choice is ATV if the ATV has not been turned off.
Cheers and thanks for the advice on iOS 7

 Apple TV, iMac and Sound Preferences Update on this issue.
 I left Apple TV on and shut down my iMac. On starting up again, the Sound 
 preferences did not reveal the internal speakers only Apple TV. 
 I disconnected Apple TV , but that did not change the preferences.
 I did a restart and once again only the Apple TV was showing.
 I disconnected Apple TV again and then restarted the iMac and bingo, the 
 internal speakers are revealed in preferences.
 I reconnected Apple TV and there's the choice again.
 Obviously, I don't want to have to go through this tedious procedure every 
 time I want to change sound output, so any further advice would be great.
 Just to confirm my system is up to date and I used the combo instal for ML 
 10.8.5

 Hello Marcus
 
 I have no problems with the various options of playing music around my 
 home network.  I can't replicate your problem.
 
 How are you attempting to switch music from AppleTV back to the iMac?  
 Is this a new problem since, say, OSX 10.8.5 update?  Are you referring 
 to Apple Preferences - Sound, the Apple TV Settings, or the iTunes 
 icon to choose which speakers to use?   Do you initially choose the 
 music from AppleTV/television or from iTunes?
 
 If you switch via the iTunes icon, then are your various devices visible 
 initially?I have choice of Computer, AppleTV or Airport Express.  Do 
 you have Single or Multiple option selected?  What displays when the 
 problem happens?
 
 I find the Apple Preferences - Sound to be unstable on rare occasions.   
 When this happens the ticked item does not work.  I generally get it 
 working again by ticking another item and back to the output (or input) 
 I want.  But all choices are still displayed.
 
 Cheers
 Alan.

 Hi Marcus,
 
 I am not a technician... but I would imagine that as long as the battery 
 physically fits (including the connector), there would be no problem using a 
 higher capacity 1200mAh replacement battery in your iPod.
 
 I think as long as you purchase from a reliable vendor that states the 
 battery will fit your particular model, you will be ok.

 Hi WAMUGers who still have a 'Newton',
 
 This is for you Rod  (Lavington) ;-))... have you still got your Newton?
 
 Writer and developer Matt Gemmell has detailed how to connect an Apple 
 Newton to a contemporary Mac running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Sold by Apple 
 from 1993 until 1998, the Newton was a groundbreaking handheld device that 
 featured handwriting recognition but wasn’t commercially successful. If you 
 have an old Newton kicking around, Gemmell advises acquiring the software and 
 hardware required to connect it to your computer now, as it’s likely to 
 become harder to obtain in the future. And if you’re just Newton-curious, 
 Gemmell discusses some Newton emulators with which you can experiment.

Re: iPhoto Issue after updating to Mac OS 10.8.4 FIXED

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni,
Fantastic…Following your instructions the system is working well and no further 
problems with iPhotos and reading memory cards.

What is the difference between Combo Update and updating from Apple Apps?
Re iPhoto…Yes, that was the issue exactly. There wasn't an image visible to 
edit before.
I would like to acknowledge your help on Apple Support, however I will only do 
so with your permission.

 Hi Marcus,
 
 Do you have Photos selected under Library?
 Then double-click a thumbnail image in Photos
 You should then see the enlarged photo in the centre frame and 
 Info/Edit/Create  etc in Right column of the iPhoto window
 And the thumbnail strip at bottom.
 
 From what you mention below you are not seeing the enlarged photo in the 
 centre frame of the iPhoto window... Is that correct?
 The flag is if you want to 'flag' an image.
 
 Also my iMac doesn't recognise inserted USB flash drives and SDHC Cards now, 
 but that's another issue for another day.
 
 I would suggest you Repair Permissions, Repair Drive and download the combo 
 update and install that. 
   http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659
 
 Repair Drive in Mountain Lion:
 
 1. Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R to boot into Recovery
 2. Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
 3. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
 4. Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the 
 “Repair” tab
 5. Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot 
 volume

 Hi Ronni,
 It's bewildering.
 I have checked hidden photos in the VIEW. No, it's not that.
 I'll try to explain a bit more as I've tried all the recommended solutions, 
 by you and the Apple Support Friends Terence and Eric.
 
 When in iPhoto, I select a photo and click EDIT, the photo is invisible, but 
 the thumbnail is visible in the strip below.
 What is visible is the request to ID the faces? Sometimes a FLAG appears as 
 well.
 
 If I select EFFECTS, the thumbnails appear on the RHS, but the photo itself 
 remains invisible.
 
 Before I updated to ML 10,8,4 I didn't have this problem.
 
 Also my iMac doesn't recognise inserted USB flash drives and SDHC Cards now, 
 but that's another issue for another day.
 
 Thanks for trying to find a solution. Perhaps it's something I overlooked 
 and I guess I can report this to APPLE if there's no obvious solution.

 Hi Ronni,
 Fantastic…Following your instructions the system is working well and no 
 further problems with iPhotos and reading memory cards.
 
 What is the difference between Combo Update and updating from Apple Apps?
 Re iPhoto…Yes, that was the issue exactly. There wasn't an image visible to 
 edit before.
 I would like to acknowledge your help on Apple Support, however I will only 
 do so with your permission.

 Hi Marcus,
 
 Do you have Photos selected under Library?
 Then double-click a thumbnail image in Photos
 You should then see the enlarged photo in the centre frame and 
 Info/Edit/Create  etc in Right column of the iPhoto window
 And the thumbnail strip at bottom.
 
 From what you mention below you are not seeing the enlarged photo in the 
 centre frame of the iPhoto window... Is that correct?
 The flag is if you want to 'flag' an image.
 
 Also my iMac doesn't recognise inserted USB flash drives and SDHC Cards 
 now, but that's another issue for another day.
 
 I would suggest you Repair Permissions, Repair Drive and download the combo 
 update and install that. 
   http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659
 
 Repair Drive in Mountain Lion:
 
 1. Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R to boot into Recovery
 2. Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
 3. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
 4. Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the 
 “Repair” tab
 5. Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot 
 volume

Re: Upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Barry,
The description of your iMac sounds exactly like mine.
I updated to 10.8.4 without many issues.
In fact, the only issue I have at the moment is with iPhoto.
I need to correspond further with Ronni to sort this out when I get back to my 
desk.
Cheers

 Is my current machine - 27inch late 2009 3.06GHz Intel core 2 Duo 12GB 
 1067MHz DDR3 - suitable for an update?
 
 When updating from SL to Lion I had problems with parallels and had to

 update to Version 8 would be necessary?
 
 Any obvious downsides of upgrading.

 Hi Marcus,
 
 If you are updating via WiFi try logging out of the App Store temporarily. 
 Navigate to Settings - iTunes  App Stores  click Apple ID - then Sign 
 Out. 
 
 Now open the App Store App and Navigate to the Featured section. 
 Scroll to the bottom of the page and touch the Sign In - Use Existing Apple 
 ID. 
 Log in and the stuck apps should reset. 
 
 If that doesn't fix the 'stalled installing':
 
 1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, 
 Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. 
 Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
  
 2. Connect to iTunes; and Check for available download (under Store). 
 When download is completed, sync to iPhone

Re: iPhone apps failing to download

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi Ronni  Peter,
Before trying Ronni's suggestions, I tried Peter's
Quote

Whenever this happens to me I find that I can solve it by navigating to the 
downloading app in the iOS desktop itself. You will see its icon containing an 
empty progress bar. Simply tapping the icon generally gets the download 
happening again.

Peter HinchliffeApwin 

After tapping away several times as each App appeared on screen, they all did 
download!!
Marvellous
So thank you!
Cheers

 Hi Marcus,
 
 If you are updating via WiFi try logging out of the App Store temporarily. 
 Navigate to Settings - iTunes  App Stores  click Apple ID - then Sign 
 Out. 
 
 Now open the App Store App and Navigate to the Featured section. 
 Scroll to the bottom of the page and touch the Sign In - Use Existing Apple 
 ID. 
 Log in and the stuck apps should reset. 
 
 If that doesn't fix the 'stalled installing':
 
 1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, 
 Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. 
 Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
  
 2. Connect to iTunes; and Check for available download (under Store). 
 When download is completed, sync to iPhone
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Apple Notes

[Marcus F Harris]

Yes, thanks Ronni, V10.8.3

I do like the features of NOTES, but I was wondering if it was lockable.

The fact that it is available on all our devices through iCloud is a concern 
because other family members don't secure their devices with a password entry.

I suppose I am going to have to scrub key notes with, for example retail 
account info from NOTES, unless I can lock it as administrator.
I see EVERNOTE requires a user to log-in so it is +/- secure.

Thanks for your detailed info,I will continue to use NOTES for non-sensitive 
stuff.
cheers

 Hi Marcus,
 
 Are you using Notes in Mountain Lion? Notes were much improved in Mountain 
 Lion.
 
 Notes in Mountain Lion
 http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#notes
 
 Pushed to all devices:
 With iCloud, your notes stay up to date on all your devices. Create notes on 
 your Mac, and they appear in the Notes app on your iPad. 
 Change a note on the go on your iPhone, and it’s updated on your Mac.
 
 Folders:
 Stay organized by arranging notes in folders.
 
 Search:
 Use the search field to quickly find the note you’re looking for.
 
 Add links:
 Notes supports links — simply highlight a URL and drag it into the note.
 
 Full screen:
 Click the full-screen button to take one or all of your notes full screen.
 
 Photos and attachments:
 Drag a photo or an attachment into a note to include it.
 
 Fonts, bullets, and lists:
 Format your note with fonts, rich text, bulleted items, and numbered lists.
 
 Built-in sharing:
 The Share button is built into Notes, so it’s easy to send a note to a friend 
 or colleague using Mail or Messages.
 
 Sort Notes:
 Sort Notes by date edited, date created, or title.
 
 Pin notes:
 Pin a note to keep it handy on your desktop. Just double-click, and your note 
 opens in its own window. Even if you close Notes, the note stays open on your 
 desktop. You can pin multiple notes to see them all at a glance.
 
 Multiple accounts:
 Notes works with IMAP services, so your notes stay up to date on your 
 devices. You can also create notes and folders that appear only on your Mac.
 
 I have Evernote as well, but find just for Note taking and jotting quick 
 notes I use Notes App more.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Thanks John,
It looks as though I have to move each note individually to Evernote  . I was 
hoping that I could move the entire contents in one go.

Hello Ronni,
Here are the values.
Before proceeding further, I can tell you that I moved the ethernet cable from 
outport 3 to outport 1 and it has been stable today.
Maybe there was an issue with the ethernet cable socket???
 What values are shown for the following please.

 IPv4 Address:192.168.0.2
 
 Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0

Re: I would like some guidance please

[Marcus F Harris]

Thanks for the guidance Ronni,
I checked the settings on my other devices and they are all set to DHCP and 
they each have their own IPv4 Address.
Therefore I am hopeful that the problem resided in the ethernet port connection.
Give it a couple of days to stabilise and i'll let you know the outcome.

 Hi Marcus,
 
 Changing the Ethernet Port could very well correct the problem. The port the 
 Ethernet cable was connected to could be faulty.
 
 The settings you have given below in System Preferences are the  correct 
 settings.
 The Router is set to automatically hand out IP addresses.
 
 Do you have any other devices - other computer connecting to your Network?
 If you do, check that they are set to use DHCP 
 Setting all computers to using DHCP will let the router handle the addressing.
 
 Let us know if changing the Ethernet port doesn't fix the problem.
