Re: iPhoto transfer

[Norman Leslie]

Hi,

I have hesitated to comment on the issue, but since I started it all  
by posting the initial question, I will add my two cents worth.


I have been on the list for the last 7 years or so since coming to WA.  
A friend here in Bunbury made me aware of WAMUG and as a long time Mac  
user I have enjoyed and appreciated being a member of the list since.  
Being able to access the resources of the list is very useful when  
living in the country.


I would observe that there has been more than one case of "rage" in  
recent times. However, I have noticed that the "rage" is selective. I  
went back to read the Guidelines and Etiquette on the Mailing List  
page and did not see a reference to the issue of "bandwidth" - but I  
may have missed it. I have noticed that there are frequent  
"violations" of the etiquette rule about checking the archives,  
attempting to solve the problems prior to posting the question etc.,  
which have not resulted in "rage".


I would echo Vlad's comments that where there is a "violation" it  
should be "noted", unless it is a repeat offence. However, the  
Guidelines and Etiquette should be applied consistently. If I were new  
to the list and encountered the "web rage" I would have an entirely  
different impression of WAMUG.


I would like to thank those who take the time, effort and energy to  
make the list available and useful to us all.


I hope that common sense prevails so that we can all enjoy and benefit  
from each other in a "rage free" environment.


I would also like to thank Rob Phillips for pointing me in the right  
direction. Indeed, if I had taken the time to read the documentation  
for iPhotoManager which I have used, I would have found how to achieve  
what I wanted to do. So, yes I plead guilty to not having checked the  
documentation I had available to me prior to posting the question on  
the list.


As an aside, I also spoke with a "technical specialist" at Apple about  
the matter - he was unaware of the matter, checked it out and advised  
me that it was related to the inherent structure of iPhoto - he  
forwarded the issue to Cuppertino for "immediate consideration". I  
thought it "interesting" that a product specialist had to do some  
checking himself to determine that when exporting an album one had to  
choose between sequence and title.

Nevertheless, I feel compelled to comment.

Rob Phillips was in error to send a graphic to the mailing list. He  
deserved to have that brought to his attention. However, he did not  
deserve to be shouted at in an overbearing manner by any self-styled

In response to Bob Howells.

It is always quite a tricky judgement call whether to post on- or  
off-list.  In fact, my first response to Norman Leslie was off- 
list.  When he responded to me, and I thought about it a little  
more, I felt that it was important to share what I thought was a  
solution with the whole list, because Norman's post had implied  
that there was an unsolvable technical issue.


I got halfway through my reply, then realised that Norman was  
expressing uncertainty about what I had suggested.  I thought that  
a screen dump would allay his uncertainties, and included it.  My  
intention was to be helpful, and I don't think this warranted being  
shouted at.


I will think carefully when and how I make future contributions.

Re: iPhoto transfer

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Rob,

I currently use PhotoManger, but it will not allow me to do what I want.

I contacted Apple because I still have Apple Care on the MacBook. I  
was put through to a "product specialist" after a bit of prompting.


The "product specialist" discovered that indeed, there is not a way to  
export an album while retaining BOTH titles and sequence - it is a  
problem with how the program is structured. He was surprised that this  
was not possible - he said that it was possible back with iPhoto 4,  
but I can't remember that for sure.


He has contacted Cupertino to advocate for the feature being made  
available in any future upgrade. I was surprised that this product  
specialist was not already aware of the limitation - does that say  
something about the level of training?


Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath!

10.5.7 Update - Time Capsule & Canon printer

[Norman Leslie]

Hi,

I have 2 iMacs and a MacBook on a wireless network using Time Capsule.

All was well prior to the software update.

After installing the Combo Updater and running Disk Utility as  
recommended, the two iMacs had no problem. However, the MacBook was  
not backing up on Time Capsule. I tried a number of times without  
success. I looked online and found that someone else was reporting the  
same issue on TUAW, but no solution.


Then I connected the MacBook directly to Time Capsule via ethernet  
cable. That solved the problem, but it did take 37 mins to "prepare",  
33 minutes to "back up" and 11 minutes "finishing". I have just  
checked and it subsequently backed up wirelessly in the usual amount  
of time - about 4 minutes.


I hope this helps anyone encountering a similar problem.

As an aside, I have a Canon iP300 printer connected to one of the  
iMacs. I can print from the iMac connected to that printer, but I  
can't print from the other iMac nor the MacBook. Print sharing is on.  
This worked before the update. Any thoughts

Hello Norman,

I have not received any of these Phantom "SPAM" emails. But, they  
have been around for years though.


Select one of the blank messages and View>Message>Long Headers.

If you look through the detailed headers you will see where the  
content of the message starts.
It's likely that the message was created by a 'zombie' system that  
someone has taken over for the purposes of sending spam, and that  
the program creating the spam message is messing up the format of  
the email it's sending - which means that your email reader can't  
find the sender, recipient, subject etc. where it expects them in  
the message.


Just delete the messages - you're definitely not missing anything!

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Wireless issues

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Wendy,

Try resetting TC when it only has the power plugged in - and not  
connected to the modem. I think you can start the settings in Airport  
Utility with only the power and then connect it to the modem - I'm  
sorry I can't remember at what stage precisely he asked me to connect  
the modem.


That's great if you get "house calls" from Apple! Too bad the Chinese  
president is getting in the way. Would the situation be the same if  
Kevin Rudd paid a visit?

I have spoken with the Apple guys (they are fairly new to the

Wireless issues

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Wendy & other WAMUG members,

I am pleased to report that all is up and working - after a call to  
Apple.


The one thing that the Apple Tech support person had me do that I had  
not done was to re-set the Airport Express station that was connected  
to my previous network.  Everything else, I had already done. The one  
comment he made was that the sequence of operations may have made the  
difference.


In case this helps Wendy or others, here are the steps he took me  
through:

1. Re-set the Airport Express
2. Connect to the Airport Express using the Airport Icon on the menu  
bar where it will show as an un-named network

3. Open Airport Utility which should see the Airport Express
4. Configure Airport Express
5. Plug in Time Capsule but do not connect to ethernet or modem - then  
hit resent button
6. Open Airport Utility and you should now "see" and configure Time  
Capsule

7. Connect Time Capsule to your modem and complete the configuration
8. You can now set up Airport Express to the network either to extend  
the range of your network, or as I do to connect to a decent set of  
speakers.


I hope I haven't missed any steps!

Good luck Wendy and anyone else.

Re: Lost wireless network

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Wendy and others,

It can't be just a Mauritius phenomenon because I am encountering very  
similar problems here in Bunbury.


I just bought a Time Capsule on Thursday and set it up on Friday.  
Initially all went well, but then I went back to connect an Airport  
Express so that I could connect to quality speakers, that's when the  
trouble started.


I get the same message when I use Airport Utility - "Airport Utility  
was unable to find any Apple wireless devices."


I "App Zapped"  Airport Utility and re-installed it. Same problem. We  
have 3 computers in the house 2 iMac [Intels] and a MacBook [also  
Intel] - all running on the latest Leopard. When I try Airport Utility  
on any of the 3 machines I get the same error message. That is odd in  
itself.


Fortunately, I still have my Snow Airport Base Station - when I use  
that, I can access the Internet etc. just like before -however, when I  
run Airport Utility - I get the same error message. When I look in  
Network Preferences, it shows my network is there. So if it shows in  
Network Prefs, why will Airport Utility not see it?


I have tried re-setting Time Machine, the modem, connecting Time  
Machine  via Ethernet - all to no avail.


It seems to me that Airport Utility is the problem, but why on all 3  
computers? If I don't get it working this evening, I will call Apple  
in the morning. I will pass along what they tell me if that proves to  
be necessary.


And now it has just got worse! I can't connect by the Snow Airport - I  
can only connect by ethernet direct from the modem!!



Stay tuned.

Re: FileMaker Question

Hi Peter,

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

One particular layout I was trying to achieve had more fields than  
records!


Your response forced me to go back and have another look at how I  
could achieve what I needed. The "little grey cells", to quote Hercule  
Poirot eventually kicked in. I have increased the "depth" of the body  
and "stacked" the fields for a record. The end result will do the trick.


Thanks to others for their input.

Filemaker's Layout Mode does not support this in any way. In fact  
I'm struggling to think of any database tool that does. By their  
very nature, you are always going to have many more records than  
fields, so a vertical arrangement of records displaying a set number  
of fields (allowing "endless" scrolling) is the natural and obvious  
approach. It's also much easier to make sense of.


Do you have any examples of the model you are trying to reproduce?

Templates, where the fields are in columns and the records in rows.


Can someone put me out of my misery?

This is for a project I'm doing for the Bunbury Entertainment Centre  
on a volunteer basis.


Thanks in advance

A Collectors Item

[Norman Leslie]

Hi,

I hae a copy of The Visual Quick Start Guide for AppleWorks by Nolan  
Hester published by PeachPit Press.


Before it goes in the re-cycle bin, I thought I would make it  
available to anyone who could provide a good home for it!

Is there anyone on list who have managed to scan them ?

Re: Avery Labels & MS Word

[Norman Leslie]

Hi All,

The solution to my problem was to take time to read all the options!  
In the Label Options window there is a pop up for the brand of labels.  
The default is Avery, then there are another 8 or so options, one of  
which is Avery A4 & A5 - I failed to see this second Avery option.


Thanks to Lloyd, Merv, Jane and Michael for responding.

P.S. As for iPhone - if you need a Telstra iPhone for coverage  
reasons, those of us in the SouthWest have to drive to Perth and hope  
that they have some in stock in Morley, or drive to Kal!!

Thanks for getting back to me.

The Page Set Up is for A4 - I have Prefs set to metric BUT  when in

the paper size shows Letter, and I have no option to change that.


I bought MS Word in Canada which has a split personality when it comes

Re: Avery Labels & MS Word

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Jane,

I am using Word 10.1.8 on Leopard 10.5.4.

I bought MS Office when I was living in Canada which follows US sizes  
[ I will not comment any further!!]


What is interesting is that the individual label sizes are showing in  
metric, but the page size in the Options dialogue box shows the page  
as being Letter, despite the page set up showing A4.


I detect there is a conflict there somewhere, whereby I can change the  
page size in page set up, but the Avery page set up is not up for  
negotiation on the Label Options dialogue box.


I am checking out the templates on the Avery,au web site.

Thanks for the response

There is an Avery application for the Mac called "Mac Label Expert"

use Word, it is rather basic though. I've just looked on the Avery  
website and I can no longer find this app on their site.


Is your Word showing the sizes in metric?

Re: Printing contact sheets in iPhoto

[Norman Leslie]

Many thanks to Ronni & Eugene who have solved the issue.

When you change the number of columns in the contact sheet -after you  
are in "print mode", the sort defaults to "date", despite the album  
being sorted "manually".


The appropriateness and speed of the support is greatly appreciated,  
nor taken for granted.

Re: ING

[Norman Leslie]

Hi,

Thanks to Ronni and Michael for their postings.

Unfortunately, the problem persists while the plot thickens!

I tried your suggestions, Ronni one at a time, but after doing all of  
them as well as running Disk Utility, there was no progress.


We have 3 Macs in the house, all with the same OS and Safari version.  
[2 Intel iMacs & a Power PC iBook], and the problem only exists on the  
one machine.


The one that it doesn't work on, and the one which I use, is a very  
early Intel iMac 4.1 with Intel Core Duo, 1.83 GHz, 2MB of L2 cache.


When I hover over the "online banking login", the cursor changes, the  
# symbol is added to the address line, and "go to # on this page"  
appears on the bottom left of the window, but nothing happens.


Well, actually something does happen!!  I thought I should try several  
more times to make sure that the problem was there. Now I don't have a  
problem!! I wondered if there was a problem area on the screen whereby  
the hyper link was not active for some reason. So I moved the window,  
tried the same thing and voila it worked! I returned the window to the  
earlier location and it works there!!


Computers work in mysterious ways!  I had been trying various things  
over the last few days since the original posting, but to no effect. I  
don't believe I did anything different, but all is well now.


Thanks to all those who spent time trying to replicate my problem or  
find a solution.

I've just been able to login without any problems using Safari 3.0.4

Try: Reset Safari, uncheck 'Block Popup Windows', and have Java &

Also restart your computer.

If I remember what else I did, I'll let you know.

ING

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Folks,

I tried to login into ING Banking using Safari - when I clicked on  
Online Banking hyperlink, nothing happened except a "#" was added to  
the URL in the address line.


I have not encountered this before - I last used the website last week.

When I tried the same thing using Firefox, all worked fine.

I know some members were having ING issues a couple of weeks back.   
Before contacting ING, I thought it might be helpful to know whether  
the issue is just happening to me here in Bunbury.

FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 update delivers Leopard compatibility and more

FileMaker has released FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 and FileMaker Pro 9.0v2  
Advanced, available now via a
downloadable update. The 9.0v2 update provides compatibility with  
Mac OS X Leopard as described below,

and other features, and is recommended for all users.

Here is a list of other fixes in the 9.0v2 update that developers  
will be most interested in:


Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard):
The application no longer crashes when creating files if the system  
language and region do not match.


General Fixes:
Mac OS X: Get(SystemVersion) now returns the correct version on Mac  
OS X operating systems ending with

double digit revision numbers, i.e. 10.4.10.

The database consistency check initiated on launch will no longer  
incorrectly report that a database is damaged

for some databases that can be opened and used without any problems.

Printing Fixes:
The update addresses issues which cause the application to crash  
when a page range is specified.


Relationships:
A relationship with a global field now returns all related records  
if the value of the other key is empty.


For a complete list of fixes please refer to the updater Read Me or  
FileMaker downloads at

http://www.filemaker.com/support/downloads/index.html

Click here for the details and to download the FileMaker Pro 9.0v2  
and FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 Advanced

Leopard update now.

Please note that this update does not fix issues with the FileMaker  
Pro 9 Instant Web Publishing (IWP) feature
running on Leopard. We intend to make IWP compatible with Leopard  
in an update expected in December 2007.


We expect to deliver a Leopard compatibility update for our Server  
products in early 2008. FileMaker Server 9 and
FileMaker Server 9 Advanced currently do not deploy properly on  
Leopard. In the meantime, FileMaker Pro 9 and
FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced clients running on Leopard do work with  
FileMaker Server and Server Advanced running

on Tiger or earlier versions of Mac OS X.

For timely news on the availability of compatibility updates for  
IWP, and for FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker

Server 9 Advanced, please subscribe to FileMaker News.

Mac OS X Leopard.

In light of Toby's posting, here is a link to what FMPro has to say

http://www.filemaker.com/support/leopard.html

They don't intend to do anything for those of us who are using  
anything but the latest versions!!

For those unhappy with the new iMovie

iWeb issues

[Norman Leslie]

Hi,

Has anyone else had experience with using iWeb?  I checked the super  
duper Archive page but couldn't find any reference to it.


I recently posted an iWeb site sharing a blog and photos with friends  
and family overseas.


It appears the iWeb does not work too well on Windows when using IE.  
I had occasion to check this on a friend's Windozw machine yesterday  
and the results are very poor - they pages either don't load, or load  
very slowly, or partially load.  Navigation between pages is almost  
non-existent.


I had a look on the Apple Support sight and found this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304349


It identifies a problem with vertical lines and recommends making  
vertical lines greater than 1 point in size.


Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Has anyone found this  
solution to be effective?


It would be easier if my friends were either Mac users or used  
Firefox on Windoze!!  Maybe I should choose my friends more  
carefully, but I can't chose my relatives!!


All ideas welcomed.

Thanks

Future of WAMUG

[Norman Leslie]

Hi,

One of the intriguing aspects of the discussion on the future of  
WAMUG has been the responses coming from outside of Perth - I had  
assumed that there were only one or two of us in the country, and  
today I see we even have an overseas member! Living outside of Perth  
makes it very hard to attend meetings - I would not relish a 2 hour  
drive home at the end of the meeting - and I only have to get to  
Bunbury!


I would echo the sentiments already expressed, namely that there is a  
role for WAMUG in the future.  It may not be the same as was  
originally envisaged, but the sign of a healthy organisation is one  
that changes with the times.


I think that it would help advance the cause if the discussion could  
be more focused - I think that was where Ken Woods was heading with  
his e-mail earlier this afternoon.


If I could be so bold, might I suggest that a questionnaire be  
formulated so that responses could be more easily collated and  
therefore provide clearer direction?  The questionnaire would have to  
be carefully developed - input from someone with experience/expertise  
would be an asset. The questions would hopefully create a better  
understanding of what people appreciate with the present set up as  
well as ideas for future directions.


Could the existing leadership delegate the task of creating the  
questionnaire to a group of "learned persons"?  From what I can  
gather, the existing leadership has been doing most of the hard yards  
of late and would welcome some assistance with this task.  While not  
suggesting for a moment that I am a "learned person", I would be  
willing to assist. One can't put forward an idea that involves time  
and energy, if one is not willing to contribute.

Scanner for sale

[Norman Leslie]

Hi Folks,

I have an Epson Perfection 2450 Scanner for sale. It is in very good  
condition.


It comes with the original documentation and software incl. Epson  
Twain software CD.


This particular model is no longer sold, but is supported by Epson.

In light of recent discussion, I should add that it comes with a 3  
pin plug!!


Before putting it out to a wider audience, I thought I would canvas  
WAMUG members first.


I would be happy with $125.00. I can deliver it next time I'm in  
Perth [this Friday would be the earliest] or to parts of the SouthWest.


I have been very happy with it - the only reason I am selling it is  
that I have bought a scanner capable of "bulk scanning" slides - have  
over 4000 slides that I want to scan, and the 2450 does them 4 at a  
time!!

We were reluctant to respond to an email address with a name such  
as 'subscribe' - can anyone (Natas?) confirm that this ad is genuine?



I sold Natas an Eyetv a couple of months back.  Its genuine.
