Re: iPad Sync

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni

Sorry for the delay, the meeting went on for several days...

Anyway, as usual you were right on. I used the option in settings to delete
stuff I no longer used. That fixed it!

Thanks again.

Regards,

Paul

iPad Sync

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

I am having some problems synching my iPad. When I attempt a sync the
response is: The iPad “iPad” cannot be synced because there is not enough
free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 1.34 GB required).

The free memory space is listed as 4.64 GB Free. Is there any way to free
up additional memory on the iPad?

Re: Strange Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

I am 99% sure I found the problem, hard to believe what it was but it does
make some sense if you think about it.

I was working on a project for one of my clients when I noticed the App
that monitors my fans and temperature was not loaded. It always shows in
the Menu bar. I tried to restart it but got a message that a newer version
was available. Once I downloaded the new version, did the update and
restarted I noticed noise from the fans, and realised I had not heard that
for a while.

Almost immediately the noise problem went away. Seems like it was all due
to overheating, although I do not understand why only the Analog Line-out
was affected.

Keeping my fingers crossed, it has been quiet for almost three days now...

Re: Strange Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

There is only one Analog or Line-out Port on the MacPro, I do not use the
Optical Port. I have tried a different cable, a different external
amplifier, even no amplifier, all with no change.

I would like to come to MacWorx Joondalup but it is quite a trip from
Singapore! Also the MacPro is a bit heavy...

There is a Mac Repair Centre here so I will visit there as soon as my
current project is finished, probably early next week. I will keep
everybody informed.

Regards,

Paul

Re: Strange Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

Sorry for the long delay but so far not much luck with the problem. All I have 
been able to determine is that the noise appears to be created internally on 
the Audio line-out port. Also I finally realised the noise was not affected by 
the volume controls and does not happen on the internal speakers. If I put the 
computer to sleep via the Apple Menu and leave it alone for an hour or so the 
noise disappears. The noise will start up again after an hour or two once the 
computer is awake. Next step is probably a trip to the Apple Repair Centre.

The mystery continues…

re: Strange Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Tim,

I happen to be, among other stings a qualified electrician. I have gone
through all the wiring in the house with an oscilloscope. The source is
definitely in the monitors, it appears both are affected. I have checked
grounding, leakage, shorts/opens just about everything I can think of. I
agree it sounds serious but I am at my wits end. It is definitely not
static, it is too regular for that.

Regards,

Paul


Paul this sounds pretty serious if it is affecting other devices. I'd be
getting some professional electrical advice ASAP and getting them to test
the building wiring.  Your earthing might not be adequate, or some
shielding is breaking down.

This noise you talk about, is it like static electricity is building up on
the screens?  Think about what else has changed to create a static charge
in your house. New carpets? Electrical work done, at your place or nearby?
Some switches may be failing too. Plenty to investigate by an onsite expert
with a meter.

Re: Strange Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Sorry for the delay in answering I was with one of my clients.

BENQ was my first stop no response for 2 days...

The model is BENQ G2400W LCD Monitor.

They are approximately 4 years old and have never given any problems. The
electrical noise is so extensive even my electronic thermometers for my
wine cellar stop reading - major catastrophe - the noise couples into the
wiring.

Paul

Strange Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

Got a weird one. For background, my system uses 2 physical screens. After
some time the screens create a lot of electrical noise. The time varies but
it will occur several times per day. The noise varies from very loud to
almost dead quiet. The screens make the electrical (loud crackling) noise
whenever a refresh takes place.

At first it appeared to be related to memory use but that proved false. The
interference created is enough to affect my HTTP server on another IP so I
have no choice but to shut down my main development system.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Re: Apps not returning to proper screens

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

I have 2 identical monitors (BENQ). They are setup as Display 1 and 2. Same
resolution, all specs are the same.  'Displays have separate Spaces' is
selected. Used as extended desktop, no video mirroring. When I select the
location for the App via the 'Options' when clicking on the App Icon I
select either 'Display 1' or 'Display 2'. That option seems to be forgotten
on a reboot.

For what it is worth, it seems to have started after the upgrade to
Mavericks. I am at moment doing some very low level of development work
which requires a lot of restarts when things go wrong, as they seem to do a
lot at this early stage .

Regards,

Paul

Re: Missing Messages in Mail

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Peter,

I send a message that I had found the problem. The bar that sets the size
of the message display was slit all the way up to the top. This caused the
display area to look blank. The pull down indicator is virtually invisible
to my old eyes so it took a while to figure out what had happened. Getting
old is no fun...

Re: Memory problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni

I have a little bit of an excuse, I was in Hospital for a week and while
there a good friend asked me by phone if he could use my computer to send
an urgent email

Never again!

Paul

Re: Memory problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Walter,

You need to follow the removal instructions exactly, the uninstaller,
apparently deliberately does not do the job. The instructions are a bit
complicated but will do the job for you. I got 'lucky' that my system
crashed before it could complete the installation so the other files never
made it. There is something to be said for having too many open Apps at the
same time .

Regards,

Paul

Re: Memory problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Sorry, forgot to mention it but I did try the Save Mode and it still gave
the same problem.

I had forgotten about the Console App. When I started the Console App on of
the first things that I noticed was an entry about an installer for an App
called Completer.app.

Some research showed this to be the bad one! It is part of a lot of stuff
installed by a rogue app by Geneio Innovation.

FURTHER RESEARCH PROVED I SHOULD NEVER LET GUESTS USE MY COMPUTER, THEY
DOWNLOAD STUFF THEY HAVE IDEA WHAT IT IS FOR. It was downloaded about two
weeks ago.

In this case all it managed to install is the browser extension,
fortunately it crashed the Mac before it installed the other almost twenty
files! The only thing I don't understand is why it only tried to install
starting yesterday...

Here is the URL with all the info: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/

So, thanks for the assistance, as usual I would be lost without your expert
help!

Memory problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Just an update, I thought the problem was fixed with the re-install of OSX
but it is not.

I found that something initiates a task called "Installer" that quickly
takes all available memory. If I catch it in time and Force Quit the
Installer task the system survives.

I can not find any way to identify the task, I have Activity Monitor
running all the time so I can Force Quit the task.

Also, and this is really strange, while the system is 'hung' there is a
very powerful electrical (arcing) noise pulsing the speakers, both the
Mac's external speakers as well as an entirely independent system not
connected to the Mac at all but nearby on my desk. The noise disappears
once the system is rebooted!

I have followed the 'tree' of ownership of the rogue Installer task but it
simply leads to a parent process called "launchd (1)" and then to the
parent process "kernel_task (0)".

Any advice will be greatly appreciated...

Regards,

Paul

Re: Memory Usage

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

I am not using either,  do not even know what they are supposed to do.

I decided to rebuild OSX using the reinstall part of OSX Utilities, using
the Command-R option.

For now it seems to have worked, keeping my fingers crossed. Swap memory
has been staying at 0 bytes even before the rebuild it never moved.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully the rebuild will fix it.

Paul

Memory Usage

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

I have a new problem. I have 10GB of memory installed in my Mac Pro
desktop. After a short time all apps will be listed as suspended for lack
of memory.

OSX 10.9.2

*Processor*  2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

*Memory*  10 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC


I can watch the Memory Used on the Activity monitor, it starts off OK then
starts counting up and no memory appears to be ever freed up or released.


Is there a memory test I can run, I recall such an App but can not seem to
locate it before my system locks up.

Re: Gaming mouse

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that, I have been testing both Steermouse and USBOverdrive. So
far Steermouse appears to do more of what I want, so I will stick with that
for the time being. The latest version is supposed to have fixed earlier

Hi Ronni,

I found an App called SteerMouse <

Re: Gaming mouse

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

I tried theSystem Preferences > Mouse Panel, it did not change so it
probably did not recognise the mouse as being different.

I tried the drivers as well, they do not offer the choices I was looking
for, very limited.

I did find a couple of Apps/Preference Panels that are more generic but did
not offer the keyboard choices (Command + other keys) that I am looking for.

I will keep looking on the 'Net, maybe somewhere is what I need.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I guess you have already tried the mouse settings in System Preferences >
Mouse?
This pane looks different depending on what kind of mouse is attached to
your Mac.

Are you using the latest Razer Drivers & software for Mac?

Re: Gaming mouse

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni

I did try the System Preferences > Mouse but there was no difference in the
settings. I also installed the drivers but the choices of button function
is extremely limited. They only pertain to very basic functions such as
scrolling. I am more looking to be able to specify functions such as
Command key + other keys to navigate through various apps.

I found a couple of small apps to do some of that but all are lacking in
several functions, mostly in navigation, which is what I am looking for.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, I will continue looking on them 'Net.

Paul

Gaming mouse

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

I have been given a gaming mouse to replace an ancient Microsoft
Intellimouse that has failed.

Does anyone know of a Utility or Preference Panel that allows me to
customise the buttons a gaming mouse?

The mouse is a Razer Death Adder 2013 with 5 buttons.

OSX 10.9.2,  Mac Pro mid 1910

Thanks in advance,

USB Ports

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

Is there a way to reset the USB port address to 1. I can do it by
restarting the computer but that seems to be the hard way. It gets reset to
usually port 3 if I (accidentally) disconnect the Arduino that is normally
connected there.

Regards,

Paul

PS. Mail is working as it should after upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2, all
my problems have disappeared.

Re: Strange Mail Actions

Hi Ronni

I am on the latest of OSX 10.9.1 as well as Mail 7.1 (1827).

I can 'cure' the problem by closing and re-opening the Message Viewer so I
think I leave it like that until the next upgrade, hopefully that will take
care of the problem.

Re: Strange Mail Actions

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni

I have tried everything you suggested with no change at all.

I do think there is something wrong on my Mac, when I close the Message
Viewer window everything gets updated when I open it again. Next I will try
to download the latest version of Mail and see what happens.

BTW My Mac is a Mid 2010 Mac Pro,
*Processor*  2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon,
*Memory*  10 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC

Thanks again for all your assistance, will let you know if I find a

My setup is a bit unusual, I run my own email servers (located in Perth
BTW). All my emails are automatically forwarded to my Gmail account. That
strips of the spam very neatly. The Gmail account is a POP account as in
the early days Gmail had a lot of problems with IMAP and I never bothered
changing it. The Mail.app then looks at ether sender or subject and
distributes the message to the appropriate mail boxes. Always worked fine
but maybe the new Mail.app needs something different.

Paul

Strange Mail Actions

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

After the update to  Mavericks the Mail App is acting strange. Random Mail
boxes will show unread Items when there are none and others will not show
any items, even when there are unread items present.

Mavericks 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827)

I have re-imported all mail boxes.

Sometimes, not always, the condition seems to correct itself after 15-20
minutes.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour, is there a solution?

TIA

Re: Mavericks Update

Hi Ronni

I have not yet updated to Mavericks as before I left there were apparently
still problems. I did a search on the mailing list but did not find
anything that indicated a specific fix or update.

So it looks like the only way will be to upgrade and see, I was not even
aware that Mavericks had been updated. I was away for a long time, doing
wine tours in Australia and the US, good stuff if you have the time!

Paul

What issues are you referring to?

Are you having issues with Exchange Servers with Mavericks Mail?
Or Gmail's unconventional IMAP implementation with Mavericks Mail?

Are you already running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 and have installed the Mail
Update for Mavericks?

Hi Ronni,

Do you now if these problems apply to Gmail POP accounts as well? I had some

BTW, I have not yet updated to Mavericks.

Re: Restart Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni, Daniel,

I found the answer but I do not understand how it got that way or why. While I 
was looking for the files to move per your instructions I noticed something 
strange: com.apple.systempreferences.plist and com.apple.spaces.plist both were 
read only for my UserID. I only have that one UserID and have run Permission 
Repair many times. I have not used System Preferences for at least a year or 
two other than for my Screens and Desktops so I never noticed changes were not 
being saved.

Once I manually changed the permissions to Read/Write it worked fine...

Many thanks to both of you, great stuff!

Paul

Re: Restart Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

My machine is the desktop Mac Pro, 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 10GB memory, 
two graphics cards, one for each screen. I am running OS X 10.8.5 (sorry for 
the butter finger typing).

The right hand screen is my main screen with the menus. The left screen is used 
for the outputs of my programming efforts i.e. browser windows and other 
various display windows used by whatever application I am developing.

After a restart the screens are reversed, that is the menus are on the left and 
applications are running on the wrong screen.

In the System preferences I then have to move the menu bar and reverse the 
layout of the two screens. The apps still show on the wrong screen and have to 
be moved. All windows need to be resized as the menubar affected the sizes of 
the windows. I have large screens (1920 x 1200) so a fair bit of adjusting is 
required.

I also have four Desktops, each with their own set of apps to be used in my 
development process. The apps are all assigned to a specific desktop. After the 
restart they show up on random desktops, not always on the assigned desktop. 
When I Control-Click on the Icon the correct desktop is sometimes shown even 
when the app is on the wrong desktop.

My System has been doing this for a long time through many upgrades, even 
before 10.8. It is like the layouts are not saved or not restored properly.

Desktop 1 is always the first to display but the layout is incorrect as 
explained above.

Mission control always shows the 4 desktops but the apps are on the apparently 
randomly assigned wrong ones. I have been looking for where and how the info is 
stored but can not find anything.

I realise this is very long-winded and if you have no time to play with it, no 
problem. The Mac Pro is also acting as one of my servers so I never restart it 
unless there is a software update. 

Regards,

Paul

Restart Problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

I run a setup with two screens and 4 Desktops. My problem is that after a 
restart the system does not remember either the display arraignment or the 
Desktop contents. In other words I must completely rebuild the setup each time. 
I do a lot of software development and the time it takes to rebuild is 
expensive...

I almost never restart or power down, but it came up again this time when I ran 
the Combo upgrade to OSX 10.5.8. I followed Ronni's suggestions to the letter. 

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Paul

Mac Pro (mid 2010) 

OSX 10.5.8

Re: Mail question

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Sorry, I just replied to Blitto and his suggestion did the job.

I have several email accounts on my server (thelink.to) for various reasons. As 
I said I saw the 'Never' but did not realise it was for a different account.

I am always running the latest of everything and mostly Apple products, 
probably a bit fanatic about it...

Thanks for your assistance,

Paul

Hi Blitto,

Thanks, that did the trick. I looked at that before but did not realise it only 
applied to whatever account was selected, I thought it applied to all.

Still a mystery on how it got changed...

Mail question

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

My Sent Mail box appears to be behaving strangely. It shows only send mails for 
two days then they disappear. There are some emails showing for several years 
back from early August.

I have rebuild the Sent box but none of the recent emails shows up. Is there a 
setting to control the time sent emails are retained, if so I can not find it.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Paul

Hi Peter, Ronni,
 
Been in a meeting all morning, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Feeling foolish right now. I finally found the port-forwarding function on my 
router - they did put it under the gaming menu tab! All is working as it should.

Many thanks for your help,

Re: Applescript compile

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Roni,

Here is the script, it is intended to forward port 80 to 8080 for a pseudo web 
server I build. Running it uncompiled works and does not generate any errors.

try
set theConfirmation to (do shell script ¬
"ipfw add 400 fwd 192.168.1.9,8080 tcp from any to 192.168.1.9 
80" password ¬
"" with administrator privileges)

on error
beep
end try

I tried tell/end tell but that did not work.

Paul

iTunes Password

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

Strange one here. I tried to download a free app from the iTunes store and it 
complained my password was wrong. I have been using this password for sometime 
now, just under a year actually.

When I go through all the steps to change the password it will accept it, send 
me the email for confirmation. I follow the link in the email but every time I 
try to use the password it rejects it. Tried with several different passwords 
but keep getting the same rejection. I use the password format as recommended.

Can anyone suggest something to try?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Re: Power up problem

Hi Ronni, Peter,

Still no luck at all. I tried both suggestions and no change. I replaced the

Looks like I need to get to an Apple repair centre, there should be one here in 
Singapore, never needed one before...

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions.

Power up problem

Hi All,

Owing to some additional electrical supply being installed in my house I needed 
to power down my computers. All shut down properly, no indication of any 
problem.

After the installation my older Mac Pro (about 6 years old) refused to restart 
or even try. The light above the power on button does not come on, nothing 
happens at all.

Is there a battery or some other component that could cause this?

Grateful for any assistance anyone can give.

Re: Time Machine problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Problem solved! It was my fault all along. When I first upgraded to Mountain 
Lion there was an option to keep the old information. I don't remember the 
exact wording but I clicked 'yes'. Once I removed that file it reduced the 
amount needed for backup and it is proceeding at the moment. Approximately 1.5 
million items and 9 hours to go!

Thanks for all your assistance, you are, as always, extremely helpful and very 
much appreciated.

Wish it was later in the day, I could use a glass of 'red' .

Re: Time Machine problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Sorry, no real hurry. It is just that I spend 8-10 hours sitting at my Mac 
doing development so I tend to see each email as it comes in and answer right 
away. I really appreciate the effort you put in. I do run SuperDuper daily so I 
will not lose any important stuff even if Time Machine does not run.

The original install was an upgrade from Lion and Time Machine was working just 
fine at that time. It was only after 8.2 that I noticed the error message.

Have downloaded the 10.8.2 Combo, restarted, then the 10.8.2 Supplement Update 
and restart again. Repaired permissions. Restarted again.

No change to the Time Machine, same error messages. Also the Preferences for 
the screens, desktops and Bluetooth were lost after each restart. I looked for 
a .plist for the screens and desktops to trash them but could not find any.

Could it be something related to the Mac Pro? I have had some strange problems 
in the past that eventually disappeared on a sub-sequent OS X update.

Regards,

Paul

Re: Time Machine problems

Hi Ronni,

Thanks for the suggestions.

> old backups are deleted" selected?

It is not selected.

I did the restart as you suggested but the result was the same. I then removed 
the preferences file
com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, restarted once more and again the same problem.

I did notice another problem, not sure if there is any relation. These two 
restarts were only the second and third after the upgrade to 10.8.2. The System 
Preferences Panel seems to loose some settings. The first time after the 
upgrade the screen settings were not retained - I have two screens and 4 
desktops set up. The settings were all gone but I attributed that to the first 
start after the upgrade. Today again these settings were lost, both times. Also 
I noticed other settings such as Energy Saver and Bluetooth were not retained.

Probably no relation but it is irritating to have to rebuild settings that 
should be retained...

Regards,

Paul

PS I did Repair Permissions both before and after the upgrade, no problems 
reported.

Time Machine problems

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

My Time Machine suddenly gave up. The message is:

"This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 1.06 TB but 
only 998.49 GB are available."

The disk I am trying to backup has 453GB in use and 546GB free.

I have erased the Time Machine disk (Mac OS Extended Journaled), run Verify 
Permissions and Verify Disk (on all disks on my system), all to no avail.

Mac Pro, 10GB memory, mid 2010, OS X 10.8.2.

FM 100.1

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

That did not last long

Earlier today FM 100.1 went quiet. It seems to do this occasionally, probably 
owing to what I know is a relatively slow connection to WA from Singapore. So 
far it always continued after less than 1 or 2 seconds.

Today it did not come back even after several hours. This is what I did:

1.  Clicked on listen.asx as before. That gave me an error message:

Your input can't be opened
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://fire.wavestreamer.com:5185/1'. 
Check the log for details.

Retried several times with the same result. Looked at the log each time, great 
big file getting larger with each try, contents did not make any sense.


2.  Removed VLC and all it's associated files using AppZapper and 
reinstalled VLC.

Clicked on listen.asx and got the same error message:

Your input can't be opened
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://fire.wavestreamer.com:5185/1'. 
Check the log for details.

The log this time was shorter (8kb), still did not make sense. To me 
anyway.

Repeated 2 several times, same result.

Now I need a glass of Red to calm my frustration...

Do you know of anything else to try? Not sure if I can/should attach the log.

Regards,

Paul

Re: Safari problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi Ronni,

Thank you, thank you.

I just returned from a meeting, more than 5 hours long. Now I am relaxing at my 
desk listening to FM 100.1 with a glass of red in my hand...

As usual you were right on.

Regards,

Paul

Safari problem

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

By way of explanation, I am an ex-Perth resident, moved back to my hometown 
(Singapore) a few years ago. Ever since then I have listened to Curtin FM on 
the internet.

I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.0 (now 8.1) and from that time on I can not 
get the feed to run. I get a second or two of sound then nothing. As I spend 
many hours at my Mac (I do software development), I really miss having Curtin 
in the background.

In addition, many gifs appear to be highlighted in a pinkish colour that 
disappears if I download the gif by itself. Clicking on the page does not 
remove the pink highlight. Animated gifs either do not work at all or appear to 
be out of sequence and erratic.

All other apps seem to work fine.

My Mac is a Mac Pro Desktop, late 2010, 10 GB memory. Safari Version 6.0 
(8536.25)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Paul

Mobile me to iCloud help needed

[Paul K]

Hi All,

A long-time client of mine needs a little bit of help with setting up
iCloud.
It's now an issue for her because she needs to travel in a week and wants
to sort it prior to leaving.
I can't help as I am working full-time so I can no longer do consultant
work.

She is a professional person, friendly and courteous.
If anyone can spare an hour in the Fremantle area she will be most grateful.
Please contact me off list for more information.

Regards
Paul

External Hard Drive Icon Disappeared from Desktop

I have an external hard drive for use with my Mac OS X  10.6.8. Its icon (by 
whatever name I have forgotten) has
been found to be missing from the desktop. Not sure how it happened! How can I

Re: WordPress

[Paul Chong]

Hi Justin,
Your blog looks interesting. I noticed that you carry quite a few ads.
Mine is essentially non-commercial - no ads whastsoever. My whole objective is 
to share my life's experiences, travel,
photography, poems etc.

Everything you see in my blog is "Wordpress" materials including hosting for 
FREE. Of course, I can upgrade it
for which then fees are payable on an annual basis. The staff at "wordpress" 
are young & energetic & very professional
and problems solvers.

I guess it all depends what you are after. My highest hit in one single day was 
12,571 and todate the aggregate number of viewers stands
at 482,356 and have been encouraged to pen 394 posts/articles.

Cheers
Paul

Re: WordPress

Hi Justin,
I am but a novice & quite illiterate as far computer goes - technically 
speaking.
Despite that, without any tuition or prior training, I manage to run a blog of 
my own through "wordpress.com"

My blogsite is: http://p21chong.wordpress.com which I started in May 2009. I 
have over 480,000 readers
An encouraging venture indeed & it's FREE.

Wordpress administration provides whatever help that's required & it's so easy 
to get started.

Try it! Highly Recommended.

Re: Read Mail Still Appearing As Unread

[Paul Chong]

Hi Ronni,
Perhaps it's too soon to rejoice.
I still find the number indicator against the Mail and the cursor is still 
circling unendingly.
This unstop performance by the cursor ring has been on since I thought the 
problem was solved.

What's wrong?

Problem with the Mouse

[Paul Chong]

Please help:
My desktop icons refuse to open up with the mouse click. No response whatsoever.

Initially, my mouse  itself was not responding to command. It was dead.

I am a blog writer & without access to my desktop data icons I can do no work.

Thanks & Regards

Re: iPad & movies

[Paul Chong]

For the benefits of some of we oldies in our seventies & who are trying hard to 
catch up
with the technological advances, could someone please elucidate in plain simple 
language
the new ways of playing music or movies . . . highly compressed files , , , 
blue ray . . . recording
in multi-level tracks . . .&  new exciting media player?

I was told that the days of DVDs are gone & obsolete. It's multi-media player 
showtime!
In pursuit of nanotechnology, they are getting smaller & smaller & certainly 
very portable & mobile.

To greater days ahead!
Paul

With no backup & vainless searches as suggested by you yielding no results, it

Dear WAMUG,
I have a persistent problem with an unusual spam coming in various forms & 
sizes and they all pick this
same particular topic "Guangzhou - Venue of 2010 Asian Games" in my blog. This 
is most annoying & a waste 
of my time in control of their unwanted infiltration.

Enclosed below is a sample of such spam.

Your expertise & advice are kindly sought.

i†une Library Disappeared

[Paul Chong]

Dear WAMUG,
I used to be around before in the 1990s & thought I have learnt sufficiently 
enough to be on my own.
That would be furthest from the truth. One can never claim to know it all to 
stand alone. There are always
that require more heads. So here I am.

Knowledge sharing is a two-way traffic & I hope to be able to contribute as 
well.

I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 with an external drive of 1,000GB.

I had a whole library of iTune songs & music built & collected over a period of 
years. 

My problem started when I installed the new iLife 2011 because the capacity of 
my iPhoto was running low.
Without warning all my favourites tunes in the iTune disappeared. I searched 
everywhere without any avail.

What could have happened? Anyone please help & advise.

Regards
Paul

Re: I'm about to give up...

[Paul K]

For the past 3 years my job has involved moving mountains of disparate
email onto a centralised server.
IMAP has proven to be the simplest and most robust method to do this when
there is some diversity between 'ends'. Additionally it has consistently
given the best results in terms of 'mail state' ie read, replied-to etc.
Having said all that, there is no perfect results, just best ones ;)

Good luck

If another option might help you can use an IMAP enabled email account
(nearly all email accounts) to push all the messages 'up'.
Then back down again with the same account but into the mac.
Has saved me (meaning my clients) many a time.

Good Luck

Re: Using iPhone maps

[Paul Doyle]

Hi Chris,

I use mine for this sort of thing all the time. 

You'll need some sort of hands free device so the phone is not in the drivers 
hand. 

The hired GPS will probably talk to you and give turn by turn directions. Go 
for that if it's what you prefer. They work well and aren't hard to use.

I find it just as easy to position the phone so I can see at a glance when the 
next turn is coming up by following the blue line on the map.

Telstra coverage is rather good in VIC so you should be fine all the way.

Hope you have a great trip.

Paul

Ringtones

[Paul Willemse]

Hi All,

I have a custom ringtone that I have used for years on my iPhone 3G. Now that I 
have acquired an iPhone 4S, I would like to keep the custom ringtone. It is 
still in iTunes under ringtones but does not transfer to the iPhone when I do a 
Synch.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Paul
