Re: Update Office 365

[Severin Crisp]

I followed Daniels suggestion but cleaned out Office with CleanMyMacX first.   
All now seems fine, no updates needed.  We will see when the next Update batch 
arrives.   
Thanks for all the advice!

Update Office 365

[Severin Crisp]

I have High Sierra on a MacBook Air.  I have never before had any trouble  with 
the MSoft updates of Office 365.  The current update (16.23.0) apparently runs, 
downloads the update bits for Excel, Power Point and Word then halts in the 
installation - “…unable to download several update segments.  Try again….. It 
has continued to fail over the last 2 weeks. 
Suggestions please!

Hidden Space

[Severin Crisp]

I became aware of a reduction in free space on my MacAir, 250GB SSD, High 
Sierra.  Daisy disk shows 84GB of Hidden Space sure enough.   I've so far been 
unable to locate this except that it is in the system, total nearly 100GB.

When I go to iCloud.com <http://icloud.com/> it shows there.   F My F, and all 
other items, when I try to open them, go off and try for  a bit and come back

Re: RANT WARNING! iiNet NBN

[Severin Crisp]

I can not see  speak highly enough of Westnet, though they are in the iiNet 
fold.  Great, prompt service and fast action where needed.  I have been with 
them for about 20 years.

LAN

[Severin Crisp]

I am resident at Clarence Estate with my home a short way away on Mount 
Clarence where my wife is.  
I am on a local wifi network here.  
Is it possible to set up an effective LAN with home iMac as I had previously 
with this MacBook Air  on the single home network?
I fear the answer is “….not possibles!!”

Mojave/High Sierra

[Severin Crisp]

A little while ago I lamented updating to Mojave without a saved backup - my 
own fault and problem.   I failed to achieve a reinstall of High Sierra with 
all my bits so stayed with Mojave.  I was in luck, the latest update seems to 
have fixed all the annoying things that would not work or just staggered.   I 
am now a happy Mojave chappie!  With full backups!

Mojave/ HighSierra

[Severin Crisp]

I have an iMac at my home and a MacBook Air in the Clarence Estate nursing home 
where I now.live. 
They were both on HighSierra, and very happy!  Me being me I could not resist 
and I put it on the MacAir. I find that despite my understanding that 32bit 
apps should run as they do in  HS this is not so.  Other 64bit apps ( Word365, 
Freeway) are very slow to boot if at all.   
So I wish to revert to HS.  But, mea  culpa! , I do not have a saved Time. 
Machine or clone backup of the HS version, only now of Mojave.   An HS install 
refuses to grab anything from the Mojave versions.  Is there a way out of this 
, I suspect not.  Any suggestions welcome.  I am also very happy, with bowed 
head, to receive castigation for this situation.  I can only plead shortage of 
external disks to hand at my domicile.  
Living with Mojave will be annoying but not a disaster and I am sure it will 
improve with every patch.  
Severin Crisp. (In good spirit, if nowadays somewhat physically impaired)

Many thanks for all the advice I have received.  The page breaks are from the

iPhone 6 battery indicator.

[Severin Crisp]

I shut down my iPhone 6 at bedtime each night and reopen it in the morning.  
Often, though not always, on reopening it will come up with the dead battery 
symbol despite having been put to sleep with 40% or more showing.   A fresh 
attempt at restart may or may not yield success.  Several others have noticed 
the same thing and claim that using only Apple cables and never letting charge 
go below 50% will ensure continuous service.   
Fine to know but why is this so?

iPhone 6 battery indication

[Severin Crisp]

The battery indication on my iPhone 6 is erratic to say the least.   I normally 
switch my phone off at sleep time and on again at wake up.  TheBattery capacity 
in Settings says 96% of new.  
Last night at switch off time it said 36% and I mentally noted the need for a 
charge tomorrow, ie today.  At switch on this morning all I got was the picture 
of the low battery and need to charge - and it would not start.   On plugging 
in to a charger it did a start up and then showed the same 36%  .   I have had 
this a number of times and it is most annoying.  A warning or error below about 
10% would be fine.  
Any comments other than charge daily would be informative!

Recovering dates

Re: Changing ISP and porting email address

[Severin Crisp]

I had a similar simple and pain free Westnet, with whom I have been for many 
years, and iiNet.   Change over was easy.  A free new modem came by mail and it 
was only minutes to replace the old one.   On NBN day it just happened in 
minutes.   I had minor issues with ES time persisting on my VOIP phones but a 
friendly helpful Phillipino(??) lady quickly pointed me to the setting.  
I have FTN with max 25 in this area and I regularly get 20+.   
Well done Westnet, iiNet and NBN!

Re: Hard drive

[Severin Crisp]

Yes I switched to CCC from SD some time ago because SD did not copy the 
Recovery, now rectified.  Yes I have also used a clone as my running disk on 
previous times then CCCd it back to my main disk.   I currently have 1T used on 
the fusion drive and am figuring out how to do the split.   I will get there 
and no rush needed.

Hard drive

[Severin Crisp]

I have an iMac with a 1.5T hard drive made up of a 1T conventional drive and a 
500GB Samsung SSD.  For a variety of reasons I am looking to split this up to a 
500GB SSD system drive and the remainder on the 1T drive.  
I am wondering how to achieve this and need informed advice.   I make a daily 
carbo Copy clone of the 1.5T fusion drive but wonder how to proceed.  
Help please!

I have read several internet solutions but would appreciate further advice.

Mail passwords

[Severin Crisp]

I want to change the Apple Mail passwords for two users on 5 devices.  
What is the best procedure for this?   Internet information is sketchy.  
I assume there is no global procedure and the devices will all have to be dealt 
with separately.

APFS

[Severin Crisp]

I am running High Sierra on an iMac with a fusion drive.   This not a “native” 
Apple drive but was created by removing the DVD drive and replacing it with a 
500GB Samsung SSD which is teamed with the existing with the existing 1TB HD to 
create the Fusion drive.  
How can I check whether the SSD  is converted to APFS.   I never ran a High 
Sierra beta.

Generic icons

Together with some minor hiccups I notice that several apps are in the dock 
with generic icons.   How do I fix this?   
In times gone by there was a disk utility to attend to this but not in these

Mail password

[Severin Crisp]

I have a number of mail accounts with different passwords and am looking to 
rationalise this.  
I have looked at internet without being convinced by the replies.   Clearly I 
do not want to get this wrong!  
I am on High Sierra, what is the correct procedure ??

Re: Kindle problem

[Severin Crisp]

Yes, I did all that and evrything was OK.  Also checked that wi-fi and 3G/4G 
were connecting.  I was suspicious that two iOS devices were out but two 
desktops were functioning.  Time was the great healer after a long time of 
puzzlement on my part.

Kindle problem

[Severin Crisp]

MAGIC, I believe it was an Amazon problem which they have now fixed.   All is 
well except that that iPad, which I deregistered and then reinstalled, no 
longer knows which the downloaded books were.

I have an older model Kindle and we have Kindle for Mac on two iPads, my iPhone 
and two desktops.  They are all on a single Amazon kindle account so everything 
is freely shared.  This is a very smooth and trouble free system until today.  
.  
Today one iPad, on iOS 11.2.5, on opening Kindle for Mac, showed the usual 
opening screen then flashed to a library display then quit.  This just repeats 
at each attempt.  I have checked everything for all devices on the Amazon 
website and nothing seems amiss.   I then find that my iPhone6 is behaving 
similarly.  Both desktops are fine, library etc fine.  Because of my mobility 
problems I have not yet checked the other iPad and the original “real” Kindle 
but my betting is that the Kindle will be fine and the other iPad will not.  
In the meantime, I deregistered the iPad and removed the Kindle for Mac app 
then reinstalled it from the App Store.   Now on opening the iPad Kindle I get 
again the usual opening screen but no request to sign in to Amazon.
Has anyone any advice or input to offer please.

Re: High Sierra upgrade

[Severin Crisp]

Neil, I am afraid I am at the other end of the spectrum going almost instantly 
for upgrades/dates.   Only the old iPad2 is frozen in the past and the iPhone, 
iPad4 and iMac are up with the latest.   I always had a fondness for Snow 
Leopard, it was so stable and reliable.   Hope your well backed up processes 
proceed smoothly.

High Sierra upgrade

[Severin Crisp]

I started the latest High Sierra update on my iMac and after the beginning it 
came up with “installation in progress.  Calculating time remaining “.  That 
was half an hour ago and static and no time remaining estimate.
Should I just be patient?

Keyboard

[Severin Crisp]

My iMac keyboard is disgracefully dirty and I find it very difficult to keep it 
clean.  I am meticulous about no cups of coffee or the like within range.  
Advice appreciated on  1) getting it respectable again   and 2) keeping it that 
way
Many thanks

.dmg in Finder Sidebar

[Severin Crisp]

I have a 9GB .dmg Disk Utility created image of long standing.   It lives in a 
folder in my Documents and has been dragged to display in the Favourites in the 
Finder sidebar - fine!  I have recently created another such .dmg image, also 
held in Documents but the Finder sidebar will not accept it for display.   The 
only difference that I can see is the size - 9GB for the older one and 1GB for 
the new one.  I can found no lead to this misbehaviour.  
Help please!   

More importantly, my warmest thanks to so many super helpful WAMUG members who 
have pointed me in the right direction SO MANY times.  Warmest New Year wishes

Address book anomaly

[Severin Crisp]

On our phone, iPads and desktops I have 5 Contacts (Address) Books all shared 
and working fine.   Recently, by some unknown circumstance all the cards on the 
book in my MacAir are duplicated identically.  Card/Look for Duplicates insists 
that there are no duplicates.   I would like to fully clear out the entries and 
let it reshare but of course High Sierra security makes this difficult.  
Suggestions please.

Multiple prints from MS Word

[Severin Crisp]

Further to my first query on this problem my research has revealed an elegant 
solution which may appeal to others.  

1. from SystemPreferences/Printers and Scanners/Open Print Queue of the desired 
printer
2. Pause the printer
3. Drag and drop the files of the items to be printed into the Queue window
4. Go from Pause to Print
5. Bingo - it all happens and the order is preserved!

There are simpler ways to do 1. depending on your setup.  

I am a happy chappie with a prolific stack of nicely ordered printed pages!   

Severin Crisp


I have a series of folders, each contains a list of 10 - 20 single page MS Word 
documents, all of which I want to print.  
Selecting all those in one folder and going to Print  in the Finder File menu 
only prints a few (randomly selected!) members of the set.  How do I force a 
full print of all members of the files list, preferably in order?

Connectivity problem

[Severin Crisp]

I regularly connect my MacAir to my iMac to transfer files - this is a 
straightforward convenient process.   
Yesterday the connection failed and a new shared item shows on the MacAir.  
Information and the icon say it is a PC and its name is “home_network_ga”
Despite shut down of both computers it still shows on the MacAir this morning 
with the connection to the iMac being constantly attempted and never getting 
there.  Additionally it blocks the Apple TV connecting to my various Music and 
Film libraries held in iTunes on the iMac.   
What is it and how do I break out???

DVD player

[Severin Crisp]

When I changed my iMac to Fusion Drive the SSD took the place of the built in 
optical drive.  It is replaced by an external optical drive.   On inserting a 
DVD i get the expected error message for the Apple DVD player.  I would like to 
physically remove the DVD player and its preferences but of course it is locked 
in as part of the OS.   How can I do this?  
looking ahead to future system upgrades can I stop a reinstallation of the DVD 
drive?

Address Book/Contacts mayhem

[Severin Crisp]

I have 3 iOS devices and  2 OSX (High Sierra) desktops and all share the 
address book.   Following some recent family messaging mixups due to sharing 
information on single cards rather than having separate cards  (this is 
historical) I set about a clean up doing my operations on one or other of the 
two OSX machines.  This has proceeded fine apart from the fact that on my 
MacAir I now have four copies of each card.   I have not a clue why!  The 
“master” information held in the cloud  is fine.   I suspect the way is to 
reinstall OSX, maybe from the Recovery sector.  
All advice welcome

Re: iMovIe

[Severin Crisp]

Yes to all that!   But I can not open iMovie Library!  It is easier to update 
clip by clip than complete start from scratch.   If only it had “Step Backward” 
 commands like Photoshop!  
I agree, the crux is What Caused It.

iMovIe

[Severin Crisp]

After many years circumstances have forced me to learn iMovie whIch I am 
finding remarkably easy and its is very user friendly.
During this process I have twice had the following disaster whIch caused much 
gnashing of teeth and wild wailing.   I believe it happened from pulling 
or pasting a title badly or misplaced and the result was the title going 
missing and every clip in the rather long movie being reduced to 3secs!  
I was lost how to recover other than the brute force bit by bit method!   
I was at a loss how to use my usual method of backtracking on Time Machine.  
What should I have done? 
Severin

Re: Apple TV and Bluetooth Speakers

[Severin Crisp]

My system is effective if rather complex with two tv recorders and the hifi 
music as well.  They are all in a convenient cupboard while the TV is quite 
separate on a table fairly close to us.  The cabling is interesting and of 
course I have six handpieces, all of which are used!.   The sound from the 
recorders (and Apple TV) go through a magic box which is needed - the sound 
from our Panasonic recorders will not play via the Bose optical fibre channel, 
a Panasonic quirk fixed by the magic box.   The AV sound is fine though 
probably of lower quality and I was seeking the best.   The no go of the 
optical fibre channel was hard nut to crack - flashing light was coming out the 
end of the pipe but the Bose would not accept it though perfectly happy on AV 
sound pair.  
In a couple of weeks I have the joys of the NBN, though my current link is fine 
and Netflix is faultless.   
Best wishes
Severin

Re: Apple TV and Bluetooth Speakers

[Severin Crisp]

We have a similar problem; we are both suffering from a degree of hearing loss, 
they tell us it is something to do with advancing years!  
Accordingly purchase a Bose Solo system, not cheap, but it made a remarkable 
difference.  We now both get the dialog from mumbling Americans on TV shows and 
films and even Geordies are more or less intelligible!   
It was a real boon for us, though our sons when they visit complain of the the 
high sound level!  
Though this is not a direct solution to your stated split system need it worked 
for us!  
Best wishes
Severin

Re: Photos sharing

Thanks Ronni
I have multiple libraries but the default one that has camera photos

Photos sharing

[Severin Crisp]

We have five devices - an iMac, a MacAir, two iPads and an iPhone.  All five 
have High Sierra or IOS 11.  
Photos taken on any of the IOS 11 cameras duly appear on all five devices.   
When a photo is added to Photos in the MacAir it appears in Photos on the iMac 
but not on any of the IOS 11 devices.  
What have I not set up correctly??

High Sierra

[Severin Crisp]

I have now updated my MacBook Air and iMac to High Sierra - an effortless 
performance.   
Two minor things noted:-
1. Items in the Favourites of the Fides Sidebar were preserved but in a 
scrambled order
2. Startup Items in User& Groups were cleared out, except for MacUpdate 
Desktop!

Re: USB Hub

[Severin Crisp]

I believe my latest problem was a 2/3 conflict with a USB3 4T Pocket Hard Drive 
not being recognised on my USB2 hub.  I have problems similarly with an LG 
Optical drive which sometimes worked in the hub but sometimes did not.  
The price of ageing, my iMac that is!, mid 2011 model with only USB2 but 
gloriously still with firewire!  Fortunately  there are 4 USB2 ports and with a 
sensible rearrangement and discarding peace can be preserved.  
Many thanks Ronni

USB Hub

[Severin Crisp]

I have yet again wasted time on a USB device that does not like my Belkin 
powered hub and will only be recognised or function when plugged directly into 
a USB socket.   
What is the cause of this problem?   Is it the amount of power available or is 
it the interspersion of the hub or 
It would be nice to know exactly why?

Re: Disk puzzle

[Severin Crisp]

Thanks Ronni.   Some food for thought there.   Normally, after setting up a 
connection between the two it is done from the MacAir and on completion of 
whatever was being done I disconnect at the MacAir end.   Later in the evening  
perform some tasks on the iMac and then shut it down and I go to bed.   I do 
nothing specific to the earlier connection with the MacAir.   I will work 
through your suggestions later today or tomorrow.   Many thanks as always for 
this informed stream of knowledge!

Disk puzzle

[Severin Crisp]

I regularly “talk” between my MacBook air downstairs and my iMac upstairs both 
running the latest Sierra.  
When I connect from the MacAir to the iMac, via Go to Server etc a list of the 
iMac bits comes up correctly including connected external firewire HDs.  Among 
these is a 1.5T drive which runs a daily clone of my complete 1.5T fusion 
drive, not surprisingly it is called “iMac Clone A”.  
Recently an extra disk has appeared on the Mac Air listing titled “iMac Clone A 
1”.   It does not appear in Disk Utility on the iMac nor does it go away with 
shutdowns and restarts of both Macs.   I suspect there is a preference or the 
like that should be deleted - I assume it may need to be done on the iMac as 
well, not just the MacAir.

Mail problems

[Severin Crisp]

A few days ago I reported some Mail issues which are now cleared up.  There 
were several issues but the root of it all was having a mix of PoP and iMap 
accounts.  Now they are all iMap and with a bit of push and shove all is now 
well.  
Many thanks for inputs received!   
My next issue, not seriously important is whether it is better for us to both 
have the same or different Apple ID.   Currently they are the same.  Sharing of 
iTunes content is not an issue nor is payment for items.  Mixing of some 
messages is annoying and easy access to photos taken is essential.   I suspect 
the ideal is for separate Apple IDs and then operate as a family.   
Advice and experience welcomed !

Re: A Mail dilemma

[Severin Crisp]

Yes, I was aware of that Daniel - the iPad2 is on POP and the iPad4 is on IMAP. 
 
When I can get my hands on to the iPads I will fix that and then they will all 
be on IMAP.  
A bit chilly down here but all those Macs take the mind off it!

A Mail dilemma

[Severin Crisp]

The two of us have five macs between us - an iMac, a MacAir, an iPad2 mini, an 
iPad4 mini and an iPhone.  All was well until the recent advent of the iPad4.   
We both have the same Apple ID and separate email names jointly under the same 
ISP account.  
Previously all incoming mails, to both our email addresses appeared flagged in 
the list with the blue dot as “unread”.   I duly set up the new iPhone - real 
gem of an iPad! - with email only for Jenny who is in effect the sole user.   
For convenience and filing by the housekeeper where necessary (me!) the other 
four devices access both our emails.   Since the advent of the iPad4 mini, 
Jenny’s incoming emails no longer have the blue tag on any of the five 
machines.  I can edit the emails and flag them blue but how do I set that 
feature for all incoming mails.   My emails are still fine, but then they are 
not handled at all on the iPad4
Advice please!

Re: iCloud sign in

[Severin Crisp]

To clarify:-
I can sign in to iCloud on all 4 devices and my username and password 
are accepted on all.  
When viewing Settings/iCloud/Photos/Options on the MacAir and I  try to 
alter a setting, the setting is changed but asking for confirmatory PW it is 
rejected

Sorry I was not clear on this.  
Severin

iCloud sign in

[Severin Crisp]

I have 4 Macs, 2 iOS and 2 OSX.  On all four I can sign in and get in to my 
account - i.e. my email address and Apple password are accepted by iCloud.  
I tried to change one of the options for Photos on my MacAir and it will not 
accept my password.  What have I missed that needs setting up?

iMap

[Severin Crisp]

I have recently switched from POP to IMAP
I notice now in MAIL that I have the usual IN and SENT folders at the top of 
the display and a further set for each iMap individual at the bottom. These are 
hideable and are empty.  What are they?

That is a great philosophy, Ronni - I gave my back a meaningful lecture but 
sadly still need my wheels to get around!

Signatures

[Severin Crisp]

I have been in the process of changing from POP to  iMap, successfully I 
believe, except for my Signatures refusing to appear on outgoing emails.  
They’re there in Preferences and drag to their account but will not show
What am I missing?
