Hi Kevin, I just checked my Safari and the Menu is static (i.e. does not require mouse to view) Strange coz I can’t see anything in Preferences or Menus that would vary this !

Re: Looking for a standard Apple wired full key board ?
Hi Kevin, I live in Jane Brook so straight down Roe HW then right onto Freeway then I will get the map out. I was thinking of dropping into the Apple Store at Garden City for something else for myself. So that could work out OK. Anyway thank you once again and I will phone before I leave.

Re: Next big version of the Mac OS ?
Mm ! So the decimal will be misused somewhat to achieve the new name ! Being OSX 10.10 Interesting. PS: Hi Bill. I am not quite with you re using the name “OSX 10.7.5” for the next BIG OS change.

Re: Email to group
I notice that since I went to Mavericks inserting recipients when sending an email (in Apple Mail) is different. I used to be able to double click each one from contacts but now that does not work.

iPad with Internet ?
Hi folks, A friend of mine would like to set her elderly mum up with the Internet & Email. The mum does not have a computer, so she is considering an iPad.

Re: Apple ID compromised
Hi Ronni, That was my first thought. But then I thought “iMac13,1” ??? I am pretty sure her’s is called “Sharon’s iMac” or something similar ! Unfortunately she is not very computer savvy and she is about 25 minutes away. Is there a simple way for me to get one of her kids to check her computer name ? I am not sure where to look.

Changing Apple ID for an iMac
Hi folks, In the last 24 hours I have brought my daughter's iMac from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I was concerned about how to do this on her iMac at first because she has never had an Apple ID. So first I set up an Apple ID for her. However when I started the update her iMac threw up my Apple ID so I continued using that (just to make things easier). Obviously I have used mine on her iMac in the past. It is now all done. But when I then updated a few more things for her my Apple ID popped up again each time. So my question is:- Now that I have set up her own Apple ID, how do I get her's to pop up when updates, etc are required. I have used her's to set up iCloud so that should be OK. But is there some way of adjusting things so her's is automatically requested (rather than mine) ?

Re: Vault File for 1Password ?
I must be a complete dope using AppCleaner for this one. I followed the instructions for installing and setting up 1Password 4 first. Then the final instruction was to uninstall 1Password 3 Extension first and then delete 1Password 3 itself. D ! Fortunately (because of my trusting nature) I keep all my passwords on paper in a very secure place. So I have now re-entered them all into 1Password 4 and linked the logins again. The annoying part is that I also lost all my software license info. It is all around somewhere but not as organised as my passwords, so no huge problem. I now have 1Password 4 syncing with iCloud so it is backed up. But every so often I get a message saying that "1Password backup failed". But this does not refer to iCloud. It seems to refer to an "on the Mac backup" It states in the 1Password user guide that these backups are automatic but does not say how to turn them off. Any ideas re this please ? I am waiting for a reply from Agile Bits re this but they are obviously very busy right now !

Vault File for 1Password ?
Hi folks, I just installed the new 1Password 4. Then I used AppCleaner to delete 1Password 3. Little did I realise that that would lose the "Vault File". Does anyone know the name of the 1Password Vault File please so that I can restore from Time Machine ?

Re: iOS 7.0.2 Update
Hi Ronni, I can understand your frustration. I have lost count of how many times I have been asked by family and friends for computer advice, then they either ignore it or go do something totally different. And that's fine coz I can't make them do anything ! But the most frustrating part is when they come back with a problem and ask for advice. I have started telling them "your decision, your problem" However please don't stop giving your invaluable advice - you have been a LIFE SAVER many times over.

Downloading already downloaded apps from App Store ?
Hi folks, When I installed iOS7 most of my Apps disapeared from my iPhone 5. Luckily the important ones are still there. I understood they could be downloaded again for no charge. However on the App Store they each have the Download Button greyed out and it states "Downloaded" I am guessing that they are not yet upgraded for iOS7. Anyway how can one download apps again ?

Thank goodness for WAMUG !!
Hi folks .. I feel a great need to tell you this ! A few months ago I joined a Mac Users Group in the UK just out of curiosity I guess. I won't say which one coz that may not be fair. WELL - what an "eye opener". I have been besieged by so many email posts inviting me to meet at pubs for a Mac Users drink together, invitations to go cycling together on weekends, trail walking and god knows what else. I honestly began to wonder where the Mac came into it. I was reprimanded for not replying to posts using the "correct email format" I was told to keep my emails short and brief so as not to waste anyones time. NO KIDDING !! I had to make a new Mail Rule to send all their posts straight to the TRASH ! So thank god for WAMUG - phew I am so glad to be home ! Well I never left really !

Re: Anything wrong with WAMUG emails?
Since we reminded posters that a massive annual fee of $30 is required for membership, many seem to have decided that the cost of 6 cups of coffee a year is way above their means. Consequently we have no where near as many emails these days. On 29/08/2013, at 12:41 AM, Alex wrote: > Hi Guys' > > just wondering if there is something wrong with WAMUG emails?

Re: Time Machine Hard Drive unmounting by itself ?
Hi Ronni, Partition Map Scheme is "Master Boot Record" Should I change that to "GUID Partition Table" ? And if so how can I do that ? PS: What a nuisance having to eject the drive each time I turn off the Mac (which is very night before bed). But if that is the only way then I shall do that ! I might have to re-institute the Time Capsule without using the WiFi on it.

Re: Time Machine Hard Drive unmounting by itself ?
Thank you Ronni, Drive Model is WDBBEPOO10BBK-01 I have formatted as Mac OS Extended Journalled (not sure about GUID Partition Table) I also have the Energy Saver settings as you suggested. It could be as you suggested re the very low power in sleep mode. My step daughter has an older Mac (about 2 years old) with the same setup for Time Machine as me. But she has a Seagate compact USB drive. And she does not have this issue. I now don't put my Mac to sleep when I leave it. I just log out instead. However I might investigate plugging the drive into my new modem router. It has 2 USB ports.

Re: Time Machine Hard Drive unmounting by itself ?
That could be what causes it Ronni. I usually put the iMac to sleep when I leave it for a few hours. In fact just came back to after about 3 hours and it had un-mounted again. I will try not "sleeping" the iMac and see what happens.

Re: Time Machine Hard Drive unmounting by itself ?
Hi Ronni, That item is already disabled. My Time Capsule and my old wired modem had both been playing up recently. So I replaced both of them with a Telstra WiFi Modem. So I plugged in this spare HD and switched Time Machine to it. I just can't figure why it un-mounts randomly like this ? I have the very latest OX on the latest i7 iMac.

Time Machine Hard Drive unmounting by itself ?
Hi folks, About a week ago I installed a 1TB WD Portable Hard Drive to use as my Time Machine. It has worked fine except for one point. Every so often I return to my iMac after a few hours away to find a message that I have unplugged the hard drive without ejecting it. I have NOT unplugged it. So I then unplug it and plug it back in again in order for it to re-mount. Has anyone any idea why this happens and perhaps how to prevent it ?

Annoying Mail trait !
Hi folks, I think I may have asked this before but cannot recall seeing a solution ?? I find the grouped emails in Apple Mail really annoying. Both my wife and I keep forgetting to turn the little arrow to see more emails in a group. Is there any way to turn this off ? I know you can Expand Conversations from the Menu Bar, but is there a more permanent way ?

Re: Problem with Airport Express ?
Thank you ever so much Ronni. Sorry I didn't get straight back - was in Busselton for last 2 days, very wet ! Once again - I will try this next time I am at her home. I am learning all the time - goodness me.

Problem with Airport Express ?
Hi folks, My step daughter has an Airport Express with her iMac (using Snow Leopard). Today the Airport Express began displaying an orange light and WiFi stopped. This happens sometimes with my Airport Extreme and I simply turn off the power and back on a couple of minutes later. It is fine after that. However this is not the case with her Airport Express. Switched off and back on a few times and still an orange light & no WiFi. I have ploughed through the configuration process but lost track of it. Too much trial & error is very time consuming ! I have transferred her internet connection back to Ethernet for now, so she has a connection whilst I tackle the issue with the Airport Express. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated please ? PS: The Airport Express is only there for her kids iPods and PS3 so no hurry.

Dropbox question ?
Hi folks, A couple of months ago I installed Dropbox because iCloud does not look after off site backup for my Word, Excel and PDF files. I understood that as I created or changed files in folders on my Mac they would automatically synced to folders in Dropbox with the same name. So I created folders in Dropbox using the same names as those I use on my Mac to save files. I have just discovered that neither new files nor changed files have been synced to Dropbox. Have I misunderstood how this works ?

Dropbox !
Hi folks, I started using dropbox about a month ago. I understood that if you changed a file that is already uploaded to Dropbox, it was automatically uploaded to reflect the changes. This does not appear to be the case. Each time you make a change to an existing file, you must remember to upload that file again. Is this correct and if so can this be changed to become automatic ?

Backups with Dropbox ?
Hi folks, I downloaded Dropbox yesterday. I have set up folders in dropbox for my Excel, Word and PDF folders. And have now copied to them. I am happy with iCloud, but it does not seem to want to be involved with the above files. Just one question please if anyone knows this. If I make changes to one of these files does it automatically update in Dropbox, or does it need to be uploaded again ? I miss the MobileMe backups; they were very handy !

Re: My new iPhone will not sync with Calender

Re: My new iPhone will not sync with Calender
Hi Ronni, Eveyrthing other than Calendars is working. Everything always has on my old iPhone 3. I just got the new iPhone 5 a couple of days ago. But I only noticed today that all my appointments have disappeared on the iPhone. They were there this morning. This happened after I plugged it into my iMac and performed a sync. I have managed to get them all back now. But when I add a new appointment to either the iPhone or the iMac then sync, It does not transfer to the other. I notice that my calendars are listed under an iCloud header in Calendar on the iMac. PS: This is a brand new i7 iMac. Does this do something different ?

My new iPhone will not sync with Calender
Hi folks, Everything else seems to sync except Calendar. I am trying not to use iCloud because I don't know enough about it yet. The problem may be that all my Calendars are listed under an iCloud header. Is there any way to change this or can I do something else to make Calendars sync ?

Re: Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?
Sorry Ronda - I must have been a bit vague. Had day surgery today and I am a little sore. When in Mail in SL I was able to select contacts by clicking a button. This opened the Contacts list. Then simply double click each address I wished to send to. As I did so each was placed into the TO box. I cannot see this facility in ML. So I do not have a prompt to help me place addresses in the TO box. On 03/01/2013, at 4:36 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > Hi Stephen, > > Not sure exactly what you mean or are trying to do.

Re: Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?
I just dragged it to the trash and then emptied the trash. Probably did the wrong thing eh ? If I reformat the Time Capsule will I lose my WiFi settings or are they separate?

Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?
Hi folks, At last I have my new iMac. 21.5 inch i7 with 16 GB RAM. Flippin marvellous. I tried setting up with my original Time Capsule but all I got was a message to tell me there is no room for this. I guess it wants to start again because this is a new and different Mac. So I deleted the largest file from the disk (can't recall it's name but there were only 2). It has spent the last 3 hours "cleaning up" with no indication that it is actually saving. Does anyone know what the correct procedure is it get it running with a new Mac ? Do I need to re format the drive and start again ? Will the "cleaning" up finish and then save afterwards ? MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. And I wish you all a happy new year (when it arrives). Regards, Stephen Chape -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: New iTunes and iMovie Audio ???
Hi again Ronni, Looks like a combination of things worked. I deleted that iMovie preference file as advised. Then downloaded and installed iTunes from scratch. I also noticed right at the end of my iMovie project a file with the yellow triangle so I deleted that. And now it all seems to be going fine. PHEW !!! Thank you Ronni once again for your invaluable help. For a little while I thought iTunes 11 had a bug that has upset my video editing past time !!

Re: New iTunes and iMovie Audio ???
I just tried to restore iMovie from previous version using Time Machine. This was before I saw your new email Ronni. In doing so I finished up with a tiny 2.5MB iTunes app that doesn't work. So I have deleted and must start from scratch. At least I will have a clean sheet once I delete that preference file.

Re: New iTunes and iMovie Audio ???
Hi Ronni, Yep. Tried all those things. This is really strange. They play OK in iTunes. I deleted them from iMovie and dragged back in but got the same thing. I even dragged some other music in but same again. I have searched iTunes and iMovie menus but can't see anything relevant. I may have to use Time Machine to get back old iTunes app. On 04/12/2012, at 8:22 AM, Ronni Brown wrote: > Hi Stephen, > > Do the music tracks play correctly in iTunes 11? > But not in iMovie when you drag it from the Music and Sound effects browser > directly onto a video clip in your movie? > > Did you change or move anything regarding iTunes music. > > A corrupted audio file or one that has been moved from it's original location > will do as you describe. > In iMovie 11 (9.0.8) these problem files are recognised by a small yellow > triangle in the audio clip bars. > If you Remove them, and then bring them back in to your project do should > have sound. > > Cheers, > Ronni > > 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" > 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD > > OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion > Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) > > On 03/12/2012, at 9:49 PM, Stephen Chape wrote: > >> Hi folks, >> >> I downloaded iTunes 11 today. >> Then a little later whilst in iMovie I dragged some music into iMovie in the >> usual way. >> PANIC ! >> The music clips have no sound !! >> I have checked volume levels, etc and they all look OK. >> >> Any ideas please ? >> >> >> Regards, >> Stephen Chape >> > > -- next part -- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: > http://lists.wamug.org.au/pipermail/wamug.org.au-wamug/attachments/20121204/0728d151/attachment.htm > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Settings & Unsubscribe - > <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug> Regards, Stephen Chape -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

New iTunes and iMovie Audio ???
Hi folks, I downloaded iTunes 11 today. Then a little later whilst in iMovie I dragged some music into iMovie in the usual way. PANIC ! The music clips have no sound !! I have checked volume levels, etc and they all look OK. Any ideas please ? Regards, Stephen Chape -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ordering new iMac from Apple Store Online ?
Hi folks, The specs I require are not "off the shelf" so what are the preferred methods of ordering ? I am concerned that if I order from Apple Store Online it may be delivered while I am not at home. Can a special order be placed at the Perth Apple Store and collected when ready ?
