where to find notification of mail sent by iPhoto
Hi all, I sent some photos by email from within Iphoto 11, they were sent from Iphoto, and were received by my daughter, but there is no indication in my mail sent folder that they were actually sent , is this normal, as far as I can see I don't have a record of when I sent them, or , is the record stored somewhere else ?

Thanks Ronni Daniel for your replies, I knew there would be a Simple answer !! I learn something new every day.

Choose iPhoto Preferences, and then click Advanced. Select “Automatically Bcc myself.” *You can also see whether or when you emailed a photo*. Select the photo, click the Info button in the toolbar, and look in the Sharing section to see to whom and when the photo was sent. Click the entry in the Sharing section to open an email you’ve sent, so you can view, edit, or resend it. (If you don’t see a Sharing section, you haven’t shared the photo.)

Re: Launchpad and System Preferences
Hi Severin, not the perfect solution, but you can Command/ click and arrange the icons in Launchpad how you want them arranged, ie the ones you use a lot can be on the first page of Launchpad, or, alternatively just drag drop them into the Dock Bill ( just learning about Lion !! ) On 26/11/2011, at 1:27 PM, Severin Crisp wrote: With Snow Leopard I had ALL the applications that I ever used as icons in the dock, a long line up but very easy and convenient. All my regulars were set as startup items and hidden. With Lion I am trying to go with the flow/modernise/get with it/update or whatever and use Launchpad. To this end only running applications whether hidden or not show on the dock. System Preferences is an anomaly. Though set as a startup item it starts and then vanishes whether set as hidden or not.

Right now. http://blog.agilebits.com/2011/07/1password-for-mac-betas-bring-universal-unlock-copy-to-clipboard-more/ Today we’re back with a pair of huge updates—1Password 3.7 beta and version 3.6 beta 35 of our extension—sporting some great features you’ve been asking for: • Universal Unlock: Now when you unlock the 1Password app, the new Safari extension will follow suit • Copy to Clipboard from the extension: Opening the 1Password app just to copy a password for a Flash site? Old ‘n busted. In the new extension you can now find a Login, click the right arrow (or hit your right arrow key) to view its details, and click the new “Copy” button next to your password for easier pasting • Go Fill/All Logins typing focus works again: After using Command-Option-\ to invoke Go Fill, keyboard focus will be placed in the search field to keep you going and filling as quickly as possible • Much-improved AutoSubmit: Go to System Preferences Universal Access Enable Access for Assistive Devices, and 1Password will perform much better at automatically logging you in • Auto-Lock settings now respected: Our new extension will once again obey your preferences under 1Password Preferences Security for automatically locking your data file • Lock 1Password from the command line: For the power users in the audience, you can now lock 1Password from the command line with: “open x-onepassword-agent://lock” If you need help upgrading either 1Password or the new extension, see this document. If you’ve never participated in our beta, please check out this document for how to do so an explanation of what it’s all about.

Re: Label addresses app.
Hi All, once again thanks to Ronda, Neil, Mervyn Giuliana, for their input ( always willing to help ) I shall be using apples Address Book for printing my address labels , as for the return address labels I have done those on my MS word 2004 ( much to my disgust) I am amazed that Apples Address Book, whilst it does almost everything relating to mailing , it does not have this built into it. I certainly don't want to us MS by choice .can anyone supply me with the email address of the appropriate department at Apple, and I will send it to them to see if they could consider putting it into Address book !

If the computer goes through the actions of attempting to eject, then reloading the disk again, it is possible that the case is bent at the CD slot. Use a flat screwdriver to gently (and later in my experience more strongly) prise open the slot and restart while holding down the mouse/trackpad. It took me about 10 attempts with one of my trusty Year 7 helpers to extract the recalcitrant disk. We discussed using tweezers too as the disk came to the edge of the slot then went back in again. When finally my nimble-fingered 12 year old got hold of the disk and dragged it out, we found some paper stuffed in there with it. This may not be your problem with your G5 (iMac) but it's worth a try.

I think this happened to me once, and I used a skewer to nudge a plastic lever that prompted the drive complete either its insert action or its eject action (at which point it figured out there was no disc). I'm not sure if that is good advice for your situation! There is another odd situation that can arise. If you have inserted a blank disc while iTunes is open, but then not burnt a disc with iTunes, then the rest of the computer loses track of the drive. The solution (other than rebooting) is to open iTunes and press the Eject button within iTunes itself.

Bigpond closing Firewall/anti-spam/anti-virus etc for Macs
Hi ! I received email from bigpond advising that that they are upgrading their bigpond security Products, but enquiring into this ,as below, it appears that they have made no provision for us Mac users as from 31 March 2008. any Mac users with Bigpond ought to make their feelings felt by notifying them that they are NOT HAPPY below is what transpired between myself and them for your information Their email to me ( shortened ) To help us stay on top of an ever-evolving array of internet threats, we're upgrading our range of BigPond security products. As a result of these upgrades, your current BigPond Personal Firewall and/or BigPond Anti-Virus protection subscription(s) will no longer be available from 31 March 2008. Instead, they'll be replaced by a single integrated security package called the BigPond Security Solution, which you'll be able to subscribe to monthly or annually. My question at the moment I have your virus/anti spam protection, as from 31 March 2008 it appears I will have no protection, what arrangements will you have in place for Mac users, are you making any arrangements for Mac users, or will I be left to my own devices after being a Bigpond user for lord knows how long ! Their email to me (shortened) Thank you for your email, my name is !!! and I appreciate you taking the time to contact us. I understand that you are querying the security services for your BigPond account. I am more than happy to assist you with this. However, In order for me to be able to provide you with the information that you require, can you please supply me with the following details so that I can validate your identity: - Full name. - Street address on your BigPond® account including state and postcode. - Date of birth. - Full telephone number including area code. details sent by me ( I only asked a question-why the above req'd I don't know) Their email to me(shortened) I have looked into this furgher for you, and can confirm that the Internet Security Pack does not run on Apple Mac.

Thank you This is certainly a possibility, and i have sent this feedback through to our products team for their consideration. I understand that this may be inconvenient and i apologise for this.

Hi Paul. didn't know that it made a difference what type of disk you put in, I just bought some Datastream professional CD-R disks. they are coloured yellow/ goldish colour, if that makes a difference,What do I need to ask for ? thanks Bill On 06/07/2006, at 2:13 PM, Paul Doyle wrote: Sounds like you may have purchased the wrong kind of disks. Does the label on the package specifically say that they are for ink-jet printers? Our last stationary supplier stuffed us around with this exact problem.

a funny thing happened !
Hi, running 10.4, G5, 1.8., had 10.4 open, working on some of the widgets that come with 10.4( don't know which particular one at the time ) all of a sudden a number of applications in the Dock was replaced by ? ( a question mark ) ie, mail 2.0, Sherlock 3.6.1, iphoto 4.0.3, Balance pro 5.6, Grab 1.3, Epson c65 printer. To get them back again I had to drag them out of the dock and replace them by dragging them from the original application. except the Epson printer which did not show up in Spotlight when I did a search for it, I had to re-install from the original Epson install disk, all now working ok. I did noticed that when the ? marks appeared Meteorologist 1.4.3 was updating in the menu bar, I don't know for sure but I am putting the problem down to this possibly conflicting with what I was doing. I'd be interested if anyone has had a similar thing happen, and was Meteorologist the culprit ( I've since stopped using it until this can be clarified.)

Re: Lookup Postcode
G'day Tony Ronda finally cracked my State problem in the address book, when I started to enter W.A. and the menu dropped down, one of the alternatives I could select was highlighted in lower case, changed it to the upper case one W.A. and hey presto rectified. Certainly shows to check the simplest things first !!! Hope you have solved your problem Tony.

Panorama downloading
Hi John Wrote I've downloaded the sitx file twice now... but each time, it decompresses to within 5 seconds of completion... then sits there. Just let it sit. Eventually it will complete - it may take a few minutes (one customer reported over 20 minutes). Exactly what happened to me, 10/15 secs Hey Presto, and it works.
