Re: 10.5.7 Update: what experiences?

2009-05-22 Thread David Moyle 
Hey

None at this stage I'm aware of.

WWDC at this stage will be iPhone 3(OS), not hardware.
Snow Leopard
Hopefully some new iMacs, only minor upgrades though. The form-factor is 
getting old now (2004/5) but not sure what they would change.

Laptops doubt it..
Tablets are still being rumored, not holding breath though..

Cheers

Is there any suggestion of new/updated computers with the release of

Perhaps the singing will improve with Snow Leopard...  :-)

I've tracked down the source of my iMic problem at least. It tuned out  
to be the Hear audio plugin. This is something which is apparently  
installed with Skype, and has been causing problems for quite a while,  
since at least 10.5.3 according to  http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7416555� 
. I have removed it and now Wiretap Studio seems to be working fine.  
At least it doesn't quit when I hit the Record button any more.  
Amadeus II also seems to be behaving itself now as well. Don't really  
care about the rest since I never use them. I'm very relieved since I  
was reduced to using Final Vinyl, a piece of software which is almost  
completely unusable for recording from vinyl records because of the  
ever increasing volume of the background hiss while it's recording.


Now perhaps Skype will work better as well. That was another casualty  
of the 10.5.7 upgrade on my system.

2009-05-18 Thread Ronda Brown 

Hello Michael & WAMUGers,

I'm having a problem with my email & I'm not receiving any WAMUG  
messages so I have pasted Michael's email so I can reply.

Michael are you using Airport to connect?
If you are:
Look at the settings in your active network environment. If there is  
only 'Airport', Add 'Ethernet'.
System Preferences > Network  - in the left column you should have  
Airport Connected (if you are connecting this way) & under that you  
should have at least Built-in Ethernet (Not connected)


You only have to 'activate' Ethernet, not connect it (if you are using  
Airport).


There is a difference between activation and connection. If the  
Ethernet icons are brightly coloured, they are "active" and you should  
have no problem. It is not "connected" until a cable is plugged in.  
Active means it is ready to be connected. If it was not "active" then  
nothing would happen when a cable was connected.


You activate and deactivate each network interface using the gear icon  
menu at the bottom of the list. When an interface is deactivated, it  
is dimmed.


See if that fixes your sleep issue.

Cheers Ronni

the 10.5.7 combo update my MacBook Pro will not wake from sleep and  
I have to press the power button to shut down the computer and,  
after waiting for a bit out of caution, power up again. Fortunately  
Word has retrieved documents that I had been working on but had not  
saved afresh before the computer went to sleep.

The computer was running on mains power in Perth CBD.
Steps I took before installing the combo update including repairing  
permissions before downloading, backing up using Super-Duper and  
using Time Machine, running repair permissions again before  
installing, quitting all applications before installing, restarting  
after installing and repairing permissions after restarting.
I have now set Energy Saver preferences to put display to sleep but  
never to put the computer to sleep

All those apps work fine as they are, Ronni, and they all work with  
the Microphone. The problems are all with the iMic device. The  
interface to the iMic in all these apps is supplied through Audio/MIDI  
Setup, and I think that something in the underlying frameworks between  
it and these apps is broken. This theory is supported by the fact that  
Finyl Vinyl, Griffin's own interface to the iMic, actually works well.


I agree with the Combo approach (see my reply to Philippe) but that's  
going to have to wait until at least the weekend.

Mail's Rules seem to be playing up. Emails aren't being moved to

2009-05-16 Thread Ronda Brown 

Hello Stuart,

I just tried with the the utilities on the HD.  All that happened  
was the blue barber's shop kept rotating.  Yes I did leave it for  
some time before quitting.


How long is "some time" ... How long did you leave Disk Utility  
repairing permissions for?


Repairing permissions in Leopard takes anywhere from 10-40 minutes,  
depending on what's installed and what's contained in /Library/ 
Receipts/bom/.
And If you haven't done repair permissions for some time it takes  
longer.
I can remember doing it the first time I installed Leopard on a  
machine, and like you, thought it was never going to work ... but  
eventually it did!

The repair permissions operation has changed in Leopard.

Under Leopard, Repair Disk Permissions must account for Access Control  
Lists (ACLs), a more granular approach to implementing file and  
directory permissions.  As a result, Repair Disk Permissions requires  
far more time to execute than under previous versions of Mac OS X.
Repair Disk Permissions also employs a new permissions database file:  
a.receiptdb in the Macintosh HD > Library > Receipts > db folder.
This file is read or updated whenever permissions are verified or  
repaired.


The stalling of the progress bar is happening while it's checking or  
rebuilding the a.receiptdb, in /Library/Receipts/db/.


To see what's really going on, open that folder in a Finder window,  
select list view, launch Disk Utility, select your boot volume, and  
click on repair permissions. Watch the Finder window flash files that  
are being read and checked against the current a.receiptdb file.

That's what's taking all the time and freezing the progress bar.
Once that's finished, the progress bar starts moving and the  
permissions are being checked and repaired.


Try leaving Repair Permissions to run overnight or sometime when you  
don't need to use that computer.
Once it finishes repairing permissions the first time, it does not  
take quite as long the next time.


Cheers,
Ronni

A thorough article of what is updated can be found here:




Note that if you have Safari 4 Beta installed, after upgrading to  
10.5.7, you should run Software Update again. When you do, you’ll  
see a separate 31.8MB Safari 4 Beta update. Run this updater (which

Very straightforward and trouble free with the Combo update on my G5
