About installing Mavericks… Should we follow the same procedure as for Lion and

Hi Pat,

It is quite a bit different to Make A Bootable Install Drive in Mavericks.
There are a couple of ways to do it, either using Terminal, or you can use Disk
Utility, (I would not suggest you use Lion DiskMaker as it is still in Beta for
Mavericks).

The easiest is Using Mavericks’ new bootable-drive-creation feature Hidden
inside the Mavericks installer is a Unix program called createinstallmedia
provided by Apple to create a bootable Mavericks installer. If you’re
comfortable using Terminal, it’s a relatively simple tool to use. The program
assumes your account has administrator privileges.

Note: if you leave the Mavericks installer in its default location in the
Applications folder when you install OS X 10.9, the installer will be deleted
automatically after the installation finishes. So if you plan to use that
installer on other Macs, or—in this case—to create a bootable drive, be sure to
copy the installer to another drive, or at least move it out of the
Applications folder, before you install. If you don't, you'll have to
re-download the installer from the Mac App Store before you can create a
bootable install drive.

You need a drive (a hard drive, SSD, thumb drive, or USB stick) that’s big
enough to hold the installer and all its data—at least an 8GB flash drive. That
drive must also be formatted with a GUID Partition Table.

You will have to make sure that the Mavericks installer is in your Main
Applications folder. The Terminal command assumes the installer is in its
default location. You will have to move it back there after you copied it to
another drive or moved it out of the Applications folder as explained above.

Apparently the DiskMakerX program has been updated to work with Mavericks
now,…so that seems to be the easier way if you don't want to jump into
Terminal.
You can see more about it here as well -
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mavericks-usb-install-drive/

And the direct link for DiskMaker X - http://diskmakerx.com

All the normal back up, take care, be careful, not responsible if it goes
wrong,…etc etc,…warnings apply :o)

I just used the Terminal command from the above site and it worked great, no
problems at all. My support boot drive now has a very nice Mavericks installer
complete with self designed background picture. :o)
(though my USB drive now has a lot of partitions,…with al the installers back
to 10.6.3 and vanilla HD Boot drives,….lol).

Hope that helps.

Hi Stephen,

TechTool Pro v 7.0.1 works with Mavericks. If you are receiving the message
that it has not been tested for this OS - apparently TTP 7.0.1 was tested in
the final Developer Release of Mavericks!

TTP 7.0.1 application is programmed to give the message you received when it
sees any operating system beyond Mountain Lion.
They say they have been using this approach since TTP 5...
It doesn't make much sense to me or a lot of others, so hopefully Micromat will
change this in an update.

TechTool Pro 6 should not be used with Mavericks, you need at least version
7.0.1

 Hi All,

I don't think Apple are ever going to bring back the MacBook Pro 17 
unfortunately.
A huge amount of people have sent feedback to Apple (myself included of course) 
that we really need a 17 MacBook Pro for work/professional users.
But I don't think Apple will change their mind, once they decide to discontinue 
either hardware or software... They never bring it back!!

I still live in hope, but I'm thinking this is 'false Hope' though :-((
And Daniel keeps telling me, and reminded me when we spoke today... Its never 
going to happen Ronni!

 Off to say nice things to my 'old' 2008 one, which just makes into accepting 
 Mavericks...
 Backed up and all permissions verified and fixed.
 Checked iCloud for calendar and contacts syncing - thank 

Good to hear everything went well with the upgrade to Mavericks for you.
After taking almost 6 hours to download on my slow ADSL connection 558.0 KB/s! 
(since the Fibre cable was laid in our street  must have done some damage to 
the old 'rotten' Telstra copper wiring)... Mavericks is running fine.

Re: Apple Event roundup/ Mavericks

2013-10-23 Thread Daniel Kerr

Yes, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,…but I just don't think it's going 
to happen. (sorry)

I think if you want to keep using the 17 MacBook Pro, and you feel the 
hardware is running well, the best investment you'd spend on it to keep going a 
little longer is adding a Solid State Drive to the machine. I've done a few of 
these for clients of late, and the pricing is very good now for either 250GB, 
500GB, and you can even get 750GB and 1TB Solid State Drives. I added a 750GB 
SSD to my MacBook Pro 15 and it runs really really well. Well worth the money! 
And makes a huge difference! The boot time and Application running is so fast!!

If you're interested drop me an email off list and I'm happy to price up some 
options for SSDs if you want :o)

I have to go back and re-download my Mavericks due to a hiccup, but as my 
internet is bad between about 8.30pm and 11pm,…I have a bit more longer to wait 
for the speed to pick up again.
(That's another rant about internet, but I'll leave that for another time,…lol).

Glad your download went well and all installed nicely though :o)

Enjoy!

Kind regards
Daniel

Hi All
So my 1 hour download and install seems quick then!
No hick-ups except when the the estimated install time went from 48 minutes to 
70 hours and 8 minutes :-) then back to 7 minutes!
Thank you for the SSD suggestion, Daniel.

 Hi All,
 So no MacBookPro 17!!!
 Off to say nice things to my 'old' 2008 one, which just makes into accepting 
 Mavericks...
 Backed up and all permissions verified and fixed.
 Checked iCloud for calendar and contacts syncing - thank

Well there is some compensation - the Retina display can easily be run in the 
same pixel dimensions as the 17, but it does depend on how comfortable you are 
with the smaller text size. I run mine very comfortably at the compromise 
resolution of 1680 x 1050 with no problems at all. Still much more screen real 
estate than the standard 1440 x 900.

Apple Event roundup

2013-10-22 Thread Daniel Kerr

Well, for those waiting,…

Mavericks, available today,…and wow,..it's FREE!!
Will update any machine from 2007 onwards. Just need to update from the Mac App 
Store.
As always,…make sure to backup before to start. (And make sure all your 
Applications will still work.) :o)

Laptops upgraded.
Both the 13 and 15 MacBook Pro Retina Displays

MacPro announced. Now has pricing,… though I still didn't see a release 
date…lol. I could be wrong.

Updates to iWork and iLife. Free with new Mac's and iOS devices. 

Updates to iPads.
Now called iPad Air. (guess it couldn't be called the New New iPad,…lol). As 
per most the rumours, smaller, lighter, faster. ;)
iPad mini - now with Retina Display. Same A7 as iPad (and iPhone 5s). Faster, 
better, etc. ;o)
Available in November for both.

For more info have a look at http://www.macrumors.com
As well as http://www.apple.com/au or http://store.apple.com/au

The event was streamed. Seems they had a bit too much fun sometimes,….lol :o) 
So you can also point your browser to watch the event as well. Well worth a 
look.

Enjoy!

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Apple event roundup - prices!

2012-09-14 Thread gdorn

I've noted the price difference of the iphone 5 between USA and Australia and
others on the Apple stores

iphone 5
lightning adaptor

USA $199= $175 AU
$29 US = $25 AU
OZ $799 = $799 AU
$35 AU = $35 AU
S $948 (singapore?) = $603 AU $42 SGD
= $32 AU
HK $5588= 630 $AU
$238 HKD= $26 AU

Anyone got any thoughts an why there is such a price difference for the phone
when the accessories are fairly evenly/similarly priced?

Aren't these things made in Singapore or Taiwan or somewhere around SE Asia.

Hi Gary,

My guess is that you are comparing the price of a phone with a contract in the
US to the price of buying the phone outright in Australia.

2012-09-13 Thread Martin Hill

Lynn,
Apple will be shipping in October an adapter that converts from the old 30pin 
port to the new Lightning port so hopefully many of your old peripherals will 
still work. It does add an extra cm or so to the base of the phone so it might 
not be possible to use it in every dock, but it should work with all your old 
chargers etc

Re: Apple event roundup

2012-09-13 Thread Martin Hill

From my perspective, considering all the new features of the iPhone 5 like 4G 
LTE speeds, bigger screen (I'm looking forward to having just that crucial bit 
of extra width for reading long lines of small text in emails and web pages), 
LED flash, 8 megapixel photos, Siri, AirPlay screen mirroring, 64GB of storage, 
superRetina screen, HD video recording, wifi tethering, 802.11N 5GHz high speed 
wifi, FaceTime HD front facing camera, video stabilization, HDR photography, 
Panorama photos,  etc, I have no problems justifying a new phone or the $29 for 
the 30 pin to Lightning adapter.

In my case though I am coming from an iPhone 3GS and more recently an Android 
Huawei X1 smartphone so am in a different position than someone who has a 4 or 
4S who already has a few of these features.

 Lynn,
 Apple will be shipping in October an adapter that converts from the old 30pin 
 port to the new Lightning port so hopefully many of your old peripherals will 
 still work. It does add an extra cm or so to the base of the phone so it 
 might not be possible to use it in every dock, but it should work with all 
 your old chargers etc

It is indeed good to see that LTE 4G high speed networking is supported in 
Australia on Telstra, Optus and Virgin, but surprising to see that GPS 
turn-by-turn navigation is not.  

Looks like we'll have to rely on the directions feature in the new Maps app 
(pretty much the same as we have in the old Maps app) until Apple adds 
Australia to the list of supported countries.

No rumours on an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6... yet :-)
I don't see Apple going back to the original charge port.

Regards,
Ronni

 Hi ronni and all
 
 those who are thinking of upgrading to iphone5, think about all the $ you 
 will save from getting it, as you will need to get adaptors for all your 
 devices you got for your iphone4(s).
 
 Looks like ill only upgrade to iphone4s when the time comes in a couple of 
 months. taller and lighter doesnt make a huge difference to me, but the 
 adaptor does.

 lynn
 
 P/S: now that iphone5 announcement is out, any rumours of iphone5s or 
 iphone6? i can wait a couple years for the next one, providing that they are 
 the original charge port.

 I notice the SIM card is a Nano-SIM... The iPhone 5 is not compatible with 
 existing micro-SIM cards.
 
 I was waiting for the release of new iPhone 5 and ready to upgrade my 
 iPhone4S. But at this moment my Tigger Car is being serviced and the quote 
 for the service is $1,600 (which I did not expect), so iPhone 5  'might'  
 have to be put back down the list :(
 
 Especially as I will have to upgrade my iPad (original model), as iOS6 is not 
 supported on the original iPad.
 
 Not much to cheers about today,
 
 Ronni
