Finder fail

I have a back up drive that houses my time machine that un-mounts when I try to access file within. It is not every time but it does happen frequently. Sometimes it quits the finder as well. I have rebuilt fixed prefs started up logged out. Every time I leave the mac to sleep and then awaken it

Re: Video/camcorder purchase

Hi folks, I'd also suggest ( I have a Sanyo still/vid Xacti) the Canon SX 20 with full HD video & a classic 50x zoom. Bought it in the US for about $375 USD. Check it out, Ken On 28/10/2010, at 9:35 PM, Martin Hill wrote: Good to hear the Sanyo Xacti HD2000 has worked well for you Dani

Re: Video/camcorder purchase

Good to hear the Sanyo Xacti HD2000 has worked well for you Daniel. Sanyo has actually now released an even more Mac-compatible version of this camera called the HD2000A which boasts a Mac Logo and "Works with iMovie" badge. http://sanyo.com/xacti/english/products/vpc_hd2000a/index.html From t

I'm looking for someone to print some CDs for me.

Hi everyone, Is there anyone on the list with a good quality CD printer who can print me 10, possibly 12 CDs? I'm happy to pay of course! I have the cases and inserts all done, I just need the actual CDs printed, so it's not really worth me going somewhere that does bulk runs or short runs of th

Re: Video/camcorder purchase

Hi Marlene I'm going to "borrow" one of Martin's posts he had quite a while back in the archives,... We bought one of these video camera's based on his recommendation and it's fantastic! Great quality and works very well,... I think the one we got from memory was the HD2000. Hope that helps. Ki

Also Tom, Did you "Repair Permission" after you did the Restore? If NOT, do that FIRST before using the Terminal Prompt. Repairing Permissions might make the "Private" folder go 'Hidden' and you won;'t have to use Terminal. Cheers, Ronni On 28/10/2010, at 5:20 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > > > O

Re: Print to pdf from Windows - tip

I echo your frequent use of Print to PDF, Neil, a real convenience. I am similarly tied to Windows for eTax but have had no such printing problems with Windows XP under VMWare Fusion v3. All done for this year now - maybe Mac e-Tax will appear next year. Severin Crisp On 28/10/2010, at 3:0

Print to pdf from Windows - tip
