Hi Adrian The comments to do with Windows question has nothing to with WAMUGs faith or the age of the person. The response would be the same regardless who posted it, that this is a Mac User forum mailing list. I direct you to the first line of the mailing list page on the WAMUG website:-

Re: MacBook Air - A Serious Contender for Travelling Photographer?

You can't take your 27" iMac??? Why not? (Lol j/k) Yes the new MacBook Air's are fast coming great machines for a lot of things. One thing my clients noticed with the models I sourced for them, was that the 4GB RAM (Over the 2GB) made quite a big difference. So if you can go the faster model with

Re: MacBook Air - A Serious Contender for Travelling Photographer?

Hi Rod, I agree with Daniel, if you do decide to purchase a MacBook Air, max out the RAM and get the largest Hard Drive. You always need lots of RAM and lots of room on your Hard Drive ;-) You might find this article helpful in making your decision. Field testing the MacBook Air for photographer

Re: iMac Good Practices

Helping individuals with their problems is a special part of WAMUG, perhaps unique insofar as the extent to which help is offered. I praise the helpers. However, broader matters such as this thread and the recent desktop-clutter issue are more important to me. I echo Jennifer's thanks to everyon

itunes norwegian?

Hi Muggers I have just been to itunes store (Itunes 10.1.2 on MBPro 2.2ghz 4 gb ram) for the first time with a gift card I was given for chrissy. I had a look around at a few tunes and noticed under the 'buy now' a '8.00 Kr' for the price!!!?? I then went to the 'Redeem' menu to enter my

iTunes CDs don't play

I am finding that music CDs burnt from iTunes will play perfectly in a Sony Player but will not play in an older JVC UX-1000 system. The JVC machine is a 1996 vintage working perfectly on other CDs and it used to be fine with iTunes items. I have used two different burners, same result.

Re: itunes norwegian?

Hi Chris, Is it an English Gift Card or was it purchased in Norway? Gift cards are country specific. You can only buy from your country of residence and only while you are physically in that country. Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66GHz / 8GB / 1067 MHz DDR3 / 500GB Serial AT

Re: itunes norwegian?

Hi Ronnie Yes it is an English card bought here in WA. It seems my version of itunes on my MBPro has the norwegian content. It just really struck me why under the Price column, the 'Buy' has Kr instead of $? I cant see anywhere that I can change the language either! I open itunes then:

Hi Chris, Scroll to the very bottom of the home page of the iTunes store and you should see a flag -- in your case Norwegian. Click the flag and you will be presented with a page of flags to select from. You can then choose Australia. Cheers, Carlo On 2011-02-24, at 12:58, Chris Burton wrote:

Re: MacBook Air - A Serious Contender for Travelling Photographer?

Hi, and if you don't have the money to max out on the Air, the base model 11" with 2g RAM is exceptionally speedy for everyday use, and photos can be stored on an external drive, since you have two USB ports. My home machine is a 17" MBP 2.8ghz 8gig RAM and 7200 HD, so that's what I'm comparing
