Re: File Compression

Hi again Clive, I forgot about using ColorSync Utility. If Preview does not reduce the PDF enough try ColorSync Utility. I remember using it a long time ago and it did significantly reduce the size of a PDF file. "ColorSync Utility.app" From finder select the "Go" menu, and select Utilities. I

Printers disposal

I have two ink jet printers, both not working probably because they haven't been used enough and the ink has gummed up the works. If anyone would like them (free) contact me at my email. 1. Epson TX600FW multi function A4 with spare ink. 2. Epson Stylus 1270 A3 John -- The WA Macintosh User

Re: File Compression

Hi Clive, Just adding to Carlo's comments. Open the PDF in Preview and then save it (as a PDF) again; the resulting file will usually be significantly smaller than the original with no difference in quality. Preview Save dialog includes, in the Quartz Filter pop-up menu, a Reduce File Size op

Re: File Compression

Hi Clive, The effectiveness of compression of a PDF will vary wildly depending on the content. Large PDF files normally contain a large number of images or a few very large images. If you have access to the source of the PDF you can choose to compress the images at a lower resolution and thus c

Re: File Compression

Hi Clive, Compression works principally by finding patterns of repeated bits and replacing them with an copy of the pattern and a count of how many times the pattern is repeated. So a file with a lot of spaces in it, or an mp4 video with large areas of the screen all the same colour will compre

File Compression

Hi OSX 10.4.11 g4, Trying to compress a 37mb file using archive does not compress the file , turns it into a .zip but the file size is the same size. What am I missing. Regards Clive -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives -

Re: Apple TV

Hi Jennifer, I saw your email looking a bit neglected so I though I would start off the reply chain even though I am probably not the best person to respond to this given that I do not own a TV; I will consider buying the Apple branded television rumoured to be coming out later this year or nex

Re: EyeTV to DVD

Hi Ronni, thanks for your reply. My EyeTV version is 3.5.4. When I open Toast I cannot see any Media Browser. Where would I find that? Cheers, Kev On 26/06/12 3:12 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > What version of EyeTV are you using? > > Toast has a built in Media Browser. > >

Re: moving files to trash

Hi Chris, Are you only deleting some files on the thumb drive or all the files? If deleting all the files use Dick Utility to erase the thumb drive. If only trying to delete some files on the thumb drive and they are not password protected. Have you tried Relaunching Finder? Option click & hold

moving files to trash

Hi Muggers I am doing some winter cleaning, going through a number of USB thumb drives, copying files to the HD then deleting them from the USB to free them up for work. However I have one that refuses to have its files moved to the Trash, and shows an error message: "The operation can’t be

Hi Kevin, What version of EyeTV are you using? Toast has a built in Media Browser. 1. Open toast 2. Select Media > Video > EyeTV, and drag items from the listing of EyeTV recordings to Toast Video window

EyeTV to DVD

I have been to the archives and read postings about this, but when I drag a 'manual recording' from EyeTV into DVD video in Toast 10, nothing is loaded. Any clues for me on this one? TIA Kevin -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives -

Apple TV

Hello wamug helpers, Since the sad demise of the Glyde St video store, we have missed many films we wanted to see. I am wondering if our solution is Apple TV. We have a Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4 GB memory running Snow Leopard and a NetGear wireless router 54mpbs per sec ADSL2 Modem Router DG834G.

Good Retina Display Review,..all 18 pages of it

For those still wondering about the new MacBook Pro Retina Display, this is quite a good article written a few days ago. Goes into a lot of detail, all 18 pages of it. But well worth the read I feel if you're not sure to go with the MBP-RD or the "normal" 15" MacBookPro.
