Subject: [DM-MUG] File conversions online
Message-ID: <E0646EAA-B6A7-45AA-A940-DD38B7EE8652@mac.com>

Hey folks,

With all the talk about converting from one format to another, I  
figured I'd mention this online file conversion utility to the group.  
I just stumbled across this today, so I can't say how perfectly it  
works, but the idea seems handy to me. It's a website with 4 steps.  
1) send them the file 2) pick what format you want it in 3) Tell them  
where to email the converted file 4) Check your email and see if the  
conversion worked.

cheers,
Bailey

I hadn't seen mention of this on the list, so I thought I'd put it out
there in case anyone finds it as useful as I do.

There is a web site, relatively new but very mature, which combines Cool
Mac OS X Software with DIGG. Basically it lists software for Mac OS X,
complete with user comments, etc. which can be buried or promoted (- or +)
just like DIGG uses for articles. The primary list display also has a
badge, a la DIGG, which shows how many users actually use the programs.
After registering, you can click the 'I Use This" link to be added to the
people who use the software.

I've always prided my self on knowing the best app for a given situation,
or at least what the options are. I was both dismayed to learn there was a
lot of Mac OS X software out there I'd never heard of, and overjoyed that
I found a new resource for cool new Mac OS X software.

At present there are over 2043 programs listed. The site URI is:

I should have replied to the original posting to point out that this

Nope.

You could remotely control the Mini from the iBook using something  
like VNC or pcAnywhere or Timbuktu, but that's about it.

Thanks Bill, my son wants a more powerful computer and I had hoped 
the Mini would suffice and he could keep using his iBook....he wants 
to write music and use Garage Band...he doesn't need the latest and 
greatest so maybe we cna find an early MacBook or late iBook that 
will suffice...any ideas???

Message-ID: <2C880706-8462-4E3F-A176-026379EF4BF8@prairieinet.net>

Good Morning,

I just purchased the Epson R380 Photo Printer and I cannot add it to  
my printer list.  The install goes perfectly until I hit the add to  
printer list and it just won't allow it.  I am using an iMac G4 w/ 
Tiger 10.4.  The application icon opens for nano second on the bottom  
icon bar and then closes immediately.  All connections are secure and  
I'm stuck.

It has to be a software issue on my computer and I need your help.   
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thank You

Jon Engelhardt

You can use the Mini as a FireWire target drive, but the CPU in the  
iBook still powers the unit, and the drives are probably about the  
same speed in the Mini and the iBook anyway.

Why not get a cheap analog flat panel and use the DVI to VGA adapter  
that came with the Mini? Synchronize the documents or contents of  
particular folders by using Synchronize! Pro X, or something similar.  
A fast external FireWire hard drive from, say OWC, used as the boot  
drive of the Mini will noticeably increase the speed of the Mini and  
not require you to buy a new Mac. You could even use the flat panel  
monitor as a screen for the iBook when not portable.

Open Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder), choose  
your drive, or your boot volume, click Repair Permissions. When that  
finishes, restart. Open your Printer Setup Utility and choose Reset  
Printing System from the PSU menu. Set up the printers again.

Write back if that doesn't work.

So you repaired permissions and restarted? Have you had any other  
problems with your system lately? Apps quitting, freezing, other  
anomalies?

You could try fixamacsoftware.com's Printer Setup Repair. Make sure  
you get the right one for your OS X version. It's got a lot of repair  
options, just poke around. One thing that confuses most people is  
that each icon is a button.

"Tuesday Night iMovie Experience"

I'm going to show some short movies that will give you an idea of  
what can be accomplished in iMovie. Then we will demystify iMovie and  
show you how you can make some pretty cool projects.
If we have time, we will take it to iDVD. We will look at the basics,  
and I'll give some tips to make it easier.

Bring your questions, and be prepared to have some fun.

If anyone wants to try their hand at moving making, or have questions  
about iMovie or iDVD, I will be at Haddock Computer tomorrow  
afternoon, starting at 1:00. I'll be glad to help with any issues, or  
just get you started.

I found the presentation last night really interesting.  My wife  
turns fifty on 5 December, and I've been struggling over a special  
gift.  What I might try doing now is to make a "movie" to mark the  
event.

I have approached making long slideshows from either Keynote or  
iPhoto, and then using QuickTime to add a precise sound track.  Last  
night it was obvious to me that iMovie has its roots in QuickTime  
Pro, but has a lot more features available.

As Holly said last night, sometimes you just need to start working  
with the software to figure out how to use it -- but I do appreciate  
her giving me a leg up.  The creative overview was terrific.

I am so jealous of you all for being there....can I assume some wise 
soul recorded this and that we can see a podcast or webcast or buy 
the DVD???  Or have notes uploaded to DM MUG site???  :)

Good Evening,

	I was wondering if there was something I can download or a site to go 
to that would add more words for the spell check feature in mail. Right 
now I am using Panther 10.3.9 and my mail client is mail 1.3.1. Thanks 
for the information!

Hi there!
Just imported user from another hard drive using Migrate assistant.  
Now Hard Drives do not show up at all. Not on desktop or Column view.  
Preferences set to show hard drives.
Hard Drives show up on Disk Utility and I can select them in start-up  
disk utility. There are two firewire and one internal drive. All same  
symptoms. OS 10.4.8 The drives will start up just fine. Even the  
drive I am started up from is invisible.
I have repaired disk permissions and repaired all disks using disk  
utility.
If I search for the drive names using spotlight they are found  
sometimes as folders. It will locate files on the drives and I can  
navigate to them that way. I can access the files on them. I can't  
save files to them. When they do show up in the list they are greyed  
out.
Thanks for your help.
Robert

Message-ID: <12FC00A1-8455-4EA7-860C-E7D200DF3931@mchsi.com>


Hi Everyone,

We're in the process of upgrading to all gigabit so I have a  
perfectly good 16 port BayNetworks BayStack 350T 10/100 autosense  
switch that I'd be happy to donate to a good cause. The switch has  
the most recent firmware version and a paper copy of the manual.

Not certain how/if to limit the definition of "good cause" but drop  
me a note if you're interested.

Thanks, Doug

What happens if you boot up in Safe Mode? (hold Shift key on startup  
until you see the Apple).

Run Repair permissions from Disk Utility. Then download and run the  
10.4.8 Combo update. Lastly, if that doesn't work, re-install Mac OS  
X using Archive and Install preserving users and network settings  
(see the Options button in the installer). These are the quickest and  
also most comprehensive, though still not guaranteed, methods of  
removing system problems from the equation.

If this were from another user that you still have access to, I'd  
probably consider wiping the drive, re-installing OS X clean and  
testing it for a bit. Then migrate users again. This time, however,  
you might consider creating an Admin user to test initially. Then you  
can drop in the 2nd user account and keep it separated. This way you  
can tell if it's specific to each user account or still something  
affecting the overall system.
