From VLH at HerringLaw.com Thu Jan 1 12:15:59 2009 From: VLH at HerringLaw.com (Victoria L. Herring) Date: Thu Jan 1 12:19:41 2009 Subject: [DM-MUG] Upcoming Swap Meeting == 1/27 Message-ID: I have checked around for options and received some suggestions [primarily the Urbandale Public Library] and will this or next week try to nail down a place. The general idea is that if anyone has 'stuff' that they want to give away, trade, swap, recycle, get rid of etc. they can/should bring it to the gathering == people can come to get things and people there can bring things and take things and work out things as they wish == but not just dump stuff there for others to haul away....Plan to come and 'hawk' your wares, pick up stuff....and take home [or drop off at recycling centers or Salvo] what you don't want or need. I have a bunch of Mac magazines and software and cables and the like and will bring them...failing that I'll probably 'freecycle' them....so now is a good time to go thru all the 'stuff' you have and bring it to the meeting. More details soon!!!! -- Victoria L.

You'll need to install Real Player (or update to the latest version) to play or stream .rm files. I notice that the site also has the same songs in MP3 format, which will play in iTunes. Right-click on the files (or control-click if you have a one-button mouse) and save the files to the Desktop. Open the files from the Desktop and they should copy into your iTunes library & play from there.

For instance, you can install a utility that will allow it to alert you when new Mail or any number of IM clients (e.g., iChat, Conversation, Colloquy) receive new messages. Firefox will use Growl to alert to updates. And there are many more. It really is an wonderful utility application for system alerts. Entourage, unfortunately, is a rather mediocre email client. While its support for standard email servers and accounts is relatively solid, its support for Exchange is only partial and tends to be flaky, largely because even now, several years after Entourage first supported Exchange, that support is still rather improvised (e.g., it uses WebDAV instead of Exchange's standard MAPI connection). In fact, there is no complete, native Exchange client on the Mac side as yet. Also, because Entourage does not utilize the standard MAPI connection, you have to alter the settings on your Exchange server to allow for WeDAV connections. In addition to all this, Entourage has a handful of other nuisances, including the fact that it stores mail messages as both individual files and in its proprietary database; All of that said, if you are determined to utilize Entourage with your Exchange server, you might check out the link below. It will tell you how to make the necessary modifications to your Exchange configuration as well as how to setup your accounts in Entourage itself. http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/mobility-client-access/accessing-exchange-2007-apple-macintosh-part-2.html Jeremy R.

Apple just won't support them officially. The first method, which I just found on the internet, is to open Terminal and run the following command: defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 Then mount the network drive, and you should be able to select it in Time Machine's setup. The second method, which I actually used successfully myself, is to connect the drive directly to the computer you want to back up and set up Time Machine to use that disk. So, if you're using a FW drive, plug it directly into the MacBook; if you're using another Mac, connect the two using FW and boot the second machine in target disk mode. Once you've set up Time Machine to use that disk locally, you can physically remove it from the machine, mount it remotely, and Time Machine will still recognize it. The secret here is that Time Machine adds a couple of hidden files to the drive that tell it that the drive is okay to use. As I mentioned, I use Time Machine without problem with a Western Digital MyBook 500GB USB2.0 drive plugged into a plain Airport Extreme. This is not an officially-supported solution, but it works just fine (so far). Jeremy R.

The iBook has been using the wireless connection to my external hard drive for a long time. We have had occasional failures on a particular backup but then they are fine. Now I have discovered that it hasn't been working for a while. I am aware that Apple doesn't support this configuration so help from Apple Care is out. CW Smith(used to be at Haddock) has a setup which works with Time Machine on several networked computers. The key is using a later Airport than what I have which means buying a new wireless. I also need a new HD so most of the cost of Time Capsule will be with I could spend with another configurations. There are a couple of other factors involved which lead me to consider Time Capsule as a solution. When I tell Time Machine to go to the backup it does so but the site has no backups --the drive also is empty when viewed in Finder. When I use your command in Terminal it doesn't show anything so I assume that all network drives are supported. I'm going to play with this a little on this cold day when I shouldn't leave the house.

My mini and my wife's Mac book have extreme cards. This works fine. I also have my wife's old iBook and when I look at the Airport in System Profile it just says it is an Airport card. I cannot get this iBook to connect to the network or even recognize that it exists. When I connect with an ethernet cable it recognizes the network and connects. Are the base station and the early Airport card incompatible? Any suggestions?

The first thing I would check, though, is the Airport Extreme's radio mode. To do this, open the Airport Utility on one of the computers that can see the station, select the Airport Extreme, and click the Manual Setup button. Under the Airport tab, in the Wireless section, there is a select menu for Radio Mode. Make sure that this is set to "802.11n (b/g compatible)." If it wasn't set to that before, set it there now. If it was, then I would suggest disabling the Extreme's 802.11n support for the moment. To do this, hold down the Option-key as you open that same select menu. A bunch of additional modes will appear below the original four. Select, for the moment, "802.11b only." Save the changes, wait for the station to restart, and check to see if the iBook can see it now. If you just set the station to "802.11b only," and the iBook sees it now, you might now be able to reset the station to "802.11n (b/g compatible)" mode. I've read that sometimes just temporarily switching the radio mode can convince the computer to find the station. Jeremy R.

This is a G3 iBook. I am not sure if it worked or not because of the password. A couple of times I had a message that the password was invalid although it was correct. The iBook needs to use WEP and the Extreme is using WPA Personal.

I've linked an Apple Support article that might help. Essentially, it says to make sure (a) your iBook is running OSX 10.3 or later and (b) AirPort software 3.3 or later. Apple suggests that, if your iBook does not meet these requirements, you switch the Airport Extreme to use WEP instead. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2594?viewlocale=en_US Jeremy R.

We plan to be there around 8pm-ish, wearing nothing by Apple sanctioned clothing. We encourage you to do the same. So if you've got nothing better to do tomorrow, come meet your fellow Mac enthusiasts and down a pint or two. Feel free to pass this invite along to anyone you'd like, this is quite informal and impromptu. The Royal Mile is located at 210 4th St, just off of Court Ave in Downtown Des Moines. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&q=210+4th+St+Des+Moines,+IA&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&cid=0,0,2295622623428213080&ll=41.586303,-93.621883&spn=0.007961,0.017402&t=h&z=16&iwloc=A Jim From rbowler at mchsi.com Sat Jan 24 15:11:08 2009 From: rbowler at mchsi.com (Ray Bowler) Date: Sat Jan 24 15:11:33 2009 Subject: [DM-MUG] Fwd: [DesMoinesIAMetroReUseIt] OFFER: Apple IIgs Computer & Color Monitor - Ames References: Message-ID: <55E4E4B4-06C0-4B71-9AFA-F62E81F56A71@mchsi.com> This from the Metro recycling group.

She is really not into techie things [smart enough but maybe not patient enough] but thinks she can do it herself. I told her I would send her a sort of 'best practices' summary and want to confirm my understanding is correct: (1) backup [I downloaded SuperDuper so she can do that - the harddrive she has is a 1T so I might have her partition it and do a double clone just in case...(2) repair permissions...(3) restart...(4) archive and install [i.e., which option would be best?] then to bring it up to date = repair permissions again, run Software update [or get Combo download?].. anything I'm forgetting...? She could take it to a Genius Bar but if handled right I think she can do it herself and that might also help her to understand how easy, really, it is... I think she has Entourage on her MBP but assume the OS upgrade won't affect things - or should I get a System Profile Report and review the apps etc. she has??? Thanks so much. -- Victoria L.

Thi way you have a clean disk to start with. A lot of people though use archive and install and are happy with it. Isn't there a Take Control book for this?

I'm a longtime Apple fan but just recently found out about the DMMUG. A friend invited me, and we'll be coming to the meeting tomorrow night. I have some vintage Newton stuff (a 2100, a 130, and an eMate) that I'll be bringing to perhaps swap. I'm hoping for maybe some MacBook parts (mobo, battery connector, hard drive), but I'm open to anything interesting. I don't play with them anymore and maybe someone else can give them a good home. :) There may be other stuff too. Looking forward to meeting fellow Mac fans!

It might be wise to bring a card table or other folding table for our stuff. If you don't then there is a large table at the back but I would suggest bringing something to put underneath your stuff so as not to scratch the finish.

We will keep meeting at Impromptu Studios [details on DMMUG site] until further notice...so far we've been good guests and they seem to be willing to host the group. Remember that it's in a warehouse building just south of MLK Parkway [go in front door and up stairs to 2nd level Studios] - easy to get to and parking is free. Thanks to those who brought liquids and cake... Next meeting topic? There may be a sufficient number of people with iPod Touches or iPhones to do a meeting discussing the various applications. And how best to use the Touch/iPhone so you don't get lost in all those applications [i.e., organization?] -- it'd be best to do some sort of panel or roundtable with several people discussing what they have and how they use it and just having a general discussion. Any other thoughts? We also need to think ahead for other meeting topics, so feel free to contribute ideas. -- Victoria L.

The wired (USB) aluminum keyboard is a full keyboard with number pad. I have been happy with the previous revision of Apple's keyboards (white, full-sized). The previous revision has the same layout with number pad for wired and wireless. There are also third party keyboards that I haven't used.

It has a blue/red/ purple backlit keyboard. The "media keys" for volume, previous track, next track, etc., don't work on the Mac, but the rest of the keyboard works as I might expect. I did have to swap the Command and Option keys. I would suspect that most USB keyboards will behave similarly: that basic keyboard functions behave normally, but extra "media keys" require Windows. I would also suspect, as I do with most peripherals, that companies don't say their products are Mac compatible because it's far too difficult for them to hook up to one and see that it works. ;) I've often mused that FireWire devices have the FireWire logo on them (for which they should be paying a license fee to Apple), or that other devices will have a QuickTime logo on them (also should be licensed by Apple), but there's often no Mac support.

I'm sorry that I haven't used the Hitatchi drives in a while so I'm not up on which models to pick, but here are the two things you're missing: MTBF: This is a rating showing how many hours of user the drive is expected to work before failing. Mean Time Between Failure. Enterprise drives are meant for servers and workstations that need to be resilient and be in constant use 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They have more durable components and have more metal in them (which allows them to spread heat out). Firmware: It's possible that this website where you are shopping has made a good buy and can offer three drives which normally would have a price difference for the same price. Often times there is a consumer drive meant to be sold inexpensively and then a performance model which may differ only in the firmware. One notable feature you often get in the performance line is "NCQ" which can make a dramatic difference in speed by optimizing the order in which data is written the drive. If you're into computer science NCQ is a fascinating subject. Often times the inexpensive or "personal/home use" drives are optimized for quiet operation instead of maximum performance. Because the parts are the same and only the firmware differs it's not too surprising to find the drives for the same price. It actually kind of irritates me when there's an "artificial markup" in these situations. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin, identi.ca and twitter From yanik at mac.com Thu Jan 29 20:41:43 2009 From: yanik at mac.com (Yanik Dhont) Date: Thu Jan 29 20:42:09 2009 Subject: [DM-MUG] Keyboard question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <5E346A5E-06BD-46B0-9864-9A1A7991B6DC@mac.com> May I suggest the iSkin products if you wish to protect your keyboards: They're actually on clearance now http://www.iskin.com/store/i2shop_clearance.tpl?page=protouch&cart=1233282897357408 I've also enjoyed keyboards from Adesso, especially the ergonomic ones. http://www.adesso.com/products.asp?categoryid=8 warm regards Yanik (aka Wingman) On Jan 29, 2009, at 2:37 PM, Jon Engelhardt wrote: > I did stop at the Apple store yesterday and picked up the wired > version, I already like it much better, seems like a good value for > $50!

One of these I gauged when I bought my 750 GB HDD is RPM, which is simply the rate or (spindle) speed the drive uses to access information, copy, or write information. Another is gauging by reviews if possible how easy the included software is to manage. the western digital hdd I bought came with software which allowed a backup schedule to be set up on a daily, weekly, monthly or custom schedule and it automatically runs. And with those back ups it can either allow select folders or what not. And just to be safe I made sure it was OS compatible. This isn't supposed to be a big deal for hdds since they are supposed to be like USB cables as far as function as long as you buy the one with the specific connector you need. I bought a maxtor and a lacie and they both seemed to die at relatively the same time. Western Digital has a reputation for quality products. I've been happy with mine. Also be sure to pay attention to the type of connectior your computer requires. 3.5" = desktop 2.5" = laptop maybe also iMacs IDE = older more traditional connectors. the average speed or RPM of most IDE harddrives is 5200. PATA = the same as IDE AtA = the same as IDE IDE/PATA/ATA = the same, it depends on the brand/seller as to how they choose to identify them. During the transition, consumers were getting confused with the package info which is the reason for it having many abrreviations in attempt to distinguish from SATA drives. EIDE is an enhanced EIDE and Tech shops authorized and certified to work on Apple products assure EIDE works in the same manner as IDE and the differences between IDE and EIDE are minimal if any different at all. SATA = new connectors (most Macs after 2003 require SATA) There are connector differences between SATA I and SATA II. be sure to find out which one your computer needs. I believe Sata II is faster. eSATA = a connector port enabling that drive to be housed in an external hard drive enclosure and connected to an eSATA port on a desktop (or laptop, but I rarely see laptops with an eSATA connection). eSATA is as fast as SATA, and in some cases faster. iMac require 2.5 SATA drives i believe, but am not 100% as I can't quite recall all my conversations with authorized/certified Apple Technicians This is the info I remember off the top of my head. You probably want to do a google image search if you are not sure how the connectors of IDE vs SATA (I and II) vs eSata look. 1 TB drives used to be anywhere from $300 - 500 range. I'm not sure what their prices have come down to. I considered buying one but ended up deciding the 750 GB was sufficient because the difference in price was too much for an extra 250GB. Hard drives touting (or is it tauting) video game performance are usually high end, more expensive, but sometimes worth it if video or gaming intensive work is needed. Also if it is an older computer you may want to visit xlr8yourmac.com or http://lowendmac.com/ I use Low End Mac a ton because it's usually written in plain non-techie English and highly resourceful. All computers (rather their motherboards) have a max capacity hard drive size and may not "see" the full size. I mention this because I had an older mac (1999) and found out it could only recognize 132 of a 160 GB hard drive. no big deal, but it can be a waste of money is all I'm saying. Hope this helps. If you have the model numbers and URLs after you narrow it down I'm sure we could look at them for you can give you a better idea. After you buy the hard drive, reformat it to your needs and preferences. If you have any inkling you want PCs to be able to access it, use the FAT32 or other windows compatible file formating option. --- On Thu, 1/29/09, Victoria L. Herring wrote: > From: Victoria L.

I completely forgot about that stuff. The quietness is a factor if you want it to be. And he's right about firmware. For most consumer needs and my own experience, the firmware isn't usually a big deal unless physical damage occurs to the drive requiring the drive itself needing repair. Like if you're upgrading your computer and the cat does its cat thing while you're answering the phone for a minute. An example would be if the connector pins got bent broken, or some such and the mother/logic/bridgeboard/PCB (green parts) needed to be replaced in order to use and access the stored data. I had this happen last year to a Maxtor (Which by the way Seagate owns Maxtor) which was my back up drive and had to cut my losses because I could not find any places which worked directly on hard drives, and many sources told me if I worked on it myself differences in the hard drive's logic board firmware of the old and the new hard drive logic board could cause problems or even risk data loss. In the end I couldn't even find the same model of hard drive with the same firmware, so it was a moot point. --- On Thu, 1/29/09, Matthew Nuzum wrote: > From: Matthew Nuzum > Subject: Re: [DM-MUG] Internal Hard Drives shopping > To: "Des Moines Mac Users Group" > Date: Thursday, January 29, 2009, 3:10 PM > On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 2:54 PM, Victoria L.

No tray enclosures mean you are limited to hard drives only. ones with a tray(s) you could add a dvd drive or other type of removable drive (zip, blu-ray, lightscribe, cd burner, etc.) assuming the removable drive had the same connector the enclosure would accept. In this case SATA. and word of caution, sometimes what is marketed as 4 bay is actually 3 bay, with the fourth serving as the bay's "motherboard" for the 3 hard drives you can install and also having the connectors to attach it to whichever computer you want via usb/firewire/eSATA. Some enclosures and external harddrives have problems of overheating. Such as was the case with MacMini drives. AppleTV is very similar to the MacMini. I'm not sure if it had the same overheating problem, though. Some enclosures have fans. Some fans are noisy. Some are not. Raid 0 and RAID 1 are a factor if you are concerned with using a basic server type setup in a home network or small business setting. Which you could potentialy do with the 4 bay no tray enclosure set up. Though I was foggy on the specifics of each to begin with and it hasn't improved since I'm in a line of work not requiring 40+ hours a week selling technology. .... Which brings me to, Circuit City closing because of bankruptcy. I know there weren't any in Iowa... But I'm disheartened because they used to have a pretty good reputation and it's the same fate CompUSA had. Which leaves Best Buy, walmart, the Apple Store, and online retailers for purchasing computers and accessories. Online retailers for electronics and computers is not good for us consumers. I like to see what I'm buying, and sometimes a 2D visual just doesn't do the job. --- On Fri, 1/30/09, Victoria L. Herring wrote: > From: Victoria L.

Sometimes i use the attachment hose on the vacuum or a hand held vacuum because I always forget to buy the canned compressed air, but want to get the pet hair out. To get ickyness off the keys I spray a paper towel with windex or another very mild cleaning solvent/glass/multi-surface and clean mmy keyboard with it. it actually works to resist the oils from your fingers and hands. Never run a keyboard under the facet and never submerge in a tub or sink of water. The keyboard drowns. I tried this when was 14 and the most computer savvy of my friends and family. Literally, the keyboard is never the same. There are people out there who have come up with elaborate methods of disassembling and popping off the keys to clean and reattach. This is not my personal preference. Those people report the process as 45 minutes from start to finish. For the scroll ball on the mouse, I use the same mild cleaning agent on a qtip or paper towel and move the scroll ball around, then i take a dry paper towel and move the scroll ball around to get the moisture off to avoid moisture build up inside the mouse. I repeat this until it works as it should. Otherwise I just bang the mouse on the mousepad a few times. this method worked for 2 years until i ended up googling how to clean it and tried my own method with the cleaning solvent. I also sent feedback to apple telling them they need to include cleaning instructions for peripherals. on non-apple mouses I know IT pros use a qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol. I didn't have rubbing alcohol so I just use Windex. For LCD screns I use a microfiber cloth. I'm not sure what agent to use... and it's usually just fingerprints anyways. But I'd assume you could use the same lens or electronics cleaner for cameras and televisions. There are spill proof keyboards, though they feel very odd to the tactile senses. Some of them roll up too. What can I say, I'm frugal. and some peripherals are not worth replacing unless necessary. $50 is alot of windex and papertowels ;) and I could get come coffee and cookies. :) --- On Thu, 1/29/09, Yanik Dhont wrote: > From: Yanik Dhont > Subject: Re: [DM-MUG] Keyboard question > To: "Des Moines Mac Users Group" > Date: Thursday, January 29, 2009, 8:41 PM > May I suggest the iSkin products if you wish to protect your > keyboards: > > They're actually on clearance now > > http://www.iskin.com/store/i2shop_clearance.tpl?page=protouch&cart=1233282897357408 > > I've also enjoyed keyboards from Adesso, especially the > ergonomic ones. > > http://www.adesso.com/products.asp?categoryid=8 > > warm regards > > Yanik (aka Wingman) > > On Jan 29, 2009, at 2:37 PM, Jon Engelhardt wrote: > > > I did stop at the Apple store yesterday and picked up > the wired version, I already like it much better, seems like > a good value for $50!

They were coming out as ultra portable hard drives and "large capacity pocketsized USB/firewire" drives. I was surprised they didn't become popular faster and thought they'd end up dying out as a standalone. I always thought MP3 players and iPods were glorified jump drives with an audio jack. Though I love my iPod. And I love that I found it at a steal of a deal. Didn't know about the detailed info on the 1.8" drives though. Good to know.

Most of us who have an anti-virus program installed have it so that we will not pass on Windows virus to other people. So my choices: Intego Virus Barrier. Very good, runs in the background and does its job. Virus definitions generally updated every month but more frequently if needed. About $80. ClamXav -- a free source program and the command line version is Clamav. ClamXav provides a GUI front end. One part of it watches downloads. You can schedule a scan when it will not bother you but you will not notice it anyway. You can also schedule downloads of virus definitions daily. This is free ware although he would like a donation if you want to make one through PayPal. I am running this and like it.

I just had my G-Drive Mini take a turn for the worse. When i plug it in via firewire 400, the power light comes on but the harddrive doesnt spin or turn on. So i tried opening disk utility, doesnt show up. I opened up terminal: cd /Volumes and ls.... Still doesnt show up. I took the drive out, hooked it up to a sata reader, still no luck. Before I send the thing up to a data recovery center, do you guys have any tips/tricks/last resorts I might try? Otherwise Ive lost all of my current photoshop web designs... not good when you have projects going on currently... :| Oh and hi, I'm Noah.
