Maybe this subject has come up and I missed it but a couple of months ago, there was an necessary update to the Flashplayer to enable me to watch most of the online broadcasters. ?This seemed to be for Youtube, Fox, ABC, NBC etc. ?After this "Upgrading" occurred, the "Press ESC to exit fullscreen mode" message fails to disappear from the screen. ?I'm running OSX 10.4.11 and this message error occurs on Safari, Firefox and AOL browsers. ?Flashplayer came out with an update but the problem did not clear. ?What burns me is that the message fades correctly on my laptop machine running Vista. ?

Anyone else have this problem? ?I've tried looking on the web but haven't found a solution. ?It seems odd that Flashplayer has embedded this problem in my Mac software and cleared it from the Microsoft stuff.

So, I get to go to the IT Conference at MacWorld this year. Is there
anything that people are excited for this year? Of course, the expo doesn't
have Apple, but I'm not really going for the expo, but rather the networking
possibilities of the conference. I get to finally meet many of the
individuals that have mentored me over the years, many of which will be
presenting.

Had to share...

On Tuesday, I ordered a refurb 1 TB Time Capsule, among other things, from
Apple. Checked order status today during lunch and found that the Time
Capsule part of the order was cancelled with no explanation. I called and
spoke with a lady who determined that they had no more. Instead, they're
sending me a new one for the refurb price, and they're shipping it overnight
at no cost. Good service.

Good Morning,

I have the last version of the Airport Extreme and I am having issues with the wireless connection just dropping off and after a few it will just connect and work for a while and then disconnect again. I contacted Mediacom on the cable modem thinking it could be that and everything looks great on that end. I then reboot the Extreme and it will work for about a hour or so and go right back dropping connections. I have never had any issues in the past and this just started about a month ago. I have a newer Mac Mini connected to it as well as a older MacBook and a three year old Windows XP box.

Does it look like I will have to replace it? I do have the logs if anyone knows how to read that sort of stuff. I looked at them, but I am not well verse in the Mac aspects of networking, since my work only uses Windows and that is my bread and butter. Any advice would be great.

I had that issue with an older Extreme. I found resetting to factory  
results would fix it for a month (it was used infrequently), but then  
I'd have to repeat the process. I ended up swapping it out for the  
Wireless-N version, which solved the problem.

I'm about to take my Extreme to the store to be tested, but MediaCom  
has been having a lot of problems lately. I'm guessing that the  
Extreme will test out all right.  I'm also thinking that my experiment  
with MediaCom is about to come to an end.

Hello All,
Does anyone know where I can get a USB guitar adapter locally? I  
broke mine and I went looking last night to several music store. I  
got a bunch of blank looks for what I thought was a common device.  
Price is an object. Thanks Chris

I thought I saw something at Target or Walmart or some place like that. ?I take it you mean a 1/4" mono from the guitar jack to a computer USB.

Best Buy has that music 'store-within-a-store' at the Jordan Creek store 
and I think they have on in the University Ave store in WDM/Clive.  This 
link shows it sold out online, but I can't figure out if it's available 
or not in their actual physical stores.  You might try calling them?

Guitar Center?
Best Buy is now a pretty good bet too (as Matt mentioned)

Victoria, it's similar, but more specialized, set up for guitar input  
it has a 1/4" input.

I've always used more general interfaces.

I went to best buy, guitar center & pro music center on 86th and got  
blank looks. I know they used to have a couple different things in  
stock at CompUSA. I have a 1/8th 1/4 adapter so wouldnt the iMic work?  
Thanks Chris

The iMic says it supports microphones and line-level inputs with a 
selector switch, so it should work fine if you have a 1/8th male stereo 
to 1/4 female mono adapter (assuming the guitar cord is mono).  If you 
don't, then RadioShack used to carry those sorts of adapters, and I'm 
sure you could find one at any number of guitar shops, too.

I don't have an Airport, extreme or not, but I have had similar experience with a wireless. ?First, make sure you don't have a 900MHz phone around the area. ?Second, my power supply died on the wireless. ?I happened to have a replacement and it has worked perfectly since I switched. ?Could be the power supply.

Good Morning,

I have the last version of the Airport Extreme and I am having issues with the wireless connection just dropping off and after a few it will just connect and work for a while and then disconnect again. I contacted Mediacom on the cable modem thinking it could be that and everything looks great on that end. I then reboot the Extreme and it will work for about a hour or so and go right back dropping connections. I have never had any issues in the past and this just started about a month ago. I have a newer Mac Mini connected to it as well as a older MacBook and a three year old Windows XP box.

Does it look like I will have to replace it? I do have the logs if anyone knows how to read that sort of stuff. I looked at them, but I am not well verse in the Mac aspects of networking, since my work only uses Windows and that is my bread and butter. Any advice would be great.

James Corbett

Had my extreme tested at the Apple store Saturday.  Mediacom tech on phone had said it must be bad.  Tested out o.k.

Store "genius" said that Mediacom was having frequent problems and that the issue might be addressed by changing DNS settings.  Since I am not of the networking priesthood and don't know a DNS from a Higgs boson, I'll be hiring someone to restore my home network.

If I encounter further problems with Mediacom, i'll be switching back to Qwest.

You can change your DNS settings relatively easily. Check out the link below to find instructions on switching to Google's Public DNS:

http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

You'll need to scroll down about a third of the way to the Mac OS X section.

The directions at that link are applicable, even if you choose to go with a service other than Google's (e.g., OpenDNS). The only difference will be the numbers you enter.

For the record, I did this a couple of weeks ago when Mediacom was having trouble (again) after discovering  that connections which were already resolved (e.g., IM connections) were not affected by an apparent internet outage. Immediately, I was able to resume browsing normally. It should be noted, though, that this has not completely eliminated issues; Mediacom's network has been notably less reliable since their email "upgrade" around Christmas. Even with alternative DNS settings, I have experienced network slowdowns and outages ranging from a few minutes to a couple of hours. From what I've seen, though, Mediacom's consistent response to inquiries is either, "What problem?" or "We're working on it."

All that said, when your network connection seems to fail, make sure to note the Airport signal strength indicator. If your Airport is good, even when the internet is not responding, you should still have normal signal strength.

I contacted Mediacom on the cable modem thinking it could be that and everything looks great on that end. I then reboot the Extreme and it will work for about a hour or so and go right back dropping connections. I have never had any issues in the past and this just started about a month ago. I have a newer Mac Mini connected to it as well as a older MacBook and a three year old Windows XP box.

I just saw a USB to instrument (1/4") adapter at Target for $44.  What exactly are you looking for?

Hi,

I am trying to use the Google DNS server and have a question. I am  
running 10.5. When I go into Network . Wireless > Advanced > DNS there  
is an entry 10.0.1.1 which is grayed out. I enter the Google DNS  
addresses but cannot delete the one which is there. Is this a problem  
or not?

Ray:

Your computer(s) are receiving DNS info from your AirPort base  
station. You'll need to change the DNS settings on the base stn using  
the AirPort Utility (Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility).

I changed my settings this morning and it does appear to have helped.  
Just goes to show that if you have trouble with your Mediacom service,  
whatever you do, don't call Mediacom tech support.

Call or email me tomorrow if you still need help changing your  
settings. We should be able to walk you through it on the phone, or  
through iChat screen sharing.

Peace
CW

If you open your Airport Utility app, click on your Airport, then on the Manual Setup button at the bottom of the window. Then click to the network tab at the top, and you'll see two slots for DNS servers, about halfway down the window. In my case, these were already populated (but grayed out because the numbers are provided by Mediacom). I replaced them with the Google Public DNS IP addresses.

Actually, this is probably the preferable way to roll this change across an entire network of computers and devices (e.g., iPhones, iPods Touches, etc.) because the change will be pushed to each of these devices the next time their DHCP leases are renewed.

Also, you should be able to add the Google addresses (or OpenDNS, etc.) to your Network Preferences even with the 10.0.1.1 address. The system will check the first server and, if it receives no response, move to the second. The interesting thing here is that 10.0.1.1 would be a private address. So, unless you're running your own DNS server, it's probably just skipping past it anyway to the options provided to the Airport via its DHCP lease from Mediacom.

CW and Jeremy,

Thanks. I did this now I'll be checking it. I'm getting tired of

TidBITS#1014/15-Feb-2010
========================
   Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1014>

   Last week resolved a big unknown in the Mac community: Would
   Macworld Expo survive without Apple as an exhibitor? We were there
   and can confidently report that the show, while certainly different,
   was as vibrant as it has ever been. We identify the gems from the
   exhibitors who chose to appear, Tonya offers a peek at Microsoft
   Office 2011 for Mac, and Adam looks at the show in general,
   including a special discussion with Mac luminary Bill Atkinson about
   his new iPhone app and how the iPad actually predated the iPhone.
   Also in this issue, Glenn covers the hum around Google Buzz and
   speculates on a version of Hulu for the iPad and iPhone, and Doug
   McLean notes the release of Aperture 3. Lastly, notable software
   releases this week include Microsoft Office 2004 11.5.7, Google
   Chrome 5.0.307.7, VueScan 8.6.11, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility
   Update 3.0, 2009 Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0, and Mac Pro
   Audio Update 1.0.

Hi,

I thought I had asked this before but I cannot find the answer in my  
files. I am scanning and saving a series of negatives. They are  
scanned into PSE, edited and then I use "Save as.." to save them. In  
the save window the Picture directory is selected and then I select a  
subdirectory into  which I want to save the image. How can I get the  
"Save As.." box to open into the directory into which I want to save  
the file without the step of selecting a subdirectory?

I have it on my schedule, but also have a conflict. Considering that
no one has replied, and the virtual no show last month, I'm going to
suspect that this month won't be different. I hope I'm wrong. I was
thinking of walking over after my appointment, but will forego unless
there is already a group.

Oh, and I have a new Mac-related venture that I will be announcing soon.

Message-ID: <865f37f31002251011n1df6010s3ed6c4147ed1da70@mail.gmail.com>

I would like to proudly announce my new online radio show ?Talking Mac
with Jon Thompson? heard live Tuesdays at 8PM CST on
worldwidelocallive.com. The show blog is located at talkingmac.com.

I?m going to be talking about Macs, Mac users, iP(x) (iPhone, iPod,
iPad), and iP(x) users.

The ?users? part is key. If you are running your business on a Mac, I
want to talk with you. If you have an interesting way you are using
your iPhone, I want to talk with you. If you are a developer that has
an interesting app, I want to talk with you.

So, if I?ve said ?I want to talk with you?: please?email me at
show at talkingmac.com . We?ll schedule you on.

I?m excited, and a touch nervous, about this new venture. I?ve only
been on the radio once in my life, so I am entering uncharted
territory. I?ve got a few people lined up to work with me on occasion,
and am always looking for more.

Subject: [DM-MUG] SizeWell
Message-ID: <974011DD-9D29-4B2D-A8C3-AB29A3D13032@me.com>

Greetings Mac Folk,

I finally found a solution to a long standing Mac frustration of mine and I thought I'd share it with the group. My problem was with the green button at the top of our windows. Apple calls this the 'zoom' button and it is supposed to resize the window to fit its contents. Clicking the 'zoom' button again returns the window to it's previous size. I've always hated this behavior (because the content changes requiring a new zoom and unzooming back to the original size seems counterintuitive). All I really want is something that will maximize the window to be as big as it can be on my screen. Even more infuriating to me is that on a Windows box, the same button does what I want - it maximizes the window. Windows 7 came out with a few new window tricks - including ways to easily make the window fill half the screen (this is handy for setting up windows to drag stuff from one place to another). Nothing could be worse than having Windoze envy, so I broke out the google and started testing fixes.

There are a couple of solutions, but I think SizeWell is the best. It changes the behavior of that green 'zoom' button. By default, holding the shift key will turn the anemic 'zoom to fit' behavior into my desired 'maximize window'. In addition to this, there are keys that will tell the window to fill the right half, left half, top half, or bottom half of the screen. If you like, SizeWell also changes the way that resizing tab in the lower right corner of the window works. By holding down modifier keys, you can resize while retaining the window's height or width, or it's aspect ratio. You can resize the window so that it becomes centered on the screen or you can even resize the window by keeping the lower right corner fixed instead of the upper left corner fixed (this seems like a weird feature to me, but hey). It also has a 'blacklist' feature to ignore any software with which SizeWell conflicts. 

Oh, and it's free. 

If your appetite is whetted for some finely tuned window manipulation, you'll just need to install two things - SIMBL and SizeWell. SIMBL stands for simple bundle loader and it's a way to add code to software. This gave me serious reservations because similar ideas have historically been very buggy. After reading up on it, and using it for a month, I'm please to report 0 compatibility errors or crashes and the reviews back this up. SizeWell itself, looks like a Preference Pane when it's installed.   

SIMBL can be found here:

SizeWell is here:

Cheers and happy Macin'

Thank you Bailey Ford for your insight on the green button. It made me wonder of some websites I have seen that it doesn't fit my screen. Is that because the maker did not create to fit all screens? Or do I have to do something to fit it to my screen?

Also.

Can we use chrome on our Macs?

Yes, it works fine on Mac OS. On some systems Chrome is an awesome choice,
for example on my netbook where it is really really quick and the minimal
interface helps me put every pixel to use. On my more recent MBP with a nice
big screen and very quick processor i've not felt the benefits as much.
