ActivStudio files also transfer well between PCs and Macs. Was taking to a friend with DET connections today - when I questioned the choice of Panaboard the reply was "Becasue they were cheap!" Why Activstudio? "Lack of such software on the Panaboard" There also appears to still be some work to do to get ActivStudio working correctly on them.

Long time! Recently we had a new roof-mounted projector installed an a previous ICT Lab. The eMacs in this Lab are slightly older, they are a 700Mhz specification. When we attempt to plugin the projector into these eMacs with our iBook dongles we have no video output. We have tried various sizes of resolution but at the time we didn't get an opportunity to try change the hertz the monitor was displaying at. I've never had an eMac of his revision plugged into a projector and I presumed that it would be similar to most Macs that the screen would turn off and display blue as it adjusted the screen and output. These computers are running OS X 10.4.11. Does anyone have any ideas in regards to this?? Thanks!

I recently found out that some projectors use a very specific table of input values, whereas others (even similar models within the same brand eg BenQ) seem to have a greater range of tolerances. We have a projector which will work with MacBookPros, but not MacBooks. As far as I can work out, video cards have small actual variance to the stated outputs. The problem may be that the eMac does not have the right combination of reolution and refresh rate for the projector. Can you try swapping the projector for an older one?

Maybe a software update will do the trick? Installed Parallels and XP on my T4L Macbook a little while back. I find that Windoze Update is blocked at school (I guess all the boxes are pointed to DET WSUS servers) so I have to run it at home. Not a good solution for your bolted-down iMacs tho? :) You?ll find an installer for the latest version of WMP here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx Maybe uninstall the old version WMP before trying this install (Control Panel ? Add Remove Programs)? Hope this helps. Cheers, Rob E.

A friend's dad has bought a new Mac. (I presume 'new' = Leopard). I don't have Leopard or 'Numbers' so I cannot fiddle with this issue in order to find a solution. Would really appreciate any clues as the friend's dad is a Mac fan but the friend is not. Cannot let her win her Win argument! She told her dad he should have bought a Win :-(. The issue The dad has transferred his files to the new computer. At this stage I don't know what system the old one was running but I know it was OSX but pre Leopard. However, the new one has iWork and Numbers and he is unable to make it print 1 page out of 72 from a particular Numbers file. Instead it wants to print the whole 72 and it doesn?t give the option to only print one page or one sheet. I suspect the Numbers doc may have been an excel transfer. Is this about indicating to the computer where the printing should end like in AW you put a dot or something in the last cell to be printed? Can we do this with page nos. in the print window? They either can't find or don't see a print 1 to 1 option in the print window. Maybe they are not looking in the right place?

I've never experienced a higher resolution being needed for a projector but once I upped it to 1152x??? and it displayed straightaway!

The presentation has a soundtrack so 2 movie files are created. When I take both these files to another computer, either Mc or Win, the sound file doesn't launch. The movie plays without it. I have also tried selecting 'Mix Audio' from the Custom Settings in the Export area of Keynote. When I saved the presentation in the first place I ticked the box to copy audio into the document. The sound plays when I take the keynote file to other Mac computers. It is only in the movie form that I can't get it to play. The aim of the exercise is to get the presentation to play on Windows computers. Am I missing a vital step?

I have Leopard across machines but have run into various bugs, so did a clean re-install on a new Black Macbook, fresh installations of all software and updated, but when attempting to create the image using Net Restore helper (V3.44) it is failing almost immediately. The image begins to create then stops. I have tried to do this via our normal system, booting the machine off an external drive and saving it to a partition, this failed. I have then had a go at mounting via a firewire and creating that way with Netrestore on an iMac with heaps of space, failed. Last attempt was to mount via firewire again and drag the HD to Disk Utility and create a DMG that way still failed! My images normally run to about 11-12GB compressed. I checked the log in console and found this error: FAILURE_HDIUTIL: hdiutil: create failed - Operation not supported I have checked the Bombich site and Mike says something about debugging the HDIUTL which immediately scared me off!

I have a lovely Fuji Finepix S5000 which takes great photos. However I like the idea of sometimes having a pocket sized camera to take good photos too. Then both Elaine and I would be armed. Our mobile phones have cameras but they are less than adequate, quality wise, only good for fun snaps and not serious photos. A quick web search shows cameras like the Canon A470 (http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A470/A470A.HTM ) with " 3.4x optical zoom, a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and 7.1- megapixel CCD". This is advertised at around $130 which looks good. Are there any out there with Bluetooth? I can't find that function on any but the Richoh Caplio 500SE, costing more than $1000 @ http://www.shopbot.com.au/p-82051-1692264.html yet almost all mobile phones now have it.

Hi Greg, Given that it's a flash drive, then windows software may be an option too? Some options - Win & Mac - at http://www.wazmac.com/teaching_learning/software/bu_recover.htm Remember though that if you install any software (or copy any files) on the HD where the files were deleted from, you may overwrite them!

Yes, the big camera takes great pics, but when you are on hols and you bump into old friends at the cafe, wouldn't it be nice to just pull the little camera out of your pocket to take a quick snap? I bought one of the Sony "T" cameras for just this scenario. Very thin, and a big LCD screen. Takes great photos. They now have a 5x zoom, face recognition, etc, but they aren't cheap. But they do fit easily in a pocket. The Nikon Coolpix cameras are pretty thin too, and take a good photo.

Now it makes a "duplicate" for safety (in case the Installer fails, it will replace with the last good one - if all else is healthy). After restarting, the safety copy is removed, temp files cleared and yes, it only then requires "a little bit of HD.". POSSIBLE SOLUTION. Download the updates ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ ) you need. Load them manually on the Mac's in question - one at a time and then install and see if it's happy then. Works for me! Naturally check the priv's and stuff first in case it's groaning about something else!
