Hi Jim
The iPad has a card reader adapter but it does not behave as I would expect it to. Inserting a camera card causes a window to open immediately but the only options offered are to import all or delete all. Pictures are recognizable but postage stamp size at 30 to 35 per screen. If one or more of these is selected the "import all" button changes to "import" so that only the selected image(s) will be imported. Since the images, before they are imported, are too small to look at in any detail we are no better off. Further, there is no eject button and I have always been told that removing a card while it is active can lead to information losses. (Hasn't happened but …)
The "Air" meanwhile will let one look at individual pictures and manage them once the intrusive iPhoto program has been dismissed. This is my wife's toy and I have only just found out it works more like I would expect. She had not gone beyond the iPhoto screen and the "official" options there. Does anyone else find that iPhoto is a little too pushy?
Since both of these machines are equipped with Flash Memory rather than real hard drives we try to be careful not to add a lot to them as we would with the huge capacity of a regular computer.
I wonder if Graphic Converter has an iPad version?

I don't know about iPad handling of SD cards. Will need to try that. Graphic Convertor would be overkill, but yes, it's Mac. I would not expect an iPad version but who knows.

It was the case with the last 3 routers that Bell sent me in the last 5+
years. First one was an upgrade, a 2WIRE, then a replacement when it
blew, and now a dual-channel for their Pseudo-fiber optic TV service and
DSL internet service.
I say "pseudo," because without the details in their ads you'd think it
was fiber optic cable to your house, like Denver Dan's fabulous service,
but alas, no! it is only to the corner of my street, about 800 feet from
my house. At least it's better than the copper we used to have from the
"central station" 3 miles away. And since there was a problem with the
feed, I now have a new copper link from my entry point at the house wall
to the multi-bundle main buried out front, which connects to the fiber
link up the street.
While indeed a good idea for single residential customers, I don't know
if commercial office installations get that as well. In our case the
tech installed everything and pointed to the WEP password that was setup
as default and printed on a thermal label. There is no other account
info on the device; that is extra on customer info printed cards that
also accompany the device, ideally for your records to be stored
somewhere. That way if you want a guest hookup wirelessly or plugged in
directly, the password is right in front of you (unless you changed it.)
I have, so I have to go dig it up anytime I do any maintenance on the
settings. It's also in my 1Password setup for convenience.

To me, it makes sense, because you need a password to get into admin mode for the router. You are expected to set your own security settings. And pretty much everyone knows the initial user name and password for, say, Linksys routers. I'm sure it is just, as Jurgen said, to save you one phone call to get the password before customizing the settings.

The free app ImageCapture came with OSX and there you can preview and
download from a camera, phone or ipad to your mac or iPhoto area. At
least it lets you preview without having to do anything else necessarily.
... and thanks Jim for clarifying what the interface Camera Connection
kit is for specifically...

If the MB Air *is* directly connected to the AirPort Extreme where does the
"ethernet going through the power lines" fit into all this?

A new message appears with the attached photo - I can then add addresses and text and then send in normal way for mail. In the general preference for iPhoto i can choose iPhoto, mail, entourage, outlook express, eudora and aol. I choose mail. This is not in the accounts pane. I suspect this is a difference between iPhoto 9 and 11. The ability to send photo by e mail was added in later additions of iPhoto.

Another easy way to mail photos is to just drag them onto the Mail icon in your dock, but my system works as Bob has described. I have iPhoto 11 with Lion as my operating system on both my iMac & MBA.

Trying to do a migration for my son from his old G4 PowerBook to a new MacBook Air. We just got home with the new computer and he has to leave for his home (Utah) from here (CT) Thursday morning. Migration Assistant info on Apple's site states only 4 options for connections using Migration Assistant:
1. Firewire or ThunderBolt
2. Wireless (Wi-Fi) or Ethernet
3. Time Machine Backup or other disk
No FireWire port on the Air and no ThunderBolt port on the G4.
No Ethernet port on the Air
No Time Machine or other disk backup here, and the above port requirements would still not be satisfied anyway.
A note at the end of the Migration Assistant page says:
"Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 computers to OS X Lion over your Wi-Fi or a wired network is not supported."
Has anyone here done such a migration between these computers? It sounds as if you can't get there from here!
Thanks,
.................Mike

You will have to buy a thunderbolt to firewire adaptor and then hook up to your G4. You may also need an FW 800 to FW 400 cable. An alternative is to make a Genius bar appointment and have them do the migration.

Clone the G4 to an external drive. Connect that drive to the Air and
migrate from it.

If you don't have an external drive then get at least one of them.
Everyone loses data at some time or another and you will then really
want to have a back up.

I'll be doing this soon, or something very similar (iBook G4 10.5.8 -> MB
Air 10.7). I shall update the iBook's bootable clone and then connect that
to the Air using USB. I expect MA on the Air to recognise the clone via USB
as Intel Macs can boot via USB.
If this doesn't work, we have backups on our NAS which I can copy manually.

Have you started MA on the Air to see what it says? This *might* be
different to what it says at apple.com.
Do you really have no backups for the PowerBook, or are they simply
elsewhere?

My son's not awake yet, so I'm not sure about this, but I don't if he
has a backup it's about 2,200 miles from here right now. Not to
worry, though, because he will have one shortly, because I plan to
make one this morning using SuperDuper and an external drive and
follow the path you suggested in your earlier message.
Thanks, Otto!

See if you find a useful answer somewhere in here:
Here's a discussion of transferring things under Snow Leopard: <http://support.
Here's more, but for Lion: <http://support.
Here's one about CD/DVD sharing: <http://support.
It seems to me that if he made a clone of the G4 to an external drive with a USB port, he might be able to get this to work.

In the Sharing panel of System Preferences I turned on:
DVD or CD Sharing
Screen Sharing
File Sharing
Printer Sharing
Web Sharing
Remote Login
Remote Apple Events
I got the local IP address for my husband's computer (we are connected wirelessly via an Airport Extreme Base Station) and entered it (and his user name and password) into the FTP client, Transmit.

For me, under Fire Sharing/Options there are only two choices:
"Share files and folders using AFP" and
"Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)"
It does seem to me that there used to be an FTP option, but it sure isn't there any more.

I have only seen the iCloud System Pref on machines running Lion.

Yes if I am right iCloud is only for Lion or the Upcoming Mountain Lion.

IPhone4:
I'm in a game or on the web on the phone and want to switch to the "desktop" or Home or whatever it's called, so I double click the Home button.
But I don't go Home, I go to a new email page, or somewhere else, or I don't move anywhere.
Is there some way to ALWAYS go Home? Maybe change double click to triple click? Or am I doing it all wrong?

Why double-click?

Double-click in a current or recent iOS will bring up the rapid-switching tray.

On mine I get a new email message, or nothing happens, or maybe if I am lucky I get the different app selector, but never is it ever always the app selector.
I've completely shut down and rebooted. Full cycle charge the battery many times.

I have been editing podcasts on garage band for awhile. And suddenly there is a problem. I have the top track (small) and below it the same track (large, and you can see the sounds very large on it, so i can edit with it. Today, suddenly, the large track (the editing track) no longer shows the sounds very large, but it is as minuscule as the small track above it. What happened???? How do i get my large editing track back?
Please give an answer that's comprehensible to someone who is not a techie. Thanks.

I have a late 2008 MBP that presently has a 1 TB spinning HD and I want to replace it with a 240 GB SSD drive. For the time being, I want NOT be removing the DVD drive (to make room for the 1TB drive), so I need to make drastically cut down on what I will have on the SSD. This is where I need some help.
First, can I move iTunes to an external drive and HOW do I do this? I have a Music folder that has 30 GB which I assume is mostly old podcasts that I am inexplicably keeping.
Second, I have a Mobile Sync folder, which I assume is for all my iDevices, can this be moved to an external drive? How will I sync my iDevices in the future – or will this just be OK if I move iTunes to an external drive?
My OS X Lion partition on the spinning drive is 350 GB. After I get rid of some junk on there I can get it down to approx 200 GB, which includes iTunes. What is the recommended way to then "clone" this Lion partition from the spinning drive to the SSD? Should I use Disk Utility to shrink the size of this partition on the HD to a little less than the size of the SSD and then just use CCC to clone it over or is there a better/easier way?
Last, is there any special software I need to maintain the SSD is Lion?
Thanks,
Bob

Robert,
Not too long ago, I moved my iTunes music, videos, etc, to a different drive. I don't remember every step, but it worked fine. I think I may have "copied" my iTunes media folder to my new drive (using Finder). Then, I pointed iTunes to the new media folder on the new drive from iTunes Preferences > Advanced. I also checked the box to keep the iTunes Library organized. I recall reading that you should leave the iTunes Library and other such folders in the folder that OSX expects (User > Music), otherwise it may not function properly. Before attempting this, make a good solid backup in case it doesn't work. My move went without a hitch. BTW, I did it for the same reason—I installed a 240 GB SSD and wanted to dedicate it to the O/S, Programs and necessary files.
I'm not sure about the mobile sync folder. But I can say that I sync my iPad with iTunes and it works fine. Again, the iTunes library is on my startup drive in the expected location, but all my music, video and podcast files on located on a different drive.
I'm still using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, so I don't know if things are different with Lion.
