Thanks. For some reason I had forgotten about that. I wonder if Randy (or
ScreenRecycler) had also forgotten?

But isn't that just valid for computers and devices on your local network?

Yes and no.... It works best for OSX to OSX and in this case if you enable 'back to my mac' in your iCloud preferences (assuming you use it of course), it will work across any network. For my use case i don't need to do this often, but it is useful now and then.
If you want to connect to non OSX systems, then i agree it is not so great, and a more standard VNC client might be better. Still, there are plenty of free alternatives so i don't think paying for one is needed. At least start out with the free options and see if they do what you need first ...

I agree with Chris, and I already said in this thread that I have used it with a "headless"; Mac.

Why not start with the VNC client built in to OSX ;) Its called "screen Sharing" and once you have enabled it on a machine, as above, that machine should then appear on other machines in the "shared" section in Finder. Just click on "share screen" at the top.

The OP was just trying to use a "lamp-style" iMac as a monitor to a Mac mini. And as I said early on in the thread, screen sharing will work. It might be a little slow (latency), and the image might be a bit smaller, but it will work on a headless Mac. I have used it on a headless PowerMac G4 Digital Audio, and use it as a mirroring monitor for my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver 2000 1.33 GHz.
So in the OP's case, there is no need for VNC, just some sort of LAN connection.

I was going to ask the Apple dude when he called me back, but he called so much later that I was out.
Brent, I think, suggested that to stop my Mac email password problem, I might remove email from being activated on start-up. This is an annoying although not serious problem.
Can anyone tell me how I might do that?
Thanks.

Sure. Go to Apple Menu/System Preferences, then choose the Users & Groups (at least in Lion) - maybe it is Accounts (?) in OS 10.8. But get the one that shows the black profiles of people for Accounts. Click on that. Then click the Login Items tab. If Mail.app is listed there, highlight it, then click the minus sign at the bottom of the list.

I did a search and the only thing that suggested there might be a converter was this ...
"The Print Artist software includes programs to manage, organize and manipulate images; however, if you want to convert a project to a picture file (such as a JPEG) to add to your photo gallery, tap into the export features of Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional to create digital files of your work"
That was from ...
http://www.ehow.
So who knows, it might work if you have either of those applications.

These are graphics that were included in/with Print Artist and Print Explosion Deluxe apps. Free is good, but I'm willing to shell out some bucks to be able to convert these graphics. BTW Graphic Converter can't handle it. I've googled the subject, but I don't seem to find what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't give up so quickly. I know it can be done--I set up a friend's MacBook Pro with a Comcast cable modem and Time Capsule a couple of years ago and it works fine. Sorry that I don't remember the details, but Googling turns up a lot of discussions about it.
I am sure someone else on this list has the same setup and I would be interested to read how they did it.

oh! I did not know that sorry, Sandy. I am still on X.6.8.
Now that the sleep issue is remedied, I want to upgrade.
Barry, before I upgrade, how would I know to use the option key? Is there a
quick tutorial that helps with people like me who will be upgrading? Or is
it on-line.

You just learned it, so now you know. I'm still on Snow Leopard myself, but I know it from reading messages here and on other lists, etc.

I'm going to be taking an international flight and was wondering….are any of the solar chargers (Voltaic, maybe?) good for charging a MacBook Air 13"?
It takes so little time to charge my laptop so it seems like it wouldn't take much to charge it without being plugged into an outlet. I don't plan on flying 1st class (where the AC outlets are) so I was wondering if I had any other options.
Does anyone know or have experience with this?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Dear Jennifer,
Many airlines today (i.e. - United etc) fly relatively modern Jets on their international routes. The Boeing 777s that I've flown on have TWO 110 V outlets for every 3 economy seats (business class seats have had that even on the elderly Jets, such as the Boeing 747). You can easily plug in the Mac's regular charger and enjoy using your computer for as long as your flight lasts. Some airlines even claim to have inflight internet service - though I have yet to see that.
That said - a solar charger would likely not work well on a plane (night flying etc).
Best and have a safe flight,
Henry

Does Photoshop Elements have plug-in capability?
Does the specific one you want to use have compatibility with Elements?
It may simply not be an option due to that.
