800k Floppies can they be made?

Hi,
Well I have a few old macs all working apart from my SE, I took it into my local mac store and they recommended getting some system 6.0.8 disks for it, but they had to be 800k floppy's.
They also mentioned that with a non X mac you are able to make 800k floppy's out of normal ones? Is this true and if so how do I do it?
Thanks

Hi,
I hope that you do not mind the intervention.
A 2DD (DSDD) diskette is normally needed for the 800K Mac format. If it is absolutely impossible to locate one, you could try a plain HD diskette with the extra square hole (the one without a slider) covered by a piece of tape. Please note that the magnetic materials are different though, so do expect errors.
System 6.0.x can be found here.
In order to create correctly sector-copied disks from 800K disk images, use Disk Copy 4.2 (the Make A Copy button) or 6.3.3 (the Make a Floppy command under the Utilities menu) on a Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive. Neither a USB nor a PC floppy drive will work with the special 800K format (requires variable speed).

Black jpegs - can they be made to come alive again?

I have a lot of black & white jpeg photos that must have been exported from photoshop in grayscale format as they only show up in iphoto 08 as black thumbnails and blotched when full size.
Is there some way I can add whatever is necessary to make them work in iphoto 08? Would they show properly in Aperture 2.0?

There's a way you can convert those files to sRGB in the iPhoto library somewhat automatically.
1 - download and run the demo version of iView MediaProo to catalog the library. See the first part of Tutorial #1 .
2 - in the Catalog Fields pane open the Color Profile area and click on the button next to the Dot Gain 20% (that's the grayscale) line. This will select all of the photos in the library that are grayscale, both originals and thumbnails.
3 - do a Command+A to select all photos and go to the Action->Manage Color Profiles... menu.
4 - in the next window select Remove embedded profile and click OK.
5 - with the files still selected go to the Action->Convert Image Files menu option.,
6 - in the next window select the following properties:
Size: use image size
Settings: Color and Quality: best
Resolution: use image resolution.
Files: replace original files.
7 - click Convert.
When that's done the original file will display OK but the thumbnail will not. You'll have to launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options to rebuild the thumbnails and get all of your photos displaying as they should.
I just ran that on a test library and it did convert the original and thumbnail files OK.

Calendars - Can they be made with Aperture 2.1.4

Can't seem to figure out how - if you can at all

I believe, after three years of ordering calendars, that you have to work through iPhoto. Happily, iPhoto can now browse the Aperture library.

May sound silly, the icons at the bottom of the page can they be made bigger or smaller and how

how do you change the icons at the bottom of the dock, make them bigger or smaller

If you mean the items on the Dock, just click and drag up/down on the vertical dashed line that separates program icons from those for Documents, Applications, Downloads, and Trash.

I try to make purchases from iTunes it says contact them, I do they say they've made adjustments to account sign out or wait 15/30mins then try, it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me why?

why when I try to purchase from iTunes it says contact them, they say they've made adjustments to my account sign out /wait 15/30mins then it will work. It doesn't can anyone tell me why I've been trying for weeks now and is there someone really high up I can complain to?

Assuming you have (1) signed out, then (2) waited 30 minutes and it didn't work you will need to contact iTunes again.

Can a selection made within a photograph be independently rotated?

Can a selection made within a photograph be independently rotated? I did an inversion of a photograph and now need to correct the angle of an object that's embedded in the photo.

What is that you are wanting to achieve? Lightroom is a great image processor and file manager plus much more. Photoshop or Photoshop Elements while doing what you asked for does not have most of Lightroom's capabilities and hence they are designed to work in a complimentary manner. Most photographers use Lightroom for a big part of their work and just use Photoshop for complex pixel editing and working with layers, etc. from Lightroom files can be sent to Photoshop and a resultant file is returned to Lightroom which manages the whole process.

Friends Always away and Calls can't be made

For the past few days Skype has made all my friend's online status as away and I know in fact my friends are online because we have been trying to skype. It has also been saying my calls can't be made or they just keep failing. My status is online and I have tried to log out and log back in. That did not work so I tried to re-download skype and it still will not work. After multiple attempts of trying to fix this issue I have gotten no where. Is there anyway to fix this?
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

yeah I experienced this issue too and I have come to know that if someone has installed skype on his/her smart phone he will remain away even if he isn't connected to the internet at all and if he/she unistalled skype from the smart phone without logging out of the skype app they will remain away forever I think the solution to this issue is if someone isn't connected to the internet on smartphone skype should automatically change his status to be offline because it is very confusing

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

Many files in preferences, having symbols for names - can they be discarded

Hi all
When I go to the following destination, username > library > preferences, I have so many files with names having pi, rho, @, angstrong, beta, epsilon and greater than symbols incorporated. These are empty files.
What is their purpose? Are they part of the Mac OS X system. If they are junk, can they be safely removed to the trash can?
Robin

if they are empty they are certainly junk. in general, you can safely delete anything in your user preferences folder. if some preference file is needed and is missing it will be recreated with default values by the program that made it. of course some files may contain useful data like your mail preference file and you should not just discard them but there is no harm in deleting empty ones.
that said, I've never seen such strange preference files and don't know what program made them.

Haven't bought my phone from Apple outright, can they still fix it for me?

I made the mistake of buying my iPhone 3GS from a shop online, which now doesn't exist.
Is it possible for me to go in the Apple shop and tell them the problem with my phone (power/lock button doesn't work when I click it, but frequently locks or turns off) and can they offer to help? Can anyone help? Thanks.

If still under warranty, Apple will handle any valid warranty claims. If out of warranty, Apple will offer you an out of warranty replacement, cost is US $149. Genius bar appointments are free.

I have deleted contacts from my old iPhone 4 and they have also been deleted from my new iPhone 6, can they be restored?

How were you syncing contacts? If you still had the iPhone 4 connected and the 6 at the same time, then you may have made a fatal mistake. I'm guessing that you were using a cloud service for your contacts?

Why did my local Verizon store rep try to talk me out of an iPhone? He told me they were made of glass and would break. If I wanted one I should buy it somewhere else. I had to insist on the purchase telling him I have a MacBookPro and iPad.

Why did my local Verizon store rep try to talk me out of an iPhone? He told me they were made of glass and would break. If I wanted one I should buy it somewhere else. I had to insist on the purchase telling him I have a MacBookPro and iPad and I was upgrading both my service contract and two phones.

It seems an odd way of doing business, I think it would make more sense just to say they didn't have any in stock. However I can think of four reasons. 1) budone suggested the request may have come from Apple, one reason for them to request would be they are running out of the current model of iphone. Production problems, phone related or not. 2) Whoever has Verizon's insurance on the iPhones may have stated ENOUGH! Perhaps they have replaced too many iPhones. 3) Verizon will soon be giving away the iPhones (with of course purchase of a (overpriced) phone/data plan contract), so they don't want customers complaining that they had to pay for theirs. Last but not least 4) The salesperson or store manager may have a beef with Apple (or their insurer). However, These are simply my guesses, why not call the store you purchased from and ask to speak to the manager. You may (or not) get a better answer. Hope this helps.

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:
