Modérnica @ 7:00 PM

¡Nuestro Primer Mac Video Fest!
¡No te lo pierdas!

A Bite from the Apple:

El sábado, 3 de mayo se tiene programado el San Juan Macintosh User Group’s Primer Mac Video Fest, donde se exhibirá el potencial de la Macintosh en el mundo de las artes de video, donde el anfitrion será nuestro SJMUG miembro, Luiggi. El Fest se llevará acabo frente a la tienda de Modérnica el Galería Paseos, y será una actividad de todo el día. ¡Será muy divertido e informativo a la vez!

La reunión pasáda fué muy divertida, conocimos nuevos miembros al SJMUG, y compartimos muchas nuevas ideas sobre el funcionamiento y estatus que nos representa Apple Computer Latinamérica, como compañia que nos suple las Macs que tánto adoramos. Estuvimos charlando hasta de unos rumores que todos pensamos, cuál sería las próximas plataformas que se presentarán en las convenciones a venir. El ejercicio fue muy divertido. Pudimos ayudar a algunos miembros que no entendían como usar algunos “features” de Mac OS X. ¡Despues de todo, para eso es que tenemos un SJMUG, para servir y compartir!

Por fín en la próxima reunión verán la tan esperada PowerBook G4 de 17”, corriendo y en vivo, gracias a uno de los miembros del SJMUG que adquirió una. También esperamos discutir lo último en noticias Mac, para que todos se enteren de lo que viene por ahí y lo que se espera para verano, ¿iPods 30GB?, ¿iBooks 900MHz con Airport Extreme?, ¿USB 2.0 para la Mac?, ¿TiBook 15”-->AlBook 15”?, ¿Safari Golden Master?, ¿eMacs hasta 1GHz como 3er modelo?, ¿Panther?, y muchas otras cosas.

La próxima reunión será donde acostumbrado, en Galería Paseos 2do nivel en Modérnica el jueves, 24 de abril de 2003 @ 7:00pm. Traigan sus Macs para compartir nuestras experiencias, dudas y hallazgos.

Unanse a nuestro Newsletter donde se enterarán de nuestras actividades y próximas reuniones,también estaremos dando articulos de interés y “hot tips” de múcha utilidad! Sólo contesten éste e-mail con “ Quiero ser miembro” y lo mandan a cramirez@mac.com

Los Esperamos

Know Your Mac!

Use Sticky Keys to load all Safari links in tabs
Fri, Apr 18 '03 at 10:03AM • from: treyetal

While using Safari Beta 2, do you find yourself saying "Why do I have to press the Command key every time I click a link? I want every link in a new tab, not a new window."
I came across this solution by accident; it's simple, but you may not have thought about it, and your finger (thumb?) will thank you! Turn on the "Sticky Keys" feature of Universal Access System Preference panel; it's on the "Keyboard" tab. You can also activate this feature on-the-fly (if you have "Allow Universal Access Shortcuts" checked) by pressing the Shift key five times to toggle it on or off.
Then, when you are ready for your link-clicking, tab-adding, extravaganza, just press the Command key twice (which locks it on) and away you go. You may want to deselect the Command key when you do things other than clicking links, as it is used to modify other key and mouse sequesnces!
Perfect for loading shareware lists into Tabs to review and download.

[robg adds: While you have Sticky Keys activated, you'll see a nice semi-translucent Command key graphic onscreen (at least, I do!) while you have the Command key locked on, which makes it much easier to remember that you should disable it before doing any other clicking!]

Password protect and work with multiple iPhoto Libraries
Thu, Apr 17 '03 at 09:40AM • from: Anonymous

This little trick gives you the ability to do two things:
To easily switch between iPhoto libraries.
To password protect your libraries.
This has been tested under Jaguar. Here's what to do:
Open the Disk Copy utility
Open the folder that contains your iPhoto library
Drag your iPhoto library folder onto the Disk Copy window to create a disk image from the folder.
In the Image Folder dialogue box that pops up, navigate to whatever directory you would like your disk image to be temporarily stored in (we will move the disk image later). Make sure to keep the library name that is default for the disk image you are saving: "iPhoto Library" (which will make "iPhoto Library.dmg")
Set Image Format to read/write and Encryption AES-128 .
The next dialogue box will ask for a password. Enter a password here and make sure to de-select the option to store password in your keychain (otherwise anyone happening by your computer could access the disk image, and then what would be the point?)
You can now close the Disk Copy utility.
Navigate to a place where you would like to store your iPhoto libraries (I use my home directory and then "Pictures").
Create a folder for this library with an appropriate name.
Drag (move) the disk image you just created into the folder.
Delete your original iPhoto Library folder (the one that you dragged into the Disk Copy window).
Mount your new disk image by double clicking it and entering your password.
Open iPhoto. Because you deleted the original library, it will tell you that your iPhoto Library was not found. Choose "Find Library" and navigate to the mounted disk image (found under your computer in the same place that your physical and network disks are mounted).
You will now be able to use iPhoto like normal. When you wish to protect your photos, simply eject your mounted disk image. When you open iPhoto without the image mounted, it will give the 'Library Not Found' error.

Read the rest of the hint for information on how to use this trick to keep multiple libraries...

Using the same method, you can keep multiple libraries. For example, to create a new library, open iPhoto without the mounted image and select "Create Library" when the Not Found error pops up. Then you can create another Library just like you would normally. Follow the steps above to create another disk image.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When working with multiple libraries, it is important that all the disk images be named the same. That way, iPhoto will automatically detect whatever library you have mounted without having to point to the library each time. That is why I recommend putting each disk image in its own appropriately named folder.

Each time you create a new library and go through the steps listed above to encrypt it, you will have to point iPhoto to the mounted disk again. The reason for this is that when you create a new library, iPhoto will use that directory as default. When you delete the default directory in the steps listed above, iPhoto won't find it, and you will have to point to the disk image again. Once you have created all necessary libraries, however, you shouldn't have to point to the disk image any more. iPhoto will simply use whatever library is mounted at the time. Remember to unmount a library before you mount another.

[robg adds: I haven't tested this, but it seems to make sense given what iPhoto does when it can't find a Library.]
