The new iPad is out from Apple.

It's kind of like a large iPod Touch or iPhone. 10 inches x 7.5 inches
I may have to get one of these and try it out.

Anyone else plan on buying one?

New Magic Mouse for Christmas [Discussions or Help for Apple Computers]

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 16:32:59 -0600

My wife bought me the new Magic Mouse for Christmas.

Very Cool.
Still getting used to it but I like the features.
I really like the swipe feature to go forward or back when viewing a photo, email, web page, etc..

A little lighter in weight than I think it should be but maybe I will get used to it.

Happy Thanksgiving ! [General Discussions about anything]

I hope everyone is having a great and safe Thanksgiving.

My wife and I are staying home and enjoying a quite turkey dinner this year.

Took me awhile to catch that turkey though. They are getting smarter every year. :)

There are wild fires in Oregon that is creating the smoke for us up here.
I don't think those fires are fully contained yet..
Hopefully the wind will change and put it back in Oregon...

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard [Discussions or Help for Apple Computers]

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:11:08 -0500

10.6.1 is now out along with some newer printer drivers.

I still don't have scanner drivers for my HP 2510 for scanning but it does print just fine. I am still waiting for the scanner or I may have to buy a new printer...

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard [Discussions or Help for Apple Computers]

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:02:42 -0500

I have been testing out 10.6 over the weekend on 2 of my computers.
I have not had any problems at all.

Important:
You need to find out if your printer is on the list of printers that will work with Snow Leopard 10.6 before installing.
Most printers will print but many of the all-in-one printers will not scan or fax until new drivers come out for that brand or printer.
My all-in-one HP printer will print but I cannot use the scanner or the fax at this time.
All the printer manufacturers are working on new drivers so be sure your printer is on the list before going ahead with the upgrade.

There isn't a whole lot of difference between Leopard and Snow Leopard that any of us will see right from the start. Most everything that changed is not really viewable except I can see a definite speed increase for most everything especially Safari along with other Apple applications.

For those of you with older G3, G4 and G5 computers with PPC processors, you will not be able to install Snow Leopard as the computer must have the newer Intel processors.

If I find anything that might be giving me any problems I will report them here.
So far, So good except for being able to scan.

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard [Discussions or Help for Apple Computers]

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:00:56 -0500

The new Mac OS X 10.6 named Snow Leopard will be on sale this Friday August 28th.

Lots of changes under the hood and claimed as be faster than 10.5 Leopard.

You must have an Intel processor to be able to run Snow Leopard.
For you people that still own Power PC Macintosh computers, you won't be able to run this new version.

The new Snow Leopard is an upgrade for 10.5 Leopard users and cost $29.00
For those of you still running Tiger, you might consider upgrading now to the new Snow Leopard operating system.

Also see the Box set if you are still running Tiger and you also don't have the latest iLife '09 and iWork '09

I pre-ordered my Snow Leopard as part of the up-to-date program for $9.95 for people that recently bought an Apple computer after June 8, 2009...

I will report back here once I receive the new Snow Leopard.

OS X 10.5.8 is released [Discussions or Help for Apple Computers]

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:04:12 -0500

A new update to the OS X operating system is out.

I have installed it on all 4 of my computers without any problems.
For those of you with more than one computer, I would suggest downloading the "Combo Update" and installing that on your computers.

http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Update

I always like to keep the latest update just in case anything happens to any of the computers so it is easier to update again if necessary.

This is the latest I can ever remember cutting hay and I've been doing this for almost 30 years here is Scott Valley.

Check out camera #2 and see the hay cut.
