Are you planning on using your Apple computer for the Bar Exam in July?
If so, the Mac Users Group is hosting "What Every Mac User Needs to
Know for
the Bar Exam" on April 14th at 5:30 in Room 103. Apple Systems
Engineer Dane Riley will walk students through the steps and answer
any questions people may have about using their Mac's on the Bar Exam.
Come to listen, ask questions, and enjoy free food. Obviously computer
problems are the last thing Bar takers want to worry about this July.
So remember, Tues. April 14th @ 5:30 in Room 103. Pizza will be served.
Hope to see you all there. If you have any questions feel free to
email me at cemason@....
Thanks,
Chris Mason & Dave Owens
Co-President's of the Mac Users Group
LOL, I found a very funny picture and wanna know your opinion. Do u think this
picture is funny? Check the funny picture here:
http://www.funnysebird.0fees.net/funny.htm
The Mac Users Group is holding the first general meeting of the year this Wednesday (10/01/2008) from 12:30-1:20 in room 103. We not only wanted to introduce ourselves to everyone, but also want to allow Mac Users a place to come together, discuss issues, and keep up on the latest ways to get the most out of your machine combined with law school.
Dane Riley will be on hand to present on keeping yourself organized for the year. He will be demonstrating how to use iCal, MobileMe services and other software that law students would find of use in keeping organized and staying productive.
Pizza will be provided and goodies will be available. We hope that you can make it out and bring ideas for future events for the school year.
So if you have an Apple Computer, are looking to keep organized and productive this school year, come grab a bite, take in some information and then apply it to keep on top of things.
Have Your Mac and Windows Too with Boot Camp
http://lifehacker.com/384256/have-your-mac-and-windows-too-with-boot-camp
The following post was originally published in Chapter 11 of our new
book, Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter,
Faster, Better.
You can have both a Mac and a PC on a single computer, using Apple's
new Boot Camp software. Boot Camp lets you install Windows on your Mac
in addition to Mac OS X. With Boot Camp set up, when you start your
Mac, you can choose whether to use OS X or Windows. Boot Camp is a
great way to consolidate the computers in your life and to run
essential Windows programs that aren't available on the Mac. Here's
how to set up Boot Camp to get a Mac and PC all rolled into one.
Note: Setting up Boot Camp is not a trivial task because it involves
repartitioning your Mac's hard drive and installing another operating
system and drivers. Block out a couple of hours for this project.
1. What You Need
Getting Boot Camp and Windows up and running on your Mac requires
specific hardware and software. Here's what you need:
- An Intel-based Mac running OS 10.5 (Leopard) with all software
updates installed.
- At least 10GB of free space on your Mac's hard drive.
A working printer connected to your Mac (with plenty of ink and paper!).
- A genuine Windows XP installation disk, which includes Service Pack
2. (Important: You cannot install XP using a disk that does not
include SP2 and expect to download it after the fact. If you have an
old XP CD without SP2, here's more on how to add SP2 to your older
Windows XP installation disk.)
OR
A genuine Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or
Ultimate installation disk (32-bit version only.)
Set Up Boot Camp
Before you get started, free up as much space on your Mac's hard drive
as possible. (Here's more on how to identify and cut back disk space
hogs.) Then back up all your important data, just in case. Do not skip
this step! Finally, log on to your Mac as an administrative user (and
log off any other users), quit all running applications, and if you're
using a portable Mac, make sure it's plugged into a power source. Got
all that? Great. Now it's time to get Boot Camp going.
Step 1: Launch the Boot Camp Assistant
The Boot Camp Assistant is a step-by-step wizard, located in
/Applications/Utilities/, but it can help you only as long as you're
in Mac OS X, which you are not throughout this entire process. So the
first thing the Assistant does is prompt you to print the 26-page user
guide [PDF]. Experienced users may be annoyed by this seemingly
unnecessary step, but because you'll be rebooting your system and
making major changes, a paper copy of the guide is a comforting help
along the way when the on-screen Assistant isn't available.
In fact, Apple's user guide printout is more complete than any
instructions I could include here, so rather than repeat the
instructions it already contains, I offer additional information not
included in the official instructions.
Step 2: Partition Your Mac's Hard Drive
After you've told the Boot Camp Assistant that you want to set up
Windows on your Mac, you come to the scary (and fun!) part: splitting
your Mac's hard drive into pieces and setting Windows to install on
one of those partitions. The Assistant will show you a map of your
Mac's hard drive. Click the divider to drag it and set the size of
your Windows partition (which will take space away from the Mac
partition). Alternatively, using the buttons, you can split the drive
equally, or use exactly 32GB for Windows, as shown.
What size should your Windows partition be? Good question. This
decision is difficult to undo later, so do consider a couple of
questions before you decide:
What will you use Windows to do and how much how much hard drive space
will that take up?
If you're using Windows just to play PC games, for example, you won't
need much space (10-20GB will do.) But if you want to manage your
photo library in Windows (which I do, with Picasa, because I prefer it
over iPhoto), you'll need enough space to accommodate all your photos.
It's impossible to know in advance exactly how much space you'll need,
but guesstimate as best as you can. Also, keep in mind that you can
attach external drives to add space in Windows. But remember: Files
stored in the Mac OS cannot be accessed from within Windows, so make
sure you have enough space for all the programs and files you'll want
in Windows.
What format will the Windows partition be, FAT or NTFS?
If your Windows partition is larger than 32GB, you will have to format
it as NTFS, not FAT. Mac OS X cannot write to NTFS-formatted drives,
but it can write to FAT drives. That means that a Windows partition
greater than 32GB will be read-only in Mac OS. In general, FAT is
considered less reliable than NTFS. (Windows Vista uses only NTFS, so
the 32GB threshold isn't a factor if you're installing Vista.)
After you've chosen how to split your hard drive between Mac and
Windows, click the Partition button.
Step 3: Start the Windows Installation
With your partition created, insert your Windows installation disk and
click the Start Installation button in the Boot Camp Assistant. Your
Mac will reboot from the Windows installation disk and begin working.
Two things to know when you're installing Windows:
When it comes time to select the partition to format, be absolutely
sure to choose the partition labeled C:Partition3 . Vista will list it
as Disk 0 Partition 3 BOOTCAMP. One false move here and you could wipe
out your entire Mac, so choose carefully.
If your partition is less than 32GB and you're installing Windows XP,
you'll have a choice between the NTFS or FAT Windows format. NTFS is
recommended, although FAT is okay, too. Whatever you do, don't select
Leave The Current File System Intact—make sure you format the
partition to NTFS or FAT.
Complete the rest of the Windows XP installation per the installation
disk's instructions.
Step 4. Install the Windows Drivers for Your Mac's Hardware
After you're completely booted into your new Windows installation,
eject the installation disk and insert your Mac OS 10.5 installation
CD. Let Autorun launch Setup.exe, and follow the on-screen
instructions. When the drivers are installed, Windows will recognize
your Mac's devices (such as the Bluetooth receiver, video adapter,
iSight camera, and wireless receiver.) If you receive a message saying
that the software hasn't passed Windows testing, click the Continue
Anyway button. You'll have to reboot to finish this installation. Then
you're done!
You Choose
Now you have the choice to start either Mac OS X or Windows on your
Mac. To make that choice when you turn on your computer, hold down the
Option key and you'll see the two partitions you set up, as shown.
Click the one that has the operating system you want to use.
Alternatively, if the computer is already running, use the Boot Camp
software to restart in a particular operating system. In Windows XP,
click the Boot Camp icon in the system tray, and in the Startup Disk
tab, select Macintosh HD or Windows and click the Restart button to
move into that operating system, as shown.
While you're in OS X, you can do the same thing by going into System
Preferences and choosing Startup Disk.
Using a Mac Keyboard in Windows
When you first start using Windows on your Mac, one of the first
things you'll notice is that the Mac keyboard is different from
Windows keyboards. It has a Command key but no Windows key; on
MacBooks and iBooks, the keyboard has a Delete key but no Backspace
key; it also has no Print Screen Key. The Boot Camp user guide you
printed includes a complete table of Mac keyboard Windows action
mappings, but the most important ones to know are the following:
The Option key is the Windows Alt key.
The Command key is the Windows key.
The Delete key is the equivalent of Backspace.
To forward delete with it on built-in Apple keyboards (on your Mac
notebook), use Fn-Delete. (External Apple keyboards have a forward
Delete key.)
The Windows Print Screen key is F14 on an external Apple keyboard.
Your best bet is to bookmark the Boot Camp key mapping reference in
Windows for easy reference the next time you need to use Print Screen
or Delete.
For more documentation, user discussions, troubleshooting, and
frequently asked questions about Boot Camp, see Apple's Boot Camp
support section. Also, be sure to download and install the latest
update to the Boot Camp software for Windows, just released this past
week. Finally, if you want to hop into Windows without leaving OS X
once in awhile, here's how to virtualize and dual boot the same
Windows on your Mac.
Did you know that the CA Bar has okayed use of Apple computers to take the Bar Exam?
Join us on Thurs. April 3rd From Noon-1PM in Room 100 to find out all that you need to know on how to run Bootcamp and be able to use your Apple laptop to take the Bar Examination this year.
Also, a presentation on helpful features of Apple's iLife Suite will be presented on.
Pizza and Drinks will be provided.
So come out and learn what it will take for you to complete the Bar on an Apple Computer.
Hope to see you there,
Christopher Mason
Also, don't forget to join the Mac Users Yahoo Group.
(1) Yes, we will need to buy Windows XP or Vista. From what I've read, Vista is
a memory
hog, so I'd recommend installing XP.
(2) We do get an educational discount on a new computer from Apple. They have an
online
USF Law Store, accessible from their Store site. We also get a discount in
person at any
Apple Store - just show them your ID. Unless you have a friend working at Apple,
your
student discount will likely get you the lowest price on a new laptop.
As for Windows, we obviously cannot buy Windows from Apple. I'd bet that we get
the
best discount via the USF Bookstore. The same is true if you want to install
Parallels or
VMWare's Fusion (do a quick Google search for more info on why this
virtualization
software is so useful).
We must also have a Windows version of Microsoft Office installed in order to
run SofTest
and take the Bar Exam. On the positive side, Excel and Word for Windows are both
much
better than their OS X counterparts. I'd bet the best price for this is also via
the USF
Bookstore.
So in a perfect world, you could buy a new Mac from Apple using your student
discount.
You could then also buy XP or Vista, Office for Windows, and Parallels or Fusion
from the
USF Bookstore. Install them all, and you can use your Office for Windows while
running OS
X and be all set for the Bar Exam.
Thanks for asking .Please let me know if you have more questions,
Katz

Questions: (1) We have to buy Windows XP or Vista? Have people used Vista? How is it? (2) Do we get educational discounts on the computer if we want to buy a new mac and the software-- Windows and Office?

Hi All,
Just thought I'd share some great news...
1) USF email moving to gMail
Since the Fall I've been a beta tester for a pilot USF gMail program. It's been fantastic. No real stored-email cap and easy conversion from our old email system to gMail. I received this email today:
"The move to Gmail is planned for Tuesday, March 18, during spring break. We considered this date carefully, especially concerns that a mid-semester change of this nature could disrupt coursework. However, concern regarding our current student e-mail system is so great, and enthusiasm for the Gmail alternative is so strong, that we have made the decision
to move forward in March."
After the switch, the only advice I'd offer is to go into your new gMail settings and re-do your forwarding information if you'd still rather get school email forwarded to your personal email.
2) CA Bar allowing Apple laptops for the July
2008 Bar Exam
From page 3 of the CA Bar Exam Laptop Requirements pdf:
"Apple Macintosh Users: Users with Apple's MAC OSX v. 10.4.4 (Tiger) or Mac OSX v. 10.5 (Leopard) laptops can run SofTest in Windows XP or Vista installed via Apple's Bootcamp."
I'm flabbergasted. Overjoyed. I checked the Bar's website early yesterday, and they still had the Feb. Exam information, which banned Apple laptops. Thanks to Caio for sending over the good news.
What does this mean?
If you own or buy an Intel-based Mac, you'll need to buy a Windows license and install it on your computer via Boot Camp. You will then be able to boot your Mac into Windows, as though you were using a laptop from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, etc.
If you are a 3L or 4L and bought your laptop before you started law school, you will still not be able to use your current, PPC-based Mac. The good news, however, is that you can buy any new MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro, install Windows, and take the Bar on your Mac.
Happy Spring Break,
Katz
ps: If you have any questions, feel free to send 'em my way.
After the switch, the only advice I'd offer is to go into your new
gMail settings and re-do your forwarding information if you'd still
rather get school email forwarded to your personal email.
The other thing I'd suggest is migrating mail via IMAP. The message that came out today said to forward messages, but that's stupid. You'd lose many meaningful message attributes. With OS X Mail (and pretty much any IMAP client) you can just set up accounts for both Gmail and USF mail, and drag from USF to Gmail.

Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who was able to attend last week's meeting. Turnout could
have been
better, but there were three other competing meetings at the same time. Such is
life.
1) Meeting Recap
2) Macs and the CA Bar Exam
3) Contact the CA Bar
4) Links
- Katz
1) Dane and Cris (both from Apple) brought pizza and gave out t-shirts. Dane
then
demonstrated new features in Leopard. We can buy the OS upgrade from the USF
Bookstore for $69 (the student price from Apple is ~$120). As an aside, the
Bookstore also
has iWork for somewhere between $30-$40, which is again much cheaper than
anywhere
else. Microsoft Office 2008 is ~$140 at the Bookstore.
2) Regarding Intel Macs and the CA Bar Exam, Dane has contacted people at Apple
and
asked them to push the Bar to approve using Apple computers, booted into Windows
via
Boot Camp, for taking the Bar Exam. He said he'll drop me a line, one way or the
other,
when he learns more.
3) If you'd like to contact the CA Bar to ask why users of Apple laptops are
forced to buy a
Windows laptop to take the Bar Exam, you should contact the LA office.
Phone: 213-765-1550
Feel free to call, but last time I called, they asked that all correspondence be
via the mail
(no email, no fax). If you're going to contact them, please be professional. To
send a
letter, direct it to:
Office of Admissions
The State Bar of California
1149 S. Hill St.
Los Angeles, CA 90015
Attn: Admissions Dept.
John Rodriguez, Director of Operations and Management
It should be noted that students at all of the UC law schools are allowed to use
their Macs.
Students at those schools boot into Windows via Boot Camp and use SofTest for
exams
(the same software the Bar uses). ExamSoft, the makers of SofTest, have approved
this
setup and officially say it works. According to ExamSoft technical support, it
is the CA Bar
who has chosen, despite ExamSoft's assurances, to ban Apple laptops from the CA
Bar
Exam.
Another option is to contact Steve Jobs directly via email about the problem. He
(or, more
likely, his people) supposedly read and respond to all emails. I'd imagine
Apple's market
share among attorneys would increase if law students were able to buy an Apple
laptop
knowing that they'd be able to use it for their entire legal career.
