WordPress wins!  Glad we’ve picked the winning horse

On the other side of the coin, some of my clients send to hundreds / thousands of targets.  For that I use php scripted database driven lists through our server.  So coming back to this small under 25 management – it was a challenge to get my thinking back to small & ultimately simple. Kind of refreshing actually!

So, the easiest / most basic way I could think of is simply to write the email addresses into a document (like a “Word” or “Publisher” or any text document), save that document, and then copy and paste the addresses into the “To” line of a new email when you want to go to send it.

This is very primiative, but simple and effective method.

Your text document with the email list would look like this:

Jane Doe <nowhere@yahoo.com>, Clyde Lovett <clyde@notarealdomain.com>, Charlie Brown <charlie.brown@fakecompany.com>, John Doe <john.doe@madeupname.com>

and so on, with each address entry separated by commas.

When you want to send an email and you you need the address just copy the whole kit and caboodle into the “To” line and off you go.

The email program will recognize the stuff in between the < > as the email address and the other name info is for your reference.

I can take people to any level of sophistication they want with this, but this is the most basic, easy method to manage a group

Let me know if you need more / different / more sophisticated or if this answers your question.

Cheers,

Clyde

Answer:
Remove photos from iPhone using Image Capture
/Applications/Image Capture.app

HOW TO:

Within Image Capture:

• Select, “Delete after import”
• Select a target folder that makes sense to you – for me I made a folder called _iPhone pics to go inside my Pictures folder  /Users/<username>/Pictures/_iPhone pics
• In iTunes set to include in its sync the contents of this folder back to the iPhone  (I set to sync the “Pictures folder and click the tick box for this _iPhone pics folder (and a few others)).

image capture settings

So the result is that you can manage the photos on your computer and don’t have to be messing around so badly on the iPhone with individual deletes, etc.
Keep the photos on the iPhone that you want.  If you don’t want it to sync back, of course, remove the picture from the folder you set to sync and put it elsewhere.

I could stop there, but here is MY next step:

I import the photos into Lightroom using copy.  I send them to another folder called iPhone pics – but this one in with my REAL photos.  Now I have an archival copy – because unlike other cell phone pics, iPhone pics are quite good! So the photos that remain in the  originally mentioned iPhone pics folder become the fun/sync-with-iPhone photos and the the others are the real deal keep / process, etc.

Of course, this is a Mac solution, not PC.

++++++

I am new to the iPhone – yes, delayed gratification – I have waited almost the full 2 years for my previous cell phone contract to expire and then waited a bit more for the right time, the right deal.  Anyway, I have arrived and now it’s all “new” to me.  LOL

PCMCIA card

OK, the USB 2.0:  I purchased a 2-Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus PC Card from Amazon.com.

I put it into the slot.  I connected the cable that goes from the middle of the card to one of the 1.x USB slots in the back – to supply POWER.  Good as gold – right as rain.  Done.

I consider these items must have / must use:

• Time Machine – software included with Leopard+ for backing up files.
• Backblaze – on line backup service (if you have decent internet connection speed)
• 1Password – password management software

Some new prospects:

• Dropbox – file synchronization & sharing service.  Allows you to rebuild from previous versions and create easy photo galleries.
• Jumpcut – saves your clipboard cuttings  - do you have any idea how empowering that is?

If you are registered with CrestoneRegister.com, you can simply shred this duplicitous “invoice” from Domain Registry of America or other similar companies. Invoices should come from Crestone Creations only.

1. Ok wait: Before you get started: Let us set up a special email address for your paypal account, such as paypal@youraccount.com with your domain name in place of <youraccount.com>

3. Go to https://www.paypal.com/
4. At the top of the page click the “Sign Up” link
5. From the 3 choices choose “Business” – click the “Get Started” button
