Re: iPad GPS and Find My Mac
Hi Adrian, You are making it more difficult for me to keep helping, by not including my previous text 'thread' in your replies I have to keep referring back to what I have already sent you. How did you install Lion first? Did you create a Recovery Partition in the initial install? Does your computer only have ONE partition? Sounds like you might not have installed the 'Recovery Partition HD' when you installed Lion. The Recovery HD will only be created if you install Lion on the drive using the Lion installer. Restoring a backup will not create the Recovery HD. The recovery partition is a hidden partition to take the place of the old disks if you need to run diagnostics or repairs. If you cloned, it got wiped out in the process (it will do that because both CCC and SuperDuper can only clone one partition and don't recognize the other because it is hidden). You do need the Recovery Partition HD for the Find My Mac feature to work, also File Vault. To check whether you do or don't have the partition. Restart with the Option key held down - if you are not presented with an option to boot from the recovery partition, you don't have it. If that is the case, you 'might' be able to reinstall Lion without having to Wipe your Drive. But first you could try running the Lion 10.7.3 Combo Update over top of your Lion install and see if that re-creates the Recovery Partition. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 I will be returning home sometime today, but until then I will be offline again.

Re: iPad GPS and Find My Mac
My humble apologies Ronnie, my last reply was done in a hurry and was largely a case of going off half cocked. I checked for the recovery partition as you suggested and as you suspected there is not one. This was a bit of a surprise to me; could it have gone missing when the HD was replaced a few weeks ago? I am downloading the 10.7.3 combo Update and will see if it will restore the partition. I will be attending a workshop for board members of the NFP charity I have been involved with for the last 12 years which will take up a large part of the day so I will report back later. Thanks again!

Re: The New iPad's mobile phone ability in Aus
Hi Ray, It seems that the new iPad will not support the so-far limited LTE networks in Europe either. To quote a MacRumors article: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/09/international-4g-ipad-models-will-work-on-att-not-on-lte-in-home-countries/ The new iPad WiFi + 4G put up for pre-order in Europe yesterday supports the same 700MHz and 2100MHz LTE bands as the ATT version in the US; however, actual LTE roll-out in Europe is expected to use the 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz bands. That means, even if commercial LTE networks become more commonplace in Europe – which has for the most part remained using the faster variants of 3G technology, such as DC-HSDPA, which the new iPad also supports – the Apple tablet is unlikely to be compatible with them. It is reported that the iPad is using the Qualcomm's MDM9600 baseband chip. There is already available a newer version of this chip that supports voice over LTE but we may have to wait for yet newer versions of the chip before we see support for LTE in Australia and Europe. I wonder if the iPhone 5 (or more likely the new iPhone)* will support more LTE frequencies. Cheers, Carlo * the iPhone may be the only remaining piece of Apple hardware that carries a model number. I can't think of any others. On 09/03/2012, at 18:09 , Ray Forma wrote: If you buy your 4G equipped New iPad in Australia your mobile telephone ability will be: LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) However, the only LTE (marketed as G4) service in Aus at present is Telstra’s '4G' branded LTE' running on 1800MHz. Optus will be rolling out 4G services in the 1800MHz band from April 2012 to Newcastle, Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie areas. Optus 4G services will also be delivered to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth from mid-2012 with further expansion expected shortly after. Your iPad will not work on this service on this frequency, so Aus 4G is unusable. However, there's hope on the distant horizon. It’s widely tipped that 700Mhz LTE services will be the future of LTE in Australia, but the 700Mhz band is currently in use for analog TV broadcasts. They’re due to be culled by 2013, freeing up the precious LTE-friendly 700Mhz spectrum, but who gets it? Aus UMTS services (marketed as 3G) are: 3 on 2100 MHz (roaming to parts of Telstra's 850 network, 2100 50% Shared with Telstra) Optus on 900/2100 MHz Telstra on 850/2100 Vodafone on 850/900/2100 Your iPad will receive all Aus UMTS (3G) frequencies. Aus GSM providers all run on 900MHz and 1800MHZ, so your iPad will work well with those. Keep in mind that, as a general rule, the lower the frequency the better the service over long distances. That's why Telstra's 850MHz UMTS service gives good coverage away from the densely populated areas; at least in those areas that have mobile phone towers nearby. The same applies to Vodafone's 850MHz service, but they have many fewer towers in the less-populated areas. The proposed 700MHz LTE services therefore hold quite a bit of promise for those of us who often travel outside the big population areas. I have plagiarised much of the above from today's Gizmodo report at http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/03/australian-4g-frequencies-explained/ Regards, Ray Forma Mob +61 (0) 428 596938 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Hi Roger, You must contact the Police and inform them that you have found an iPhone 4, give them all the details you know about the iPhone, where and what time your son found it etc. The owner has reported it stolen, so the Police with have a record of who the owner is and all details. If you don’t you could be found to be in possession of a stolen item. Cover yourself and contact the police so you are on record that you have reported the iPhone ‘Found’.

Oh Roger, Never tell your son to just leave it alone. What if he or yourself lost your iPhone, you would hope an honest person like your son picks it up and reports it to the Police. I’m very sure I would hope an honest person finds my iPhone if ever it gets lost. Your son has done the correct and honest action in this situation. We have had members of WAMUG who have lost their iPhones and the iPhones never been handed in by who ever happened to “Find” them. They would wish that your son had found them!

Install Lion
I'm about to upgrade to Lion. I think that I've worked it out but want to double check. I brought a family pack from the Apps Store and burnt it to a DVD. Tried to boot from that DVD but could not. Is this because Apple are not issuing DVD's? I therefore presume that you do not boot from the DVD but just install Lion from the DVD.

Re: The New iPad's mobile phone ability in Aus
(I have posted this reply to the group on behalf of Stephen.) Carlo, Sorry I can't reply to the list, but for you worth noting that new iPad supports DC-HSDPA which provides up to 42mbits on Telstra's NextG network -much wider coverage than LTE network today and as good as or potentially better performance than U.S. LTE network. Cheers, Stephen On 10/03/2012, at 9:28 , cm wrote: Hi Ray, It seems that the new iPad will not support the so-far limited LTE networks in Europe either. To quote a MacRumors article: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/09/international-4g-ipad-models-will-work-on-att-not-on-lte-in-home-countries/ The new iPad WiFi + 4G put up for pre-order in Europe yesterday supports the same 700MHz and 2100MHz LTE bands as the ATT version in the US; however, actual LTE roll-out in Europe is expected to use the 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz bands. That means, even if commercial LTE networks become more commonplace in Europe – which has for the most part remained using the faster variants of 3G technology, such as DC-HSDPA, which the new iPad also supports – the Apple tablet is unlikely to be compatible with them. It is reported that the iPad is using the Qualcomm's MDM9600 baseband chip. There is already available a newer version of this chip that supports voice over LTE but we may have to wait for yet newer versions of the chip before we see support for LTE in Australia and Europe. I wonder if the iPhone 5 (or more likely the new iPhone)* will support more LTE frequencies. Cheers, Carlo * the iPhone may be the only remaining piece of Apple hardware that carries a model number. I can't think of any others. On 09/03/2012, at 18:09 , Ray Forma wrote: If you buy your 4G equipped New iPad in Australia your mobile telephone ability will be: LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) However, the only LTE (marketed as G4) service in Aus at present is Telstra’s '4G' branded LTE' running on 1800MHz. Optus will be rolling out 4G services in the 1800MHz band from April 2012 to Newcastle, Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie areas. Optus 4G services will also be delivered to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth from mid-2012 with further expansion expected shortly after. Your iPad will not work on this service on this frequency, so Aus 4G is unusable. However, there's hope on the distant horizon. It’s widely tipped that 700Mhz LTE services will be the future of LTE in Australia, but the 700Mhz band is currently in use for analog TV broadcasts. They’re due to be culled by 2013, freeing up the precious LTE-friendly 700Mhz spectrum, but who gets it? Aus UMTS services (marketed as 3G) are: 3 on 2100 MHz (roaming to parts of Telstra's 850 network, 2100 50% Shared with Telstra) Optus on 900/2100 MHz Telstra on 850/2100 Vodafone on 850/900/2100 Your iPad will receive all Aus UMTS (3G) frequencies. Aus GSM providers all run on 900MHz and 1800MHZ, so your iPad will work well with those. Keep in mind that, as a general rule, the lower the frequency the better the service over long distances. That's why Telstra's 850MHz UMTS service gives good coverage away from the densely populated areas; at least in those areas that have mobile phone towers nearby. The same applies to Vodafone's 850MHz service, but they have many fewer towers in the less-populated areas. The proposed 700MHz LTE services therefore hold quite a bit of promise for those of us who often travel outside the big population areas.

If you saved your Lion “InstallESD.dmg” and created a bootable Flash Drive you should have started from that after you installed the new Hard Drive. Then after you had installed Lion from the USB Flash Drive, you could have restored your data to the new Hard Drive from your Time Machine backup or CCC/SuperDuper backup.

Thanks Carlo, I was just typing instructions for Adrian, but posted my reply re Stuart’s email first… you have saved me from having to complete my reply to Stuart.

The only thing I will add to your instructions are Adrian might find if he goes to the Mac App Store to re-download Lion install he might receive a message saying Lion is already installed on this Mac (or some such message). Try holding down the Option key while clicking on the Purchased icon? It should re-install right over his current setup giving him the Recovery Partition.

Re: found iphone 4
Agreed. Yes sometimes doing the right thing, isn't always the easiest. But the more people that do the right thing, hopefully it comes back 10 fold. Probably the easiest thing at the time may have been your son to give it to the driver advising it was found on the bus. The Driver of the bus should then pass it to the bus companies office or lost property, so if the person lost it rang, it would be there. I'd assume that's where I'd start calling if it was lost, trying to backtrack my steps. But yes, sometimes you run around doing a lot of things to try help a situation. :) Where would the human race be if we all didn't bother,..lol ;) I'f sure if the person get's there phone back they would be very grateful. (I remember seeing a poster in a park recently about a lost phone and the person offering reward, as they hadn't backed anything up off and it had photos of their just recently passed away pet which was very traumatic to them, and something they could never get unless they got their phone back.).

But trying to find the owner is proving to be very difficult. Phoned Apple and they do have a record of the phone but not who the owner is Phoned Optus and they have no record of the simm. Does anyone have nay ideas? The phone is password protected and I believe it has been reported as stolen or lost as it appears to be barred.
