Hi Peter Also make sure you're running the latest iOS6.1.1 (depending on device) , which came out the other day. On some iPhones it did have some funny WiFi issues. (Check on the iPhone - Settings - General - Software Update). The other thing you could try on the iPhone is reset Network settings. You can try that from Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings. You'll have to rejoin wireless network etc, but that can also help it as well. Just a couple of other things to try also.

Apple Remote commands ex Front Row
What are the aluminium Apple remote control commands applicable to a 2009 iMac (Front Row or iTunes) that was upgraded to Mountain Lion? I have relocated the iMac near the television and Apple TV. The Apple remote IR signals are still detected by the iMac and appear to manipulate iTunes music. I never used Front Row in Snow Leopard days, and it no longer exists. What is the relationship between the iTunes menu and Apple TV remote buttons? Random button pushing sometimes activates the iMac speaker muting (volume control?) which is good when I choose a different song via Apple TV. But I haven't worked out how to control this, so sometimes I have two different songs playing simultaneously! I would like to retain use of the single remote for the two devices.

She cannot use an iTunes card purchased here or, presumably, in NZ. Is there an alternative method? So far our research has been unable to solve the problem?

Re: Adding credit to iTunes in another country
Hi Laura Just quick reply as on roar but I believe she should be able to log in to her iTunes account and add credit there. As her iTunes account is in her country the credit will be the same. So she should be able to use her credit card. Or the card attached to her account. If doesn't work on her iPad try iTunes on your laptop. Log out your account then log in hers. Then log out hers once done. May be another way if that doesn't work. But try that first and let us know.

Re: Adding credit to iTunes in another country
Hi Daniel Thank you, but what about this proviso shown in iTunes Terms Conditions? In this case my account is used as an example. The App and Book Services are available to you only in Australia, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the App and Book Services from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance. Does this mean an account can't be accessed from outside the home country? Or is that a misinterpretation. My visitor sees it as not being able to access her account when outside the Netherlands which begs the question what then would be the point in adding credit. Are you able to clarify the proviso?

Re: Adding credit to iTunes in another country
Technically yes. But if you're logging into your account to add funds in your country and making purchases in your own countries iTunes / App Store (which is where the account is). then you're technically still following the rules. It's more if you're in Australia trying to trick it and buy US purchases for example.
