Re: Setting up a password?
Hi Denise, I sent this reply on 25 May but don't think it hit the list. You must already have a Password for your Administrator User Account to be able to operate your Mac. Go to System Preferences Users Groups Users Groups - Select your User Account Then Select - Login Options Automatic Login - Select 'OFF' When you click on the login options button, you'll find various settings on right part of system preference panel. Find an option named - Automatic login and select OFF for it to completely turn off the automatic on startup Display login window: you can select 'List of users' or 'Name and password' Go to System Preferences Security Privacy - General You can set other security options here - Require password - immediately after sleep or screen saver begins or after a time. Click on 'Advanced' for other security settings If you find all the options grayed out ( not selectable ), you can unlock it by clicking on the LOCK icon located in bottom - left corner, you have to enter your password to make any changes Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 25 May 2014, at 10:27 pm, Denise Williams wamugh...@bigpond.com wrote: Hi All I have a 27 iMac, OS 10.7.5 .

Another Device on the Network
Hi all, I was typing an email and the following box popped up on my screen. No one else was on the network at the time. Any suggestions ? Another device on the network is using your computer’s IP address (10.1.1.4). Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems, change the IP address of this computer or the IP address of the other device. Contact the network administrator if you need more information. I clicked on the ? on the box, but it went to a page saying the selected topic is currently unavailable.

Re: Another Device on the Network
Hi Julie, This happens sometimes with the DHCP server, which mistakenly assigns the same IP address to two devices, but don’t blame your router. An iPad, and iPhone is often the culprit, it seems these iOS devices like to maintain the same IP address and will attempt to force themselves onto the same IP that they had previously been assigned. The easiest solution is to just reset the router, but that can be a pain depending on your access to the router itself. If resetting the router is a no go, you can 'renew your DHCP lease' in OS X through the Network settings System Preferences Network - select Wi-Fi - click Advanced then TCP/IP - then click 'Renew DHCP Lease' Click OK Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 26 May 2014, at 2:06 pm, Julie Bedford jew...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hi all, I was typing an email and the following box popped up on my screen.

Re: Apple TV, iPad iView
Hi Laura The first thing I would try is to restart the modem, as if it's had slow downs this can affect it as well. Power it off for a minute or two, then power it on again. After another few minutes then try accessing iView again and see how it goes. It could also be a hardware issue in the modem itself (or wireless) or some wireless interference from surrounding houses that has changed recently as well. (Modems tend to last about 3-5 years on average)….. But I'd try a power cycle of the modem first and see if that improves it.

Now, for whatever reason, after several false starts the process usually works but last evening it was hopeless. The programme would start, go for a short while, then stop and revert to showing only on my iPad. No matter how many times I tried the result was the same. This morning, as an experiment, I tried using iView on my MacBookPro, choosing Airplay to send to Apple TV. Again it does not work, stops and starts on Apple TV and the sound is distorted. This would not be my preferred way to view but thought it worth a try. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think the problem may have started with the updated iView web page but there are some programmes that still work seamlessly e.g. Australian Story. I have checked Settings on AppleTV but can see nothing untoward there. Software is up to date.

It's my feeling that by the time the message has been generated, and I've launched the LAN scanner and waited for it to scan the network, the DHCP server has already resolved the problem. I scarcely bother about it anymore. Real problems show up through actual use. For example, a device experiencing an IP address conflict will not be working properly on the local network or the internet. In most cases a simple restart with sort it out.

Re: Ram for MBPro 15 8,2 (2011)
Hi Chris, Firstly, I¹m sure that Daniel can tell you local pricing and track down the correct memory for your specific model though, unless he fancies a road trip, Dunsborough might be a bit far for a service trip to fit it ;o)) Alternatively OWC is always a good site to check not only do they match the correct RAM to the correct model (you just select your actual MBPro model from the available menu) they also have videos showing you how to install it. OWC website http://www.macsales.com/ Page for MacBook Pro memory upgrades http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade Installation videos http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/ I have used OWC for RAM several times as, like you, I am in country WA and I have found that I can order online and get the RAM shipped from the US quicker than more local suppliers can get it to me in Albany - the service has always been very quick and they offer lifetime warranty on their RAM http://eshop.macsales.com/Service/warranty/owc-memory.cfm Macfixit http://www.macfixit.com.au/apple-memory-ram seem to be an Australian outlet for OWC but for my last order it was actually cheaper for me to buy direct from OWC in the US. Of course, no matter where you buy it, if you are fitting it yourself you might find the OWC installation videos handy ;o) HTH Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

If possible are you able to give me some advice on what is the 'correct' ram to use and what sort of cost would I be looking at? I didnt know what to expect so did some searching online. I checked the apple.au http://apple.au store and they dont stock it. Also a site MacRam which sells 'premium 16gb kits' for about $250 and 'value range 16gb kits' for about $220. I have asked the local Busselton Computer west store for a price as well. Many thanks for any help Chris Christopher L.K.

Re: Ram for MBPro 15 8,2 (2011)
I just noticed you included the model no in your subject so the specific 16GB product for your MBPro 15 8,2 (2011) seems to be: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S16P/ for US$194.99 + $2.99 international mail delivery + $0.50 shipping Insurance (to WA 6281) They offer a number of different shipping options but the international mail delivery is the cheapest and is what I used in March this year it was very quick how can they do that for $2.99?? I also had a bonus? when I got a replacement iPad charger from them not only was it cheaper (genuine Apple part) but it came with the US power adaptor normally that might be a disadvantage but as I already have (several of) the AUS power adaptor I¹m now covered if I visit the US ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
