[sussex_mug] Getting photos OFF an iPad onto a PC

Dear all Trying to help a friend out, but I've not got an iPad so don't know the ins and outs. His PC died, so he replaced it. All his photos are on his iPad. He says when he plugs it into the new PC, it will only let him transfer pictures taken on the iPad, and all his other photos aren't

Re: [sussex_mug] Getting photos OFF an iPad onto a PC

The photos on the iPad will consist of two sections, the camera roll and photos synced from his PC. First thing is to plug into iTunes and do a full backup (not a sync). Just stop the initial sync, right click the iPad and select Back Up. This will give you something to restore the iPad from

[sussex_mug] Mail flood freezes iMac

Dear all My unhappy story may be of group interest. I was using Mail this morning on my iMac when it signalled the download of several 100 emails. Nothing appeared in my inbox but the mac promptly froze and I haven' t yet been able to get it to work. I remember Gilly reporting a similar problem

Re: [sussex_mug] Mail flood freezes iMac

Could be anything from a corrupt email to a bad block on the hard drive, is everything else working ok without the spinning beachball of doom? Regards Sam MacAmbulance Providing affordable Apple PC services Sam Mullen 07747 778022 http://www.macambulance.co.uk i...@macambulance.co.uk On 8

Re: [sussex_mug] Mail flood freezes iMac

No spinning doom ball - the mouse doesn't function, but arrow keys can select certain icons and return key makes certain operations happen eg I can get from the users screen to my own segment of the computer, but once there nothing much seems to work - can't get into the menu lists to select

[sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule

My time capsule has a very strange behaviour. Every so often (perhaps once a fortnight), the green light turns orange and flashes. Yet my network and internet access seem to continue just fine. Has anyone any idea why this happens, and if I should do anything about it? (Usually, when I see

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule

Hi Ranulph You can find out what the problem is by opening Applications Utilities Airport Utility when the Time Capsule is flashing orange, it should explain what the error is. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Providing affordable Apple PC services Sam Mullen 07747 778022

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule

Also, it may be worthwhile connecting and external USB drive with enough capacity to hold the contents of the TC's disk and using AirPort Utility to archive its contents. It could be turning up its toes. Chris Webb . Principal MacService Woodside, Brightling Road Robertsbridge, East Sussex,

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule

Thanks, Chris and Sam. I'll follow Sam's suggestion. Chris: I have virgin cable going to a modem, an ethernet cable from the modem to a router which connects in to my time capsule. I access everything by wifi, unless there's a problem, when I might use an ethernet cable. The modem is virgin's

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule

OK, so as your access continues uninterrupted, the TC is not dropping its IP address, it could just be checking software updates. I'd still archive it. Chris Webb . Principal MacService Woodside, Brightling Road Robertsbridge, East Sussex, TN32 5EL t: 01580 881212 f: 01580 881313 m: 07770

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule

Hi Ranulph You could simplify things somewhat by connecting the TC directly to the Virgin media cable mode, the netgear router is a bit superfluous unless you have a specific reason for it being there? Regards Sam MacAmbulance Providing affordable Apple PC services Sam Mullen 07747 778022

Re: [sussex_mug] Mail flood freezes iMac

Have got the iMac working again, having typed in the commands you sent me last time. However, the commands weren't recognised and after viewing a long list of other available commands I chose exit and was returned to OSX mountain lion and everything seems to be working. I tried to use Onyx to
