[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

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

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

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,

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
