Hi Adrian, Importing into iTunes is the standard way to get movies onto your iPad or Apple TV. Some ripping software will put them into iTunes for you directly. Others WAMUGites will know better than me about the options out there. For viewing on your iPad, if you are at home rather than

Well, that didn't work for long. Turned the computer on this morning and back to the same old problem. Tried with my Macbook running SL and all worked just fine. Can't help think it is something to do with Lion. Have had no end of little problems since installing same. John On 29/03/2012,

Hi John, I was a bit suspicious of the solution because you said you had tried Firefox and it also had a problem. So it was not clear to me why two different browser would have a problem at the same time. If it is a problem with Lion that slows down internet connections you would be the first

Hi John, Did you ‘Empty the Cache’ as I mentioned in my previous email? Empty Cache and Reset Safari are under Safari (in Menu bar). If Safari is still slow in Lion: Close Safari, then if you don’t have your ~Library showing: Open Terminal. Type or copy and paste chflags nohidden ~/Library/
