Hi folks, Yesterday, after months of deliberation if I should or should not install Lion on my iMac 2.16Ghz, I decided I would bite the bullet. I have been concerned that it might slow my older iMac down too much. So at 2:45 pm yesterday I began the download. By the time I went to bed about 10

ICal has started to tell me that it can not log in to iCloud because the password is incorrect. Though I set up an iCloud account I do not use it at all. I see that iCal is checked though. This is a new phenomenon and I have not changed anything. I have confirmed my Apple/iCloud log in

Hi Severin, 1. Make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping. 2. Go to iCal Quit iCal 3. Go to Apple System

Nope, can use the same outlet to run the phone and modem. No need to get another point. As long as the iMac has wireless (Which given a rough guess it should do), then they can have it all in completely different places. 99% sure off the top of my head BoB light has wireless built into it.

Hi Blitto, You can use the same outlet for both analogue phone and ADSL -- and of course you can use the same phone outlet for VOIP phone and ADSL seeing the VOIP phone just uses the internet connection in any case. The second option is called naked DSL where you do not have an analogue phone

Hi Rod Most of them come with one in the box. It will plug into the wall and then the phone and modem plug into it. So you shouldn't need to get anything. Oh, wait..except make sure they have the new phone socket (RJ45), you know the little small plug that looks like a small Ethernet point. And

If you are going with iinet (like I have) they will give you the splitter thing and may give you anything that you need because they want you to be connected. Rick On 14/07/2012, at 11:58 AM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi Rod Most of them come with one in the box. It will plug into the wall and

Wireless Security Problem

Hi everyone Someone has been using our wireless network. Yesterday I had a message from iinet to say we were about to be 'shaped'. When I looked at the usage there is an enormous amount of activity since Tuesday 10th July much of it when we have been out or glued to the TV watching Le Tour.

Hi Diana, Change both passwords on the BoB2 change your Wireless Network password to WPA2 and use a Passphrase 8-63 characters password (13 characters is good, use a combination of letters numbers). Cheers, Ronni On 14/07/2012, at 1:12 PM, Tim Law wrote: Diana, If you have a simple
