Ok, thanks again for this Carlo. I've ebay'd a 1TB external drive so I have the space to do the operations below. It will probably arrive with FAT formatting. I presume I will need to reformat the new drive to OS Journaled so it can accomodate the sparsebundle files (4GB). Is this right? The

Hi Lynn, You use the iPad adapter to charge the iPad, that is the correct Adapter for the iPad ... not the iPhone Adapter! Just look under the adapters until you find one with “10W USB Adapter; that is the one to use to charge the iPad. All the iPods iPhones use the iPod USB Adapter. Cheers,

Well done Peter! The new drive will help you sort things out for you Time Capsule and besides will be useful afterwards for future upgrades when you want to make a clone. You are exactly right about the formatting. Make sure you use a GUID partition table and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Ronni, I am grateful for this discussion - I had no idea the two had different chargers. Now I know, and have marked the iPad charger (why doesn't Apple put some kind of clear differentiation on them? Pale-coloured text in 6pt or less type isn't sufficiently visible.). In case other people

Hi Ronni I would also like to thank you very much for this information on the chargers, as I had no idea they were different. Now I know why my ipad takes such a long time to charge!! I will mark them as Pat has suggested. Best regards Chris On 21/08/2012, at 9:20 AM, Pat wrote: Ronni, I

Hi, To follow up on my previous enquiry: Has anyone made use of an Apple Store or reseller to get a copy of Mountain Lion? If so, were you able to get it on a thumb drive or did you need to cart the machine in? I can tell you that there is absolutely no reason why you would have to have
