Hi Rob, I will do a Tutorial over the next day or so and upload it to my website, showing you that it does work using the steps I explained below. I did the process again today so I could take screenshots on my iPad to do a Tutorial. I took a few photos on my camera and connected to iPad using

This is the reply I posted to the article below: I'm sorry, but complaining about a $35 adapter is frankly silly. Why don't you go complain about car manufacturers charging an atrocious $400 for a replacement key remote instead - a far more nefarious example of corporate greed than Apple's

Totally agree with you Martin on all you have mentioned below. This is classic Tall Poppy Syndrome and jealousy of Apple's huge success! Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 17/09/2012, at 2:31 PM, Martin Hill marth...@iinet.net.au wrote: This is the reply I posted to the article below:

It is a common ploy to defend oneself by saying that everybody else is doing it. Throw in some adjectives such as silly, ridiculous and tall poppy syndrome to add to the mix. The issue of ethics in business is the sub-text of the article. At the more literal reading the author of the article

Merv, my apologies if I expressed myself a bit too strongly in my comment. I do in fact agree absolutely about the importance of ethical business practices but feel the examples given in the article were just so inaccurate as to damage the author's cause. I have been frustrated in recent

No need to apologise, Mat. I thought the article would be provocative and I understand you shooting from the hip in your response. I am glad we are both on the same wave length with respect to ethical business practices. Merv On 17/09/12 8:52 PM, Martin Hill wrote: Merv, my apologies if I

G'day Martin, good dialogue on this one. Email me off line about Land Rover key fob replacement. I'm doing a battery replacement myself and new shell, all for $40 I hope. I hope I'm not too late for you. Sorry for hijacking but wanted to help a fellow mugger. Regards Pete

Hi Ronni I don't have the iPad here - it's still with the boss in Switzerland... Your description of Dropbox is as I remember it, with one exception. I don't remember seeing the + at the top of the uploads section. I could only see the contents of my camera roll, not the other events/albums
