Hi, Pat A client of mine had a similar problem last week with his magic mouse, The problem turned out to be the batteries so I would suggest you change the batteries to a fresh pair or to another brand. It is most likely something else if you have the original batteries that ship with the unit

Stuxnet -- another reason to switch

Hi fellow Mac users, We can feel both smug and relieved today. Iran's nuclear program has been set back two years by an MS Windows-specific virus called Stuxnet. Much as I am heartened by switchers, this is one case where I am happy they didn't. :-)

Hi Lynn, I think that is not the expected behaviour. Are you sure the plug is seated correctly at both ends? Is the cable frayed? I am curious as to why you have such an old version of iTunes. The update released today was version 10.1.1. Cheers, Carlo On 2010-12-16, at 14:01,

Perfectly normal Lynn, /Quote: This really shouldn’t be a shocking thing to anyone with some basic common sense. The iPhone and iPod can charge via USB, but they’re tiny devices compared to the iPad. The iPad has a mammoth battery that’s 5 times bigger than the iPhones, so it’s not surprising
