Re: Calendars
Hi Severin, Mountain Lion is all about integration with iCloud - iOS and all devices. You sign into OS X Mountain Lion using your Apple ID, which then triggers iCloud, iTunes, the Mac App Store and FaceTime to set up automatically. If you do not have an iCloud account, you can set one up. Then, with iCloud set up and running, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Messages and Find My Mac all easily sync once. Severin, if you want to 'Store' a Calendar On My Mac and not Merge it with iCloud: 1. In Calendar Preferences Accounts, disable the iCloud account (there's a simple tickbox). All the iCloud calendars will disappear from Calendar's list. 2. Now you can create a new calendar, and it will appear On My Mac. Make sure that the new calendar does not have the same name as any of your iCloud calendars, to avoid Calendar being tempted to merge them later. 3. Go back to the preferences and re-enable iCloud. All the iCloud calendars will reappear, and your File New Calendar menu should now give you the choice of creating in the cloud or locally.

Many thanks Ronni. Now that iCal is happy it is probably best to go with the flow and leave it as is. Who knows, I may go out tomorrow and buy an iPhone and an iPad and then I will be glad of the setup! On second thoughts, it is forecast wet with possible hail here tomorrow so I may stay in the warm and leave the iPhone and iPad for a day or so!

Re: Wednesday 12 September for new iPhone?
Yeh later year (October) is looking pretty likely for iMac. Don't think you'll see it September as they don't want to take too much hype from iPhone/iPad and keep the two Separate. And vice versa.

using itunes with iphone
Hi Muggers My better half wants to put some tunes on her iphone 4S to use while driving to work in Busselton. I am not sure if I can do that from my laptop and iTunes or set her laptop up to do it (MacBook G4 with itunes 4.7)? I tried to access itunes on her laptop last night but received a continuous error 'cant connect to itunes, check internet connection'. It turned out that iTunes 4.7 doesnt connect and after a very long time googling I found a link to iTunes 9.2 that I have now downloaded and installed, and it does connect to itunes. Now Im just not sure what to do next to get the music from my laptop to hers then to her iphone! Any advice and help on this is warmly appreciated Kind regards Chris Christopher L.K.

Re: Mountain Lion Download
Hi Tim, When you mention the Download fails... what happened, did you get a error message? Or has the download just paused / stopped? If when downloading OS X Mountain Lion and the download is stopped, click on Launchpad in the Dock and you will find a Mountain Lion icon with the word “paused” below it. Click on the icon and the download will continue. I found I had to do this often during the course of the Mountain Lion downloading.

Re: using itunes with iphone
Hi Chris, The most common way to get songs onto your iPhone from iTunes is as follows (though there are other ways) 1) Load the songs into your iTunes library by purchasing or importing. 2) Connect your iPhone to a USB port your Mac via the docking cable. 3) Sync your iPhone with your iTunes library to get to songs onto the phone. So just to expand a bit on step 1). * Open up iTunes * Click on menu item File | Add to Library... * navigate to your mp3 or m4a songs and click open. You can also add songs to you iTunes library by purchasing them from the iTunes store or ripping a CD that you own. If you need more help with any of the above please post back.

Re: using itunes with iphone
Hey Carlo Thankyou very much for your detailed post on this. I am not sure if Cath's iphone once synced with my laptop itunes to transfer the songs over, can also be synced later with her itunes on her laptop? I thought Apple doesnt allow this or various devices are only linked to one machine and if they try to sync with other machine all will be lost!? Maybe this is just a myth I have heard?

Re: using itunes with iphone
Hi Chris, You need to continue to sync using the same computer that your wife's iPhone 4S was originally setup on. I would imagine she would have connected it to her computer to setup and sync whatever she wanted to have on her iPhone.

Re: Mountain Lion Download
Hi Ronni, Re Network - Telstra Cable. Generally get results of between 12 - 18Mbps on Speedtest.net In the App Store, I purchase Mountain Lion then clicked on Purchases pane and watched the paint dry as the download started Other updates, such as Pages and Numbers were coming through at 350kbps each at the same time, just Mountain Lion was so slow. The 'time left' would vary from two hours to 2 days, fluctuating up and down each few minutes. This went on for a couple of days. Some of that time, about 6 hours, we were shaped back to 56kbps, but once the normal speed returned overnight, I noticed no significant difference in the speed the numbers were changing on the download. Now and again, I would pause the download, then restart it after a couple of minutes to see if I got a better connection - if that makes any difference I don't know, but it never made any difference to the speed I was getting. The final crunch came when I had got close to the end and then a message came up in the AppStore that the download had failed, or stopped. It was in red. and the line that had shown how much I had downloaded disappeared like it had never downloaded anything. It's not the first time I've had problems with largish downloads from the App Store or iTunes. My son tried three or four times on his PC to get the last updates through for his iPad and iPod Touch updates. And I had to have several goes to download a Combo update a few months ago. It's just not reliable. Downloads just stop and disappear, gone to cyberspace. Yes I looked for the 'Paused' in the App Store. It's not there. Network is Telstra Cable Cable Modem is a Motorola Surfboard SB5101U Router is Snap Gear 300 Computer is Mac Mini Late 2009 OSX is 10.7.4 Normally downloads and network connections are adequately fast and reliable. I'm in the middle of really needing my computer to work properly for me now, and don't need the distraction of this, so I was going to leave it for a while. I had assumed it was caused by server load. But if yours took 4 hours - wow, that's shows it CAN work and is fast (ish) :-) Tim On 01/08/2012, at 11:27 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Tim, When you mention the Download fails... what happened, did you get a error message?
