Re: A bit [off topic]: selling iPad 1
thanks ronni. it should be alright with the adaptors as all adaptors are lying all round the house (yep, i still live with mother... :) thats what mothers are for), so not fussed about which adaptor is for which unit for now - until i or mum decide to sell it and have the correct adaptor to the buyer. thanks for the tip about the adaptors. what i would have done is test the adaptors, have them plugged into the ipad and see which one takes its own sweet time charging the ipad and i know that will be the one for the iphone. as for internet, dont think mum will use it outside the house, she has a mobile usb dongle thing with westnet, but since i have a higher data limit, all computers/ipad/iphone and printers are connected to it. she only uses the dongle thing when my wireless is down. thanks for your advices and tips on everything. --lynn-- - Original Message - From: Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com To: wamug@wamug.org.au Sent: Monday, 20 August, 2012 4:11:05 PM GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing / Hong Kong / Urumqi Subject: Re: A bit [off topic]: selling iPad 1 Hi Lynn, Sorry I did not see your reply post this morning, it somehow slipped under my radar :) Good idea to give the iPad to your Mum... good daughter!

Hi Ronni and Severin, Thanks for your replies. Ronni, I'll follow your advice and leave things as they are as I am not having any problems. However, I am keeping your comments for future reference. Thanks again, Walter On 20.08.2012, at 13:00, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Walter, The best anti virus for your MAC is your MAC OS. There are no known viruses for MAC. Trojans and malware are not viruses. Follow the safe browsing rules so you won't have to worry about viruses, trojans and malware. All real-time antivirus products slow down your computer, that is the nature of the game. So Sophos will slow down your computer. Norton software tends to always be bloated and not really that great to begin with, so I would leave iAntiVirus alone. If you feel you require Antivirus program on your Mac ClamXav 2.3.2 is highly recommended and Free. But DON'T download the App Store version, download from this link. http://www.clamxav.com/download.php# What are the differences between the version of ClamXav available to download here and the version on the Mac App Store? • The App Store version doesn't contain ClamXav Sentry, so it is not able to watch your computer for new files and scan them as they arrive. • There is no engine installation phase as the App Store requirements stipulate that everything must be self-contained within the app. • Virus definition updates are downloaded on a per-user basis. • Updates to the ClamXav app itself are taken care of via the Mac App Store. • Mac OS X 10.6 or greater is required. So to answer your Question: Are they worth having and will they work with my iMac running 10.6.8 ? It is your choice really, if having virus protection on your Mac is going to make you feel safer (more protected) go ahead. Personally I don't feel they are worth having. And Yes, they will run on your iMac running 10.6.8, just make sure you download the version compatible with OS X 10.6.8 Cheers, Ronni On 20/08/2012, at 12:07 PM, F.W.

Re: adaptors - was A bit [off topic]: selling iPad 1
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 didn't notice, the short connection cords are also different, so the thin one is matched with the 5 W charger, and the thicker one with the 10 W charger. Thanks very much!

Re: adaptors - was A bit [off topic]: selling iPad 1
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 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 didn't notice, the short connection cords are also different, so the thin one is matched with the 5 W charger, and the thicker one with the 10 W charger. Thanks very much!

Re: Getting Mountain Lion if your internet connection is too slow
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 your machine available in order to get a copy of Mountain Lion unless the store/reseller intended to download onto your machine from the App Store rather than just provide you with a copy on thumb drive or DVD. It seems to me that if you could provide sufficient proof of your right to have the software it is a waste of time and extremely inconvenient to insist on going through the download process. Thanks to Sev I've upgraded with little hassle.
