Re: Thoughts on membership
I have been pondering the comments from Peter and Eugene and their reasons for not being able to pay the $30.00 membership fee. I feel the need to say I was rather disappointed in some of the responses to those comments, and refer to the comment below. It is not for us to judge what is or is not a significant amount of money to someone else.It is also not very wise to be as simplistic as the comment below, about such things. It might work out to 58 cents a week but thrown on top of other expenses people have, $30.00 cannot always be found.I had a young school girl knock on my door last week, fund raising for something, and when I told her I did not want to participate she told me it was just the price of a cup of coffee after all. How patronising! She was given a rather stern talking to and sent on her way. Please don't respond to people's honest expressions of why they cannot meet the $30.00 cost in such patronising ways, it really does demean you.

iPad problem
Good morning EveryoneI received my lovely iPad last night and have had troubles with it ever since :-(I thought it should all be fairly straight forward as per my previous Apple goodies, I connected it to my iMac and went through the registration process. Email downloaded okay, I then synced it with iTunes and music and photos downloaded. Since then it seems to be stuck on the Apple logo screen. Once or twice it has come alive and I have tried to use it but it quickly goes back to the Apple logo screen. It came on to the home page this morning so I tried to open iPhoto but all I get is 'Please wait updating library' with a spining grey wheel going nowhere and then the Apple logo again. How do I shut it down fully? From what I have read I gather I am supposed to hold both buttons together until the red slide appears but that slide never appears.

iPhone - Airplane Mode
Good morning all There has been some 'discussion' at work about leaving phones in the 'Airplane Mode'. According to the health and safety people (Australian Government Department), even when phones are in that mode, dangerous things can happen to people using headset telephones should a call come in.This seems illogical to me as I thought once the phone was in 'Airplane Mode' the telephone part of the phone was turned off completely thereby making it just an iPod sort of thing, if you get my drift. I have done some searching on the internet about this but can't seem to find any answers. Does anyone here have any knowledge about it?At the moment we are required to turn our phones off completely when in any area where headsets are used, not allowed to put it into 'Airplane Mode'.

Re: Slow Printing Problem
Hi Diane One question on your printer problem, have you changed the paper thickness option recently?I had to print something out on to very thick paper and changed the option on my Brother laser printer to reflect that and I then forgot to change it back to normal paper. The printer ran very slowly which made me realise something was wrong and once I changed it back it ran at its usual speed.

Re: Wireless issues
Greetings All The wireless network is now working and both laptops are backing up to the Time Capsule, at last.I have to give thanks to Ronni who was checking the archives and wrote to me with a few suggestions, one of which worked.It was simply that I was not pressing the reset button on the Time Capsule for at least five seconds, that was the only problem. I also took Daniel Kerr's advice and went back after everything was working and set the Time Capsule to Bridge Mode so as not to have the Netgear Time Capsule both giving out IP Addresses. You do this in Airport Utility (when it can see your Network). Double Click your Base Station (which shows in the left column), then click Internet - at the bottom of the window Connection Sharing set it to Off (Bridge Mode).

Lost wireless network
Greetings All We have a wireless network using a Netgear modem and Time Capsule for automatic backup and wireless printing.We have one MacBook Pro and one MacBook on the network both running the latest version of Leopard. A couple of days ago the MacBook could not back up to the Time Capsule saying something like the volume could not be mounted. I decided to have a look at it today and told it to rejoin the network (I can't remember the exact steps I took) and now, the wireless network cannot be found :-( by either machine. Using the Airport Utility to scan for the network, it scans and reports it cannot find any wireless networks.The light on the Time Capsule flashes amber which seems to confirm that it cannot find the network. I was thinking of setting up a new network but would like just get it working on the one already setup if possible.Can anyone give me any advice please? With thanks.

Re: iTunes Authorisation
Michael, I know this won't help, but I have this exact same problem with four iTunes songs, it goes round in circles asking for reauthorisation etc etc. All other iTunes songs play with no problems, it is just with these four. A friend of mine had a similar problem a couple of years ago and he contacted Apple and they were able to resolve the issue for him. I am planning on doing that soon.

As far as I can tell all my settings have been preserved and firewalls are the same. In other respects I would say the upgrade to Leopard has resulted in a generally snappier performance - maybe that is just the benefit of a nice clean disk after an Erase and Install.

Re: iPhone Terms Conditions
We used to pay to make and receive mobile calls a few years ago but with the arrival of competition, that has changed. If we make a mobile call to another mobile phone using the same provider, there is no charge to the receiver. However if we make a mobile call to another mobile on the competitors system, we all pay. At the moment though, the mobile companies are vying to get service contracts with the ex-pat pilot group and are willing to offer all sorts of incentives including no charge to the receiver no matter which company they are with.I have noticed our SMS is much cheaper than in Oz.
