Many thanks Ronni and Daniel, After Daniel's email I went to my iPad to do the setup again - and it had done it all except for a few prompts! Obviously humans are becoming obsolete!
All appears to be there - so hopefully I can get a good night's sleep tonight now! It's so good to be able to turn to WAMUG for some expert help and re-assurance when the stress levels are rising.
