Re: 3 Sim card

[Jane Griffiths]

That's twice I've seen a reference to APN regarding the use of other  
sims in an unlocked phone. For the benefit of this less SIM-savvy  
wamug'er could you please explain what APN is all about.



Could this APN stuff be the answer to why I can't get onto the web on  
my unlocked (UK purchased) Samsung phone, as it only lists UK based  
WAP providers.  I've been through all the settings and can't see how  
to enter local (ie Optus) WAP details.


At least I know my iPhone won't have this problem when it eventually  
arrives.


Thanks

Cheers
Jane

Re: Phone 'chips' (was Old Phone)

[Neil Houghton]

Hehe Though, to be fair, Powerwatch seem to be in the business of
telling you how bad EM fields are and then selling you stuff to
monitor/protect you:

Mobile phones are bad! 

EMFields has been established to provide high quality measurement equipment
and screening products to protect people from the ever-increasing levels of
Electromagnetic radiation, or electrosmog, in our environment.


So Willau-Tronic would be a competitor to EMFields which seems to be closely
aligned to Powerwatch.

Personally, I'm amazed that in Australia we have more mobile phone
subscriptions than people! - and I'm probably more concerned about the
social aspects than the radiation/medical effects - but then I am an old
fart!...

When I were a lad, WE never had a phone in the house... You had to walk down
the road to the phone booth and play with "Button A" and "Button B"

Cheers

It turned out the fault was VERY obscure! In MAIL - preferences -

Maybe the effect is in the potential difference between the pretty gold 
ink and the thick black ink. I think I'll call it the 'pretty thick' 
effect :-P


Drifting further off-topic here...

I believe the barriers that exist between people these days, that I hope 
mobiles etc help overcome or mitigate, cause us more damage than the 
phones themselves.

Maybe texting is a little bit safer?
I know I'm happier these days since my Mum has finally taken up texting. 
Fills the gaps between calls.

You have probably done this but sometimes my Epson scanner does this

However is no success then I shut down my computer and restart.  So 
far that has worked.

Have the above scanner but it has stopped scanning documents.
Have tried re-setting everything as per instructions but still no luck.

Re: Sharing Screen over the internet

[Travis Hansen]

Thanks to all that replied.

First up I tried iChat. No need to try anything else!
Because we BOTH have Leopard, we both started an AIM account, started
an iChat, and finally "requested" screen sharing and voila!

No need to set anything up behind the scenes. The only thing is that
dad's internet is very slow (256) so video conferencing is very grainy
and delayed, and screen sharing is very very delayed (esp with a 20"
monitor). So I just need to beef up his speed. Ease of setup though
was true "Mac" style!

Cheers

Hi Barry

Just in case you might be interested, mobile phones can be made a 
lot safer, (for children and adults) with the use of phone chips. 
They counteract the electromagnetic waves emitted from the phone 
(without interfering with its operation).  Willau-Tronic, a company 
based in Germany, have produced such a chip (E-Smog Handy chip).  It 
is a small bit of circuit with a chip, and is fashioned so you can 
attach it to the battery of the phone.  I do notice a difference 
with a chip attached.


There are other organisations that produce safety devices to attach 
to mobile phones.  Google might be able to help,there.


The first mobile phone chip I ever got was for my niece (then seven 
years old) who had just got a mobile phone so she could keep in 
touch with her Dad.


I'm not sure if there are still distributors in WA or not. There 
used to be several individuals who sold them.


Willau-Tronic makes chips for computers too.   I use one on my Mac 
24" computer and the screen/computer no longer gives me a headache.


Anywise, as there are people that make these wonderful inventions it 
would seem there are also people who make inventions so they are 
safe to use.

Re: upgrade hard drive in apple tv ,how

[Kyle Kreusch]

Hi Bart

Yes I have upgraded a hard drive in a Apple TV For a friend of mine
it's pretty easy to do but does avoid your Apple warranty

He thought he had nothing to lose anyway as a ready Had done all the
software hacks and the Apple care warranty only had 12 days left and
he wasn't going to buy a AppleCare

I would be interested to know if that Apple service technician can
open the apple tv without avoiding the warranty But am pretty sure
it's like the iPods

Hope I have helped

If you want any more information about taking a apple tv to pieces
just let me know

Re: Dubai

Yep. Any other SIM card.

So long as you have the right air interface and frequency it should  
work. You may need to get an APN, username and password to get on the  
net with it but everything should work with the configuration in the  
carrier's SIM card.

Re: domain name registration - for .mac/.me

[Glenn Nicholas]

Hi Gary,

If you want to use your website for business and be found by search
engines, then you are going to have to give iWeb a big shake - the
defaults are not your friend.

As it stands, your website will be ignored by Google et al. iWeb's
fault, not yours - it is optimised for simplicity/beauty, not search
engines. Maybe not a problem for personal photo galleries / family
sites. But for a business site, search engines usually matter.

If you are curious about this, here are a few things you can check on
your site and see for yourself:
- use View, Page Source and look what is between the  
tags - your page titles are blank. Books have titles, so do web pages.
Search engines pay a lot of attention to the keywords in page titles
to figure out what they are about, and return page titles when
delivering search results.  Unique, descriptive titles for each page
are a critical first step for search engines.
- other than your domain name, your content is invisible to search
engines.  Pick any of your pages and use View, Page Source to see what
the search engines see of your content - nothing.

iWeb also has Javascript for menus, which block search engines from
following the menus to index all your pages.

These links show the issue is pretty common (2nd article provides a
way for you to create unique titles and kill the Javascript menus):
http://seo-expert-marketing.blogspot.com/2008/04/seo-and-apple-iweb.html
http://www.ragesw.com/blog/2008/04/12/seo-for-iweb-how-to-get-your-iweb-websites-into-google-other-major-search-engines/
http://www.delamainit.com/articles_how-tos/web_design_seo/seo-guide-iweb-and-dot-mac-.mac.html

So to use iWeb for business you might have a learning curve to make
your site search engine friendly, it just hasn't been designed from
this perspective.

Re: Old Phone

[Shapelle McNee]

Hi Barry

Just in case you might be interested, mobile phones can be made a lot 
safer, (for children and adults) with the use of phone chips.  They 
counteract the electromagnetic waves emitted from the phone (without 
interfering with its operation).  Willau-Tronic, a company based in 
Germany, have produced such a chip (E-Smog Handy chip).  It is a 
small bit of circuit with a chip, and is fashioned so you can attach 
it to the battery of the phone.  I do notice a difference with a chip 
attached.


There are other organisations that produce safety devices to attach 
to mobile phones.  Google might be able to help,there.


The first mobile phone chip I ever got was for my niece (then seven 
years old) who had just got a mobile phone so she could keep in touch 
with her Dad.


I'm not sure if there are still distributors in WA or not. There used 
to be several individuals who sold them.


Willau-Tronic makes chips for computers too.   I use one on my Mac 
24" computer and the screen/computer no longer gives me a headache.


Anywise, as there are people that make these wonderful inventions it 
would seem there are also people who make inventions so they are safe 
to use.


Cheers
Shapelle

Just for your information my Grand-daughter is 13.  She has a 
medical condition which is potentially serious so she need a form of 
communication in emergencies.  I the past six months she has made 
about $15 of prepaid calls, not enough to cause major problems I 
would have thought.

Hi Barry,

Without being too much of an alarmist, how old are your 
grandchildren? I am surprised to see children quite young  (as in 8 
and below) using mobile phones.  Mobile phone companies simply 
brush off the dangers of mobile phones, but they are a health 
hazard - do your own research and you'll find enough evidence to 
alarm  you. I have been concerned for various emissions such as 
electromagnetic radiation and those from telecommunication 
installations for more than 15 years - there's plenty of material 
there to help us make an informed choice; I find it ironic that a 
number of years ago, while the public in the UK were being issued 
with brochures on safe use of mobile phones (including the 
forbidden use for children between the ages of about 5 and 11) in 
the USA, Motorola signed a multi-million dollar contract with 
Disney to provide mobile phones to a similar age bracket. If anyone 
has any doubts on the dangers of mobile phone emissions from either 
base station towers or the phones themselves, speak to any armed 
forces communications officer.  In New York city, they have been 
removing trasmission antennae from residential apartment blocks.


Remember that smoking, asbestos and DDT were once considered safe.

I carry a mobile phone for emergencies and NEVER leave it switched 
on next to my body for long periods. It's also not hard to find 
recent statistics on the number of car accidents caused by using 
phones whilst driving as compared to the benefits of having a 
mobile in a dangerous situation.


Australia and the Mobile Carriers Forum are really back in the dark 
ages and are doing very little to inform us - if it doesn't matter 
to you then that's a personal choice - as for us, our daughters (4 
and 8) already discuss the dangers of the overuse of mobile phones 
(yes, I shall be holding out as long as possible before allowing 
them to have a mobile).  Mobile phones are making certain companies 
very, VERY rich with total disregard to the impact on the health of 
our society.


Oh, besides health, I met a colleague's son who at a conference 
admitted that his last phone bill was "around $3000" and his 
friend, "around $1500".


Gosh...what did we do without them?

Regards

Phil

With so many people showing an interest in getting an iPhone is 
there someone with an old unlocked phone they have replaced.  I am 
looking for something for one of my Grandchildren who tends to 
destroy phones with great regularity so it needs to be reasonably 
cheap.  Bells and whistles are not required but it must pass the 
"not daggy" test.  Also should be unlocked so current Vodaphone 
SIM card can be used.


Thanks

Barry

Re: Dubai

[talez]

Actually if you're on a contract with a monthly service fee you can  
have the phone unlocked at any time for free. My unlock came through  
today and I just have to sync it to iTunes to complete the process.


I've got a friend coming over tonight with a 3 sim card so I can test  
the speed of the iPhone on the network.

If you get your domain name working Gary, let me know.



I've got it working

I had to purchased their domain manger for an extra $19/yr
I went back to  me.com and followed the directions for personal domain name
 which directed me back to netregistry
whereby
 in the administer domain section>zone manager I created a  new  CNAME -entry
back at  me.com click DONE and  my Personal Domain Name showed up

clicking  my now active domain name  came up a with an error message.

I figured I wasn't being directed to the right page.
so I opened up my web site in safari web.me.com/. copied the home 
page address

and went back to  netregistry
this time in consol/domain manager>redirection and pasted web address 
into the Pointing URL box - ( check the default stuff doesnt stay) 
saved

now it works properly

note:  I rang netregistry technical help for some assistance, whereby 
I was asked if I was following the direction correctly and was told 
normally you are given an address to be directed to! hence I copied

Hope that helps.

I rented 'HouseofBruce.net' through Netregistry last year, then tried to get
it delegated to my .Mac website. Didn't work.

After conversations with both Apple and Netregistry, and some
googlesearching, I was left with 'it's the other guys fault.'

It was a frustrating but not mission critical problem for me, so I haven't
followed it up since.

However, when I send them they still show my e-mail address as  
@it.net.au. Thus any replies sent to this don't reach at my  
address but don;t have it any longer - only the  isn't even in my MAIL account system any more!


I've tried to reload MAIL, but without success - can't find it as  
software on the OSX install disc. Would I need to reinstall OSX to  
do this


How can I force MAIL to send my e-mails from the correct   
and/or show that on the e-mail headers,


Thanks,

Dick Anderson

Re: Dubai

[David Ring]

Steven

I have a number of colleagues that successfully use their iPhone in  
Dubai, however prior to use they did need to get the unit unlocked. I  
understand that this may not be an option with the later versions of  
the iPhone software?


As for sat nav, there are databases available for Dubai but I'm not  
sure what platforms they have been written for. Vehicles that have an  
integrated sat nav have their databases installed and updated at the  
vehicle service centre but as for stand alone units, you could try  
contacting companies such as Garmin to see if they can assist? It  
would definitely be worth further research though, especially as you  
get settled in. Finding your way around Dubai is challenging at the  
best of times!


Regards,

David

Hi Steven

I really wish I could be of more help to you here, but unfortunately  
my total knowledge of Dubai consists only of many hours spent in the  
Emirates (very nice) lounge on my travels to the UK.  I know someone  
who travels to Dubai on business quite regularly and will ask him  
your questions later today.

Hi Jane

Seizing on your mention of Dubai, I shall be relocating there on 18  
July. Do
you know whether the iPhone will work with either of the two local  
carriers
there? I've been hanging out for the iPhone to reach Australia, and  
when it

does, I move somewhere else where the iPhone officially is not.

Also, do you happen to use a sat nav whilst in Dubai? I have a  
TomTom but

TomTom doesn't have a map for UAE apparently.

Cheers, Steven

Hi Alastair

I didn't make myself very clear, sorry. What i meant was that i have
an unlocked phone in which i use a Telstra prepaid sim at home here,
then when I travel to the UK I use a prepaid UK sim card there.
I thought international roaming was allowed on Telstra prepaid?  
but I

might be getting mixed up with my husband's Optus prepaid which does
have international roaming.

I do know that when in Dubai I have to use an Optus prepaid sim to
enable me to send text messages to Oz as the Telstra prepaid is
"banned" from doing so by the Dubai telecoms. Quite an endless round
if sim card swopping goes on when I travel!

Just going off on a rant here, but another thing that annoys me  
about
prepaids is that I can't receive picture texts (are they MMS??)   
from

international numbers. This is one of many questions I have for the
iPhone carriers.

Regards
Jane

Hi Jane

iPhone aside, I was interested to hear you use your pre-paid  
telstra

sim abroad - I have the same but to roam abroad they make me go on
to a temporary contract, which I then have to undo when I get back.
How do you do it?

regards
Alastair

As much as I would like to, I won't be getting an iPhone tomorrow.
I feel I need more time to understand the intricacies of the
various carriers' plans.
I only have a pre-paid telstra sim in an unlocked phone (for use
overseas as well) at the moment and my mobile phone usage is very
low, so only the lowest cost plans would be of interest to me. I
notice that Optus offer an $80 unlocking of the iPhone on their  
pre-

paid plan so that might be tempting.
I will be going along to somewhere selling the iPhone tomorrow  
just

to have a look at one, as I must be one of the few Apple fans that
has actually never seen the real thing!

Hi All!

Just for a bit of fun, it would be interesting to know if any
wamuggers are going to get an iPhone tomorrow?  Or will you wait
and see when there are decent levels of stock available.  I think
there will only be a handful of iPhones available here tomorrow,
with more in the next few weeks.  Nothing like a bit of "sold so
fast" publicity to keep the hype going ;-)

Seeya

Rod!

@it.net.au. Thus any replies sent to this don't reach at my
