[sussex_mug] Getting photos OFF an iPad onto a PC
Dear all Trying to help a friend out, but I've not got an iPad so don't know the ins and outs. His PC died, so he replaced it. All his photos are on his iPad. He says when he plugs it into the new PC, it will only let him transfer pictures taken on the iPad, and all his other photos aren't an option to transfer. Is that right? Is there any way that he can get all his family memories back onto his PC? (which he will now start backing up!!) Any help gratefully received so I can pass it on...

Re: [sussex_mug] Getting photos OFF an iPad onto a PC
The photos on the iPad will consist of two sections, the camera roll and photos synced from his PC. First thing is to plug into iTunes and do a full backup (not a sync). Just stop the initial sync, right click the iPad and select Back Up. This will give you something to restore the iPad from if you find your photos have all gone. The camera roll can be imported but the synced photos might be more troublesome. Apple would usually assume that you have copies of those photos on your PC because that's where they came from, does he still have his PC hard drive? It might be easier to explore data recovery on that.

[sussex_mug] Mail flood freezes iMac
Dear all My unhappy story may be of group interest. I was using Mail this morning on my iMac when it signalled the download of several 100 emails. Nothing appeared in my inbox but the mac promptly froze and I haven' t yet been able to get it to work. I remember Gilly reporting a similar problem which cleared itself up. When I get time I'm going to carry out the instructions Sam sent me the last time my mac froze. However, I am a little concerned. I've never experienced such problems in all my mac using years until I installed Mountain Lion. May be a coincidence but worth discussion?

Re: [sussex_mug] Mail flood freezes iMac
No spinning doom ball - the mouse doesn't function, but arrow keys can select certain icons and return key makes certain operations happen eg I can get from the users screen to my own segment of the computer, but once there nothing much seems to work - can't get into the menu lists to select force quit, for example, have to press the on/off button to close the computer down.

[sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule
My time capsule has a very strange behaviour. Every so often (perhaps once a fortnight), the green light turns orange and flashes. Yet my network and internet access seem to continue just fine. Has anyone any idea why this happens, and if I should do anything about it? (Usually, when I see this, I restart my whole system.) Thanks for insights!

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule
Also, it may be worthwhile connecting and external USB drive with enough capacity to hold the contents of the TC's disk and using AirPort Utility to archive its contents.

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule
Thanks, Chris and Sam. I'll follow Sam's suggestion. Chris: I have virgin cable going to a modem, an ethernet cable from the modem to a router which connects in to my time capsule. I access everything by wifi, unless there's a problem, when I might use an ethernet cable. The modem is virgin's own and the router is netgear.

OK, so as your access continues uninterrupted, the TC is not dropping its IP address, it could just be checking software updates. I'd still archive it. Chris Webb .

Re: [sussex_mug] time machine/time capsule
Hi Ranulph You could simplify things somewhat by connecting the TC directly to the Virgin media cable mode, the netgear router is a bit superfluous unless you have a specific reason for it being there?

Have got the iMac working again, having typed in the commands you sent me last time. However, the commands weren't recognised and after viewing a long list of other available commands I chose exit and was returned to OSX mountain lion and everything seems to be working.

Hi Philippe, SafariPreferencesSecurityEnable Java Warn your Mum there is also an Enable JavaScript check box in these preferences. Make sure her installation of Java is up to date via software update for best security and watch the news for any hint of Java problems which recently do seem to crop up now and again. If she upgrades to Mountain Lion, Java is automatically switched off after a period on non use - but if she uses it a lot this will not be a problem.
