Re: Problems Logging On to and Changing Pwd for MobileMe
Hi Blitto, I'm away for a 'Mini Break' Daniel is going to kill me for answering :-( Because your friend has gone about this in an unusual way, really not the correct manner, he might have to resort to the last solution. This sometimes works: go to System PreferencesMobileMe; sign out. In place of your username and password, enter any old garbage: this will of course be rejected. Now enter your correct username (without the '@me.com') and password. See if this is accepted; if so try mounting your iDisk (command-shift-i). If it doesn't, go to the MobileMe website, http://me.com (sometimes that address shows only 'Resource not available', but you can get usually in through https://auth.apple.com/authenticate ). Click on the Account button (the one with the cogwheels) in the toolbar, log in again with your password, click on Password Settings in the left sidebar, and change your password. Now return to System PreferencesMobileMe and enter the new password. Check it works by mounting your iDisk (command-shift-i). Failing all this, you could try signing out in System Preferences, then creating a new user account on your Mac and signing in to MobileMe in System Preferences there. If that works you should sign out (and you can delete the new user account) and you may find that this will have kick-started it, so to speak. If none of this works, it's time for Support: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme In the left sidebar click on 'Account Billing' and wait for it to expand. Click on 'Member name and password' and you will get a link at the bottom of the page to 'Live Chat'.

Some people are are finding some fixes to their log in problems with MobileMe but many (like me) are not. Seems there’s a massive backlog of problems that apple are having to deal with with and they’re overloaded and can’t meet the support demand – understandable. Maybe your access to the local Mac users group here can help. Here’s my problem - I’m not interested in synching my email, calendar, etc certainly not at this stage so my issues are simply related to the work I’ve done with iWeb and publishing my two sites to MobileMe. (which up until recently seems to have worked fine.) Problem started when I wanted to find out more about why my two sites were not displaying at the same time. Ie. I got the same site address given for them so only the one listed at the top left in my iWeb workspace would display. I since found that my second site should have been allocated a different URL which not only had my name but the name of the site tacked onto the end of it. **Anyway was trying to log in via the MobileMe sign in page (www.me.com) to research info but could not get in with my password so went through the reset password process. All the problems began there – couldn’t get in and then went to Mobile Me via the Systems Preference pane – I was already logged in there and did the wrong thing by logging out and trying to get back in – didn’t work anymore. Everything I read on the forums tells me the reset password isn’t working properly. Right now the biggest issue is I cannot change or get into my mobile me via the system preferences – consequently can’t change any of the webpages or publish changes. The iWeb publishing display page is showing that I have no space left on iDisk which is the other problem I need to address but can’t. Not sure where to go now – definitely some problems between the way MobileMe is not allowing me to set up a new password even though I’m a registered user on 60 day trial. I need to take a break from it and let my brain unscramble. Hopefully will issue some info or fixes.

iPad and overseas travel
Hi, I tried the idea of getting a local iPad micro sim when we arrived in England, but ran into a snag because the settings for accessing the provider are downloaded through iTunes, and as we only have the iPad with us it means we can't actually set up the micro sim. Has anyone found a solution to this? Of course, we normally find there is wireless access at our accommodation, plus at cafes and restaurants. So, we can still access the Internet every day.

Re: Windows can't see the network card
Hi Paul, Thanks for your suggestions. I tried Device Manager and the Ethernet Controller and Network Controller both had a yellow question mark alongside. So I put the Windows XP CD in and used the Hardware Wizard to update the driver but I got the message that it Could not find the necessary software. In the Network Connections panel there are two connections showing: 1. One says Connecting through WAN Miniport (PPPoE). When I click on it I get a message that Error 769 : The specified destination is not reachable. If I double click the get the LAN Connection StatusSupport there is no IP address listed. 2. The second connection shows LAN or High Speed Internet 1394 connection. On my stand alone PC this panel shows Local Area Connection Connected, VIA PCI 10/100Mb fast Ethernet. Any clues as to what needs tweaking? On 09/09/2010, at 5:36 PM, Paul K wrote: It could also be the IP Address of the Windows Mac. Make sure the first four sections (octets) are the same as the other two machines. Try to 'Ping' between the machines. It's easy, try Google. To check if the drivers are the problem right click on 'My Computer' select 'Manage'. When this opens look down the list on the left for 'Device Manager'. You are looking for a warning beside 'Network Adapters'.

Re: iPad and overseas travel
Hi Susan, If not connected to a computer with iTunes running you have to enter the corresponding APN data manually. Settings Cellular Data APN Settings APN I found I had to do this with my Telstra Pre-Paid micro-SIM card as it had not activated while connected to iTunes before I had to leave on a trip. So In Settings Cellular Data APN Settings APN I typed telstra.iph (without the quotes). Check with your provider what the APN settings are.

Calculator
Good morning all A simple question and I'm sure there is a simple answer! I regularly use Calculator (4.5.3 in Scientific Mode) and when converting currency always update the current exchange rate, Now for whatever reason when I press update nothing happens. Not of major importance as I know there are many other currency conversions available but I do like things to work as they should!! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Calculator
Laura, this doesn't answer your calculator problem, but using the Unit Converter widget alongside your calculator might be easier in the sense that exchange rates are accessed each inquiry, therefore no need to manually look up and amend exchange rates. The Unit Converter widget is amongst those which come preinstalled on your Mac.

Re: Calculator
Thanks Steven. I do have an Easy Currency Converter widget but Dashboard always seems slow to load meaning I have to wait for all the various items, clocks, weather etc to appear. I find Calculator in the dock a much better option for a quick currency conversion.

Re: Calculator
Good morning all, I tried the calculator currency and the update doesn't work for me either. The widget on my iMac i7 (OS 10.6.6) gives an instant response.

Another Device is Using your computers IP Address
Hi WAMUGersI've had this once or twice now.This morning I was the only one up, no one else on their laptops or phones (lazy buggers were still asleep)My internet connection went off and I got this message:"Another device on the network is using your computers IP address (192.168.#.#)Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems change the IP address of this computer."Restarting my wireless router seemed to solve the problem.Should I be concerned or is it just my wireless router playing up?I have WPA Personal password protection on my wireless router.thanksBlitto Rod Blitvich-Amy Sam’s Dad. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0409 681 256 rb...@iinet.net.auhttp://web.me.com/blittoI haven't lost my mind.it's backed up on disksomewhere! --TheWAMacintoshUserGroupMailingList-- Archives-http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines-http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe-mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: Another Device is Using your computers IP Address
Hi Rod, Just a thought in network settings (network, advanced, TCP/IP) there are various ways to set-up IP addresses the two more common ways would be: Automatically: Configure IPv4 ³Using DHCP² where the router assigns the IP addresses Manually: Configure IPv4 ³Manually² where you manually assign an IP address to each device Unless you have a special need/preference for assigning manually, most people would choose the automatic option. If you have got everything set-up automatically EXCEPT for one device with a manually set IP, it would still work until the DHCP router assigned another device the same address at which point you get a conflict. As I say, it¹s just a thought but it might just be worth checking the TCP/IP settings for each device which can access your network. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Another Device is Using your computers IP Address
Hi Rod As long as you're wireless network is locked down with password, then that message is generally fine. I get that here sometimes if one of my machines goes to sleep but doesn't realise the IP Address correctly. (Or if I'm out on a similar network to home). Then when I come back, or the machine wakes up, it has the same IP address as is already there. Like you, I just do a restart on the router or Airport and all is good. I could manually set them all, but I find automatic works fine 99% of the time. And everything is locked down and I hide the SSID (Wireless name), so feel pretty ok with the network ;o) Hope that helps.
