iPad/1Pod USB Connections
Hello everyone Another Senior moment. I have muddled up the leads from my iPad and my old Classic iPod. They look exactly the same except that on one the white plastic portion is 10 mm deep and on the other 16 mm. Does anyone know which is which? Will it matter if I plug in the wrong one?

Opening Keychain passwords
-- I've never consciously used Keychain, but if I open Keychain Access in Utilities, it shows me I have 16 entries. I presume these are put in by applications, when I answer 'Yes' to 'Save this password?. -- If I double-click on a particular entry, it has the option to 'Show Password'. But if I click on this, it asks for a password I may not have. How can I make Keychain Access show me my passwords?

Re: iPad/1Pod USB Connections
You'll be ok - theres no difference except that apple removed some anchoring hooks that were on your older cable (note the little buttons to release the hooks on the end of the cable). They decided the extra anchoring was unnecessary. Dave On 20/12/2010, at 17:00, Diana Graham Stevens diag...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hello everyone Another Senior moment.

Hi Kev, its possible that the phone is busy doing some things polling to
and from the network it's connected too which consumes energy even
though you are in fact doing nothing with the phone.
Yes. I had a similar problem a few months ago. Two things to check.
* That internet tethering isn't turned on: Settings-General-Network
* That some other app isn't checking (polling) the network all the
time. Go to Settings and scroll down. Settings for some individual
apps are at the bottom. Check each app for something suspect. In
my case, the TripIt app had a setting to 'check for new data'
turned on. I turned it off and battery life went back to normal.
{Thinking about it, I don't know why...}

My new 16Gb iPhone 4 loses almost all the battery charge over two days with no

compared to the cheapo mobile I have just dumped?
BTW my new son-in-law of two days, went to Telstra to buy an iPhone and the

Re: Opening Keychain passwords
Hi David, Hi Peter, Just a couple of things to be aware of here: 1) Although the keychain password is USUALLY the same password that you use to access your user account - there are situations where this may not be the case - see for example: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh463.html If your Mac OS X login password is not the same as your default keychain password, you'll be asked for the password whenever an application needs access to your keychain and your keychain is locked. However, if you haven't previously made the decision to change the keychain password or had to reset your login password, then the keychain password SHOULD BE the same password that you use to access your user account. 2) If you can't remember what that is, you'll have to change it to one you can remember. All you can do is boot from your Mac OS X Install DVD (you still have it, I hope) and change your master password. This will let you back into your account if you forget your user account password - unfortunately it won't work for the keychain which will still have the old password. AFAIK your only option then is to delete the keychain and allow OSX to create a new login keychain using your new password: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631 But then, of course, you lose all the stuff that was in the keychain. It's a bit of a bugger really - the more secure you make things, the more vulnerable you are to ancient brain farts locking you out of your system ;o( Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: iPhone battery
Hi Rob, The process described by Eugene is the one to stop background process on iOS (the operating system on iPhone and iPad). Background processes are available in iOS 4 and above so if you have an older version of iOS, background processes are not possible. There is no need to be overly scrupulous about stopping background processes, however. The best part about the iPhone and Apple products in general is the almost impeccable software. Apple deliberately held off allowing background processes until they had overcome a number of engineering problems. So while processes can run in the background they should not drain the battery at any great rate -- though they can contribute to battery drain. The way Apple achieved this was by two new software mechanisms, a unified push notification for iOS and a number of special programmer interfaces that allow background processes only to process very specialised data. But if you do want to kill all background processes to see if it makes a difference, here is a longer version of the process: 1) Double click the home button (the round button at the bottom of the screen). If you are running iOS 4 or later, at this point all the application icons or the running application will move up the screen and a new row of application icons will appear at the bottom of the screen. There is one icon for each process that is in the background. 2) Press and hold any one of the icons at the bottom of the screen. Little red X's will appear in the upper left corner of each running application icon, and the icons will start to jiggle about. 3) One-by-one press each of the red X's until all the running applications have been stopped.

Good Morning all, I dont think its the Apple apps that are the problem so much as some third party apps.

Re: Skype iPhone
I use a number of SIP and VOIP type products on my iPhone and all of them are found wanting with regard voice quality and delay in particular on 3G. I'd hoped to be able to call mobile to mobile via SIP and 3G. Using a SIP or VOIP client over 3G is not up to standard yet in my experience. It is very cheap though, so if you're calling a friend that can put up with delay and tedious 'can you hear me?', then it's passable. Using them via wifi is better, but I've found the best way to use these services is straight from the desktop, or a dedicated VOIP device. My ISP is Bigpond cable My phone provider is Optus. iPhone is a 3G running OS 4.2. An iPhone 4 'may' be better, but I suspect it is more to do with the network than the phone.

Re: Opening Keychain passwords
Hi David, One last thing to try - if you have not tried it already. I am assuming that you cannot remember your original account password because, in your security preferences, you have not checked Disable automatic login and so you do not regularly use your password to login to your account. In system preferences Accounts pane you can opt to change your account password - unfortunately, but logically, you are asked for your old password before you can change to a new password - otherwise anyone could change your password - HOWEVER when you set up the account you would have been asked to give a password hint which (assuming you DID supply a password hint, as recommended) will now be displayed at the bottom of the change password dialogue - so, if you used a good hint, it might just trigger the memory of your old password ;o) The advantage of this method (if successful) is that when you change your account password in this way then your old keychain will have its password changed to match your new password (assuming you hadn't previously done anything to set your keychain password to be different to your account password - see my previous post) and so you will not lose your keychain info. Of course, if this does NOT work for you then I would agree with Peter that you really ought to use your Mac OS X Install disc to reset to a new password which you CAN remember preferably with the aid of with the aid of a good password hint (that only works as a hint to you!) ;o) As I mentioned in my previous post, if you do have to reset your account password using your Mac OS X Install disc this does not actually allow you to reset the password for your login keychain - you still need your old password (now forgotten) to do that. What you will have to do is DELETE your old login keychain (though you could always keep a copy somewhere if you think you might remember the old password sometime). Apple explain this all here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631 Good luck - a password hint recently worked for me for an online login I hadn't used for some time and had no recollection of what password I had used - until I saw the hint!

Corrupt PDFs
Folks, I have been advised of a corruption problem with PDF files sent from myself to an intermediary and thence placed on a website for download via password. The files were originally created elsewhere and copied to me via a 4GB thumbdrive. They were then saved with new names in Acrobat 8 Pro. My originals all open correctly at my end but not after the process, and the corrupt message is not consistent. Any ideas will be very welcome.

Re: iPad/1Pod USB Connections
Thanks David. I see now that the larger one has buttons on the ends that retract the hooks. I thought the larger one was the iPod one but I wasn't sure.

They decided the extra anchoring was unnecessary. Dave On 20/12/2010, at 17:00, Diana Graham Stevens diag...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hello everyone Another Senior moment. I have muddled up the leads from my iPad and my old Classic iPod. They look exactly the same except that on one the white plastic portion is 10 mm deep and on the other 16 mm. Does anyone know which is which? Will it matter if I plug in the wrong one?
