Re: Funny things Siri says

Yeh quite good I thought.

And yes, I managed to pick up two a bit before 2pm I think it was.

I was watching the Whirlpool forum last night about all the people "camping 
out" to get one,..and after they said the line got down to past Cloisters 
Square I thought the chance of getting one was going to be slim. Then reading 
it between appointments today and seeing that some "scalpers" were buying 40-50 
to send to China to sell,..I thought the chance even less. The forums said a 
lot had sold, so I gave up and ordered online (for a 2 week delivery). Then as 
chance had it, I was passing town on the way to another appointment and thought 
I'd try. So swung past. About 10minutes all up and I left with two black 32GB 
iPhone4S. :o)) There was only 1 person in line outside before me, I took my 
card to get the phone then went into the store. Went through very quickly. So I 
wasn't even late for my appointment :))

That just leaves tomorrow to go and get it changed from Vodafone to Telstra and 
port my number (and get a temporary case until I find one I want/like). Then I 
can take it out of the box. Til then, it's sitting smiling at me on my desk ;o))

Kind regards
Daniel

How can you do that I would have it out of the box before I got home ha!

I'm loving all the new IOS5 features both   on the iPhone4 and iPad. Have just 
finished upgrading Ali"s 3Gs and all seems to be working fine

Love the quick launch camera feature for the phone and iMessage works well on 
the iPad

cheers

Yep, one for ME!! I had no intention of upgrading my perfectly working iPhone 
3G S until the iPhone 5 is released, but when Daniel phoned and asked did I 
want him to pick up one for me as well … what could I say … other than  YES 
please!
We did it for Steve didn’t we Daniel ;-)

Re: operating system or new machine

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Jennifer,

As Merv has indicated below, you have not had any replies probably because you 
have not given us enough information to be able to help you.

To be able to install Snow Leopard you require:

Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory (but I would recommend at least 2-3GB Memory)

To be able to install Lion you require:

Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon 
processor Choose Apple  > About This Mac and look at what the Processor line 
says. Look for Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon. 
Anything else—specifically, “Core Duo” (without the 2) or “Core Solo”—and you 
won’t be able to run Lion.

RAM: Lion requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, but the more RAM you have, the 
better your Macʼs performance. 
I recommend at  8GB RAM to run Lion successfully.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: operating system or new machine

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Thank you, Ray, for your help.

I am not quite sure what you mean about memory apart from the 1GB of memory
(as in Apple Menu) - which I understand is the working memory - and the 152
GB of "space' which i understand is the memory still available for
"storage".  My 'understanding' is very imperfect!

This is the info from 'more info'.


  Model Name: iMac

  Model Identifier: iMac7,1

  Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

  Processor Speed: 2 GHz

  Number Of Processors: 1

  Total Number Of Cores: 2

  L2 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 1 GB

  Bus Speed: 800 MHz

  Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03

  SMC Version (system): 1.20f4

I hope this is more complete,
Thank you.
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

I did not see a reply from Ray to the mailing list.
My reply to you via the WAMUG Mailing list was:

/Quote:
"To be able to install Snow Leopard you require:

/End Quote:

So from the information you have now supplied below, your iMac7,1 introduced 
August 2007 is an Intel Core 2 Duo.

Your options are:
You have plenty of Free Hard Drive space on the iMac.
1. You could install Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 with only 1GB memory, but to run it 
successfully I would recommend at least 2-3GB Memory

2.Your iMac7,1 is an ‘Intel Core 2 Duo’ capable of installing Lion OS X 10.7, 
but to run it successfully you need more memory installed.

3. Upgrade your iMac to a newer iMac with a faster processor and more memory.

Hope this helps you.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Funny things Siri says

[Daniel Kerr]

Yeh I did try,..just couldn't get hold of you,..so sorry about that :o)
I decided this time to buy the iPhone outright and go on a different plan for 
12 months. Not tied into anything for two years now :)) 
And I knew Ronni had said she was missing all the iPhone4 features, and seeing 
as I as going in (or attempting to),..and she lives miles away 
(hehe),...thought I'd offer. Don't worry, she hasn't got my bill yet,..mwahaha 
:o)

And I'm fairly picky, so seeing as I don't have a cover or anything for it yet, 
I don't mind leaving it in the box. (Must be my OCD kicking in,...lol). Plus I 
had a stack of work to finish for clients, so I do those things first before 
getting to play with my toys (that's why my iPad2 got sold still in the box  4 
weeks after I got it to a client. They needed one quickly and no stock was 
available,...lol). I'll replace it sometime soon when I know I'll get to set it 
up. :o) hehe.

But yes, looking forward to playing with some of the new iOS5 features. I might 
even get around to putting Lion on the laptop. Once I update Filemaker. (For 
the upgrade,..just haven't installed it yet). 
I wonder how you can upgrade your day to get more hours in it,... :o) hehe. 

Enjoy!

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: operating system or new machine

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Jennifer

Has Ronni has mentioned, yes you have the options to do it.
Just to add on,..
1. Upgrading the memory and to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) would probably be your 
cheapest option and still keep your machine going for another year or two (at 
least). Bump up the memory to at least 2GB or even better still take it to 4GB 
for not much more. It would have 2x1GB in there now, and they would come out 
and 2x2GB would go in to give you a total of 4GB. This is relatively cheap (as 
I did the same for another client recently). It would then run Snow Leopard 
fine, and work with all the things you have now no problems.

2. Slightly more expensive and a bit more of a "learning curve". Again, you'd 
need to increase the memory, plus buying the Lion USB stick to install straight 
from 10.5.8 to Lion. Plus, you'd need to make sure you're not running any 
software that is PPC based as this won't work under Lion. And, as mention, a 
bit of a different learning curve from 10.5.x and 10.6.x.

3. Obviously your most expensive option. Certainly a newer computer would be 
"better and faster" and have everything on it. Plus getting your info from the 
old machine to the new one and "getting to know Lion".

Either option would work, I guess it just comes down to what you want to spend 
etc, and what features or things are needed/wanted/ or used. And based on what 
you've mentioned any of the three would do it fine.

Hope that info helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Lol,.kinda interesting,..."Apple Predicted Siri 24 Years Ago So Perfectly It’s Scary"

[Daniel Kerr]

Thought this was quite interesting.


I remember some of these videos, and one with a Man in a park learning to read. 
He puts the newspaper up to the screen, it gets scanned in, and he works 
through reading it with the help of the computer. 
Always thinking waaay ahead. Lol.

But this article was quite interesting. Out by 18 days,..lol.

Enjoy

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: iOS5 and Lion 10.7.2 with iCloud Support now available.

[Rod Blitvich]

Thanks Daniel and Peter
Common sense prevails.
I shall:
ensure i have a complete up to date backup
wait a few days

then think about doing it

But i guess i have to consider whether home iMac and work macbook should go to 
Lion first?
New macbook air is Lion, so i'm kind of tapped in limbo here.

Fwd: What's New in FMS 4.5

[Merv Bond]

Toward the bottom of this FlashNewz.com email is an item about a meeting 
of the Flash Media Server Users Group at which cross-platform matters 
will be discussed including iOS. Having only just acquired an iPad I am 
a babe in the woods on this topic but new adopters might find it of 
interest.

Re: operating system or new machine

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Thank you all very much for the generous information, suggestions and the
offers of help.  I will now go over it carefully as a lot of the information
contains unfamiliar terminology which I need to understand.  Then I should
be in a position to sort out which option is the most suitable for us.

I really appreciate the thought you have all put in for us.

Best wishes,
Jennifer
