Movies on the iPad 3
Good afternoon all! I have started ripping my DVDs' to watch them on the iPad and or AppleTV, but it appears that the only way to watch them is to import them into iTunes (or iMovie) first and open them in the Videos App. Have I missed something here? or is this the only way?

Re: Movies on the iPad 3
Hi Adrian, Importing into iTunes is the standard way to get movies onto your iPad or Apple TV. Some ripping software will put them into iTunes for you directly. Others WAMUGites will know better than me about the options out there. For viewing on your iPad, if you are at home rather than travelling, you can stream the movies directly from your Mac. The streaming software will convert on the fly from many formats (WMA, flash, etc.) to iPad suitable .m4v / .mp4. I use Air Video for this. You buy the low priced iPad app and download the Mac side of the software for free. Cheers, Carlo On 29/03/2012, at 16:03 , Adrian Skehan wrote: Good afternoon all!

MS Word used to deliver Mac trojan
Hi 'MUGites, If you run Microsoft Word beware of opening unsourced Word documents. A new attack targeting Mac users relies on them opening a Word document that exploits a flaw in MS Word to install a trojan on their machine. Here is the summary for a news aggregator site that I follow: Welcome to the age of targeted attacks, Mac users. Perhaps having grown tired of owning Windows machines around the world for the last few years, attackers have now taken up the challenge of going after Macs with the same kind of targeted attack tactics that have served them so well in the Windows world. Researchers have found a new attack that employs two separate pieces of malware, a malicious Word document and some techniques for maintaining persistence on compromised machines, and the campaign is specifically targeted at Mac users. The command-and-control domain involved in the attack is located in China and the attack exploits a three-year-old vulnerability in the way that Office for Mac handles certain Word files, according to researchers at AlienVault, who discovered and analyzed the attacks. and here are the two articles linked in the summary: https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/maccontrol-trojan-being-used-targeted-attacks-against-os-x-users-032812 http://labs.alienvault.com/labs/index.php/2012/ms-office-exploit-that-targets-macos-x-seen-in-the-wild-delivers-mac-control-rat/ The articles do not say if the vulnerability has been patched in later version of MS Word.

Re: Slow URL loading
Hi John, I was a bit suspicious of the solution because you said you had tried Firefox and it also had a problem. So it was not clear to me why two different browser would have a problem at the same time. If it is a problem with Lion that slows down internet connections you would be the first one to find such. So I guess I have a couple of questions that may help identify the source (or not). Are, in fact, both Safari and Firefox slow on your Lion installation? Are either slow on a Snow Leopard installation if you still have one? Try connecting you MacBook Pro up to someone else's internet / router and see if the problem persists.

Re: Slow URL loading
Ah yes, a Mac mini of course. When I glanced at the email trail I saw Ronni's specs by mistake and not yours. In any case if there is no problem with Snow Leopard then your internet connection is likely not the problem. Have you had OS X Lion installed for long? There are a number of processes, Spotlight indexing in particular, that run for a some hours after the install. These can slow down the response of the whole system. Is your Mac mini connected by Wifi to your router or is it an ethernet cable? Also how is your Macbook connected to the router?

Re: Slow URL loading
Hi John, Did you ‘Empty the Cache’ as I mentioned in my previous email? Empty Cache and Reset Safari are under Safari (in Menu bar). If Safari is still slow in Lion: Close Safari, then if you don’t have your ~Library showing: Open Terminal. Type or copy and paste chflags nohidden ~/Library/ You will then be able to see ~/Library in the Finder. Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/. Delete the Cache.db file. Restart Safari and you should be all set. Cheers, Ronni On 30/03/2012, at 8:50 AM, John Thompson wrote: Thanks for the response Carlo.

Re: Slow URL loading
Ok. Let us know how things turn out. I would double check the Wifi strength. Failing that it could be a router setup problem when more than one Wifi client is attached.
