Whether it says 'connection unavailable' or ? You could try changing the DNS settings on both iPads. Set the DNS address on both iPads to run FaceTime to 8.8.8.8. To do this, Go to the settings on the iPad and then find the wireless network you are using. Then tap on the blue arrow which is next to the network name. There you will be able to access the DNS number, just change it and save the settings. Then go to FaceTime and see if you can connect and use FaceTime. Note: write down the DNS that currently appear in Network settings in case you need to revert back to them.

But then John is probably using the phone number for iPhone and of course email address for iPads. So iPad to iPad with same email address Apple ID would NOT work. But, you can get this to work by creating a new email address on one of the iPads. How to Use FaceTime With the Same Apple ID Do you want to place calls between two iDevices using the same Apple ID? By default, all devices connected to the same Apple ID utilise the primary email address associated with that Apple ID. This emails they'll all ring if a FaceTime call is placed to that email address. It also means you can't place a class between two devices, just as you can't use one home phone to place a call to your house and answer it with another phone. But luckily, Apple has provided a rather easy workaround for placing FaceTime calls on the same Apple ID. To place a FaceTime call between two of your Apple devices, you will simply need to add a new email address to one of the devices. This will allow FaceTime to differentiate between the two and place a call to a specific device. You can add a new email address to FaceTime in the iPad settings. Simply select FaceTime from the left-side menu and tap your finger where it reads Add Another Email... Once you add a new email address, you must verify it by going to that email's inbox. There should be an email waiting for you from Apple with a link that will verify the email address. (If you need to send the verification email again, you can do so from the same settings screen where you added the email.)

Re: New German iPad.
Sorry, I should have said this is on Snow Leopard. Safari is version 5.1.5 and is running in 64 bit mode, the Flash Plug-in is version 11.2.202.235, and the sound is not muted. And some other videos play just fine! It finally occurred to me to switch over to the Lion partition, and it works there - highly amusing, as advertised. I haven't been using Lion - decided I would wait for Mountain Lion before I committed to giving up SL. I only tried Lion because I was interested in iBooks Author. Tried that and decided it was too primitive and clunky, and have gone back to SL and InDesign to carry on with my eBook project.

A Cautionary Repair Tale
Hi Wamuggers, Having equipment serviced by an unauthorised dealer may be a false economy. To quote a news aggregator site that I follow: The combustion of an Apple iPhone 4 after a regional flight in Australia was likely caused by a botched repair of the handset by an unauthorized repairer, according to air safety investigators in the U.S. and Australia. A small metal screw had been misplaced in the battery bay of the handset. The screw punctured the battery casing and caused an internal short circuit, making the iPhone emit dense smoke. and here is an article that was linked to by the summary: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/299453,botched-repair-likely-cause-of-rexs-smoking-iphone.aspx Cheers, Carlo -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Re: transfer epub book to ipad
Hi Chris, ePub format you want and iBooks.app installed on your iPad.

They do have a very good range at reasonable prices. After arranging for a refund from Fishpond, I did a search and some ebooks came up on itunes, as well as Borders. Both have a good range and prices. Is their a difference in the type of ebook format between them or are they the same in terms of downloading to the ipad? Best regards and thankyou very much Chris On 04/05/2012, at 4:50 PM, Laura Webb wrote: Hi Chris Ages ago I had a similar problem with Fishpond and eBooks and no longer use them. I did suggest they should offer a warning for iPad users but it did not happen. I find Borders to be very reliable with instant ebook downloads to my iPad.

It feels really good to have been a part of it by using macs all these years and certainly bought up some memories!! For example I had forgotten that Apple had licenced other companies to make similar machines and I didnt realise that Apple had gone so very close to going under!! I have been offshore for the last 6 weeks and while away ordered an ebook from Fishpond to use on my ipad (v1). However I just wanted to ask what is the best way to transfer this epub book to my ipad: via itunes after download to my MBPro; by direct download from Fishpond to the ipad, or some other way, as it is the first of such books I would like to buy and use on my ipad? Hi Chris, I just noticed no-one has answered your question. :( Unless Fishpond have changed; Fishpond eBooks cannot be downloaded, they have to be read online. There is nothing obvious to indicate that the purchase of the ebook won't allow download and you can read it offline on your iPad. But I just tried with a free eBook just to see if Fishpond had changed, but no... It can only be read in Fishpond online. I did a quick google search and found that one person emailed Fishpond and received a Refund for the eBook he purchased as he thought he would be able to download the eBook to read on his eBook Reader. Hopefully they will adjust their website to make it more clear what the ebook you are buying actually is. Normally with other sellers of ePub eBooks you can download directly to your iPad into iBooks, or to your Mac so you can then Add to iTunes Library and the ePub appears under Library in Books.
