Re: Temperamental Mountain Lion!?
Hi Ronda! Thanks for your help and apologies for the reply off list. I haven't had a chance to reply in detail as a family problem has arisen (Illness), Will attend when sorted.Many thanks!

So I will reply to it Onlist to WAMUG. You have cut off the rest of my email and haven't replied to the other questions I asked? Without being able to physically 'see' your computer and your setup; trying to isolate whether your problems are Network related or System related is difficult and we need to ask questions. How Much RAM (memory) do you have installed? (Check by going to the Apple symbol in Menu Bar 'About this Mac' -Memory ?) How much free space on your Hard Drive? (Click once on the icon for your hard drive to select it, then a) From the File menu, choose Get Info or b) right-click (control-click) on the icon and choosing Get Info - Available: xxx.xx GB? Do you have any incompatible Apps that could be causing conflicts? The best way to check your applications is of course to run them and check to see if any unusual behaviour occurs. If things don’t look quite right, open up - Activity Monitor from the Applications Utilities folder and track down the errant app or process to see what it’s CPU usage is like. You should soon be able to tell if things aren’t quite working as normal. Do you have a lot of 'unused' Applications open and perhaps running in the background? If so Quit some to see if that helps. Is your Desktop clean? Doesn't have heaps of files on it. OK, I'll try to reply to what you have answered below: I notice by your email address your ISP was Highway1, which is now Zetta. 1. Do you have a ADSL 'Line filter' connected between the phone line access point(Wall Jack) and the Modem? (The filter is the first connection into the telephone wall socket). Your speed can be slowed by line noise due to unfiltered devices. The ADSL modem does not need a Telephone line filter. But every other service connected to your telephone line needs to have a Telephone line filter installed (i.e. Phone, Fax, Alarm, Foxtel, EFTPOS). 2. What program were you using to download a file when Safari says you are not connected? U Torrent Does Safari give you this message ONLY when you are downloading using U Torrent? Because your Internet Provider has mentioned your connection speed is 'average' for your location (3KM from centre). I would suggest perhaps your connection is not fast enough or stable enough to be using both a Web Browser having a Torrent downloading at the same time. 3. Many people complain their computer is slow, when really it is their Internet Connection that is slow. My Internet provider tells me that they've checked out my connection speed and it is average for my location (About 3km from centre) What Speed did they say you should be receiving? What speed are you receiving? http://www.zetta.net.au/support/broadband-speed-test/ 4.What are your Network settings? PPPoE DSL or PPPoA DSL Yes DSL; but I meant your Network Settings in your Modem/Router? I've checked Zetta and the configuration they recommend is: Encapsulation: PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) Multiplexing Method: LLC-Based VPI: 8 VCI: 35 IP Address: Auto Assigned DNS: Auto Assigned Highway1 was PPPoALLC I find using PPP0A LLC-Based is normally slower than using PPPoA but DON'T change any settings if Zetta set this Modem/Router up for you. I had not heard of Zetta until I did a search this morning to see who took over Highway1. 5. Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router Model; F5D8635-4v1 TCP/IP - IPv4 Address: 192.168.2.7 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.2.1 Configure IPv6: Automatically DNS Servers: (Greyed out) 192.168.2.1 You can login to your Belkin Modem to check settings by opening Safari and typing 192.168.2.1 in the Address Bar. The Belkin does not ship with a password (unless anyone has changed this), just click submit. Your Belkin Manual will explain everything for you. Do you have the setting Stay Connected selected in your Router? I Don't know how to do that! The Home page is the first page you will see when you access Advanced User Interface by typing 192.168.2.1 and login as above. The home page shows you a quick view of the Router’s status and settings . All advanced setup pages can be reached from this page. In the left panel there should be 'Internet WAN' which shows your Modem-Router Setup - connection Look for Disconnect after x minutes of no activity – make sure this is NOT selected has '0'(not checked, unless you specifically want the modem to disconnect after x number of minutes).

difference in ipad2 and new ipad
hi guys thinking of going to garden city on sat to see what i can get on opening day (for those thinking of going, could make a field trip outta it??). but my main purpose is to get my ipad. for those who have had ipad2 and new ipad, is there any difference you found with them? as far as i can tell, the only difference is that the new ipad is HD (does it make a difference to your viewing?) and a faster chip, which doesnt even make a difference in speeds in Aust. Correct me if i am wrong and feel free to add. if there is not much of a difference, will get ipad2. thanks. regards lynn P/S: yes i have read the tech specs on the ipad section of apple website already. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: difference in ipad2 and new ipad
Hi Lynn, Here is a good article comparing the two models: http://www.pcworld.com/article/252964/new_ipad_vs_ipad_2_which_is_the_better_deal.html Apart from the screen there is a difference in the graphics processor and of course 4G if you are getting the mobile enabled model. I personally would go for the new one.

Re: difference in ipad2 and new ipad
Hi Lynn, If you are not in a great rush, perhaps might be worth waiting a little longer. I still have the original 64GB Wi-Fi 3G iPad and waiting for the iPad 4 ;-) There have been reports that Apple will launch two new tablets during 2012: a smaller iPad Mini September 2012 and iPad 4 October 2012. Will Apple do this? Well we don't know for sure... :-) Do a Google search and you will find Rumours Reports.
