Re: updates
And can be downloaded from here: For people who prefer to update from Apple Downloads than the App Store as I do.

When I complain to BigPond, they send the usual form letter, which includes the most infuriating excuse for slow network speed. They cite user numbers as a likely reason for a slow connection. Of course, they are correct, as I have better speeds when the numbers thin out. But … it's BigPond that signs up the numbers. It's BigPond that takes the fees from those numbers. Then, BigPond has the gall to use those numbers to explain why I've got slow speeds. It's BigPond that controls those numbers, not me. I maintain that the ISP must restrict the numbers if they are to meet their contractual obligations to users. I, and other users like me, expect a fair go, not baloney excuses based on corporate greed.

Re: Apple Id
Hi Ronni Thankyou very much for your help on this. As Cath doesnt rarely does online activity with her phone, she was surprised when she tapped the App store icon that showed several updates to a number of apps. When she tapped to update the Apple Id loggin appeared and she noticed it had my email as the user name as I had mentioned. She wants to put in her email address as her Apple Id then choose a password. That would be better as then my email and password would remain for my iphone, ipad etc. Should I get her to follow your instructions to change her complete apple id and password for her iphone using her laptop at the apple page you mention?

Re: FireFox won't open web page.
Hi Peter 1. Good to hear you have no problems loading the downloadhelper dot net page. It must be the black storm cloud over that follows me around. Tested again today. FireFox doesn't time out while searching for the site - after about 6 minutes it suddenly displayed a partially loaded page. Other websites appear to load normally within a second or so - e.g. ABC News, Bureau of Meteorology,TUAW, Apple, Comsec. None of these had any caching history in FireFox. 2. I used to have FireFox 3.6 but was forced to upgrade. And iViewFox stopped working. Only used FF for emergencies since. The FF add-on Firebug was recommended to me for the split screen feature while editing in WordPress, hence my renewed luke-warm interest in other FF add-ons. 3. I have a feeling my iMac is not 100 percent fit and can't cope with Mountain Lion. Perhaps it has reached its planned obsolescence use-by date. It shows other strange behaviour from time to time (see other WAMUG threads!) Latest peculiarity was an unusable eyeTV recording of an ABC 21 program yesterday. 4. Not worth pursuing the downloadhelper dot net loading issue; I'll just write it off as another peculiar thing. Probably write off Firefox too.

It seems to search continually but doesn't load. Any rational explanation? I have no problem loading that site with Safari on the iMac or iPad where the page opens within a second or so. DownloadHelper is a FireFox add-on so I would expect to be able to reach the website. I do not have the DH add-on installed, but may do so at a later date. Problem appeared yesterday (first time I ever looked for this site) but I assumed it was a temporary outage. The problem persisted today. I did a clean install of FireFox (ver 15.0.1) after uninstalling the auto-updated version (app and 3 library files) with AppCleaner. I made no changes to the default preference settings. I disabled three FireFox plug-ins installed by default: Google Earth 6.1, iPhoto Photocast 7.0, and Java Applet 14.4.0. I installed one FireFox add-on, Firebug 1.10.3. I understand that websites can identify the calling browser type as well as other data. Perhaps I've been blacklisted because I normally use Safari! Regards, Alan Alan Smith Late 2009 iMac 21.5 Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz 12G RAM - OSX 10.8.2 iPad2; ATV2 No problems here. I haven't updated Firefox in a while, so I started with 7.0, which automatically updated to 12.0, and is now 15.0.1. The downloadhelper page loaded perfectly with each update. The downside is that the few FF plugins I had installed are all now incompatible with 15.0.1, and no suitable replacements can be found. Fortunately I rarely use FireFox so this not a big problem, but if this is any indication of what an update does then I will be using it even less. Since, like you, Safari is my default browser, I doubt if any form of blacklisting has been used (a practice which on the face of it would seem to be extremely self-defeating!). Do you have any problems with other sites using Firefox? I do know that Firefox's behaviour has changed significantly since their new aggressive updating policy came into play, and certain websites which used to load properly in earlier versions of Firefox where Safari would fail are now almost unusable in Firefox.

Re: Apple Id
Hi Chris, You have not mentioned if you wife already has an Apple ID, or if you are both using iCloud / iCloud syncing. My comments are below In Situ. On 04/10/2012, at 10:03 AM, Chris Burton c...@it.net.au wrote: Hi Ronni Thankyou very much for your help on this. As Cath doesnt rarely does online activity with her phone, she was surprised when she tapped the App store icon that showed several updates to a number of apps. When she tapped to update the Apple Id loggin appeared and she noticed it had my email as the user name as I had mentioned. Sounds like the Apps were purchased using your Apple ID and synced via your iTunes Library, is that correct? She wants to put in her email address as her Apple Id then choose a password. That would be better as then my email and password would remain for my iphone, ipad etc. Your wife needs her own Apple ID. Should I get her to follow your instructions to change her complete apple id and password for her iphone using her laptop at the apple page you mention? Some facts to consider before giving a solution: • An Apple ID is linked to each iTunes account. • An iOS device can have apps on it from any number of iTunes accounts • A device can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. • Syncing a device with a new iTunes library disassociates it from the previous library (and deletes the media synced from the previous library from the device). • iCloud accounts store contacts, schedules and email and have little to do with your iTunes content. You probably want separate iCloud accounts unless your wife wants to get reminders for your appointments and vice versa. Given this information, there are a couple of solutions. Solution 1: You and your wife use separate iTunes accounts with separate iTunes Libraries, on two different computers. Here, you each keep your stuff separate, but you can authorize her iTunes library to use media from your account and vice versa. See Apple knowledgebase article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 You still will want different iCloud accounts (if you are using iCloud). Solution 2: You use separate iTunes libraries, separate iTunes accounts, but your wife can sign into your iTunes account in the App Store app on her iPhone and download any of your previous purchases. From Apple knowledgebase article ht1311: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311 The account ID that was synced to the device is displayed at the bottom of each page [in the App Store or iTunes apps], so you'll always know what account you are using on the device. Simply open iTunes or the App Store on your iOS device and scroll to the bottom of any page to see which account is currently in use. You can also see this in Settings under the Store option. I would recommend Solution 1: Then you each have your own Apple ID's, your own iTunes Libraries, Media, Books, Apps etc. I would most definitely recommend using two separate Apple ID's for iCloud syncing. While you can have multiple devices attached to a single Apple ID (as you do with your iPhone and iPad), all of the same information will be pushed to all devices, meaning you would not have the ability to maintain discrete contacts, calendars, bookmarks, etc. Apple ID's in general, and for iCloud use in particular, are really designed to be single user identifiers. The good news is that using two separate iCloud ID's does not prohibit you and your wife, from still sharing App Store purchases. iOS devices maintain separate login information for iCloud syncing, App Store and iTunes account info. So if you decide to go with Solution 1: A) If your Wife does NOT already have an Apple ID she needs to Create an Apple ID at the link I supplied previously: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ B) If she already DOES have an Apple ID (but her iPhone is showing your Apple ID, as your email address is showing. 1. On her iPhone Go to: Settings iTunes App Stores tap the Apple ID shown 2. Sign out. 3. Sign back IN with her Apple ID or her NEW Apple ID (if she has created a new Apple ID in A) Hope what I've written above is clear and helpful to you. Thanks heaps Ronni You're welcome Chris.
