Hi, I believe Margaret wants a manual that takes her through the usage of the MAC Lion OS, not VOice over. Examples would be safari, mail, etc. There is help which might assist in this area. Sean On 29/10/2011, at 7:58 AM, Margaret Booth wrote: Is there a user guide for the MacBook pro

Hello Bill, If you previusly used Snow Leopard with VoiceOver you should have no major problem moving to Lion. Set your mail to classic view and that will work much the same as before. iCal is rather different and in my view better. If you use that let me know and I will tell you more. Version

Downloading iOS for AppleTV

2011-10-29 Thread Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith
Hello everybody Our Apple TV has crashed pretty spectacularly. I'm wondering wether anybody happens to know whether and, if so, from where I can manually download iOS5 for Apple TV second generation? Thank you for any help on this. I'd like to fix it if possible before Gordon comes home.

I am now in possession of an iPhone 4 8 GB! It is free as part as a 24 month contract, with 600 minutes, unlimited texts, the internet, all for £37 a month. I will keep you updated on how things go with it. It is charging as I speak. Registration was successful and VoiceOver has been enabled

Hi Chris, I'm a little bit curious as to why you didn't go for the iPhone 4S instead of the 4, since the 4S is the latest one. I suppose it's either because it was too much, or you just didn't need the extra specs. Anyway, have fun with your iPhone regardless. :) Regards, Nicolai On Oct 29,

Two things. 1. The 4s is not free on a contract. 2. I didn't need the extra specs. Siri sounds just too good to be true in my opinion. I'll use Voice Controls for what it is. Maybe in two years time I might get the 4s. But who knows. Let's not wish my life away too much lol. On 29/10/2011

I think I'm going to buy the 4S sim free over here. When you do the maths, it's actually cheaper for me to remain on my existing plan, buy the phone sim free than to take the free 24-month contract. Of course it's a lump-sum up front but hey ho. On 29 Oct 2011, at 19:16, chris hallsworth

Hi! Well, CHris is United Kingdom, and I know the iPhone can be had pretty cheap on Contract over there. Unlocked it's about £600 I think, but someone managed to get it for hardly anything from Orange on contract. So, I suppose it depends on your options, too, and whether or not the carrier

Yes. For now the iPhone 3GS or the iPhone 4 is in fact cheaper worldwide in any way shape or form, free or otherwise. Apple always seem to charge the earth for current models but a lot less for perhaps the last two earlier models. On 29/10/2011 19:39, Dane trethowan wrote: If I may comment

The price of the iPhone plans here is horrendous. Chris mentioned his cost 31 sterling. For an equivalent plan here you're looking at about 85€ up. That's why the maths I mentioned earlier make sense. But as Nick says everyone, and every jurisdiction is different. Dónal On 29 Oct 2011, at
