MobileMe asked me recently to upgrade to the new calendar version, which I
reluctantly did. Now if I set up a Calendar entry via iCal and invite others,
the invitation is sent from my me.com email address, rather than the one I
usually use.
I can't see anything obvious, how do I override this
Hello WAMUGers,
Recently there was announced 'certificate hijacking' when using the web to
access SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) sites.
I checked my Keychain to see what was the ‘Default’ setting; to find that OCSP
is not enabled by Default.
It is OFF.
To Enable it:
1. Open Keychain Access from

Thanks for the advice which I have followed.
But I don't understand what 'certificate hijacking' is. It sounds bad.
Can you explain it briefly?

I hope that there is no delay with the 5.00pm delivery time for IPad 2 as there
are over 50 people camped on the street outside the Apple shop in Hay Street at

Hi Everyone
I have an ipod touch (4th gen) that I intend using for our family get
together in April for some music.
Each time I link it to itunes on my MBPro, it asks me if I would like
to update its software to 4.3. I would like to and have tried many
times, only to find it was going
Thanks Ronni. Subsequently found same quote at the support forums also. As I
alluded to at the forums, the move is either sneaky, or stupid, and has put a
dent in my respect for Apple.

I have had number of similar calls in recent months. As soon as I say
that I am a Macintosh user the caller hangs up.

Hi Chris and Nicholas,
I don't think the problem is with the iOS 4.3 update in particular. I updated
some weeks back and it is usually a matter of minutes for the download. I think
the problem may be a general slowdown of the Apple servers related to the
international release of iPad 2. I
Hi Steven,
Such a negative knee jerk reaction does make me less likely to respond. Apple's
objective in serving the majority of its customers may not always align with
your personal objectives.
In any case I have just tested a work around that may or may not be useful in
your case. One can
Thanks Carlo. I appreciate you taking the time to take a look at the problem,
it's a good suggestion. It won't work for me due to the sync issue, but may
work for others.
Yes, my response may be negative, but no apology there. Apple's move is
negative. I don't consider it negative on the basis
Thanks Ronni.
I now have a fairly good idea of what it is about. I didn't notice any stories
about the hijacking.

Hi Steven,
I harbour no hard feelings at all for holding a rational debate. I know that it
is annoying when an application or service does not meet our needs,
particularly when it is a paid service and in your position I may feel the way
you do. I do, however, want to put forward the case for

You have a deeper understanding than me of the underlying technologies
involved, and thanks again for taking the time to explain extensively, it's
appreciated. It's interesting, though pushes the limits of my technical
capacity.

Hi Steven,
I forgot to mention that the wait for the next iteration of Mobile Me may not
be all that long, but unfortunately I don't think it will hold any good news
about the invitation snafu. Rumours are rife that a major overhaul is in the
works. The most persistent rumour is that the

to trace the call, tell them you are really mr whatsisname from the

Hi Laura.
Without letting too much of the cat out of the bag, I have tried to answer your
questions as below.
It is planned to let the whole cat out just after the next monthly meeting!
(Bet that intrigues a few people!!) Oh, and it's got nothing to do with 'Lion',
just that common saying.
Hi Carlo,
Like you, I'm not sure I'm going to like where Apple is heading with MobileMe.
I've been a member from when Dot.Mac was first introduced.

I have not had any of these calls. I read somewhere of an amusing response to
take if you so wish. Allow the caller to rabbit on till they reach the point of
asking you which Windows version you have. Then answer 'WIN 95'. This
apparently is not included in the caller's written script and
I got lots of these calls and I got to the point at each call where I
told them that I don't want what they are selling. That caused
dozens of nuisance calls both on landline and VOiP phones for about a
week.
Seems to have stopped now.

Hi Pete
Thanks for your detailed reply.
I had noted that Paypal and Paymate are no longer an option. As I remember that
was the method I used last year but much prefer the electronic transfer.
I certainly wasn't suggesting non financial members be banned from meetings,

Hi All,
FYI, Version 4.3.1 can be downloaded from iTunes.
What’s new in Version 4.3.1:

• Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular
networks
• Fixes image flicker when using the Apple

Hi Carlo and Nicholas
Thankyou both for your info on this. I will be patient with the
download.
It hadnt occurred to me that the zillion people with new and previous
ipads, iphones and everything else 'i' might also be using itunes!!
It is a pity I cant just download it to my MBPro then do
Yes, I have personally tried this approach I use Windows 3.11 which results
in the same confusion and you can't use that, it's not on my list!! Much
enjoyment for me during this windup.
