Hi Rick, There is a free iPhone guide you can download from the iBook Store in iTunes. http://itunes.apple.com/au/book/iphone-user-guide-for-ios/id423864828?mt=11 I guess the problem might be that you will need to manual to learn how to get the book onto your iPhone. :-D Cheers, Carlo On

Hi Matt, While I am not in favour censoring, we as yet have no indication at all that Telstra will do anything other than block child porn sites -- which to me isn't a bad thing. The worst case scenario is that some corrupt official manages to gain control of this process and by some as yet

I don't know about Google DNS - never tried it - but I have had the OpenDNS servers set as the DNS servers in my Billion router for a couple of years (at least) now and have noticed NO slowdown whatsoever. I didn't bother with setting up an Open DNS account - I just use their DNS servers. I

Hi, Can someone point me to the right download to Mac OS 10.5, apparently I need to upgrade iTunes 9.2.1 to iTunes 10 to activate my iPhone 4. I have downloaded iTunes 10.3.1 but now need to upgrade to Mac OS 10.5. Thanks. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives -

Re: 10.4.11 to 10.5 Upgrade

Hi Rick You can't download 10.5 from 10.4, it is (was) a purchasable upgrade. Though you can't buy it anymore, except perhaps from some second hand sources. But there is no real way to download a copy from 10.4 to 10.5. I can see if I've got anything lying around if you were chasing one if you

Hi Rick, I believe that you can still can purchase the 10.5 disk through Apple phone sales. You can call Apple Australia phone sales on 133 622. I was after this disk last year and they still sold them over the phone then. Good Luck!! Kurt On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 6:31 PM, Daniel Kerr

Re: Telstra starts censoring the internet

Evening, If you are a Telstra customer and connected by such you are being filtered. DNS as Ronni has stated before is to change an IP address into english, a URL. Most sites they are chasing are IP based, so the filtering will be done before it reaches DNS servers. OpenDNS servers are based

Re: Telstra starts censoring the internet

Hi Rob, Don't confuse filtering with censoring. I can choose not to use SPAM filters or Virus Scanners. That's the difference. As Ronni mentioned, the problem is that once the infrastructure is in place to block web sites at will, then those in power will use that ability to their advantage.

Using iTunes Film Description Field

Is there a method to provide a description to Films, TV Shows, etc in iTunes that is longer than about 250 characters? (iTunes vers 10.3.1) Movies downloaded from the iTunes Store have an embedded description viewable in the iTunes application. Descriptions can be quite detailed and lengthy.
