So if I understand this correctly, Apple has told you that an ethernet port in an Apple computer is no longer supported? Can you be more specific about the port, computer, etc? Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

I'm somewhat puzzled in that I run Snow Leopard and use my ethernet connections all the time without a problem. -- James Leo Ryan -- Austin, Texas -- <taliesinsoft(a)me.com>

I run Snow Leopard and I have this odd problem with my ethernet. There keep being usenet postings that don't make much sense to me. All of them are comming through my ethernet connection. Must be an ethernet problem. :-) -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

A: I had the Mac store tech install it, since I was down there for the iPad anyway, hoping my word processor and graphics programs would survive. They did, though the former is a bit balky. No one hinted that the upgrade would destroy my address book. B: I had, as it happens, a backup of the address book, but the new OS refuses to open it. C: A whole afternoon on the phone with Apple techs(it took more than one), trying assorted ploys to restore the address book and my ethernet connection between Airport and the old computer, along with ONE other problem, which was solved, produced the following results: I have to reconstruct as much of the address book as exists in a hard-copy version I take along with traveling. The ethernet connection is useless. So far I've had little time to explore the possibilities of the iPad, but I already have a couple things I need to call Apple about. Fortunately I have 90 days of support for both.--well, 89/ -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
