iPad & iPlayer - working for anyone?
Caz's birthday saw her become the owner of a shiny new WiFI 64Gb iPad. She's very much a fan, but BBC iPlayer doesn't seem to work. We've tried Doctor Who and Top Gear, but all that happens is that the thumbnail comes up but then a 'sorry, this is unavailable' and no play button appears. This seems to be for e... 27 Jul 2010 17:17

IMAP not receiving on mail.app
As of this morning, mail sent to one of my IMAP servers isn't registering on mail.app unless I rebuild the mailbox. Synchronising doesn't work: I have to rebuild. The message is there all right, because I can see it on the iPhone and on webmail, but mail.app isn't picking it up automatically as it used to. ... 7 Aug 2010 09:19

What's wrong with Belkin hubs?
This is the second Belkin USB 2 Plus Hub 7 I've had. The first got red hot and stopped working, the next one stopped working but didn't get red hot, unplugging the USB feed from the Mac then plugging in again got it working. This was on an iMac G5. I got a new iMac, alls well for a while, I then got the spinni... 27 Jul 2010 16:11

GPS background behaviour - Memory Map (and a review)
Just got this (thank you very much indeed to whoever mentioned its existence in the group here), and I thought Zoara would like to know that for iOS4 backgrounding it has taken the route of having an option for "record track while app is backgrounded". Turning it off did indeed fail to ravage the battery while I wa... 26 Jul 2010 08:21

Which secondhand Macbook/Macbook Pro
I am considering getting an Intel Macbook/Macbook Pro and for money reasons it will have to be secondhand. Can anyone advise me known issues which sometimes crop up with particular models, and which model might be the one to go for?

Changing attributes
I'm using Palm Desktop 4.2.1 in OS 10.6.4, on an Intel iMac. I use it because I'm used to it, it perfectly fulfils my needs, and I find it easy to update across two Macs, a MBP and an iMac. For years now I have done this by synching a Palm TX to the MBP (which is running 10.5.8), then copying the User Data file acr... 26 Jul 2010 04:04
