Iphone number wrong
The number shown on my O2 PAYG iPhone as "My Number" in Settings>Phone and at the top of Phone>Contacts is not in fact my number. I suspect this is because I transferred my number from another mobile when I bought it. Is there some way to correct it? -- Richard -- Please remember to mention me / in tapes you... 27 Feb 2010 15:28

MiFi
I have a 3 dongle which I use on my FauxSX Advent/macbook. I also have a number of other small devices that I use from time to time, and sabby has her archos 7. I am almost certainly getting an iPad. Thinking about the price of the iPad, and the micro sim etc, and looking at contracts, I thought the MiFi would b... 11 Mar 2010 04:34

Airport Express - no disk :-(
Hi all, I have an Airport Express that I bought last year and used it once. Now I cannot get it to work properly. I plugged it in and plugged in an ethernet internet cable. I don't have the original software but I used the new Airport application. First of all it wouldn't recognise any Apple wireless netw... 6 Mar 2010 15:11

Usenet Client
New to Macs - had 20 years of Windows and fancied something completely different. Anyhow... On Windows, I used Microplanet Gravity. Is there anything equivalent? Unison seems OK but the message threading is a bit poor compared to Gravity, i.e subthreads end up on a new subject line whereas Gravity put them u... 1 Mar 2010 09:11

Plugging iPhone into TV
If I want to store films on my iPhone and play them through a TV, I can either buy a composite cable or a component cable. I know that on paper component is better quality, but I'm not sure that matters here. What I'm after is something that will play on TVs that I don't own, eg when babysitting, in hotels, etc e... 2 Mar 2010 07:52

1248x702, hmm? Quicktime Player X Weirdness
Now that I know what to search for, I've found this: http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chap ter=106%26section=6%26tasks=true Curiously, if I select "anamorphic" within the FCP sequence settings QT Player X plays back the exported movie at the desired 1280x720 px with neither ... 26 Feb 2010 09:39

Magsafe melts
Off to the Apple Store. Probably will need to buy yet another MacBook power adapter. Taking the old one, though, as there is a known issue with these things: the point at which the lead joins the magsafe connector melts; it has done on this one -it started by having to wiggle it to keep connection, then it started ... 3 Mar 2010 17:34

Iphone app and news.individual.net
I found an app called NewsTap lite for the iPhone - but they want a name and password to get onto news.individual.net. Lord, where do I find this? I reg'd with them 7 years ago. Plus, scroll arrows on the iPhone would be great. I had intended to give up kvetching for lent, but it has not worked. -- bellajo... 26 Feb 2010 16:28
