after last installation reboot there is no connection. i didnt wana do a fresh install as i am doing 3 open uni courses and dont have time to re-install all my apps .


dunno fresh isntall seems to work according to some others say it does nothing

 

[Ch3tan]

repair the installation maybe?

 

[Yaka]

bit the bullet and did a fresh install all working fine. tho upgrade took less than 40 mins install took 1 hour 20 working fine now.

also installing 1 app at a time is such a bane. multi tasking my arse


anyone dont happen to know what happens when you pass your authorization limit for iphones on pcs? i have 1 more left and could not deauthorize my accounts in previous os installs

I think it knocks the oldest install off the auth list. Not 100% sure on that though. If it doesn't, I'd expect there'll be some sort of contact address or number for any auth problems

Afaik that's not a problem anymore. Itunes - Advanced - Deauthorise

Oh, forgot, you have to get to all 5 first.

 

[TdC]

so you have to reach the limit before you can deauth a machine? wow :/

 

[MYstIC G]

No, you have to reach the limit before apple provides you with a "Kill them all" switch.

 

[Yaka]

thats cool then if they let us de auth pcs like that then.

also seems like i have found my samba probs, im using eset nod32 av and fw ive treid the allow sharing thing in nod32 but it blocks from seeing shares, with fw disabled i can share fine. anyone know what else needs doing to allow samba shares?

Just in case it affects anyone here:

Pirate Win 7 ruse used to build botnet ? The Register

got mine straight off microsoft's servers, so all clean here.

I'd have to say go direct to MS. They have no limit on keys and download speed is ok. So no need to go anywhere else.

nice. saves me having to go to either start menu or file menu for a new firefox window, thanks

now if only creative would get a better x-fi driver out. my sound keeps hanging, and i have to restart the audio service. really getting annoying.

Get the firefox beta (3.54), You can drag tabs off the tab bar to make them into new windows, or drag windows back onto the tab bar to make fewer windows.

Been having a shitload of hangups with Firefox 3.5x betas so have gone back to plain old 3. Looked related to one or more of the plugins but too lazy to sit and diagnose :|
