I have the remote App on my old fashioned, out of date, version 1
iPhone. If I decide to upgrade to the 3G version and use the old phone
as an iPod, would there be any reason to prevent both units from
controlling the same iTunes library ?

I recently upgraded to QT 7.5, via Software Update.
I also added Flip4Mac and Perian.
Now, compared to a few days ago, QT Player performance is abysmal. On
.MOVs I know well and which used to display beautifully (for example the

Whilst I'm really pleased that Apple have finally made a product which
seems to please so many people I can't help wondering if it might be

I queued up this morning outside an O2 store in Market Harborough - I
was there for 7.40 and there were around 9 people in front of me.

My brother has bought a Time Capsule so that all his family can back up using
Time Machine. But he's now concerned that anyone in the house can simply

Has anyone else in this ng had poor support from LaCie, and if so, are

Folks, could I make a suggestion ?  This group's name ends in '.mac', not

require but I can't seem to delete it in mobile.me
I've gone to the online Storage Settings in Accounts which lists the
group and allows you to alter it's size but not delete it. It's minimum

My advent 4211 turned up today. Small box. Quite small computer.
If you have seen these, they are clones of the MSI wind but cheaper
running windows with the new intel atom chips.
What makes this not OT is a) there is nothing about a phone, and b), it

Any way to do this? I can't see to find a module for MacFuse.
