It used Mac notebooks (so it might have been someone from Apple). What I remember is that because the community and students valued the laptops so much none went missing and hardly any were damaged. If the person who told me about that school could get in contact, I would love to hear the detail again.

Recovery costs can be steep - you can try yourself with the correct recovery software but a) It will cost some money for the software (but cheaper than the recovery centres - you'll soon see why they charge good money - it's all in the time). b) It will require a DIFFERENT external hard drive - much bigger than the original to save the recovered files to (say twice the size - amazing what gets "recovered" - but several "sub-versions" of the same files but the Mini-Saves double (triple?) the recovery size. c) Take a bit of time as I've never had the "quick recovery" methods work for me. Budget 1 to 3 days.

Make sure you have it set to manually sync and not automatic then you can select the playlists you want for each ipod. If you are moving from comp to comp on the same network yes make a new user just for the ipod. Be aware that each new user will have their own music library etc and so you may duplicate the same songs etc and take up more space rather than one user but with manual settings on the ipods and everyone makes their own playlists.

Here's one that I had today finally "finish successfully". BAD SUPPORT - TELSTRA / BIGPOND (gee, how unusual for me!) Spent about a day helping a school (BigPond) who said their connection "kept dropping out after 3 minutes - any phone line and any computer in the community" (still use dialup folks I am working on them to get at least satellite). BigPond said (in stern voice of the rude 17 year old "Help" desk employee) "BE QUIET AND LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING (great customer satisfaction training there - they must be proud of this employee of the month) - IT MUST BE YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT as Macintosh's do this sort of thing". (Q says - "Yeah, sure!") Outcome: After 2 weeks of Telstra/Bigpond denials the head teacher rings BigPond an reads the riot act (aided with my tech notes to back it up). For a change they could say, "NO! You shut up and listen" Local Kimberley Telstra get involved instead of "some call centre - somewhere in the world". Telstra said, "Oh dear, Telstra equipment in the Geraldton exchange - about 800 km away - is faulty". So much for their claim "ALL YOUR computer equipment is faulty".

Two weeks ago our Foxtel cable TV iQ said that the card was invalid. I rang Foxtel and talked to accounts ? the only section answering. They stated our account was overdue. Rang Telstra who collect our money who said rubbish and passed me back. I then played the phone calls of death. No matter which menu selections I made in their system I got cut off. Finally got someone by lying and saying I wanted to upgrade my package. Strangely I got someone immediately. He said ?Let me guess you lied to get someone to complain to about your card not working?? It seemed that a software upgrade had managed to corrupt almost all the iQ boxes in eastern Australia. Seems that according to this gentleman Tech support got sick of answering their phones so turned off their phone system. After 10 hours we back up and running. Fast forward two weeks. Same scenario but this time they blamed Telstra (Understandable), a possum (yes really) and Energex (our local power supply authority). It ended with the second successful person to person contact that day with their supervisor yelling ? loud enough for my wife seated on the other couch to hear, that I couldn?t blame Foxtel as they had nothing to do with the lack of their pay TV signal after it left their studio and then threatening to report me for being abusive during both episodes. I pointed out that its hard to be abusive when no-one answers the phone and if they adopted the same system as the local power company the fault would be stated on the phone system and an expected timeline for repair. This person stated that that was too hard as Foxtel is not responsible for the signal.... (notice a pattern) I a little sarcastically said I was not responsible for the arrival of the cheque after it left my hand. He then said that would lead to them cutting our service to which my exasperated response was ?who?d notice??. He then hung up on me. Our free to air antennae has been repaired and I have told Foxtel their iQ box is on the footapth ready for them to collect... Sorry to clutter the list with this but it is an object lesson in how bad tech support can get.... And how it feels to be an end user when you are the tech support at times...

This follow-up edition complements the first two ?Emerging technologies for learning? publications from 2006 and 2007. The 'Emerging technologies for learning' series aims to help readers consider how emerging technologies may impact on education and learners in the medium term. The publications are not intended to be a comprehensive review of educational technologies, but offer some highlights across the broad spectrum of developments and trends. It should open readers up to some of the possibilities that are developing and the potential for technology to transform our ways of working, learning and interacting over the next three to five years. Copies can be downloaded from http://www.becta.org.uk/research/reports/emergingtechnologies This latest publication includes the following articles: Growing up with Google - what it means to education (Diane Oblinger, EDUCAUSE) Mobile, wireless, connected - information clouds and learning (Mark van?t Hooft, Kent State University) Location-based and context-aware education - prospects and perils (Adam Greenfield, NYU) Emerging trends in serious games and virtual words (Sara de Freitas, SGI) ?If it quacks like a duck?? - developments in search technologies (Emma Tonkin, UKOLN) Interactive displays and next generation interfaces (Michael Haller, Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences) Growing up with Google: what it means to education Diana Oblinger explores the ?net generation? who can seamlessly move between their real and digital lives. Their behaviours, preferences and expectations may be very different from those of their teachers. Diana examines the characteristics of these learners, the possibilities offered by new technologies and the skills that an education system needs to provide for the 21st century. She also argues that we need to adapt to this rapidly evolving context and goes on to explore the implications for learning space design, assessment and learning and teaching. Mobile, wireless, connected: information clouds and learning Mark van?t Hooft looks at the implications for education of the convergence of mobile devices, pervasive wireless connectivity, and internet applications and services. These are redefining the way we live, play, work and learn, creating new opportunities for rich, personalised experiences. Mark describes some examples of how these technologies are being used to transform learning and discusses the barriers and issues to their effective use. He warns that formal education risks becoming less relevant if we don?t take advantage of the new opportunities for learning enabled by these developments. Location-based and context-aware education: prospects and perils Location- and context-aware systems are expected to become increasingly pervasive in the near future, and here Adam Greenfield discusses some of the potential issues and pitfalls around implementation and reliance on such technologies. Adam then goes on to explore the potential of these technologies which could mean ?nothing less than a reappraisal of what we mean when we say 'education'.? Emerging trends in serious games and virtual worlds Sara de Freitas looks at the development of virtual worlds and ?serious games? and how we can make best use of these technologies to support better learning. They may help tackle ?the gulf between learners? experiences with technology inside and outside formal education?. She also examines the links to internet trends, web 2.0 and collaborative learning. Through discussion of the existing research and examples of the educational use of virtual worlds and serious games, Sara explores the potential of these technologies and the implications for education more widely. ?If it quacks like a duck?? - developments in search technologies Emma Tonkin examines the problem of finding and searching digital content on the web and the limitations of current systems. She explores some of the technology developments that are beginning to address these issues, such as the semantic web, data mining, multimedia search and context-aware systems. Despite advances that offer great potential for learning through faster and more flexible access to the right information, there remains a clear role for educators and a need for better information literacy. Interactive displays and next-generation interfaces Michael Haller explores the potential of some emerging display and interface technologies to improve interaction with computers and facilitate collaborative activities in more natural and intuitive ways. He takes an in-depth look at interactive touch displays, drawing on both his own research and wider developments in the field. Michael also discusses the qualities of these technologies that make them appealing, and the potential benefits for the classroom.

Assuming you've tried resetting all switches and restarting the culprit laptop between points. Given ethernet I'd try: check the tcp/ip and proxy settings on one of the computers that will connect, shut it down then configure your laptop to the same ip and try. Also check the pins are straight in nthe physical ports. Hope it helps Cheers Dave You could also try deleting the mcx cache. --- Chris Skrzeczynski wrote: > Hi Dave > > Thanks for the info.

Is a blogger account that's been set as private a good idea? Is an unlisted and unsearchable blog good enough? Where does the responsibility fall for school / home? Any ideas, suggestions?

Your MacBook takes line-level input. With the correct cable, you can plug the reciever straight into your MacBook, then using System Prefs > Sound > Input you can use that source as audio input.

The server is not ready for prime time with it's current bugs, but on an old Mac in the corner as a Wiki/Blog server it's awesome. SO, SO SO much better than v10.4 Also, if you do it "in-house" it's safe, and your system can't block it like they seem to do with most Web2.0 sites. We have just started using it at Arthur Phillip High, and I am blown away by how quickly people understand how to use it, factor of 10 faster than iWeb.

Message-ID: <668B57DB-731C-465E-8CF0-AD3AF6985560@switch.com.au> I've just taken up football umpiring (that is, real football!), and am wondering if there are ways to make life easier for the umpiring coaches doing the selections for field, boundary & goal umpires? What is in my head is to have a pop-up menu that is dynamic. By that I mean that when a person is selected for say field umpiring, that person ceases to be available for boundary or goal umpiring in the same game. Getting to the next game, all umpires would be available again. Some people do all forms of umpiring, some two, and others just one. If someone could knock up and example file to send to me, that would be great. I have the developer versions of FMP 5.5, 8 & 9, so any version would be fine. I was hoping to develop a resource that would also automatically email a PDF of the resultant file for a given round. Thanks again.

If it is 10.4 it could be related to a problem I believe was talked about here on the list. It related to 10.4.9 or 10 where the Dock shortcuts would malfunction. Apart from that quite unsure, unless the Dock settings are provided via Workgroup Manager and shortcut to an un-known program.

Apple have "broken" this with the release of Leopard. You use to run the application then in "Single User Mode" it would remove these files and folders. Basically like cleaning it up before the imaging. I don't drag documents to the trash after i have installed all apps on the system.
