Thanks for the headsup Just done that and nothing's happened Think I've done that before as well.

I know it's possible as I managed to get some data across from outlook 2010 on to my ipod classic but now i've somehow deleted all of that AND cant sync them with each other. Wasted hours trawling/googling for solutions without getting this sorted. I'm using W7, itunes 10.5.2.11 - latest version anyway as I've installed and uninstalled it now several times. Ipod Classic 120Gb TIA

you can reckon on about an hour transcription for every 5minutes of dictation and a decent audio-transcription setup. You'll need a USB foot pedal and the ability to import voice data into suitable transcription software. Typing speed does help, but even fast - I'm 120wpm - isnt fast enough when most people usually speak at about 200wpm.

Hope your landlord's user/pass are very secure. Personally I'd get my own setup after having just had my router hacked to steal my bandwidth and you dont want all the hassle I've been through as a result including reporting to police who will only act if the perpetrator's have acted fraudulently, eg removed money from my bank accounts. Addendum, I now also only use an ethernet cable rather than wireless. Bit inconvenient, BUT sooo much safer and far more secure.

Wont save and error message says there are too many errors so it cant save the hours of my work :help: Tried copying my work over to a new book - unsurprisingly I've copied the errors over as well. Cant close down and need to get this sorted. Any ideas on how to find out, trace and remove all of these errors so that I can save my work and forward file to colleagues. Very grateful for any help going.

Is there a cheaper viable option to the Apple Classic which I'm interested in buying because of its 160gb hard drive and multi-uses including music, jpeg ad data files eg word, excel etc.

Am very interested in the Apple Classic with 160GB drive because i can also use it to store word, excel pdf and other doc files as well as music etc. I'd like to know whether there's anything else out there to compare with storage capacity, performance but at a lower price. Thanks

Thanks for the advice, think it's now sorted

all i get is this red error message saying that my voice is really quiet

cant get voice recording with my microphone which is properly plugged in to the colour-coded line-in/out straight in to a headset. need it set up for an urgent call with some mates tomorrow afternoon. Cant make sense of the skype instructions so what am I doing wrong? I c ant hear my own voice with the skype testing service which suggests that it needs to be configured properly in which case as I've followed their instructions what do I have to do? Thanks

The message I'm getting on the authentication required is as follows: "The server 192.168.01:80 requires a username and password. The server says Netgear DGN1000." and it just wont accept admin or password.

I've got this far with your instructions but although I've pressed the reset button countless times, I am simply unable to use the username and password of admin and password respectively. Cant believe I'm doing owt wrong as I've done it that many times I can almost do it with my eyes closed.

I've been advised it's great for linux-based systems but most unfortunately for us, it's incompatible with windows' servers/system. Is there anything out there that's at all suitable for Windows? Suggestions very gratefully received.

I agree about the excellent time and advice - staggering and overwhelmed by everyone's help to crack this nut on the head. You've made some reasonably sound assumptions which were instrumental in not taking no. Heard on R4 recently that passwords < 15 random characters (or is it 25?) are likely to get busted so I've been more careful, but obviously not quite careful enough!! Definitely good to know I can just switch wireless on/off and far quicker than mains. Does your final sentence beginning "Lastly, when you ... etc" also mean to manually enter SSID for windows access point each and every time I want to use wireless? Is it better to keep it connected via ethernet than wireless? Wish router was only 3 ft away; 5-6metre ethernet cable from my router to desktop may just do the job - I'll get one on ebay which is far cheaper than the shops. My experiences this evening indicate it's safe to assume lowlife was still haunting my router but seems to have left me in peace for a little while BH". Saved "randomly" generated numbers to a word file with all these wonderful instructions as it's easier to copy/ paste and print out while I'm working my way through this lot of instructions. ISP generated souped up bunkum to which I responded with a polite rejoinder and gentle but firm reminder of my right to peaceful enjoyment for the service for which I had paid and hopefully gave them more to think about than how to compile computer generated codswallop. Once again, thanks for the walk through of this procedure which looks fairly straightforward which I hope wont be famous last words.# Very gratefully.

Trust me I am.

Yeah, that's a very realistic option which I'm giving full consideration to in addition to disconnecting when not in use.

It's taken c. 8 months to figure out and has stumped a fair few techies in the process of going over this desktop with a fine toothcomb not helped by the fact that the router works fine with my laptop. My kit is OK so the indications are rather difficult to hide, ie no bandwidth with fairly regular monotony. And it's the second time Lowlife has had the damn cheek to change MY password to MY router. Something I can do and am doing: I've discovered the power of the off switch - pun fully intended - which I guarantee works a treat - even if not entirely satisfactory or convenient solution, it is an interim measure which gives me back my [personal] power (pun also intended).

When we changed everything last time we also changed the channel and changed the encryption for all the good that's done, so very thankfully my mobile phone isnt connected to my wireless network.

Any suggestions for tracking and tracing this git down - I've got a few words to say to them for all the aggro they've caused not to mention all the costs I've incurred :rant::rant:

VERY Interesting and this in particular 5. Disable SSID Broadcast In Wi-Fi networking, the wireless access point or router typically broadcasts the network name (SSID) over the air at regular intervals. This feature was designed for businesses and mobile hotspots where Wi-Fi clients may roam in and out of range. In the home, this roaming feature is unnecessary, and it increases the likelihood someone will try to log in to your home network. Fortunately, most Wi-Fi access points allow the SSID broadcast feature to be disabled by the network administrator. I've now changed my broadcast name several times now and they've picked up on it fairly quickly. The only thing they cant control is my router's on/off switch which is quite effective and brings that smile back on my face However, I'd like to permanently disable this SSID feature and would greatly appreciate advice on how to do so which would bring an even bigger grin on to my face. THIS ALSO LOOKS VERY INTERESTING - and so I'd like to know how to do this as well: 7. Assign Static IP Addresses to Devices Most home networkers gravitate toward using dynamic IP addresses. DHCP technology is indeed easy to set up. Unfortunately, this convenience also works to the advantage of network attackers, who can easily obtain valid IP addresses from your network's DHCP pool. Turn off DHCP on the router or access point, set a fixed IP address range instead, then configure each connected device to match. Use a private IP address range (like 10.0.0.x) to prevent computers from being directly reached from the Internet.

checked out my mac which are as follows (excludes the long strings of numbers before and after). xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx media disconnected; xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IDevice/TCPIP {xxxxxxxxxxxxxx} xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Media disconnected

yes very definitely after the first incident with this lowlife.

there's a load of stuff out there to crack passwords and it's not that difficult for people who know what they're doing

MY router rejects the password which had been set up for it.
