  1. Guys, if I see a small harmless house spider run across my floor you have to scrape me off the ceiling.

     

    The stuff you lot live with on a day to day basis is mind boggling. I was following a series of videos some time back about a guy down your way who has a Dyson as his favourite spider catcher.

     

    This video is hilarious at the end and the Huntsman looked like it had great fun in the Dyson merry-go-round.

    How you can live with these things coming into your house, especially kiddies rooms as in that video, is beyond me. I would seriously never be able to sleep.

     

    The last spider I saw was in my kitchen, sitting on an Apple.  :)

    A few year's ago I was chatting on team speak with an American friend and he was checking out some site about Australian spiders...

    Telling me :rolleyes: witch ones were dangerous and not dangerous...

    He see's a pic of a Huntsman and say's wow that thing looks like a Tarantula but it say's that Huntsman's are harmless...

    I said that's not right ! break down the name ! "Hunts - Man" :lol:

     

    They DO bite ! but there not venomous... they luv apples!    

  2. Thanks razz

    One issue for me to do with Dropbox! :angry:

    Well I can't remember the last time I used it so I guess I should close my account? :blink:

     

    Dropbox: In mid-2012, Dropbox suffered a data breach which exposed the stored credentials of tens of millions of their customers. In August 2016, they forced password resets for customers they believed may be at risk. A large volume of data totalling over 68 million records was subsequently traded online and included email addresses and salted hashes of passwords (half of them SHA1, half of them bcrypt).

    Compromised data: Email addresses, Passwords

  3. Who on earth uses these things? In fact why on earth would anyone use them, even in an industrial environment?

     

    Or do you guys with corks in your hats like to live dangerously?   :lol:

     

    (Couldn't resist that Craig, and I'm sure mta will be firing a salvo back.)

    Well mostly people with an RC addiction  B)

    They need what ever it is> race truck, drift car, plane... to perform for longer (just go fast!) 

    Plenty of videos on youtube

    RC addicts don't just live here in OZ! It's world wide! Just like the use of Apple products "Oh yea, this topic is about Apple" :lol:

    Yeah I'm an RC addict  :ph34r:

  4. You see plenty of Lithium Polymer batteries used in phones, tablets, and in hobby grade RC's there commonly called "LiPo packs" and can be a soft case or hard case.

    ​The RC hobby grade packs are usually multiple cell packs unlike the single cell 3.7v packs in phones, tablets etc.

    Multiple cell LiPo packs need special care! they must be balance charged after every 4 to 5 cycles> ( charge - discharge ) otherwise the cells become unbalanced! causing extreme heat build up and cell expansion while charging and then fire!

    Physical damage to these batteries can cause an internal short and also fire!      

  5. Hi all :)

    So this is how I connect to the Internet with my desk top PC at the moment.

    I'm guessing these WIFI USB dongles are all pretty much the same so my question is...

    Should I remove this adapter from the USB port after disconnecting from my WIFI network ? 

    If I don't physically remove it from my PC via Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" it keeps on searching for a WIFI network.

    Or is it normal to just leave it plugged in all the time even during shut down and start ups of my PC ?       

     

  6. Thanks Andavari :)  However I got it working again before seeing your post.

     

    It seems most (even Apple techs) recommend uninstalling itunes and reinstalling the latest version.

    However just uninstalling itunes doesn't work.

    Itunes installs with some other program's that need to be uninstalled as well! see list below.

    In theory these 4 program's listed below should update with an itunes update! well I'm guessing thats what used to happen.   

     

    1/ Apple Application Support

    2/ Apple Mobile Device Support

    3/ Apple Software Update

    4/ Bonjour

     

    The 4 program's above are all part of itunes and will all reinstall with the latest version of itunes again :D

     

    Bottom line! This is a very common problem with ipod & itunes and this is the safest and easiest way to fix! 

  7. My trusty ipod has spat the dummy with itunes!

    ipod has ios 6.1.6 the last soft ware version for this ipod.

    itunes version 12.1.3

    Basically they won't sync any more.

    itunes starts to sync and then displays a message saying syncing failed to start... 

    Have searched for days looking on the web for an answer and tried all suggested fix's workarounds etc.  

    Any ideas, help, experience with this problem ?

    Thanks in advance :)  

  8. Yes it installed with my avast program update so I thought what the heck I'll give it a go.

    It does block a lot of ads and it's quick, simple and straight ford to use on my old vista machine.

    As for privacy... well I told it to use google search and well... I got nothin to hide  B)

  9. Sounds like a similar problem I was having trying to access my ISP's site.

    I found that the shortcut for my ISP's site was out of "date" and trying to direct my browser to there old home page.

    My ISP had changed there home page & login layout and I kept getting this message.

     

    The requested web page can’t be found

     

    The page may not exist or the page may be temporarily unavailable.

  10. Welcome grits B)

    The time on these forums has allways been wrong for me... I just put it down to the fact that I'm in Australia and my time is 9 hour's ahead of UK time so there's bound to be some sort of hiccup :lol:

  11. I would have suggested going back to version 6, but 7 won't let you install 6. It would be a case of completely removing version 7 and then installing 6.

     

    I'm at 6's and 7's here trying to explain this. :lol:

     

    You know what I mean.

    OK I'm done with pointing the finger at avast! I think windoz vista and it's UAC & DEP... blablabla is the causing me and others problems!

    Now if I "check" the box > "Run As UAC Administrator" in the "Run Sanboxed" window and then click "OK" I'm asked by Sandboxie & windoz UAC if I want to continue...

    Now if I click cancel and then try to start FF sandboxed as per normal... all is good :)

    I only need to do this once a day, or only after booting up my PC, or restarting my PC, after the first annoying windoz rubish to do with UAC & DEP... and then going through the procedure above' windoz dosn't give me any more grief!

    Disabling avast Script Shield dosn't seem to make a difference any more.

    Sorry bout mi spielling :) blame FF for no spell check working:)
