Not sure I agree on the spares point - spares are not available through Apple, only through non affiliated 3rd parties with spares of often unknown quality and origin. You cannot buy new, sealed, labelled Apple spare parts.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of things I like about the MAC (My wife hates it!) but realistically I don't think you can state reliability and build quality when you compare like with like.

From what I have heard TV's or should I ay the way we watch media is going to be addressed by Apple as they believe a TV is so out of date now, interesting times indeed

People have been buying iPhones here and selling them in China on the black market for up to 3 times the value.... £2000 for an iPhone 6 anyone?

1982[edit]
A program called Elk Cloner, written for Apple II systems, was created by Richard Skrenta. The Apple II was seen as particularly vulnerable due to the storage of its operating system on floppy disk. Elk Cloner's design combined with public ignorance about what malware was and how to protect against it led to Elk Cloner being responsible for the first large-scale computer virus outbreak in history.[8]

1983[edit]
November: The term 'virus' is coined by Frederick Cohen in describing self-replicating computer programs. In 1984 Cohen uses the phrase "computer virus" – as suggested by his teacher Leonard Adleman – to describe the operation of such programs in terms of "infection". He defines a 'virus' as "a program that can 'infect' other programs by modifying them to include a possibly evolved copy of itself." Cohen demonstrates a virus-like program on a VAX11/750 system at Lehigh University. The program could install itself in, or infect, other system objects.[9][not in citation given]
A very early Trojan Horse designed for the IBM PC called ARF-ARF was downloaded from BBS sites and claimed to “Sort” the DOS Diskette Directory. This was a very desirable feature because DOS didn’t list the files in alphabetical order in 1983. Instead, the program deleted all of the files on the diskette, cleared the screen and typed ARF – ARF. ARF was a reference to the common “Abort, Retry Fail” message you would get when a PC could not boot from a diskette

and yes I know pc's get more that because there's more pc's out there than macs

Hi Riccarton,

this is not normal. We quite often have 3 ipad mini's (all over 9 month old) streaming from one NAS at the same time and can then still use wifi connection with macbooks without loosing connection.

It would sound to me like your dhcp server is out of addresses and the ipad just isn't given an ip address - hence it not picking up again.

Wiljo

Sorry wvlenthe, it appears your keyboard went into Wibble-Tech language by mistake

My dhcp doofer thingymybob what? Is that a bit like a triple A overhead manifold sprocket??

All I can say it that we are all connected fine with no issues until someone starts streaming and then the mini loses the wifi (not just internet). I then have to go into options and tell it reconnect to the router which it does even if the others are still streaming but then loses it again soon

I've come to the conclusion our I.T. doesn't like me and is ganging up on me
