You can use an OTG adaptor (make sure to get the right one for your device) and a mouse to control the screen, if that helps. Ideally though as others have said you should use your cloud based account to do the sync of contacts...

Depending on where your Mum lives you can also consider your local credit union, who also offer current accounts

Was the direct debit setup on your bank account, or have the provider been receiving payments from your credit card (not the same as direct debit)

You can't play songs you purchase on iTunes directly on a non-Apple device, but it's easy enough to get around. Since Apple removed their DRM restrictions, there is now the option in the Advanced menu to "Convert to MP3", but this option will only be available if MP3 is the default import...

True, Complainer, but running iTunes means you need a PC on somewhere to serve up the music. What PetPal is looking for is a Hard Disc music player, common enough in the Pro Audio business. A couple of standalone user versions (that don't require an additional PC) I have seen are [broken link...

I got one recently, as an upgrade on my Meteor account for €99. It does what is says, and I particularly like the wi-fi, music/video (DivX) player and touch screen. My only complaint would be the battery life; I can manage about a day->day-and-a-half at best using only minimal Bluetooth and...

Password safe and Keypass are similar programs (i.e. not online applications) in that they both store the information in an encrypted file, so even if someone gets the file they have to figure out how to decrypt it. Portable apps is another program that allows applications (such as Keypass...

Funnily enough I had a similar-type situation with An Post a few years ago: I had won some records in a competition in the UK and came home one evening to find the package had been delivered, through the letterbox -yes the postman had neatly folded the record in half in order to get it through...

To be fair, you could be right, I was only going on my experience of my Belkin and, as far as I can remember, Eircoms Netopia boxes. I havn't seen a router where it only applied to wireless

Both of these are a good approach, MAC address filtering applies to both wired and wireless connections

You could try connecting using the default share, assuming the drive leter of the external drive is fixed; map the drive on the Vista machine as \\xp_laptop_name\z$ (where z is the drive letter). I use this rather than manually sharing the drive. Note that this will share the entire drive

When I stayed in a B&B in the UK once, the ladnlady had left a window cleaner (not sure of teh exact name, the type with the rubber strip, you'd pick one the cheap plastic onesup for a couple of euro) and a note to ask that you clean the door when done. I got one myself and cleaning the door...

A friend of mine bought [broken link removed] (I've bought from them myself and can recommend them, no affiliation). The transmitter in question can be used with any MP3 player, connects via headphone socket and has its own power (AAA battery)

Hi Aca, I wouldn't think the speakers are blown. Have a look in the icons displayed beside the clock - theres usually one there for controlling the sound (alternatively you'll find it in the control panel). Note it's not the standard Windows one, it'll be the one supplied by the manufacturer of...

Just to be sure, you borrowed your friends laptop, took it to where your wireless modem is and tried to connect to the internet from there (using wireless), but failed? In that case, the fault may well be with the laptop and nothing to do with Irish BB. If you did manage to successfully...

Apparently not - from a quick search on the Philips website: Dual-layer discs (DL) arn't listed...

I use Xming myself, it's released under a GPL Licence

What MugsGame said, Lotus Notes is not for the uninitated and not really suitable as a database (it's better at groupware-type stuff); you'd be better off with something like MS Access as you have no real experience with DBs. Access provides some good wizards to setup most of the basic/standard...

The 54Mbs speed refers to the transmission between your wireless router and the USB dongle; the 1Mbps speed your broadband supplier quotes is the speed from the exchange to the socket on your wall; yes is the answer to your question. Go for the USB; they both do the same thing and the USB...

Got the box today, the model number is a Netopia 2247NWG-EIR and from the manual... On an interesting side note, another item included in the manual is a "Free Broadband Support Calling Card", which gives €10 credit for calling either of their broadband support numbers, the 1530 @ 33c/min or...
