I've never had that message when using my iPhone, however at school I don't use it with iTunes. Instead I use PhoneTrans which is much slicker than iTunes and doesn't require any sort of sync. PhoneTrans - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com You do need iTunes installed on the PC, but just set it up so it doesn't automatically launch when an iDevice is connected, or cancel it when it does.

Nice to put some faces to names-if only we knew their names (apart from Al and Col who we all know all too well - or is that just me?!)

You could look at a VeryPC laptop. They do a 13.3" Ultrabook designed for eduction. Its not on their website at the moment - I think they're waiting on an updated version. Get in touch with @VeryPC_Colin_M for pricing. They'll send you a demo model - I'm eagerly awaiting mine as we too are looking to replace our older, Windows XP laptops.

Depends what ports you need. If VGA is enough then I know where you can get the older Tosh Dynadock for £45 Dynadock - Universal USB Docking Station with Video (VGA) - Toshiba

I've found that branded docking stations for specific models tend to be very expensive for what you get. There are plenty of USB port replicators that do just as good a job for a lot less money!

What sort of spec are you looking for? I can recommend the VeryPC thinbook. Mine has Core i5, 4GB RAM and a 120GB SSD and it flies along happily with the usual office, internet, movies, video editing. It powers up super fast too. The only negative is Windows 8.1:mad:, but that's not the laptop's fault!

Ebuyer are selling off their stock at £203.32+VAT. Seems like a good price. Is it worth getting one?

I got my first Quadcopter in December - a Hubsan X4. Its great fun flying indoors but I got over confident and smashed it into the TV after which it dropped to the floor and broke one of the arms. New body and spare rotors are on the way though. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about trying out a quadcopter gets an X4. Its so much fun and a great way to get used to the delicate control skills required.

Today for me - no staff in though so its oh so quiet! Staff back Monday, pupils back Tuesday. Won't be quiet then...

I'm installing new switches and fibre modules - no teaching staff, just cleaners and site manager so very quiet. Ahh, the peace! Teachers back on Monday, kids back on Tuesday.

Happy New Year!

Is it a very BIG VeryPC mug, as in the clue was sMUGosity?

Its not green enough...http://news.xbox.com/~/media/images/media%20assets/press%20kits/xbox%20one%20launch%20press%20kit/photography/new%20york%20launch%20events/xbox_bestbuytheater_1.jpg?h=625&w=940

Anything with a plug on it, as they say... Mind you, yesterday I was dissasembling a large corner desk so it would fit through a narrow door. Tomorrow I will be back to more IT related work installing the new smart switches I got from @VeryPC_Colin_M I say tomorrow, I'm not sure I can wait 'til then...

Your job sounds quite similar to mine (although I've managed to dodge the Santa duties as the Head teacher's husband has been roped in to that) and I too love my job! If anyone is remotely interested, I've uploaded a video of one of our Christmas plays (our hall isnt big enough to fit everyone in so we have three plays - last one tomorrow!) to our website Robins Christmas Sing-Along

Anyone noticed @Gonk seems awfully quiet this Madvent?
