After 3 weeks my daily gnet email was delivered again this morning. Quite what that was about I know not.

The problem with not updating is that you then can't access certain things. I'm unable to play Words with Friends now as it needs a newer version of IOS and can't download some apps I would like for the same reason.

Welcome back!! flowers

Thanks, SueD, if it happens again I'll try that, though reluctant to mess with anything when it's working fine (touch wood!)

I suspect that my iPad is also too old to update now, but I never liked updates - always (to me needlessly) altering something that was fine before.

I once asked a dd's partner (an IT whizz) , whether/how I could reverse something an update had done. He said probably not, and for this very reason he never allowed updates on his own iPad!

Have you tried clearing out the cache of cookies on your iPad? That sometimes works. If your not sure how to do that, go to Settings then Safari. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Clear History & Website Data.

Having said which, my vintage IPad had a massive tantrum this week and I had to get it sorted out at the Apple shop. It seems to be working much better now although I now can't download certain things because it's so old that it won't update anymore.

I get the privacy message every few days/weeks
Just had to sign it to come in now it’s annoying isn’t it ?

Thank goodness it's not just me or my new machine gillybob. It is annoying and makes me feel stupid.

I no longer get the daily GN email, they stopped nearly 2 weeks ago. I have contacted admin and await a response.
I too was abroad last week but that shouldn’t make a difference, should it?

Every now and again I get the " flash card " relating to privacy,etc which I keep having to press the accept or it keeps flashing at me-----what a pain ! HQ must be sick of seeing my " acceptance " all the time for no reason.

Whatever the reason welcome back Witzend!

...out of both GN and MN for some reason I can't fathom. In both cases the box where you have to 'accept' privacy conditions didn't work.

I was in France at first and wondered whether this had something to do with it, but evidently not - it was the same when I came home.

No settings on my iPad had been changed, so I'm at a loss as to why - and why I'm suddenly 'accepted' again.

Any ideas, oh wise ones?
My iPad is getting on a bit now so I do wonder whether it's getting a touch of dementia in its old age - DH thinks it's time for an upgrade, but it's been working well otherwise.
