Hi Phil, Can you describe what you're using for your Wi-Fi network? What model server, and protocol? (8.0211N or G, WPA or WEP encryptions, etc.)? I don't have an iMac, and probably someone else will be able to answer this, but that's the kind of information that will help to troubleshoot.

I know you didn't... what I meant was this: Through the recovery tool, you can access disc utility. You can also access it, though, in the utilities folder. When you menntioned the recovery tool, I thought you meant using disc utility in that. Maybe you didn't, :) On 8/2/12, Gordon Smith wrote:

Hi Geoff, Did you format the SD card as GUID? I think that's necessary, although I haven't gone through these steps. There's also a way to create a bootable image that used Carbon Copy Cloner that I can dig out, HTH. Cheers, Esther On Aug 2, 2012, at 11:02 AM, Geoff Waaler wrote: > Greet

Hi Mary First suggestion would be to help you with typing. In the "Rotor", you need to change the typing mode to "Touch Type". That would do away withy the need to "double-tap" to enter a letter. As soon as your finger is on the letter you want, just lift your finger off the screen slightly
