Hi All, This is a late catch, but FileApp Pro, which lets you download and manage documents and files on your iPhone or other iOS device, is free today. It normally lists for $4.99. I've mostly been using Filer, which supports more media file types through playback within the app, but FIleAp

Hi Dónal, If the end that connects to the Mac popped off as another result of the way the charger died, it should still be covered under Apple Care. That said, I don't think any non-Apple chargers work reliably with the MacBook Pros. I haven't had any problems with the older Mag safe chargers

Hi Phil Sorry to sound like a broken old record here, but the usual recommendation applies. Make, and retain, a current full backup of your system. Use something like Super Duper! or Carbon Copy Cloner to accomplish this. That way, you'd know whether the update breaks anything and, if it does
