I find groups to be rather confusing - not the concept but the practical setup - but I admit I haven't yet concentrated on this a lot. As for duplications, I've had this problem almost from the beginning of having an iOS device along with my Mac. At one point I was able to straighten it out but

Hi, nope. turning your computer on/off doesn’t damage any hardware. That being said, I leave my Mac on all the time as well. I’ll restart maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks for any number of reasons. From updates, to general maintenance. Bottom line though, you don’t really gain or lose anything ei

Like Sean, I rarely shut down anything. If I have to restart during an update or if I notice something not running right or for a few other reasons, I shut down or restart. I've been doing this for years on various computers with no consequences that I notice except, as I mentioned, that if anyt

Shutting down a mac or any computer is important to refresh the memory. If the memory isn’t refreshed often enough, the machine will eventually slow down over time. > On Jan 3, 2015, at 8:42 PM, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: > > I've said it before and I'll say it again. I never shut down my MacBook >
