[sussex_mug] Monitor for Mac Mini

2020-11-12 Thread Philippe Chandless
Good morning Smuggers, I’m thinking about replacing my ageing MacBook Pro with the new Mac Mini. I’ll to have to get a monitor but I have no idea of what to get. I know there's the LG 23” 5K in the Mac store but it seems very expensive compared to other 27” displays. Can anyone recommend one?

Depends on what you are doing - colour accuracy, resolution, etc. I’m not a graphic designer, book/magazine editor, photographer or video editor so any 4K display would work for me. I’ve ordered a new Mac mini and will use a 43 inch 4K TV that I would otherwise be recycling - at my age bigger

Personally I use a FireTV Stick as it’s cheaper, with the ability to load the CinemaHD app on it, which can scan the internet and aggregate streaming sources for a huge number of TV shows & movies not found on traditional services. It’s not 100% reliable all the time but it’s a great app for fin

Probably I’d get a Fire TV Stick. You can download the Apple TV app to it. However I find that image quality is better with the Apple TV box - significantly so if you have a TV that supports Dolby Vision. If you have a set-top box it may already give you everything you need? Regards, Tony Sen

I’ve lost a chapter of book I’m working on. I must have pressed something. How do I retrieve it? I have an Elements external disk. It also should be saved to Dropbox. Simple instructions would be much appreciated. >From my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Hello Virginia, If it’s an application and a file system that supports it (your Mac storage will, but some don’t) then you can get it back from a previous version. This is supported by all Apple’s own applications and many 3rd party applications too. There’s a video here that demonstrates it:

Hi Virginia Are you creating your book in Adobe Elements – or is that the name of an external disk, or something ? Cheers, Derek > On 12 Nov 2020, at 12:14, Virginia Routh wrote: > > Thanks, Stephen. I’ll look at YouTube video. BTW I love your quotes. > > > From my iPhone > >> On 12 Nov 20

I’m sure this is a long shot but are you using Time Machine? If so you should be able to rollback to an earlier version of the Scrivener file. If not using Time Machine maybe a reason for considering it? Regards, Tony Sent from my iPhone Email: tcro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 7428 706227 > On 12 N

I think from all the reports of M1 macs beating current intel-based Macs in most processor based scores, it’s safe to say the new M1 Mac mini will be many times quicker than a 2012 iMac even with its dedicated graphics card. _ Regards Sam Mullen +44 (0)7747778022 i...@macambulance.com www.macam
