Thanks Graham - I've just left it unused for the time being, but will try these strategies soon. It does seem strange that it still misbehaves after a new installation! PT On 9 Apr 2014, at 03:02, Graham Perrin wrote: > On Saturday, 29 March 2014 14:20:55 UTC, Phil Tomlinson wrote: > > ...

Re: [sussex_mug] Re: Open Office freeze

Thanks Graham, Part of the problem is that this message:- "Do you want to try to reopen its window..." itself freezes. Clicking on "Don't Reopen" or "Reopen" doesn't work. I've had a quick look at Console, but can't find any information there that seems to refer to Open Office. (Don't really und

Hi Ranulph I have had several years of problems with Time Machine and Time Capsule. At present, thank goodness, it's been working brilliantly for months. I back up to a WD "MyBook" via ethernet connection and powerline adaptor. Last time I had a crisis, Sam helped me out by going through a length

Re: [sussex_mug] screenshots

I use the application called Grab. I simply have the alias icon in my menu bar, click on it and usually choose the "capture" command which allows you to choose the area of screen you want to take a screen shot of. Then click "save" and it becomes a tiff file. From there it's easy to handle and m

Have been having a clear out of my study. What do people do with all those old CDs of OSX, ancient Adobe disks and other software? The general rubbish bin? Can anyone benefit from them? Recycling? Total destruction by breaking or burning? -- You received this message because you are subscribed

[sussex_mug] Problems with Time Machine & WD My Book

I've recently bought a WD "My Book Live" to both store movies and to serve as the Time Machine backup. I've always had trouble with Time Machine (even when I used a first generation Time Capsule). Now the My Book has completely stopped backing up. It seems to think that I have an app called "Tim

Well, I installed iOS7 on my iPad2. It all went very smoothly and quite quickly. I think I like the new interfaces and design. Intellectually, I kind of support the Ives' approach of iconoclasm. Looking at it now it seems very sugary and bright. Must find a good wallpaper to experience it to bes

Dear All I have a second generation iPad (version 6.1.3 (10B329) if this helps to identify it) I had expected that I would be notified through the App Store that the update to iOS7 would be needed. I have had lots of updates for Apps to make them compatible with iOS7, but no information about th
