Hi Peter, If your MacBook Pro won't wake when you open the lid, or you press any key, or mouse click. Have you Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)? Reset SMC on MacBook Pro (early 2009 and later ) Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include

Hi Rod Take your time before you decide as the base 15 with retina display is cheaper than the 15 2.6 and the hi-res screen would really help with the things you are doing. External HD's are very cheap and you could get a couple and rotate them as part of a back up scheme. But really I think

Hi Tom, Just a thought. I take it you are with iiNet now, hence the iiNet mailer daemon. You may have your wife's old address in an address book somewhere and inadvertently sent it an email. Which email account was the notification directed to? Have a look in the sent folder of that account

I have had an entirely different experience with my 17-inch Early 2009 MacBook Pro. A screwdriver has never breached its case. I bought it at the time with the best specs I could afford (which did not extend to the fastest processor available) and it has worked tirelessly for me from that time

Just to qualify the laptop/s that is, there were 4 different models over the years. Not one dud ;-) and yes they were all repaired, but if parts are glued or bonded then fixability could be an issue, batteries don't last forever and HDs do fail, though the SSD will remove that issue. Back to

Hi Bill, Bouncing spam is the worst thing you can do with it. Junk mailers use phoney email addresses, so bounced mail never goes back to the originator. However, the bounced mail often goes to an innocent victim. If you think spam is bad, wait until your address gets spoofed and you start

I never do that Bill. If a human has triggered the bounce they know it is a legitimate email address and you're likely to get more. My spam filters in Mail app filter off spam, many per day. After a month they get automatically deleted. Mail app just does it all automatically for me.
