Yes Hugh, deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder is well worth doing. It will also free up space on your Hard Drive. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 08/08/2013, at 5:05 PM, hugh griffiths wrote: > Hi Ronni, its a A1430, which is a 3rd Generation, so i guess its not the > retina display

Hi Muggers Things just keep happening for no apparent reason and I just cant work it out! My MBP has been heating up quite fast of late, the past week I would say. It has coincided with me doing work with Lr4 and Preview: I have been sorting through loads of travel images. However at the same

Hi Chris, Yes, any application using 100% CPU will heat up you computer! Running at 100% Sheezs... Not good! As well as overheating your computer, heavy CPU (the computer's brains) use will slow your computer down. Quit Firefox and any other application that is using a lot of CPU. Quit Appli

Hey Ronni Thanks heaps for your description on the Activity monitor; it does look quite complicated and I havnt really taken time to understand everything in the displays. The number in the 'Page Outs' is 34mb, and has remained so for the past hour while I have been doing various things. (I ca

The problem is almost certainly related to Firefox running Flash. Flash is bad on may fronts, not the least is its excessive CPU usage. Closing Firefox will fix it, if you can't close it try too minimise the number of tabbed windows you have open in Firefox at one time. robin On 09/08/2013, a

Thanks Robin I guess other browsers will also use Flash in their addons? Is it necessary to run video or other animations etc on web sites? Is there an alternative that is not so resource hungry? I have closed a number of Firefox windows and reduced tabs in the remaining couple so will see how

I like Firefox because of various extensions I use with it ­ particularly Adblock and Flashblock which cuts out a lot of the visual advertorial pollution on many sites. With Flashblock you just get an icon everywhere there would be flash content and if you actually want to see the flash content (s

Hi Neil, I have Adblock on Safari, and believe Flashblock is available. Used it for a while and had issues, so I disabled it. So, have a quick look for them and then maybe you can use Safari more often and not rely on Firefox. I do use Firefox for some recalcitrant sites, as required. Brian

Hi Chris, Flash is on the way out and you probably know about Apple's aversion to Adobe's Flash Player Plugin. Steve Jobs went on record to say that it is a dying technology and Apple actively prevents Flash in any form from appearing on any iOS-based devices. HTML5 is the new technology. In M
