Do any listers use Thunderbird? I like it except for one annoying feature which I have not been able to fix. It has an Inbox scoll bar across the top which replaces the regular inbox/mail in tab. Most annoying when I have to scroll back through all the emails in to get to inbox. Has anyone

Hi Kevin I use Thunderbird (24.3.0) and I can't understand what your issue is. I don't have a scroll bar across the top. Check out the View Menu and Layout Options. Also possibly Toolbars. I use the Classic layout. Tabs across the top, Folders down the left; Mailbox at top right and message

Ok, another tip, connect your iPad with lead to iTunes then go in to the Summary tab and select Backup this iPad over wifi. Then it will happen automatically and always be current. You must set this config in place with it physically connected to the iMac. Good luck! Regards Pete On 27

Hi Pat, In Mavericks, any display can be the active display. You can tell which one is active by looking at the Menu Bar at the top. The active display will be crisp and white while the non-active display will have a Menu Bar that is dimmed and translucent. Not sure if this is what you want.

Hi Ronni, First Question: Yes. Once it was added to my network, I took it to the DVD Recorder in another room and it worked fine. I set it up at my mother’s in Client Mode. But then when I plugged it into her DVD Recorder in another room I just got the flashing orange light. I just had a

Thanks for the tip, Pete, that is a good one to use. I have not worried greatly with iPad backing up as anything important I send to the iMac for central filing and backup and purchased apps can all be recovered and all emails come in via the iMac (including Mum’s). By now I guess you are o

Hi Stephen, Do the same as you did on your DVD Recorder. I then followed the instructions to set up Internet Access on my own DVD Recorder as a test (as Brian suggested). That worked fine and I was able to watch iView etc on my DVD Recorder. On 27 Mar 2014, at 4:15 pm, Stephen Chape

OK. It's all under the View menu. Yours certainly looks strange I recreated your symptoms, then I had to spend a while getting back to normal! In the View/Layout sub-menu, you need to have Folder Pane and Message Pane ticked. These items appear only to be active when you are in the

One website I have always followed is MacFixit, a site founded by Mac troubleshooting stalwart Ted Landau. Many years ago his site was taken over by CNet under stewardship of Topher Kessler, and while it lost a lot of its original flavour, was still essentially a troubleshooting site for Mac
