Setting a password

Hi All I have a 27" iMac, OS 10.7.5 . I have never setup a password on this computer so anyone can access it (simply by leaving the password box empty). I am about to go O/S (don't want anyone using it while I'm away) & would like to know is it as simple as just typing in a password in this box?

Apple TV, iPad & iView

Good morning all I have always sent iView programmes to Apple TV from my iPad (3) and, until very recently, have had no problems. Now, for whatever reason, after several false starts the process usually works but last evening it was hopeless. The programme would start, go for a short while, the

Re: Another Device on the Network

Hi Ronni, I followed your instructions via the Systems Preferences. I had thought it could be some external source attempting to log on to me and then thought - Virus !! Once again Ronni, you've solved my problem. A great many thanks for solving my dilemma. Cheers Jewels On 26/05/2014, at
