Re: Anti virus software

Hi Marcus. Perhaps Intego protection is a “Placebo”. Or perhaps it works ! At the very least I feel more secure by using it. Consequently I worry less. In the same way that my home is very secure with good locks (using keys) and security grills. And a monitored alarm system. So far I have NOT b

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi Peter, Going from memory (some time & several OSes earlier) I set-up a time capsule at a rellie’s house with a main network and a guest network that visiting grandkids could use – they appeared as separate networks (rather than logging-in to the same network as user or guest) – I gave min

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi Ronni yes I only have the 5GHz network connection. TM backups are working correctly too with the reliable hourly backups concluding with correct recording of them. I’ll keep the Guest account in place as for the moment this is not a major issue for me. Not urgent thanks Ronni once again for y

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi Peter, No I wouldn’t delete anything until we can work out how you are now connected to your Wi-Fi Network as ‘Guest’ instead of your administrator name you have always connected with. Are you connected to the 5GHz on your dual-band Network, not the 2.5GHz? Have you made any changes to you

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi Ronni, thanks for your response. I really don’t recall setting up a Guest network - having had it for ~8 years I can’t recall. In all that time I have never used a Guest network nor seen the need to so I am happy to delete it - but don’t know how to. If I did delete the Guest network, would t

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi again, with further reading on this it might be due to a bug in the OS Sierra (10.13.4) I am running to do with Auto mount of the TC. Once I set the connection to “Peter Crisp” the TC shows as mounted in the Finder (little upward pointing triangle), but the frustration is that the next time I

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi Peter, Did you setup a Guest Network at some stage? Using a guest network allows you to share you connection with guests to your house without endangering your main network with all of your devices. It appears as it you have two separate wi-fi base stations instead of one. Regards, Ronni Se

Connection to Time Capsule

I have just last night realised that my connection to my Time Capsule in my house has me connected as “Guest”. I think this is just a recent thing as I would have recognised before now over the 8 years odd I’ve had it. I can’t think what may have changed this but wonder how I can actually alter

Re: Mac stuck in boot loop

That’s good to hear Peter, I was a bit concerned your MacBook Pro might still in a loop, when we hadn’t heard back from you. ;-) Cheers, Ronni  Ronni Brown’s iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB > On 17 Apr 2018, at 5:05 pm, Peter Faulks wrote: > > > >> Hi Ronnie, > > You saved the day - again > T

Hi , Jennifer, Stephen, and Marcus, If you are running the current versions of macOS and keep your systems updated with Apple software updates and security updates, and sensible with NOT clicking on links in emails, going to suspect websites, downloading movies etc from illicit websites. In my

My Book WD External HD - When connected continually shows "Disk Not Ejected Properly" unmounts

Hi, I have a problem with a newly purchased WD My Book 4TB external HD I had a 1TB ext HD that I used to do back ups on an iMac. When I used SuperDuper on it, it kept failing. I sent the failure log off to Shirt Pocket and they suggested that there may be a problem with the Ext HD. So I ran Dis
