I've just had two successive instances where I was unable to complete an on-line order. I was able to complete every other field - name, address, etc - except those for my bank account details which exhibited no response when I tried repeatedly to enter the requisite digits. This was using both...

I want to be able to watch films on my TV as and from whom I please. I’m not interested in the all-singing-dancing prepackaged offerings as come Roku, Apple TV, etc. I thought I had found the solution in a Samsung BD-H6500 blu-ray player which, as well as playing DVDs and offering its own...

I want to watch IMDb movies on my HDTV (Panasonic TX-P42G20B). I have a 'smart' blu-ray player (Samsung BD-H6500), connected to my TV, and an iMac. My iMac has an ethernet connection to my router (Technicolor TG582n) which has a wi-fi connection to my blu-ray player. The blu-ray player...

I paid for and downloaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZ2Ks8Jx8o, an .mp4 file, but was told that my Quicktime Player couldn't open it. I've never had this problem before, .mp4 being my usual download format, though I usually download them using DownloadHelper. But I play them back on...

Unlike the experience of a few others, my recent upgrade to Mavericks has ended up fine, with a clean re-installation dealing with what had been an abysmally sluggish performance following a simple upgrade - apart from a minor problem with my imported Mail backup (and once I'd been shown where...

I have a 5-year-old iMac 9.1 with OS 10.6.8, Safari and Firefox, together with a VMware Fusion virtual PC with Windows XP and Internet Explorer which operates through my iMac's wireless internet connection. I've no special security on my Mac but have McAfee Antivirus Plus on my virtual PC...

My computer is unable to access a part of two websites; parts of other websites too for all I know. I get no response when I try to enter my gas and electricity consumption figures where required on a UK gas & electricity supplier comparison website (Money Saving Expert's Cheap Energy Club)...

I have a chalkboard hanging on a kitchen cupboard door with the month's appointments, etc, listed. I keep thinking how smarter - dust free and more consistently legible - an LCD panel would be, displaying appropriate bits of my iMac's iCal when touched. I don't want to have to go to the bedroom...

I want to be able to convert a US produced, region 1, NTSC DVD, bought as a present for my grand-daughter, and burn it onto a replacement DVD that will play on her parents' UK, region 2, PAL/SECAM DVD player & digital television and, also, upon their iMac. It's just that one review I read...

I can no longer open my Downloads folder by clicking on the Dock icon. When I tried to, a question mark (in bold type) appeared in front of the icon and the folder name that appeared had "17-19-06" added; ie, it said "Downloads 17-19-06" instead of just "Downloads". After two or three days of...

I'm experiencing two email oddities with my recently installed Snow Leopard: 1. "Mail Activity" consistently announces the arrival of twice the actual number of incoming emails; eg, 10 when there are only 5. I do have two registered email addresses, but then so I did before with Leopard...
