Hi Diablo, So why has this only started now? I've been adding music to my iPhone from the MBP since I bought the iPhone a couple of months ago. I don't want or need these apps on my computer - they're just using up disk space. There's got to be some way to stop this from happening as I was...

I've just plugged in my iPhone and tried copying over a PDF that I wanted to read on the go. It said I couldn't read this without installing iBook. Ok, I searched in iTunes on my MBP, found it, and chose to install it. Problem is, I couldn't then find it on my iPhone. I turned the iPhone...

Fryke, Earthsaver, Thanks. I guess I'll just install the Mac stuff as I feel it's safe to do so and read up on the app updates and take it from there. Again, many thanks!

Diablo, DeltaMac and Earthsaver, Thanks for all your input. It's very helpful and has helped a lot in my understanding of things. If I may ask one last question: if I choose not to install an update and then at a later date another update for the same product comes out, can I install the later...

Thanks, Earthsaver. I was looking for the ignore option on the screen rather than thinking it might be in the menu list. :( The update I'm getting for Logic is a Prokit Update 6.0.1 (I think - haven't checked it since early this morning). Do I really need that? Thanks

Diablo, I've tried that first suggestion of yours, but it doesn't display the options outlined in the article. I've got 10.6.5 and the article only seems to cover up to 10.5. Do you know if it's still possible to make this change on a later system? I'm not having much luck finding a newer...

Diablo/Earthsaver, Thanks for your replies. Diablo, I'll try that first option you suggested. With regard to system updates, should these always be applied or is a wait and see attitude a better bet?

Hello, Is there any way to permanently decline an update? I have a couple that have appeared to fix problems in Logic Pro and I only have Logic Express, so they are of no value to me. I can uncheck them and choose not to install them, but they still appear in the list the next time other new...

DeltaMac, Thanks, but it's all sorted out now. It was because the language I selected was shunted to the bottom of the Edit list rather than being left in alphabetical order that I couldn't find it in the list to untick and thus remove. Appreciate you taking the time to read this and post a...

Sorry - forget this. After checking the list of languages again I've found that rather being in alphabetical order, the language I added was moved to the bottom of the entire list of languages. I've unticked this, so am hoping a reboot will remove it from the list. Will post back if this...

Hello, Under Language & Text there are 4 tabs: Language Text Formats Input Sources I have added a language under the first tab, Language, only to find that there is no correspondingly supported input option under the fourth tab, Input Sources. I would now like to remove the entry I added...

Thanks, DeltaMac. Shortly after posting my original comments I found an Apple support article about running the diagnostics disk that came with my laptop. I did a detailed rather than default diagnostics run and everything came back clean. Could this just be a small glitch for some reason...

Hello to all, I've just had something happen that's happened maybe 2-3 times over the past 8 months or so: two vertical white bars suddenly flashed for just a fraction of an instance in the middle of my screen while I was typing an email in Thunderbird (each one about 1.5cm wide and about 2cm...

Thanks, Nolesrock! That's great! I'll give that a try. I hope it sorts things out.

Hi Diablo, I can't speak for others, but for me it's like buying a car: you shop around, find one that has what you're looking for, but it will, of course, have features you don't need (or maybe even want), but they're pre-loaded, so that's that. But if you then take the car in for a full...

Hi Randy, Just downloading YASU and will see if that helps. Doctor X, I'm not acquainted with TechTools, but will have a look at it now. Thanks to you both for your help. I really don't know where the problem lies. If it's me and a misunderstanding of something, fine, but I never had this...

The problem is still persisting. I cleared out a bunch of stuff and deleted another account that was on here that doesn't get used any more and was up to 178GB. I added some data and applied some updates and that dropped to 175GB. Since then (that was a few weeks ago) I've been working almost...

Hi Diablo, Alas, after much further research you are correct. Apple, in its wisdom, has seen fit to foist an app on users without giving them the choice to opt out. To be honest, a pretty sh*tty thing to do. I bought the phone for my use, not to be a guinea pig for Apple's gaming field tests...

I just upgraded the OS on my iPhone 4 and now find I have an annoying app called Game Center. I don't play games and would like to remove this, but so far have found no way to do so. Can someone advise of a safe and reliable way to dump this piece of malware? Thanks, Bowjest

calamarain, I just tried your suggestion and had the same result. Is that really supposed to be correct behaviour? It won't save to a folder of the user's choosing unless the folder is in the root of the drive? I can create an alias and drag that to where I would like the files to appear, but...
