    Airport Extreme Vs. Netgear R7000 Router

    I was advised to buy a DrayTek Vigor 2710n router. We turned it on four years ago and turned it off three months ago when we went to the superfast broadband and upgraded to the next generation of router. Also a DrayTek - a 2760n. A friend of mine who runs wifi networks with maintenance...

    Screws Loose On Laptop.

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 model with the aluminium casing. Today I found that all four screws on the underside at the back, beneath the hinge on the lid, were loose. One had come out far enough to catch on a finger, which is what highlighted it. So check the bottom is screwed on!!

    My Wife Is Getting My Texts!

    This seems to have started today. I have an iPhone 3GS. My wife has an iPhone5. We share an iCloud account, but have different phone numbers and different phone network providers. I have been sent texts today by iMessage - the ones that appear in a blue box on the phone - and they have...

    Delete Gmail Spam In Mail

    Have you set the mailbox behaviour to automatically delete all junk mail from the gmail server after one day/week/month? The option is in Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviours. Then select the gmail account in the sidebar. Or try removing from Junk and using the "Advanced" tab and...

    Delete Iphoto

    I haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet. Does it still use the program "Image Capture" as an intermediary between the camera connection and the photo program? If so, is it recognising the camera when connected and still trying to send it to iPhoto? And treating the SD card as a new connection and...

    Iphone5 Batery Lasting Very Short, Phone Dies At 40% (apple Says Its Fine)

    My wife finally got the battery changed earlier this week. Didn't happen on Friday. The Apple store, who made the appointment and knew what it was for, said it was too late in the day to do the work! :mad: So a new appointment was made. So far the battery is OK, but the wifi is still...

    Iphone5 Batery Lasting Very Short, Phone Dies At 40% (apple Says Its Fine)

    I can't help with this problem, but the fault seems similar to the problem with my wife's iPhone 5. Her's dies when the battery level shows 37%. Cuts out. Then you can put it on charge and it turns on after a minute or two with the battery showing 5%, which I think is normal for a flat...

    What Is A Good App For Learning German?

    Have a look at the Elisabeth Smith CDs. Very simple and straightforward for a quick start in a language. Very good for a holiday. And before using a serious longer course. May be enough if you are staying in bigger hotels where there is often someone who can speak or help with English...

    What Is The Current Favourite Web Authoring Software?

    Thanks for that info. I've passed it on to my wife. She will decide which she likes. Apologies for the delay in replying. My internet connection has been dead for three days. :( BT in the UK. They have a 72 hour window for repair, and achieved it by about 5 seconds. 72 hours in this day...

    What Is The Current Favourite Web Authoring Software?

    Something fairly straightforward and WYSIWYG. My wife has her own website which has been constructed with iWeb. But she is finding that the lack of updates for iWeb seem to be causing problems with some of the things she wants to do. So, she needs to move to something more up to date, I...

    Failing External Drive

    I've tried extra cooling on unreliable discs, but it hasn't worked. I have split my stuff on a bigger disc into a lot of sub folders while I could - while the disc worked. Then copied them off one at a time. If you make the subfolders small enough, you can be luck and get a whole one off...

    Safari hijack? "updateplayer.us" demanding to be installed!

    All done. No problems at all far. Computer works OK. No intrusions in my bank account. No spam. All seems normal. Slight panic yesterday at a new hotel, but the owner had installed his wi-fi extender incorrectly. All fixed. :) Just got to fix the car so that we can drive the 800 miles...
