Indeed. They figured out where the money is. You get people to like and become familiar with an OS and they will buy the machines that run it. Why we are Mac users :) and not soulless slaves to the Stygian lords of PCs. . . . However, for a bit of Comic Relief [Safe for that thralldom you...

Another reason for me to wait on Mavericks. . . . --J.D.

Whatever you do . . . CLONE your drive with a proper cloning program on another HD--that includes making it "boottable." WAY back, TimeMachine would not do that--make a bootable copy--but I believe that has changed. Do that. Now. I will wait. Man, Littlefinger is a complete fuc . . . oh...

mjbjohn I have had this issue and have written/complained about it in the past. There is a reason users refer to the drives as "MatSHITa." My current one has ceased burning, then starts burning . . . the bottom line is you can obtain a FAR faster and more reliable External DVD...

Wait . . . hold on . . . did he put in a HD with Windows on it and wonders why it will not boot? He might as well have installed a slightly damp blind oyster. --J.D.

I read Your Mom™ [Stop that!--Ed.] Right . . . sorry, more seriously, yes but "it works now" without frelling up the system. And while it is "Outlook" it remains Hotmail to me and, let us be honest, it is all about me. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to "test" an upgrade and playing with...

Currently have three total: two Gmail of which one is rarely ever used and one Hotmail. Will just chalk that up to Communist Indocrination! --J. "HONK! HONK!" D.

I do not believe I mentioned "Yahoo!" Nevertheless, since you brought up Security. Another negative for Mavericks. That had been done but, really, it should not have to be done. Such are annoying yes, but if a user likes them they should not have to disable them to get a basic program to...

So your Mail client is communicating perfectly well with Hotmail and GMail? Not crashing repeatedly? If so, this is a unique circumstance given what my searches have found. Granted, I have not "tried it again" since the last "fix" given the blast of "Mail still FAIL" in the reviews. When I...

I will just note that the current upgrade still has not fixed Mail and it runs slower than molasses on a glacier on Pluto which is still a planet despite what the Communists claim. Why I clone before I upgrade. --J.D.

It is slow. My Mail crashes. Many applications still do not work. Staying with Mountain Lion. Mavericks? --J.D.

"Tessie" Drop-Kick Murphys Because. --J.D. P.S. Now about That "Dirty Water" . . . I'm the man!

I "bump" this to note that I noticed some "issues" on SMART testing of my Internal HD. It was a 750 GB 5400 RPM type. Long story short, I had a 500 GB 7200 RPM from the Macbook I replaced. "Why not put it in there! It will be FASTER." Well, maybe, if I really, really, really believed it. I...

Some suggestions: 1. How Long Will You be Away from Home? if it is for a few days, stop trying to empty the trash, wait until you get home and run the Disk Utility repairs as suggested. Ignore the rest of this post. If you are currently fleeing jurisdiction having burned down your home to...

I share your disgust with the "regionality" laws. It is not a matter of protecting some right to produce expensive crap, it is about the fact that some awesome work done in other countries simply will not get produced in other regions. How do you view them? I am a proud owner of region free DVD...

To add to DeltaMac [PBUH--Ed.]: 1. Browsers: Some browsers like my belov'd Firefox are "memory sinks"--despite claims to the contrary. Part of it is user fault by adding all sorts of fun and even necessary attachments. 2. Internet Service: However, based on your screen shot, Chrome is not...

This may seem like a stupid question, but how the hell are They [Tm.--Ed.] going to know whether or not you are using anti-virus software on a Mac on a campus? Other than that, I use Sophos which has only found virus attachments sent to a "catcher e-mail account"--used to catch and...

Solution The Mac Gurus over at :) responded that IPv6 needs to be "on" for Airport Utility 6.3 to recognize your Airport and/or Time Capsule 1. System Preferences 2. Network 3. Advanced 4. Click TCP/IP in the top bar 5. Next to "Configure IPv6" set to "Link-local only" 6. Click Okay...

I put the smiley because this is not an emergency. Just an odd thing. Searching the :) Fora gave me a lot of irrelevant topics. My system is as below. The Airport I have: AirPort Extreme 802.11 a/b/g/n was purchased less than a year ago. So I see the Airport Utility 6.3 update is available...

A couple of things you may wish to consider in the future. 1. Make sure you clone your drive--to an External. You say you are "new" so let me tell you nothing solves problems easier than having "where you were" backed up before you decided to "delete that strange file" or "OMG . . . MY...
