An ethernet connection makes no difference. A real mystery this.

Thanks again DeltaMac. I shall try this. The story behind the Mac mini problem was that the screen froze one day and I could not get it back to normal. I couldn't use Disk Utility or Diskwarrier to repair it. So I took it to a local repair store and they reinstalled Mojave for me (which cost...

Cheryl - nothin is running when I restart the Mac. DeltaMac - thanks for this advice. I shall do a reinstall.

If I put my Mac mini to sleep or select restart, it will not wake up or restart. I then have to shut it down by holding the power button and then restart it by holding the power button again. This can't be doing the computer any good in the long term. So now if I leave the Mac mini for any...

You may be on to something here DeltaMac, except that the hard drive was replaced in 2014 with a larger one. That said, I will look into replacing the current hard drive. Many thanks.

I recently had to re-install El Capitan onto my 2009 MacBook Pro due to a 'frozen screen'. No problems getting the OS installed, however, now the laptop is so slow! I am constantly seeing the spinning pizza wheel and some programmes (like Pages) seem to take an eternity to load. I have used...

DeltaMac - my 2012 Mac mini comes with a Firewire 800 port. So I have purchased a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter and will see how that works.

Thanks, DeltaMac! (I give you permission to stop looking for a USB to Firewire adapter that works. :cool: ) LOL

I want to connect my old camera with a Firewire 400 connector to my new(ish) Mac mini. Does anyone know if you can a Firewire 400 connector to 2.0 USB adapter? If not, can I get a Firewire to a Thunderbolt adapter? My Mac mini is a late 2012 model. Thank you.

Thanks DeltaMac!

Is it possible to purchase a USB connector to connect to this cable? See photo.

Thanks Cheryl. That seems the way to go.

Safari Version 11.0.3 (11604.5.6.1.1) This is occurring on my 2009 MacBook Pro (see Signature below for details). Safari restarts and reopens the page that's crashed (although if it is a YouTube video, the video has to restart from the beginning). I am sure it is an easy fix, but I don't...

Thanks Scott. Good advice!

I don't click on links in an email.

Thanks Cheryl. Actually the 'unsubscribe' links are also bogus and will result in a can of worms if clicked on.

I know Bob's Place is mainly for light stuff but I didn't know where else to ask this question. I am getting up to 20 phishing emails a day from China. I know they are from China because if I hover the mouse over one of the bogus links in the email I can see that if I clicked on the link I...

Welsh is a difficult language to learn. I only the know the basics, but road signs are easy to read if you are used to them and see them every day. And don't forget Wales' longest village name: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Diolch yn fawr DeltaMac (Welsh for thank you). I hadn't thought to go to Mail in Settings. I was trying to change things in Mail itself.
