No celebrations in this house...The following protocol did the trick, all other suggestions failed: In short you need to reboot the modem by unplugging it from the mains and plugging it back in while it is connected to the...

    setting up wireless router with Mac

    I have been sent a wireless router from Virgin, with no instructions or disc. To cut a long story short they now tell me they have no support for Mac users (thanks!). A guy in India did try to help to no avail. I'm sure it's not that difficult, what steps do I have to take?

    find message in mail

    apologies for the slightly dumb Q, but I'm totally fed up after repeated searches and the less than brilliant nature of mac mail. I recently switched to a new imac, which is great and imported my mailboxes from old mac 10.39. This just grouped all old message together under an 'On my Mac...

    Trash Crashes

    strange one this. I, or my wife, may have mistakenly copied my HD. When I turned on emac 60GB today there were two untitled folders on desktop, opened them and both contained copy of my complete HD with icons of docs and applications etc. Dumped both in trash and emptied. Just before trash...
