I finally decided to upgrade to Big Sur. Getting "null" set and error. I'm in Mojave. Do I need to go to Catalina first? I don't want Monterey yet. I just got comfortable with Big Sur. I'm upgrading (supposedly) from the System Preferences. FYI: When I first clicked on the "upgrade to Big Sur"...

Figured it out. Was looking at the libraries all at once vs which library was open. Duh.

What's up with this? I have three iMovie libraries. I say "move" or copy" and I now see the project three times, but in the drop down on the left, nothing has copied or moved. But the project does show up in 2021 under iMovie Library so at least that is showing up now. Was this a big change in...

I'm working on some old DV tapes (from a Sony Digital 8, circa 2000). I've been doing this on and off for a number of years. Trying to get everything in so I can upgrade to Big Sur because I'm sure iMovie and this camera (most likely) won't talk to each other any more. And the camera is starting...

That makes sense in theory. I swipe down and see "SIRI" suggestions and recent apps I have used. I'll try it the next time I get any notifications. Interestingly, I went into the notifications and played around with the choices, so which aren't intuitive Notification Grouping (apps or...

If you have four or five notifications, maybe calender, news, update, whatever... and you accidentally swipe the phone, or touch it wrong, or you intentionally read one, how do you go back to look at the others? Had this happen again this morning. They vanished so quickly I can't tell you where...

I spent two hours long distance with a friend the other day, on Facetime, using Zoom, sharing screens to "just simply" figure out where his SMTP settings had gone, why there were duplicates, why some were missing... he has three email accounts, two for business and all of them are using the...

As I said, I've never used it. Been using Macs since 2000 so don't know when this showed up; Thought it might be a pleasant diversion. Have always used the dock and have the applications folder exactly where you mention, along with documents, downloads and trash. :cool: So, the question...

This isn't a big important thing. Just one of those annoyances. I have two aliases in the launchpad (I've never used the thing, and the other day I was thinking hmmmm.... maybe it could be useful sometimes. So, I grouped stuff, made folders, etc. Okay fine. However, there are two aliases from...

Thanks. Yes, I'll check with Ford and Hyundai.

I appreciate your consideration on the topic ...and we probably PROBABLY :-) are okay ... but ... This is the point: Checking a five year old and four year old manual is worthless because the phones have updated software, just like the apps on OS systems on computers can suddenly stop working...

Yes, both link fine on moto g androids

I’m ready to finally purchase two iPhones, one main reason, to use contactless pay. However, I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata and my spouse has a 2017 Ford Escape. What’s the easiest way to find out definitively if the 11 with pair with them? Don’t want to make a $1400 mistake. I believe the Ford is...

I think I was able to boot from the flash drive. Not sure, because it appeared when looking at the disc utility that it did boot from the flash. I say appeared because there was a lot of clicks and tries and this and that and choosing, etc when something finally happened. Then I got out of safe...

I have copied the .dmg over to the flash drive as is too now. Haven't done anything with it. I'm waiting for the spinning to stop after I clicked on trackpad to find out why only the mouse works right now. Should be about five minutes. :) (after five minutes the window popped up to disable in...

Thanks. In the meantime, just for snicks, I launched Com-R and got into the Time Machine. The Mach HD showed up (along with the flashdrive grey and another Restore HD grey). And instead of choosing the same TM back up I always do (The one from May) I chose January 8. So, I'm looking at a TM...

So, yes, let's assume that the installer app is on the flash drive at this point. I'll let you know what happens with the TM restor it's 63.5% done. :-) Thanks for your interest in helping. I'm glad I don't NEED this computer right now.

Most of this is a foreign language to me. I was able to go online to "download" an install but it stops and says I can't. The HD was locked so I started down some rabbit hole on that. I did download an install and save to a flash drive but haven't a clue as to how to get the computer to...

I have an old 2009 MBP I've actually replaced. But I was thinking about using it just for emails, online, innernet. It's been on the charge for at least 2 yrs because the battery is dead. So, I found I could replace the battery for under $90. I've gone thru the disk utility hoops, the reboot...

We've since replaced this laptop, mainly because years ago it wouldn't hold a charge in the battery. Or, so I assumed. I'm using it to play with and test right now ... I don't think there's anything left on it that I need, but I'm still checking. And I had to put the OS on via Time Machine...
