My MacBook seems to be backing up normally to my Time Machine. When I click on the drive and inspect backups, I see entries going all the way back to 2015. However, when I run Time Machine the only backups I currently have access to are the last two I made (yesterday and today). Can someone...

Macbook with El Capitan 10.11.5 iPhone 5s with IOS 9.3.2 Music is not syncing. I have tried various USB ports, including two different hubs and going direct. (I get continuous error alert bleeps when I try to connect directly, so I usually use a hub.) Sometimes I get an alert on my iPhone...

I have set up a rule to mark Junk as read and move to the Junk folder but I still keep ending up with Junk mail in the Trash which has to be manually removed. Clicking Apply Rules has no effect. Any advice?

I have noticed that Mac Mail on my system is deleting messages from particular senders after 24 hrs, despite my advanced settings in my mail accounts reading "Never" delete messages. I cannot determine any reason for this, or figure out why only some senders' messages are being deleted and not...

I inadvertently archived some important email templates in Mail that were saved in a custom folder under "On My Mac" (I was trying to work out how to export them). They all disappeared from the folder and now I can't find them on my Mac using Finder. In fact, I can't find any email files. I've...

I am trying to burn an HD DVD project in iDVD 7.1.2. My system is OS X Yosemite and I created the movie in iMovie 09. When I preview the movie in iDVD the resolution looks fine but when I burn it to a disc or to folders the resulting image is low res (pixelated edges), even though I have gone...

Has Pages been discontinued, and if so what are we supposed to use in its place?

Since updating to Yosemite, has anyone else noticed the tool/menubar and system menus on Macs / iMacs losing "focus" a few hours after starting up? I notice this in all Rt-click menus as well as the menubar. Fonts appear blurred instead of sharp. This isn't evident in the main windows of Safari...

Whilst shuffling data to make space on my HD, I moved all my photos to an external drive. Now, every time I launch iPhoto it becomes unresponsive and I have to force Quit. How can I fix this? (I've tried rebooting.) 2007 iMac, OS 10.9.4 Mavericks.

At some recent point, Mail has begun deleting all my messages more than a month old. I have looked for a setting in preferences which will allow me to extend the length of time messages are saved for, but such a thing no longer seems to exist! Can anyone help?

Will Airport and/or Back To My Mac allow me to use my Macbook as a kind of control surface to view my iMac's screen, access files and launch applications on my iMac wirelessly? Also, I want to output the video display to my HDTV at the same time. I have Apple TV and an old Airport Base...

I have an iMac shared with another Mac (Mini) on my home wifi network. Yesterday I updated the OS on my Mac Mini to Mavericks, and now I am being denied access to the iMac. I have tried re-entering my usual login/password but it is not being recognised, even though I have not changed any of my...

What is the cheapest way to send an analog audio signal from a Minidisc to my iMac? I know there are expensive Firewire interfaces that will allow me to do this but I am after an inexpensive solution.

I bought Apple TV in error (thinking I could use Airplay to transmit my entire desktop to my TV). After connecting to my network via Ethernet and checking it out, I unplugged it, removed the cables and packed it up. However, now iTunes still keeps looking for Airplay devices when I launch it...

I am trying to export a document as either an .xls file or a pdf so that it can be opened and printed by people without Macs. However, the table needs to be scaled up. Despite setting the Print dialogue so that the table is the right size when sending to an A4 printer, it will not export to xls...
