I have purchased an iOS app called Brass. It allows you to change the look of your Home Screen but I can’t get it to work. Does anyone have any experience using this app please?

I have a Mac mini and I send files (Jpegs, PDFs etc) to friends abroad. One friend, a priest in America, uses an iPad and when I send files to him he can’t open them. Could anyone explain why this is happening please?

Every time I try to translate a sentence I get an error message saying there is a network error. However my broadband Wi-Fi is alway on and working fine so I don’t know what the problem is. Can anyone suggest a solution?

My daughter has a five year old Airbook with a brand new battery fitted recently but when she presses the power button the laptop will not start up. Any suggestions anyone please?

I own a 2013 Mac Mini attached to an old CRT Mitsubishi 24 screen monitor. It all works great except the external camera I use for Skype and Zoom no longer works (it is attached to the Mac Mini via a USB cable - see attached photo). I would like to replace the camera but I know technology has...

I own a 22 inch CRT monitor made by Mitsubishi in 2000. It is still working in 2020 but occasionally the screen goes all blue and I have to turn the monitor off and on again. It doesn't happen often, but does anyone consider this a sign that the monitor is likely to fail at some point soon...

When I import all my photos from the Pictures folder to Photos they fill up the default folder ‘Recents’. I then have place these newly imported photos into albums but I am then left with all 3,000+ photos in the ‘Recents’ folder in Photos. This is a pain as I only want my actual recently taken...

In my address book, I had two emails for a colleague - one for his home and one for his place of work. He asked me a week ago to stop sending any emails to his work address. So I went into the address book and deleted his work email address and just kept his home address. Now when I create a...

I am inclined to purchase 3rd party apps (as long as they are approved by Apple), rather than just rely on Apple programmes. However, I wonder whether I need most of them. For example, I have Microsft Office yet Pages and Numbers do me fine for what I need. I recently purchased Clean MyMac X...

I get several spam emails a day from a company that I didn't know existed before the spam emails started arriving. Clicking unsubscribe does nothing. I have set up a filter in Mail Preferences to block the sender but the rule doesn't work for some reason. The emails keep coming despite...

New tabs keep opening in Safari on both my Macbook Pro (10.11.6) and my Mac mini (10.15.2). On both computers I am running the latest version(s) of Safari. I have scanned for malware (using Malware bytes) and I have Intego's anti-malware software installed anyway. Does anyone have a potential...

I thought Catalina was supposed to be leaner. It's using up a lot of my memory on my Mac mini. Anyone else experiencing this?.

Roaring Apps just have a question mark next to these Adobe programmes when checking for Catalina compatibility. Does any one know whether the following Adobe products: Photoshop CS3, Indesign CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3, work on Catalina?

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

My iPhone 5SE shows emails in "Organise by Conversation". How can I change this so emails are shown separately?
