Susan, Tag
Do you want to make me an admin and see if I can make the system work? No promises, though . . .
Chris
Yes they are OK. I did want the machine back to confirm of course and they sent it back at no cost
Yes you can still get 27in iMacs ??? all SSD drive but they still look the same as the earlier versions - unlike the 24in which comes in pretty colours. The only visual difference is that nowadays they come with a full size keyboard.
I got a refurb however - 2019 version with the combined SSD/Hard Drive. ?Retina 5k 3.7 6 core i5 ?2Tb Very pleased with it and it is very quick indeed.
Sadly I am not good at Admin also¡. We must have someone good at this!!!!
Hello Tag, another interesting missive! I¡¯ve never heard of Macback; do you think they are OK? Sad about your GPU failing like that, annoying too.?
I didnt know you could still get a 27in iMac, so how old is the model you bought? I do love that size and it¡¯s great for playing games on; I¡¯ve recently bought a Steam game, The Sinking City, for playing on my Boot Camp partition when I¡¯m not playing EverQuest and it¡¯s quite an intriguing mystery.
By the way, have you heard from John Miller at all? I tried to get him back into the group but I¡¯m rubbish at the admin side and I don¡¯t think it worked. ?Would you like to have a go?

I have just had something of a fraught two weeks on the Mac front! I have just purchased a ?refurb 27in Retina 5k 3.7 GHz ¨C which I am very pleased with - certainly very fast!?I had no trouble with Mail - but Micro$oft Office was a pain in the fundament cos it would not cross over. I got on to MS to get some help and got as far as unlicencing my old machine - but the given that I had not yet set up mail I was left with no email! Their ¡®help¡¯ as as much use as a chocolate fireguard!. I set up mail which is now working fine, but I haven ?filed MS under Foxtrot Oscar! Will never touch again and certainly not gonna pay a monthly fee.
?I wiped my old 27in 2013 machine and set up ready for use by the new owner and sent it off to Macback after getting a quote of just under 300 sons for my old machine. ?They then contacted me with a revised quote of ?17.00 and told me that the GPU was failed. This must have happened in transit although I was suspicious cos it was absolutely fine when it left here. Anyway they returned it no problem and indeed the GPU was dufff - so 300 squid down the Swannee¡.sigh.
Anyway new machine is fine so just have to put it down to ¡®one of those things¡¯. ?More p1ssed off with MS Office than anything else!
Mail was no problem at all (never had Jude¡¯s problem) and I think I am better off with just Apple products. Have actually got Word working again no thanks to MS.?

I haven¡¯t had anything like that, Jude. ?Mail has just continued working. ?Could it be your ISP?

Mail bobbed up and wanted some extra security --- read it thought.... yeah ok -- bloody nuisance. Nothing in the email page - blank basically ..... you have to tell every single one to load from the web. I thought I had ticked the right box under security to reverse this and tell it not to do this --- but its still doing it - how does one resolve this ? Amny clues anyone ?
Thanks
Jude
