I used to back up my iPad regularly but for some reason have not done so for, literally, years. I’ve just done so, backing it up to my MacBook Pro, and get a message about films and videos not

My boss tells me this is actually a problem with Windows - oh, now, there’s a surprise! :D Best Susan

Oooh, techie stuff! I’ll pass that on to my overseer! :D Best Susan

Harvey uses Dropbox but at the minimum configuration, so no charges. We could not really justify paid versions of that or iCloud but, it you have a use for it, as you say, it keeps you in your

We seem - and I do emphasise “seem”! - to have it working most of the time now. My iMac had a slight break in transmission yesterday evening but got back again. I do hope this is the end of the

I thought that I’d start a new thread on the subject of iCloud. I’ve been using it for a few years now and it’s been reliable, mostly. The glitches are only where I have a slow connection and

Susan I’ve found that a NAS needs a fixed IP address on the LAN to be reliable; DHCP can take a little while to re-allocate IPs sometimes, perhaps on older or mixed systems. I hope that your cable

It turned out - cross fingers - that there needed to be a cable connection to set the thing up to start with. Now, it seems to be functioning normally via wifi but, of course, we shall see! Best Susan

Have you tried accessing your modem via browser window and ascertaining what is on your network and which position it is on the network so you can address it ? Type in …. http://192.168.1.1 Jude

I got spotlight to rescan the whole drive. Helped a little not much. Basically its not like how it used to be. Part of this I think is my own fault in that in some cases I have buried files too deep

on older Macs Drop Copy works between Macs on network. I use the usual airdrop between the modern Macs but the old iMac I use DropCopy. I don’t use iCloud at all except its backing up the new iPad

Thank you for all that, Chris. Harvey is in a hard place over this and it is a good thing he does not have a proper job to complicate matters; being on the local Parish Council does not quite count as

Susan That sounds pretty tricky! And I’m sorry that you have found incompatibilities, but I’ve started using Howard Oakley’s prolific bits of advice on eclecticlight.co

Do you run a home network? We have had one for years and never had any setup difficulties - until now. Harvey decided that his ageing MacBook Air was not agile enough to be the main man, so to speak,

I have an old-fashioned mercury max-min thermometer in the greenhouse and the most it’s been recently is 35C. I did have a magnet to zero it but it got lost so I’m using one of those “secret”

Understand that. We have tropical heat here and its muggy. Been to Calais on a day when it was 39degC and it was awful. Hard to explain to people unless you've experienced both. Jude

Our temperature in west Dorset got up to over 30?C for a couple of days last week, but dropped to mid-20s for the rest of the week. It’s fine here because we’re countryside and hilly with

My cousin Karyn (now retired as a GP) is in the Southbourne area - not had word from her about the weather and she knows what Australian weather is like as she was here for a couple of years some

We have gas instantaneous HW and Falcon gas oven and in the bush we get big bottles delivered. Cheap to run. No air con, but thick industrial batts in the roof - well worth doing. We do run a 30x15

That’s the Air that I’m aiming for, Susan, although I gather you need to spec the 512Gb RAM to achieve full speed (according to the Internet). My wife’s old iMac (2011) will probably need
