Re: mac trade in prrogram MacBook Pro
I¡¯ve sold a number of devices to Gazelle. If their inspection shows an item to be worth less than they have quoted, they give you the choice of accepting a lower value or having the device returned to you.

Re: mac trade in prrogram MacBook Pro
Have you tried reinstalling the OS? If the HDD is failing, fitting an SSD will transform it.
JT¡¯s original post notes that he already has an OWC SSD rather than Apple¡¯s hard drive.

Mine is a 2012, and working fine.

For my edification only, what do you mean by "Automatic paper feed for all modes"?
Sorry I wasn't clearer. It seems that some of the AIO printers I looked at had auto sheet feeders for printing only. So you would not be able to stack several items to copy or Fax.

Re: AIO Printer Recommendation (one more thing)
Which is why I replaced my ink jet printer with a Brother MFC9130 laser printer.
I had read you previous post I concur with your thoughts. My spouse often prints off patterns and likes color for that task. I've had several mono-chrome laser printers going back as far as Apple's original and the ability for the printer to sit unused for long periods while still printing reliably when needed was great.?

Re: AIO Printer Recommendation (one more thing)
Which is why I replaced my ink jet printer with a Brother MFC9130 laser printer. The toner is dry and is ready to print when I am. The consumables are expensive, the printer is not. However, there are aftermarket suppliers with more reasonable prices on consumables. It is no more expensive for me to use this laser printer than the ink jet. I was always wasting expensive ink ¡®cleaning¡¯ the heads. Sometimes the cleaning operation had to be done 3 or 4 times to get it printing correctly. Most of the ink is just wasted. It is worth it to me to not be aggravated by having to constantly ¡®fiddle¡¯ with the printer to coax it to work. Cost per page is about the same as an ink jet. If you print constantly like our in-house lawyer, then clogged heads on an ink jet are probably NOT an issue. If you print infrequently, then that can be an issue.

Howdy. Found on an Apple KB. "They were parts of an older OS and no longer exist. The launchd plists should have been removed. The part that is wrong are the plists, not the executables." Extended Survey Program. This <might> be some kind of, well, survey program by Canon. I'm not sure about this. Do you have a Canon printer/scanner??

Do you suggest I run the app mostly?
I run DetectX automatically at every boot-up (and I turn my laptop off overnight most nights, so ¡°Boot-up¡± is usually every day). I then close it, but if I install a new piece of software, DetectX brings up a requester asking if it should check again. Since its check only takes a few seconds, I always say ¡°yes¡±.
