Tech / Permissions
« on: March 13, 2017, 06:29:47 AM »
So, after reading many threads here, I finally updated from 10.8 to 10.12, largely because some of the sites I use refused to show themselves to my ancient system. Other than having trouble figuring out what a WPA2 password was, I've had zero problems. Yay!
I do have one question. I don't see anything in Disk Utility about repairing permissions. Is this no longer necessary?
Thanks in advance!

Tech / Apple killed the audio port!

I saw a photo of a man wearing the wireless earbuds. I don't know if anyone here is familiar with Star Trek, but I couldn't help thinking Tim Cook was really an agent for the Borg.

Community / What are you reading now that summer is ending?
« on: September 11, 2015, 07:16:32 AM »
If you like that kind of book, I recommend "Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest" by Wade Davis. The subtitle says it all, but it's incredibly well written.

If you never installed it, just don't. I assume you mean you down loaded it to iTunes?
Disturbingly, it downloaded itself and was patiently waiting for me to install it, but I was able to delete it as in that link I added. Now I'm waiting to see if 8.0.2 explodes on anyone before I add it.

It downloaded itself onto my iPad mini and is waiting for me to install it. I don't suppose Apple will now un-download it for me?

Tech / Pages to page?

Hah! Never came across that little tidbit before. Of course, I never read the manual for Pages, either. 
Believe me, I never got very far into the manual either. But I'm used to looking at the bottom of the window for information in other programs (character count, etc.), so that trick found me!

I click on the "Page x of x" at the bottom of the window, and it changes to "Go to Page x."

Tech / New iPad 2 Questions

I spent a few hours with it last night. My happiest moment was finding a setting that silenced that horrible music. It was too much like that Millionaire TV show.

Tech / New iPad 2 Questions
« on: January 17, 2014, 07:38:20 AM »
Santa brought me an iPad mini, and my nephew "volunteered" to set it up for me. I had trouble following what he was doing and found my password and Apple ID weren't working, so my niece cleared settings (as explained above), and I started all over and did it myself. It's working perfectly now.

Tech / Permissions repair warning?

That's one of the warnings that you can safely ignore. Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore. You will get that message every time that you repair permissions; it happens to me too.
Ignore it and have a Happy New Year!

How often do you repair permissions? I had heard it wasn't necessary any more.

I loved Branagh's Hamlet and also Titus with Anthony Hopkins.
I hated reading Shakespeare in high school. I could not figure out what they were saying. But when I see it performed, Shakespeare's amazing! I remember in the early days of Fox, they ran a 2-part production of King Lear with Olivier. Pity they didn't stick to that kind of programming.

If you like to turn up the volume try Spinal Tap. You can go all the way to 11 with it 
Is that with or without the tiny Stonehenge?
