Frank,

Syncing with iCloud does come with the disadvantage of delete-on-one-device means deleting on all devices.

This generally only a worry if one is keeping photos of one's girlfriend on an iPhone one's wife has access to. 😱

Photos are only being actually stored in the cloud, unless one has a phone with a large memory, in my case I only have 16GB.

I only have the one girlfriend, which is in itself amazing considering how grumpy I am. I could not handle two, nor have any offers been made.

I only import pictures into Photos that i want to share. I transfer all my original files into a folder that only stores originals. I am also starting to organize by camera - folders for Fuji, Olympus, etc.

I downloaded the OneNote app for free, and I bought the Pages app, both for word processing. OneNote icon is in the Dock while Pages is accessed through LaunchPad. How do I change/reverse that?

Edit: got it

Cool, thanks photomoof!

Last year I bought a (Kijiji) seagate wireless 1TB external hard drive in my quest for storage and archiving for my iPad. It didn't look like I could get it to work so I put it on a shelf until yesterday when I thought I'd give it a try on my mba.

Using the usb cable, I was able to make it work. 🙂 Now I just need a CD writer and I'll be all set. (I mentioned that I did have a CD writer, but the 2 usb plugs are too close together to reach to either side of the mba.)

I'm pretty much done now. 😉

I'm pretty much done now. 😉

Whew! I glad you finally, and for the first time, said that! :angel:

I really should trademark that phrase. 😉
I really should have that inscribed on my tombstone.

inscribe it on ALL YOUR CAMERAS!

As a Buddhist, it's not even true on my tombstone. 😉


Don't you just love those who engrave stuff on cameras?

Okay, now what?

These incessant alerts started popping up while I was on the couch tuner site looking for a tv show. I've trying restarting and shutdown, but it just opens with the same window. I've also tried force quit, but that didn't work. I thought OS X was immune to viruses.

So, how would you proceed?

 

[FrankS]

Okay, I'm good. Last night I was trying to close the windows as soon as they popped up and they just popped up faster and multiplied. This morning, I calmly clicked off the boxes and eventually I got back to the couch tuner site and closed it. Everything seems fine now. Guess I won't be going there again. 🙁

That's not a virus, it's just garbage spam scripts on a crappy website. Your computer is fine. I recommend installing the free ghostery extension for safari:

https://www.ghostery.com

It suppresses malicious scripts, and you can allow it to pass through useful ones, or advertising that you actually want to see.

Thank you, Robert! I'll give it a try.
