Mac Crash

by Christy

May 5, 2011

Hi, I haven't been here for a while, but I used to post to other chatboards and when I had computer problems, someone here was always helpful. Two days ago, I brought my Mac laptop to school - no problems. When I was ready to go home, I thought I heard an unusual sound, but didn't really think much of it. When I got home, my Mac was frozen. I forgo...See More

Christy Thanks a bunch for your help. Turns out my hard drive was gone - some mechanical problem they said at the Apple store. Apple Care had run out about six weeks ago, naturally. I have a new hard disk, but my data is gone. I couldn't get any of your suggestions to work, but I really appreciate your responses.

data migration

by jan

May 26, 2011

When my old iMac died I got a new iMac 11.2 and had the data transferred. So now my new one has a folder of "data backup". I guess I don't know what to do with it. I want to be able to get my email contacts and bookmarks. When I open the data backup I don't seem to know how to use the info. I feel it must be something easy that I just don't know. I...See More

It's too bad they didn't just transfer your stuff. Mac Service usually would do that - PC's no clue.

For example search a name or a known email address and see if Spotlight can locate it. OR, add to FIND categories, "visible or invisible", "include system files". prior to "Finding"

Can't offer more help.

Good Luck,

N.

IPad or laptop?

by LoveToOrff

Jun 18, 2011

I teach music K-8. I'll be buying one or the other with my own money so that I have it for school and personal use. I spoke with one music teacher who is an IPad user and swears she doesn't need anything else to store her music files, powerpoints, etc. and use in class.

Is there anything a laptop can do that an Ipad couldn't?
