  •  "Just grab a DisplayPort-DVI adapter."    That's what I have now, but there is no MBP port that will accept DVI / (thunderbolt?). I need an adapter from the thunderbolt connecter to a USB or Firewire port.  Does that exist?

  • I was using Quicken 2006 (powerpc) which stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks.   Would anyone recommend using Quicken 2007 for Lion (Intel) when upgrading to Yosemite?  I need only  basic record keeping and downloading from my bank. If not, …

  • it's a ridiculous price for an unproven 'upgrade' (?).  I can foresee many previous users shying away from it for those reasons alone, and Intuit saying, "See, we were right. Mac users aren't interested in an upgrade."

  • Since you’re new to Macs and not a techie, I can imagine that you’re having a hard time following complicated instructions.     I’m not a techie either and don’t know if you have the same problem I’ve had; however, in my case, AI members suggested t…

  • Have you tried re-launching Finder or http://forums.appleinsider.com/t/160979/flaky-mavericks?   Keep AI abreast of what you have tried so far and what results you've had; otherwise, AI members won't know how to help you.

  • Have you resolved your problem? If so, please share with AI how you were able to fix it.  There may be others with the same trouble.

  • I’ve had similar problems on my iMac when I “upgraded” (?) to Mavericks.  One thing that helped was  relaunching  ‘Finder’.  It would work for a while and then I’d lose drag and drop again.  After many cycles like that, it must have straightened its…

  • Submitting that last post jumped Safari Web Content to 220 MB.     And Editing is working now. 
    in Safari memory usage Comment by sequitur July 2014
  • The second I submitted the previous post, Safari Web Content jumped from 92.2 MB to 197 MB.  Is that usual?     BTW,  clicking on 'Edit' in the previous post didn't produce an editing window.  Would that be something on my end or on AI's end?

  • Is anyone using MacBooster?  What do you think of it?   Is it worth $60? Do you have a better suggestion?

  • Opening the GIFs in Preview in Snow Leopard shows the frames.  In Preview in Mavericks the frames don't show.  My conclusion: Mavericks must be the culprit.  Is there anything that can be done to to open them Mavericks Preview?
