  • Preview seems to work better. I was able to add text to several .jpg's without a problem.   Drag and drop is still flaky and works only intermittently - especially trying to D&D URL's doesn't always work.   Trying to email GIF's doesn't work as …

  • Muppetry,   Okay, I booted in safe mode.  What should I do now?  Everything looks the same  except no start up apps and windows shimmer/flicker when moved or I type like this.   Do I have to reboot to get out of safe mode?   But did you try bootin…

  • Just as an example, I’ll open a .jpg and add text or something to it with Preview, and it may work. Then I’ll open another .jpg and try to make a change and it won’t work.  If I Force Quit Preview and re-open, it may or may not work on that second .…

  • Like many others, I'd like a 'Mini Pro' (with the same goodies that an iMac has) connected to a separate 27" IPS monitor. I like my 27" iMac; however, I don't think an AIO is practical in the long term.

  • This is so flaky.  Resolution just returned to previous state by itself; however, System Preferences still won't open to show icons.     I can only see it View (list) mode; however, clicking on ANY item doesn't do a damned thing. Going to restart to…

  • I notice that at least three posts on this thread no longer show up, at least, on my computer. That includes the last two and an earlier one showing my Activity Monitor readings about 'Kernel Task'.  How did that happen?   My biggest concern at this…

    in Kernel problem? Comment by sequitur October 2013
  • I've reinstalled Maverick, but it doesn't seem to help. Many files are missing; many URL's still don't work; some apps don't work. I'm concerned about retrieving stuff from the back-up HD. It may make matters worse, so I'm afraid to try.  I did try …

  • More and more problems. Files disappearing; aliases and original files not connecting or originals ceasing to exist; functions not functioning; etc.    Should I reinstall Mavericks?  I'm stumped at this point. My iMac is just about useless. I'm surp…
