As far as I'm concerned High Sierra has fixed problems caused by Sierra. My mid-2011 iMac was running hot for no reason, with the fans whirring away when there seemed to be little call on the processor. It is now running normally. My 4TB WD 'My Boo…

As a UK user I can see no justification for charging us £9.99 when U.S. subscribers get the same service for $9.99 which translates as £6.50. We're used to being penalised when buying hardware, which is always more expensive here because of 'shippin…

It gets worse! Just discovered that You Tube has been completely removed from my Apple TV2. It's rapidly turning into a brick. I can of course stream from my iPhone and because I invested in the kit to connect it to my hi-fi I can still use it as a …

I've had no Yosemite inspired problems on my iMac but on my MacBook Pro I keep getting a message saying that 'another device on the network is using the same address 192.168. etc' At one point I also had 4 instances of the MacBook showing in the 'Sh…

I hate iOS7 - we've all gone along with the gradual reduction from the luscious rich colours and textures of the original OSX to the flat, grey 'serious' 'businesslike' finish of later iterations and now the minimalist aesthetic has ousted the last …

Fine words from the company that brought us the all-conquering Zune! The message is we still think that people are going to buy tablets so that they can do office work round the clock - they just don't get it. Word processors and spreadsheets are n…

You can bet your bottom dollar that if/when Apple releases iWatch it will be a product that creates a new order of functionality. I can't predict what surprises it will unleash but if there isn't a niche to justify its place in Apple's portfolio i…

The first iPad was introduced in 2010 and was 'wildly successful', ditto iPod Touch, therefore there are millions out there unable to upgrade to the latest OS, so presumably they've either been chucked away in despair or just written out of the equa…

@ dsd Yeah right, sounds great! Or was this irony? http://www.zunescene.mobi/forums/index.php?topic=46687.0;wap2

I don't know if it's currently used in the US but all our cards in the UK are 'chip and pin' so it would need some kind of input device to take off here. The iPad screen could take a numerical code (pin number) but entry has to be discrete and secu…

$500,000 - although a huge amount to me - is just the equivalent of the money Steve Jobs got by taking bottles back for the deposit to Apple.....It's not even worth paying the lawyers to fight it! I don't know whether there's any merit in this cas…

Masconn72 Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about! BBC iPlayer features a week's worth of all the current output of the channel - Sherlock, Dr Who or whatever is in season, amazing wildlife documentaries from the makers of Blue Planet and…
