Hi Andrew I to get the numbers busy when typing in my large numbers file, as I mentioned earlier. However, I just ignore it. If I do that, I found it puts the data in there anyway. My fan comes on also and gets warm. I have a MacBook Pro. However, I have found that it doesn't seem to Hirte any.

I don't seem to get mail busy messages on my MacBook Air either. But I do on my iMac, which has four times the RAM. Perhaps it's because my messages are saved on the SSD with the MacBook Air, but I'll try repairing permissions and resetting PRAM on the iMac just in case this does fix it. I have

Okay, Ann, I just got my question answered, but would I need to use a wired keyboard to do this? I have a bluetooth, and it doesn't seem to be invoked at that point, which makes sense. Kristeen On Nov 19, 2012, at 2:15 AM, Anne Robertson wrote: > Hello Max, > > The PRAM is the Parameter RAM.

mountain lion impressions

Hey everyone, been meaning to update to mountain lion for a while, and finally had some time to do it this weekend. Over all I'm very impressed. I think the best thing is that the safari busy messages are totally gone and you no longer have to turn voiceover off and back on again to get around
