Re: shutting down my Mac

I'm sure you'll be happy with it. It's a good choice. I used to have a 2013 MacBook Air 13. I really liked it. I would have kept it a lot longer if I had not made the mistake of buying it with only 128 GB of storage. - Brad - On Jun 1, 2021, at 00:41, Les Kriegler wrote:  I understand. I do

Re: shutting down my Mac

Hi Les, I just wanted to say congratulations. Now that my Air is up and running, I’m really enjoying it. I think you’ll be very happy with your choice. And I agree with you about the function keys. The touch bar isn’t awful or anything, if it had been more responsive, I probably wouldn’t have m

Well, if I recall, SSD drives were very expensive back then. I purchased mine with 1 TB of storage. That will be more than enough for my needs Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 1, 2021, at 9:10 AM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > I'm sure you'll be happy with it. It's a good choice. > I used to have a 201

Hi everybody, I need some help. I hope I can explain my issue thoroughly so that you can understand what I am asking. Coming from a windows background on windows I am able to have multiple windows open for example, a Microsoft word document, and Internet explorer page, and email. I can press the

Ok, I have no idea if this was how this was supposed to look, and I unfortunately don’t have the original string anymore, but it looked something like http://localhost , with a string of numbers after it. That was the only url in the config file I found, and I tried to overri

Re: Working with multiple windows on the Mac help

Hi, A couple of things to comment on here. First, the example you used with respect to Windows is slightly different than what you’re asking to happen on your Mac. Your example in Windows used Word and IE which are different applications. This is more or less the same on the Mac. If you had

Hi, Like Brad, I am unable to make the ctrl+delete key combination initiate a shutdown. I have tried it on a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro, 2020 M1 MacBook Air, 2020 Intel MacBook Air, 2017 MacBook Air nor my 2009 MacPro with wired Apple keyboard. The keyboard shortcuts listed in this Apple Support art

As always, Tim provides a concise explanation. Yes, working with multiple windows is a little different on the Mac, but once you get use to it, this can be a powerful tool to manage your workflow. Using a combination of multiple windows and tabs within an application can be a useful tool to manag

Re: shutting down my Mac

I suspect the original poster could have been mistaken in stating that the CTRL + Delete key-command could be used to initiate a shut down. On some Mac keyboards, there is an Eject key located immediately above the Delete/Backspace key. I suspect the poster was thinking about CTRL + Eject, rath

That’s awesome! Yep, I looked at an old email about the M1 chip and it sounds like the speed is a lot faster compared with the Intel processors on older Macs. Right now, I’m using a MacBook from 2007. I got it used from a friend that I work with back in 2013. His sister had a Mac that she didn’
