Re: Time Capsule slowing our internet download speed

2014-08-02 Thread Donna Goodin
I think the problem is in part the time capsule, and in part the modem. We're connecting using the cable modem provided by our service provider. When I say we took the time capsule out of the loop, I mean that we connected my husband's PC directly to the cable modem. Even then we're not getti

a curiosity regarding the desktop

2014-08-19 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all, I notice that when I boot my Mac, the desktop that I am taken to seems to be a sort of scaled down version of the desktop. That is to say, it only contains the aliases I have set up, I don't see the sidebar or toolbar. Why these two versions of the desktop? And if I wanted to, is the

launching apps

2014-08-24 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all, We should not forget to mention that probably the easiest way to launch an app is by creating a shortcut in Keyboard commander. It requires set up, of course, which may be tricky for a new user, but once you've done that, all you have to do is hit the right option key--or whatever key
