Re: 2009 Macbook pro 2.26? Best OS? - 8 years ago

QuoteRobert M Goose, I can't tell you what capacity SSd is appropriate since I don't know how much space you're using on the drive in your current machine. Personally, I'd choose the largest SSD I could afford without going overboard. If you're using 60 gigs out of a 120 gig drive, then you may do fine with a 120 gig SSD. I'd probably go for the 240 gig model since it's a better bang for th

Re: 2009 Macbook pro 2.26? Best OS? - 8 years ago

QuoteRobert M Goose, I have an '09 Macbook Pro 2.26Ghz with 8 gigs of RAM and an SSD. Runs like a champ! Mine has Yosemite on it. The one you're looking at will run everything from OS 10.6.x through 10.10.x. Since the '09 has 4 gigs already, an investment in an SSD will give the machine lots of punch, maybe even enough that you won't bother with the RAM upgrade. Same thing for the '10 Macbook

Re: how do I not to have to deal with a passcode on a 4s? - 9 years ago

A couple things I don't like about the lock code are: 1.Emergency contact info not available 2. If a honest person would happen to find your phone it would be difficult or impossible for them to contact you. Any ideas to cover these problems? I have thought maybe the lock screen should have a Emergency contact button to bring up only that number. gg

Re: Otterbox defender with iOS 7 control center, no go - 9 years ago

If you do anything dirty or physical outdoors forget the defender. We have a lifeproof fee on my daughters phone. It seems to be fine. She is on the high school swim team so she is constantly around water. Even the locker rooms are

Otterbox defender with iOS 7 control center, no go - 9 years ago

I have a otter box defender on my iPhone 5. I have found 1 more reason that the case sucks. The plastic screen cover does not allow you to activate control center in iOS 7. I thought maybe my install did not go properly but when I take the case off it works exactly as it should. Add that to the fact that the case gets infiltrated with dust and debris, plastic cover gets all marked from und
