Purchased item in Apple Store without clerk - 10 years ago

Well, not exactly, but when I went in to buy an iPhone 5 case, the employee asked if I had the Apple Store app on my iPhone. Since I did, he walked me through making a self purchase. Scan the bar code and sign in with Apple ID and you're good to go. I guess the idea is that you go in, make your purchase and walk out with the item. Pretty awesome. I guess there are so many eyes on you in that stor

In our climate, if you don't get clay pots dry and store them inside, they will break even if they are empty.

Re: Dyson Ball Vacuum? - 10 years ago

I purchased a refurb Dyson and have had nothing but good luck with it. As for the ball? Seems like it puts a lot of stress on your wrist.

Photostream question - 10 years ago

I got a new iPhone last week, and only about 50 of the hundreds of photos I have in my Photostream show up on it. Any suggestions on getting them all on there? They still show up on iPhoto.

Re: Anyone here with sinus/allergy problems try this stuff? - 10 years ago

I've used this company's Sinus Buster, and it really does relieve a sinus headache. I swear by it. I might add that I was a skeptic, and when it was suggested, I thought the same thoughts about it as most of you have mentioned-chicken entrails and all. But it does work. The first time you use it you just about croak from the burn up your nose, but after a couple of times of using it and knowing

Re: Did no one buy an iPhone 5? - 10 years ago

Based on the number of 4/4s available on eBay, lots of people have upgraded.

Re: Did no one buy an iPhone 5? - 10 years ago

I got one this week. I upgraded from an iPhone 4 as well. Siri is cool. The phone is light and thin. I put it in a rubber case I got at a mall kiosk. That case seems to attract pocket lint like crazy. The phone is great, but I really can't tell much difference between it and the 4 other than Siri. OH, LTE is crazy fast compared to 3G.

Re: Blow in cellulose insulation? - 10 years ago

It has been in my attic for 36 years. It's a great insulation. Don't worry about it being made of old newspapers. What's the difference?

Re: Rosemary~! what to do with plant over the winter? - 10 years ago

It should already be inside. Pretty hard to keep them alive without a greenhouse. You might be better off just getting a new one in the spring.

Re: GARMIN? Update maps or update unit? - 10 years ago

I purchased an upgrade a few years ago and found that the roads that hadn't been there still weren't there. I wouldn't buy an upgrade again. I would rather buy a new unit with lifetime upgrades.

Surely someone has an old dead one lying around. Ebay? The Apple store? They might have a spare piece in the junk drawer.

Re: iTunes purchase warning - 10 years ago

No updates from App store that recently. At any rate, I wrote to them and the are refunding my charge on the album. I'm happy, but I'll have to be more careful in the future.

iTunes purchase warning - 10 years ago

Wow! I accidentally just purchased an album in iTunes. When I clicked the purchase button by accident, I thought to myself, "No problem, I'll just click no on the do you really want to do this warning." Well, there was no warning. When did that disappear? I just bought Fun's Some Nights. I had never heard of them, and because I enjoyed one song on SNL, I thought I'd listen to some previ

iPad Mini - 10 years ago

Went in to the Apple Store today and looked at the iPad Mini. I really like it. Thinner than I expected, and it was really light. The screen looked good to me. I would trade my iPad2 for one.

Re: Quitting Safari - 10 years ago

I'm having it on both of my computers, and my wife is having it on hers. She never migrated anything to that computer, a MBA, and doesn't download anything that is not Apple. Terribly aggravating. I'm just tired of fighting.

Quitting Safari - 10 years ago

I'm quitting Safari. I love Safari, but I'm sick of having to open a new page about every ten minutes because I cannot type into a box such as the one I'm typing in right now. Really irritating. This started with Mountain Lion. I'm using Camino right now. We'll see how that works out. Mac Mini 2.4 ghz core 2 duo, 8 gb ram, 10.8.2

Re: Trash Can Preferences - 10 years ago

Reinstalling the system didn't work either. I'm doomed.

Re: Trash Can Preferences - 10 years ago

I gave that a try with no success. I'm thinking I should just reinstall the system.

GGD-Yes it does. Zoidberg-Well, I don't know anything about a recovery partition. I did the disk repair and permission repair, but still the same behavior.

I threw Spotify in the trash today and it's been working that way since then. I don't think it ever worked that way before. I don't know that I have a third party app going......

Trash Can Preferences - 10 years ago

Where do I find the trash can prefs in Mountain Lion? All of a sudden, everything I put in the trash is deleted immediately. I don't think that's how it used to work.
