There is an update to iMovie, but I'm reluctant to install it as I finally have iMovie figured out and am afraid Apple may break some of the accessibility in the new version. Is there a way to back off an update and revert to a previous version once you've installed the update? On the iPhone

Hi Phil Sorry to sound like a broken old record here, but the usual recommendation applies. Make, and retain, a current full backup of your system. Use something like Super Duper! or Carbon Copy Cloner to accomplish this. That way, you'd know whether the update breaks anything and, if it

Hi James Respectfully, I disagree on this point, and I'll tell you why. If, as sometimes happens, updated versions make changes to preference files which point to the same application name as the older versions did, but which have distinctly updated formatting, replacing the older app won't

Hi all, Are those Mag. safe chargers the only ones for a Macbook pro? My original one has died rather spectacularly (it involved a smell of burning, then the bit that connects to the mac fell off) so I need to replace it. However the reviews on the applestore aren't great for the new mag.

Actually sadly not. Because the connector popped off, it's counted as physical damage and thus, like most things useful, is not covered under the absolute waste of money that is applecare. On 9 Sep 2012, at 20:24, Sarah Alawami marri...@gmail.com wrote: If you are covered under apple care
