and then it hits something solid that will not let it go in any further. Since the slot has felt-like material covering the opening I can't see what's going on inside. Anyone out there experienced this or have any ideas on how to fix it, or is it time to visit a genius? Dan

Re: [MacGroup] CD/DVD drive won't accept disk

is that when it tries to eject during the restart/touchpad procedure it moves the intake/eject mechanism up and down, and once it allowed a disk to be inserted during that movement, it returned things to a normal state. Just a guess. Hopefully, it will continue to work properly now. Dan

[MacGroup] Default Settings for printer

Next question: Is there a way to change the Default Settings for a printer? I know how to save different presets for printers in the Print dialogue, but it won't let me overwrite the Default Settings preset, nor can I delete it. ___ MacGroup

Re: [MacGroup] To do list app recommendations

Apple's Reminders works well for me, plus syncs with iCloud so it's on all devices. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations about a good to do list app for iOS. I've tried a few and haven't been impressed yet. I don't need anything fancy. But ideally something fun (or at least well

[MacGroup] Cursor/keyboard hanging

keystrokes or somehow coming in between my keyboard/trackpad and the computer? I'm still trying different things to see if I can isolate something that's causing this, but so far without success. Has anybody else experienced anything strange like this after updating to 10.8.2? Dan

Re: [MacGroup] Insight

What kind of Wifi router are you using? We had a fairly late model Linksys that would go in and out on us regularly, and I finally replaced it with an Apple Airport Extreme that has been rock solid since we got it about three months ago. It cost us an extra $100 or so, but it's been well worth
