Subject: Further to my question about playing external audio files on my Macbook

Hi all.

Thanks to everyone who has written to offer me some help with this learning 
curve, of playing media files on my Macbook.


Unfortunately, it seems that I have multiple issues going on at the moment and 
this is perhaps why I'm experiencing all these other problems with my Macbook.


For you who have written to me, I've saved your messages and plan to be able to 
return to them after these other problems can be resolved.

Perhaps my biggest problem is that I live on the West Coast of Scotland, some 
55 miles north of Glasgow and my nearest VI tech guy.

I cannot get him to visit my home, because he has a standard guide dog, 
whereas, I have a specially trained off-road guide dog that can cope with my 
rural environment as well as the streets of a busy Glasgow, so I'm obliged to 
make an appointment , visit him and secure his support  and get help, before I 
can even think of playing media files.

One of my initial problems is an announcement saying something like "This 
computer cannot connect to Cloud because of a problem with your btinternet.com 
account"!  I've noticed this same message a couple of miles away in my local 
bar, though thought that it was simply attempting to connect with my Roughter 
in my house and I was 2 miles away.


There is no way that I can even begin to sort this out so need to get that 
sorted before progressing to playing media files.

So my next plan is to secure this help in the hope that my problems can be 
resolved away from my home.

I did get all devices set up in Icloud months ago, so perhaps if the problems 
can be resolved on my Macbook, then my Imac will just pick these up.

So for the meantime guys, I'll have to disappear for a while but I will keep 
your files and hopefully be able to have a go at playing media files on my 
Apple equipment later.
.

Thanks again for your patience and support.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

Re: Further to my question about playing external audio files on my Macbook

May I make two more suggestions, and this time they're people, not 
books. Tim Kilburn of this list is an Apple teacher, I'd bet he could 
sort you in a New York minute via Skype or some other non-batch chat 
exchange, and if he's too far west timewise to be convenient to work 
with, I offer my own expertise such that it is via the same media. I'm 
not yet an ACSP, but should be taking the exam by June, so while I'm 
probably not as good as Tim, I'm closer.
