Transfer photo's

[Peter Curtis]

Hi all
Can someone recommend an app or program which I can transfer photo’s direct 
from my iPhone to a USB stick or external hard drive without going through 
“Photos"?
Kind regards

Re: Problems with Facebook and now gmail

[Tim Law]

There is a new spam message coming into Facebook Messenger that purports to be 
from a known friend. 

The best thing seems to delete it if possible and not open it. Some of my 
friends have either sent  a messenger message alerting everyone to not open it 
once they know it’s been sent from them. 

It’s disappointing that this scourge has infected what was a relatively free 
from hacks platform.

Re: Problems with Facebook and now gmail

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Rosemary,

I have never used Facebook and never will for numerous reasons, and one is lack 
of security & privacy.

Your problems sound like you have installed a rogue App.
“if you are seeing this happen in your Facebook inbox as IM's rather than 
e-mail then it is probably caused by a rogue app that you have allowed. You may 
have clicked on a post someone else has shared that installed an app without 
you knowing it. Spammy posts that promise things that Facebook doesn't allow 
are notorious for this... things like "see who has been visiting your Facebook 
page" and things like that. 
Go to the applications area in your settings and look for applications that are 
new or ones you are unsure of what they do and get rid of them.”

Cheers,
Ronni

Problems with Facebook and now gmail

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi,
My friends have reported getting messages on Messenger from me that I
haven't sent. I changed my Facebook password. What else can I do as the
messages seem to kept being received.
and now I’ve had email messages from my gmail address that I haven't sent.

Any suggestions?
Cheers
Rosemary Spark

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni thanks for this. I figured the other volumes would have a logical 
explanation. 

After having run the Disk Utility> First Aid process now my connection to the 
Time Capsule has me connecting as “Peter Crisp” straight off the bat - without 
the need for entering password. It does take a moment to connect but at least 
now the password is remembered. I think I can for now assume that my Guest 
status on my own network has been returned to my true identity. Thank you and 
Neil for tips in getting there.

Regards


Pete

 Hi Peter,
 
 I just caught up with this thread... sorry for late reply.
 But have you tried ‘Keychain First Aid’?
 Since problems with passwords are likely due to the keychain, open the 
 "Keychain Access" utility and run the "Keychain First Aid" routine 
 (available in the "Keychain Access" menu) on all keychains. 
 
 After this, if the problem still persists, try running a permissions fix 
 on the boot drive using "Disk Utility", which should ensure all files on 
 the boot drive are properly accessible.
 
 Regards,
 Ronni 
 PS. Best of luck with your Eagles today... smash Carlton ;-)
