The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.9/16/13

I just noticed that on my iMac the Mobile Applications folder is taking 7.49 GB of space, with many many older versions of the apps.

Is that even a good idea?

Gary, my Computer Sleep and Display Sleep are both set to 15 minutes and it’s annoying. Is it OK to turn off Sleep completely? The window that pops up says it uses more energy. Is that a problem since I leave my Mac Mini on all the time.
thanks

I’m finding that using Siri is a crap shoot. “Her” mistakes often outnumber her successes. I speak clearly and succinctly yet she doesn’t get it right. It happens with “Open Sig-Alert App” half the time (not always) and “Call Sue, ... (6 Comments)
