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.

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

Just watched MacMost Now episode 908. About 40 seconds in, you mention in reference to video formats, “you can convert them using iTunes.” I was not aware of this functionality in iTunes. How does this work? Do you have a past episode explaining how to do ... (3 Comments)

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)

I have gotten to the 200 gig size with my iPhoto library. Should I be worried that I will begin to have trouble backing up on Time Machine and that things will get corrupted? I would hate to lose all my precious memories and hard work naming all the events for the past years. Any ... (6 Comments)
