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.11/22/19

If I do a Spotlight search and find the file I’m looking for, how can I “see” where the file is stored so that I can go directly to it next time? And could I change the location at that point, such as to put it on the desktop?

Gary, – Which FAX app do you use on your IOS devices? There are a bunch of them and I am curious to know which one you have determined is the most useful for the occasional fax – in and out.
Thanks a lot

Hello Gary,
I used to have a short, two letter password for my MacBook Pro. Now, after doing an install of Catalina, I’m required to use at least 4 characters. Is there a simple way to change back to the 2 letters?
Thank you,
Chris

Somehow I have “inherited” a U2 Album on iTunes. I have killed that accursed album several times, but like the mythical Phoenix, it keeps arising again and again. How can I get rid of it PERMANENTLY?
