Hell, blast, damnation, hellfire, s***t and b****r
My lap top has finally gone! I did NOT want to buy a new one this month as I spent far too much on holiday!
I suppose I'm going to have to go to apple tomorrow. But how the f* do I transfer data from old to new?
Don't any body mention backups as I don't do the . ( hang head in shame)
It's really only the pics as everything else is on the iPad.
Sorry folks,but I really am stamping my size 5foot. Forgive me please. I'm not normally like this, I do appologise.

That should say NEED, not needle. And I haven't even had a vodka yet!

I do needle him sometimes, wink, but yes it's jolly useful having your own computer nerd expert inhouse.

Apparently my iMac uses a snow leopard rather than a lion. hmm

(bagitha confused they are very rare you know. Quick someone call the doctor to baggy, she's losing it!

Rare and beautiful. There was a TV programme that showed them in the Hindu Kush and they put a tracking collar on one to research her movements. I wrote a poem about it for my OU creative writing course. But this is not a thread for poetry.

External hard drives are very cheap these days. All my photos and videos plus emails and important files live on both the PC and the external drive.

Oh Annobel ...I saw that programme as well ...please put your poem on the poetry thread ...I would love to read it sunshine ...as would many others smile

Somebody please tell me in simple language , how I get a photo from my macpro to gn profile. It's driving me even more crackers than I usually am! Perhaps it's all to do with being a 7ft blue nitrous oxide breather.
