    Why this message about 'can't open Documents'

    Has your 2020 27" iMac worked well for you or has it given you trouble? Usually I'm pretty confident with apple hardware but I've had pretty bad graphics issues right out of the gate, since day one, (and before any 3rd party software or RAM was installed.)

    iPhone How do I stop iPhone sending logs to Console on my Mac?

    I just noticed that, whenever my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.x) is on WiFi, it’s sending logs to Console on my Mac. I see almost no info about this online, and then it’s only showing people how to enable this with outdated Mac iPhone configuration software. I can’t find even a reference to adding or...
