    Blinking (mains) power light on laptop

    Incredibly, there's not even a whisper of a clue anywhere on the laptop itself indicating its model. All I know is that I bought it new in 2015 and that it has a 11.6 inch screen and that it was called a netbook. I do recall the numerals "200" cited somewhere in its technical nomenclature. I...

    Blinking (mains) power light on laptop

    For unknown reasons the power light on my Asus mini-laptop has started blinking (green and orange). It's definitely the power light because it goes off whenever I remove the power cable connector (which I do only when the laptop is turned off). The laptop itself nonetheless continues to function...

    Solved Unhappy with my iPhone

    Well, finally I managed to resolve the Apple ID holdup once and for all. In the end I went online (via my laptop) and did it on Apple's website. Since then my next-door neighbour and a good mate of mine (who just so happens to have an earlier version of the same SE iPhone) has put me through a...

    Solved Unhappy with my iPhone

    Hi Bruce, Well, this is how matters stand at present: (1) The phone still refuses to recognise my primary Chrome email address & password. (2) Yet despite this it allows me full access to the above address's email inbox. (3) The phone meanwhile continues to recognise my second (Chrome)...

    Solved Unhappy with my iPhone

    I would like to say nearly all of them, but that would be an exaggeration, though not wildly so. Likewise some of the terminology continues to perplex, ditto menu options and how these options link up with one another. It's a different corporate structure, that's all. Meanwhile the heavy weather...

    Solved Unhappy with my iPhone

    PS. Just to add that I've now ordered a copy of "Apple iPhone for Seniors" from Amazon. Hopefully that'll do the trick. :)

    Solved Unhappy with my iPhone

    Yes, the Apple store option has already been suggested to me, but thanks for the reminder anyway, and I'll take it up asap - right now it's a bank holiday weekend here in the UK. Meanwhile I'm scouring the net for a (basic) manual or primer of some kind, something that explains the various...

    Solved Unhappy with my iPhone

    Warning: this concerns continuing issues I'm having with my SE iPhone. But I need to start at the beginning. Soon after I purchased the phone I registered it with the Apple Support Community, using my laptop. Fine, except I forgot to save the computer-generated password. Hands up, my fault. So...

    Solved Unable to sign in to my iPhone

    It's okay, a friend managed to get past this hurdle for me. There's still everything to do, of course, but at least I've now got an Apple ID. It's a start. One reason why I put off buying a smartphone for so long is because of this learning curve. Roll on Matrix-style implant technology. . .

    Solved Unable to sign in to my iPhone

    I've just purchased an SE iPhone - my first Apple product - and one problem I'm having with it is trying to create an Apple ID account. So the first thing I do is supply my name, which is no problem. What is a major hassle, however, is completing the date of birth section. Yes, I can put in the...

    Solved "Welcome to Mail" dialogue box Issue

    I'm afraid I'm still struggling with the above problem. I think the cause is due to having had my laptop's Google/Chrome account adapted to run via the Firefox web browser (there are fundamental reasons for this setup, the explanations of which are beyond my ability to explain. . . if that makes...

    Solved "Welcome to Mail" dialogue box Issue

    Hi, Yes, that's it, all right. My email account is Google Chrome.

    Solved "Welcome to Mail" dialogue box Issue

    Hi Very often when I'm trying to contact an organisation online, a blue-coloured dialogue box appears on the screen, entitled: "Welcome to Mail", after which follows: "Add your accounts to keep up to date across devices". It looks suspiciously like a Microsoft product, but whatever it is or...
