even though out of warranty Apple fixes computer (via megandowntherabbithole)

She is really lucky to get everything covered out of warranty. Usually Apple is hard nosed about this. Has anyone else who didn’t use their AppleCare have a courtesy repair?

In an attempt to be organized (Stop it. Stop laughing. Right now.) I’ve made these huge elaborate lists of goals and timelines and things I want to get done in the next year, art-wise.

Can’t download and have Aggregated ethernet connections?

Apple – Support – Discussions – Downloads Waiting – SOLVED! …. Interesting problem. Apparently this aggregate link causes a failure to download apps from the App Store. Michael J Keller II also helpfully shared the Apple support doc in how to do this.

I have never had to aggregate links simply because most companies I’ve worked for didn’t have the infrastructure or want to buy the ports for this. Still it is a great “best practice” to do.

Sending through Apple Mail hangs up

CMCSK solves the issue. Another reason this can occur is if your message is too big (like over the limit of your ISP). Most ISP’s wont sent an email over 20 MB. This can also happen if your network is slow and your message is big. One client who had this issue was fixed by upgrading to Gigabit Ethernet on the switch. Pretty cheap these days.

Repair permissions and restarting your computer usually helps with app quirks. See if “rebuilding” helps – Mail/Mailbox/Rebuild
