Mac Issues Resolving Themselves and other stuff
Note this blog post -as well as being a note of thanks to some people - could get rather technical. You can skip it if you like.
IPad Issues — Virus maybe?
Well recently I have been mucking around with website building on the iPad. I have been looking up all kinds of stuff to do with web design on my Mac. Yesterday my Mac caught a virus, Bankworm, which I managed to remove. But now my iPad is acting strange. I was trying to do something with [...]
Check 1 2
