Greetings,
Over the months some of you on this forum have tried to lend me an assist with my many, many Mac problems.
Thank You.
Unfortunately, I have a very "special" mac, that resists all of your suggestions and my entreaties to behave itself!!
I really can't afford to replace this mac, but, I must.
The screen zooms in and out at will, the cursor is often unmoored, the screens roll through unasked. (I didn't even know that it had multiple desktops!)
I can never tell from one day to the next whether or not it will be usable.
I do think that the basic problem is that I've been unable to download the new version of Safari. (I purchased the mac from someone on Ebay)
When I tried to download it, I was asked for a password, then, when I couldn't come up with the password, it sent an email to someone at a .edu address.
Then in order for me to access my email (google no longer supported my version of Safari) I downloaded a copy of Chrome.
For those of you who wonder, some of the suggestions I received were to run a malware detector. Did that, found nothing.
So, finally, my question. Are there any suggestions that you can make regarding purchasing another inexpensive, refurbished MAC?
I do need the disk drive, and I used my mac for basic stuff, email, reading, and I admit, streaming movies![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
No fancy stuff here.
