An app I use regularly will not open or quit today. I have run First Aid - no issues. I have searched for a plist but cannot find one for the app. I have attempted to restart the computer but it will not do so because the app will not quit. I have attempted to "Force Quit" the app several times. It ...

After I installed El Capitan on my 2011 iMac I began getting this message. It recurs frequently.I don't know what to do about it, and I don't know what problem it might cause. Thank you.

Ever since installing El Capitan on my iMac I get this message frequently. I do not know what file it refers to and don't know how to get rid of it. I hope the screen shot shows.

Thanks,
Anne

I was in the kitchen and heard the computer restart - more than an hour after I tried to restart it. Apple said it restarted because of a problem, which Apple label "Sleep wake failure."

Greetings,

I am still using 10.7 on both of my computers. I would like to upgrade to Yosemite rather than El Capitan. Is that possible? I cannot find a way to do that on Apple's website.

Many thanks,

Thanks, Richard. I started force quit of the finder and got frightened when it said "continue installation." So, I aborted and restarted the computer and all seems to be fine.

Down in my cool basement - the only good place to be this afternoon - save on water.

I started to copy large photo files from a thumb drive to my hard drive. About one third the way through I decided that I did not want to do that. I clicked the "x" in the copy window but cannot cancel the original command. The copy window has been reading "stopping" for many minutes. I cannot resta...

Thanks, Steve. I had visited System Preferences multiple times and was concerned that 2 printers were listed - both my series printer. I deleted one of them and all is fine. Apparently, the printer recognized the second one but not the first, and the computer was trying to print from the first liste...
