Big Mac Attack
Oct. 16th, 2011 06:41 pm. . . . And NOT in a GOOD way.
Have returned home from Cleveland to my laptop, to find that on my laptop I am having sudden ghastly trouble with Apple 3.6 Mail: it seems to have updated itself somehow without warning, and now refuses to *send* anything. As in, the "Send" glyph is dark, and unresponsive, and even the pulldown menu MESSAGE>SEND is greyed out. I'm receiving just fine.
I've also got the mail working fine on my iPhone & iPad - I think it did some kind of stealth upgrade when I started with the new iPad last week, since that's when it started making dear little whooshing noises when it sent mail. But I was having no trouble with it then. I turned it off Friday, and turned it on this afternoon, and the Mail told me there were exciting new things I could do. (I can now think of a few exciting new things I can think of for it to do . . . but never mind.)
I have OSX 10.5.8.
I am not clever at any of this, so unless you know a quick & obvious fix, please don't leave elaborate suggestions here which I won't understand. Instead, please Comment here with a time that I can IM or phone you. Thank you.
BONUS POINTS: So I added some new Apps to the iPad (under my brother Philip's tutelage), and they are all trying automatically to load themselves onto my iPhone without even being asked. I bet there's a button I can push for that (to make it not happen, I mean). Isn't there?
