Windows XP end of support

In article , says... Have you contacted Apple directly via Apple Care? I had a problem getting the built-in wifi on my new little Canon camera to link up consistently with my new iMac. I contacted Apple care last week, an engineer called me, he had a solution that partially worked and said he would escalate the problem to a development team. He called me on Saturday to let me know the "team" sent him an email saying it was working on the problem and might get back to him this week. I'm beginning to see why the computer-illiterate prefer Apple. Hand-holding. I wonder how many people here with Win systems have talked to or exchanged e-mails with Window tech support. Not me. Me either and I've been using Windows since it came out. Before that I used DOS and "Geo-Works". I am still exploring the Mac world. There are things I like and there are things I either don't like or maybe don't understand yet. One thing is for sure however. The "Mac" world is not as intuitive or problem-free as many of the Apple acolytes would like us all to believe. Other than the issue I am having with recording midi stuff I really haven't had an issue that I couldn't figure out, but it sometimes takes some hunting on the 'net to find the answers. The "help" sections and tutorials built into the Mac are not very specific or helpful. I get the impression sometimes that those who never used a computer or Windows would have an easier time becoming accustom to the Mac world which is maybe why I get tangle footed sometimes. Here's an example. I was trying to set up the 16 channels for midi event inputs last night. There's a window I found that represents the channels as boxes, numbered 1-16. I discovered if you click on the individual boxes, they change color from white to blue but nowhere does it indicate if blue represents "on" or "off". I guess you are just supposed to know this stuff. Wouldn't a check mark for "on" and blank for "off" make more sense? Why white and blue? Beats me. This is after spending an hour even finding the setup window with the boxes for these channels. Nowhere can I find any references to it in the help sections or setup instructions. |
