I received notice via email to make sure I updated the system.

I shut the thing off. I think the iMac is a very nice, well built computer but Apple's way of doing things just isn't for me. The Windows laptop I use everyday works just fine, updates itself when required and doesn't require me to sign in to a "Windows" account on a regular basis to use. Also never had any problems with viruses or malware and I've been using it since 2009. I credit the AVG anti-virus software for much of that. |

I signed into the general Apple account because it was the only password I could remember and just hit "cancel" on the other Apple account requests. I thought it started the update process and left to take care of some other things I had to do. Came back an hour or so later and it reported update was not complete until I signed into iCloud, iTunes, etc. That's when I just shut the thing down and said, "screw it". |

In his haste to be "right" he didn't notice the very first sentence in your post suggesting it had been "three months" since you "fired it up"... Most rational folks would assume it's set up right reading your posts here all year, and all it needed was some time to do three months worth of updates... again, all of us are smarter than krause. Three months worth of updates on the apple OS probably amounts to no more than a weeks worth of updates on windoze. -- “My heart goes out to the people of Ebola.” Sarah Palin |

Any liberal arts majors in your neighborhood? It's not that I can't do what Apple tells me to do. I just have no interest in constantly responding to their demands in order to use the computer. It's set up fine but I've found that Apple is really a higher maintenance OS than Windows Vista or Win 7. It's really a shame. Ms.E and I bought each other iMacs last Christmas. Her's is the 27-inch, mine the 21.5". She rarely uses hers because she does everything on her iPhone. (which drives me nuts also because she has that stupid thing in her face all day). |

Three months worth of updates on the apple OS probably amounts to no more than a weeks worth of updates on windoze. Nonsense. I very rarely shut this HP laptop off. When I'm finished using it I put it in "sleep" mode. About once a month I'll notice that it "woke up" automatically in order to download and install updates from Microsoft. The entire process is done without my intervention, supplying passwords or any other action. It just updates and works. |

My guess is that Harry has his security settings at "come **** me" so he is auto logged onto everything. He doesn't think anyone can hack an apple. I don't know but I suspect the Apple OS is no more "hack proof" than Microsoft's Windows. In fact, I recently read an article that claimed that Windows has become much more secure ... even more so than the latest Apple OSX. In the past the relatively low number of Macs in use compared to Windows machines made the hacking not worth the effort. Lately though it seems that both the iPhone/iPad OS and the OSX used in the computers are coming under increasing attacks. |
