Is this mysterious or what? For a few days I have notice that my macbook's apple light has been lit when I get up on a morning. This morning I happened to be up early and I did not turn it on. I was just sitting in my chair with a coffee and my cat on my lap. Suddenly I heard the startup sound. I looked down and the apple light was on. It has never done that before.

I have a problem with some of my computers not connecting to,or recognizing the airport but other computers (same location) recognizing that same airport.

Using Mission Control

A number of pages one can open ona computer screen--for example while browsing, or while writing a book (where each section might be in a different doc file)--can be very large. But working on a desktop overpopulated with windows is likely to be very inconvenient, especially when the screen is small. The application named Mission Control, that comes with Lion, the latest Macintosh operating system, offers two tools for dealing with "too many windows" situations. After learning how to use Mission Control, I decided to summarize what I have learned, in a short introductory User's Guide. How can a retired teacher miss an opportunity to teach? The guide is freely available online at

Feel free to use it in any way you wish. And share what you know about Mission Control. Thank you in advance.

And the Toshiba icon did not appear on the left side of the Disk Utilities screen as it was supposed to. Rather, the icon flashed each time a new Toshiba icon appeared on the desktop, but immediately disappeared. I closed Utilities and the Toshibas continued to multiply until I unplugged the USB.

I had plugged in the Toshiba once before, and it had not multiplied. At that time I did not know how to format it, so I just removed it.

Is this a failure of the Toshiba or am I doing something wrong? ]]> Hardware George3 http://www.macusers.org/showthread.php?t=7126 http://www.macusers.org/showthread.php?t=7126 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mactalk/~3/URbUdqL2dMU/showthread.php Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:06:49 GMT I just got the new Beats Wireless headphones this week and i tried to charge it and got this message, "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
