iMac DOA…

There is trouble in paradise. My 2011 iMac has a faulty graphics card and has all the classic symptoms. After taking it for a checkup  with an Apple tech, they confirmed my own diagnoses. After doing some research I found there was an recall on my iMac,  but I was unware of it at the time in 2013 when they issued it. Now I am stuck with a computer that is going to cost more than it’s worth to fix.  So I guess it’s time to recycle it and start saving for a new one.

Clearing History Not Web Data

Ever since upgrading to OS X Yosemite, Safari 8 now clears all website data when I  clear my browser history. This has become really annoying. In previous version of Safari, history and website data items were cleared separately via two different methods.  Now you have to use a workaround to just clear the history. For me I go to History > Show History and manually delete all of the history.
