I clicked on "Pocket" where I have several sites stored, and found a menu but none of my info. Using Firefox but tried Brave too. Where has it gone and how to get it back? I can still save to it.

Thanks,

My Philips "monitor supports HDMI 2.0" and I’m using the cable (which isn’t marked) that came with the monitor.?

As for Ventura, I think the hard disk sleep option is gone as SSDs don’t sleep the same way and the setting actually became problematic for some drives. If you’re not actively using your Mac for anything, letting it sleep fully should be fine as it should wake just as quickly. Modern Macs put the display and CPU to sleep together unless you specify to prevent the computer from sleeping.

Settings for auto-sleep, etc. are in the??of System Settings.

My only “issue” with this monitor, and it is not major, is that it takes 10-12 seconds to wake it up after sleep. I had become used to the instant on of the iMac’s built monitor. Could this lag be something normally associated with an HDMI connection???I have written to Philips but have not heard back as yet.

I’m also new to Ventura. I dont use a screen saver but I do use a Hot Corner to put the display to sleep when I walk away. I don’t see where the Energy Saver setting, ?“Put hard disks to sleep when possible” has a time option with it – maybe it’s automatic? Does it matter that I have an SSD and not a “hard Disk”? Does anyone have any thoughts to share on monitor sleep vs cpu sleep? I’m not on any network.

I don’t know what happened to change it or what I pressed to change it. is there a settings to permanently fix it?

If it is to prevent malware, not sure that will help because if I cannot see it then I’d have to load thee content to see that it was malware?
So how would that help?

Do you have a button labelled ‘Load remote content’ at the top right of such emails? If so click on that and it will load the pictures.

Re: Mail not displaying content properly

That is what my problem that you described. I went to do a Safari search and so the same info you listed below. I think it worked for me.?

I still have the problem of my realator who sends me a house to look at and when I press on the picture, I am taken to Safari and the page is blank.

I looked this situation up and the fix for it was not a possibility on my iphone6+. Had to do
with screen time but I don’t have a passcode for it and my phone does not say something like
“did you forget your password” so I cannot change it. It was never a choice to have a password in the first place on older iPhones.

I had decided that it was time to replace my 10 year old iMac. While I am a retired commercial photographer, I still use Photoshop often, but not in hugely intensive ways. My iMac has 16GB of RAM installed and performed acceptably for me but I would not want to sacrifice what I had. I wondered if the faster M2 processor and integrated 8GB of RAM might be fast enough for me as well as save some cash. I was was informed that Apple now has a 14 day return policy with full refund allowing me to return the 8GB model and order the 16GB upgrade if I needed it.

I created 3 real time (not typical bench mark tests) tests that approximated how I would use Photoshop and ran them on the iMac. I received the Mini yesterday and quickly set it up and ran the same tests. I would have been happy to see “comparable" results. I was amazed that 2 of the tests ran at twice or faster than the iMac. One of the tests ran at pretty much the same speed.

Not only that, but I figured I saved $600 over a similarly equipped iMac M1.

I’m happy.

In general, it is sometimes necessary to quit the app AND restart the device.?

Also, rather than play with protection/security settings, it is often better to figure out strange emails by using webmail and going to the email server of the account receiving the troubled email. The rest of the emails are fine, so why is this one having problems?!?!

For example, if it is received in you icloud, me, or mac account go to your online icloud account. If it is in you gmail, go to your gmail account online. Once there, carefully look at the troubled email, and possibly delete it on the server, because it sounds corrupted or contains malware.?

Curiosity, is one of the hooks used by social engineering. (One of the ways to corrupt a private network at a business is to drop a thumb drive in their parking lot with a virus on it.)

Sometimes a little paranoia is healthy. ?

We did so, restarted Mail, and the problem persists. ?

We went back to Mail > Settings > Privacy and turn off [Protect Mail Activity] and [Block aAl Remote Content], toggled each one on then off again, quit and restarted Mail again…but the problem persists.

I suspect that one of those Mail .plist files is corrupted but I am ever so cautious about messing about with them, in particular on someone else’s computer.

Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this?

For the time being she can click on the [Load Remote Content] bar which appears at the top of each email displaying the “?” inside a blank square.
