I think there is an issue with files saved on Dropbox and my M1 iMac. Many of the files I have created I am unable to open on my iMac but I can open them on my older MacBook Air.?
Here is an example:
And when I double click on the file I get this message. Yet I can open the file on my MacBook Air.
Anyone else have this issue or know of this issue?
It happens with .pdf files, NeoOffice files, .jpg files, photoshop files.?
Thanks.

I have not had runaway fan on my M1 iMac either.

First try to close the app normally if you can. If it's a system process, so you will need to close it here. Click on that process in the list and hit the close button at the top (a circle with an x in it on Big Sur). Your fan will slow down in a few minutes and you should be good.
System processes will start again if they are needed, so this will not wreak the havoc that you might think it would. Often it will restart and behave itself until it doesn¡¯t again.

They do have a form to send questions too but after I fill out the form and hit send it just hangs there and eventually quits.

O.K., senility may be setting in so I wanted to check with the smart folks.
Each day I do workup on a few files after the close of the market¡.forever I would backup the data to two folders on my local Mac, then I would go to iCloud and there were the files for me to copy my data to, one for each day of the week, which would allow me to drag Monday¡¯s file, then Tuesday¡¯s etc. ?
Finally I copied the Excel Spreadsheet to the file to replace it with the older file.
I also back all this up to DropBox and the TimeMachine drives on my local Mac.
Starting, I think, with one day last week, when I open iCloud all my folders and backup files are now gone¡Really? ?
What I¡¯ve discovered is the files are automatically backed up under the iCloud Desktop folder. ?Cool, but freaked me out until I discovered what was going on.
So now, when I replace the older files on my iPad with the new I go to the Desktop folder and they are instantly there, without me doing a thing.
Have I been asleep, I am running an older OS since one of my programs is only 32 bit, anyway I wanted to see if anyone else had noticed a change.
Have a great evening.

Re: Phishing email from Tumi
I get phishing emails purportedly from PayPal. It seems I buy high end stuff and charge it to my PayPal account. According to these emails I have spent thousands of dollars on various stuff. I am happy to say, however, I have never had a PayPal account.
Beware my friends.

They were counting on people to call, because the given phone number differed from the real phone number, but only in the middle three digits (real phone number 800-299-8864, phishing phone number: 800-781-8864).
Of course, they couldn't guess the last four digits of one of our credit cards, and the sales tax was no sales tax from any place nearby, and the receipt was a 1990's-style fixed-width-font invoice (which would be doubtful for a fancy-pants place like Tumi), but still... an impressive effort.
Sad to see that phishing has become more, uh, professional.

I have seen Apple replace a lot of things in over three and a half decades of buying their stuff. They charge a lot for it, but they REALLY want you to be happy with it.
That¡¯s how they get to charge you a lot for it. ::-)

I plugged it into an external power source and still nothing happened. Then I plugged it directly into a port on the computer and it fired right up. Makes me think my original keyboard got unpaired somehow and if I had just plugged it directly into the computer it might have paired and worked.
I wonder what would have happened if the Genius Bar had given it some effort.
Anyway, I am up and operating now.
Thanks. Jonathan.

It hasn¡¯t been dropped or mistreated - it just stopped working. Any idea what¡¯s going on or how I can fix it?
Thanks.
